Denver April Is. on which date, also, SEN
ator Tillman of South Carolina will ap-
pear to address the Democracy. In call
ing the State committee to order to-day
Frank Arbuckle, chairman, made brief
address in which he denied the accuracy
of a recent press dispatch from New York
which quoted him as favoring the financial
policy of President Cleveland. He read
his letter to the members of the commit
tee in which he declared himself a silver
man regardless of the action of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. In this
connection he continued to say:
81 now reiterate the sentiment contained
in my letter to you and hope that our con-
vention will elect men to represent us at
the National convention who are as good
Democrats and as good silver men as the
delegates will be from Virginia, Missis-
sippi, Texas, Missouri and the other South
ern States, all of which are Democratic.
l venture to repeat what l have said be-
fore that the Democratic party contains
80 per cent of the silver forces of the
country, and our party gives five times
more strength to silver than the Repub-
ican and Popullst parties combined"
A resolution recommending the appoint
ment of Chairman Arbuckle as State men,
ber of the National committee was de-
feated.

Justice Brown Reads a Most
Important Decision by the
Supreme Court.
MONOPOLIES CANNOT RULE.
An Opinion Also Rendered in &
Similar Case From the State
Of Kentucky.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30.-The
in the Great Northern Railroad Company,
to prevent a consolidation OF that corpo-
ration with the Northern Pacific had a
successful issue to-day when Justice Brown
announced the opinion OF the Supreme
Court OF the United States.
The case came up from the Circuit Court
of the Eighth Circuit, which ruled against
PearsaIl He contended that the propo-
sition to unite the two railroads was IN
violation of the law of Minnesota enacted
in 1874, which prohibited the consolidation
of competing lines of the road.
On the other hand it was the contention
of the managers that the law was viola
lation OF the provisions of the charter of
original link of the Great Northern line,
authorizing it to lease or purchase other
lines of the road. The question before the
Supreme Court of the United States, said
Justice Brown, was whether or not the law
Of 1874 was an impairment of the vested
rights of the Great Northern Company.
Discussing the meaning of the term of
vested right the opinion stated that in
the view of the court it did not extend be-
yond a right acquired by or under exc
cuted contracts.
1t was within the power of the Legisla-
ture under a general permission such as
is expressed in the Minneapolis and ST.
Cloud charter to require other roads to de-
clare that it shall not be used to acquire
competing lines and thus construct a mo-
nopoly, which for 300 years had been held
by the courts in England and this country
to be odious and against public policy
The Judgment of the Circuit Court was re-
versed and the case remanded with in
structions to proceed in accordance with
the opinion.
Justice Field and Justice Brewer dis
sented from the Judgment of the court
Justice Brown also read the opinion of
the court in a similar case OF the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Compa VS..
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, appealed
from the Court of Appeals in that State.
The Louisville and Nashville had ar.
ranged to purchase control of the Chesa-
peake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad
Company, which would give it practical
monopoly of the railroad business between
Louisville and Nashville, and the State
brought suit for an injunction to prevent
the carrying out of the contract on the
ground that it would be violation of the
law of the State forbidding the consolida-
ton, by lease or parchase, OF competing
lines OF roads within the State.
The injunction was issued by the inferior
court and sustained by the Court of Ap-
peals. This judgment the Supreme Court
of the United States affirmed. The opin-
ion declared it to be the opinion of the
court that not only was the Louisville and
Nashville Company forbidden to purchase,
bat by the constitution of Tennessee, OF
which the Chesapeake. Ohio and South
western was a citizen, it was incompetent
to;sen. The conclusion of the court was
Concurred in Justices Brewer and White.

D. Y. andrews, farmer, who claims to
live near Milwaukee. Wis, was bunkoed
out of $1,000 Friday by New York green
goods men. About month ago Andrews
received the usual circulars from New
York. He went through all the formali-
ties of writing and te!egraphing and
finally started. He was instructed 70 stop
at Phillipsburg, N. j. There he was met
by the steerer and taken to Easton, Pa,
and the steerer said he would show him
how easy it was to pass the greengoods.
When Andrews was worked up to the
proper pitch the steerer brought him to
this place. They reached here at 1904
yesterday.
A carriage was waiting. In it was the
second swindler. Andrews was taken for
a drive in the country. The drive was ex-
tended SO that the carriage reached the
station just as the train was about to pull
out The box exchange was worked on
Andrews in the furry OF catching the
train. Andrews. with the box of cut pa
per, had to jump to get on the train. He
discovered the swindle when a few miles
out and alighted at Pennington Junction
and came back, but the men and the car
raige had disappeared. Andrews would
not make complaint to the police, as he
was afraid he might be arrested.

Final Agreement Made With the
Business Mems League of
St. Louis.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE TICKETS
There Is Much Speculation as to How
Long the Great Gathering
Will Last.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 30.-The hall
sub-comm mlttee of the Republican National
Committee met here to-day to make final
ness Mems League.
The committee is composed of Chairman
Thomas H. Carter of Montana (ex-officio),
Joseph H. Manley of Maine, William
Hahn of Ohio, Henry c. Payne OF Wiscon-
SIN, General Powell Clayton Of Arkansas,
Ex-Governor Joseph Fifer of Illinois, Gene
raj ]. S. Clarkson Of Iowa and Richard G..
Kerens of Missouri. Senator Payne Of
Wisconsin is represented by Hon. John
NJ. Ewing of Milwaukee.
After an informal exchange of views on
the chances of the candidates the COM
mittee went into executive session at 1890
A. NJ. The printing and distribution of
tickets was the first matter considered.
This brought out wide variance of views
on the probable length of the convention.
Friends of one leading candidate seemed
to think only three days would be con-
sumed in getting a nomination, while
those of the other extreme thought tickets
were necessary for six days, one mem ber
from the far East limiting at anecessity for
ten days before the right man could be
named.
1t was finally decided that one ticket
should admit to all sessions. The distri-
button of press tickets is given to the local
press committee, but all applications for
press tickets and of tickets of courtesy to
distinguished men should be made to Ser
geant-a Arms T. E. Byrnes of Minneapo-
lis. All other applications for admission
must be made to the various State and
Territorial delegations. Tickets will also
be issued to the National Council of the G.
A. R. for distribution at their discretion.
Tickets will be issued on Monday, June Is,
at the convention auditorium by Sergeant

Passage Of a Bill Approving a
Compromise and Settlement
of State Claims.
PETER AND THE BOND ISSUES.
Objection Made to the Investigation
Proposed by the Kansas
Statesman.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3O.-The
bill to approve a compromise and settle
ment between the United States and the
State of Arkansas, arising ont of mutual
claims for the principal and interest due
on State bonds held by the United States
and for lands claimed by the State under
the swamp lands act and other acts, was
taken up in the Senate to-day and was
passed after a debate lasting a couple of
hours. No other business was transacted
except the passage of some bills on the
calendar that were unobjected to, includ-
ing one for public building at Indian
apolis to cost 81, ,OO0, 900. When the resolu-
tion providing for a select committee to
investigate the facts and circumstances of
the recent bond issues were reached OBJ
lection to its immediate consid deration was
made by Hill of New York and Platt of
Connecticut, but PETER of Kansas, the
author Of the resolution, gave notice that
he would ask for its consideration to-
morrow. The two Colorado Senators.
Teller and Wolcott, showed great earnest
ness in their desire to have the resolution
taken up.
When Peffer's resolution of February II
for select committee on the subject of
recent sales of bonds was reached Hill sug-
gested that it 60 over, as it would give rise
to debate.
PETER moved that it be taken up for con-
sideration.
Hill objected. Teller asked Hill to con-.
sent to have the resolution taken up on
Wednesday.
While Hill was considering what re-
sponse he should make to Teller's sugges-
ton Platt (R.) of Connecticut interposed
an objection to any unanimous consent
being given when there were so few Sem
ators present.

we will take up this resolution very soon,
if not to-day"
"Why not take it up now?" said VOL

Cockrell Cd of Missouri.
1.-THE time of the Senate" said Wolcott
"can just as well be taken up in the dis
cussion of the question of the sale of bonds
as in the discussion of many of the propo-
sitions that have been taken up within
the last few weeks"
PETER gave notice that at the conclusion
of Georges speech on the Dupont case to-
morrow he would ask the Senate to pro-
ceed to the consideration of his resolution.

APRIL 5TH rs THE DATE.
Easter Sunday Occurs on the Same Day All
Over the Wide, Wide
WorId

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3o.-
Easter Sunday occurs on the same day the
world over. A statement published that
Easter Sunday occurred this year week
earlier in San Francisco than elsewhere IN
the world is declared by scientists here TO
be ridiculous, based, perhaps, upon the
erroneous supposition that the astrono-
mical full moon had anything whatever to
do with fixing the great church festival.
If that assumption had been in any way
warranted it would be Easter throughout
the country west of Pittsburg. The date
of Easter depends on the calendar moon
and not on the true astronomical moon,
which generally occurs one or two days
earlier, and this fact has led to many mis-
understandings in the past. According to
the regulations of the council OF Nice,
Easter must fall on the 14th day of the
Paschal moon, being that of which the
14th day falls on, or next follows the day
of vernal equinox. Easter is fixed wholly
by the ecclesiastical calendar and neither
by the lunar nor the solar year as such.
In 1896 it occurs April 5.

PARDRiDGE'S PARTING PLUNGE.
Before Retiring He Buys -Four Million
Bushels of Wheat in the CHICAGO

CHICAGO, ILL, March 3O.-Ed Pard-
ridge, the millionaire plunger in the
wheat pit of the Board OF Trade, and the
most conspicuous figure in the speculative
line since the days of "Old Hutch, :"
bought 100000 bushels of wheat to-day
and says he will now retire from the
market, having no further interest in it.
He said he was a sick man physically and
would have to give up speculating. His
appearance bore out his statement as to
his i'll health. His buying of such an i'm
mense line OF wheat was merely to cover
his short sales so that be could Quit the
market even. The market in consequence
was very much agitated and the price rose
from 631c to 6i5sc bushel while the re-
firing plunger's brokers were clamoring
for his 100000 of short wheat. When
they had secured all they wanted the price
dropped to 63Lc.

TEXAS PACIFIC TINS.
The supreme Court Uterr,tles the Inter-
state Comm sion.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 3O.-In
the case of the Texas Pacific Railroad
Company against the Interstate Com
merce Commission, involving the order of
the commission requiring the railroad
company to carry freight arriving at New
Orleans from foreign country to
San Francisco at the same rate as
freight originating at New Orleans,
or at other points in the United States,
shipped via New Orleans, the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day over
ruled the commission. The court con-
cluded that the com mission was bound to
consider all the conditions governing the
carrying of traffic and was not bound to
any hard and fast rule. The interests of
others besides shippers at Atlantic ports
are to be considered by the commission
and when thus considered the court is of
the opinion that the order of the commits
sion will be found to be unwarranted.
The judgment of the courts below, sus-
tanning the order of the commission, was
reversed, and the Circuit Court directed to
dismiss the bill against the railroad COM
pany. From the judgment in the last case
Justice Harlan dissented. Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice Brown united with
Justice Harlan in dissenting from the
judgment of the court.

PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCEs
Uncertainty Regarding the Choice of the
Republicans.


NEW YORK, N. Y, March 3O-The
Herald this morning says: A careful can
vass made by correspondents of the Her
aid in every State and Territory in the
Union to determine the Presidential pref
erences of the delegates to the Republican
National Convention, which will be held
in st. Louis on June 16, shows that on the
first ballot Mckinley will poll more than
double the vote of any other candidate,
and that he will fall only sixty-tvo votes
short of the nomination.
AS nearly as it is now possible to make
forecast of the situation, the outcome OF
the convention is still uncertain, and it is
possible that after all a struggle will be
precipitated that will result in the selec-
ton of some candidate whose name does
not now appear on the list. The total
number of delegates will be 900, and 455
will be required to nominate. Mckinley
will probably go into the convention with
393 votes on the first ballot. Reed will be
second in point Of strength with 50 votes,
including solid New England. Morton
will stand third with SO, and Allison will
have only 38.
