MESSAGE TO LEGISLATORS.
Governor Van SAINT. Touches on the
Il Railroad Merger.

st. Paul, Feb. 6.-Governor Van
SAINT delivered his special message to
the legislature during the morning, the
senate being in JOINT session with the
house. The governor commends the
work of the tax commission and says
the code framed could have been made
more perfect but for constitutional
limitations. Nevertheless, the pro-
posed law is a great Improvement over
the one existing and he recommends
it's prompt enactment.
. The message concludes with a state
ment of the case brought by the state
against the Northern Securities com.
pany, and the reasons therefor. On
this subject Governor Van SAINT says
in part:
t.t "If the United States supreme court
does not take jurisdiction it is the in
tention of the attorney general to at
once bring suit in the state courts.
Neither this company, nor any other
company, combination. consolidation
or trust shall violate the laws of our
state if it can be prevented"

SOME DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Question Of Civil and Military Rela-
tions in Philippines.

Washington, Feb. 6.-In his state
ment betordfhe senate committee on
the Philippines Governor Taft dealt
especially with the question of the re-
lations of the civil and military au-
thorities in the Philippines and his
statement was received with much at
tention by the members of the COM
mittee..
Governor Taft began by saying the
entire ecivil and military jurisdiction
was formerly in the hands of the army
and naturally there was some differ
ence as to mode of procedure. This
had arose during the administration
Of General Macarthur. and caused
more or less corresponds The
army had contended that the chief au-
thority in the islands was vested in the
military as in case of war. In this
view the commission did not concur.
This difference did not however, ex-
Etend to the control of the municipali-
ties. In this connection Governor Taft
explained at some length the colten-
tion between the commission and Cen
eral Chaffee which had, he said, arisen
over the habeas corpus provision i'll
the commissions code. That provi-
sion Had been inserted, he said to pro-
teet native officers who surrendered
and who are subject to arrest on
charges of crimes committed while in
the insurrestion service believed to be
contrary to the rules of civilized war
fare. Thus a conflict had arisen and
the question had been referred to
Washington with the result that in
structions had come back that the
differences must be compromised.

most friendly and cordial terms" he
said, "and we had no difficulty in
reaching an understanding after a pro
longed conference -,~

When citizens arrived a little later
Powers was dead and there was no
trace of the robbers except a trail of
blood that Indicated that the sheriff
had wounded one or perhaps two of his
assailants.
Powers roomed on the second floor
of an adjoining building and had been
awakened by the explosion.
The bank officials were unable to
give the exact amount of plunder Sc.
cured but stated that the bank was
insured against loss. AS late as II
o'clock no attempt had been made to
capture the robbers except to wire all
adjoining towns to be on the outlook
for them.
Powers has been sheriff of Johnson
county for II years. He was known to
be fearless man and crack shot.

Greatly Wronsed Men.
Washington, Feb. 6.-At the conclu-
sion of routine business in the senate
consideration was resumed of the, ur.
gent deficiency appropriation bill. Mr..
Hale, in charge of the measure, made
an appeal to the senate to permit the
bill to come to a vote He hoped the
scandal in Alaska would not be: per
mitted to interfere with the progress
Of the measure. He said it had no
relevancy to an appropriation bill and
while he was powerless to prevent the
discussion he hoped it. would not be
prolonged -.s1 ... -. j,sas.4,
Mr.. .McCumber. IN. d. said he had
no desire, to. prolong the discussion,
but most villainous charges had been
made against men-charges which he
personally knew to be .unfounded and
absolutely false. He declared that GER
tain mining syndicates had desired to
obtain control of the whole Nome
(Alaska) country He believed that
it would. be premature for the senate
to- render a verdict for 4 or a.. against
Judge Arthur III. Noyes and Alexander
Mckenzie before the courts had had
opportunity to pass the on the merits
of the case. He declared that noaper.
son could put finger upon a. single
instance where Alexander Mckenzie
or Judge Noyes ever had wronged any
man of dollar. He paid a high trib.
ute: to both Mr.. Mckenzie and Judge
Moves and in answer to an inquiry as,
serted that not one. scintilla of evi.
dence is contained in the entire record
of the case that will support the
charge of conspiracy against Alexan-
der Mckenzie. s.r ~ &. .
Mr.. McCumber then entered upon
an extended statement of the case
against Mckenzie, going into minute
details. Reverting to the situation. as
Judge Noyes found it in Alaska, Mr..
MeCumber declared that the mining
syndicate, had made every effort to
bribe him, $4,000 being offered to
him in one sum. Finding it impossible
to bribe him the syndicate hired, Mr.
MeCumber asserted, a man to make a
perjnred afiidayit that Judge. Noyes
had accepted a bribe.

new NJ TRAFFIC AGREEMENT
New York .Advices Confirm the Ru-
mored Agreement Of the N. p.
and Milwaukee.
The Latter to Extend Its Eureka Line
and Join the Northern Pacific
z Branch.
They Will Afford the Milwaukee q
Through Ronte to the Coast Via
Bismarck.

New York, Feb. 6.-The Northern
Pacific officials here confirm the report
of the traffic agreement with the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road, the
principal effect of which will be felt,
in North Dakota. 1t is understood
to mean that the Milwaukee road will
extend its Eureka line into North Da-
kota to meet the proposed Northern
Pacific branch from Bismarck south
east, thus nabling the Milwaukee, to
run through trains to the coast via
Bismarck as the Burlington now does
via Billings.
Ncte.-If the above conditions are
carried out Bismarck will be the gamer
SO far as train service is concerned,
and give us practically another trans
continental line. But with the close
alliance Of these roads Bismarck will
be extremely fortunate to- get the 500.
1T lis not thought possible that any
condition will develop whereby any
arrangement as to. extensions or agree
ment of territory can be made by the
merger roads with the 500. 1t is for
tunate for Bismarck that we now have
an opportunity to get the, 500 if we
furnish terminals main line in
stead of a mere spur.-Ed.
