Contentious Discussed.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various cOnten-
tons of the packers and disposed of
them individually, He admitted that
some of the charges We're less specific
than desirable, but said this was nee
essarily true on account of the vast
extent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient had been shown to prove
continuous offenses and an Offense
of such a nature to justify the proceed
ing. The opinion continues the injunc-
ton granted against the packers under
the Sherman antitrust law by the
lower courts The opinion was con-
Cured in by all the members of the
court.
Machen Must Serve Time.
The supreme court of the United
States has denied the application of

cision of the court of appeals Of the

the Groffs were sentenced to two years
imprisonment and to pay fine of S10,-
coo each. The sentence will now be

cases on tire calendar that day.

Case.
TRIED IN DAVENPORT COURT
Defendant on Stand Declared Girl Was
Trying to Blackmail
Him.

A termination as sudden and unex-
pected as the details of the case were
sensational. brought the prosecution of
James Lloyd, formerly of this city, on
the charge of rape to an end in the
court of Justice Ditzen in Davenport
last evening. At the conclusion of
the defense's testimony an agreement
was announced whereby Lloyd and the
complaining witness, Mathilda Steg-
mann. were TO marry and when this
was done the state dismissed the case.
Lloyd, who was chief witness yester-
day, told a story calculated to Offset
the tales related by the states witness
SEES He declared the girl was any
thing but the innocent one she had
been depicted and alleged that the
whole scheme was one of blackmail in
which the terms had been made by
Miss Stegmann and Mrs. Allendorff,
who employed her. He said $4,000
vas the price demanded.
willing To Be Abducted.
He asserted the complaining witness
was willing party TO the plan to bring
Ter to this side of the river and keep
her away from the court when the
case was originally set for hearing.
The prosecuting attorneys. realizing
the weakness of their testimony, &C
cepted marriage as a solution rather
than pursue an uncertain case.

THE WOES OF RUSSIA

The more acute troubles at Odessa seem to
be subsiding. The rioting, looting and incen-
diarism have been checked, and there seems to
be no more fear of bombardment by insurgent
or mutinous warships. Beyond such mitigation
of violence however, there is little to afford
the government comfort. Practically the en-
tire remaining Russian navy has had 10 be dis
mantled, because the men are not TO be trusted.
The ships are to be disabled and put out of
commission for fear their crews will mutiny
and use them against the government The
world has record Of no more humiliating con-
fession Of decentralization and disaffection than
that
Meantime, apprehension of similar disaffection
and mutiny IN the army increases day by day.
Some regiments are known to be untrustworthy
How far the propaganda of treason has ex-
tended is serious question to which no an
swer is forthcoming, is likely 10 be until il
is secured by actual experiment There rises
also, the additional question Of the temper of
the Manchurian army, when ii Is brought back
after the conclusion of peace Credible infor-
nation is to the effect that dissatisfaction with
the government is widespread in its ranks
Even II the army should not act as an organ
ization upon its return, it would be an ominous
thing TO have II disbanded and each soldier be-
come centre of disaffection in his old home
The fall of the war party in the government
we are told is now complete and the Car is
sincerely and resOlutely intent upon peace
That may well be believed. But since that has
no effect upon the revolutionary movement we
must fear that the making of peace abroad will
be ineffective for securing peace at home The
revolution Is not, as was at first assumed, a
mere protest against the war. 1t is a pro-
test against the conditions which led to the
war and those conditions involve the autoc-
racy itself.

NEW-ToRKs NcREAsING COMMERCE.


The fear is occasionally expressed in business
circles here that New-York is losing-or is likely
70 lose in the near future-its pre-eminence as
q gateway of inbound and outbound foreign
trade. The differential system. which diverts
10 Baltimore, Philadelphia and other ports grain
shipments which would naturally seek out
let here is often cited as a menace 10 New
Yorks prosperity and progress. We have
pointed out from time 10 time the injustice Of
this system. which seeks 10 alter normal trade
conditions in the interest Of specially favored
ports Yet we have never believed that New
Yorks status as a point of shipment could be
seriously impaired by the artificial expedients
which have been employed TO stimulate the
carrying trade OF other seabOard cities. New
York has more than held its own in spite Of
hostile differentials; and IL will continue 10 hold
its own as a factor in foreign commerce by
virtue OF natural advantages which rival
American port can hope 10 challenge.
Returns Just made by Collector Stranahan Of
our inbound and outbound commerce for 1eo4'O5
show what little ground there is for the sus-
piclon that our trade is being diverted and our
prosperity undermined. Mr. Stranshan an
aounces that in the fiscal year just ended the
volume Of shipments through this port broke all
previous records Imports OF merchandise
amounted In value 10 $eS4. 1902, gain OF
Ss4 327 eo9 over 10000. Imports OF gold and
silver brought the total value Of inward com
rnerce TO S7o0to54, ,551- In 19o3'04, according TO
some figures recently prepared by the Chamber
OF Commerce, imports reached a total value OF
S030OO0OO0 So there is net gain for l9oz-O5
Of S70.o00oCO. In l903Sos New-YoIk got 50 per
cent OF the entire American import trade. In
