PRICES TO BE HIGHER.
An Advance in Tea, Coffee and Sugar
Is Predicted.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-The anticipated
advance in the price of tea, coffee
and sugar, to follow the next meet
ing of the Retail Merchants associa-
ton of Chicago, is justified by present
market conditions, according to local
wholesale grocers.
"This years crop of Japan tea is
100000 pounds short said the
manager of one concern. This
means a shrinkage of one-tenth of the
normal crop. In addition to this fact,
it looks as if the ways and means
committee of the house were going to
put duty of 10 cents a pound on all
imported teas, although all the i'm
porters and wholesale dealers in Chi
cago have sent formal protest
against such a tariff. Tea will un-
questionably advance in price very
soon"
The manager of another house
said:
Although this is the dull season in
coffee trade, wholesale prices are from
a cent to a cent and a half pound
higher than they were in November,
and we are looking for further ad-
vances soon. The principal causes for
this condition are the agitation for
an import duty on coffee and a 20 per
cent export tax which has recently
been placed upon coffee by Brazil

WASN'T HENRY HUDSON.
Treasury Department. Decides Some
one Else Did the Discovering.

New York, Feb. 25.-After a care
full investigation the treasury depart
ment has come to the conclusion that
Hendrix Hudson was not the discov-
erer of the Hudson river after all
This fact was made known at a meet
ing last night of the New York So
ctety of Founders and Patriots of
America, a committee from which has
under consideration the placing of a
tablet on the walls of the new Gus
tom house in commemoration of Hud-
sons discovery. Before the work
can be done the approval of the treas
committee last night submitted a re-
port, including a. letter sent to Secre-
tary Cortefyou by w. L. Kunhardt,
which said that It was not strictly ac-
curate to say that Hudson discovered
the Hudson river and that the river
had been visited by at least two ear
lier navigators, Verrazano and
Gomez. Commenting on this bit of in
formation, Assistant Secretary Win
throp wrote:
From this letter YOU will note that
the accuracy of the legend on the tab
let is questioned and it is suggested
that before further action is taken I'm
the matter, that you have the state
ment verified and advise this office of
the change, if any, that you consider
advisable"
The committee will go ahead, how
ever, on the theory that Hudson to
dlA pTdCLlGdl puI pOS6S WAS the QlSCON-
erer of the river and with the belief
that if such technicalities were allowed
to stand in the way it would be about
the same as denying that Columbus
discovered America, as this continent
had been visited by Norsemen many
centuries before. Discussion of Hud-
sons claim to fame is particularly in
teresting at this time in view Of the
Hudson-F'ulton Centen-
NAL for which elaborate preparations
have been made.

DELICATE POINT.
In Matter of Jurisdiction Decided by
the Supreme Court.

Washington. Feb. 25.-The supreme
court of the United States has decid ed
delicate point srelative to the
jurisdiction of the federal and state
courts in cases in which citizens of a
state are Joined in suits with cor
porations which are citizens only of
the United States. The case was that
of Mrs. Mary Dunn, of Texas, whose
husband was killed on the Texas Pa
cific railroad.
She brought suit against the COM
pany and two of it's employees for dam
ages, the railroad company owing its
existence as a corporation to con-
gress and the employees being citizens
of Texas. The case, originally in
stituted in a state court of Texas, was
afterwards removed to a federal court.
Mrs. Dunn then filed an original
petition in the supreme court of the
United States for a writ of mandamus
compelling the restoration of the case
to the state court, on the ground that
only that court had jurisdiction be-
cause of the citizenship of the en-
ploye defendants. The court, how
ever, held against this contention,
holding that as the employees had been
Joined with the railroad company,
the federal court had jurisdiction over
them as well as over the corporation.
Justice Peckham who handed down
the opinion said that the rights of
the Texas Pacific company could not
be taken away even though it was
made an associate defendant with
citizens of Texas.

Downward Course.
London Heavy Seller on New

Held Responsible for Decline on
the Other Side.
Prospective Tariff Revision a
Strong Factor Over Here.

New York, Feb. 25.-Renewed
weakness developed in the stock mar
ket today and good part of yester-
days rally was lost Stocks of COM
panieS connected with the copper in
dustry declined violently. Amalgamat-
ed copper and Anaconda both slump
ed four points. American Smelling
lost SIS and National Lead SIS.
London was heavy seller of stocks
here, renewed uneasiness over the sit
uation in the Balkans being respon-
sible. The days news from the steel
trade renewed the apprehension of the
gravity of the situation and pointed to
a competition that promised to be
destructive of profits.
The coming tariff revision, the fear
of an unfavorable supreme court de-
cision in the commodities clause case
and the suspicion that yesterdays up
ward movement of stocks was caused
almost entirely by covering of shorts
were all the factors in undermining
speculative confidence.
A number of the most active trading
stocks, including Uuion Pacific, St.
Paul, Reading, United States steel and
others, fell from two to three points
below yesterdays closing prices dur
ing the morning.

Standard Charged With Backing Okla
homa Gas Case.

Muskogee. Okla, Feb. 25-In the
closing arguments in the federal court
here today in the case of the Kansas
Natural Gas company and Ohio and
Delaware firms seeking to permanently
enjoin the state from interfering with
their piping gas out of the state form
er Judge Edward w. Hatch, for the
plaintiffs, delivered a scathing arraign-
ment of the legislature that passed the
prohibitory law in question.
This" declared Judge Hatch, "rele-
gates us to the days Of the passage of
the secession enactment. 1 can think
of no difference in one state taking
herself out of the Union and in her TAX
ing her property out of the Union. If
Oklahoma can do this with her gas,
other states can do the same with their
wheat, corn and cotton"
Attorney General West, for the state,
also become sensational in his argu-
ment. He charged that the Standard
Oil company had appropriated seven
millions of dollars to prosecute the gas
cases and was the real party interested.
Judge Campbell today granted the
state 80 days in which to file a brief
and the gas company Is days to reply.

Sunday at the First Baptist church,
where the skirt Of a young woman was
slashed by a young man who sat next
to her. The injury to the skirt was not
discovered until the young man had
gone The members of the church pur-
chased the young woman another skirt

theaters have been reported since. Miss

skirt was slashed in the lobby of the
postoffice while she was in crowd.

men except the one in the church can
give any sort of description of the man.

On the bow were two large cannon
balls. The gun which was mounted
on the sloop is believed to be also at
the bottom not far from where the
vessel was found.
