" Tobacco circles . are vsry mpob wrought np over the news published li the Sunday papers announcing the amal gamatlon of the American and, Imperia Tobacco companies and an amicable di vision of the territory by which the Imperial withdraws entirely from th American field. Nothing is said on that paint, bu$ it is probable that the ' Ameri can takes possession qf the Imperial' property In Klnston and at other point In the State.' Of course the Imperial f now off the market here and elsewhere in America and speculation Is rife as to what effect it will have. Some bellev that the prices will fall eff materially at once and others think tie effect will not ps felfi bete at all tihls year.

V 7 1 C "-Of" 1 h " r It is belived this combination, is the first attempt to unite any great Inter national Industry and Its progress, will be watched with interest everywhere. . Referring to the termination of the con flict, an official of the American company said, to a repiessntatlve of the American Press; ' . , " ' ' , It la ths first combination, to my mind, on right lines, and one that assures unity of Interests where powerful Amer ican and English concerns go out hand-ln-hand, to seek the trade of the rest of the world. It has been a difficult matter requiring the most careful consideration. Ths negotiations have been' proceeding since August 16th, It was a subject that could pot be discussed In the press while they were in progress, but now Sbatrthey are concluded,: we have de cided to issue an authoritative state ment to head-off garbled accounts. Personally, I think tbe lines on which this combination Is formed, are destined ; to affect the larger fields of general An-, glo-American relations." "We are decidedly pleased at the out come of tbe negotatlons." said one of the highest officials of the American Tobacco company ,-discussing the situation with a representative of the Associated Press, "Not only are we pleased at the good business deal, out of which we made sev eral millions, but we are pleased because ths combination means a real amalga mation of interests, Instead of buying off an opposition at a prise, which appears to the opponent to be a poll table figure, Such a real working combination ci American and English interests as has just been effected, will in any line of busi ness unquestionably dominate the trade of the world. ''Regarding tie details,- you can say that the capital of the British-American company will be 30,000,000. Mr. Duke will be president. While It Is convenient to register It as an Englis company and have its headquarters In London, we have named twelve directors and ths Im perial company's Interests have named elx.' Their respective financial Interests are two-thirds American and one-third English. There is nothing to prevent transferring the headqiiarters to America if it ever proves more convenient to op erate there, but at present the business can best be carried on In London. "We have named three directors for tbe board of the Imperial' company", which will hereafter confine itself to, the United Kingdom, while the British American company goes In for ths world trade, outside of tbe United States Cuba and the .United Klngdoml Tbe Cuban provision insures for the Americans ths cfgar business of the Island, of which we now control eighty per cent, The Im perial company throws Into the new company its colonial business. So, with our trade outside tbe United States, the British-American company starts with a ready made annual business of 4,000,- 000,000 curettes alone. , . ; ' "Regardfrj the Imperial Company's factories ia the United States concerning which considerable matter has been printed in Upland, they are merely lea' factork-f aai will be operated for that purpose." , V U -Hji ummpr Cold.

Twenty-four hours before the cyclone burst over the Island, a violent storm raged on the eastern coast of Stcfljr. The path of the cyclone 1 was 124 miles long, and everything In the Hue of the storm was destroyed. The sea swept inland for several kilometers, doing, enormous damage, wbile there were violent submarine , agitations be tween Slul'y and the mainland.

The negro came to the shed to make a complaint t I .1 A. ' S , . '. . against tne moiorman, wno went into the office with tbe conductor of the car, to make a report o'. the trouble. The negro came into the office and after a few words pulled out a pistol and fired at Raber at close range, the ball taking effect Ju the left groin. A motorman who was standin 1 In the door grabbed the negro before he could fire a second time, knocked him down and choked him, taking the pistol away from the man.
