TRUST CASE DECISION. U. S. Supreme Court Decides Against the Constitutionality of the Cast Iron Pipe Combination. By Telegraph to the Morales Star. Washington, December 4 In the U. S. Supreme Court today the Ad distone Pipe case was decided. This case involved the constitutionality of the combination of pipe manufacturers to manufacture pipa, which it was charged was a trust. The decision was nanded down by Justice Peckham add was adverse to the combination. It was therefore in opposition to the trust. The opinion of the Court of Appeals for the sixth circuit was affirmed. There were two questions before the court in connection with the case. The first was whether the constitutional clause for the regulation of the iner state commerce law applied to indi viduals and corporations, and the second, wnether, if the clause shou'd be found to so apply, the combination is a regulation of iuterstite commerce. The court held that the constitu tional clause did apply to individuals and corporations, and that the agree ment does by its provisions restrict and restrain commerce between the States. Hence the agreement was de cided to be void as applying to inter state business, and the injunction sus tained. The six companies composing the combination affected were the Addi stone Pjpe and Steel Company, of Cin cinnati; Dennis Lone & Co.. of Louis ville; the H ward-Harrison Iron Com pany, of Bess-mer, Ala. ; the Anniston PilM and Foundrv CVmnmT nf An aiston, Ala.; the Sjuth Pittsbar? Pipe Works, of South Pittsburg, Tenn, and the Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe Works, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Their agreement provided that there should be no competition between the companies in thirty-six States, which were mentioned in the manufacture amd sale of cast iron pipe. RAILROAD TAX CASE Jsdre Slmostoa Has Granted a Peti tion for a Re-bearior, December 1 9th Next By Telegraph to the Monona Star. Raleigh, December 4 Judge Si monton has granted the petition of the Corporation Commission for a re bear ing of the railroad tax case. The date fixed for the re hearing is December 19th, at Charleston, S. C. The re hear ing was asked on the ground that the recent decision of the State Supreme Court in the case of Abbott vs. Bnd dinefield holds that the Corpora tion Commission has the power to fix the tax value of railroad proper ty in the State. Judre Simonton. in his decision,ahortly before this, held exactly opposite. A Federal Judge is bound by a State's construction ot its laws. Counsel for the Corporation Commission say that in view of the Abbott decision Judge Simonton can not now do otherwise than reverse his opinion on the question of the taxing power. The railroads, on the other hand, will con tend that the deliverance of the Supreme Court on the taxation ques tion was purely a collateral matter, not directly before the court, and that therefore a United States judge is not bound by it. The Corporation Commission fixed the value of railroad property in the State at 42,000, 000 and Judge Sioaon- t33,oSo,oSo? deC"i0a CQt tt dOWn to ROBERTS NOT A CITIZEN.

Washdjqtok, Dec. 4. Appropriate tribute to the memory of the late Vice President Hobart was paid by the Sen ate to day at the first session of,the 55th Congress. The session lasted only thirty three minutes and en.y the most formal and necessary business was transacted. After the adoption of the usual rou ine resolutions and the ad ministration to the new members of the oath of office. Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, presenter fitting resolu tions upon the death of the Vice Pres ident; the resolutions were ordered to be communicated to the House or Rep reentatives.and the session, on motion of Senator Kean, of New Jersey, was suspended at 12.33 P. M. Senator Frye, of Maine, president pro tern., called the Senate to order at noon. Senator Bacon, Georgia, was the first member to be recognized by the cr.air. ne presented on behalf of Senator Mallory, Florida, who was detained from the session by illness, the credentials of Senator elect Talia ferro, of Florida. They were filed. Senator Penrose. Pennsylvania, pre sented the credentials of Matthew Stanley Quay, appointed Senator from Pennsylvania by the Governor. On motion of Senator Cockrell, Missouri, the credentials of Senator Quay were referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. In this connection Senator Chandler, N-w Hampshire, offered a resolution that Senator Quay be admitted as a mem berfrom Pennsylvania. This resolu tion also went to the . Committee on Privileges and Elections. R-mnnstrfltinna a n H mtmnnila against the seating of Senator Quay were presented by Senator Burrows, Republican, Michigan, and Senator Jones, Democrat, Arkansas. Bv direction of th rh&ip IVia now Senators were then presented at the secretary's desk, where the oath of office was administered to them by the President pro tem. House of Representatives. Washington, Dec. 4. Enormous crowds witnessed the opening scenes in the House to-day. The principal interest centered in the disposition of the case of Mr. Roberts, the Mor nion representative from Utah. Those who anticipated a sensational rfrulrAt were disappointed. The programme outlined by the Republican leaders at their conference on Friday night wa partially carried out. The objection to' the administration of the oath to Mr. R iberts, was entered by Mr. Tay lor, of Ohio, as predicted, and Mr. Roberts stepped ag.de without protest except to ssk n oy aoing so ne waived any of his rights. To this the Speaker responded in the negative. Although Air. K-jberts was not sworn in to day he secured a seat. This, however, was by an accident pure and simple. In the seat drawing lottery no provision had been made for Mr. Roberts, but when the drawing was completed two others as well as him self had not been provided with seats and the Speaker asked and 'secured from the House general permission for those members who had not drawn seats to make such selections as they could. Under this authority Mr. Roberts COt a seat in an nhvnra nnii. a wvww.w tlon of trie hall. Mr RnHnrta was tko . - avwvw. u n . observed of all observers throughout the day. His daughter sat in the gal lery and watched the proceedings. The Reed Roles. The only feature out of the ordinary was the adoption of the Reed rules for the present Congress. Toe Demo crats knew it wa futiln tn muMthon protest against f the adoption of these rules after the Republicans had de cided upon this course in caucus and the debate upon the resolution to adopt them was very brief. They were adopted by a strict party vote. Very early in the day the monster petition, said to consist of seven mil lion names nroteatinir seating of Mr. Roberto was brought iiimj me uaji. xi naa oeen collected by a New York newspaper. It con sisted of twenty-eight rolls of names each about two feet in diameter, en casea in the American flag. These rolls were stacked up in the area in fcpnt o.f the clerk's desk and were vi-wed with great curiosity. Later Major McDowell, clerk of the House ordered all except two of the rolls taken out into the lobby and the big barrier against Mr. Roberts dwindled to the size of a barrel sawed in half wrapped in bunting. As the minute hand of the clock op posite the Speaker's rostrum overtook the hour hand at noon, the gavel of the clerk of the last House, Major Mc Dowell, standing at the dek below the Speaker's rostrum descended, with a bang. The blind chaplain, Rev. Henry Couden, of Michigan, offered prayer. Tnen the reading clerk began calling tne roll. Mr Roberts sat listening intently for ii name. when his name was called he responded "here" iu a loud voice. But he looked nervous and ill at ease. Thern vra r, dunog the roll call. When it was concluded Clerk McDowell announced that 352 members had answered to their names a quorum. "The next thing in order," announced the clerk 'la the ' Election of Speaker." Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, offered a resolution, which was adopted viva voce, providing that the House pro ceed to the election of a 8peaker for the C6tu Congress. Thereupon Mr Grosvenor of Ohio, as chairman of the Republican caucus, presented the name of David B. Henderson, of Iowa I he mention of the name of General Henderson was greeted with a round of applause from the Republican side. K ay' of .v"-ini, chairman of the Democratic caucus, nominated lTlr- """Mon. or Tennessee, and hi name drew the plaudits of the Democratic side. t 't1??' Kansas, nominated John C. Bell, of Colorado as thTPo? ulist candidate and Mr. Wilson, of Idaho, placed Francis C. Newlands of Nevada, in nomimtinn o ' i date, for the 8ilver party. TheroU cau resulted: Henderson ttwuuujon, xoo; reii, 4; .New lands, 2. The clerk thereupon announced the election of Mr. Henderson amid great Republican applause. He designated Mr. Richardson, Mr. Bell and Mr. Newlands as a committee to escort the Speaker to the chair. The committee retired to the lobby and after a short wait the doors of the main port of the House swung open and General Henderson entered upon the arm of Mr. Richardson, followed by the two other members of the com- mittee. 'when he ascended the ros tram, Mr. Richardson, in a not speech introduced him and in response to the hearty cheers he addressed t".f House briefly acknowledging hisapr ciation of the treat responsibility. In accordance with the time-houortd custom, the oldest member of te House, in point of service, Mr. Harmer, of Pennsylvania, who has served twenty four years in the lower branch of Congress, administered the oath to the Speaker. The Speaker then announced that the oath would be administered to to- the mem bers by States. As the names of tho members were called they -appeared at the bar in groups of about a dozen and there with raised hands were sworn in by the Speaker. The Case of Roberts. Tha moment fnr wKinh all ravunt were anxiously waiting came when the State oath and Mr. Roberts' name were called. Instantly a hush fell upon the assembly. Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, was on his feet asking for recog nition. The Speaker recognized him immediately. "I object to the swear ing in of the representative elect from Utah and to his taking his seat," began Mr. Taylor in a clear distinct voice. "I do,: Mr. Speaker," he continued, "on my responsibility as a member of this House, and because specmo, serious, and apparently well grounded charges of ineligibility are made against him. A transcript of the DroCeedinoS Of A mtrt in Tit ah Awi. dences the fact that the claimant was in 1889 convicted or that he pleaded guilty, of the crime of unlawful cohabitation. Affidavits and other papers in my pos session indicate that ever since then he has been persistently guilty of the same crime, and that ever since then he has been and is now a polyga mist. If this transcript and these affi davits and papers tell the truth, the memher Almt fmm TTiok to in ir judgment ineligible to be a member of this House of Representatives, bnth because of the statutory ditqualifica tion of the Edmunds law, an for higher and graver and quite as sound reasons. I ought also to say in addi tion to what I have just said that I have in my possession a certified copy of the entry under which the claim nt to this seat wis nalumlizwi nnH tha eminent counsel assert that if it be the record in the case, this claimant is not a citizen of the United States. I offer anti I express no opinion upon that pro "Mr. Speaker, if it were possible to emphasize the gravity of those charges and the responsibility that is at this moment imposed upon the House, we will find that emphasis in the me morials, a small part of which could be physically cared for in this hall, but all of which I now present to the House, from over seven million Ameri can men and women protesting against the entrance of this representative elect from Utah." At the conclusion of Mr. Taylor's remarks. Mr. McRse rnimvi kansas) briefly expressed his concur rence in the protest of Mr. Taylor. If the charges hanging over the head of the representative elect from Utah were true, he said, his being sworn in wouia nean assault upon every Ameri can home. If true, Mr. Roberts was guilty of a violation of the laws of the United States and of Utah, and the charges should be investigated. If they were proven true, he said em phatically, in conclusion, there should not be a vote in the H use in favor of allowing him a seat in this body. Meantime Mr. Roberts had advanced to the head of the aisle and stood there irresolutely. "In view of the objec tion," said the Speaker, addressing him, "the gentleman will step aside." x ho so, replied Mr. Koberts, "with the understanding that by my action I waive none of my rights." "None of the gentleman's rights will be lost," said the Speaker, and Mr. Roberts thereupon retired quietly to his seat There was no demonstration either on the floor or in the galleries. The remaining members were then sworn in, after which Mr. Taylor im uicuiauii v ui nrvn n a Man ittiAM A fer the case of Roberts to a special committee. The resolution was as fol lows: "Whereas, It is charged that Brig ham H. Roberts, a representative-elect to the 56th Congress from the State of Utah, is ineligible to a seat in the House of Representatives; and, where as, such a charge is made through a uicuiuor oi tne raouse on nis responsi bility as such member, and on the basis, as he asserts of public records, affidavits and papers evidencing such ineligibility; therefore, "Resolved, That the question of the pnma facie right of Brigham II. Roberts to be sworn in as a representa tive from the State of Utah in the 56th Congress, as well as his final right to a seat therein as such Representative, be referred to a special committee of nine members of the House to be ap- nnintul k t.. i . ... .

Roberto shall not be sworn in or be permitted to occupy a seat in this House; and said com ujniee snail nave power to send for persona and papers and examine wit nesses on oath in relation to the sub ject matter of this resolution." An agreement was then reached by which the consideration of the resolu tion should be postponed until to morrow after the reading of the Presi dent's message. The excitement there upon quickly subsided and many of the spectators left the galleries. After the usual committee to notify the President and SanB,tA nf tha izalion of the House had been named, Mr. Dalzill, Republican, . Pennsyf vania, offered a resolution for the adoption of the rules of the last Con gress, which, after a brief debate in which Messrs. Bailey, R chardson and Hepburn took part, was adopted by a vote of 177 to 158 The drawing of seats then occurred, Mr. Adams, of Georgia, securiog the seat occupied by Speaker Cnsp in the IT .4. fl mar .

The corre spondent of the Associated Press with General Lord Methuen's column, tele graphing from Modder river last Thursday says: "The Waterloo of the campaign has been fought and won. The battle waa conducted with unprecedented stub bornness on both sides. There was one continuous roar, like the explosion of countless fire crackers. There was no flinching on either side, and not a moment's pause. "For five hours the British batteries poured tons of shrapnel and shells in to the Boer positions. Lord Methuen had twenty-two guns and each fired j an average or zmi rou nas The Boers had an almost equal number of guns, which, it is reported, were mostly served by French and German artillerists. "Owing to the bend in the river on the right, the Boers had an opportu nity of cross firing on the British at tack.

This occurred quite At lhA hAffinmnff lf tha an 'ra nan . Whenever the Boer fire was silenced in one direction it was immediately re opened in another.

The Americans left Hamapacaa, pro vince, of Union, this morning, expeo -ing to have a hard fight at Tagudin, in South Uocos province, but they found on arriving there that six hun dred rebels under General Tino had evacuated thirty six hours before, de serting an .almost impregnable position. The insurgents hsd been entrenched at Tagudin on the north side of the river, where a hundred well disci p lined troops could have slaughtered a whole brigade crossing the river, with the men up to their arm pits in water.
