+ PRACTICALLY COMPLETED.
New Protocols With Nicaragua and
H.. Costa Rica.


Washington, March 14.-The amend
ments to the original protocols be-
tween the United States on the one
side and Nicaragua and Costa Rica
on the other, outlining treaties to gov
ern the construction of a Nicaraguan
canal have been substantially agreed
upon. The new protocols yet require
signature but the fact that they have
advanced to this point is probably the
basis for Senator Morgan's statement
to the effect that working arrange
ments had been completed between
the countries. 1t cannot be learned
from any official source as yet upon
what points the new protocols differ
from those presented to the senate
during the last session of congress, but
the general statement is that the only
alterations are those absolutely neces-
sary to meet the points of difference
between the original Hay-Pauncefote
treaties (Which faileD under which
they were drawn, and the treaty as
finally ratified.

FIGHT AGAINST MERGER.
Minnesota Officials After the Iron Ore
: Roads ..-g~-.

st. Paul, March 14.-Unless the
United States Steel corporation stip-
ulates that the two iron ore roads in
Northern Minnesota shall be operated
independently Attorney General Doug
las will bring an action in the stat ?
courts against the plan of action pur-
sued by the billion-dollar corporation.
Governor Van SAINT has had the mat
ter in mind for some time and he ask
ed the attorney general to inquire into
the question. The senate passed
resolution recently authorizing the at
torney general to bring suit.
There will be no question of juris-
diction in this case. Both roads have
their headquarters in Minnesota and
their officers are here also.
The roads are now under common
control. The United States supreme
court ruling, which thwarted certain
plans of the state bearing upon the
Northern Pacific merger, will not have
any bearing upon this case.
