Arguments In DetOit Street Railway
Case Made.
LANSING, Mich, May 5.-The Mcleod
act, through which Gov. Pingree Is en-
deavoring to secure municipal ownership
OF the street railways Of Detroit, is being
tested in supreme court today, on quo
warranto proceedings, instituted through
Attorney General Oren, to compel the
Detroit Street Railway commission to
show by what authority they hold their
office. Some of the best attorneys in the
state are taking part in the arguments.
The constitutionality of the act is virtu-
ally involved, and the court gave each
side four hours to present their case.
Yesterday the senate passed a bill which
had already passed the house, giving the
common council of Detroit authority to
submit to the electors the question of
municipal ownership Today, when the
senate met, there was not quorum pres
cnt but two senators who had taken early
t,ains were caught by telegraph and sum-
moned back. This made a quorum and
the senate then reconsidered yesterdays
action. 1t is understood substitute is to
be offered for the bill, which will make
submission to the people compuls sory
rather than voluntary.

Lord ROsebery Puts RumOrs Regard

LONDON May 5.-The Earl of Rose
berry, former LIBERIA prime minister and
lord president of the council, addressing
the London Liberal club tonight, and di-
lating upon the ''present universally OF
imperialism in the British possessions" !"
said he thought the government was
pursuing curious methods Of fostering
Imperialism when it placed a tax upon
Australian wines, and Offered ''on1y a

grant to Gen. Lord Kitchener of Khar-
toum in recognition of the services of The
slrdar in the Anglo-Egyptian campaign
for the reconquest of the Soudan.

had been expressed that he would quick

NO ALARM FELT HERE
BUFFALO STRIKE WON'T SPREAD
TO THIS PORT.
Grain Trimmers of CargOes Out Will
Hardly Anticipate That Their
Work May Be Followed by Nom
Union Work, But the Buffalo
Trouble Is Dem0rElizing the
Grain Shipping Trade Here.

The striking grain shovelers at Buffalo
will probably not be joined W the Duluth
grain trimmers, nor is .-.ere at present,
as far as is known, any disposition on the
part of the longshoremen of Duluth or
superior to enter on a strike at this time.
The longshoremen of Duluth will hold a
meeting tomorrow at West Duluth, and
it Is possible that the matter Of joining
in the strike may come up at that time,
though wages have already been fixed for
the season. The first Of the lumber fleet
is expected here today, and these boats
will be followed by large number of
lumber carriers next week.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
seems to be no danger of local strike by
the men engaged In handling grain, lum-
ber or coal, the strike at l5uIIalO has de-
moralized business here to some extent.
Shippers that otherwise might consider
the matter of making contracts for grain
tonnage are holding back, and there are
other features of the strike at the eastern
end of the lakes that are affecting the
situation here, principal of which is an
apparent reluctance on the part of all
shippers to negotiate for tonnage while
the strike is on.
II has not yet developed what may be
the result as affecting grain shippers here
that have contracted to ship wheat from
this point on the opening of visation.
large quantity of This grain will be
loaded in bottoms already here and now
on the way up. 1t is also possible that
no trouble will be felt by them in carry
ing out their contracts, vel, on the other
hand, the tying up of tonnage at the low
er lake ports may tend to cause delays
here that may affect contracts.
The men that work about the Duluth
and Superior docks, except the coal ham
dlers, are about evenly divided as to
union and non-uniOn. There is nothing
that has any semblance of an intention
to strike on tile part of the men under
Contractor Promberger at West Superior,
nor is there any hint from any of the
men anywhere about the head of the
under consideration.
Local marine men apprehend trouble at
no place on the lakes from freight han
dlers, except possibly at Milwaukee and
Chicago, in addition to the trouble at
Buffalo, for Contractor Connors has the
contracts at the points named, as we'll as
at Buffalo. AS far as the lumber showers
are concerned, it is possible that trouble
may take place at cleveland, Sandusky,
Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, and possibly
Milwaukee, where there are unions. AT
Buffalo and Tonawanda, however, the
lumber showers are not organized, and
they do not act in conjunction with the
longshoremen. They style themselves
stevedores, and are handled b. con-
signees.
