VAN SAINT READY TO ACT.
Suit Against Northern Securities
COMPANY Prepared.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dt i 19--Attorney
General Douglass, in accordance with
the plans of Governor Van SAINT, has
definitely decided to bring his suit
against the Northern Securities COM
pany in the United States supreme
court. The reason for the delay is
that the court has adjourned for the
holidays.
1t will reconvene on January s, and
at that time the papers. which are
practically finished, will be filed. The
proceeding will be in the nature of a
bill in equity, seeking an injunction
against the officers and directors of the
Northern Securities company. 1t will
charge that they are conspiring to vio-
late the laws and injure the commerce
of the State of Minnesota in their at
tempt to bring about a consolidation
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern systems.
The attorney general and his ad-
visers are confident of victory, but
have kept the secret of their line of
action. 1t has not been suspected
that the action would be brought in
the highest court in the land. But as
the state brings the suit this is posi-
BILE.
1t is held that, following the preced-
ent of the Pearsall VS.. The Great
Northern case, the court will hold that
the purchase of stock by the Northern
Securities company is an attempt to
consolidate by indirection, and a vio
lation of the Minnesota law.

MoRGAN.HlLL-HARRIMAN PLANS.
Magnates Agree to Keep Out of Each
Others Territory.

New York. Dec. 19.-The Morgan
Hill and the Hartman railroad inter-
ests IN the Northwestern and Western
territory have agreed to abstain from
bullding railroad extensions into each
others territory. These interests have
also agreed to maintain tariff rates in
their respective territories. No con-
sideration has yet been given to any
provision for an interchange of traffic.
The extension of the Burlington syn
dicate is definitely announced. 1t was
to expire by limitation on January /,
but has been extended for six months.
1t has been generally understood
that this syndicate was called upon to
furnish most of the $50,0O0000 in cash
to be used in paying off Burlington
shareholders who have agreed to take
cash instead of bonds to be issued
Jointly by the Great Northern and Nor
thern Pacific railroads to secure the
interest on Burlington bonds of the
new issue. Most of these bonds have
been issued, and the life of the syndi-
cate has been extended to finish the
matter

NEEDS OF THE FILIPlNos.
New Laws Are Suggested in the An
nual Report.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-The
Philipr re commission, in it's report
advises he institution of permanent
form of civil government in the is
lands in two years from present date,
with governor and a legislative as
sembly.
Congress is urged, however, to pass
at once coinage law, on tie gold
standard, with local silver currency;
to provide for a system of national
and land mortgage banks; and to con-
fer upon the commission power to
charter railroads.
The commission recommends legis-
iation providing for the sale of the
public lands on the homestead princi-
pie, and the purchase of the land held
by the friars.
A SO per cent reduction in the tariff
on Philippine goods imported into the
United States would, the commission
declares, increase the islands trade
by leaps and bounds.

TRAER TALKS OF TRUST.
Says Whitebreast Would Consider
Amaluamaton Of Iowa Mines.


Amalaamation Of Iowa Mines.
Chicago, Dec. 19.-Iowa bituminous
coal producers are endeavoring to con-
solidate their interests so they may
operate at the smallest possible cost.
Assertions that an eastern syndicate,
headed by j. Pierpont Morgan, really
is behind the consolidation are denied
emphatically by local coal men who
have interests in the Iowa fields.
THE output OF Iowa coal is 5,500,000
tons annually" said G.. w. Traer, pres
ident of the Whitebreast Fuel compa-
my. This is produced by seventy-tive
mines, some of which are wagon
mines The mineworkers are thor
oughly organized but the mineowners
are not To amalgamate their inter-
ests and lower the great expense to
which they are put at present by con-
stant competition is the natural ten
dency. While the Whitebreast COM
pany has not given an option on its
mines to any set of men, it would not
be averse to a movement of this char
acter."
Representative of other companies
said they had heard of the proposed
consolidation of the Iowa mines.
we are not interested personally
lin pushing this consolidation" said H
N. Taylor, general manager of the
Wilmington Coal company. but we
have heard there is an effort being
made to bring the mines under a cen,
tral management. If this is accom-
plished, we understand. it is to be a
general movement by the Iowa mine
owners. no eastern syndicate or per
son being interested in bringing il
about"
! The consolidation Of the Iowa mines
Is not a part of the movement to OBJ
tain control of the Indiana and Illinois
mines. but, if effected, will be entirely
independent of that consolidation.

Rumor is That Bye : Is to be
the Adjutant G ,ral
ARE NOT YET ANNOUNCED
Will Be Made Public Within Few
Days-One Place Yet to Be Filled
and That Will Go to An Old Sol
dier. ,

Des Moines, Dec. 19-The matter of
appointments under Governor Cum
Minis Is practically disposed of now.
Announcements will not be made for
several days as yet, but conferences
and consultations have been held
which have disposed of most of the
places or directed the general lines
along which the decisions will be rem
dered. The places which will be given
out at the beginning of the year or
soon thereafter, will be filled about as
follows:
nt-genera1-Melvin H. Byers,
Des Moines. $4,000.
Private secretary-John Briar, Des
Moines, $1,000
Pardon secretary-B. w. Garrett
Leon, $1,500.
Requisition clerk-Rufus w. Har.
vey, Des Moines, $1,000.
Pardon clerk-E. o. Patterson
Greenfield, $1,000.
grapher-Isabelle Wilson, Cen
terville, $3.50.
usher-William Coalson, ,Des Moines
$3.50.
This leaves but one place in the gov
ernor's Office not filed, that of gen
eral clerk, now held by w. FL. Pat
rick, brother-in-law of former Gov
ernor Jackson. An old soldier will be
picked for this place, unless there is a
change in the present and immediate
program for pardon secretary and al
old soldier goes in that place. Strong
pressure is being brought on the gov
ernor-elect to appoint an old soldier
for this place. He desires to recognize
the old soldiers and to give them al
excellent place. They have always
beer, his friends and he was frequent
" invited to speak at their great camI
fires. He may pick on George A. New
man of Black Hawk county, for thu
place of pardon secretary, but thu
strongest pressure is being brought tt
have Garrett given the place. 1t wa
Garrett who held Representative Elke
in line for Cummins in the senatorial
race and lost his position as deput.
county official thereby. He was re
warded by better paying salary il
the Office of secretary of state, but is
candidate for the still better position
of pension secretary and today it
stated he is slated for that position.
