In the central and, east em parts the agricul tural classes have been forced -from the 'farms . into the nearest towns where they are without work or mon ey. Therlocal authorities in the sev eral towns, however kindly disposed they may be, are unable to relieve the needs of the coiumon people alto gether and are powerless to help our citizens The latest reports of Consul General Lee . estimates that six to eight hundred American" citizens are without means of support. I have assured hiin that provision will be made immediately, to relieve them. To that end I recommend that Con gress make an appropriation of - fifty thousand dollars: to he immediately available for use under the direction of the Secretary : of Stkte It is de sirable that part of the sum, which may: be appropriated by Congress, should, in the discretion of the Secre tary of State,' be also used for trans DOrtatiod of American ftitirena. vhn desiring to return to ; the United States are without means to do so.

IT MAY- NOT SELL CIGARETTES i - INvILLINOIS : " Judge Gibbons Bases This Decision on the Conclusion That Self-Preservation, is Inherent,, in State- i- hood. , , ' - ' - - v - Chicago, May; 15. Judge Gibbons rendered a'decisipu. to-day declaring the American Tobacco Company an illegal corporation and prohibiting its agents from carrying on its business within the confines of this State. -The decision sustains the informa tion filed last December by Attorney General Maloney asking' that the American Tobacco Company he en joined from selling paper cigarctts on the premise that it was a trust monop oly and conspiracy in the. business. The defendants filed demurrers, gen eral and special, but each was over ruled by. the exhaustive opinion handed ; down to-day: Representa tives of the tobacco company who were in court, announced that a no tice of an appeal to the Supreme Court would be 'given. ' The plea of the Attorney General alleged that the American Tobacco Company were sellers of 95 per cent, of all the paper cigarettes manufac tured ; in - the United ; States. Tlie Company filed a general demurrer, the main contention being that the State of Illinois is powerless to re strain a foreign . corporation sfrom shipping or selling; snch articles in the 8tate to another, or,from distrib -uting or selling such articles in the State to which the shipment is made. The court said that the power of self-preservation is inherent i n. State hood. - This gives the Staie. the ..pow er to pass and enforce "any law which is necessary and indispensable to the preservation of public health. ; t .

They decided not to offer a substitute for the finance - committee bill, but . to propose amendments; which while they will reduce the fates of the Wil son Jaw, produce sufficient revenue. They regard the committee's bill as a revenue T producer,; and calculate that, even without the proposed beer tax and the tea duty, it would bring a surplus in.to the Treasury. On the other hand, they regard 'the - House bill as nearly prohibitive on many of the schedules, vand think that on this account it would be deficient in the production of revenue. The Demo cratic members are especially critical of the sugar, glass and wool - sched ules, and expect" to offer amendments toB.ll of them. , - ' i."' , t I Biff Rock Twinklings.
