LIGHT TO GO OUT
Torch Of Liberty on Bartholdi Statue to be
Permanently ExtinSuished.

Permanently Extinsuished.
New York, Feb. l5.-Liberty's torch
is to be put out. The light in the hand
of the bronze goddess standing on Bedloe
island, in upper New York bay, that has
been allowed to grow steadily DINNER
since Bartholdi gave the magnificent
statue to the United States, is to be per-
manently extinguished. Sentiment, it
is said, which has kept the beacon burn
ing all these years, can no longer keep it
alight, and now the government will
snuff it for all time.
News of the contemplated extinguish
ment of the torch has been received here
in the form of notice to the mariners,
sent out by the lighthouse board of the
treasury department at Washington.
1t states that on or about March l, 1902,
the light will be discontinued
Installed on the island to furnish cur
rent for the torch there is powerful
electric plant, but it is unused. A few
lamps of small power furnish barely
enough illumination 30 that the beacon
can be made out by passing mariners.
Lack of congressional appropriation
is said to be the cause for disseminating
the light.

N EW ALLIANCE
ENGLAND AND JAPAN CONSUM.
MATE AGREEMENT
Which Binds the Two Countries to Work
Together for the Preservation Of the
Integrity Of Korea and Gilman Out
come Of the Events Of the Past Two
Years.

London, Feb. 14.-An important par
liamentary paper was issued last night.
giving the terms of practical alliance
between Great Britain and japan for
the preservation of China and Korea.
The paper covers dispatch sent by Lord
Lansdowne; secretary of state for foreign
affairs, January 80, to the British min
lister to China, Sir Claude Mcdonald,
and comprises signed copy of the
agreement.
In explanation the paper says the
agreement may be regarded as an out
come of the events of the past two years.
Throughout the Boxer troubles Great
Britain and japan had been in close and
uninterrupted communication and actu-
ated by similar views.
"We each DESIRE" said Lord Lans-
downe, "that the integrity and indepen-
dence of the Chinese empire should be
preserved, and that there should be no
disturbance of the territorial status quo
in China or the adjoining regions"
The discovery that their far Eastern
policies were identical resulted in each
party to the agreement expressing its
desire that their common policy find
expression in an international contract
of binding validity.
Lord LansdOwne further says that the
British government was largely influ
enced in entering upon this important
contract y..the conviction that it cou-
tains no provision which can be regarded
as aggressive or self-seeking. He says it
is concluded merely as a measure of pre-
caution, and that it in no way threatens
the present position or legitimate inter-
es.s of other powers.
His majesty's government trusts that
the agreement will be of mutual advan-
tage to the two countries, and make for
the preservation of peace, and, should
peace unfortunately be broken, it will
have the effect of restricting the area Of
hostilities.

HILLS AN SW Err
REPLY SERVED ON ATTORNEYS
IN SUITS AT ST. PAUL
To Prevent Northern Securities Company From
Securing Great Northern Stock-Great
Northern Declared to be Managed. Con.
troIled and Operated by It's Own Officers
Independently Of any Other Corporation.

st. Paul, Feb. 14.-An answer has been
served by the Great Northern railway on
the attorneys for Milton L. Bouden and
Sophia Barth Chapman in their action
to prevent the Northern Securities Com
pany from securing the stock of the
Great Northern railway. The suit was
brought in the district court of Hennepin
court January % and transferred to the
Ramsey county district court on Monday
last.
1t is contended in the answer that the
Great Northern system is now, as form
erly, managed, operated and controlled
by that company's officers and directors
independently of other corporations and
railway systems.
Regarding the relation of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad to each
other, the defendants answer is as fol-
lows:
They admit that the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern are parallel and
competing lines.
They deny that the lines of the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy system and the
lines of the Great Northern or Northern
Pacific were or are parallel lines.
1t is admitted that a corporation desig-
mated as the Northern Securi lies Com
pany was organized in November for the
purposes stated in it's articles of incor-
poration only and no others. The asser-
ton in the complaint that the object of
the Northern Securities Company was
the absolute withdrawal of the stock rep
resenting the controlling interests and
vesting it in the Northern Securities
Company with view of perpetuating q
combination of systems and placing the
entire management and control in q con-
trail body is denied in every detail and
particular.
The defendants admit that after the
organization of the Northern Securities
Company an offer was made to purchase
the stock of the Great Northern Company
at $3.50 per share and of the Northern
Pacific at $115 per share, and that it had
purchased under those terms majority
of the latter company.
1t lis admitted that the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern companies have at
all times kept up and still keep up sep
arate corporate organizations.
The defendants say the corporations
and managing boards are wholly indie
pendent of each other, and that each of
the companies, its affairs and system of
railroads, have always been and are now
managed, controlled and operated indie
pende lily Of the other said company, it's
affairs and systems.

PRESIDENT AND SCHLEY.

Cabinet Discusses What His Answer in the
Case Should Be.
Washington, Feb. 15.-One of the
principal subjects discussed at the meet

the president will make to the appeal Of

course of few days, probably by the
middle of next week, he will be ready to
announce his conclusions. Members of
the cabinet are extremely reticent as to
what the presidents views are beyond

eddy will clear the atmosphere some
what upon many of the involved ques-
tions.
