HOW THEY LIKE 1T.
Views Of German Papers on President
Roosevelt's Speech.

Berlin, May 19.-President Roose'
velt's prophecy in regard 10 the su'
premacy Of the United States on the
Pacific has excited surprise in Berlin,
coming, as it does, the papers say,
from so conservative a speaker. In
some quarters the presidents speech
is regarded as a direct challenge to
England, Japan, and Russia, whose
claims to trade supremacy in the Pa
cifc are held to be far older than
Americas, which only date from the
acquisition of the Philippines. In 9TH
er quarters the speech would be held
to ~inulcate an ofense rather than a
defensive policy, but it is believed
here that Mr.. Roosevelt is merely en-
deavoring to arouse sentiment in his
country in favor of the upbuilding of
a stronger fleet.

UNDER THE SHERMAN LAW.
First Conviction Secured In the Case
of the Salt Trust.

of the Salt trust.
San Francisco, May 10. - Before
Judge De Haven in the United States
district court the Federal Salt com
pany, commonly called the salt trust,
oil which D. E. Skinner is president,
was convicted of maintaining a mo-
nopoly, contrary to the Sherman anti
trust law. When the case was opened
counsel for the corporation withdrew
it's original plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to the first count of the
indictment. Judge De Haven will
pronounce sentence on Thursday. The
maximum fine is $1,000.
This case marks the first conviction
under the Sherman law, which went
into effect in 1892. Last November
the attorney generals Office won a
civil suit before Judge Morrow
against the same company on identi-
cal evidence. The successful termi.
nation of that suit abolished the con
tracts the Federal Salt company held.
The Federal Salt company was or
ganized in New Jersey in 1900. 1t
established a business in California
and quickly secured a monopoly OF
the product on the coast, raising the
price from 50 to Sc a ton to $50 and
$35.
