New YORK, May Special kilograms to
Bradstreet indicate that the general trade situa-
tion is less favorable than week ago. This is
due mainly to the partial paralysis of business
at Chicago, as we'll as to the disturbed indus
Lou;s, Baltimore and elsewhere. At Chicago
no business of a wholesale character worth men
tioning has been done, and merchants generally
are awaiting the settlement of the labor troubles.

Chicago furniture works and lumber-yard en-

they regard unjust demands. A similar

of merchandise at leading cities east and west

movement that 175 900 have struck, and that
1906 600 have received concessions without hav-

A Talk with Alexander Sullivan.

New YORK, May THE Herald this morn
ing prints an interesting interview with Alex
ander Sullivan, of Chicago. In comment
ing on the editorials of the London
papers on the Chicago riots, Mr. Sullivan
said: II have read the report with much in
terest, and some of the things said by the Lon
don press are quite remarkable The Globe
missed truth when it compared the Irish with
the alien Anarchists of Chicago. The people in
Ireland who are struggling for elfgovernment
peace and proper remuneration for labor, are
natives of Ireland, while the violent rioters who
have caused the outbreak in Chicago are not
citizens of this country. They can only be called
aliens who are in utter ignorance not only of
our institutions, but also in a great measure of
our language. Many of them have not been in
the country for any length of time, and cannot
speak word of English. They have no organ
in the English language They have come here
the victims of some fancied or real grievances in
their own land. where the remedies they be
ieved in were the TORCH the dagger and the bar
ricade."

The intellectual wOrkingmen OF this country
know that violence is not an American remedy
They also know that the working man of to-day

about by industry, sobriety and peace. The
laws of the country provide ample remedy for
every known grievance. and the people have the
power to provide additional remedies as new
grievances arise"

"About all there is of the strength of the An

"Do you know Inspector Bonfeld, Mr.. Sulli-
van2'
II know him thoroughly well. In fact. he is
my client. and am defending him in two eases
for damages, charging him with using unneces
sary severity in dealing with strikers last year
He is one of the bravest and best police officers
in the United States ! 1t is absurd to saw that
he has any hostility to workingmen. He is
workingman himself, and probably does more
work per day all the year around thans the men
who are assailing him. / am In sympathy with
the eight-hour movement, and hope to see it
succeed. The proposed reduction of time could
and should be discussed like any othef humane
proposition, and without any i'll will between en-
ployer and employe. Please say for me-" added
Mr. Sullivan, 'that the comments of the English
press rebound upon themselves. The ST. Jamess
Gazette speaks of the instigators of the trouble
as aliens. That is exactly the trouble in Ireland
Let them make the same remarks about the
aliens who are trying to ruin Ireland, and then
the case will be put in its true light"

GUARANTEED BONDS.
Decision of the Kansas Supreme Court in the
Case Of Fletcher VS.. the Atchison Company.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 9-The Supreme Court
to-day rendered decision in the celebrated in
junction case of Fletcher against the Atchison,
Topeka q Santa Fe road. An injunction had
been granted in the Wyandotte District Court, at
the instance of Fletcher. stakeholder, against
the Santa Fe paying the interest on certain
bonds issued by the Sonora railroad which had
been guaranteed by the Santa Fe. The follow
ing is the syllabus of the decision:
First-A corporation is clothed everywhere
with the powers given by its charter, and has
the capacity to carry on its business and extend
its operations in other States and countries, so
long as it does not depart from the terms of the
charter under which 1t was created.
Second-Additional powers auxiliary to the or
iginal design or purpose of corporation may be
conferred thereon by the Legislature of the State
where the corporation is created.
Third-Under the provisions of the charter of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company
OF Feb. III, 1859, and the terms of the statutes
of Kansas, if such company guarantees bond
other negotiable instrument, and takes the same
as It's own and sells it, its guarantee will be bind
ing upon the company in the hands of an limo
cent holder for value and without notice of the
origin of its title, even If the guaranty of that
particular bond or other negotiable instrument
when made, was ultra wires in that special in
stance.
Fourth-Any railroad company organized I'M
der the laws of this State may lease the road
and appurtenances of any other railroad com
pany, when the road so leased shall thereby be-
come, in operation thereof, contin uation and
extension of the road of the company accepting
the lease.
Fifth-Under its charter and the statutes of
the State, the Atchison, Topeka g Santa Fe
Railroad Company cannot only lease a Colorado
railroad, but can also lease roads in New Mex
ico Arizona and old Mexico, if each road so
leased thereby becomes. in the operation there
of, continuation and extension of the road of
the .Atchison company.
Sxth-Upon the facts disclosed In this case
the Atchison. Topeka e. Santa Fe Railroad
Company, under its charter and the statutes of
of the State, had authority to accept the stock
OF the Sonora Railway Company, of Mexico,
and guarantee its mortgage
Seventh-The statute expressly provides, if
court or judge deem it proper that the defend.
ant. or any party TO the suit. shall be heard be-
fore granting temporary injunction prayed for
that reasonable notice may be given to such
party and In the meantime, restraining order
may be issued therefore, a court or Judge
should not grant an injunction in an action in
volving large pecuniary interests, or other inn
portant matters without notice, where the party
to be affected thereby can be readily notified
except in case of extreme emergency. The hasty
and im1rovident granting of temporary iniunc-
lions without notice is not in accordance with
fair ana orderly administration of justice
