tho killed have not yet been gathered.
Lieutenant General Staekelberg's

were routed and panic stricken, but
afterwards they were strongly rein

through the lungs and tho bullet
lodged at his spine, from whence It

moroly a demonstration. The Japa

talions tried to capture tho village of
TIngal. A bayonet encounter ensued

traint of Trade Within the Mean
ing of the Law Opinion Delivered
by Justice Holmes.
Washington, Jan. 31. The supreme
court of the United States decided
the case of the United States against
Swift, known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among packers
to fix prices on fresh meats, etc. Tho
opinion was handed down by Justice
Holmes and affirmed the decision of
tho court below .which was against tho
packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten
tions of tho packers and disposed of
them Individually. He admitted that
some of tho charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was
necessarily true on account of tho
vast extent of the. field covered. Ho
added that sufficient ovldenco had
been shown to provo continuous of
fenses and an offenso of such a nature
to Justify tho proceeding. Tho opin
ion continues tho injunction granted
against tho packers under tho Sher
man anti-trust law by tho lower courts.
Tho opinion was concurred in by all
tho members of the court.
In speaking of the decision of tho
supremo court in tho beef trust case,
Attorney General Moody said: "I
was present in. court when a synopsis
of tho decision was stated orally by
Justlco Holmes. Thero is no Impro
priety In my saying that, bb I under

Briefs and Revise Arguments.

gation - of protests against Senator
Sraoot of Utah retaining his seat in
tho United States senate was con
cluded by the commltteo on privileges
and elections, and when a report is
drafted by tho committee tho Investi
gation will pass to tho wholo senate.
Ono question of great moment which
will bo fought over on tho floor of the
senate Is whether a two-thirds voto
or a majority of the senate Is required
to expel a member. Mr. Taylor, coun
sel for the protestants, holds that a
majority voto will suffice, In the same
manner that a majority vote will pre
vent a senator from first taking his
seat. It will bo several weeks be
fore the committee will be ablo to
report. Tho committee allowed coun
sel until Feb. 4 to revise their argu
ments and file written briefs.
