NOT TO LET UP ON TRUSTS
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT REST
 ON ITS VICTORY.
Attorney csnersrs Remark rha, It Had No Purpose of "Running z Amuoh,'' Generally Misunderstood-- All Peudlng Trust Cases to be Prose- outed with a. Much viEor as That of the Raiiroad Merger


 Washington, March 1S.A very wide- spread misunderstanding of the atti- tude of the administration towards the trusts appears to have grown out of an unconventional, but significant, remark os the attorney general the other day when the decision of the supreme court in the Northern Securities case was handed down. He did not say or mean, as so many commentators assert, that: the government intended to rest on it's victory and cease prosecuting trust cases. All he said was tha tthe govern ment had no purpose of running amuek.'' No one who knows the mean ing of that phrase and who realizes the clean cut methods of expression char acteristic of Mir. Knox, need be told that he acted simply to quiet unreasonable apprehensions that the government was arming itself for indiscrifninate warfare upon corporate organizations and property, killing where the law would kill and maiming where it could not more than mairn.
 But to infer that this means that trust prosecutions are to cease forth with is to ignore manifest facts. The merger case was not entered upon as a theatrical device but for serious pur- pose, as will appear later. All the pending trust cases will be put through with as much vigor as the merger case was; and if new questions arise which demand a judicial test, and the subject matter is worthy of it, the test will be made.
 No halt has been called, for example, upon the prosecution of the beef trust, and, as your correspondent understands ! 1t, none will be. This case, indeed, is now in the best possible condition for carrying out what the government has 1 in view, as the demurrer raised by the defense enables the two parties to pre- sent to the court simply the legal prop ositions involved, on the basis of a stip- ulated state of facts. The operations of the trust meanwhile are suspended I by an injunction.
 Members of congress and writers in newspapers are continually charging, in a vague, sweeping way, that the trust is still going on with it's unlawful work, | regardless of the injunction, but when ever the department of justice requests specifications, that it can have the trust promptly punished for contempt of court, the authors of the charges are suddenly stricken with paralysis of the accusatory system. With no facts l forthcoming, of course, there is no ground on which the department can proceed against the alleged offenders.

ITO SEES CoREAN EMPEROR.
Japanose staiesman Holds First of
 Audiences With Him.

Seoul. March 1S.-Marquis Ito had a formal audience with the emperor this afternoon in the council hall. The ,cere- monies were conducted in the presence of the court. The emperor was in his most affable mood.
 Tsutsuki, secretary of the Japanese council, who accompanied Marquis Ito to Corea, told the Associated Press cor respondent that the visit of the mar quis was made purely in behalf of the Japanese emperor to express sympathy with Corea in the present troublous times and contrary to the general inn pression it had no political object. Mar quis Ito had not come to discuss the political or war situations, although his visit may have consequences which will develop later.
 Tsutsuki admitted that Japan expect ed prolonged war, but Japan had to meet Russian aggression, and it was better to do so now than later.
