SWEEPING IN
It's SCOPE
Effect of Strict Enforcement
of Sherman Law.
PROBLEM is WEIGHTY
Congress May Enact Amendments
Hostile to the Railways.
MERGER IDEA MOST DANGEROUS
Unusual Risk Is Taken by Persons
Thus Investing Their
Securities.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March 20.--The Washington
correspoI dent of the Chronicle says: Con-
gress is awaiting with keen interest the
outcome of the suit brought by the at
torney general against the merger OF the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways under the Sherman act The
the Sherman act will have to be so
amended as to make 1t an effective
weapon against the vast schemes OF con-
solidation and merger which have been
announced and are under consideration
1t is conceded that these merger enter
prises are at best subject to the law max
Ing power of congress in SO many partic-
ulars that persons who invest in their sc
curities are taking an unusual risk. If
congress should ever reach a point in it's
power to control Interstate commerce
where it will pass laws prescribing maxi
mum and minimum rates for railroads
the officials of security holding corpora
lions would be nowerless to protect their
stockholders
Arbitrary Raising of Rates.
It is believed in washington that the
Inevitable outcome OF merger such as
that which is now being attacked by the
attorney general, even presuming that. the
supreme court will hold that the Sherman
law does not apply to it, would be an ar
bitrary raising of rates in order to pro-
vide dividends for stockholders who have
contributed the new capitalization.
This may not happen while times are
good and the railroads are earning enor-
mously increased revenues. but a serious
slump in commercial prosperity would
mean corresponding reduction OF rail
road earnings at existing rates and then
would follow almost to a certainty the
raising of rates to keep the revenues ur
to the point required to pay dividends
upon the stock of: the security holding
company.
Members of congress are satisfied that
sooner or later this subject will be pre-
sented to congress in a form that Will ne
cessitate congressional action. They arr
convinced that such action will be more
or less hostile to the railroads.

HITTING HOAR
Senator Beveridge Stirs UP Commit

Senator Beverfdge Stirs UP Commit
tee by a Question.
Washington, March 2O-A question bv
Senator Beveridge regarding the effect on
the Filipinos of literature sent from the
United States precipitated lively discus
sion at the meeting of the Philippine
committee to-day. General Otis, who wa
on the stand, said that when Mabini was
brought in he had pile of New York
papers with him which had antagonized
the sovereignty of the United States in
the Philippines.
Did he have any of Senator Hoar's
speeches?' inquired Senator Patterson.
''Oh, yes; those speeches were all over
the islands, replied the witness.
Senator Allison, who was in the chair.
said that he would exclude senator's
speeches. Senator Patterson said that
senators should not be attacked from
masked batteries.
Il asked the extent to which II gave
ala to the insurrection,'' said Senator
Beveridge.
Senator Allison thought that where a
senator's name was mentioned it gave
him the right to come before the commit
tee and defend himself, and it should he
excluded. Mr.. Beveridge disclaimed any
intention to reflect on any senator and
withdrew his question.

A Caustic memorandum.
To the public the most interesting part
Of the order is to be found in the memo
randum in which the court wakes very
sarcastic. He shows that when the pres
ent company was reorganized on May 4,
1898, there was practically a deficit Of
23, $50 from its predecessor. 1t has done
a. tremendous business since then, but
upwards Of 80 per cent has been outside
Of the state. Owing to the 'endless chain
features of the company's plan the liza
bility grew each year. The court shows
how this increased and how there was a
continual deficit. Up to December Z, 1901,
the memorandum says the deficit had in
creased in three years and sefen months
and three days from s23,52O to $780,
200 25. Should the growth of the asso-
citation continue at the same ratio as
during the past three years the results
will be simply immense. At a steady in
crease of so per cent a year in eighteen
years there would be 10000, 900 contracts
| in force and the amount necessary to re-
deem would be only $4,000, 100000, sum
which would make the gigantic steel trust

HERES WAR, SURE
General Miles Throws Down tins
Gauntlet to Secretary Root.

General Miles Throws Down the
Gauntlet to Secretary Root.
Washington, March 20.-General Nelson
Miles to-day told the senate commit
tee on military affairs that if the bill
introduced by Senator Hawley at the in
stance of the war department for the or
SANITATION Of a general staff for the army
should become a law he would decline
longer to hold his commission. The rea-
son he gave is that the bill is utterly
subyersive Of the interests of the mill
tary establishment and ne SAID tnat ne
would not be party to such proceed
ing to the extent even OF continuing TO
hold his place. The statement was made
at a. prolonged hearing by the commit
tee behind closed doors. The portion OF
the bill to which General Miles directed
his especial criticism Is that contained
in section Z:
That from and after the passage OF TINS
act the senior general officer of the army snail
he assigned to command such portion Of the
army as the president may direct, or be de-
tailed to duty in the general staff corps. All
duties prescribed by law for the commanding
general of the army shall be performed by
the chief of general staff or other general
officer designated by the secretary OF war;
provided, that so long as the present lieu
tenant general of the army continues on the
active list he shall be the chief of the gen
era1 staff. and upon the separation from active
service of the said lieutenant general OF
the army, said office. except as herein pro-
yided, shall cease.
General Miles said that II this provi-
sion should become law 1t would nave
the effect of destroying the unity Of the
army, and he read authorities, including
Napoleon, Washington, Wellington, Cass
and Grant, to show the necessity of hav-
ing one head to the army and of control
ling authority. His own experience and
observation had, he said, had the effect
OF confirming these views. He instanced
the beginnine of the war with Spain:

had been located definitely at Santiago and
fastened to the home of Secretary Long,
where the news was confirmed. >Shafter was
ing him to start Immediately for Santiago,
with the result that the army was soon on
its way to the point where its presence was
needed. Suppose 1 had been compelled to
get around to a dozen or more majors, as
many colonies, and any number Of generals
constituting general staff?
He called attention to the clause re-
lieving him of command and making it
possible for any other officer to be ap-
pointed He declared that under section
Z it would be competent to promote
captain to the position of brigadier-
general one day and the next day make
him chief Of staff, thus practically plac-
ing captain at the head of the army.
Warming up, he asserted that the bill
was calculated to accomplish no purpose
except to allow the secretary of war and
the adjutant- general to promote the in
terests of their personal favorites.
General Miles declined to criticize the
then secretary of war, General Aiger, for
the condition of affairs at Tampa, saying
that probably anyone else in the position
would have done about what he did. He
laid the general blame for this condition
Of unpreparedness at the door Of con-
gress
General Miles told the committee in
confidence that with the bill law he
could now name the men who would hold
the places of honor provided under it, but
the committee did not ask for the names.
