TRIAL FOR LIFE
Of OIL TRUST
BEGUN TODAY
Leading Government At
torneys Commence Wig
orouS Fight Against
Standard.

ST PAUL. Mimi, May 2L-The great
battle for the dissolution Of the oil
trust was begun here in earnest today.
The Governments leading trust bust
ers" confronted eminent counsel, re-
tained by the Standard. before a full
bench Of circuit judges OF the eighth
circuit
The question being fought out is
whether the Government. In the bill
which II has filed for dissolution Of the
trust, must confne its allegations Of
wrongdoing 70 the period following
1893. This has come to the court on de-
murrer.
Contention of Defense.
Judge Johnson, of Philadelphia, and
Judge Milburn, Of New York. in their
arguments today, on behalf Of the
Standard, declared that although the
Government might manifest deep con-
Germ in its affairs. the recital Of its hts
tory could be nothing more than spec
tacular prejudice because the present
concern was not organized until 1899,
and the acts complained of were not
made illegal until July, 1890. when the
antitrust law was passed.
The counsel also asked the court to
strike from the Governments bill the
obnoxious term trusts" They held
that the Government was aiming to
assume what had not been proved-that
the Standard oil Company was trust.
Federal Attorneys Firm.
Milton B. Purdy. assistant to the At
torney General at Washington, and F.
Z. Kellogg, and A. b. Morrison. who

any change in the Governments bill,
which was fled last year at St Louis.
They will insist that the operations OF
the trust since fits organization, in 1870,
are not only material but necessary to
establish early the conspiracy in re-
straint OF trade which its promoters
and managers skillfully sought TO con-
ceal by reincorpOration under New Jer-
sey laws after its Ohio charter had been

B0NAPARTES DYING OUT.
Only Ten Members of the Emperor's
Family Row Survive

Since the Prince Christina died il
Rome few weeks ago there remain
only ten persons who can call themselves
Bonapartes, and two Of them, the En-
press Eugene and the Princess Clotide
are Bonapartes only by marriage.
The Princess Christina was also re.
lated by marriage only. She was the
sister of Prince Francesca Ruspoli
chamberlain to the Pope. But her hus.
band. who died in 1899, was Il Bonaparte
twice over.
He was Prince Napoleon Charles
Bonaparte; his father was grandson
of Lucien, brother of the great Emperor
and his mother was the Princess Zen
aide, granddaughter of Joseph Bona
parte, whom Napoleon /. made King of
Naples and later King of Spain.
All the surviving Bonapartes, except
the dethroned Empress, descend from
two branches. First there are the pos
terity of the Lucien, who never accepted
IA crown from his brother and married
non-regal persons. e entity bis own in
Napoleon |. never permitted his de-
scendants to call themselves imperial
highnesses; they were mere highnesses.
lie left several children, and there re-
main several of his line today.
Prince Roland Bonaparte, who is dis
ungulShed for his scientific studies and
who married the daughter of Blanc, the
Monte Carlo concessionaire, has bnly one
the richest heiress i'm France.
His sister, Princess Jeanne Bonaparte.
wife of the Marquise de Villeneuve, is
also alive.
They have two cousins, the daughters
of the Princess Christina and Prince Ma
poleon Charles. One was married in
1891 to an Italian lieutenant OF infantry.
Curico G0tti; the other married the
Prince de la Moskowa, great grandson
Of Marshal Ney, from whom she is di
vorced. Both sisters are childess.
The only prospect of the perpetuatiou
of Lucien's branch, therefore, even in
the female line, appears to be through
the daughter of Prince Roland.
OF the Bonapartes of imperial preten
sions all descend from jerome, once king
of Westphalia. First there is the Prin-
cess ClOtilda. who was princess of
Savoy and only Bonaparte by mar
riage,
She was the wife of Prince Napoleou
Joseph, youngest child of Jerome and
Princess Catherine of Wurtemburp
There are three children of Napoleon
aud Clotilda. They are.Prince Napoleon
Victor, who is 40 and bachelor: Prince
Louis Napoleon. who is 43 and unmar
ried. and the Princess Letitia. the child
less widow of the Duke of Aosta.
In few years more the only person to
whom the Bonapartist adhcrents in
France will be able to turn as transmit
ting any of the blood of the Napoleons
may he the grandchild of the Monte
Carlo gambler.

Prof. Leduc of the Medical College of
Nantes is said to have perfected a meth
cd of anaesthetization by means of a
mild current of electricity during the CON
-inuance of whose flow through the body
the nerves are immune to pain. 1t is
said that anaesthetization by this means
is accompanied by none of the dangers of
chloroform or ether when used for the
same purpose. If this report be true,
Prof. Leduc's name will have a perma-
nent place in medical history, and a
electricity will gain fresh value as an
agent of comfort
