sii.es ??r the case.
Syracuse. Sept. 20.-The case of ('. A Whelan ?
Co. ngalrst th? American Tobacco Company was
begun In tht? oily to-day before Attorney-General
Hancock. Joseph H. Choat?. Ralph Oakley and
Colonel W. W. Fuller appeared for the Tobacco
Company and H. F. Einstein, E N. Wilson nnd M.
S OtaHermann r? presented the local fighters f??r ar
open market.
In the opnclng argument Mr. Wilson to'd of the
combination of the hi? cigarette manufacturer?.
He ?aid the method wa? to fix a list price for
cigarettes. The wholesaler cou'.d obtain no ad?
vantage in selling their cigarettes. If he !ian?lle.l
cigarette? to their satisfaction then at the ml of a
certain period he got X, cent? a thousand, but If
he ?'?Id to any one who wa? blacklisted or ?lid any?
thing that was objectionable he did not ?;et any
?(inimlsslon.
Mr. Hain-ock asked If there was any restraint
on buying from other dealers. He was told that
there was, and that the moment other dealers were
pttronlzcd the i.gent of the company walked In
and shut off supplie? of the company's cigaretl??.
Colonel Fuller apswered the petition for the To
bi. ... Company. He said that since the formation
of the American Toba?ai?o Company the price of
cigare:!,-.? had been lower to dealers, and In some
??a??? lower to consumer*.
He??ala to the petition followed In rapid order,
an?l It was asserted that th" company manufac?
tured MHOmOOO pound! of tobacco to U.OM.000 pounds
manufactured Into cigarett<?s. The authorized cap?
ital of th-- company was M6,BD,(aB, bul only about
|29,00O,4B0 hnd h-en Issued. It had sold to Jobber?
direct, an?l not by consignments ari'l then through
agencies. Healers in paper cigarettes were not re
i|inr.-.| to enter into a contract, but did so of their
own free will.
Then Joseph H .Choate argued for the method of
business ?if the company, and said it was upheld
by repeated ?boisions of th<? ?'.'iirt ?if Appeal!
this State. The Attorney-Oeneral did Ml sit here
us M apostle of socialism or the friend of sore
headed rivals In trade. The National Tobacco
Company, )>?? aald, was the real movei In tht
Il was not C. A Whelan & Co. Th? petition was
made Ly <?eo'g? Whelan. a paid employa of the
National Tobacco Company, th-- most lormldsh'?
rival of the American Tobaccn Company. Il was
not tiu- peuple who wanted ?h?' tertio.-i?e annulled,
The pom: which Mr. Choit- mau was that the
Supreme ?'?'un had no power ti> annul the charter
It was for the Legislature, and the Legislatur? ha I
neglected to provide for the method This was not
n combination, he said, bul a complete buy-out. He
did not think any lawyer w< ill '? ? pat Use >>t? rep?
utation by calling that Illegal. Mr. Choat? Mid
that If he. himself, as an Individual, was rich enough
t?-. buy up every tobacco buBneas In the country,
there waa nothing In the lawi of the State o? New?
V.irk 10 say II was 111? gal
As to th? rompany'a right to sell to anybody H
? ihar was not ll>g?I It could ?tup Belling. 1f
ii had a min i to, aid make people buy only Na?
tional ?igarettes. He hoped M: Hancock would
smoke ftome of th? National cigarette?. If would de- I
elle this i-mc
Mr. Einstein argue<1 next. He compared this com?
pany to the Whiskey, Oil, Sugar and Qaa lru?t? |
Whenever they got before th? ? urt? they wire |
called Illegal. The conslgnrtif nt agreements were
similar They were only a method to kill competi?
tion, to carry out a conspirar?. Men had !?? >-i?
driven ou! of th<- bualneai by the company'i rule*,
and the trust was oppressive and tyrannical.
When the argument was elided It wa? agreed to
put In briefs Inside of thirty da\.? a't.-r a decision
by the petitioner a? to what evlder, :g he deslr-*.! to

James D. Smlih, chairman of the Cup Commit?
tee of the New-York Yacht Cluh. The neve
challenger I? Charles R??se. at London. England,
son of fir John Kose, and a sportsman of wealth
and high social position. Mr. Rose has been bet?
ter known In the past as a racing man than as a
yachtsman, having been for .\eais a member of
the Joekey dub "f England and the BUBS?, of a
number of rr.ee horse? ){<? is also a member ? f
the Royal Yacht Bquadron, and he recently pur
chase.l the yacht Satanlta with the declare?l in?
tention of abandoning the turf and devotlnx
more of his lime to ya? h'lng.
The message which Mr. Rose sent to Mr.
Smith by cable yesterday was ?egarded by
yachtsman who were in town aa a declaration
Of Intention to challenge in the name of the
Royal Yacht .Sipiadron. It could not he consid?
ered as a Ii rrn.il challenge, which mus? be s?-nt
from the squadron in du*? form to the New-York
Ya? ht Club, When the formal challenge is re
ceiv? d it will be acted on by the entire club, not
by the ("tip Commute.-, but the notice to thf?
chairman of the committe ? may be taken as a
bar to the consideration of another challenge foi
the America's ("up before the challenge of Mr
Ros? can be considered.
MR SMITHS ANN'HN'KMKNT.
Ex-Conmio<lore Smith, wh<? has all along pooh
poohsd Ihe idea that It was "all over with the
America's Cup," was delighted when he receive?!
the message. He received the news ^?y ?able
early In th?? afternoon. It came from Mr Ros-*,
at No. 30 Hill at., Psrfcelty s.juaie, London, in
speaking .if the challenge, Mr. Smith said:
"A new challenge lor the America's Cup haa
been received 'for a match to be ealled next year
on conditions satisfactory to the America's Cun
Committee.' Observe th?- quotations. It came
by ?able this afternoon to the Americas Cup
Commlttsa from Charlea Ros?*. No .19 mii-st.,
Berkeley Square, London Mr. Rose _ a member
of the Jock?*/ ClUb Of Kngland and of the Royal
Yacht Squadron.
"The challenge, although somewhat Informal,
has been handed over to the New-York Yacht
ClUb, whi, h will receiv ? ?t : l,i\. a:-t it will be
repastad to the cluh b> Mr. R -<? In tn?> regular
form by cable at once."
Mr. Smith declared with etnphisls trat he wa*
wholly through with the Imnraven incident and
was heartily sreary of it Pnctaely speaking, he
said of thlts: "I am out o? all thai und I am about
kXhauated with interviews. I wish to say this,
how.-ver: I haven t any unkind feeling toward any
yachtsman on th?? earth or below It, nor any
yachtsman above ihe waves or beneath them."
Without ?letlnlng what h?' mean, by a true
"yachtsman' Mi. Smith bUIYted Into his inner
oldie?? in a perfect halo of goodwill toward man
Kind, now that the Am-rl-iis Cup had got a chal
I?ingi Mithin the ton mourns pre?, rib??.! by the
conditions "f the cup contest.
I>ISPI.KA?*F.I> WITH D1NRAYI?N.
Yachtsmen Of the city who were Informed of th?
new challenge late In the afternoon declared that
the haste to issue it Immediately after the un?
satisfactory ending of the ?natch between the
Defender and the Valkyrie indicated that English
yachtsmen were not pleased with the action of
Lord Dunraven and wanted to show Americans
that his feellns was not shared by other members
of the Royal Yacht .squadron The notice that
the race next year would be Balle 1 "i n conditions
satisfactory to the Amatlea'S ?'up Commute??"
was taken In SOina quartern to mean that Mr. Rose
would be willing to have ihe race over the c?urse
on which formar challenging yachta have sailed.
It was ascertained last evening that nearly all
of the prominent members of the New-York Yacht
Club were OUt Of the dty, and they probably were
Ignorant Of the latest challenge. S. Nicholson
Kane, who had been In the dty ??arly In the after
IK n, ha?l gone to Newport too ? ion to hear "f
the challenge. A. Cass Canfield and J. !.. Busk
Were als? In Newport. Commodore fv M Brown,
Irving Grlnnell, J. Frederick Tarn? and Chester
c.riswold were known to be out of the city. The
only official of the New-York Yacht Club who was
at the clubhouse In Madlson-ave. last evening
was J. v. s od lie, th*? secretary <?f the club. Mr.
(?ddle had calle 1 at the office of ex-Commodore
Smith In the afternoon and had been informed
Of the message which Mr. Smith had received.
A ?'HAT WITH BS 'RKTARY ODDUL
To B Tribune reporter irtao saw him at the club?
house last night, Mr. OddlS Bal 1:
"Mr. Smith this aft.-rnoon mentioned to me
that h?> had received a challenge from Mr. Rise
for the Amertca'a Cup, addressed to the Cup
Committee, but beyon 1 that plain statement of
fact I can t.-n absolutely nothing."
"The challenge Is yet Informal, Is It not?" he
was asked.
"Practically bo. It really amounts 11 an Inti?
mation that It is Mr. Ri?.?'? intention to challenge
for the cup, and it will be necessary to wait for
more particulars."
"Will the Near-York Yacht Club iVld a special
meeting to consider th'? challenge?"
"I should think ei. but that will depend upon
the exigencies of the case The next regular
meeting of the members is on October 24, and I
shiiuld Imagine that the question "f calling a
special meeting will dt-pen i alt.i?efher whether
Mr. Rose communicates with the club by letter
or cable."
"Don't you think that this challenge, following
so quickly as It does upon the re -ent fiasco, indi?
cates that Kngllsh yachtsmen do not altogether
relish Lord Dunraven'fl action in not starting the
i Valkyrie in the last race0"
To this Inquiry Mr. (>d?lle smilingly answered:
| "Well, yon ought to be the best Judge of that."
"But the ahort time that has been allowed to
elapse betwe'.n the Defender-Valkyri?? races and
this challenge would seem to imply that such a
feeling of dissatisfaction exist? "
"I can say nothing about that," Mr. Oddie re?
plied, and he added: "You must draw your own
??onelu?l,.r.s. I ?!?.n't ?irnw any."
THEY WANT IT BADLY
"Rut thev seem to want the cup badly, do they
not?" was the next suggestion, and to this Mr.
Oddie readily acquiesced.
"Do you think that the Defender will be deemed
fast enough to , ?mpete with the new challenger.
or will another yacht he put upon the stocks?*
Mr. Oddie was asked.
"That I cannot say; you know any one is at
liberty. If so disposed, to build yachts to compete
In th? trial races. But my opinion Is that th?? De?
fender has not been raced yet, and we have still
m ??-e what she is capable of doing at her best."
"Still. In the face of the fact that the Kngllsh
are now fully acquainted with the Defender, and
Kn,>w her sail area and dimensl ms. and as they
have fairly tr o?l grounds for deducing her capa?
bilities, and BO In all probability figure out a
better boat, does it n ?t strike y.?u as probable lhat
w shall lie -ailed upon to bull<l another b^at even
better than th.? Defender'"
"Well, you see we have a year In which 10 get
at the bottom of all these matters. To my per?
sonal ktU'Wle lite are have been building yachts
for the last thirty years, and each new boat h3S
proved fast?*r than Its predecessor; so there Is no
telling what will he the outcome of the present
i hallenge."
Referring to the controversy that had been wag?
Ing upon the outcome Of this year's International
yacht rucea, Mr Oddie said: "I think It is BS?
tr.-nely pleasant for ihe New-York Yacht Club
and American yachtsmen In general that this
challenge should arrive Jurt at this time. After
the discussions that haw- been going on during
the last w.-ek. It Is as light out of darkness I
think that the American people have grown a
little tired of the fuss over the r.\cea Just end??d."
