the ground for several days and has
welded all his power and well known
skill, particularly in favor of silver, but

and forced to accept the result without
a protest. The opposition formally

MINNEAPOLIS, March 26.-The sensa-

the withdrawal of Senator Davis from

from Washington to his chief friends
and advisers and was as follows:

Withdrawal Of Davis Gives the Ohioan
the Minnesota Delegation.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 26.-The with
drawal Of Senator Davis from the pres
idental race was the sensational feature
of the state Republican convention.
The move, was not wholly unexpected,
but the reading of the telegram was,
nevertheless, in the nature of sur
prise to the hundreds of delegates
present. Davis withdrawal had the
effect of clearing the atmosphere, and
the Mckinley men had smooth sailing.
This was noticed when w. P. Roberts
of Hennepin county introduced rous.
ing Mckinley resolution and secured
its adoption by rising vote. a..

largest ever held in the state every

Assuming the total cost to be imme-

would take four years to complete the

thought to be the most feasible.

BAYARD WILL RESIGN.

Said He In d ssatisfed with His Poai-
tion for Several Reasons.
WILMINGTON, Del, N arch Sl.-There
is strong supposition here that Am
bassador Bayard is contemplating re-
signing. While his friends refuse to
give any particulars. they hint that
Mr.. Bayard is dissatisfied with the &C.
ton Of congress. also that the drain on
his private purse necessary to keep up
the dignity Of his diplomatic position
has reached such point that he can
no longer maintain it. The story il
not confirmed by his son, Thomas #.
Bayard. Jr., but certain developments
indicate that the ambassador means to
return to this country for at least an
indefinite period.

NO CONSOLIDATION
SUPREME COURT SITS DOWN ON
HILLS SCHEME.

10 Would Mesl . Monopoly OF Business
and Higher Rates-Hsalthy Compesi-
tion' the Best Security Of the Public's
n ghts.
WASHINGTON. March 8l.-James ].
Hill and his railroad consolidation
scheme have received backset in the
United States supreme court. The
court reversed the decision of the Min
nesota court in the Pearsall case and
upheld the statute Of Minnesota prohib-
iting consolidation. The court says
that it was competent for the state Leg
islature to limit the charter and TO s'de-,
clare that the power it had conferred
upon the Minneapolis and st. Cloud
company (now the Great Northern) to
consolidate its interest with other of
similar corporations, should not be
exercised 80 far As applicable to parallel
competing lines. inasmuch as it is for
the interest of the people that there
should be competition between parallel
railroads
1.-THE Legislature" it continues, "has
the right to assume in this connection,
that neither road would reduce its
tariff to destructive or Improbable
figure or to q point where either
road would become valueless to its
stockholders and the object OF the act
in question is to prevent such combi-
nation between the two as would con.
stitute monopoly"
"Whether the consolidation Of COM
peting lines will necessarily result in
an increase of rates, or whether such
consolidation has generally resulted in
detriment to the public, is beside the
question. Whether it has that effect
or not, if certainly puts it in the power
Of the consolidated corporation to give
it that effect-in short, put the public
ct the mercy Of the corporation.
The consolidation of these two great
corporations would. said the court, nm
avoidably result in giving the Great
Northern monopoly of all traffic in
the northern part Of the state OF Min.
nesota, al well a. of all transconti-
mental traffic north of the line OF the
Union Pacific, against which public
regulations would be but feeble pro-
lection. The act Of the legislature OF
1874, he concluded, undoubtedly re.
fiected the general sentiment OF the
public. that their best security Is in
competition. The decision OF the cir
cult court was. therefore, reversed and
the case remanded.
