WATCH TRUST INVOLVED
Complaint to Post Office Depart
ment Against Keystone Journal.
1t IL Alleged to he working In the
Interest Of the .'Watch Trust" and
to BE Violating Law.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Complaint has
been filed with Third Assistant POST
master-G General Madden by attorneys
representing the independent watch
manufacturers and watch case makers,
and wholesale dealers headed by the w.
]. Johnson company, of Pittsburg, and
the Deuber-Hampden Watch Co., OF
Canton, O., charging that the Keystone
Journal, alleged to be owned by the
keystone Watch Co., and allied con-
Germs, forming what is claimed to be
the watch trust" is enjoying the priv
ilege Of secOnd-class rates in violation
Of law. The allegations are that the
keystone publication refused to publish
the advertisements of persons not sell
ing the product of the companies form
ing the so-called trust, and that they
have broken advertising contracts with
wholesale dealers when such dealers
were found to be handling and selling
antitrust goods. The compliments
charge that the so-called trust endeav-
ors, by coercive methods, to drive every
dealer to the wall who does not sell It's
goods, and that it appoints special agents
in certain cities and localities to under
sell dealers who have ceased to handle
its products.

A YEARS WORK OF
THE LIFE SAVERS
One of the Most Important Adjuncts
of the Public Service.
MILLIONS OF PROPERTY SAVED
The Loss of Human Life On Our Sea
and Lake Coasts Reduced to a
Minimum BY Their Gallant
Endenvors.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The work of
the life-saving service for the last fiscal
year is summed up in a report of Gen
eral Superintendent Kimball to the sec
rotary of the treasury. The life-saving
crews saved and assisted in saving 464
imperilled vessels and their cargoes,
beside affording assistance of more or
less importance to CIT other vessels.
including craft of all kinds, making a
total of 1,141 vessels to which aid was
furnished. In addition the report
states, SO steamers and So sailing YES
sells, running into danger, were warned
of their peril by the signals of the pa
troll and lookout in time to escape dis
aster. The saving Of many lives and
much property is attributed to such
warnings.
No less than 365 disasters to docu-
mented vessels occurred during the
period stated, involving the lives of A.
OS9 persons, of whom q were lost. The
estimated value of vessels and cargoes
so affected was $10,320,6 $50, of which
s7,917,3 S5 was saved. Sixty-three YES
sells were totally lost. Succor was at
forded at the various stations to 624
persons, to whom an aggregate of 1910
days relief was furnished.
Four hundred and twenty casualties
were sustained by undocumented YES
sells, such as ~sailboats, rowboats, in
volving 955 persons, ten of whom were
lost. The value of property involved
in these casualties is estimated at 1884,
600, of which $25S, 025 was saved. The
report concludes with an earnest APP
peal for pensions to widows and chill
dren of members Of the l~ife-saving
crews losing their lives in the perform
ance Of duty, and for retirement when

THE COERCION OF TURKEY
The Second Step Not Definitely Ar
ranged, the Ower Await
ing the British Proposals.

London, Dec. 1.-While in official cir.
cles it is admitted that the powers do
not expect the sultan to yield as to the
occupation of Mitylene, it is stated that
plans for the next step have not been
definitely arranged, the other powers
awaiting the British proposals.
The foreign Office intimates that this
British government does not know ex-
actly the extent Of the coercion which
the other powers are willing to m
ploy, but it is certain that none of the
powers is willing to resort to actual
warfare in order to enforce the demands
for the financial control Of Macedonia.
The present political situation in the
United Kingdom naturally increases
the. reticence in official circles here, and
as Great Britain is tat1ng a lead, the
movements Of the demonstration fleet
may be delayed for ore time, pending
the decision of the cabinet concerning
its resignation or the dissolution OF
parliament.

BANDITS ROB ILLINOIS BANK
in the Bank mt Browns, H., Sc
cure tho Contents and Escape.

st. Louis, Nov. 29.-Bandits rushed
into the town of Browns, Edwards
county, ILL.,, at LIS a.. m, blew the
safe Of the bank, secured 81, 800 in cur
rency and $4,000 in securities, and es-
capped.
Sheriff Geo. w. Stanley heard the Q
port of the explosion. and started after
the craftsmen, but they fed instantly,
and he could get no trace of them.
They are supposed to have made
tracks for st. Louis, and the sheriff
wired Chief Desmond to look out for
them.
The robbers evidently were expert
"soup" men, for their work was done
rapidly after they blew the safe. The
conclusion aroused the people of the
town, but it was ten minutes before
any one was On the scene or had sus-
pectsd the crime.
1t is believed by the authorities Of
Browns that the men timed their ex-
petition Of crime SO as to be able to
catch the train.

A MUCH NEEDED CORRECTIVE
The Arrival of Cooler Weather Has
Stimulated Hitherto backward
Lines of Business.

New York, Dec. 2.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
While mild weather retarded retail
trade early in the week except in holi-
day supplies, the widespread cold wave
later offered a needed corrective and
stimulus to the only lines hitherto
backward. Weather conditions nov r
likely to bring the long-continued sea-
son for outdoor work to a close, and
especially affect the building trades,
which have had the most active year
in their history. Something like sea-
sonable quiet is reported in many lines
Of wholesale trade, but it is noted that
jobbers and manufacturers are still very
busily engaged on holiday goods, some
lines of which are already reported
oversold, indicating that a record years
business will be garnered.

A SUIT IN EQUITY
FILED IN ST. LOUIS
The st. Louis Terminal Association
Put Upon the Defensive.
ORDER BYJUDGE FINKELNBURG
Must Show Cause Within Thirty
Days Why the Alleged Monopoly
Should Not BE DissOlved-POints
In the Petition and Defense.

st. Louis, Dec. After more than
two months reIaration, assisted by
former Attorn General Edward c.
Grow, Chester H. Krum and Charles
Nagel, United States District Attorney
D. P. Dyer filed a bill in equity in the
United States circuit court to dissolve
the alleged bridge combine, which the
commerce of st. Louis.
Judge Finkelnburg issued an order
Immediately following the filing Of the
bill directing the Terminal association
to appear before the federal tribunal
within 80 days and show cause why the
alleged monopoly should not be dis
solved.
Points in Government Petition.
In the bill filed by United States Dis
trict Attorney Dyer he asks that the
alleged pool Of the two bridges be de-
clared void, and that consequent viola
tions of the Sherman antitrust act.
passed July 2, 1890, be discontinued.
That the IA railroads which are said
to control the Terminal association be
enjoined from voting stock Of the Mer-
chants railway Or the Merchants
bridge or the Virgins Ferry Co., or any
of the railway companies which are
said to be in the Terminal Railway as
ISOLATION.
That all agreements for the operation
of the Merchants and Eads bridges as
~, oo-orD%t~r 1tnn~ hn daaloyn1 vyNi6
and that all Of the railrods connected
with the Terminal association prohibit
the Terminal association or it's stock
holders from holding any Of their stock.
That the dissolution of the two
bridges be effected by a permanent in
junction.
That the Terminal association forfeit
the Merchants bridge to the govern
ment, in accordance with the act OF
congress passed July 2, 1890.
T~ermfnal's Line of Defense.
A Terminal director maintains that
the association is not a combine, but an
independent organization.
That it does not own the Eads bridge
nor the Virgins ferry.
That the charges are less and the
conveniences greater under the present
system than they would be if the asso-
citation we're dissolved.
That, even if the Terminal were a
combine, it could not be called a COM
bine in restraint Of trade, but a COM
bine to the advantage of trade.
That the Terminal syestem affords
St. Louis the best railroad facilities
of any city in the United States.
That separation Of the properties
would be injurious to st. Louis, and
that this affords conclusive proof as to
the beneficial character Of the CONSOLE
dated system.
