[ said I did not know exact- ly, but understood he was somewhere about Mukden. “General Stoessel remarked that he had last heard from General Kuiopat- kin Oct. 6, saying he would come to relieve Port Arthur socon. General Stoessel added that he had sent cut Chinese spies, who returned and re- ported that General Kuropaikin, with a relieving army, was at Kinchow, twenty miles north of Port Arthur. General Stoessel was plainly incred- ulous at my statement that General Kuropatkin had been deleated driven back towards Muitden, so I pro- duced maps, showed him the position of the two armies near the Sh river and gave Stcessel details of ropatkin's defeat, with the loss of 50,- 000 to 60,009 men, at which the Rus- sian general expressed amazement and quickly remarked that he had been misied. “General Stoessel then asked where the Ballic fieet ‘was and I told him that some of the ships had not passed the Cape of Goodl Hope.

There is a real es tate mortgage of $35,000 on that and a chattel mortgage of $7.000,” he said.

They do not accomplish fusion of property interests, he said, but on the contiary simply agreements between strangers to each other’s business, affecting their freedom of action in certain respeects, and by that consideration the case at bar is shown to be devoid of those fea- Mures from which differences o/ opin- ion arose in the Northern Securities case. He also pointed out differences between this and the Knight and Hop- kins cases. Thus, he said, the inquiry is narrowed down to only two ques- tions for the determination -of the court. ‘Whether the commerce in the case was commerce among the states and, if so, whether the agreements consti- tute a monopoly of any part of it, AFTER A LONG SESSION.
