RAILROAD IN PHILIPPINES.
The Navy Department to, Construct
Line from Cavate to Other
Points,, :- --.~a

The navy department will construct
. railroad line in the Philippines, since
it is hardly likely the project will be
sufficiently attractive for the invest
ment of money from other than gov
ornamental sources. With the estab-
lishnent of . war base at Olongapo,
p. l., it will be necessary to have rail-
road communication with the supply
depot and naval repair plant at Cavite.
A railroad already partly. traverses
the route between the two points, the
total distance remaining to be con-
structed being about Is miles. There
is hardly enough business to attract
private capital to the project, but the
line is regarded as military necessity.
There will have to be survey of the
road, of course, before estimates are
sent in, and it is barely possible that
the preliminary information necessary
will be obtainable during the present
congress. An effort will be made, how
ever, to have the survey made as soon
as possible. .'..

GOVERNORS IN SESSION.

Anti-Merger Conference at Helena,
Mon., Meets and Organizes.
Helena, Mon, Dec. 31.-No action
was taken at the meeting of t:.5 gov
errors and attorney generals OF ~
plans for opposing the proposed con-
solidation Of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington rail-
way systems. From the discussion at
these meetings, however, it is consid-
cred probable that the plan Of Gov
ernor Van SAINT OF Minnesota will be
endorsed by the executives of the other
states who were present and that the
fight against the railroad consOlida-
ton will be carried to a finish. What
this plan is Governor Van SAINT re-
fused to state until the meeting shall
have taken action. The meetings were
held in Governor Toole's private office
and behind closed doors. There were
present besides Governor To0le and
Attorney General Donovan of Mon
tana, Governor Van SAINT and Attorney
General Douglas Of Minnesota. Gov

Dakota was also expected to attend
the conference, and, in fact, had tele.
graphed Governor Van SAINT that he
would be present. In q later Telegram,
however, he stated that it was impos-
sible for him to attend the meetings.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Governor Van SAINT as
chairman and Attorney General Martin
of Idaho as secretary. After reading
Governor Whites communication stat.
ing tia he would not be present, Gov.
ernor Van SAINT made a brief speech
in regard to the objects of the meet.

Takes Pony Into Apartments,

J. Clinton Brewer, vice president of
the Pleasure Drivers association,
startled his neighbors in the "Arsd-
ley" an apartment house in Brooklyn,
by bringing pony recently bought
into his apartments on the second
floor. He drove to the house in dog
cart drawn by the pony, accompanied
by his coachman and three dogs. The
pony was then unhitched, led up the
stoop to the wide hallway, and forced
up the stairway to the Brewer apart
ment, much to the CONSERVATION of
Mr.. Brewers wife, his mother and the
servants. Much more trouble attend
ed the exit of the pony, for he had to
be half carried down to the hallway.
The clamor was increased by the pro-
test of the negro janitor and his as
sistants. zee + :,

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Retirement of Northern Pacific Pre-.
ferred Stock Enioned.

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-A very in.
portant and far-reaching suit has been
begun in the district court of Henne-
Pin county by Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific Railroad company to
cnjoin the retirement of the preferred
stock. The suit was begun by filing
papers and an application before Judge
El :ott for a writ of Injunction pending
the final disposition of the case. After
hearing the parties, Judge Elliott
granted the writ Of Injunction enjoin-
ing the retirement of the preferred
stock until the final disposition of that
case. This makes it impossible for the
retirement of the preferred stock to
proceed further until that suit at least
Is disposed of. Mr.. Lamb of New York
ard MI. Moore of Chicago, among the
leaders Of the bar in those cities, to.
gether with ex-Judge Lancaster CT
Minneapolis, appear as attorneys for
the plaintiff.

his wives, all of whom he obtained
by carrying them forcibly away from
