Replies to Criticisms Based Upon
States Merger Suit.
AS bearing upon certain criticism in
washington gossip concerning the acts Of
the state adminiS ration, Attorney Gen
eral Douglas said to e Journa l
to-day: - --..- -. -q
Some minds are SO ungenerous by way of
inclining to criticizse the work or motives of
others that cannot understand them. ..
The old adage is often quoted: Nothing
succeeds like success" I much prefer the
other: Loyalty is still the same, whether
it win or lose.'' ~.
My action and that of my associates in
bringing an action for the state against the
Northern Securities company in the supreme
court Of the United States, based upon what
seemed the plain language of article of
the constitution, was commended by dozens
Of eminent lawyers before the decision of the
court was announced. Two of these lawyers
have held the Office of attorney general Of
the United States. All agreed that in their
judgment the court had and would exercise
jurisdiction. 49,! =
When we also reflect moment and note
that of the three attorneys who appeared for
the defendant, not one either in their elab-
crate brief or upon the oral argument even
suggested to the court the point upon which
jurisdiction was denied, there is at least a
foundation for silence, instead of abuse.
I have exhausted one remedy, and barely
suggested legislation which possibly may lead
to a second in other like cases. 1 have also
done what little could to bring about action
by the national authorities fortunately, such
action has been taken), and we purpose ex-
hausting all means to test the questions IN
volved.
If people at distance must complain,
trust they will at least credit me with not
intending to add to their burdens.

General Chaffee is greatly pleased with
what he considers as closing the active
insurrection. The resistance in .Batangas

OUT A TANGLE
Mr.. Mum in Washington
Consulting Senator Nelson

Kennedy, in the Power Suit,
Tells of Northern Pacific
Stock Purchases.

rron, The journal Bureau. Room 10. Post
Buildissg, Washingtosa.
Washington, March 19.-M. D. Mum of
st. Paul, associated as counsel with At
tOrney General Douglas in the merger
suits, is in Washington to-day to confer
with Senator Nelson regarding Mr.. Doug
las request for an amendment Of the
federal Judiciary act.
Mr.. Mum says the Minnesota delega-
ton is laboring under some misappre-
hension as to what Mr.. Douglas wants.
The latter possibly made mistake in
not sending the delegation a copy of the
bill he wants passed instead Of writing
vaguely about it, Mr. Mum has under
taken to straighten out the tangle. He
leaves for home tonight. For the past
ten days he has been in New York on
private business.
The correspondence between Attorney
General Douglas and Senator Nelson re-
garding the railway merger resolutions
has been printed as senate document.
Senator Nelson declines to make Mr..
Douglas letter public. Without; quoting
the senator, it may be said there is a
suspicion that Douglas did not relish
Nelson's plan of making the correspon-
dence public In Washington. It is said to
be his contention that the attorney gen.
erals office at st. Paul is the proper place
to give out such information.

BONDED MILL
Washburn-Crosby Company
May Get Exemption
From Duty.

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post
Building, Warrington.
Washington, March 19-The Washburn-
Crosby company has asked for additional
information from the treasury depart
ment before proceeding with the plan of
bonding one of it's mills for grinding
Canadian wheat for export. The COM
pany wants to know just what it will
have to do before it can begin grinding
wheat into flour, and what privileges
will be accorded it if the mill is bonded
as manufacturing warehouse.
No reply has been sent, but one officer
of the department said to The Journal
man that the only privilege that can be
granted under the law is exemption from
the payment of any duty on wheat the
company may take from bonded ware
houses at Minneapolis or Duluth and
transfer to its bonded mill for manu-
facture and export. This will save it
from the necessity of bonding one of it's
own elevators. Obligation to manufac-
ture only imported wheat in a bonded
mill and to export the -four is the law
and cannot be changed without an act of
congress.
AS to the plan that was first considered
for charging the drawback regulations to
permit taxation Of an equal amount of
flour for certain amount of wheat i'm
ported, the department is still opposed
20 any change.

BEET SUGAR
Its Defiant Banner Still Flaps
in the Faces Of Ways
and Means.

From Tho Journal Bureau, sIsoons 80, Poss
RaiIdissg, Washington. =
Washington, March 19.-The beet sugar
republicans are very angry to-day and
are talking over various plans for de-
feating the plans of the ways and means
committee for Cuban tariff reduction.
nights meeting was conference and not
caucus. All the meetings held to dis
cuss the Cuban question have been con-
ferences. The difference between a CON
ference and caucus is important. The
action of one is not binding, the action
of the other is.
Last nights vote, therefore, does not
make the 20 per cent reduction formal
party measure, and the beet sugar mi
nority is at liberty to continue it's oppo-
sition on the floor of the house, which it
is promising to-day to do. Should the
opposition come it will be against the
adoption of a rule limiting debate and
forbidding amendments. There are
enough insurgents to make the adoption
of rule impossible. The only question
is, will they have the courage to stand
by their guns? ,. 49,
This question nobody can answer-not
even the insurgents. So many of their
men have been picked off by the ways
and means forces that they hardly feel
like making definite statement regard
ing those who remain. They think to-
day, however, that they still have control
Of the situation, for it is said that the
ways and means committee will not dare
introduce a Cuban tariff reduction bill
without first counting noses and being
sure of enough votes for the adoption OF
| a rule limiting debate. -
| To present the bill without rule
hn to- l. l.
question at this session A careful esti-
| mate of the '1ast ditch insurgents by
states shows thirty-two votes This
| number is said to be probably less than
! their real strength, for the insurgent
| leaders to-day claim fifty votes The
| thirty-two are divided as follows: Cali
| fornia 6, Washington 2, Kansas 2, Ne
| braska 2, Minnesota g. Michigan g. Wis
| consin 2, Maine 2.
| Late to-day an intimation came from
| the ways and means sources that the com
/ mittee would probably Introduce a bill
| without trying to secure rule for its
consideration. 1t is said it hopes so tt
| frame it as to make 1t relate wholly tt
Cuba and therefore not open to genera
| tariff amendment.
| Under this view any amendments Offered
| looking to general tariff reduction would
under the rules Of the house, be thrown
out as not general. Such program
| would insure the passage Of the bill, fol
nearly all the democrats would supper
| it. The fight would then be transferred
I to the senate, where it will be as bitter
and uncertain as in the house.

WHERE "AT?"
Speaker Henderson in a Guam
dairy and Tangle With
Iowa Constituents.
From The Journal Bureau, Room 10, Post
BUILDING, WASHINGTON.

From The Journal bureau. Room A5, Posi-
Building, Washington. ~
Washington, March 19.-Members of the
house are still discussing the quandary
in which the speaker has been placed by
the action of Senators Allison and Dol
liver in voting against the ship subsidy
bill
If Mr.. Henderson supports the bill he
will place himself in anita gonism to the
two senators, and it is said that the po =
litical conditions in his district will hard
~ warrant this attitude. If, on the
other hand he doesn't support the bill,
he will find himself in opposition to Sen
ator Hanna. chairman of the republican
national committee.
The general opinion in the house is
that Speaker Henderson's dilemma augurs
i'll for the consideration Of the subsidy
measure at this session of congress. The
Iowa senators are being deluged with
kilograms from the state commencing
their action in voting against the bill
The echo of these words will undoubtedly
reach Mr.. Henderson's ears and go fa1
toward influencing him in his action.

FOR LABOR
Missouri Supreme Court Vir.
tually Decides in Favor
of Boycotting.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 19.-In the
supreme court, sitting en- banc to-day, an
opinion was handed down declaring that
courts of equity have no power to enjoin
labor organizations from enforcing boy
colts on corporations.
The opinion, by Judge Sherwood, af-
firmed the judgment of the lower court,
which aid refused the application OF the
Marx & Haas Jeans Clothing Co. Of st.
Louis for an injunction to restrain An
thony Watson and other officers Of local
Knights Of Labor organization and a
branch Of he United Garment Work
ers Of America in that city from pushing
boycott.
Z The court holds that if the labor unions
of the state are not permitted to tell the
story of their wrongs or their supposed
wrongs by word of mouth or with pen and
print and to endeavor to get other per-
sons to aid them by all peaceable means
in securing redress Of such wrongs, free
speech is endangered.

BOOST TAMS
Southwestern Men Would
Put Bixby in the Shoes
of Hitchcock.

F From, The Journal Bureau, Room 20. Post
Building, Wdskingtosl
Washington, March 19.-Information
comes to T h e u r n a man to-day
that prominent men from the southwest
are booking Tams Bixb for secretary Of
the Interior. The impression is growing
here that Secretary Hitchcock's retire
ment is only matter of short time,
and these men, among whom are Senator
Burton and Representative Curtis Of
Kansas, believe that Bixgy is just the man
to succeed him.
They have represented to the president
that the Minnesotan has made good
record as acting chairman of the Dawes
commission, Is from the middle west and
is thoroughly familiar with all the prob
lens with which the secretary of the in
terror has to deal. President Roosevelt
has warm spot in his heart for south
western senators and representatives, and
with their influence, with what will surely
be brought from the northwest, Bixby
may eventually loom UP as a promising
candidate.

The witness did not know before he
went to Europe that E. H. Hartman
sought to acquire majority Of the North

2. Morgan, May or 6, that some In
terests, in New York were making large
purchases of Northern Pacific and later
