troVersy between state as plaintiff and

Under such an amendment YOU could
institute suit in the United States cir
cult court for New Jersey against the
Northern Securities company; but YOU
must bear in mind that in the recent de-
clsion of the supreme court the court
held that both the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroad companies were
necessary parties; and that beng the
case, you could not make those two COM
panies, as l understand it-Minnesota

for all your parties defendant would not
be, in the language of the constitution.
citizens of another state" At all
events, this would be true of the Great
Northern company.
Jurisdiction Not Conferred.
You would be in this condition in such
a suit: The state would be the plaintiff,
and the defendants would be the North 4
ern Securities company, Northern Pacific
and Great Northern Railroad companies,
and the fact that the Great NOrthern5I
Railroad company is material partly
defendant and a citizen Of Minnesota
would be taken advantage Of to GUST the
court Of jurisdiction, and that is a mat
ter which could not be helped by ant
amendment to the judiciary act for the
reason that section of article of the
constitution, as you will observe, does
not give jurisdiction to federal court
over a controversy between a state and a
citizen of the same state.
AS l understand it, you do not claim
or at all events did not in the bill which
you offered to file in the supreme court,
that your action arose under the cOnsti-
tuition or laws of the United States. You
based your action, if 1 understand the
bill correctly, upon violation of the stat
uteS of Minnesota.
If my views are correct-I express
them with great diffidence-the legisla-
ton you suggest to give you jurisdiction
over a New Jersey corporation, in view
of the decision OF the supreme court,
would not give you the relief you expect.
The course 1 would suggest would give
Jurisdiction to federal courts, so that YOU
could institute your suit in those courts
against the three corporations.
1t seems to me-but this is only a sug-
gestion of mine. and you may take it for
what it is worth-that your only course,
under the circumstances, is to institute
an action in the courts OF Minnesota

night came other meetings of the strik-
ers. A committee of the Boston Mer-
chants association and labor represent

labor men declared that the strike would
involve $1,000 or $4,000 men it a settlement
was not reached.
BOSTON, March 12.-With 10000 men
idle, their ranks likely to be greatly
swelled by sympathetic votes of the
Building Trades council and the Boston
Central Labor union, which meet to-
morrow night, and the entire city begin
ming to suffer from the effects of CON
gested traffic, the only ray of light visi-
bic tonight is the hope that the confer
ence of business interests which has been
arranged may lead to a settlement of
the strike.
Senator Marcus A. Hanna has been in
vited to assist in the efforts of arbitra-
tion, and has wired as follows to Mayor
Patrick a. Collins:
If you will point out way, I will
be glad glad to be of service We should
have indications from both sides that our
good offices would be acceptable"
The conference of business interests
held today, which is due, in a large meas
ure to the influence of Gov Crane was
arranged late this afternoon at a meet
ing of representatives of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, the Boston Asso-
ciated Board of Trade and the Boston
Merchants association with the state
board Of arbitration
Everybody present realized the serious
ness Of the situation, and after an in
terchange of opinions it was decided that
the best way of getting at public opin-
ion Wod@ be to call g conference of the
business men Cf the city, to w--4ul, among
others, the presidents of the Produce ex-
change, the Coal exchange and of all the
railways Will be invited. 1t is also hoped
that Secretary Easiey and other repre-
sentatives of the Civic Federation may
be present.
Railroad Company Obdurate.
During the day Gov Crane had a long
talk with the committee of the Allied
Transportation council having the strike
in charge but at it's conclusion he an
nounced that he could see no way at pres
ent Of solving the problem. Later he sent
for Mayor Collins and the two execu-
tiVes we're in conference for some time
A little later the mayor made a state
ment that he had 10 power to act He
said:
Until the railroad officials consent to
having the differences considered by an
arbitration board there is nothing more
we can do. They are obdurate, therefore
our hands are tied The governor and
myself have done all in our power to
render assistance The answer from

WHOLE WATER FRONT TIED UP
Strike of the LOngshoremen in Bos-
ton Made Complete.

BOSTON, March 12.-Noddle Island
Assembly and O'Connell Assembly, Of
Charlestown, the two remaining long
3horemen's unions, voted to join the
strikers in the morning. The former
controls the men who load and unload the
steamers of the Cunard and Leyland lines
in East Boston, and has a membership
of 1000. O'Connell assembly is composed
of men who work on steamers of the
Warren, Dominion, Hamburg American

400 in all. The action of these two bodies
ties up the entire water front of the city.
EXpressmen's union 500, which includes
drivers of the Adams, National, Ameri-
can, New York & Boston Dispatch and
Erie & Drew Express companies, con-
sisting of 920 members, also voted tonight
to order out every member in the morn
ing.
Late tonight there was a decided feel
ing that the Central Labor union and the
Building Trades council would not order
a general sympathetic strike of their vast
membership at their meetings tomorrow,
and it was conceded that their failure
to do this would prove most important
factor toward the early adjustment of
the troubles.

COLUMBIA NOT HEARD FROM

WASHINGTON, March 12-The senate
committee on isthmian canals has de-
cided, by a vote Of Z to 4, to report the
Hepburn bill, providing for construction
of an isthmian canal by way of the Nj
caraguan route.
The action of the committee was taken
at a called meeting during the afternoon,
and came after a brief report by SEN
ator Morgan, chairman of the committee,
detailing the result of a conference with
Secretary Hay as to the status of diplo-
matte negOtia tions with the Central Amer
lean republic concerning the canal. He
stated that the secretary had told him
that there are no negotiations in progress
between the United States and Colombia
concerning the Panama route, and that
the new minister from Colombia had not
even presented his credentials, but that,
on the other hand, the Representatives
of this country and those of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica had been in consultation
and had agreed upon practically all the
points to be covered in concession
treaties, nothing really being left but to
put the agreements in writing.
He said that the governments of these
twos countries had manifested a DISPOSE
ton to make all the concessions the
United States could ask to aid in the

these concessions is one for perpetual
right of way.
When the recitation Of the report had
been completed, Senator Hanna suggest
ed that probably the Colombian minister
had been detained by untoward circum-
stances, and proposed that action by the
committee should be delayed until an op-
portunity could be had to ascertain Co
lombia's position. This suggestion met
with a strong protest from the friends Of
the Nicaragua route, and Senator Mitch
ell moved to report the Hepburn bill as
it passed the house. Senator Kittredge
moved to amend by postponing action
until next Monday, but his motion was
voted down.

Gov. Northcott issued the following
proclamation today:
1T becomes my painful duty to an
nounce to the people of Illinois the death
of John P. Altgeld, twentieth governor of
the state, who filed the executive Office
from JAN 10, 1898, until Jan. IL, 1897.
Born in Prussia, in 184S, he came to
this country when a child, and as soon
as he was old enough enlisted in the
service for the defense of his adopted
country, and bore the part of a true
soldier in the closing days OF the Civil
war.
HE was an able lawyer, distinguish
ed judge, a man of strong convictions,
and always courageous in giving them
utterance.
I'm respect to his memory, I request
that flags on all state buildings be dis
played at half mast until after his
funeral, and that business in the various
state departments be suspended during
the hours of the funeral"
The portrait of former Gov. John P.
Altgeld, in the executive office of the
state house, was draped with Grape this
afternoon, in honor of the late governor.
Great regret was expressed in this city
over Judge Altgeld's death.
An order was issued from the adjutant
generals of1ce that on the day Oh the
funeral flags be displayed on all armories
at half mast from morning till evening.
At dawn Section Battery B, of Gales
burg, will fire a salute of thirteen guns,
and afterwards, at intervals of thirty
minutes, between the rising and setting
of the sun, one gun, and in the evening
at o'clock thirteen guns. The usual
badge of mourning will be worn by all
officers, when on duty, for thirty days,
and the colors Of the regiments will be
placed in mourning for the same period.
