Jacob H. Schiff on the Stand in the
Power Case.
New York, March 25.-Tne hearing
in the suit commenced by Peter Pow
err in the United States court for the
district of Minnesota, for the purpose
of determining the standing before the
law of the purchase and holding of
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
stocks by the Northern Securities COM
pany, was continued here before Rich
ard A. Mabey, a special examiner.
Jacob H. Schiff, of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., was the first witness. He
was one of a number of financiers who
in 1896 purchased s26,000,000 worth of
Northern Pacific common at the time
of the reorganization of that road.
"Was Mr.. Hill in that deal?" was
asked.
"Mr. Hill can tell you," replied Mr..
Sshiff.
The witness said he had purchased
10000 shares of Burlington stock in
1901.
For whom did you act in purchas-
ing that stock?"

did you act for the Hartman inter
ests?"
81 decline to answer. I decline to
answer any questions regarding the
business of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., unless
compelled to do so.' was the reply of

FIGHTERS MAY REFUSE.
No Certainty That Dewet and DeIarey
Will Surrender.

London, March 25.-There is little
news of the Boer governments visit
circles express the doubts, held
throughout, of the ability of Acting
President Schalk-Burger and the other
civilian leaders of the Beers to induce
such men as Generals Dewet and De-
lareyto surrender. Possibly, they think,
the representatives of the Transvaal
government are DESTROYS of suing for
peace, but there is nothing to show
that they have any authority to impose
submission on the commanders in the
field. The most hopeful sign they see
is the announcement that Lord Kitch-
ener permitted Mr.. Schalk-Burger and
his companions to proceed to the
Orange River Colony, the contention
being that unless the British COM
mander-in-chief in South Africa, who
is on the spot and therefore most thor
oughly conVersant with the situation,
recognized the possibility of fruitful
results and believed in the good faith
of the Transvaalers, he would not have
permitted the visitors to continue their
pilgrimage to the headquarters of the
Orange River Colony allies. The same
cautious reserve permeates the news.
paper utterances and the comment in
well informed circles. Some signii-
canoe is attached to the fact that, in
approaching Lord Kitchener, Mr..
Schalk-Burger and those associated
with him have carried out to the letter
the advice given by the British foreign
secretary, Lord Lansdowne, in
His Reply to the Peace Note
of the Netherlands government, that
the quickest and most satisfactory
means for arranging a settlement
would be by direct communication be-
tween the leaders of the Beers and
the British commander-in-chief in
ever, that the Transvaal mission re-
ceived any mandate from the fighting
generals, or that the latter are pre-
pared to recognize the authority of
their acting president, Mr.. Schalk-
Burger, to negotiate terms for peace.
Presumably the latter satisfied Lord
Kitchener that he had certain clearly
defined proposals to submit to his ally,
President Steyn, but the best informa-
tion from South Africa deprecates any
D0ll0l Ill IH0 l1k0lluOOu VI d Sluuulld-
neous surrender of the burghers still
in the field on the order of the Boer
government. Almost the best to be
hoped for is that the present overtures
will so modify the situation as to
bring peace nearer.
The Westminster Gazette urges
that any peace proposal should be re-
garded on it's merits, pointing out that
the ungenerous assumption that the
previous Boer overtures were signs of
weakness contributed largely to the
failure of the negotiations.
The Pail Mall Gazette would "like
to think that the brave, skillful COM
manders, Dewet and Delarey, have ar
rived at the height of moral courage,
once attained by General Lee, and
have realized that the truest patriot.

ton of a hopeless struggle. The paper
confessed, however, that the military
situation is not suspicious for such a
change of mind, ..

Petition From the Manila Chamber OF
Commerce.

commerce.
Washington, March 25.-Soon after
the senate convened Mr.. Dubois Ida
presented a petition from the Ameri-
can chamber of commerce at Manila,
saying it was significant fact" that
this was the second petition from that
organization urging that the restric-
ton of Chinese coolie labor be re-
moved Mr.. Dubois added that testi-
mony before the Philippine committee
indicated that the Philippine islands
could not be developed witAout Chi
nese labor.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) inquired if the
petitioners were American citizens.
Mr. Dubois replied that he under
stood they were.
Mr. Hoar pointed out that under its
rules the senate could not receive pc
titions from people of foreign power.
The acceptance of the memorial seem
ed to him an admission on the part of
the senate that the United States was
not at war in the Philippines. The
memorial was referred to the Philip
pine committee.
The river and harbor bill was re-
ceived from the house and referred to
the committee on commerce.
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business
the oleomargarine bill-was laid be-
fore the senate. The measure was
read at length.
Mr.. Proctor, chairman of the COM
mittee on agriculture, explained the
measure to the senate. He said there
was no disposition on the part of the
advocates of the measure to tax a
legitimate industry out of existence.
He was satisfied that the measure was
constructed along the lines of fairness
and was entirely just to all interested
persons.

FEDERAL COURT AT CHICAGO Is
SUES INJUNCTION AGAINST
SIX RAILROADS.
LATTER DID NOT CONTEST
Believed Roads Interested Agreed to
Petition of Interstate Commerce
Commission in Order That Other
Lines Eventually Might Be Brought
Into Court and Compelled to Live
Up to Provisions of Sherman Law.


Chicago, March 25.-With the con-
sent of the defendants, Judge Gross
cup, in the federal court, has issued
the temporary restraining order asked
for by the interstate commerce COM
mission against six railways entering
Chicago. The order holds good until
June 1, or until further orders from
the court. The railroads affected by
the injunction are:
| The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago, the Michi-
gan Central the Illinois Central, the
Chicago and Northwestern. Before
entering the order Judge Grosscup
said:
"But for the compliance of the de-
PENDANTS I should have required the
is one of extreme Importance, and not
to be decided without the most ma
ture deliberation.
Personally I believe freight rates
should be as steady and equal as post
age rates and that no determinations
should be made. The person who
turns over freight to a common carrier
for transportation should be made to
feel that he will enjoy the: same rate
as every other shipper. The kind OF
traffic on which these bills are based
is much more complicated than mail
able matter and the rates therefore
should be subjected to that much
stricter regulation. But the question
here is what power the government
has to enforce the provisions of this
interstate commerce act. If this appli-
cation for an Injunction can be main
tanned, it will make the courts of
equity the masters of the maintenance
of rates. Such a finding might also
prove to be the vitalizing principle OF
the act.
eff any departure from the establish
ed rates is made by any OF these rail-
roads during the tendency of these or
ders the court will take great pains to
seek out the offender and provide
against further violations"
It is believed that railroads named
agreed not to contest the petition for
an injunction at this time in order that
other roads eventually might be
brought into court and compelled to
live up to the provisions of the Sher-
man law and the interstate commerce
act
