This enis the campaign against the cotton seed oil trust, which has been carried on in both th9 State and Fed-eral courts for some months, when the attorney gencraPof the State filed information ag'alnst the owners and managers of the oil mills for violating the State anti trust iaws.

These were first filed at Jackson, the capital, and the cases were thrown out of court on that account, and were then filed at the several towns where the mills are situated. The Legislature was asked to remedy the defects in the existing State law in order to enable Attorney General McClung to prose cute. Judge Niles, of the United States Court, in his charge to the grand jury, inveighed severely against trusts and combinations and expressed himself in forcible and vigorous language in oppo sition to combinations in relation to trade and for the infringement of the Ho has now quashed all suits against the oil mills on the ground that the indictments do not charge any vio lation of the law. poruStte The Louisiana Legislature Takes Hold of the Matter in Earnest New Orleans, May 14 The Port Chalmette investigation was the sub ject of a concurrent resolution which passed the House of Representatives in a very few minutes today. The resolution is an unqualified en dorsemcnt of Governor Heard's position as to the British mule camp at Port Ch'almette.

Tho Governor has been anxiously waiting for some official de claration from Washington as vhat the administration is going to the matter. He does not-believe tha. Pearson made out as strong a case against the British Government as he might have done, and he thinks Lieut Crowder discovered a great many things while he was in New Orleans. The resolution adopted by the House, and which will be passed by the Sen ate, authorizes the Governor to take such further steps a he may deem proper; but it is cot known what steps can be taken. The Governor is investigating the status of te care in the event the Federal Government refuses to adopt his Tiew of the case; and 'as soon as he determines what is next to this he will probably let the Legislature know In the shape of a special message, when the Legislature will undoubtedly authorise him to take whatever action he deems proper find legal, whether It is the break in -r np of the 'British camp by force i imply an appeal to Cor.gre;s.

Tho Senate pasrsed tonight unanimously the resolution alieady adopted by the House, approving the action of Gov ernor Heard in the Camp CJhaLraette affair and pledging him the co-opwation of the legislature in any action he" may take in regard to the British camp. A BEET SUGAR VIEW The Trust Absorbs AN the Tariff Concessions Washington, May 14. Directly opposite views on the Cuban sugar situation were expressed today before the Senate Cuban relations sub-committee investigating the ownership of sugar and lands in the island. Manuel Rionda, of Czernikow, Mac-Dougall Company of Now York, resumed his testimony. He said his firm had purchased some 14,000 tons of -Cuban now stored in the island.

Of this 8,000 tons were for the Arbuckle refinery, 4,000 for the Revere refinery, and 2,000 for the McAhan refinery none for the trust. In return for advancine -monev. his firm had agreements with, five Cuban companies to handle their sugars. These companies were all Cuban concerns except the Tuinucu, (New York corporation, and their aggregate product was tons. hey also handled the output of the Rsarie Company, a new York corporation whose output was 12,000 tons, but they had no agreement with that company.

One-fourth of last year's Cuban crop, he said, had been handled "by his firm. Heyward G. Leaviti president, manager and states agentof the Standard Beet Sug Company, kt Leavitt, was the next witness. He took direct issue with tho preceding witness. Mr.

Rionda, who had stated, that Cuba and all cane sugar producing countries received tha benefit of th4 countervailing duty. Air. Leavitt declared tVat the of that advantage, amounting to -27 cents per 100 pounds of Cubai sugars, h.ad been absorbed by the American refineries. lie proceeded to argue thai: the refiners would also absorb the alditional advantage of 33 cents per huiwred weight, which would be given under the proposed vjuuna reciprocity.

The appointment of Wu Ting! Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, and Matfdarin Shen as a commission to remodel the Chinese laws of commerce in accordance with those of eastern nations is probable.

Conger, the Ameican minister, has warned the throne against infraction of the treaties in respect to the 'reedom of the Chinese to practice Christianity. This warning is contained in a strong protest, addressed to the board of for eign affairs, against the G6vernor of Shan Tung for expelling a student from the new provincial college because he refused to worship Confucius. tMr. Conger Teconimehds a modification the college rules, and' says that such serious opposition to reform as instanced "by this interference with freedom of conscience will certainly precipitate revolt: that will endanger the government.

New Orleans, May 14. Lamar C. Quintero, consul of Costa Rico at New- Orleans, arrived here today Xrom Snn Jose, tho capital of that republic, where he went to witness the inauguration of Ascension Esquival, the new president of the republic. Mr. Quintero "3 in San Jose the day a revolution "waa said to have occurred '(here in the interest of Senor Demetrlo Yglesia3.

The revolution was a 'purely military affair, organized by a cahal of officers anl without popular support, and was sup pressed by President Yglesias in a- day. The new president, Don Ascension Esquival, was the candidate of the outgoing president. His opponent was Don Maximo Fernandez, candidate of the Republican rarty. The Costa Rican congress, which declared the result of the popular election, met at San Jose and by a vote of 27 to 4 declared Esquival elected president. A few days aXterwards and before the inauguration the soldiers in two of the quarteles or barracks, whic'li included most of the army, repudiated the action of t.

people and congress and declared president Don- Demetrio Yglesias, tlu minister of war and a brother of tj outgoing president. This pronunciaruento surprised no one more than Don Demetrio, Who had favored Esquival for president, and he went to the 'barracks and tried to induce the troops fq "listen to reason. General Arias, wio xraa dn command of the army, made him a prisoner and declared tlhat he woold' take it himself if the minister of war would not accept presidency. In the meanwhile President Raphael Yglesias appealed to the people to support the government against the revolution, and they flocked to an Jose by the thousand from all quarters aird tendered him their assistance. The mutineers captured the artillery barrack, Major Cordas, the commander bein? killed.

Captain Leopold Pfccheco, wiho was in charge of the barracks, was also killed. In the meanwhile the military barracks were eurroanded by the cavalry, which remained reinforced by police and armed The president was 'preparing for tie bombardment of the troops when pGeaemI Arlat. finding the revolution a failure, surrendered and released Jmetrio Yglrsia and his other prisoners. General Arias ami his five sons, command-ins- the infantryt Colonel Air a res, commanding the artillery, and ten other orncers and nrty soldiers, were then locked up as prisoners and traitors, and the troops were placed nnder the command of loyal officers. After -the inauguration the people who had congregated in San Jose retimed to their homes and business became irornial.

HEAVY LOSS Few GovernmentTroops Survive a Recent Battle New Orleans, May 14. Full reports of the recant battle at Chiriquita be tween tho government forces and the revolutionists state that the government lost 273 men killed or died of their wound3. Of the entire force which landed at Chiriquita only 6eventy-three returned clivo to Bocas, most of them wounded, and of these twenty-two hare since died. The revolutionists lost five killed and seventeen wounded. Both sides are awaiting reinforcements for another battle.

Th order of the Colombian govern- r.ment prohibiting any launches from operating near tne revolution forces Ms great hardships on the fruit trade. This order was promulgated to keep the rebels from capturing the launches and bringing their soldiers from Chiriqui City, Monkey Point and other lagoon ports to Bocas. The Tesnlt of the order has been that American vessels trading vrith the porta, instead of visiting one or two of them -as they were wont to do, now have to make the circuit of all the lagoon ports. The result of this order was that the Alabama had to go to sevent ports to Lcomplete her cargo of 19,000 bunches of bananas, while heretofore she had to visit only one or two. Tho Colombian gunboat General Pin-wm haa been missing for some days, and it is reported that she haa been captured by tg revolutionists.
