tinuing in the Northwest, now extend south
ward through the middle plateau. In the
central West and upper lake region light

change in temperature. On the Pacific
coast conditions are more practically I'M
changed. with the exception of marked
rise in pressure. Cold weather continues in
the northern portion and there was more
light rain in California The low area will
continue northeastward. causing rain or
snow in the north Atlantic States. and it

lower temperature by night Fair weather
is indicated for the remaining districts. with
slight changes in temperature, except in
Montana, where it will grow warmer. Fresh
to brisk east to south winds will continue
on the Atlantic coast, shifting to brisk
northwesterly by night.

THE LATE MIR. GARLAND.
How He Entered Into Supreme Court
Practice After the War.


Former Senator and Attorney General
Garland who died suddenly while address
ing the Supreme Court yesterday, was a
genial and kindly as well as an able man.
He was generally regarded as one of the
leading lawyers Of the country. Originally
a Henry Clay Wing, being a Kentuckian by
birth, he opposed secession, but when Ii
came he went with his people. AT the close
of the civil war he found that among other
disabilities his course had imposed upon him
was dcbdTment from practice in the Supreme
Court CT the United States. a test oath be-
ing then required of all practitioners before
that tribunal. OF course he could not take
it. even after his pardon by President john
son. How ne determined to test the matter
and the result is told interestingly in little
book entitled Experiences in the Supreme
Court which he published last summer. II
follows:
In July, 1865, after the row between the
States had subsidized. ! called on President
Johnson with much amiabiity and requested
pardon for my deeds of commission and
emission in that row, and. seconded by the
efforts of my constant and steadfast friend.

esting Eastern capitalists in a plan which

$40 G00, 600 will be in preferred stock and $780,
OO0,G00 be common stock, negotiations are
pending for the amalgamation of all the
important factories in the United States.
Chicago houses whose names figure in the
proposed consolidation are said to include
James S. Kirk & Co., n. K. Fairbank Com
pany Armour soap works, Swift g. Co,

ley Company. Proctor & Gamble, Cincin-
natl; b. 4. Babbitt, Philadelphia; James

dominate the market for a number OF other
products manufactured by the same fac
tories, including perfumes cosmetics and

RETURN OF PROF. KNAPP.
He Visited the Orient as Agent of the
Agricultural Department.

SAN FRANCISCO Feb 3.-Prof. S. A.
Knapp who went to the Orient some
months ago as the confidential agent of Sec
rotary Wilson, of the Department Of Agri-
culture, has reached this city on his way
home. His mission was first to gather seeds
of staple agricultural products for sowing
in the Southern States, and second, to pro-
mote the export trade of the United States
in certain lines of industry. He returns well
satisfied with the result of his labors. He
found in Japan rice seed much superior to
that used in the South and also several new
forage plants and fruit trees. He has also
arranged to ship samples of American prod
ucts to various Eastern countries. He Wis
tied the Philippines and does not consider
the situation there so critical as has been
reported, as he thinks Aguinaldo's strength
is greatly overestmated.

TRIES CONTINUES.
Tin-PIate Trust to Control steel Bill

bine" of Soap Makers.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-According to a local
financial news agency capitalists largely in
terested in the American Tin-plate Company
are behind the organization of the new
billet steel combination. The billet combina-
ton is created to work in harmony with
the tin-plate company. The tin-plate COM
pany has also effected an agreement with
Carnegie and the Federal Steel Companies
to supply no one with billets excepting
them. The company has also acquired small
er plants not included in the federal COM
bination, thus affording a practical
monopoly.
WHEELING, w Va, Feb. S.--The billet
combine being promoted by Moore Bros, of
Chicago, organizers of the tin-plate COM
bine, has practically secured control of the
Aetna-Standard Iron and Steel Company,
with it's large steel plants at Aetnaville
and Mingo Junction. Options on the con-
troll of the stock, which is $3,7C 900, has been
secured by the promoters of the combine.
The same people are now negotiating with
the Wheeling Iron and Steel Company for
the requirement of it's large plants in Ben
wood and Wheeling. Some time ago the
billet people took options on the Bellaire
very soon. About ST, 100000 figures in these
three deals. and when they are closed it is
believed fully $40J0O00 in cold cash will be
paid over to the Wheeling people controlling
the companies purchased or to be pur-

months ago for scandaous frauds in con-
Quoting public works. The findings of this
court-lnartial have never been published;
accepted as certain that he was found
guilty. as was widely reported, and as the
evidence rendered well-nigh certain Delay
cepted with public patience; but delay
ought to continue no longer. A suspension
of punishment much longer by the war de-
partment will breed the public conviction
that army rings and personal and social
influence are strong enough to defeat the
ends of discipline and save men from the
consequences of acts which ought TO bring
them to the penitentiary.
