Of Inquiry.

Washington, Jan. S.-Attorney Gen.
eral Rayner, chief counsel for Rear Ad-
miral Schley. yesterday conferred with
members of congress as to the most
suitable means of dealing with his case
in congress-. The plan most favored IS
to pass a resolution declaring Admiral

resolution is before the house commit

Foss has been considered a supporter
of the navy departments side in the
Schley controversy, it is acknowledged
that he will give the admirafs friends
a fair chance. Unless the temper or
the house has been badly judged such
a measure will be adopted if it ever
reaches a vote.
Another Schley resolution was intro

CONCERNING THEIR PLAN OF

WASHINGTON, Jan.S .-The arrival here
yesterday of Attorney General Douglas
and Attorney M. D.. Mum of ST. Paul.,
with the announced purpose on their
part to proceed in the United States
supreme court or the complaint or the
State of Minnesota against The North

1t was announced on the arrival OF
Attorney Mum hat the proceedings
in the supreme court woul be begun
promptly on the arrival of Attorney
General Douglas, who came later IN
the day. The attorneys did not make
any move in the cour during the day'
however, but spent their time consult
ing with members of the state delegd-
ton and in examining into the Facts
surrounding the law relating to the
formation of the Northern Securities
company.
1t was stated to be the purpose OF the
attorneys on behalf Of the state to pro-

The precise plan of action, nor the
time when the machinery would be set
in motion, was not determined by the
attorneys up to a late hour last night.
1t not being known how they would
proceed, it could not be ascertalnea
how the matter is to come up in the

made that Monday being motion day

sisted, and hat the proceedings go over
until next Monday, or the court might
consent to entertain a petition at any
time.
There were no indications that the

to-day. They have been in conference
and have not been willing at any time

Famous Resort for Criminals Will

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Jan. S.-The celebra-
ted hole-in-the-wall will in a short
time be only a remembrance. The hole
has been the refuge of outlaws from
Arizona, Utah, Montana, Colorado n
Wyoming, and was practically mac
cessible. II lies in the southwestern
part Of Johnson county and directly in
the line of a county road which is soon
to be built. The hole-in-the-wall is not
wide enough to allow the passage or
the road and dynamite will be brought
into use to widen the assure in the red
sandstone cliffs. The hOle-in-the-Wall
is the only entrance from the south to
a beautiful and rich valley n must
be used 20 prevent a days detour. An
other mark of the passing of h hole
in-the- wall is a petition which has been
sent into the postoffice department
asking for the establishment of a post
office at the Houck ranch, almost at
tn mouth of the hole. The settlement
of the country has been rapid since
the hole ceased to be a refuge for
bandits, and there are now enough
residents to make a postoffice a neces-
sity.

THINKS Competition IL
Not Advantageous.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Martin A.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission, In referring to the
Chicago meeting of that body, says:
1T Is my personal conviction that the
effect of consolidation is to lower rates
and to make conditions more favorable
for the shipper. Compulsory COMPETE
ton is not to the advantage of shippers
in general. 1t is sure to result in in
justice and Inequalities in rates. The
shipper who is best able to pay high
rates gets low ones, and the little man
pays high rates. 1 believe the history
Of ten years attempts to enforce COM
petition between railroads where such
competition is not natural will prove
that consolidation will result in econo-
my in carriage and advantage to the
shipper. Consolidation and proper SUI
ervision Is h proper thing for ship
