All indications point to the coming
summer as an outdoor season beyond
all else. Open air recreation and out
door sports seem to have the call in
all parts of the country as never be-
fore, while the country clubs and the
various associations to promote special
lines of physical exercise are flourish
ing on a basis of active membership
that gives most widespread participa-
ton. While devotion to particular forms
of sport may in some instances be
properly classed among the fads, the
general disposition to outdoor life for
rest and recreation can hardly be In
cluded under that name. If it conduces
to maintaining or building up a more
robust health for the people it certainly
will accomplish some tangible good and
deserve to be encouraged and promoted.

The gratifying assurance has beer
given that the revolution In San Do
mingo does not in any way affect the
concession to the Omaha syndicate, that
has obtained a franchise for the con-
structlon Of a railroad in that country.
The concession, we are told, was granted
by act of the Dominican congress in the
usual way. Very much in the usual
way, we presume, that concessions are
granted by a South Omaha city council.
When that San Domingo railroad is
completed we may confidently look for

Many of the insurance companies
are now canceling their policies in
this State on lumber. Lumber, like
cotton, has always been insured by
blanket policies with a co-insurance
clause. When the companies took
action on cotton, refusing to issue
any more blanket policies, at the
beginning of this season, lumber
policies were not disturbed, and the
rule as to lumber was not changed.
Recently, however, heavy lumber
les in South Mississippi called the
attention of the companies to the
fact that their blanket policies on
lumber with the co-insurance clause
were collectable, under the decision
Of the Supreme Court, for their face
value, and that no deduction could
be made for failure of the insured
to keep the lumber fully insured.
This discovery has been causing a
wholesale cancellation of lumber pol
i,les.

The cabinet has decided the com

1t is President Palma's intention to

The Cuban constitution provides that
the treaty needs only the approval of
the senate.
The annual budget will also be sent

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 21-Gov.
Salazar has received news from Bar
ranquilla of another battle fought
at La Cienega, on the Magdalena riv-

of Generals Uribe-Uribe and Castillo,
who managed to gather together
their previously-defeated forces, with
which they attacked the town. The
battle lasted IA hours, and the revolu-
tionists, according to official reports,
were completely defeated and suffered
great losses. The government thinks
this battle means the pacification OF
the department of Magdalena, for
Uribe-Uribe is now said to be with
out any important following, and
must either become a guerilla leader
or escape to the island of Curacao.

ASKING HILL QUESTIONS.
President of the Northern Securities

NORTHERN HAS sssO,OOO STOCK OUT.
President Hill Says Anyone Can Buy

presses Surprise That Some One
Has Not Taken Action in Eastern
Coal Rates.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 21.-When Spe-
cial Examiner Ingersoll opened the
hearing in the suit of the United
States against the so-called railway
merger, he announced that but one
session would be held Tuesday. Solici-
tor-General Richards Immediately re-
sumed the cross-examination of Pres
ident Hill of the Northern Securities
and Great Northern Railway Compa-
nies, asking in regard to Mr.. Hills
statement that one reason for organ
izing the holding company was to
prevent danger of raids on stock. Mr..
Hill explained that stock held by a
holding company would be less on the
market.
"How does it come about that the
Union Pacific holds about $s0,000,00O
Of the Northern Securities Coz"
THAT is a matter that does not
concern us, but it does concern you"
Pressing the same line of questions,
Mr.. Richards was told that Mr.. Har-
riman or anyone else who wished
might buy Northern Securities stock.
He did not know that shareholders
willingto sell could not be found. Any
stock might be bought, and purchas-
ers usually could find those willing to
sell. If others desire to buy Northern
Securities stock they could only do so
by offering high enough price. "We
have tried" he said, ito make it Is
difficult as we could fairly for such
raids to prove successful.
Il don't control who shall or might
own the stock. Some of the owners
who usually work together would be
slow to sell without consulting their
associates. Out of eleven or twelve
hundred Northern Securities share
holders, I know probably 25 or 30.
The largest single holder of Northern
Securities stock, I understand, is
Hartman, or, at least, the issue of
stock was to them some months ago.
The outstanding stock on the North
ern Securities Co. is somewhere near
$360,000,000. Hartman might double
his holding, but he would have to
pay a fair price for it, if he bought
it. The real protection is the union
of effort to develop the great west
business"
Mr.. Hill said his coal rates had for
several years been lower than those
of the Reading or the Laekawanna
railroads, and Mr.. Day said he be-
lieved there had been some complaint
to that effect in the east, whereupvn N
Mr.. Hill suggested; 81 have for a long
time wondered why the gentlemen
in charge of looking after such mat
ters have not taken some action m
regard to it."

J. NJ. Benson, indicted some time

Sheriff's safe, has been finally ac-
quilted. At the previous term of the
court he was tried and convicted Of
this offense and given a term Of five
years in the penitentiary. The
Supreme Court reversed the case
because of the insuficiency Of the
evidence against him, the chief wit
ness who claimed to be allie to iden-
tify llim as one of the robbers being
a negro prisoner in the county Jail,
who claDned that he saw Benson in
the vicinity at the time of the COM
mission of the crime.
