Beginning with a statement of the
case the Attorney General says in a
letter to the assessor:

cation in which you say: An individual

NEW SUBSIDIZED Line
BRITISH AND CANADIAN GOVERN
MENTs PLAN A FAST SERVICE.
Summary of Opinion in the United
States Steel Case-New Southern Pa
cific Western Freight Terminal.

BOSTON, Oct. 11.-Sir Frederick Broden,
Canadian minister of militia, who is a
visitor in this city, in an interview to-day
made known the fact that the Canadian
and British governments had decided to
jointly establish a fast steamship service
between the Halifax, Nova Scotia, and
Liverpool ports, with an annual subsidy
Of A,125,000 for ten years.
1t is practically decided. Sir Frederick
said, to establish without delay a subsidy
beginning with twenty knot boats to be
accorded a subsidy of $4,000 per year from
the Canadian government and $4,000 adj
diuonal from the British government. He
could not say yet whether the Canadian Pa
cific Railway or syndicate of steamship
companies, comprizing the Allen, Elder
Demsttr and other lines, would get the
contract. The steamers will make their
terminus, in winter at least, at Halifax.
The terminus in the United Kingdom prob
ably will be Liverpool.
Touching the subject of reciprocity with
the United States the minister said the
Canadians had made advances at various
times in the last twenty years, but he de-
clared they had met such cold receptions
at Washington that they latterly have be-
come convinced that the government there
was not disposed to make a fair agreement
and Canada has therefore turned her at
tentfon elsewhere with splendid results.

Burdens of Ex-Senator's Address at
Brooklyn Saturday Night.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
State campaign was opened tonight in
Brooklyn. Speeches were made by David
B. Hill. Edward NJ. Grout, George Raines
and others. Among other statements Mr..
Hill declared that I'VE are confronted with
gigantic combinations of corporate capital
monopolizing the productions Of the earth
and the manufactures of our artisans,
arbitrarily fixing prices, making corners in
the necessities Of life, and the extent and
multiplicity OF whose operations sub
stantially unlimited by law and uncon-
trolled by statute, who corrupt legislatures
and congresses and dictate the govern
mental policies Of subservient governors
and presidents"
Speaking of the question Of tariff re-
vision Mr.. Hill said: With over SJO0,0oO0oo
of surplus revenue in the treasury of the
United States IL is folly-aye, 1t is almost
criminal-to further resist a modification
of the present exorbitant tariff rates. No
good reason can be urged why such re-
vision should not be Immediately under
taken"
Mr.. Hill arraigned the Republican party
for its failure to control trusts and mo-
nopolies. OF the plank Of the State plat
form demanding ownership of the anthra-
cite mines he said:
THE proposition is neither startling,
revolutionary, socialistic nor paternal. but
is constitutional, necessary, expedient, and,
above all, IL is right. 1t is simply rea-
Sonable and necessary extension of the
general policy of public ownership already
largely prevailing in the municipalities of
the country. This proposition does not
public ownership. whatever their merits, If
any there may be-"

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct 11.-Though
martial law has not yet been declared and
will not be until the conditions in the
street-car strike demand such extreme
measures, New Orleans is practically un-
der military rule, about 1,40o soldiers, all
well armed and under splendid discipline,
having already reported for duty. with
probably 100 more on the way.
The presence of the soldiers and the ex-
preston of firmness and determination in
Governor Heard's proclamation to the citi-
zens demanding a restoration of order has
restored confidence in the authorities,
though the street-car strikers seem more
sullen than ever. Plans are being laid to
start the cars on Monday, and Governor
Heard says they will continue to run.
Under orders issued just after last mid
night, two country companies of militia
arrived here tonight, one from st. Fran
cisville, forty-eight strong, and another
from Opelousas, sixty-three strong. The
Ouachita Guards, from Monroe, sixty
strong, and the Mansfield Guard, from the
northwestern part of the State, will arrive
in the morning. The jefferson Guards are
under arms in Gretna, across the river from
this city, and the arrival of these, with all
the local commands prepared for duty, will
concentrate here the entire military force
of the State.
This afternoon at o'clock subcom-
mittee Of eleven of the carmens executive
committee called on Governor Heard at the
st. Charles Hotel and remained with him
two hours. They came to discuss the sit
uation in detail.
United States Senator Murphy Foster,
who settled the general strike In 1892 in
three days, when he was Governor, arrived
here this morning with w. S. Parkerson,
who gained national prominence in 1891.
when he led the crowd which lynched elev-
en- Italians In the parish prison, has been
endeavo-ing to bring about an amicable
understanding. They have made but little
progress so far.
At o'clock this morning a report reached
Adjutant General Jumel that an attempt
would be made to rush the armory of the
First Regiment, on Girod street. because OF
the supposed sympathy of many members
of that command with the strikers, and
take possession of the arms and ammuni-
ton. Picket lines were thrown out on St.
Charles and Carondelet streets by the First
Regiment, the Washington Artillery and
the naval battalion, whose armories are
in the immediate vicinity, and no one was
allowed to pass unless he could give a
good account of himself. Every wagon
passing was searched. These picket lines
were resumed tonight.

OPINION IN TRUST CASE.
Justice Van Sickle Sets Out Reasons
for His Decision in Steel Suit.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 11.-Justice Van
Sickle this afternoon filed in the Court of
Errors his written opinion in the case of
Miriam Berger against the United States
Steel Corporation that was decided short
time ago in favor of the corporation. The
opinion is an elaborate one, covering thir-
ty-six pages, and gives exhaustively the
courts reasons for its decision. In the
opinion, Justice Van Sickle says the gen.
eral act concerning corporations author
ICES corporations to retire shares of pre-
ferred stock purchased with bonds or the
proceeds of bonds; that the directors may
declare how many shares are to be retired,
and that the failure to retire that number
will not defeat the plan.
The act of 1892, which was passed espe-
cially for the bepefit of the United States
Steel Corporation, Justice Van Sickle says,
does not enlarge the company's powers as
they would under the general corporation
act, but rather restricts them. The COM
pany has power to sell bonds on the mar
ket, or to sell them to stockholders at the
same value.
Taking up the point raised by Mrs Ber-
ger that j. p. Morgan & Co., who received
sl0,oO0.o0o, were being overpaid, the opinion
individual stockholders cannot question
in judicial proceedings corporate acts, of
directors, IL the same are within the power
OF the corporation, are not unlawful or
against good morals and are done In good
faith in the exercise of an honest judg-
ment. The manner in which duly author
lied plan is carried through is part Of the
business OF the corporation and in the alb
sence Of fraud or bad faith is not the SUBJ
ject OF judicial control TO any greater ex-
tent than any other business of the cor
poration. The court cannot substitute its
Judgment for that of the directors and that
OF a majority OF the stockholders and say
that less expensive plan could have been
adopted"

time.

manded an advance in wages from $12 TO
sl4 a week and struck to enforce them.
Then 1t was decided, after several confer
ences with the employers, to make a de-
mand for an advance in wages in all the

demand and the strike followed.
