George A. Lamb, attorney for Peter
Power of New York in the Northern Pa
.cifc injunction case, says that it is the
Intention of his client to carry the in
junction fight to the United States court
of appeals at st. Louis.
''We do not care to show our hands en-
tirely in this matter" said Mr.. Lamb,
;'until the right time comes. We can
get this question before the United States
court of appeals and in very short time,
not more than six or seven days"
Mr.. Lamb when informed that New
! York dispatches said that Peter Power
was not a stockholder of record in the
Northern Pacific and never had been, re-
piled:
"It is true that Mr.. Power is not on the
Northern Pacific records as stockholder
( in that company. But for all that, Mr..
Power has the stock

/ has had an understanding with the mer-
5ser interests regarding the recent pro-
3ceedings.
j Mr.. Power and Mr.. Lamb were at work
early in the day. They held conference
with W. A. Lancaster and H. C. Belden
and M H. Boutele this morning. When
asked If he intended to return to New
York at once now that proceedings in con-
nection with the injunction were ended,
Mr.. Power replied:
"Cut that out. I've just begun to fight"
Mr. Power was told that the very rapid
work between the granting of the in
junction and the filing of the answer by
the Northern Pacific attorneys had been
construed by some as indicating that the
proceedings were really in the nature of
IA friendly test. He said:
81 will take my oath that I
have not been in collusion with
the Northern Pacific in this litigation.
This is a straight fight and as said be-
sfore the fight has only begun" ~
IA EAttorney Lamb was asked how it was
Ebssible for the Northern Pacific to pre-
are such lengthy document in the short
lime between the granting Of the injunc-
81 ion and the filing of the Northern Pa
Zines answer. He said:

MISSION FOR GROVER
He May Represent This Country Il
the Coronation.

He Way represent THIS COunIry at
the Coronation.
Ne.v Yor1e S,s,, Special Servioe
Washington, Jan. 1.-Ex-President
Grover Cleveland may be the representa-
tive of the, United States at the corona
tion of King Edward VII. if he will ac-
cept tho appointment. President Roose-
welt believes that the representative of
this government at the coronation should
be man who has held position repre-
senting the American people and known
also to the people Of Europe. There is
no politics in such a Selection, and Mr..
Cleveland is the only living ex-president.
He is also thoroughly American and was
the one president in recent years to give
the British lion an old-fashioned and
vigorous twist in the Venezuelan boun-
Diary dispute, when he threatened England
with war.
In that one particular President Roose-
welt knows that he could not find a man
better qualified to represent the Ameri-
can people at the coronation. Mrs. Cleve-
land would also be good representative
OF American womanhood. The question
is whether Mr.. Cleveland would accept
this commission from President Roose-
welt. Personally the two men are the
best Of friends, but Mr.. Cleveland has in
recent years kept from the public gaze as
much as possible and it is doubtful If he
would accept.

Hunt and Herreid Approve.


Governor Hunt Of, Idaho followed in a
like strain, and while he was speaking
the Minnesotans left for the train. They
are happy; everything went better than
they had dared expect. Not one present
hunted cover.
Governor Herreid was shown the reso-
lutions adopted just as he started for the
train They had just been framed, but
not taken up. He expressed this verbal
approval. Every man took with him a
copy of the resolutions with the sigma
lures Of all.
Politics had no part in the proceedings.
The nearest approach was Governor
Hunts resolutions on government owner

with a statement that such a resolution
would not be to the point and 1t was not
voted on, the committee reporting sub

More Legal Proceedings.
J. AS I Indicated yesterday, all present
hint at other legal proceedings; in fact,
predict them. The nature of the projected
suits is profound secret. Governor Van

..I am more than pleased at the result OF
our conference. Support of a most prac-
tical kind was assured us, which is espec-.
tally gratifying to me. am going back

has been accomplished. 1t is not the fight
of Minnesota any longer, but Of the whole

resolutions, but will be Of great help to

Douglas Going On to Washington.
News reached Helena last night that
the injunction brought in Minneapolis

Douglas expressed himself as disappointed,
but said the case had no bearing on the
states suit and was only an incident of
the struggle
Arriving in st. Paul, Thursday after
noon, Mr.. Douglas will leave Friday
night for Washington to be on hand when
the supreme court opens Monday morn

much to do with the hetiish sentiment

Strikers Win Liberty by a Dash.

Tamaqua, Pa, July 26.-Thi evening
about fifty strikers captured William
Eagan, a Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company brakeman, and made an at
tempt to march him out of the region.
When they reached a point near Mauch
Chunk they were met by about twenty
deputies, armed with Winchester rifles.
AT the point OF their guns the officers
marched the men to a train, which was
in waiting, and took them to LanBford.
When they arrived there a large crowd
of strikers gathered about the train and
made a demonstration. The deputies sur
rounded the prisoners and keeping the
crowd back by pointing their guns az
them took up the march to the jail.
About S O'Clock the deputies made an eff
fort to take the prisoners to the office OF
a justice of the peace. When they
reached the principal part of the town the
crowd pressed in and the prisoners made
a dash for liberty, all but seventeen OF
them making their escape. At present
the town is in a state OF turmoil and Sc
rious rioting is feared.
