United States circuit court.

United States circuit court.
The suit had been in progress for
many months and great volumes OF
testimony were taken both by the
government and on behalf of the de-
fendant companies. In the course of
these examinations it developed that
the American Tobacco company and
it's subsidiaries practically controlled
the tobacco trade of the world. This
control, so far as foreign markets is
concerned, was shown to have been OF
omparatiyely recent origin, however,
and came about through the forma-
tion of a working agreement with a
great British corporation which previ-
pusly had controlled the production
and consumption not only in Europe
but in Asia as well.
The American Tobacco company
was formed under the laws of New
Jersey in 1904, when the old Amer
ican Tobacco company, the Console
dated company and the Continental
Tobacco company were merged under
a single head.

in Casa Blanca Affair.

Paris, Nov Germany. It was
learned here, at first refused to &C.
cept the formula proposed by France
for settlement of the Casa Blanca
incident, proposing at the same time
certain notifications therein. These
were rejected by France in her turn,

Herr Won Schoen, the German for
eign secretary, informed Ambassador
Cambon that the French formula was
satisfactory provided clause was
added in which France expressed her
regret for the violence committed on
the person of the German consular at
tache, Germany at the same time to
express regret that the German consul
had exceeded his powers in offering
protection to deserters from the for
eign legion of the French army who
were not German subjects. Ambassa
dor Camhnn politely but firmly de
clined to transmit such proposition
tc Paris, explaining that his instruc
tions did not permit him to receive
any proposition involving censure o.
the French action Herr Won SchoeT
thereupoE agreed again to examine
the French formula. The final re
sponsc from Germany is not expected

AMBASSADOR
FROM GERMANY
Kaiser Selects Count Johann
Won BernStOrff.
IS NOW AT CAIRO, EGYPT

New Representative at Washington
Has Had Considerable Diplomatic
Experience in Minor Positions and
Attracted His Governments Atten-
tion While Counselor Of the Ger
man Embassy in London.
Berlin, Nov. 9.-Count Johann Helm
rich Won Bernstorff, who recently has
represented the German government
in Egypt, has been selected by EN-
peror William to succeed the late
Baron Speck Won Sternburg as ambas-
sador to America. Countess Won
Bernstorff is a daughter of Edward
Luckemeyer of New York. The ap-
pointment has not yet been made for
mally, but it is understood that an Off
cial announcement will be given out
within two or three days.
Count Won Bernstorff was assigned
lately to Egypt. He was first diplo,
matte agent and consul general at
Cairo, but was raised to the rank OF
minister plenipotentiary early in 1908
He is the fourth son of Count AL
brecht Won Bernstorff, who was dis
tinguished contemporary of Bismarck
end he was born in London in 1867
while his father was German ambassa
dor to the court of st. James.
The new ambassador began his dip
lomatic career in 1899, when he wa:
made attache at Constantinople. From
Turkey he was transferred to the for
eign office in Berlin, after which he
advanced from one grade to another
serving in Belgrade, Dresden, st. Pc
tersburg and Munich. He was coun
selor of the embassy and first secre
tary in London in 1902. While in Eng
land the count came especially undel
the notice of Emperor William as {
| result of his work in ameliorating th'
| existing i'll feeling against Germany
He drew up series of lucid and CON
prehensive dispatches on the situa
tion. After four years service in Lon
| don he was sent to Cairo. In the Ger
man diplomatic service this post i
regarded as a stepping stone toward
advancement.
| The count married Miss Jenni
Luckemeyer in 1887. His wife wa
born Dec. 49, 1857, and the coupl'
| nave two children. The Luckemeye
family left New York several year
ago and settled In France, where tn
countess father died this year.
1t is not probable that the new am
bassador will be able to arrange hi
affairs at Cairo to arrive at Washing
ton before the end of the year.

Appeal.
New York, Nov. 9-The govern
ment's attempt to bring about dis
solution of the American Tobacco
company, the giant corporation which
practically controls the tobacco trade
of the world outside of Great Britain,
has made substantial progress After
long consideration of the great volume
months since the suit was instituted
four judges in the United States cir
cult court handed down decisions
holding that the company is operated
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law and in restraint of trade. The
court found, however, that the gov
ernment's request for the appoint
ment of a receiver was impractical
and wholly unnecessary and at the
same time the four Judges agree that
the application for an injunction
against the various subsidiary com
panies should be suspended until after

In addition to the American Tobacco

nine other small corporations. The
suit was filed July 10, 1907, and asked

was alleged that the Imperial Tobacco
company, which controls the tobacco
trade of Great Britain, fought the ef-
forts of the American Tobacco COM
pany to sell it's goods in that country
ard that as result the Imperial and
American companies organized the
British-American Tobacco company to
control the trade outside Of Great
