IMPORTANT TRUST DECISION.

The decision of Judge Seaman, of
the United States Circuit court. sitting
in Milwaukee, which was rendered last
Saturday in the case Of, 4 the govern
ment VS.. the General Paper Company
takes. aal ste1 IN fhie stilrse-
ton Of trust cesntfoI BY law. The" slit
was brought to determine whether or
not the Paper Company was com
bination in restraint of trade, and the
decision decided the point as TO wheth-
or or not the government could require
the production of papers. contracts,
etc. of the trust in favor of the plain
tiff.
The production of the documents
was strongly resisted by the defense
on the ground that they were confiden-
tial communications to the officers of
the trust and on the constitutional
ground that no man shall be compelled
to give evidence against himself in
any criminal relation.
The fact that the witnesses were
officers of the corporation and derived
their knowledge of its operations in
that capacity was held by the judge
not to bring them within the constitu-
tional inhibition above referred TO, and
it was broadly decided that the duty
to testify arose under the common law
and the general statutes.
The decision. which will now be
passed on by the Supreme court is one
of vital importance to the usefulness
of antitrust laws since, If the conten-
tions of the defendant hold, there will
be practically no way by which the ex-
istence of a trust running in violation
of law could be aScertained.

JAPANESE THREATS

Diplomats.

St Petersburg. May 9-The japanese

authorities continue to maintain that
Admiral RojeStyensky has not over
stepped the limits of neutrality. In
view of the excited state of the Japan
csc over the possibility of the fruits of
their previous land and sea victories
being swept away, Japan's protests are
considered quite natural, but her mi
nority attitude toward chivalrous
country like France is regarded as q
blunder. While Great Britain is ex-
pected to support her ally and secure
fair play should Japan press France
too far. Great Britain, it is said, can be
counted on to use all her influence to
calm the statesmen at Toxic.
The interests Of Japan could not be
served according to the opinion here
by an extension of hostilities unless
Admiral Togo Is beaten. in which case
1T is not doubted that Japan will use
the pretext of French violation of neu-
trality to demand the fuinllment Of
Great Britain's obligations as her ally
