MERGER CASE BEFORE COURT.
State of Washington Urges Federal
Tribunal to Grant Injunction
Against Consolidation.

Washington, D. c., April Is. = The
United States supreme court today
heard the arguments in the merger
case from the state of Washington. At
torney General Stratton appeared for
the state. contending that this court is
the only one that can properly hear
the case and that, if it refuses to hear
it. there is no tribunal to which the
state can apply for redress of the
wrong. He vas frequently Intercepted
by the members of the court.
Replying he c%ontended that the state
had the right of an Independent pro-
ceeding for injunction; that the North
ern Securities company could not be
reached by the state. and that the COM
pany would not come into a suit as was
shown in the Minor case. He agreed
with the suggestion of Justice Brewer
that the railroads involved are inter-
state roads and on this account it was
competent to appeal to the national au-
thorities.
In summing VI the case, Attorney
General Stratton said the question pre-
sented is: whether the stock and pow
er of control of the two gigantic lines
of railway. traversing the states of
Washington. Montana, North Dakota
and Minnesota, may be consolidated so
as to create a monopoly in the railway
traffic therein. in defiance of the laws

FLOUR MILLS TO CLOSE.
Fifty Percent of the Capacity of the
Minneapolis Plants to
he Stilled.

Minneapolis, April 15.-About so per
cent of the -four mill capacity of the
city will be idle next week and for an
indefinite time thereafter until condi-
tons improve. This means loss of time
to about 1000 mill employees. The shut
down is partly due to the premium on
May wheat. but principally because of
the discriminatory rates on wheat and
flour. especially in favor of wheat. This
discrimination is the subject of negoti-
alton between the millers and the rail
roads, and although the Wester roads
are willing to equalize the rates the
Eastern roads have 70 far declined to
do SO. The consequence is that the
export demand for -four has fallen, it
being more profitable to ship the wheat
and grind it abroad. The roads main
tain that flour is more expensive to
handle than wheat.

Day in the Senate.

Washington, d. C. April 15.-The
Chinese exclusion bill occupied the at
tention of the senate throughout today,
Senators Foraker and McLaurin of
South Carolina making extended
speeches in opposition. Senator Foraker
contended that the pending measure
was violative of our treaty with China
and calculated to prevent our CONNER
cial expansion in the far East. While
strongly supporting the policy of the
government to exclude Chinese laborers
he maintained that this could best be
accomplished by an extension of the
present law. holding that the drastic
provisions of the pending bill would cut
off our cotton trade with China and
thus wreck the cotton industry of the
South.
Senator Teller briefly responded to
Senator Foraker, urging that the right
to abrogate treaties was fully recog-
niZed.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts gave
notice of an amendment striking out
the much-discussed clause prohibiting
the employment of Chinese sailors on
American ships.

WORK ON THE DIES MONIES.
Cruiser to be Launched as Soon as
Protective Deck Armor
is in Place.

Boston, April 14.-The corn-pith cell
lulose for the waterline protection OF
the United States cruiser Des Moines
has been received at the Fore Rive"
shipyard at Quincy, Mass. 1t is esti-
mated that 6.720 cubic feet of this OBJ
turating material will be required for
the protection of the cruiser, while each
of the two battleships which are build
ing need about 22, 1000 cubic feet.
The corn-pith, which from the
cornfields of the West. is in the form of
b~ricquettes six inches square and
weighing seven pounds per cubic foot.
The purpose of this material is to pre-
vent the entrance of water when the
hull of a warship has been penetrated
by a shot near the waterline. The corn
pith expands so rapidly when wet that
it automatically stops up any ordinary
hole until permanent repairs can be
made.
The protective deck armor for the Des
Moines is being put in place; the ship
will be ready for launching as soon as
the sheathing is completed. The armor
plates are nickel-steel two inches thick
and can only be bored for rivet holes
with great difficulty. Tests have been
made of the water-tightness of 100 OF
the cruisers various compartments. In
the curse of the tests each compart-
ment was filled with water by means of
a donkey pump, the water being given
sufficient pressure by the use of a small
stand-pipe.

IN HALLS OF CONGRESS.
MATTERS OF INTEREST ACTED
UPON BY LAWMAKERS.
Foes of Reciprocity Determined to
Prolong the Discussion in the
House-They Will Refuse to Per-
NIT Undelivered Speeches in the
Record-Sub-C Committee Unable to
Reach Inauguration Agreement.

Washington, d. c., April 15.-Inter-
est in the Cuban reciprocity debate in
the house seems to be waning, judged
by the attendance on the floor today,
but the earnestnesS of the speeches on
both sides of the question increased
rather than decreased in intensity. That
the Republican opponents of the bill
are determined to prolong the struggle
as much as possible was made mani
fest today by their refusal to allow the
speeches to be printed in the Record.
The speakers today were Representa-
tives Mccall of Massachusetts and
Brantley of Georgia for the measure,
and Robertson of Louisiana and Stew
ems of Minnesota against.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana opposed Gu
ban annexation on the ground that it
would threaten the welfare of the
American wage-earner.
The conference report of the postof-
flee appropriation bill was adopted early
in the day after some criticism of the
pneumatic tube provision.
The subcommittee of the house judi
ciary committee. consisting of Repre-
sentatives Littlefield of Maine, Thomas
of Iowa and Clayton of Alabama, has
decided to report back to the full com
mittee without recommendation the
proposition to change the date of the
Inauguration of the president to the
last Thursday in April. This decision
was reached after hearing fully the
arguments of those who have been urg-
ing the change. Differences of opinion
among the members of the %subcommit-
tee developed during the discussion Of
the proposition, and the decision to re
port it to the full committee without
recommendation will leave it in The
same position it occupied before refer.
ence to the subcommittee was made.

PACT THE TOPIC
GREAT BRITAIN THRILLS IN
EXPECTANCY.
Conclusion of the Negotiations in
South Africa Impatiently Awaited
by the Public-Announcement of
the Conflicts End and a New War
Tax to Go Hand in Hand-Cabinet
Considers the Proposal.

London, April 14.-"Peace is within
sums up the present crop of rumors,
conjectures, and deductions which has
Great Britain by the ears. Reports of
the definite end of the conflict of such
length, involving SO many lasting in
tricate issues, being arrived at practi-
cally without any time being devoted
to negotiation, are palpably premature.
1t is announced that the ministers at
today's meeting, which lasted an hour,
discussed a communication from Lord
Kitchener. This was quite within rea-
son. and government circles expect sew
eral similar messages from Kitchener
before anything definite can be an
nounced.
While LORD Kitchener's message may
have been Of vital Importance, the AS
ISOLATED Press has good reasons to be-
lieve that the sudden of the
cabinet ministers was due TO the de-
sire to ascertain whether or not the
presentation of the budget could be
postponed until the Klerdsdorp negoti-
ations were settled one way or the
other. Peace will not modify the cry
ing need of additional revenue, but it
would take off the sting from addition
al taxation, which is bound to raise a
protest from every class or industry
affected. In the national "jubilation over
the end of the war these individual
protests would be lost sight of.
The cabinet council today, while il
probably did not fulfill the sensational
ly attributed function of deciding be-
tween peace and a undoubtedly re-
viewed the entire situation, both as re-
CARDS the home finances and the situa,
! ton in South Africa.
