NO STATE POLITICS
Attitude of the Minnesota Congress
men on Those Resolutions

Attitude of the Minnesota Congress-
men on Those Resolutions.
From The Journal Bmreau, Room 10, Post
Building, Washi,tgtoas.
Washington, March 13.-Democratic
sentiment will crystalline very rapidly
against the spirit of the Minnesota legis-
lature's merger resolutions, and prob
ably no bill can be got through either
house embodying it.. In the senate espec-
tally this opposition will be- of a charac-
ter to prevent action The resolutions
look to a sweeping extension of the juris-.
diction Of the federal courts The old
doctrine of states rights would probably
be seriously disturbed by this proposed
legislation. The constitution clearly de-
fines the jurisdiction Of the federal courts,
and 1t requires no expert to predict that
any attempt now to extend that authority
would encounter the most stubborn OPP
position. The Minnesota delegation is
far from hostile to the resolutions. It is
on the ground, however, and can better
see than the people at home just, what
the situation is in congress. The delega-
ton, as individuals and as a body Is in
sympathy with the anti merger crusade.
1t is not fair to say that there is any
state politics in the delegations attitude.
Nobody down here, aside from Mr.. Heat
wole, has any thought of trying to make
trouble LOT van SanL, OF would nave been
candidate against him under any cir
cumstances. Heatwole IL not trying to
influence other members, of the delega-
ton, and any position he may now take
regarding the merger will be Independent
of his anti-Van SAINT campaign. If it Is
found that the delegation can do nothing
along the lines suggested by the ,legisla-
ture, it Is possible that some comprehen-
sive statement of the situation will be
written 0on
eral.

Civic Federation Influence
Brought to Bear Upon
the Boston Strike.

Boston" March 13.-.The strike situation
is more hopeful The labor leaders are
in conference with Secretary Easily of the
Civic Federation and there Is prospect
of general meeting of representatives
of all the leading business interests at
which Mr. Easley shall be heard when he
has learned the workmen's side of the
case. Still, $1,000 men were numbered
among the forces of the strikers and
threats that hundreds of others would
join the movement were as freely made as
at any time this week.
Besides the committee of freight
handlers, team drivers and longshore-
mems unions, James Duncan, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of Labor,
John F. O'Sulliyan, fourth vice president
international Z Typographical Union;
Frank H. Mccarthy, president of the
5Massa chusetts branch of the A. F. Of L.,
and others were present at the meeting
Coal Delivered at Night.
While the general aspect of the st rike
was much the same as on previous days,
there were some slight changes. Until
late yesterday the Brine Transportation
company, non-union, was doing nearly all
the teaming in the city, all other team
! sters having been tied UP by the sympa-
thetic strike. During yesterday, however,
some concerns found thatin order to save
their contracts with large firms they must
of the union transfers to start out with
non -union drivers and to-day several
others followed this action,
Several firms took advantage of the
darkness of night to convey coal to large
consumers.

of the Vaal river, and a force going
westward from that place would go
straight to Klerksdorp and Genera. De-

governor to show equal magnanimity and
release Commander Kritzsinger.
Mr. .Brodrick said subsequently that the
telegram received did not specifically say
that General Met huen had been released,
but from the fact that he was in the
hands of British medical officer it was
presumed that the general had been re-
leased. :,s

At the Center,

St. Johnsbury Center experienced the
most disastrous food in its history Sat-
urday and Sunday. Ice in the Passump-
sic partly broke up Saturday afternoon
and caused big jam above the village
and several between that place and this
village. Thus the village was in danger
from two sides. The water rose to an
unusual height Saturday, and several
families along the river left their houses.
The river was anxiously watched all
day Sunday, for trouble was expected
when the upper ice blockade broke. This
came about three o'clock Monday morn
ing when great blocks OF ice coming down
the river had piled against the covered
bridge near the depot, until that struct-
ure was swept from its abutments and
carried bodily down the river. 1t came
swiftly down, crushing trees, branches
aud everything in its way. Itwas feared
that the Hastings street bridge would
meet the same fate when the floating
structure reached it, for there is strong
current just above that point and the
bridge came swiftly. Fortunately, how
ever, the structure struck the stone wall
on the south side of the river and turn
ing struck the Hastings bridge broadside,
collapsing without doing any particular
damage.
None can remember the time when the
