NBTV ANTITRUST LAW. There la one feature of the new tar.IT law which has so far prov.Aed but little coalmen'. That future |# . ;i, c stringent anti-tout latv nohta£ted in the last live tedious, which were added ou the motion of Seuator Mergan of Alabama. This ueiv anti-trust law, as the New York Times remarks, appear# to Imre been aimed directly nt the sugar trust. The terms of It at exactly the case or Hut orgaataaHon. The oimb.natlons or# tiwro whlcli are "engagol in j m - portlug any article from any foreign country into the Hatted -bates." » U d w-ltlch aro ‘\uten.li\t to operate In ro- stralut of Lawful trade, or free comp, tltloo in lawful trade or commerce, or to Increase the market price In any part of tho United States of any ariiel'e or articles Imported ot lotemted to t# Imported Into Uie United Stans, or ot any manufacture Into which sack Im ported article enters or Is Intended lo enter."

Moreover, tho proper «y Of the prohibited coaih aati while hi transit from one state to iTtotbrr’ may be seized and e-nd-mmxl, and per son# Injured In business or property by violation* of tho law may auo’to re cover threjfold damages. "The so-called sugar trust Is “engaged In importing" great quantities of raw sugjir; it Is "Ipteodsd n> operate In re- siralnt of free, competition In lawfal trade or cornmercc," and does so oper ate; It la Intended "to Increase the mar ket price" In Hie United States of "ar ticles Imported or Intcuded to be Im ported" and of a certain "manufacture Into which such Imported article enters .or Is Intended to enter," which !* re fined sugar. it is notorious that these bare been the alma and Intentions of tlie’sugar trust, and that tlie treat’s purpose hns bee* accomplished. If any fresh cvl, dunce be needed, It Is supplied by Hie admissions and declarations of the trust's controlling officer*, themselves. In tlie testimony freely, given by them a few weeks ago before tho senatorial committee of which Mr. Gray was chairman. f The bent and quickest way to render tho trust liannlcu Is to deprive It of Its tariff protection, which can be done without sacrificing lliu revenue the treasury needs. But If this cannot lie done, we do not doubt that the adinlu istration will push the new anti-trust law for all It is worth. y«t men continue to rnourn ad those with- out hope, and trey have worn the seat# or Ui'ir ironfiers thr«Mi!x*ar shouting: relief, relief! * 'Fa this ailed you any 8JUDCKINBIDG&’8 DEFEAT. llie division of the vote opposed to die return of Breckinridge to copgrew came near being a fntal dhrluion. Ow ens’ majority over him is very small, though tho total majority against him runs up into the thousands. The force of tho rebuke administered to thin un worthy representative of the, people Is hardly lessened by tho fact that lie nar rowly missed a renom(nation that would have been claimed by him to be a “vindication.” Tlie man’s position Is a pitiable one, oven though It lie the position Into which he should have been forced. He Is not merely a defeated candidate. He was Just u» much on trial before his constituents as when before the Jury In Washington. That Jury declared him guilty of certain acls, and his con stituents now declare that tho most eloquent, most useful, most popular mau in tho slate too deeply disgraced by those acts to louger represent them in congress. Over him they prefer a man fur less brill,aut, with tar less ua* paclty for lawfulness to them, for tho single reason that lie is morally a bet ter man. We doubt whether any man In our history has been driven out of public life carrying so great a burden of shame. JUDGE CRISP AND COU JOHN f, STONE. *5* ™ to * 01 Uie Telegraphi Judge ?

Admitting that the tariff bill passed by congress is not cxantly what the people of the South wanted—didn’t every mem ber of Georgia’s* delegation vote for the first bill—and stand out for It ’till the last? What more could t.h*y do? If the eleven members of the house from this state had been Populists, could they, unaided, have passed a sliver bill, or made the tariff to suit themselves? If they could have done no more than the Democrats did; If our members did their duty—why change them? * If the Democratic administration In Georgia has been satisfactory; If our people have pros- pered under It—why change it? In every state where the Populists have secured any foothold, their cry has been, reform! reform!” They controlled South Carolina several years, but I have not, as yet, seen wings sprouting on Its citizens. They have split into two factions over there, and each Is making desperate at tempts to "reform" the other. Ye Gods! Dook at Colorado, with its Populist governor, Waite. As a "reformer,’' Waite Is a howling success. He Is the first gov ernor that ever "reformed” his state from a decent community Into 1 what, at times, Is an ungovernable mob! Rabl for "re form!" Robt.

Staterooms and Dories Smashed and One Vessel Abandoned. , New York, Sept. 16.—The Anchor Line steamer Italia, from Mediterranean ports, experienced a hurricane on September 8. The wind began to blow hard on the even ing of Septembsr 7 and gradually creased tn force until 3 o’clock the next afternoon, when It was found'necessary to heave the ship to, that she might rttle easier. A couple of stay sails were set to steady the rolling steamer. .The gale developed Into a hurricane and at 6 p. m. the steering chain parted and the st^»*ner fell Into the trough of the sei. Before the hand-gear could be shipped, a. .tremen dous sea boarded the vessel on. the. p->rt side and swept everything movable.from the decksv Life boat Nos. 1 and 3 were stove into klndlnlg wood and No. 6 wju carried away. The doors of the smokirg room and hospital were smashed and the copper pipes along the deck which supply steam to the donkey engines and wind lasses were twisted into fantastic shapes. The engine room sky light was broken and much water passed into the engine room. A quantity of water also found Its way into the after-aloon, but beyond wetting carpets and eoahJMns the dam age done was trifling. As soon as the hand-steering wheel was fixed up the ship was again headed to the swell and rode out the gnle In safety. The WKson Line steamer Hindoo, Capt. Jame Douglass, also encountered- the tall end of the same hurrican, but escaped 1th the loss of part of her cattle fit- tings. The La Champagne also had a voyage full of Incidents. On the 11th a three- ir-nMed vessel flying a signal of distress sighted to the southward. At her main mast was the inverted signal "N. which means "I am sinking.” The Frenchman at onco altered his cojrao nn i elided around th*» vessel. At her life was to be seen on board. A lifeboat In charge of M. Rotte, the second lieu tenant, was lowered end sent to the vessel. When they returned they reported the vessel was the Hakon Jarl from Chrle- tiansand. with a deckload of lumber. Her bold was filled with water and she was kept afloat by her deck load alone. There was no one on board. Tlie sails had be ?n furled and wheels lashed. Tlje captain had taken all his charts and Instruments and valuable, and the crew hod left none of their clothlng.l Lieut. Rotte wan g.ure, from the general appearance of things, tfhat the boat had not been deserted has tily. The vessel was sighted In latitude 50 degrees, 3 minutes north and longitude 32 degrees, 49 minutes west Paris meridian On the 14th the rteamer Nertto tvai sighted around on the southeast point of Sable Island. The Nerlto belongs to the BnfOMi Steam Navigation Company was bound from Sunderland to Halifax. She floated the signal. “Am ta distrera and need help.” La Champagne stopped her engines and asked If the Nerlto’s people wanted to abandon her. They re plied that they did not and sent a boat to the La Champagne, asking to have dispatch sent to Halifax from New York on the mean.ship’h arrival, asking for a?- elfltance. Those in the boat reported that there were no passengers on the Nerlto. She had a crew of twenty-seven, Includ ing her officers. She had run aground on the morning of the Ulh In a heavy fog. Capt. Liurent says the Nerlto .was In t very dangerous position. Her stern wai so high out of the water that her'sere/, was plainly visible. If a high south wlnj would opring up rhe would certainly jp to pieces, he thought! The remainder oi the voyage was with out accident. Amon£ the passengers u the La Champagne were James Fargo Wefts, Fargo & Co., Mr. J. Hargis tj Drexel. Harges & Co. and Alexander S&j, vlni, the actor.
