People Of Toxic Do Honor to

and Navy.
Toxic, Oct. 23.-The reception to
the officers and men of the American
battleship fleet reached climax here.
A spontaneous outburst of enthusi-
asm, in which $4,000 Of the populace
participated, crowned the unbroken
series OF luncheons, dinners, balls. and
garden parties that have marked the
FIVE days since the warships anchored
In Yokohama harbor. The people of
Toxic did honor to their American
visitors in a demonstration that
eclipsed any in the history of the
city, not even excepting the celebra-
tions that have followed the most sig
nal successes of the Japanese army or
navy.
A torchlight procession, arranged as
a surprise, was the concluding feature
Of the day. For nearly six hours the
principal streets were packed with
the paraders, who numbered upwards
of $4,000 and who found their way
through the city like crooked river
of running fire. Every one in the vast
multitude carried lantern and in ad-
dition Japanese and American flags.
At intervals there we're huge illu-
minated designs of costly and striking
Oriental design Included in the line
were dozens of bands Of music, large
ard small, and corps of buglers
from the Japanese army and naval
stations.
From the eminence and other points
commanding view of the city the
scene was striking one. Everywhere
the Americans were cheered and no
where was the enthusiasm aroused to
a wilder or madder pitch than when
the great procession reached the
American embassy. For over an hour
the pageant wound through the
grounds, cheering the admirals of the
American feet and calling by name
for Ambassador O'Brien, who, as 1t
Glanced was in attendance at the
dinner of Count Komura. After the
demonstration had extended over a
considerable period Mrs O'Brien ap-
peared and was received with evi-
dences of the greatest popularity.
The bands united in playing the
American national hymn again and
the buglers saluted.
After the entire procession had
passed through the grounds the bands
disappeared.

Terre Haute and open the fight
against the Indiana company. There
he met the chief officers of that COM
pany.
II told them that they had reduced
the sales of our companies $4,000 to
10000 kegs of powder in the territory
they occupied" said he, "and that we
could not stand for that, but would
fight to regain the trade. / proposed
that the Indiana company be reorgan-
lied with 100000 capital, of which
the Hazard Powder company should
take 81 per cent and the other stock
holders 40 per cent But they refused
to enter into any agreement with the
pool. They said that they thought
they had a perfect right to manufac-
ture powder for their mines, that they
wanted to be friendly with us and
hoped there would not be any fight.
told them that we would put up
mills near them and begin the fight
by underselling them to their own
miners"
More Underhand Methods.
Mr.. Waddell then told of the organ.
ization of the Great Northern Supply
company, to sell not only powder but
shovels, picks and supplies. and to the
employment of two men named Ram
sey and Raccus to go among the min
ers to stir up dissensions between the
miners association and the operators
association. These men made speeches
at the miners meetings. he said.
The fight lasted until January, 1902,
when the Indiana company went un-
der and sold out to the pool.
The Southern Powder company was
organized in Birmingham, Ala, and
its business was restricted to Birming-
ham and vicinity.
I'VE fixed it SO they could not get
OUT" said Waddell.
"How did you fix it?"
"Well, we got freight rates sys-
tematized on all the railroads out of
Birmingham. We fixed these rates so
that powder would never net more
than 10 cents keg, very close to or
less than the cost, and then awaited
developments"
"How long did you have to wait?''
asked Mr.. Scarlet.
"It was perhaps year before they
died." replied the witness.
He said the total sales of powder OF
the pool in 1892 was 100000 kegs
while the independents sold less than
200, 1000 kegs.

New York, Oct. 23.-Methods al
legged to have been employed by the so
called powder trust to gain control of
the powder trade In the United States
were described by r. 8. Waddell, for
mer general sales agent in the United
States for the big powder company,
at the days session of the hearing in
the governments suit against the COM
pany for alleged violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. He had declared
that the defendant company now con-
trolls between 95 and SO per cent of
the trade in gunpowder and 80 per
cent of the trade in blasting powder.
He told of the formation of the South
ern Powder company, which was or
ganized in Cincinnati. with mills in
Georgia, in 1896, and absorbed by the
big company few months later. 1--WE
went right after the Southern as soon
as they entered the market" said Mr..
Waddell THE fight continued until
the general round up in July, 1896"
what do you mean by the general
round up2" he was asked.
II mean the complete elimination of
competition by absorbing the COM
petitors,' replied the witness.
Mr. Waddell said he had been in
formed by the officers of the company
that there was an agreement with for
eign manufacturers on sales of dyna-
mite. This information was given
him, he said, after foreign mills had
been erected in jamestown and was
known as the Jamestown agree
ment."
international Agreement.
Il was told that one of our officers
had been to Europe and that there
after we would have no further trou-
ble," said he. This, he said, was when
thetr was some disturbance In the
market over the cutting Of prices on
sinoke!ess powder. He said new
agreement was drawn by members OF
the pool after practically all the COM
petitors had been absorbebd. When a
paper identified by Waddell as copy
Of the agreement was presented coun.
sci for the defense objected to its
acceptance by the court.
Continuing his description Of meth

absorb or crush competitors Waddell
told OF fights which were made By his
company against the Indiana Powder

which was formed In 1897, had Ohio.

ACCIDENT
TEAM GOES THRO'
DEATH TRAP.

AS result of the Ilggy parting
last night, team belonging to the
Low stables took fright on South
Commercial street and ran through
the South Commercial street bridge,
cutting and bruising them up consid-
erably.
A man by the name of Meyers was
driving the team at the time, and
was descending the hill about two
blocks from the bridge, when in some
unknown manner, the reach which
holds the running gears of the rig
together, came loose, letting the back
portion of the buggy faJ to the
ground with the occupants in II.
The team, which are very gentle or
dinarily, became frightened at the
sudden falling of the parted rig, and
ran down the street on the east side
and coming to the guard for keeping
teams off this portion of bridge,
managed to get over II and fell into
the large holes where plank has been
removed. They did not go
completely through the bridge, but
hung up on the joice from which
place several people who arrived
shorty, removed them after consider
able labor.
The lady and her daughter who
were in the rig we're thrown out in
the mud but not badly hurt. This is
the second team to go through that
bridge.

YOUNG MAN
ASSAULTED
BY ROBBERS

Frank Guild, a young man who
has quarters on the second floor OF
the Barnes Cash Store, was assaulted
by two unknown men Sunday morn
ing about 2 o'clock who afterward
made good their escape from the pO-
lice.
Guild was not aware of the in
truders until he first opened his eyes
and then he was given no opportun-
ity of acting further in his own de-
fense, as a vicious blow upon the
forehead by what he supposed to be
a slug shot, stunned him. After he
came too, he at once notified MI
Barnes and together they returned
to the store where the night officers
we're searching for the burglars, but
no sign of them could be found by
the officers in the store. AS far as
can be learned nothing has been
missed from the store, and IL is sup
posed that the holdups became
frightened after committing their
cowardly deed upon young Guild
and fed without finishing their in
tended robbery.
The police are under the impress

in hiding when the establishment
was closed for the night, and when
all was quiet, began their work.
A long piece of iron used on
freight cars for the purpose of hold
ing brake blocks in place. was found
in the bed where Guild was attacked
but from the slight presence of
blood upon It, IL could not be prob
able that the dangerous looking piece
of steel was used on the victim as
the means to knock him senseless.
AS yet the police have no clew
