To Review “Big Fine.”

Washington, D. C., Dec. I.—That the Standard Oil company is not yet “out of the yoods," in the matter of payment of the famous >29,000,000 fine assessed by Judge Landis, was made evident when the United States supreme court reconvened today. Legal lights of the department of justice were on hand to ask for a writ of certiorari to bring up and. review the action of the circuit court of appeals in Chicago, which refused the government a rehearing of the oil trust case. This action was decided upon at a conference between Attorney-General Bonaparte and 'his associates, who are apparently determined to leave no stone unturned to secure a rehearing.
