WASHINGTON, March S.-If it depends
on congressman to get the Northern Sc
curities company into court, it
may be safely predicted that it
never viii get there. Members Of
the Minnesota delegation say that
up to tonight none has received any
resolutions or appeals from Gov. Van
SAINT, asking for amendment of federal
statutes All, however, have read about
the proposed request. The bill will un-
doubtedly be introduced and the Mime
sofa delegation, with some exceptions,
may support it, but members of congress
from other states have no hesitation in
saying that they will oppose it. 1t will
surprise some people here if Heatwole
makes any great effort to push the bill
Members from other states are inclined
to take the ground that the fight against
the Northwest railroads is of local char
acter and that the whole movement is ill
advised, has been nurtured by competing
railroads and by the desire of unscrupu-
lous politicians to profit by ignorant pref
udice against railroad corporations. Many
members hold that the interest of the
and is not subserVed by unWiSe attacks on
them in courts They say that they are
willing to wait until the president shall
have worked out his policy of strictly en-
forcing the statutes now on the books.
They know from interviews with Roose-
welt that he is deeply interested in the
problem Of railroad delegation, and that
he hopes to accomplish something in his
administration which will relieve the
roads of petty persecution from local au-
thorities and insure the rights of ship
pers and passengers, at the same time
rendering stable investments of capital
in this great industry. The president is
disposed to move slowly and has not
reached the stage of urging congress to
act. 1t IS announced a the department
of justice today that the bill against the
Northern Securities company charging
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
is ready and that it will be filed by
United States District Attorney Purdy in
ST. Paul Monday. 1t is understood that
the bill seeks an injunction against the
combination on grounds that 'it is in
restraint of trade, and conspiracy to
interfere with free commercial inter
course between states"
The action Of the Minnesota legislature
and state officials will in no way affect
the suit to be brought by the United
| States against the merger, as the United
| States can sue in its own courts and test

BANNED BY NAVY SNOBS
GUNNER DENIED PROMOTION DEs-
PITE HIS ADMITTED WORTH.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March s.-Jo-
seph Hill, gunner Of the United States
training ship Pensacola, and survivor OF
the Maine disaster, has received official
notification from Washington, that he is
ineligible for a commission in the United
States navy. The notice says he has
passed with credit the moral, mental and
physical examination, but he was lacking
in professional qualifications, which is
supposed to mean that he does not have
the requisite social standing to give him
rank in the ward room. Hill thus meets
the same fate as Gunner Morgan, whose
application for a commission was ad-
versely passed upon last year on recon-
mendation of Admiral Sampson. Hill at
present occupies the highest rank in the
list Of petty officers, and his pay as
gunner is more than that of ensign.

NEWBURG, N. Y, March S.-Intent on

train, Michael Hoey, engineer of freight
train on the New York, Ontario & West

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington ID. C.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-House lead
ers are preparing to abandon the fight
for the reduction of the tariff on Cuban
sugar. The forces of the administration
have teen routed by the insurgents, and
the speaker and members of the ways
and means committee are looking for a
soft place to fall. A commission is the
usual device employed under such circum-
stances. 1t has the appearance of judi
cious second thought, it furnishes a pleas
ant junket at public expense for a num-
Der of congressman, and it insures delay,
which is fatal A commission to go to
Cuba is what the ways and means com
mittee now proposes to offer the insur-
gents. Mr.. Tawney and other warlike
Indians are quite willing to accept this
surrender, and if negotiations meet no
hitch between now and Tuesday it may
be expected that the beet sugar tribe will
be shouting victory and that the presi-
dent will have suffered his first rebuff
from congress.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Speaker
Henderson and Chairman Payne of the
house ways and means committee, and
Senator Allison, member OF the senate
finance committee called at the White
house today presumably in relation to the
pending controversy over Cuban reci-
procity. The president, it was said, had
in no way changed his attitude favorable
10 reciprocity. In this connection there
were renewed intimations of a special
message which would clearly set forth the
presidents views on the subject.
The Republican members of the ways
and means committee favorable to Cuban
reciprocity, have held long conferences
to perfect their organization for carrying
forward the contest There was renew
ed talk Of compromise today, one report
being that u per cent reciprocity might
be substituted for the % per cent Both
sides. however. deme0 the Il per cent
compromise story.
Tawney Claims Great Strength.
Mr.. Tawney, leader of the opponents
of reciprocity with Cuba says that liz
members are pledged against the ways
and means proposition. Mr.. Tawney
claims all the members from the beet
sugar states of California, Michigan and
Nebraska; all but one each from Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Iowa; two members
from Illinois, two from Missouri, half
the delegations from Ohio and Indiana
seventeen from Pennsylvania, fourteen
from New York. and nine from New Eng
land.
These Republicans have not tried to
agree upon anything beyond resistance to
the ways and means proposition for a
cut of 90 per cent in the tariff against
Cuban products. Their cry is mo break
in the tariff wall" They believe they
have enough votes to adopt a resolution
Tuesday night to indefinitely adjourn the
Republican conference.
