STAMPS OUT COMPETITION
GOVERNMENT FILES SUIT AT ST.
PAUL AGAINST ALLEGED
PAPER COMBINE.

st. Paul, Dec 29.-Proceedings have
been begun in the United States cir
cult court for the district of Minnesota
for the dissolution of the SO called
paper manufacturers trust, which
since 1900 is alleged to have fixed
prices and controlled the output OF
paper in Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri and other
states west of the Mississippi river.
The proceedings We're brought in the
name OF the United States as com
plainant by William III. Moody, attor-
ney general, and Frank b. Kellogg OF
ST. Paul and James Nj Beck of Phila-
delphia, special assistant attorneys
general of the United States.
Mr.. Kellogg and Charles G. Houpt,
United States attorney for the district
of Minnesota, applied TO Judge Loeb
rem and secured an order for service
OF process outside the district. The
case will be heard in st. Paul, either
before Judge Lochren or the circuit
court of appeals.
The defendants are the General Pa
per company, a corporation organized
in 1900 under the laws OF Wisconsin
to act as sales agent for and TO regu-
late the output of twenty-three North
western manufacturers, the Manufac-
tulers' Paper company of Chicago as
sales agent of number of Eastern
manufacturers, and the twenty-three
Northwestern manufacturers. Nine
teen of the Northwestern companies
are located in Wisconsin. three are
located in Minnesota and one is lo-
Gated in Michigan
Practically every paper mill in the
Northwest making news print paper is
member of the combine. On some
occasions there have been shutdowns
ordered throughout some districts, as,
for instance, in the Fox River valley,
and Oh these occasions 1t would be
announced that a shortage OF water
was the cause. The general supposi-
tion was, however, that it was To
equalize the business. The company
handled about 500000,000 pounds OF
paper last year.

GARRISON HOPES FOR RELIEF.
Defenders of Port Arthur Continue in
Cheerful Mood.

Toxic, Dec. 9.-Trustworthy ad'
vices from Port Arthur confirm the
report that General Kondrachenko has
been killed and that General Stoessel
has been injured by falling from his
horse General Smilnoff is also re-
ported wounded.
The garrison is reported TO be conf
dent in the belief that relief will ar
rive before March /. Despite its heavy
losses Nov, &c and subsequently the
garrison is said to be cheerful and re-
solved to continue the struggle as long
as single soldier remains. The army
claims to have sufficient provisions TO
last until February. The navy pos
sesses about one months stores. The
price of food in the beleaguered for
tress is high But few junks bearing
supplies reached the garrison the past
month.
II is expected that the capture OF the
heights of Pigeon bay will further cur
tail the landing of supplies.

OFFSETS good EFFECT.
NOTE OF WARNING TO ZEMSTvoS
ARoUSES RUSSIANS REGARD

INTENSE EXCITEMENT AT MOSCOW
FEARED ANCIENT CAPITAL OF
RUSSIA MAY BE SCENE OF
BLOODY ExcESsES.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT AT MOSCOW

St Petersburg, Dec. 29.-It is evil
dent from the reports received from
the interior that the fairly good inn
manifesto on the subject OF reforms
may be more than offset in many
places by the effect of the government
note of warning 10 the zemstvos.
Private reports from Moscow rs
pecially indicate that much excite
ment prevails there and the gravtst
fears are expressed that the ancient
capital of Russia may be the scene Of
bloody eXcesses. A banquet arrang ed
to take place there on the anniversary
of the TroubotZsker revolution was
stopped by order of the police and the
Moscow Zemstvo adjourned sine Gle
as a protest against the government
note and the return OF Grand Duke
Sergius, the governor general of Mos
COW. The grand duke is held to be
responsible for the note. which may
signal a renewal of terrorism
The Pskoff Zemstvo has also fol-
lowed the lead OF those OF Chernigoff
and Moscow and it is not unlikely
that others will follow their example.
Altogether the moment is consider ed
critical. although the feeling i'll st. Pc
tersburg is quieter.
The papers are not disposed to re-
gard the injunction to refrain from
discussing political matters. Under
cover of commenting on the manifesto,
which they really accept in spirit OF
hopefulness, they do not hesitate 10
point out the YagueneSS of It's terms
and the lack of guarantees. The con.
servative liberals tear that a oontinu-
alton OF this course, especially If ac-
companied by renewal of | evolution
ary activity, will compel fepress;ye
measures, Jeopsrdize a realization OF
the fruits of the victory gained aad
place the moderate liberals in a ia Sc
position.

Secretary Alexander Thinks Trust Is
Within the Law.

Milwaukee, Dec. 29.-L. M. Alexan-

General Paper company and one OF its
prime movers, said regarding the pa
per trust suit:
There was no idea OF controlling
prices or restraining trade in the Or
ganizatlon Of the company and we do
not think it is monopoly Or can be
proved SO. The company was formed
as a buying and selling agency by

We consulted competent legal advice,
