CHARGES AGAINST MINISTER WI
United States Government Paid Him
For Bullion Taken by United
States Marines.

Pekin, March 11.-A prominent
Manchu censor has memorialzed the
throne for the removal of WI Ting
Fang, the Chinese Minister to the
United States.
The censor asserts that WI Ting
Fang corruptly retained, ostensibly
for repairs to the Chinese legation in
Washington, $4,000 of the Tien-Tsin
silver refunded by the American Gov
ernlIent.
According to a dispatch from Wash
ington dated January 23, Secr etary
Hay that day handed to Minister WI
Ting Fang a draft on the United

value Of the silver bullion captured
by American marines at Tien-Tsln.

that as Minister WI is charged with
the payment of salaries of the Chin
ese Consuls in the United States and
with defraying the expenses OF the
Chinese legations in Washington, Lima

will be applied to those purposes.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Decision of Supreme Court Against

Washington, March 11.---Justice Har.
Ian delivered the opinion in the case
of Connolly against Union Sewer Pipe
company, in the course of which he
said:
III combinations of capital, skill or
acts, in respect of the sale and pur-
chase of goods, merchandise or COM
modities, whereby the persons, firms,
corporations or associations forming
such combinations may control or es-
tablish, in their discretion, the prices
Of such goods, merchandise or COM
modities, are hurtful to the public in
terests and should be suppressed, It is
impossible to perceive why like com
bines in respect Of agricultural pro-
ducts and livestock are not equally
hurtful
Under what rule of permissible
classification can such legislation be
sustained as consistent with the equal
protection of the laws? 1t is so mani
festly denial of the equal protection
of the laws that extended argument
to establish the position would seem
to be unnecessary"
The decision Of the court in effect
declares unconstitutional the anti
trust laws of Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississip-
pi, Montana, Nebraska, North Caro-
lima, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas
and Wisconsin. In each of these states
there is an exemption in favor OF live
stock and agricultural products In the
hands of the raiser or producer, or of
labor organizations. Under the rul-
ings of the court, an antitrust law,
to be constitutional, must apply lndis-
criminately TO all combinations with
no exemptions or exceptions what
ever.

DELAREYS VICTORY.
News Was Received In House Of Com

Lcndon, iiarch lit was an.
nounced that General Lord Methuen
and four guns had been captured by
the Beers commanded by General De-
larey. The news came like a thunder
bolt TO London. The extra editions of
the evening papers giving an account
of the disaster were eagerly bought
up and bitter remarks were passed on
the subject of the governments decIa-
ration that the war in South Africa
was over. The news came too late TO
affect business on the stock exchange,
but excited curb dealings quickly fol-
lowed the closing, in which South Ar
ricars slumped heavily.
The news caused excitement in the
mine market. Shares were offered

tone hardened

seemed to think better of their out
break, and suddenly subsided. The
subsequent eulogistic references 10
General Methuen were received with
cheers.

to put them out of the Jail.

fore they had regained sufficient
strength to place the lifeless bodies

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
President Adheres to Views Ex.
pressed In His Message.

! La' IS'S9StSS w washington TTS
vou5 to Adoption of Platt Amend
ment to Their constitution-vlews
of Senator Allison.
Washington, March 11.-Chairman
Payne Of the ways and means COM
mittee and Representative Grosvenor,
also Of that committee, were among
the presidents callers Monday. Al
though both maintained great reserve
as to their calls it was known that
the Cuban reciprocity situation was
discussed. 1t was stated that no
special message was at present in
contemplation and that the president
continued to maintain the position for
reciprocity he had taken in his annual
message
To some of his other congressional
visitors who talked with him yester-
day regarding reciprocity, the presi-
dent said that there was difficulty in
determining just what promises or
representations were made to the
Cuban delegates when they visited
Washington, last summer previous to
the adoption of the Platt amendment
as part of the Cuban constitution.
There was no record of any promise,
but the understanding seemed to be
that reciprocity arrangements were
TO be made with Cuba, of a nature
which would give the islands products
an advantage in the markets of the
United States. In the course of the
cussion it is understood Senator ALI
son remarked that more importance
had been given to the subject than
was warranted; that the proposed 20
per cent reduction to be granted 10
Cuba would not be of material ad-
vantage to the planters of the island
nor would such a reduction of duty on
Cuban sugar affect in any material
way the beet sugar interests of this
country. The president expressed a
desire to secure harmony and some
of the senators who saw him said
they believed that also was the desire
of the republicans in congress.
