COMBINE GOES
Judge Tuthill Refuses to Enjoin
Pullman and Wagner
Companies 1
From Completing Their Consoli-
datlon---No Restraint Of {
Trade Shown,
Because the Car Companies Are
Merely in the Service Of. !.
the Railroads. &

CHICAGO, Dec. 80.-Judge Tuthill Of
the superior court refused to issue the
injunction prayed for by Truman A.
Taylor. a stockholder in the Pullman
Palace Car company, to prevent the
merging Of that company and the Wag-
ner Palace Car company under the
name of the Pullman company. In
his ruling Judge Tuthill declared that
the allegations of the bill did not con-
tain sufficient grounds for the issuance
of the injunction. It was claimed in
the bill Of complaint that through the
consolidation of the companies, mo-
nopoly of the sleeping car bushes would
be secured in violation of the anti
trust act. Judge Tuthill held that the
sleeping car business was in the control
Of the railroad companies, and combi-
nation between them would have to be
shown before any monopoly of the bust
ness could be declared. The sleeping
car companies, said Judge Tuthill, are
but the railroads acting under con-
tracts, as do the other employees Of the
railroads.
The transfer of the stock of the Pull
man company for the purchase of the
Wagner company property can now be
contaminated, with no fear of judicial
interference. The decision of the court
sustained the contentious advanced by
the counsel for the Pullman company.

and said:

celebrate this great function, and l
wish for myself grandeur and a long
reign to the greater glory of God. My
successor will be young as compared
with my own age, and will have time
to see many glories of the papacy and
the church"
Later Leo clearly designated Cardinai
Girodamo Maria Gotti, project of tn.

relics, as his successor. Cardinal Gotti,
the famous Genoese monk, is a man of
great piety and modesty. Now about
"a years Of age, he has always lived the

Knox, a silver republican, railroad
commissioner, to succeed Judge Mills
Rep. term expired. AS the last
legislature wiped out the provision for
minority representation, the governor
was under no obligation to appoint a
republican.-St Cloud Times.
Techinally, perhaps, Governor
Lind did not violate the letter of
the law, but he certainly did not
conform to its spirit-it being that
the board should be non-partisan.
A republican legislature created the
board originally in the interest of
the people, and that it might be
more effective, made it non-partisan,
and so it has been until now. But
Governor Lind, elected governor,

ever held) by republican votes,
has never allowed an occasion GO
by to serve notice on the republi-
cans that he has no use for them
under his administration. 1t is all
very we'll for him to make the most
friends possible of the mammon of
unrighteousness during the re-
mainder of his brief opportunity.

FENIAN ACTIVITY.
Large Quantities of Dynamite,
Lyddite and Ammunition
Being Stored
In a Few Remote Districts OF
Vermont and Maine Near
the Border.
Also Stated That an Efficient
Ambulance Corps Is Being
Organized.

New YORK, Jan. 2. "A special to The
Times from Burlington, VT, says:
It is reported that the Fenians are
engaged in storing large quantities Of
dynamite, lyddite, ammunition and
supplies in few selected repositories
in remote districts in Vermont and
Maine, near the Canadian boundary.
The information comes from persons
who claim to have knowledge of tho
purchase of some Of the supplies and
others who learned of their transporter
ton by railroad, disguised as groceries.
Dynamite and other explosives have
been secured in surprisingly large
quantities and stored underground on
the Vermont border, while quantities
of canned meats have been hidden in
some large barns of sympathizing farm
ers on the main line near New Hamp-
shire.
1t is said that an efficient ambulance
corps is being organized under the
supervision of few loyal Irish women
and surgeons who were in the Red
Cross work in Cuba. They are also
preparing large number of .'first aid
packages" for the invading force.
The movement is the work of the
Irish element of the larger cities, but it
is fact that large and important
work is being done among the farmers
of the border states. A schedule is be-
ing arranged of farmers who can fur
nish wagons and horses and oxen for
transportation purposes, as this is re-
garded as most important detail. A
careful study Is being made of the
small railroad branches in Northern
New England and places are being To-
Gated where the road could be captured
by a very small force.

DICTATOR BRYAN.

There will doubtless be held
democratic national convention our
ing this year of grace 1900, in or.
der that timed-honored political
forms may be complied with. Inc
platform there to be adopted has
already been prepared and an.
nounced by the self-nominated
presidential candidate, and all
that remains at present in sight
for the convention to act upon, be-
sides registering the fiat OF Mr..
Bryan, is to select a running mate
for him-and even that modicum
may be anticipated. A Washing
ton correspondent who writes as
though "inspired" says:
Mr.. Towne has been considered as
vice-preidential possibility, by the
fusiOnists at least. He may not be
Col. Bryan's choice for y running
mate, though If selected to make the
race with the Nebraskan statesman
next year, very little surprise will De
created throughout the country. Mr..
Towne is Silver Republican. Col.
Bryan Is silver Democrat. While they
do not agree upon all policies which
may be incorporated in the next Dem
ocratic or fusionist platform, upon
the important issues they are agreed.
1t is now believed that Towne is as
ured that he is Col. Bryan's choice for
the vice presidency, though later ev-
ents may push Minnesota forward as
the most acceptable candidate for this
office. The understanding among
Col. Bryan's friends is than he pre-
fers some man for the vice presi-
dency who has money to further the
chances of the presidential ticket in
1900. In view Of the fact that Mr..
Towne is not a wealthy man, Col. Bry-
ans choice, as may have been hereto
fore telegraphed, may be Editor Nc
Lean of the Cincinnati Inquirer. The
latter is ambitious in political way
and, as is we'll known, has plenty OF
money to advance his ambitions, and
he, therefore, may be Bryan's choice
for second place on the ticket in the
next national campaign.
AS usual, Mr.. Bryan is weighing
expediency against friendship, and
he will throw Mr.. ToWne for
money consideration as cold-blood-
eddy as he slaughtered Mr.. Hitch
cock in his own state as a bid for
political advantage. In any event,
this correspondent is impressed
with the idea that Mr.. Bryan's fiat
will be the conventions law.
Fusion is a glittering dream prior
to election, but afterwards the mi
nority wing in such unholy alli-
ances is left to ponder and wonder.
