TO REPUBLICANS

As Soon As Democratic Primary Is
Out of Way Sentiment VIII
BE Observed.
STRONG TICKET is CERTAIN

With the Democratic city primary
only one week away, attention is
swerving slightly toward the Repub-
lican camp, where some murmurings
and whispers denote a stir among
the faithful. Announcement of the
successful candidates before at the
Democratic primary will be the sig
nal for Republican activity. A num-
Der of names are mentioned in con-
Inection with various offices, but no
decided drift has been noted, as
everyone seems to be holding his
opinion in allegiance pending the re-
lsult of the Democratic struggle.
A convention the latter part of
MAY seems to be the general choice.
1t is clear from the tone of the party
workers that they are agreed on at
least two points: there is an excel
lent chance to win, and in order to
realize the full advantage of that
chance the strongest ticket ever nom
mated will have to be put forth. The
feeling is accumulated by the mani
fest lethargy among Democrats and
the lack of decision between the can
didates before the primary.
Indications are that the candidates
from mayor down will be sound safe.
conservative men with no fads and
lfollies, but men who will appeal to
the good judgment of all citizens.
Primary Preparations.
Chairman w. A. Berry, of the city
Democratic executive committee, has

lots and other paraphernalia used in
the primary May 2. The bids are to
be in by tomorrow, allowing only

ness Asked For.

Wilmington, De-. - The United
States government Tuesday began
suit against the so-called powder
trust in the United States circuit court
here. The government asks that the
Dupont company of Delaware be re-
strained from exercising control over
subsidiary companies. The papers In
the case were filed by Assistant Attor-
ney General Purdy at noon. Subpoenas
were Issued returnable the first Mon
day in September.
The petition was filed against E. l.
,lIiPoint de Nemours & Company, the
Il. /. DUPONT de Nemours Powder com.
pany (of New Jersey, and "a other
corporations and II individuals con.
nected with the 26 corporations which
are made defendants in the petition.
Antitrust Law Violated.
The petition relates that all OF the
defendants are engaged In interstate
trade and commerce in gun powder
and high explosives and are violating
the act of July 2, 1890, commonly
known as the Sherman antitrust act.
It seeks to prevent and restrain the
unlawful existing agreements, con-
tracts, combinations and conspiracies
In restraint of such trade and COM
merce, to prevent and restrain the at.
tempts on the part OF the defendants
10 monopolize such trade and com.
merce, and to dissolve the existing
monopolies therein.
The court is asked to determine
whether public interests will be better,
subserved by the appointment of re.
ceivers to take possession of the prop
srty of the alleged trust with q view
70 hr'nGlDs about Conditions in trade
and commerce that will be in harmony
with the law. The prayer in this re-
spect Is identical with that in the so.
called tobacco trust petition.

have complete monopoly of the pro-
duction and distribution of smokeless
ordnance powder in addition to the
monopoly of IS per cent Of the pro
duction and distribution of high explo.
sives other than smolleless powder.
The government asks, in its prayer
for relief, that these operating com
panies be enjoined and restrained from
operating and engaging in Interstate
commerce in the United States or that
receivers be appointed to take over
their business.
The government asks also that con.
troll OF certain capital stocks in othe,
companies by the various holding com
panies shall be adjudged unlawful and
void and that the defendants shall be
restrained from carrying Oh alleged
unfair competition against 26 indie
pendent firms which at the time Of the
filing of the petition were engaged in
The manufacture, shipment and sale OF
blasting powder and dynamite in the
United States in lawful competition
with the defendants.
