INDIANS PICKING BERRIES.
Rain Keeps Sandy Soil Moist and
Great Yield Results.

West Superior, Wis, July 16.-One
Of the largest burberry crops Douglas
county has yielded for several years is
now being harvested. This week
many heavy shipments are bling made
to this city and southwark also from
Scion Springs and other berry centers.
For several days the Indians and half
breeds throughout the berry region in
the county have been gathering into
camps to be ready for the first picking.
The usual way for the pickers to work
is to go at it Systematically under the
direction of some one who usually
contracts to take all they pick at so
much per bushel. The ruling price to
the pickers this season will be from 81
to $1.25 per bushel The Indians get
together, sometimes dozens Of them in
one camping spot, which is located
handy to some lake or stream and
from that center they strip all the blue
berry patches in the vicinity. Scarcely
an idle indian will be found in the
county while the berry season lasts.
The crop this year will not only be
large, but the berries will be of fine
quality There has ben so much rain
that the sand soil has been kept moist
and the berries have grown large and
solid. 1t is expected that the large
crop of two years ago will be equaled
if not surpassed

LEAVE TO FILE GRANTED.
Important Ruling by Supreme Court
in Great Northern Anti-Merger


in Great Northern Anti-Merger
Case.
Washington. April 21.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day granted
leave to the state of Washington 20
file an original bill for an injunction
against the Great Northern Railroad
Company, the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company and the Northern Sc
curities Company in accordance with
the petition of that state recently filed
in the court. The opinion in the case
was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller,
who stated that the court had always
exercised the utmost care in its pro-
ceedings in original cases and that the
present decision to grant leave to file
was intended to be entirely without
prejudice to either party at interest.
The Chief Justices opinion was very
brief and consisted entirely of re-
view of original cases of the same
character which have been brought to
the attention of the court. The two
most important of the cases thus cited
were the case of the State of Louisiana
VS.. the State of Texas concerning the
quarantine regulation of the latter
state in which leave was given to file,
and the State of Minnesota VS.. the
Northern Securities Company in which
the petition to file was denied.
Referring to the latter case, he said
the petition had been refused because
of the insuperable objection that in
dispensable parties to the case could
not be brought into the court. This OBJ
lection did not however, confront the
court in the present case and the court
felt that because of its desire to pro-
coed with the utmost care and deliber-
alton in all cases where original actions
are brought in this court, the precedent
of the Louisiana-Texa case should be
followed rather than that of the Min
nesota case in the present instance
Hence leave to file would be granted
and subpoenas would be issued return
able on the first day of the next term
of the court, in October.

DIFFERENTIATED HIS FAMILY.

UnlucISy Negro in Chicago Supposed
to Have Poisoned His Wife ana
Children, Then Killed Himself.
Chicago, April 21.-Dead in a stufy
bedroom IN a crowded tenement quar-
ter in State street. the bodies of an
entire coiored family, numbering seven
persons, were found tonight, gnawed
by rats and in an advanced state of
decomposition. The police incline to a
theory of murder and suicide by pois-
oning. The family is that of Jones
Butler, an upholsterer, and consisted of
Butler, his wife and five children. They
had been dead for eight days.
While the members of his family
were either partly of wholly I'M
dressed, the body of Butler was entire
ly clothed. He had seemingly thrown
himself in desperation across the
corpses Of his wife and children some
time after the poison had acted on
them. Butler had frequent difficult
ties with his wife and had made
threats to do away with his family. 1t
is thought that dependency, due to
brooding over the conditions surround
ing his family, who were in utter pow
erty, caused Butler to become insane
and take the lives of all seven.

GERMANS GET GOOD TERMS.
To Have Equal Representation and
Share in All Advantages of Deal.


Share i'm All Advantages of Deal.
Berlin, April 21.-The general terms
under which the German steamship
companies have Joined the information
al ship combination are understood to
be as follows:
First, the German lines are to have
such representation on the board of
control as to prevent their being out
voted by the Anglo-American interests.
The German companies will thus pre-
serve their independence and will be no
more controlled by their associates
than they will control them.
Second, a pro-rata distribution of
profits, according to tonnage, will be
made.
Third, the German companies are to
share in the advantages derived from
whatever agreements the combination
makes with American railroads.
Besides these principles, which
broadly outline the basis of the con-
tract under which the union of the
German lines is brought about, reports
of other ideas, less easily understood,
are in circulation. These are based
upon seemingly authoritative informa-
ton. One of these reports is that it is
the purpose that the combination shall
consist of three groups. of which the
Hamburg-American Steam Packet
Company, and the North German
Lloyd Company shall count for two
and the Anglo-American lines for one.
The future working of the combina-
tion appears to be provided for by a
system which is largely automatic,
thus avoiding possibility of conflict in
management

BRITISH GET THEIR SHARE.
Would Like to Have Had More of the
Shipping Syndicate stock.

SNOChs
London, April 21.-The allotments of
stock in the new shipping corporation
were all taken up by British members
Of the syndicate at noon to-day. What
proportion was given to Europe the
Morgans decline to announce, but evil
IDENTITY 1T was not nearly as large as de-
sired by the British interests. ]. p.
Morgan is now in Paris, but from other
members of the firm the Associated
Press learns that the shipping corpora
ton viii be run almost exactly on the
same lines as the United States Steel
corporation, each branch retaining it's
INDIVIDUALITY, but being subject to the
control of the directing body. The
statements intended for the stockhoId-
ers of the new corporation, regarding
earnings, engagements etc, will be is
sued by method similar to the one
row employed by the steel corporation.
Regarding the detection of the Cunard
Allan, Anchor and French steamship
lines, the Morgan views are as fol-
lows:
1t remains to be seen whether they
VIII come in. We think it is rather a
good thing, in some respects, not to
get everybody in at the beginning, the
ldea being that the present combine is
quite big enough to start with, and it
is better to get it down to a practical,
working basis before being too anxious
to make a clean sweep"
Anent the possible refusal of the Brit
lsh and Continental shareholders to
ratify the directors action, the Asso-
ciated Press is authoritatively inform
ed that no such contingency is possible,
as the corporation already owns a con-
trolling financial interest in each line,
and so far no indications of distontent
on the part of shareholders over the
prospective conversion of their present
securities have been noticed.

Big Appropriation Measure, Carry
ing S7O,OOO.O0O, Went Through
without Discussion.
Washington, April 21.-without a
word of discussion of the merits of the
measure. the Senate to-day passed the
river and harbor bill, carrying appro-
priations of about $4,000. 600. So thor
oughly had the bill been considered by
the Commerce Committee that every
senator was content that it should pass
as reported from the committee.
AS no senator was prepared to-day
to begin debate upon the Philippine
government bill the measure, after a
few minutes of informal discussion
went over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado said to Mr..
Lodge that some time during the de-
bate on the bill he wanted some SEN
ator to explain what the status of the
Fflipins would be after the passage of
the measure.
Mr.. Lodge replied that they would
be citizens of the Philippine Islands,
precisely as it was provided by law
that the inha bitants of Porto Rico were
citizens Of Porto Rico.
Mr.. Teller said the cases were not
analogous. The truth was that when
the Porto Rican act was passed the
party in power (the Republican, did
not know what it wanted to declare as
the citizenship of inhabitants of insular
possessions. He urged that the United
States government ought to declare
that the Filipinos either are or are not
citizens of this country,
Mr. Lodge said it was declared dis
tinctly that the Filipinos were citizens
of the Philippine Islands.
Mr. Bacon insisted that the inhabi-
tants of any country must be of neces-
sity either the citizens or subjects of
a sovereignty. He said the United
States had not the courage to declare
that the Filipinos were subjects, and
asserted that to call them citizens of
the Philippines meant absolutely moth

New York, April 21.-Clement A. Girls
com, head of the International Naviga-
ton Company, which is to enter the
steamship combination organized by j.
P. Morgan, was in this city to-day and
conferred for long time with some
of Mr.. Morgans partners. Mr.. Girls
CONS attention was called to the state
ment of Charles H. Cramp. the Phila-
delphia shipbuilder. Mr.. Cramp is re-
ported to have declared that the con-
solidation of English, German and
American steamship companies on the
lines planned by Mr. Morgan would
work harm to American shipbuilders.
Il think Mr.. Cramps arguments have
been very thoroughly answered these
last few days" said Mr.. Griscom. In
fact, / have, perhaps, unwittingly, an
swered many of them"
But Mr.. Cramp seems to think that
the situation so far as the American
shipbuilder is concerned is really dan
gerous." it was suggested.
"Then let the American shipbuilder
wake up and do something" said Mr..
Griscom. There is plenty for him to
do"
Mr.. Griscom characterized as imag-
mary the reports coupling his name
with the presidency of the Morgan
steamship combination.

at the Office of ]. p. Morgan & Co, that
