There was a tremendous sea run ning when the unknown vessel went to tbs bottota. This prevented the Savannah approaching the vessel. But the Savannah was herself en gaged In keeping her head on to the storm and could not have ren dered assistance If her officers had wanted to. Tfie Savannah sighted the ,tnt* known vessel hours before she sank. But both vessels were engaged In fighting their way through the ter- riffle gale with the thermometer at the time at nearly zero. -Both vflsela kept plunging on to the southward, but no signs over cargo from the stranger.

D. Crum, as collector for the port of Charleston, before the present session ends. According to what is said, the ses sion was devoted not alone to the question of negroes, but also to Chinese and Japanese. Senators Bacon and McLaurin as sisted Senator Tillman by discussing at length the present day question of the treatment of Japanese in Cali fornia, and this led into a still fur ther discussion of the Chinese, all of which was brought out to help in the “fllllbuster’’ that Senator Till man has inaugurated against Crum. With the help of the two Senators named he was able t6 at least keep the matter down today, and it is understood that from this time on he will be assisted by practically all the Democrats In the Senate.^ Al though he was called down by the application of the Senate rules, he was able to beat off Senator Frye and others who are clamoring for Crum’s confirmation. The pitchfork was brandished considerably, it is <aid, and after several hours spent in an unsuccessful attempt to put Crum through, the executive ses sion came to an end with Senator Tillman so far the victor. There Is not the least doubt now that a first class ‘“fillibuster” is on, and that if Senator Tilman does not overdo himself in the attempt to hold off Crum's nomination, he will eventually be usccessful. Today's developments have given hope to those who have been fo! lowing the case that the matter will go over, and that the efforts now be ing made to force Crum on the peo ple of Charleston for another terb, will come to and end with the Roose velt administration. Executive sessions are secret, and those Senators who take part in the deliberations generally decline to tell what takes place, but those who were on the outside today are firmly con vinced that. Senator TILlman means, business', and that if he continues to like the negro, the Japanese and the Chinese question together in or der to kill time he will eventually win out in the effort to defeat Crum. BUY FROM US chlnery r ^>up] Sup] lea United States Supreme Court Up holds Jobber's Contention Against Continental Wall Paper Company. Washington, Feb. 1.—The case of the Continental Wall Paper Com pany vs. Lewis Voight & Sons of Cincinnati was today decided by the supreme cqurt of the United States In Volght s favor. The suit was brought by the company on a debt of $57,060, the payment of which was resisted on the ground that the paper company is a trust. In effect the decision holds that an admitted trust, organized contrary to the Sherman anti-trust law, can not; use the court to collect debts. ft was represented that Voight had bought over $200,000 worth of paper, on which he had paid 50 per cent more than he would have had to pay if there had been com petition. It was also set out that the Continental Company had been organized to conduct the business of the various wall paper factories of the United States and that Voight as a jobber in its products, had been compelled to sign a strict agreement on the threat that if he did not do so no paper would be sold to him and that it would be made impos sible for him to continue in busi ness. in a demurrer the company admit ted that it was a trust and still con tended that it could properly collect debts duo it. On this showing the company's petition was dismissed by the trial court and Its decision was affirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals for the Sixth circuit. Today’s opinion was by Justice Har lan, and sustained the decision of of the lower courts. Justice Brewer, White, Beckham and Holmes dis sented. Justice Harlan’s opinion was of r-onsiderable length and dealt in de tail with the various phases of the case. ’ It was f>ased on the third defense of Voight, that the company is part of a trust. Ho started out with the proposition that the Con tinental Company is within the pro hibition of the Sherman ant, which, he said, is clear from the facts set forth iJT its defense. He then went on to show that this corporation is the representative of combination which would have the effect not on ly of restraining, but of monopo lizing the sale and manufacture of paper. 31 * 1 9 1 QQLUMBIA, 8 0.
