AFTER DEFEAT
Hill Said to Be Making
Plans on That
Basis.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, May 12.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the Record-Herald says:
James J. Hill, the railroad king, is quoted
as expressing the belief that the Northern
Securities company will lose the case
brought against it by the government,
and he is preparing line of retreat. His
legal advisers are reported to have in
formed him that the federal suits will
probably be successful and he therefore
must arrange the business of the three
railroads involved so that no great dam
age will be done these properties.
According to close friends of Mr.. Hill,
who have recently talked with the great
railway manager, it Is proposed to make
the Burlington. system the chief one, OF
the three great railroads. Last winter
the Iowa legislature passed law under
which the Burlington gets a new charter.
The Burlington will not attempt 20 abb
serb the Great Northern or Northern Pa
cific, but the last two will work as closely
under the direction of. the mother system
as the charter and the laws of the states
will permit. The brains of the manage
ment of the three great lines will be
vested in the general officers of the Bur-
lington, and the policies and officers OF
the other lines will be under the control
of the officers of that system. Said the
authority:
Hill will prepare for the great battle which
he considers inevitable between the great
transcontineptal lines of the south and those
of the north. In other words, for war to
the death between the Hill and Hartman
combines. Hill wants to be in position to
make big fight for the southern and south
western business for his lines, and to divert
much of this traffic to the northern transcon-
tinental lines.

JONES DENIES
He Wants MIR. Wade of N.
D. to Prove His
Charges.

From, The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Posi-
Building, Washington. '
Washington, May 12.-Indian Commis-
sioner Jones returned to Washington from
Chicago to-day. Regarding the charges
made by w. V. Wade of Wade, N D.. that
he was interested in the company which
secured leases of the grazing lands in
Standing Rock reservation, he said:
"An investigation was ordered by the
Indian committee at my request. The
printed hearings before the subcommittee
investigating the question of leases on
Indian lands contain a letter from this
man Wade in which he stated that leases
had been made to a company in which
I was interested. I did not see the letter
until l had gone west, and l Immediately
demanded, through Senator Stewart
chairman of the committee, that the
charge be Investigated. There is no
foundation whatever for it. 1 am not and
never have been interested in any COM
pany seeking leases or anything else from
my office. 49,. ~.

person. I have asked the subcommittee
to subpoena him so that he will be obliged
II would have begun a suit for damages
against Wade as soon as I saw the
charge, but was informed that the state
ments made in the letters written to the
committee of congress on the subject un-
der investigation are privileged and re-
garded as confidential. My recourse after
that was a congressional investigation,
which will be made.
"While was in North Dakota last week
tried to find Wade, but he had gone
to his ranch. He owns one which lies
directly to the west of Standing Rock
reservation, and in the past his cattle have
grazed on Indian lands free of expense
to himself. His animus against me,
therefore, is plainly apparent. He is sore
because the department is determined to
get some money for the Indians by leas-
ing these lands. Mr.. Tuttle, who runs the
paper at Mandan, told me that Wade
claimed to have made the statement in a
general way; that is, he thought was
getting my share. He will find himself
mistaken so far as am concerned

York tonight to open bids for supplies

THE US. { WHEAT
British Tax 7 a 81 on It Is Opposed
in Parliamfnt--"5:Tax : U 1a'1f Taken
FROM Checks.

London, May 1.-THE chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, has
yielded to the storm g of disapproval
aroused by the feature in the financial
bill affecting checks and to-day definitely
announced, in the house of commons, the
withdrawal of the extra tax Of 1 penny
placed on checks. He added that he re-
served the right to impose another tax to
meet the resulting deficiency.
An Argument on Grain Taxes.
On the second reading of the finance
bill, Sir William Vernon Harcourt Qib-
eraD moved that "this house declines to
impose duties on grain, flour and other
food of the people. Sir William urged
that the innovation contravened the fun
damental principles of sound finance.
The chancellor Of the exchequer, in re-
plying, denied that there had been any
general rise in the price of bread. For a
moment the demand was greater than
the supply but 1t must not be forgotten
that while it was necessary for Great
Britain to obtain wheat and flour from
America and other quarters, it was equal
ly necessary for them to send their
products to this country. 1t was absurd
to suppose that the penny. duty on grain
could cause a single acre to go out of
cultivation in America. She must send
her wheat here on account of the protec-
tive duties elsewhere. The production of
grain throughout the world was increas-
ing at a greater ratio than the demand.
E5a hp1iava6 that the Dr0ducars and car-
riers of grains would pay the new tax if
there was a big crop. It was necessary
. to impose additional taxation on the
masses, in order that they should be made
to realize what was war preparation and
what war involved

TRIBUTE OF HIS CHIEF

La FolIette's Proclamation on the
Loss of Lieutenant Governor.
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, May IA proclamation
officially announcing the death of Lieu
tenant Governor Stone and paying him
high tribute was issued by Governor La
Toilette this afternoon. In it the gov
iernor says in part
Z AS private citizen Mr.. Stone attained an
honorable reputation and large measure of
success in the business world by reason of
his industry and honesty AS a public ser
want he earned the enduring respect of the
people Of the state as we'll as the high honors
accorded him by the exercise of large abili-
ties, modest dignity, unfailing courtesy and
answering integrity. Few men in public life
in the state have acquired larger circle
of personal friends The charms and quail
ties of his social character disarmed all per-
sonal antagonism.
The repeated bestowal Of public honors
upon Mr. Stone in district division OF the
state almost invariably opposed to the party
with which he affiliated, is an evidence of
the general confidence reposed in HIM. AS a
legislator and as the presiding officer in the
higher legislative body, he justified public
judgment by the discharge Of his responsible
duties in high-minded fairness and impair
tiality.
I The governor directs that in respect to
Mr.. Stones memory the capitol be suit
ably draped in mourning, the flag dis
played at half mast and that on the day
of the funeral the executive and state de-
apartments be closed.

PHILIPPINES ?: n
The Government Bill Is
Again Threshed Over
in the Senate.


Washington, May 12.-At the conclusion
day Mr.. Cullom had read the cablegram
to the state department from Consul
Ayme at Fort de France. s
The Philippine Government Bill.
Consideration of the Philippines gov
ernment bill then was begun. Mr., For
aker (Ohio) said its opponents had given
the debate wide range, but the real is
sue was not the pending measure but the
policy of which it was the exponent. Said
he: n
Until we shall have established law and
order, until we have established a stable
government, and led those people into the
ways of light and happiness, it is important
that stay there, perhaps even longer. than
has been expected. We will not come away
from those islands under this administration.
We cannot come away, because we will not
write poltroonry across our forehead and be-
cause the American people will not permit
US to come away. esfss-zz i.
Mr.. Foraker pointed out that the United
States was bound by the treaty Of Paris
to protect all property rights including
the friars in the holding of about 500, go
acres in the Philippines. Until gov
ernment was formed. which would do. all
this the United States must remain in the
Philippines. Continuing, he said:
"As the president said a few days ago,

Mr.. Hoar's Pointed Question.
Mr.. Hoar asked if when our treaty obli-
cations had been fulfilled sSand. a govern
ment established we would recognize the
right of the Filipinos to independence. I
believe said he, "that the affirmation of
that duty would have prevented that war.
I ask the senator, shall we disclaim any
right-or desire to hold the Filipinos in
subjection?"
Mr.. Foraker's Reply.
Mr.. Foraker said the qeustions were
not embarrassing. In his judgment it
would be most impolitic for congress now
to declare absolutely what the government
would do at some future time.
Mr.. Foraker speaking Of the commercial
interests in the Philippines, said before
the Spanish war in times OF peace we
maintained squadron to protect our in
terests in the east. When war began 1t
was wise that Dewey went to Manila and
wise for him to stay there In further pro-
lection of our comemrcial interests in the
