NEW STANDARD SUIT.
FINES MAY BE $50, 900, 900.
BelieUed That Judge Lands WaH
Hear Second Chicago Case.
rBv Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Chicago, Jan 15.-Arrned with instructions
and supplied with data against the Standard OH
Company from which he will demand $4,000
900 more in fines. United States District Attor-
ney Sims returned from Washington to-day TO
prosecute the remaining indictments for alleged
rebating on the Chicago & Alton and the chi
cago & Eastern Illinois railroads.
Mr. Sims announced that he would try the
four thousand remaining counts against the oil
company they are reached on the
court docket. beginning early next week. Ihe
company is liable TO a fine of S20.OOO on eacn
Of the counts. No effort will be made to call
any of the cases until John S. Miller. who is at
the Walsh trial. is liberty. This will be next
week
It is believed that Judge Lands will hear the
case although in view of his S2924oooo hne
the defence may ask change of venue on the
new trial
The Standard expects to make its strongest
defence in connection with the so-called Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois rate. 1t alleges that
while shipments Of oil were being made at
cents over the Chicago & Alton there existed
over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad
rate of 81. cents from Whiting TO East ST Louis
The Standard contends that this latter rate was
the legal rate.
The government on the other hand. holos that
the Chicago &, Eastern Illinois rate was quite
as secret as the Alton rate, and was merely one
more instance of the ingenious and deliberate
attempt of the Standard to evade and violate
the whole spirit of the anti-discriminatlon law
The government further alleges that IN snip
rents over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois every
way bill for such shipments was disguised oy
being blind bied"-tTat is no rate at all was
entered in the waybiII until the. said Wayoil
reached the general offices of the railroad. Inls
scheme as well as that of false billing II Is al
legged entirely concealed the rate.
Mr. Sims said to-day that no contrary motions
will be filed by the government against the
petitiOn for certifiCation Of certain questions
to the Supreme Court of the United states
which attorneys for the Standard Oil Company
recently sent in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. This means that final de-
cision in the appeal from the S29,24O,oo hne
probably will be hastened.
that their contention that the Elkns law was
repealed by the passage of the Hepburn act
he certified to the Supreme Court at once. so
that it may be adjudicated in connection with
a case involving the point, in which the
Great Northern Railroad Company is Interested
If the contention Is upheld the decision would
onerste to invalidate not only the indictments
upon which the big fine was based. but also the
other indictments upon which further prosecu-
ton Is be brought.

YS4YES "STRAD" STOLEN.
VioIiuist Mourns the Loss of Talu-
able Instrument.

Through letter received in this city from
Nine Ysaye the wife Of the Belgian -violinist,
il was learned that Ysaye was mourning the
loss of a fine old Stradivarius violin, valued at
$4,000. which was stolen from him while he
was playing in St. Petersburg on a concert tour
recently
The violinist uses two violins one of them the
Stradivarius and the other Guarnerius. He
carried them both in one large double case
which he hardly trusted out Of his sight, so val
able were the contents to him.
When the "Strad' was stolen ne was using
the Guarnerius. When he went to the centre Of
the stage he left the case at one side. where
some one must have observed it. Ysaye went
off the stage find that the treasured violin
left unmatched had been stolen.
The violinist heartbroken. The police
were c-led into the case. but so far their ef-
forts 10 find the thief have been unsuccessful.
II is supposed that there some one pres

and stole il, expecting to dispose Of II 10 some

DIAMOND HINES HIT.
The Premier PostponeS q DiUidend
of $500, 900.

Johannesburg Jan. 15.-The depression in the
diamond markets of the world resulting from
the recent financial crisis in America and the
money stringency in Europe has assumed Sc
rious proportions, according 10 a statement is
sued to-day by the Premier Diamond Mining
Company to its shareholders. 1t sets forth that
the diamond markets have been upset and that
the depression which began in Europe months
ago has reached such proportions that in order
to protect and strengthen the position Of the
Premier mine it has become imperatively neces-
sary TO conserve and increase the resources in
order to be able to meet any possible future diff
fculty
With this end in view. the directors. after con-
sultation with the government, decided TO post
pone the pa y1nent of a dividend of SSO0OOO
which was announced last December. and the
government. on its part, agreed to allow the
company to retain the governments share of
the profits for the last financial year. amount
ing to 81, 10000
The company thus has been placed in posi-
tion not only to carry its own operations
but may now avoid forcing diamonds an
unwilling market
AS an outcome of the depression in the diamond
industry negotiations have been opened between
the two great producing companies the De Beers
and the Premier Diamond Mining Company, with a
view TO limiting the output while diamonds remain
practically unstable. AS yet no decision has been
reached but it is expected that such an arrange
roent will be made.
