Decision That may Drive Them Out of
Missouri.
St. Louis, May 2. The trusts re
ceived a knockout blow in the court of
appeals today, which is likely to drive
them out of business in the state. The
judges unanimously decided that
trusts cannot collect for goods sold
within the borders of the state. The
Missouri anti-trust law was sustained,
and it Is further decreed that all pools
to fix a limit to the prices of any com
modity is illegal. The decision today
was particularly against the Nation
Lead trust, which, had sold goods to a
St. Louis firm and was endeavoring to
collect therefor.
MAKE WAY FOR GOMEZ.
Havana, May 2, The Junta of u
ban geneHals met today, Gomez presid

They assert that the junta does not
possess the right to remove them.
The junta also decided to organise
a Cuban national guard of 12,000 men,
despite General Brooke's statement to
Gomez that such a force was unneces
sary and the country was unable to
bear the expense.

ation. The attorney general reported that
Atkinson and his associates could cer
tainly be convicted on a charge of con
spiring against the government The

Jclined to attach too much dignity" to
the affair ar present but in case of a
further outbreak the government won't
Jbesltaie to propecute.
- The postmorter general severely jar
Tjigrned -AtkiiMn and hla associates
thinking they should be well satisfied

'No worse case of sedition," he said,
"occurred during the civil war."
N notice Las been sent Atkinson of
the loppage of his mail and none
probably will fce.

DEMOCRATIC
Hayes Majority 8,000 or

Did It.
Baltimore, May 2. The latest re
turns ahow Hayes, democratic candi
date or mayor, elected by a majority
of 8,000 to 10,000 over Malster. repub
lican and present mayor. The town is
wild over the result. The fight va3 bit
ter from start to finish. The demo
crate stood for good government and
captured most of the reform and inde
pendent vote. The negro question was
largely responsible fpr the republican
defeat, the democrats insisting1 this
waa o -ro.h i t e man's N
The democrats swept the entire city
electing 18 out of 24 members of the
first branch of the city council and the
entire seeond branch. The putting on
the ticket for the council of Hiram
Wattie, a notorious, negro, also cost the.
republicans a number of votes.
THE DEAD FROM THE MAINE.
Bodies of the Victims Likely to Re
main at Hayana.
New lork May 2, A despatch to the
World Tom Washington says that the
bodies of the victims of the Maine may
rest peimanently at Havana and Key
West, 'vhere they were first buried, al
though it was contemplated by con
gress and th authorities at Washing
Ion that they should be brought to
Washington for final burial in Arling
ton cemetery.
This ie soy seated by the fact that
the graves o. the Maine's dead at
Havana ha v. been recently placed in
rerfect order and elaborate plans have
been rpade for beautifying and mark
ing the spot. JL wali of masonry, with
anchors and ieces of .cannon, is to
inclose: the -rot;. aid -already tropical

'origreeef j propria ted $10,000 to de
fray i he ex r.er!ses -of bringing the bod
ies to WashingYon butas yet no moye
has boc-n n.ade to disinter them, and it
does not appar that aiiy move will be
made at an ecrly date.
It if understood that it. Is due to the
mutilated co dition of the bodies that
the naval authorities are averse
to cxposirg t.'ipm to view, as would be
$he case if l ey were removed..
Friends and relatives would be spat
ed ftirther pain by permitting the dead
heroes to lie where they now rest.
Naval officers have labored to mark
the graves am1 to identify each body
so titat in rase they should be removed
there would be no mistake.
RALEIGH SAILS SOUTHWARDS
Phila'delphia, May 2. The Ralergh
sailed today for Wilmington, N. C,

She will next go to Charleston to take
part in the celebration by the Confed
erate naval veterans on May 20. She
will then" go to Portsmouth, N. H.,
where she goes out of commission.
REJECTED BY THE SOUTHERN.
Louisville, May 2. The Southern
railway has rejected the option given
by holders, of the mortgage bonds of
the Air Line because the price is high
er than the Southern feels justified In
paying. The effect of the rejection
seems to be that the deal for the Air
Line is'off for the present.

A Woman Kills Her Friend and Her

Stockton, CaL. May 2. A tragedy
which recalls the Freda -Ward case in
Tennessee occurred here thisvmornlng,
when Mrs. Virginia Hassel, wife of a
weU-to-do Englishman, killed her
friend, Mrs. William Heckman, and
then shot herself dead. The most
I plausible theory is that she did the
deed for fear of being separated from
her friend. Mrs. Hassel was separated
from her husband and Mrs. Heckman
also had domestic trouble.
