CLAIM NOT WELL FOUNDED.
U. s. Circuit Court Hands Down De. clslon In Case Vs. Va.-Carolina Go,

Knoxville, May 27.-Judge c. D. Clark of the United States Circuit Court has handed down an opinion in the case of Rogan, Noce and Smith of Rogersville, Tenn, vs. the Virginia Carolina Chem ical Company ct aL, in which he holds that the plaintiffs claim for damages from the defendant to the amount of s5OOO on the ground that the defendant com pany has created a combine in this and other states in the fertilizer business, Is not we'll founded.
 He holds that chapter z1s, Tennessee Acts of 1891, and chapter 94, Tennessee Acts of 1897, on which the suit Is pre- dicated, have been repealed. Also that these repealed laws, which constitute the Tennessee antitrust legislation are in controvention of the federal constitution and void because they interfere with in terstate commerce between states men toned. Judge Clark says in conclusion that had the suit been brought on the sherman antitrust law, he could have passed upon 1t, but as the matter comes before him now he can take no further action.

BEEF SUPPLY CUT OFF.
If Striking Teamsters Arc Not Granted
 Their Demands 1t Means Famine.

Chicago, May 27.-Chicago's beef supply from the stock yards has been almost entirely cut of, and unless the concessions demanded by the striking teamsters are granted within the next day or two the city will be face to face with a meat famine. The situa. ton is growing more alarming with the passing of each day.
 Not only have the big packers failed in every attempt to smuggle meat out of the yards, but the whole sale and retail butchers, who usually drive their own wagons into the yards and take out loads of provisions, have been forbidden to do so in future. AS a result there is a movement on foot among the 1900 or more butchers of Chicago to close their shops for a week or two or as long as may be necessary to defeat the packers in their fight against the teamsters.
