Local Comment.

The decision of the common pleas court
of Pennsylvania making the injunction
against Second Baseman Lajoie perpetual,
news of which reached Washington about
1:30 this afternoon, threw a wet blanket
over the Athletic players companions Of
the great Larry, who are stopping at the
Barton.
Lave Cross, who has charge of the team
in the absence Of Manager Mack and Cap
tain Lajoie, was very much cast down,
but had little to say as to the possible out
come of the situation. Several of the other
players gathered around Cross and tried to
cheer him up by saying that they would
go out to the park and lick the boots off
the Senators. but the veteran third base
man was inconsolable. The loss of Lajoie
will hurt the playing strength of the Ath-
Ietics beyond calculation and a great effort
will be made to keep him in the game.
Just what this effort will amount to cannot
be told until President johnson and Man.
ager Conny Mack decide upon the action
to be taken.
Manager LOTUS of the Washington club
was also taken aback when the news of
the courts decision was impaired to him,
but instantly said that the Philadelphia
club could not touch any of his men.
The Washington clubs counsel, Wilton
Lambert, was seen by Star reporter this
afternoon and he said:
THE courts ruling applies to PennSyl-
state and will not come within the con-
tempt of the Pennsylvania supreme court.
The same applies TO the other players The
order I secured here last week will make
the Philadelphia people keep their hands
off the Washington players.
Il cannot speak authortatively about the
future action of the American League un-
til President Johnson returns to Washing
ton. He will probably reach WashinSt on
this evening or tomorrow and then plan
of action will be mapped OUT
Mr.. Lambert and Manager Lotus held
a long conference this morning with the
street railway officials and the latter have
promised that cars will be run every min
ute from the Treasury Department to the
park on the day that games are being
played, beginning at 3:45 and continuing
until 4:30 The service Saturday afternoon
was unsatisfactory and as result the
Washington club officials went before the
officers of the road with the complaint this
morning. These one-minute cars will be a
big convenience and should land everybody
at the park in good time.

REFUSED TO EXPEL JEsUITS.
British High Court of Justice Makes
a Decision.

LONDON, April 2s.-The efforts of the
Protestant alliance 20 eXpel the Jesuits
from England under act of George " have
again failed. The alliance originally ap-
piled to a magistrate for summonses, on
the ground that certain Jesuit priests were
guilty of misdemeanors which, under the
ancient law involved banishment for life.
The magistrate declined to grant the sum-
monses holding that the act was obsolete.
On appeal in the kings bench division of
the high court of justice, today the lord
chief Justice Lord Alverstone, held that
the magistrate had the right to refuse the
summonses, and refused to issue a man
darnus to compel the magistrate to do SO.

The Status Of Hawaii.
CUBAN SUGAR.
Committee of Investigation to Meet
TonorroW

The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on Cuban affairs which is to under
take the investigation of the Cuban sugar
question involved in Senator Tellers reso-
luton will meet tomorrow and prepare for
the investigation. 1t is the belief of sena-
tors who are following the situation closely
that the investigation can be concluded
within a very few days and a report made
upon the result.
While the subcommittee is sitting it is
probable that some work also be done
on the Cuban reciprocity bill. The work
in contemplation consists mainly of con-
ferences among the republican senators
with a view to locating the strength of
the opposition and. if possible. to win some
votes away from the other side.
Senator Teller the author of the resolu-
tion of investigation. is expected TO take
an active part in the work of the SUBJ
committee. He will be given every oppor-
tunity to develop information along the
lines of his resolution, if it can be found.

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Mr.. Evans Will Not Again Try to En-
ter Congress-

There is absolutely no truth in the state
ment. l am not a candidate for the nomi-
nation representative in my district, and
I have no intention whatsoever of entering
the contest
Mr.. II. Clay Evans, who recently resigned

statement to an Evening Star reporter this
afternoon after reading press dispatch
from Chattanooga saying that it was un-
derStood that he had ambitions to return
to Congress from the District that he once
represented with distinction and honor. The
present representative from the third Ten

WILL NOT GO TO MANILA.
Seventh Infantry Men Who Returned
From Alaska W Il Stay Here.

That part of the 7th Infantry which was
in Alaska and which was destined for the
Philippines will be kept at home This ac-
ton is taken on the recommendation of
Lieut. Gen. Miles, who pointed out to the
War Department that it would be unfair to
the soldiers who had served at Alaskan
stations to at once transfer them to the cli-
mate of the Philippines. The approval of
General Miles recommendation will not
prevent the entire regiment from being re-
united. which seems to have been the OBJ
ject of the assignment of the companies
from Alaska to station in the Philippines
The companies of the regiment now in the
islands will be ordered home, taking sta
ton in the Department of California. The
home battalion of the Sth Infantry in Mon
tana and North Dakota will go to Alaska.

PRIZE MONEY CASES.
Motion to Advance Them Granted by
Supreme Court

The United States Supreme Court today,
on motion of Solicitor General Richards,
advanced the hearing of a number of cases

second Monday of the next term. The
cases are those of the United States against
Admiral Sampson, the United States against
Admiral Dewey, Captain E. F. Stovell

against the Don Juan de Austria, Isla de
Cuba, Isla de Luzon. etc, and Edwin F.

All the cases are in the United States
Supreme Court on appeal from decisions
made by the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia. The aggregate amount in
volved is between 81 100000 and $1,000, ,OO0
and those directly interested in its distri-
button number between 5000 and 1900 Of
ficers and sailors in the American navy.
Title to Land Grant.
The court rendered an opinion in the case
of the United States against A. A. Green
and others. involving title to a land grant
in Pima county, Ariz. The claim was for
10000 acres, but the court of private land
claims adjudged the grant valid for only a
fraction of this area and todays opinion
affirmed that decision.
The court dismissed for want of jurisdic-
tion the case of the city of Covington, KY,
agt. the First National Bank of that city.
The case involved the validity of a Ken
tucky state law authorizing the collection
of local tax on the valuation of fran
chises. The question was passed upon in
part by the circuit court for the district Of
Kentucky and the Supreme Court refused
to entertain it because the decision of the
lower court did not cover all the points in
volved in the case and was therefore not
final.
\ motion to advance was entered in the
United States Supreme Court by the solicit
or general in the case of Simon l. Grin, who
is a subject of the Car of Russia now in

dition on charge of embeZZlement by ha-

WHITE STAR LINE IN
Shipping Gazette's New Yer
sion Of the Merger.
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
THE NEW COMBINATION A POOL
ING ARRANGEMENT.
Parliamentary Investigation of the
Deal Being Arranged by the
Committee in Charge.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Shipping Gazette
this afternoon says:
While it is perfectly true that the White
Star line has not been sold to the American n
syndicate, and that the present owners of
shares retain their holdings, the statements
made Saturday do not fully represent the
real position. We are authoritatively in
formed that while there will be no sale Of
White Star shares, there will be an ex-
change of these shares for those of the
new company. In this way the financ: al
interest of the White Star in the combine
Will be established. The two great German
companies will on the other hand make no
similar exchange of their shares for those
CT the new company; but they will enter
INTO an agreement, binding them for ten
years, ana renewable for another ten years,
by which their co operation is secured. The
Simplest way of indicating the real position
IS 10 describe the companies concerned as
entering into pooling arrangement. 1t
follows that there Will be no conpetition
between them at the ports with which the
inoiFlduai steamship corporations have
hltherto peen more particularly identified.''
Action Of Parliament.
The parliamentary committee, appointed
by the admiralty to consider the question
of subsidies as affected by the new Atlantic
shipping combine, and the best means Of
obtaining for the naval service auxiliary
steamers of greater speed and efficiency
than the ships now employed, will be pre-
sided over by the Earl of CamperdoWn, a
former lord of the admiralty
The other members of the committee are
Vice Admiral Fitzgerald, Prof Byles, Capt.
Sanford, X. N, and representatives of the
treasury and post office. The committee
Will report on the notifications necessary
IN existing contracts and what alteration
In the present rate of subsidy will be neces-
sary to prevent vessels passing to a foreign
nag without the permission Of the admi-
rally.
In the house of commons today the pres
ldent of the board of trade, Gerald Balfour,
replying TO a question, said the board had
no power to require the disclosure of any
agreement for the transfer of a British
ship to a foreign owner, nor to require the
White Star line or other lines which had
entered into the American combination to
disclose the terms of their agreements with
the American syndicate, or to produce any
documents showing the status of the per-
sons who, under the agreements, acquire a
share in the control beneficial interest
in the ships concerned. The effect of the
shipping combination, he added, was en-
gaging the serious attention of the British
government.

View Of the Admiralty.

Replying to questions on the same topic
in the house of commons today, the secre-
tary Of the admiralty, Mr.. Arnold Forster
said the admiralty was of the opinion that
the services of merchant cruisers should be
continued, if compatible with reasonable ex-
penditure. Such subsidies would not seri-
ousiy affect the expenditure on fast cruis-
ers, whose services could not be performed
by mercantile cruisers The governments s
present arrangements gave it the power Of
utilizing, in war time, a certain number of
merchant steamers and gave it lien on
steamers now being constructed.
