During the night the wind decreased in
force and with daylight the Carmsnia

circuitous channel.
That the maiden voyage of the big tur-

expressed opinion OF many of the passen-
gers. Despite the severe weather a fairly
even speed was maintained throughout the
voyage. The days runs were: %, 4d3, 3l7,

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES
Letter from Rev. Henry n. Noyes
Says Murder Is Due to Anti
Foreign Feeling.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Presbyterian
Board Of Missions today received a letter
from Rev. Henry B. Noyes, n. d, senior
member OF the Presbyterian mission at
Canton, China, describing events leading
up to the recent killing OF missionaries AZ
LienChau.
The letter says in part:
Machle iuterfered with an idol procession
and took away an idol from the procession
and thus brought on the trouble. The
charge is absolutely false. There was no
idol procession.
DR.. Noyes says that the Chinese put
their sheds for "idolatrous festivals" on
the mission ground, and that DR.. Machle
called the attention of the authorities to
this and asked that the sheds be put on
temple lands This was agreed to by the
village elders. The letter says:
We know that the gentry not very long
since sent to the boycott organization in
Canton, asking that agitators and boycott
literature be sent to IIenchau. There -
not yet any evidence to show that the boy

UPHoLDS TOBACCO MONOPOLY
New York supreme COurt RuIeH that
Company Has Right to Refuse TO
Sell 20 Small Retailers.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE right of the
American Tobacco company to refuse to
sell to small retailers If it chose to so do
was sustained by decision rendered to-
day by Justice Marean in the supreme court
In Brooklyn. Il. Locker & Co. retailers,
had brought a suit against the company
demanding 100000 for damages. which they
alleged had resulted from the American
Tobacco company's refusal to do business
with them
Ex-Judge Cohen of counsel for the de-
fense asserted the right of the American
Tobacco company to control the supply
Of tobacco and then turn over the supply
TO a sales agent.
The trouble with the plaintiffs" said
Judge Cohen, 'is that the tobacco COM
pany is a business and not court of
equity, and 1t may become necessary IN
business to kill your compettor-financially
/ nean. That Is competition. II is bust
ness and the business part of II. but there
is no cause of action that follows because
refuse to sell to a man because ] do not
like him, or believe him dishonest or do
even like the color of his hair"
After hearing arguments Justice Marean
ordered the suit dismissed.

BALLOT BOX CASE is ARGUED
Attorneys for Hearst and Mcclellan
Appear Bessre New York state
CoUrt ot Appeals.

ALBANY. y. Y, Dec. 1t--Arsument was
begun In the court Of appeals in tie So
called New York ballot box case. There
was a very larget attendance of lawyers
and spectators. TIE contest represents the
contention of William Randolph Hearsts,
John Ford and j. @. Phelps Stokes, mu-
nicipal ownership candidates, that at the
election Of November they were right
fully elected, respectively, to the Offices of
mayor comptroller and president " the
Board Of Aldermen of Greater New York
and that this will be shown by u recount
Of the votes.
1t is believed that a decision will be rem
dered this week. because of the importance
of prompt settlement Of the controversy
50 that the rightfully elected mayor may
be inaugurated January 1. >All seven
judges sat on the case.
Three main propositions were made by
the appellants in opposition to Mr.. Hearst's
contention that a recount ana recanvass
should be ordered:
First-That the election law fails to AL
thorize the courts to issue common law
writ of mandamus cOmpelltnE a board OF
election inspectors to recount and rGCan-
yaSs the vote after having submitted
Second-That such course would be
against public policy because of the posst-
q 0nlaNS,
| litigation in deciding elections.
Third-That the respondents already have
sufficient remedy aVallablp in the form
Gf quo warranto proceedings TO test tho
title Of officers in contested positions.
The contention OF the Hearst attorneys
was that the ascertsinnlent of the peoples
will in an election was more import nt
than speed and that the evils predicted by
the appellants werei largely imaginary,
! They also held that an election law did
not specifically call for a recount when
/ the count already made was shown to be
/ incorrect.
! An opinion written by Judge Parker him
! self when chief Judge Of this court in an
= Ulster county election case involving the
Office of supervisor. in which a recount
of ballots was ordered. was used by the
attorneys for Mr.. Hearst in behalf of their
! contention. Judge Parker. in reply. argued
that this decision should not bind the
court, since the points at issue were not
entirely the same in the two cases.
Ex-Governor Black, for tho Hearst side
! took the ground that, as the duty of the
/ inspectors TO recount was statutory. a wTi
of mandamus is the proper remedy Il
compel compliance. The aim Of the elec
ton law, he said. is TO place election ofn
GERS under the direct control Of the courts
and to compel them to correct mistakes
1t must bn presumed that the Legislature
in framing the election law Intended tina
the elections should be pure and regular
and that the courts should be charged will

The bill creates in the Department of
Commerce and Labor the offices of "su-
perintendent of Insurance" and "natio aai
actuary."
These officers are to frame regulations
for annual reports from life insurance COM
panes doing business in the territory speci-
fed. Such reports are to contain an
itemized statement of all assets and lia-
bilities. amount and character OF all bust
ness TRANSACTIONS and number and charac-
ter OF policies outstanding, the names and
salaries OF officers, itemized statements of
receipts and expenditures with full in
formation and names of all parties recelv-
ing payments.

surance companies is given. Such COM
panies are also restricted to the character
of their investments.
