Now that the schley matter has
been settled officially, it is understood
that Secretary Long feels that he is at
liberty to carry out the project cher
ished by him to retire to private life.
However, this is not expected to ensue
at once, for there is no certain knowl-
edge of what may follow in congress,
Notwithstanding a belief by the ad-
ministration that the case is now set
tied beyond revival Therefore 1t is
understood that the change in the
cabinet circle will not take place be-
fore the adjournment of the present
session.

LEGALITY OF MERGER F
WILL BE TESTED
Attorney General Knox 60 File MIN In
Short Time.

Within a very short time bill will
be filed by the United States to test
the Legality OF the merger of the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern railroad systems through the in
strumentality Of the Northern Securi,
ties company. In speaking of the
matter, Attorney General Knox said:
Some time ago the president re-
quested an opinion as to the legality
OF this merger, and 1t was recently
given to the effect that in my judg-
ment it violates the provisions of the
Sherman act of 1890, whereupon he
decided that suitable action should be
taken to have the question judicially
determined
A bill of equity is now in course of
preparation, which will be fled within
a very short time, which will ask the
merger established through the ex-
change of shares of the Northern Se-
curities company for shares of the two
railroad companies, be dissolved, and
such shares ordered re.exchanged to
restore the stocks OF The two railroad
companies to their original holders.
The two railroad companies, the
Northern Securities company, ]. p.
Morgan and James j. nill and their
associates, stockholders in the two
companies, will be the defendants.
The district iu which the proceedings
will be instituted has not yet been de-
termined. Most likely it will be in

the suburb of Barcelona known as

cavalry and infantry had been posted

When the final clash with the troops
occurred the artillery was brought into
action and raked street after street.
The rioters engaged the batteries at
close range, but were finally driven
off.

CREDIT FOR VICTORY
DUE TO ALL THE CAPTAINS.
President Rooseveits Comment the
Schley Controversy Denies the APP
peal of the Admiral.

PRESIDENT Hooseveits Comment on the
schley Controversy Denies the APP
peal OF the Admiral.
The text of President Roosevelt's
comment on the Schley appeal is in
Gently. President Roosevelt says it
was a captains battle. He asserts
that the brief of Schlsy's attorneys
asks him to reverse decision made by
President Mckinley, and he cites the
testimony OF the captains as reason
for not doing SO.
President Roosevelt says the famous
loop made by the Brooklyn was a mis-
take, because it delayed both the Texas
and the Brooklyn. In this connection
he says the Brooklyn might have
turned toward the enemy, although
that would have placed those on board
the Brooklyn in more imminent dam
ger, but such danger, he says, would
not have been equivalent to the dan
ger in which the making of the loop
placed those on board the Texas.
An earnest appeal is made by the
president, asking that the controversy
shall be dropped. He says it is injur-
ious to the navy to continue it.
