Judge Sanborn Sustains the Course of
Judge Phillips in the st. Clair Coun.

Procedure.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug 29-The
United States court of appeals, in an
opinion by Judge Sanborn, today de
| MED the application for writ of ha-
beas corpus or other relief in the
cases of Thomas c. Poden, judges of
the county court of st. Clair county,
Missouri, and sustains the right of a
| federal judge to imprison judges of
| county courts for contempt in refusing
to carry out the mandates of a judg-
ment issued by him.
This case, the like of which, it is
said, has not come before the courts
since the early and unsettled days of
the republic, dates back to a period
shortly after the close of the civil
war. st. Clair county, in aid of the
construction of railroad, issued a
large amount of bonds and when these
became due the county sought to
evade payment and to have the courts
invalidate them. The Judgment
against the county, aggregating more
than 100000, however, were issued in
the United States court The county
fought on, adopting every legal device
to defeat the enforcement of the
judgment and the case has been in
the courts in some form until about
two years ago, when United States
Judge Phillips, at the instance of one
Of the judgment creditors, issued
writ of mandamus directing the coun-

OIL SEEMS GOOD SHIP FUEL.
Steamer Mariposa's Test a Satisfac.
tory Demonstration.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Although
the official report of Lieutenant Win
chell, who was detailed to accom-
pany the oil burning steamer Mari
posa on its recent trip from San
Francisco to the Society islands and
return, for the purpose of making a
comprehensive report upon every fea-
ture of the oil burning devices used
by that steamer, has not yet reached
the navy department, unofficial data
have arrived which are considered
very satisfactory to those interested
in the question of liquid fuel. The
run from San Francisco to Tahiti is
3,43S knots. 1t was made by Mariposa
at the rate of 1872 knots per hour,
the whole run lasting eleven days,
during which little over 400 tons of
oil were consumed The number of
pounds of oil per knot used on the
run was 260.9, which is equivalent to
S.5S knots per ton of Oil. 1t required
1.55 pounds of oil per hour to develop
one horse power. This is considered
quite satisfactory.

MANILA, Aug. 28-The island of

There were no American casualties.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The war

the occurrence of a series of earth

Twenty persons were killed by falling
walls, the victims all being Moros.
The Americans in the vicinity escaped
and the dispatch says there are no
reports that any of the soldiers oc-
cupying that portion of the island af-
fected sustained any injuries.
The upheaval occurred in the coun-
try adjacent to the Lake of Lanao, in
the Moro section of the island near
Camp Vickers, which is now the head
quarters of the American forces sta

cablegram says the mountains and
rivers and other streams were consid-
erably disturbed and much damage
was done. The extent of the damage,
however, was not reported. 1t is pre-
sumed here that the seismic shocks
occurred about five days ago, though
the date is not mentioned in the dis
patch.
This is the first serious earthquake
reported from that country during
American occupation. The most i'm
portant previous seismic disturbance
In Mindanao was the one that partly
destroyed Palak, Kota-Batu, and the
village on the banks of the river
Mindanao in 1872. This phenomenon
closely followed the eruption of the
volcano of Makaturin.
General Chaffee eabled also that the
military situation in that section re-

An "antiseptic" cigar has been pro,
duced in France. 1t is composed of
aromatic products, and contains no to-
bacco. Abundant smoke is produced
without the cigar being lighted, which
permits persons unable to use tobacco
to enjoy the illusion of smoking with
out feeling the evil effects. One of
the leading authorities on hygienic
subjects, however, pronounces the ci-
gar injurious, as introducing into the
mouth an excess of ammonia, and
urges that it's sale be forbidden.

A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion Of
the farming community.
The economical necessity of con-
solidation of the interests of manufac-
turers and those of their farmer GUS
toners must be apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
of material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence Of ex-
treme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the in
creasing of the prices of machines or
the reduction of the cost of manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
As can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is con-
servative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered to the public, it having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
ates.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands Of well known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
H. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
man Finance Committee, George w.
Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F.
Mccormick, James Deering, VIM. H.
Jones and John ]. Glessner; Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe.
The members Of the Board of Direct
ors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley,
William Deering, Charles Deering,
James Deering, Eldridge M. Fowler,
E. H. Gary, John ]. Glessner, Richard
F. Howe, Abram N. Hyatt, William H.
Jones, Cyrus H. Mccormick, Harold
F. Mccormick, George W. Perkins,
Paul D. Cravath.
The International Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harves-
ter plants in existence. The Cham.
pion, Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-plants that have been
producing nearly or quite 80 per cent
of the harvesting machines Of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and steel plant: it
has a new factory in the process of
construction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost Of pro-
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be con-
tinued. and that consequently the re-
suits cannot be otherwise than bene-
fetal to the f-rmer. To maintain the
present prices of these machines
means to continue and increase the
development of the agriculture Of the
world, for no one cause has contribute
ed Or can contribute more to this de-
yeIopment than the cheapness OF
machines for harvesting grains.
