strntton mt st. Paul.

st. Paul, March 24.-The Pioneer Press
says:
Attorney General w B. Stratton Of the
state of Washington has been in this city
during the past week in consultation with
Attorney General Douglas, and plans have
oeen outlined for proceeding against ih,
so called merger Of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railways. The plan
embraces suit against the two railways
and then against the Northern Securities
company in the state courts of Washing
ton. Attorney General Stratton argued
that because the Northern Securities com
pany was foreign corporation, the state
courts would refuse to take jurisdiction
over it, and as the decision of the supreme
court of the United States held that Min
nesota's remedy lay in her own courts,
the state was helpless to fight the pro
posed merger. Attorney General Douglas,
however, has come to the conclusion that
as the situation presented is unique n
that sovereign state would thus be lef!
at the mercy of foreign corporation,
formed as alleged, for the purpose of VIC
lating a state law. the courts will mke
a broad and liberal view of the matter
and allow the state to present its case
before them.
As to the proposed action in the fed
eral courts of Washington state, that stare
is not barred from the federal courts,
because none of the heads of corpor4-
tons is a citizen of that state. The allie
cations and complaints to be brought III
that state, it is said, will be Identical
with those made in the United States SUI
oreme court by the state OF Minnesota.

Chinese Bill Amended.

WashinSton-By an almost unani
nous vote the house committee on for.
eign affairs has stricken out of the
Mitchell Kahn Chinese exclusion bill
the paragraph prohibiting ships fiyins
the American flag from employing Chi.
nese sailors under $4,000 penalty for
each offense. This provision has
proved one of the chief sources of con
troversy over the bill. The senators
and representatives from the Pacific
states regard this provision as most
important.
The main argument leading to strik.
ing out the provision was that Amer.
lean ships on the Pacific coast com
pete with English and Japanese lines
and that the latter ships would indi-
rectly receive a great advantage in
continuing the employment OF Chinese
at $3.50 per month, whereas the Amer
lean ships would have to pay about
$50 per month for white sailors.
Representative Kahn of California
has talked with Speaker Henderson
as to the exclusion bill when it reaches
the house, and it is understood that
while Mr.. Kahn considers the sailor
clause most important, he viii not in.
sist upon it to the extent of jeopardiz,
ing the entire exclusion measure.

Canandagua, N. Y, March PA per
son who WAS known here for FIVE years
az William c. Howard, died suddenly re.
Gently, and an autopsy showed that the
supposed man was a woman. Howard
who was about so years of age, and who
was employed as farm hand, came here
five years ago with woman who was
known as Mrs. Howard A child WAS
born to the supposed wife.
The dead woman worked for farmers IN
the neighborhood, and those most init
mately acquainted with the family never
had the slightest suspicion that she was
not man. The cause of the woman's
death is a mystery. She took two tab
let's for a throat affection and was dead
in 10 minutes. The medicine was sent
from Wellsville this state, where relatives
reside. Two men claiming to DO half
brothers attended the funeral, but re-
fused to divulge any information.
1t further developed that the person
known as William {. Howard was Alice
Howard and that she went through 3
marriage ceremony in 1892 with Edith
Fordyce.

A BIG STRIKE IS PEOB5 BILL
THE COAL MINE WORKERS.
\ Report of "A Special Committee
Drafted Resolutions Recommend
ing "a Provisional StriiNe-Presi-
dent mitchell Made IA Statement of
the Case After the Adoption.

/ Shamokin Pa, March 25.-The reso
luton presented at Mondays session
OF the United Mineworkers of America
by the special committee appointed,
made a provisional strike recommend
alton, which was unanimously adopt
ed After the adoption President
Mitchell made this statement:
Our convention unanimously adopt
ed the resolution submitted by spe-
cial committee composed Of district
presidents and myself.
THE resolution recites the efforts
made by the representatives of the
anthracite mineworkers to secure a
joint conference, calls attention to the
repeated violation of the promises con
veyed in the notices posted one year
ago, as well as their failure to carry
out the verbal understanding reached
with the representatives of the coal
carrying railroads last March.
THE resolution also calls attention
to the wage scale which was drafted
and unanimously adopted by the con-
vention, the essential features OF
which are:
"A shorter working day, minimum
day wage scale, uniform increase of
wages and the weighing of coal wher-
ever the physical conditions of mining
would make 1t practicable.
1T further explains that upon in
vestigation it is found that the aver
age annual earnings of the anthracite
mineworlers is considerably less than
in any other important American in
dustry. while the number of fatalities
and injuries, in proportion to the num-
Der of persons employed, Is greater
than in any other industry.
THE resolution then declares that
the mineworkers can not with honor
to themselves or in justice to those de
pendent upon them continue at work
during the coming year under the pres
ent low wages and indefinite condi-
lions Of employment, and provides for
a general suspension Of work, to take
effect upon a date to be designated by
the executive boards of districts 1, 7
and 9.
''It provides, however, that before
resorting to such drastic measures,
and with lingering hope for a peace
ful solution of the perplexing problem
an appeal Will be made to the execu-
tive committee of the National Civic
Federation. If the civic federation re-
fuses to act, or should they fail in their
efforts to arrange a satisfactory ad-
iustment prior to April /, and if after
that date negotiations are still pend
ing, all anthracite mineworkers except
those necessary to keep the mines in
repair shall remain away from the
mines, strippings, washers and break
ers on Tuesdays Thursdays and Sat
nrdays of each week. Should a strike
take place no settlement will be made
in any separate district, and will not
terminate until it has been officially
declared ended by a committee repre-
senting the three anthracite districts.
THE committee to negotiate with
the civic federation has not yet been
appointed"
Commenting upon the action Of the
convention, President Mitchell said ::
81 am free to confess that a strike is
imminent"
