OF January, and it begins to look like

juster Of a company carrying large

that the Mississippi losses sustained
by the various companies since the

100000. During the past few days
good-sized fires have been reported
from Coahoma, Greenville, West Point
Vicksburg and number Of lesser
places. The annual report of nearly
every fire insurance company received
at the Office Of Commissioner Cole

losses on Mississippi business, and
some Of the companies were hit unus-
ually hard during the year.

THE SUGAR TESTS.
Suits Filed Against the Collector Of

New York.-A new move was made
by sugar companies that for years
have been contemplating to do away
with the system of sugar tests which
has been in vogue since 1897, when pa
pers in sixty-fve separate suits, in
volving millions of dollars paid in
sugar duties. were filed against Col
lector Stranahan of this port. These
suits involve every Importation of
sugar through this port since 1897.
The attempt Of the sugar companies
10 do away with the system Of tests
has been fought before the United
States courts up to the Court of APP
oeals. It has been decided steadily in
favor of the Government. The new
suits are. brought on the ground that
he Secretary Of the Treasury is max
ng his rules contrary to law and acted
1nconstitutionally in adding the ele-
nent of estimate or computation of

PACKERS LOSE
IN TRUST CASE
THE GOVERNMENT WINS CASE
AGAINST BEEF TRUST.
OPINION WAS UNANIMOUS
Injunction Granted Against Packers
Under Sherman Antitrust Law
Government Has Right to Break
to Break Up Combinations.

Washington. -The supreme court
OF the United States granted the petit
ton for writ Of certiorari in the case
Of E. HI. Hartman and others against
the Northern Securities Company,
growing out of the former decision
OF the court relative to the distribu-
ton of the stock of the Securities
Company. The effect of granting the
writ is to bring the case to the SUI
preme court for review.
Summarizing the bill Justice Holmes
said: cit charges combination of a
dominant proposition of the dealers
in fresh meat throughout the United
States not to bid against each other in
the live stock markets of the different
states; to bid up prices for few days
in order to induce the cattlemen to
send their stock to the stock yards, to
maintain prices at which they will
sell and to that end to restrict ship
ments Of meat when necessary; to
establish q uniform rate of credit to
dealers and keep black list, to make
uniform and improper charges for
carriage and finally to get less than
lawful rates from the railroads to
the exclusion of competitors.
In speaking of the decision of tie
supreme court in the so-called beef
trust case, Attorney-General Moody
said: 81 was present in court when
= synopsis of the decision was stated
orally by Mr. Justice Holmes. There
is no improperly in my saying that,
as [ understood that statement, the
opinion sustains in all respects the
contentious of the government and
affirms the decree of the court below
in all substantial particulars. The
case decides that the traffic in live
stock transported from the state or
territory of its origin to another state
Or territory and held there for sale
interstate commerce and that those en-
gagged in buying and selling such live
stock are engaged in interstate COM
merce. This question has been be-
fore the court twice before, but was
left undecided because the case in
which it was presented turned upon
other considerations
=" | can only hope that when the law
shall have been declared these de-
PENDANTS will observe it in spirit as
we'll as in letter. All men have an
interest in the supremacy of the law,
none so great an interest as those who
ike the defendants, own great prop
critics and control great interests;
they should inoculate by precept and
example should cling to, as to
The rock of salvation, respect for and
obediance to the law Of the land.'

Continuing Reports.
The most vital subject to be dis
cussed at the convention Of cotton
ginners to be held in Jackson on the Sd
of February will be the matter Of con-
tinuing reports to the government CEN
sus burea on cotton ginned, as request
ed by the bureau at stated intervals.
During the past month quite number
of ginners in Mississippi have refused
to furnish the government with re-
ports of the cotton handled at their
gins, and the reports for the period
from Dec. 10Th to Jan. 10th, which
will be issued within few days by the
bureau, will not be complete so far
as Mississippi is concerned, owing to
the fact that so many reports have
been refused. A rather strong senti-
ment is developing among the ginners
in favor of refusing all reports re-
quested by the census bureau, and
resolution to this effect will doubtless
be introduced at the convention on the
Bird Of February. If this action is tax
en- it will be very difficult matter to
secure accurate statistics in Mississippi
pi unless the ginners establish bu-
reau for this purpose, as the state has
no such officer as commissioner of
agriculture. The adoption Of the stand
ard size gin box, which has been urged
oy the Mississippi Compress Associa-
lion for several years, will also be dis
cussed by the convention.
