Richmond Va, March 22.-Mr. E. II.
Jones, the panville agent of the Univer-
sal Tobacco Company, was in the city to-
day and held conference with Mr.. A.
T. Thomas, one Of the representative
of the Imperial Tobacco Company of
Great Britain, which has established
headquarters here. This strengthens
the impression in tobacco circles that
the two companies will work together
agains: the American Tobacco Company,
on the latterts own soil, in the same
manner that the American has gone to
England and bearded the British COM
pany there.
While all information Is denied at the
office OF the Imperial Company, it is
believed that the arrangement between
the two companies will consist at least
in part of making the buyers of the
Universal the buyers for the Imperial
also.
All efforts failed to get from rep~esen-
tatives of the Imperial or tie Universal
admission of an agreed alliance, but
there is no question that the two will
cooperate in fighting the American
Company, and virtually pooling inter
ests in buying. Tonight it is practically
known that the Imperial will buy some
twenty-five or thirty million pounds of
leaf on this and the Western markets.

For the Action.

New York. March 22.--Concerning the
service of a subpoena on J. Perpont
Morgan in the suit of Peter Power
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, Francis Lvnde Stetson, coun-
sci for Mr. Morgan, today made The fol-
lowing statement:
SIN several of the newspapers this
morning have appeared items suggesting
that The counsel representing Mr.. Peter
Power in his suit against the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company had found or
anticipated some difficulty in securing
the attendance as a witness of either Mr..
]. p. Morgan or some member Of his
firm
yesterday Mr.. Morgan returned to
the city, from which he had been alb
sent during the tendency of these pro-
ceedirgs, of which he knew nothing un-
til Thursday at Washington. Immedi-
ately upon learning of the desire for his
examination he instructed me to advise
Mr. Powers counsel that he would at
tend at any time without subpoena. At
once 1 so advised the counsel who an
sWered that this would he entirely salts
factory and accordingly we arranged for
Mr.. Morgan's voluntary appearance
next week.
Apparently because Of the inability of
the counsel to reach his process servers,
for which miscarriage he has written to
me expressing his regret, Mr. Morgan
was served last evening with a sub
poena by a messenger, who obtained ad-
mission to his house upon the under
standing of Mr.. Morgan that the mes
senger had come from my oftice--a
statement for which Mr.. Powers coun-
sci disclaims any responsibility and ex-
pressed regret if any such statement
was made"
George Alfred Lamb, Of counsel for
Peter Power, made the following state
ment tonight:
Il accept full responsibility for tho
serN ice made upon Mr.. Morgan and the
manner in which it was made. Until
half past four yesterday afternoon 7 had
received no notification that Mr.. Morgan
would voluntarily testify, but / had
been led to believe that he would not
testify unless lie was duly suhpoenaed.
1t is regrettable that upon receipt of
the notification I was unable to recall
all my subpoena servers but l do not
agree with the conclusions reached by
Mr.. Stetson When lawyer gives
process server a paper to serve it is
perfectly justifiahle for a process server
tc make service in any manner and by
any means, and l certainly will not re-
pudiate the act of a man who was en-
ployed by me and who sought to serve
me zealously."

BY IAN almost unanimous vote the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs have
struck out of the Mitchell-Kahn Chinese
Exclusion Bill the paragraph prohibit
ing ships flying the American flag from
employing Chinese sailors, under $4,000
for each offense. This provision has
proved one of the chief sources of con-
troversy over the bill.
The main argument leading to stTik-
ing out the provision that American ships
on the Pacific compete with English and
Japanese lines, and the latter ships would
indirectly receive great advantage in
continuing the employment of Chinese
at $3.50 per month, whereas the American
ships would have to pay about $50 per
month for white sailors.
