AFTER THE OIL TRUST. Allrd Methods of tho Standard OU Company I'ndor Investigation. Cleveland, Feb. 8. An investigation into the conduct of the Standard Oil company, under the provisions of the anti-trulaw, is progressing. A numof ber witnesses have been examined, hut little of value waa learned except as regards the oil trust John Teagle, of the oil refining firm of Scofield, fihurmer Jt, Teagle, which for yean has been fighting the Standard Oil company, declares that the Standard was constantly and systematically attempting to injure his firm. He said the Standard agents endeavored to ascertain where the salesmen of his firm obtained orders for oil. The agents would go to these intending purchasers and offer to cut the price if the oil was bought of the Standard and threaten, in case this was not done, to sell every other dealer in the same towns so cheaply that the dealers refusing could not compete with them. Mr. Teagle showed letters from customers in support of these statements. st UNITED STATES AND GERMANY. tha Effect of Fruit Prohibition. Washington, Feb. 8. Ambassador White, at Berlin, by cable to the state department, has confirmed the published report of the modified decree of the German government relative to the importation into Germany of American fruits. It is said there is noiv nothing to do on onr part bnt watch the workings of the decree as a means of testing the spirit in which it was conceived, whether it was framed with the singlu purpose of keeping ont diseased fruit, or whether it was not a mere pretext to prevent the of our fruit with that of German production. That the department has reason to suspect the latter la evinced from the report that comes to it from Consul Barnes at Cologne, in which the consul points out gross discrimination there against American haina.

'The sheriff stopped them and some of them gathered around him, hut she did not see any of them attack him. Some of them cried, "Go ahead," and a few strikers pushed past the sheriff. At that moment a shot was fired, then came another, and in an instant the volley.

He alleged that the information up-a- n which he was to be tried was inoperative and invalid, because the police court in which he had been held for trial was unconstitutional. The legality of the title of Judge Joachiinsen to a police court judgeship waa questioned on technical grounds. Judge Cook overruled the objection without comment. The point that the police courts presided over by the San Francisco judges are unconstitutional has been raised in several recent cases, hut as yet has not been passed on by the supreme court.
