THE BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO
WAR ENDS.
continuation of Two Big Trusts
which will Now Reach Out For
the Trade of the WOrld---Each to
Be Supreme in Its Own Former
Territory.

london, Sept. 29.-The tobacco war
has been ended by the amalgamation of
the American and British interests. An
oHicial statemant covering the details
and subscribed by the officers of both
combines, will be given out later.
The result is that the Imperial COM
many will, as agreed between the hith-
erto competing parties, be left in pos
session of the trade of the United King
dom. while the American company is
not TO be disturbed in the United
states and Cuba, and the British-Amer-
lean company will compete for the trade
Of other parts of the world.
One of the high officials OF the Amer
lean company said:
1.-The capital of the British American
company is to be $50, 100000. Mr.
Duke will be president. While it is
convenient to register it as an English
company and have its headouates in
London, we have named twelve direct
ors and the Imperial company's inter-
ests have named six. Their respective
financial interests are two-thirds Amer
lean and one-third English. There is
nothing to prevent transferring the
headquarters to America if it ever
poves more convenient to operate here,
but at present the BUSINESS can best be
carried on in London.
'We have named three directors for
the board of the Imperial company,
which will hereafter confne itself to
the United Kingdom, while the Brit
ish-American company goes in for the
worlds trade, outside of the United
States, Cuba and the the United King
dom. The Cuban provision insures for
America the business of the island, of
which we now control 80 per cent. The
Imperial company throws the new COM
pany into colonial business, so with our
trade outside the United States, the
British-A American company starts with
ready made annual business of 4,000,'

BONE AFFECTED.
President Undergoes a Second Small
Operation.

Operation.
Washington, Sept. 29.-Anorher ope-
ration has been performed on the left
leg of the president. In the former op-
Grafton a simple needle was used to re-
lieve the trouble, but in the later one
the surgeons made an incision with a
knife in to the bone, which was found
to be slightly affected. The presidents
case has been progressing satisfactorily,
but it is believed by the physicians
that the second operation will hasten
his complete recovery.
While none of the doctors are willing
to be quoted, they give the most posi-
tive assurance that there is not the least
cause for apprehension, and say that,
on the contrary, there is every indica-
ton of speedy recovery, that the area
of bone affected is very slight and will
not result in any Impairment of the
presidents limb, and that there is no
evidence whatever of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently express their opinion that
the president will be up in reasona-
bly, short time, and owing to his robust
constitution will soon be himself.

Private Murphy's Inspection.

The commanding officer Of a certain
regiment was at loss to know what
to do with one of his men whose per-
sistent untidiness was a source OF great
worry. Reprlmand and punishment
had been tried. but 1t was OF no avail:
the man was incorrigible. At last the
colonel hit upon what he thought a
good idea OF shaming him into decency.
So the company was drawn up on the
parade ground. and Private Murphy
was ordered to march up and down
the ranks. the men having been pre-
viously told to have a good look at
him. Murphy did so, and, unabashed.
halted In front OF the colonel, saluted.
and In a voice loud enough to be heard
by the whole company. ''Dhirtiest rigi-
