NO GREAT DISTURBANCE.

Park Benjamin has told Admiral Evans what he had better do if ne wants to he considered anybody in the navy and anybody by Benjamin He mustn't have a pilot on the flagship when it goes through the Straits of Magellan. There Is not, says Mir Ben jamin, q commanding officer in the navy fit to hold his commission who would not blush with shame at the very suggestion of his inability to car ry his fleet, squadron or ship through a perfectly well-known passage, light cd, traversed constantly by merchant steamers, with a clear channel hun. dreds of fathoms deep for the most part, and with but one danger--Arsor Hrcks-and that thoroughly familiar to all navigators.
 Of course Admiral Evans ought to go through those Straits a-flying as jauntily, and even cockily. as befits a daring leader of the United States navy. But we doubt if tho country takes quite the view of it th&T Mir Benjamin does If Admiral Evans takes his stand proudly on the high forward part of his noble ship, fixes his eagle eye on the West and says GO ahead when you're ready" we don't believe there will he any great disturbance if there is a modest and efficient pilot somewhere around really attending to the gong-ahead part, and attending to 1 it safely

THE DBUCE CASE.

These are not called the days of old romance, or the days of new romarcc but for all that they are romantic, and
 the truth continues to be as strange as fiction Those who have followed the curious story which has been t.ld iu the English courts in the Druce case know that romance is as much alive Gs it ever was. and some of them are rot at all certain vet that Thomas Charles Druce" is really dead, though
 what seemed 10 be his remains were
 found in the coffin which was finally opened day before yesterday in pur- suance of a court order Legal pro- ceedings have been in progress for ter years by George Hollanby Druce, to prove that Herbert Druce, the dead mans son, committed perjury in swearing that his father died in 1884. and further that Thomas C. Druce was in reality the fifth Duke of Portland.

George Hollanby Druce, a nephew and senior descendant, would inherit the dukedom. The testimony which helped most to sustain the claim WAS that the coffin buried in the Druce lot in 1864 contained lead and not human remains.

single line reHTain an existing compe- tition and 1t would seem to make lit- tie difference whether they make such combination more effective by form ing Q partnership or not,
 What benefits may nave come from this combination, or from others com plained of. 1t Is not material to in- quire. nor need subsequent business methods be considered, nor the effects on production or prices"
 The advance of judicial interpreta- ton of the Sherman act was also dealt with by Judge Moves, who concurred with Judge Lacombe In the tobacco decision. Speaking of the momentous character of present trust litigation, Judge Moves said; Tt Is of much lm- portance to many people at the pres ent time whether the defendants have entered into an unlawful combination. It. Is of the most momentous import ance to all the people for all time whether the national government has power to reach industrial comblna- tions dealing across state lines. Con cede that the present statute goes too far Concede even that no enactments are now necessary, Yet all must agree that conditions may arise n the future requiring legislative action feotive. Congress alone could take such action and if thls case shall fn- ally establish that the power exists In congress to tako It. then, regardless of all other results, it is a good thing for the future of this country that these proceedings were Instituted"
 As Co the general character Of com blnatons coming within the law Judge Moves says further:
 The construction of the statute confines the duty of this court with in very narrow limits We have only to inquire whether the evidence shows the combination restricting compeu- ton, There is no necessity for going further Other inquiries are immater-
 al. The combination may not reduce the prices paid to the growers of raw | materials; may not increase the prices charged to consumers, may not seek Co exclude all others from the field; may be free from coercion or oppres- sion-and yet if 1t restrict competition If 1t restrain trade reasonably or un- reasonably falls within the statute. The statute declares unlawful every combination fin restraint of trade. It contains no words Of limitation or qualification and the supreme court of the United States has decided that the courts have no rights to attach them to it."
 The appeal of the tobacco case 10 the Uniter States supreme court is ex- pected to give the highest judicial tri- bunal further opportunity to pass up- on the far-reachinE application of the antitrust law Announcement of the proposed appeal has been made, and the appeal will be officially taken as soon as the decree is formally enter cd. An early decision in the higher court Is anticipated because of tho l provision of the federal law adyanc- ing appeals in such cases,
