Trenton, N. j., March 12.-Suit was
started in the United States circuit
court to restrain the collection of an
assessment of SO on each share of the
preferred stock of the American Alkali
company and to wind up the affairs of
the company. The bill charges w.
w. Gibbs of Philadelphia with fraudu-
lent transactions in connection with
the promoting of the company and
charges him with obtaining 100000 in
cash and $12,000,000 of the common
stock of the company through secret
arrangement between himself and the
Commercial Development company,
limited, whose patents were bought by
the Alkali company for 100000 in
cash and $24,000,0O0 in common stock.
The money was paid and the. common
stock was issued to the developing
company and half of each through the
secret agreement, it is charged, was
turned over to Gibbs. This large
amount was to have been paid upon
the representation by Gibbs of the
great value of the patents to be OBJ.

the manufacture OF caustic soda. The
bill charges that $250,OOO was invested
In a plant in Canada, that large sala-
ries. were paid and that Gibbs, by
holding SO much stock, was the dom
inant spirit in the company. It is
alleged that the company never made
a dollar profit.

Maine, one of the leaders of the oppo.

The motion to adjourn was made by
Speaker Henderson, and the opponents
OF reciprocity. claimed after the ad.
journment that some of their friends
did not care to offend the speaker by
declining to heed his appeal for a fur.
Their conference. Earlier in the even:
ing the opponents of reciprocity had
insisted on a vote upon the main prop
osition. The session was a stormy
one. Mr.. Sibley Of Pennsylvania of.
fered a compromise proposition for
the reciprocity arrangement to last
until Dec. 1, 1908, which he claimed
had the approval and endorsement of
President Roosevelt. He also said he
had assurances that if the house
granted 20 per cent concession the
senate would not increase it.

LIVELY DEBATE OCCURS.
Senate Discusses Election by Direct
Vote of the People.

Washington, March 12-For several
hours the senate had the ship subsidy
bill under consideration. Mr. Mallory
of Florida made an extended speech
in opposition to the measure. He an
alyzed the bill carefully and held that
there was no good reason for it's en-.
actment into law, saying he believed
it would not accomplish the result
hoped for it by it's promoters. His
opposition was based chiefly on the
ground that it would extend the ia.
vor of the United States treasury to
private individuals and corporations
without a just return for the expendi-
ture.
Prior to the consideration of the
subsidiary measure a lively debate
occurred over an effort on the part of
Mr.. Berry of Arkansas to ascertain
when the committee on privileges and
elections might be expected to report
to the senate the resolution providing
for the election of senators by the di-
rect vote of the people. Mr. Hoar of
Massachusetts, indicated his vigorous
opposition to such resolution on the
ground that it would subvert the fun
damental principles upon which the
senate was founded.

SEALERS' STRIKE ENDED.
Agreement Reached and the Ships Put
Out to Sea.

Out to Sea.
St. Johns, N. F., March 12.-The
sealers' strike here is ended and the
sealing steamers have sailed for the
ice foes. The men refused the own
ers' offer of $3.50 for seals, besides the
abolition of all berth charges. AS a
result of this refusal public opinion
strongly condemned the men, the con-
cessions accorded by the owners be-
ing regarded as liberal. Some of the
crews then withdrew from the major
thy and decided to accept the owners
terms. The police afforded these men
protection and enabled the owners and
crews to reach the ships, in spite of
threatening overtures of the strikers.
In the meanwhile the feeling had
spread and scores of men joined the
other ships.
The aggressive strikers boarded
these vessels and drove the men
ashore but they could not keep pace
with the defections. Gradually con-
tingents joined the ships and finally
the committee of the strikers, seeing
that the situation was getting beyond
their control, decided to accept the
owners terms and ordered the strike
off. The committee directed all the
men to join their ships and within two
hours the ships had crews and were
sailing to sea. ~. a.... -. @E.
