READY TO ASSIST VAN SAINT
Attorney General Douglas TO Fight
Consolidation of Railroads.

ST PAUL. Mimi, Nov. 26.-Attorney
General W B. Douglas, whose presence
at the capital has been so earnestly de-
sired by Governor Van SAINT for the past
week, arrived home last night.
Mt. Douglas has been on a deer hunt
ting trip to the North Shore of Lake Su-
perior for the past sixteen days, and, as
he was encamped some miles back from
the shore, no newspaper or mail reached
him.
In regard TO Governor Van SAINTS de-
termina ton to prevent, if possible, con
solidation of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroads, he said:
~ shall earnestly cooperate with Gov
ernor Van SAINT in fighting any consolida-
tion which is in violation of law, and will
do anything in my power to encourage
further legislation Of practical nature,
either State or national, which is caIeu-
lated to preserve competition.
''The organization of this great New
Jersey corporation for the purpose OF pur-
chasing a controlling interest in the stock
OF rival railway companies, two of which
cross and -e-cross Minnesota, is a clear
violation of the spirit, although not the
letter, of the act of 1881, the validity Of
which was sustained by the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the Pear

Such a condition has seldom if ever been
