STANDARD OIL COMPANY WINS Ohio Supreme Cou olds Agn: Fermer Attorney Gene Mon- nett's Allegati of Contempt. and no such s true,” sald Mr. COLUMBUS, 0., Dec. 11.—The supreme court today dismissed the proceedings brought by former Attorney General Mon- tt, charging that the Standard Oil com- piny was In contempt of court for having failed to comply with the an order lssued in 1892 demanding a dissolution of the Stardard Oll trust. Six members of the court divided, Chlet Justice Shauck amd Justices Berkett and Davis favoring dis- missal of the information in contempt and Justices Minshall, Spear and Willlams dis- senting. Under a rule of the court the fallure of a majority to sustain the in- formation In contempt s in effect a dis- mieeal of the proceedings. The ltigation against the Standard Ol company, which s thus closed, dates back to May 8, 1890, when Attorney General D. K. Watson brought suit in the supreme court to have the Standard Oll trust dls- solved. In March, 1892, the allegations in the petition were sustained and the com- pany was “ousted.”” On March 21 tollowing & meeting of stockholders was called and & liguidating board, consisting of Joha D. Rocketeller, H. M. Flagler and others . appointed to wind up the affairs of the company. The company them set up the clalm that 1t was {mpossible to close up the busine: of 8o great a concern In the time allotted. The judges of the supreme court declined to take any action extending the time in which the company's affalrs might be wound up, but informally addressed a let- ter to the attorney of the company, which stated In effect that as long as the Standard 01l company continued its efforts to com- ply with the decree of the court and to wind up its affairs in Ohio the court would not be disposed to interfere. On November #, 1807, F. 8. Monnett, then attorney gen- eral, filed an information in the supreme court alleging that the Standard Ol com- pany had not complied with the decree of the court and asking that its officers be cited for contempt. The testimony In this proceeding was taken by Allen Brinsmade of Cleveland, as master commissioner, and was submitted to the court some months ago. Mr. Monnett, when asked his opinfon of the decision, sald that while he felt that the evidence sustained the charge of con- tempt, he bowed to the decree of the court, om. Vote of North Dakota.

COLLISION ON THE SANTA FE Frelght Tr Traln Runs Into Stock n, Resulting in & Death and Serious Injuries. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 11.—A rear-end col- lislon oecurred this morning between two Santa Fe freight trains near Olathe, Kan., wherein one life was lost and several per- sons injured.

They were on thelr way to Kamsas City with stock. Tho air brakes of the stock train stuck two miles from Olathe and the freight traln ran into it. Conductor C. Nicholson of the €talled train says that when his traln stalled he went back to do the flagging. He says his train started. He lit a fuse and started for his own train, calling out to the stockmen when he saw the collision inevit- able. All succeeded In getting out of the way car but one. After the crash the wrecked way car caught fire and was de- stroyed and a car of wheat next to the caboose was also burned. The track was cleared n a few hours.

Some of them have been ac- copted and others will be Investigated. He also stated that he had received ap- plications from members of the Order of Railway Telegraphers who want to reture to work. In this comnection Colonel Polk stated that under no clrcumstances will the compaay relnstate any man who had deserted his post. Reports recelved to- night indicate that all trains are running on schedule time without delay or trouble with the exception of the breaking in two and running together of a freight train near Cedar Hill. A message recelved today from Division Superintendent Scott by General Manager Polk stated that a crowd of citizens, headed by ex-Agent Scale, at Morgan forced a new employe at that place out of town. Later another message announced that the new agent and operator had returned to the place and was prepared to remain on duty and that the company would protect. him. In regard to a statement emanating from the headquarters of the Order of Rallway Telegraphers to the effect that a large amount of cotton was tled up at Ladonia, Mr. Polk stated that four cotton cars had been delayed at Ladonia because the way- missing. dent, WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—General Isaac [Kahn, the newly appointed Persian min- Ister, was presented to the president to- day by Secretary Hay.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—A proposition which virtually amounts to a suggestion that Northern Pacific colonist rates be applied through Missourl river gateways to Call- fornla points was submitted by telegraph to raflroads in the Transcontinental asso- clation today and promptly voted down. The proposition follows lonfst rates, west nia points and intor me # affected be: From Chic £, Louls, New Orleans an mon polnts, $270.60; from Miss 1 rive common points, $25.

The rates are the same. Although the proposition was voted down, fears are entertalned that some road may take independent action and force theso rates into effect. No particular ob- Ject, it is claimed, is to be served by them, as business to California at present is un- usually heavy, so much so that all the roads have been compelled to put on ad- ditional trains. If the rates go into effect vast amounts of revenue, it I8 said, will be sacrificed and Colorado and Utah rates may be permanently affected. iy | fod | Southe Rallway in Illinofs.

CHICAGO, Dee. 11.—It is likely that a rate as low as ome fare for the round trip and possibly 1 cent a mile may be author- 1zed by the rallroads for the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo next summer.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT. fect of Thelr Warm Drink in the » .. “A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my poeition in the school room because of my excessive nervousmess. “I was telling a friead about it and she said, ‘we drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it 18 such a com- fort to have something we can enjoy drink- ing with the children.’ “I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffes, but she sald Postum was the most health- ful driok in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. “Just a lttle thought convinced me that one should not take a stimulant such as coffce, but really should have the best food to nourish the brain and nerves, and that nourishment was found in Postum. “My first trial was a fallure, The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted 50 flat that I was in despair, but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and bolled It fifteen minutes after the bolllng began. It was a declded success and I was completely won by its rich, deliclous flavor.

The demonstration centinued for some minutes. At Its concluston Lord Roberts made an eloquent address. After expressing deep thanks for the honors accorded him he sald the war In South Africa had a pe- cullar interest for him, Inasmuch as it enabled him to brimg to what he hoped a successful conclusion the work en- trusted to him twenty years ago—that of dispelling, by force of arms, if necessary, the aspirations of the Hoers to render thomselves independent of British control. Referring to his abortive visit to the Cape In 1881, he sald: “The wisdom of this world Is foolishess with God. The guldiog hand of the Omnipotent will bring good out of what to our in- finite understanding was the most unfortunate war of 1881, for that war would have consolldated the whole British empire as firmly as this bas done, bocause it was fought by regulars alone, wherens the present war was fought by the militia, yeomanry and volunteers, the ad- mirable amd workmanlike colonlal con- tingents all fighting as brothers in arms under the dear old flag of the queen.” In this respect Lord Roberts said he held the unique position of the first fleld marshal having the homor to command ach an imperial outburst. He was con- vinced, ho declared, that this spontaneous outburst of patriotism was not ephemeral. England had only to give the signal and its sons would agaln flock to its banner from the ends of the world. Never had a mother more reason to be proud of her sons than had England today. God had brought them out of what in the dark days of De- cembor had appeared to them the valley of the shadow of death, and thay could now remember the days of tribulation with deep gratitud- for the mercy vouchsated them. Lord Roberts than paid a deeply moving tribute of gratitude to all who had worked with him. He added that his fnterest in South Africa would not cease on leaving its shores, but that he should watch its settle- ment with the utmost eagerness. Dwell- ing upon the necessity of co-operation be- tween the Dutch and English, he said it would be his proudest boast if he could claim to have done nothing but what stress of war had compelled to hinder the friendly fusion of the two races of the republics. They must try to forgive and forget all that tends to bitterness of feeling, leaving the idea that rothing remained to be atoned tor om efther side. “God has glven into our hands,” sald the fleld marshal, 'a great heritage, for which & heavy price has been paid in the blood of the best and bravest, and we must not be neglectful of the trust as we have been {n the past, but must be able to give a good account of our stewardship and must remember there are other duties than nu- tional glorifications.” Field Marshal Lord Roberts, with his wife aqd daughters, sailed for England to- ddy on the Canada. PORT ELIZABETH, ‘Cope Colony, Dec. 11.—A number of persons suspected of plot- ting to murder Lord Roberts during his visit here recently, abandoned thelr schemes on learning that they were shad- owed. . MILNER USES PLAIN WORDS Committee of Afrikander Congresn Told Its Resolutions Will Be Tranamitted with Disapproval. CAPETOWN, Dec. 11.—SIr Alfred Milner today received the deputation appointed by the recent Afrikander congress to present transmission to the British government the three resolutions adopted by the congress. In reply to the deputa- tion's spokesman he sald: “I shall forward these resolutions to the imperial government with my strong dis- approval. They were framed by clever men mow engineering the present agita- tion and encouraging those who are carry- ing on & hopeless resistance.” Of the resolutions adopted at Worcester the first demands the termination of the war, with its untold misery, protests against the devastation of the country and the burning of farms, which “will leave a lasting heritage of bitterness, and de- clares that the indepemdence of the repub- lics will alome f{nsure peace in South Africa.” The second urges the right of the colony to manage its own affairs aud censures the | policy of Sir Alfred Milner. The third | pledges the congress to “labor in a con- | stitutional way to attain the ends defined in the two preceding sectfons.’ DUTCH MAKE FINAL REFUSAL Anmounce Definitelygthut They W Not Take Initiative in Behalf ot Arbitration, THE HAGUE, Dec. 11.—The Dutch gov- srument today finally and definitely refused © take the initiative in behalf of arbitra- fon between the Tr .asvaal and Great Brit- ain. The decision of the government yas com- municated in an Interview betweéen Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds om one side and the Dutch fcreign minister of finance, N. P. Plerson, on the other.
