Tense of the capital in 1861; and where
now are located the buildings of the
federal fish commission. To the right,
as we drive westward, is the railroad
depot where Garfield was shot; and
10 the left is the long wharfage where
hundreds of thousands of soldiers en-
barked and debarked. and in 9olaip
view is the celebrated long bridge.
Crossing Seventh street we come to
the army medical museum, which be-

things in surgery and medicine; cele-

dian warfare, the Mexican, civil and

Ninth street, still driving along the

Smithsonian institution.
Next we come to the department of

WASHINGTON'S MALL.
Most Attractive Public Reservation
in the Country.
Proposed New National museum

Worth Visiting.
Especial washington letter.

TT HERE is public reservation ex-
tending from the capitol to the
white house, and it is called
"The Mall" There is we'll kept boul-
evard more than a mile and a half in
length, because of it's devious windings
through the powered park, although
the direct distance from the white
house to the capitol is only mile
1t was the purpose of the designer of
the city that this reservation should
be kept guarded from the public, so
that the presidents might have pri-
vate driveway to, the legislative halls;
but that idea did not long prevail, and
'sThe Mall'' has always been opened
to the uses of the public.
This great reservation is in South
Washington, and cannot be seen from
Pennsylvania avenue, because that
AhoSoughfare is lined with business
houses; very few of them worthy of
she situation, and substantially all of
'hems too small and Insignificant in
appearance ito be located along the.
Erandest avenue in the world.
When William NJ. Springer, of Illi
nois, was in congress he advocated and
urged the purchase of the entire south
aide of Pennsylvania avenue by the
federal government, for the purpose
of erecting thereon handsome and sub
oxtantial public buildings. The idea did
not then prevail but it is gradually
becoming popular. 1t can be safely
pFedicted that within another decade
the government will make that pur-
chase, although the cost will be ire
mendous. When it was urged by Mr..

who would operate it, not in the in
terests of the county it traversed, but
in the interests of another part of the
country.
Counsel for the state have gone into
the history of what is known as the
down in that case will play a great
part in the decision Of this case, and,
in fact, as we say, practically decides
it for the defendant.
''It has been stated that, somehow
or other, Mr.. Hill had plan of get
ting control of the Northern Pacific
railroad ever since its reorganization In
1895; that it was his thought by day
and his dream by night. Walking,
resting, at his dinner table, every
where, the piercing glance, the K-rays
of the learned gentlemen have seen his
brain at work upon that subject.
Far From the Truth.
Nov, the fact is that nothing could
be further from the truth. Take this
very PearSau case. How did 1t origi-
nate? AS counsel has been permitted
to give his views, perhaps 1 might be
permitted to state a fact. In the Pears
all case it appeared that an agreement
had been made between the Great
Northern Railway company and those
who were reorganizing the bankrupt
Northern Pacific, that the Great North
ern would guarantee the bonds of the
Northern Pacific to an amount, includ-
ing interest charges. of six millions
and quarter a year; that a traffic
agreement should be made between the
roads for their mutual advantage, and
that one-half of the capital stock Of
the proposed company, that is to say.
about fifty millions of dollars, should
be turned over to the stockholders of
the Great Northern or to a trustee, for
their benefit.
How did that come about? What
was the history of that transaction?
1t is very simple 1t involves, perhaps,
the highest compliment that was ever
paid to the ability and integrity Of
railroad manager The Deutch Bank
of Berlin and those whom it represent
ed, controlled about all the bonded
debt of the Northern Pacific railroad.
They had seen that road and the Great
Northern side by side-the Northern
Pacific the first road built, the first
on the ground, possessing every advan-
tage of position, including imperial
land grant. They had seen beside it
the Great Northern, built without Il
subsidy, without a land grant, without
any aid, and completed in the midst OF

the panic of 1898. They had seen the
Northern Pacific, with all it's advan-
tages, go into bankruptcy They had
seen the Great Northern, with all it's
disadvantages as compared with the
Northern Pacific, never failing to nav
dividend. And those Germans said ::
The man who has managed the Great
Northern is the man we want for the
management of our property And
they made a proposition to Mr. Hill to
that effect, making him a magnificent
offer Of stock in the company if he
would become also president of the
Northern Pacific.
"No Rings" in Great Northern.
'tNow, the evidence here shows that
there never had been any rings in the
Great Northern road. There has new
er been any benefit or advantage of
any kind arising out of the operation of
that road which has not been enjoyed
by each Stockholder. Mr. Hill declined
to accept any advantage to himself in
which the other stockholders of his
road could not share. The outcome of
the proposition was the agreements
which form the subject of the decision
in the Pearsan case There is not a
shadow OF evidence in this case that
any idea of controlling the Northern
Pacific road ever entered into the head
of Mr.. Hill in all that time"
Judge Young, during the course Of
his argument, quoted extensively from
the testimony of Messrs. Hill and Nor
gan regarding the conditions which led
up to the organization Of the Northern
Securities company.
Wilson Closes His Argument.
When the hearing was reopened In the
forenoon, Gen. George B. Wilson, who
commenced talking in behalf of the plain

Gen. Wilson commended that the North

Arguments in the case of the state

fore Judge LochPen, in the federal
court, yesterday. Gen. Wilson. for the
plaintiff, speaking in the forenoon, and

Northern Securities company, in the

Judge Young spoke for two hours
yesterday afternoon, but had not fin
ished when court was: adjourned for
the day. He devoted considerable time
to telling of the. organization of the
Great Northern ,ana5 Northern Pacific
roads. and of the organization of the
Northern Securities company. His
remarks, in part, were as follows:
I'm the pleadings in this case the
complainant sets up1s various rights
under the constitutionsand the laws Of
the United States as. well as under its
constitution of the United States, a
violation Of its constitution right to
carry on interstate commerce in re-
spect to shipments to and from its in
stitutions. eleemosynary educational
and others. It clainaSzthat we have
obstructed 1t in the sesecution of the
trust created by act Of congress in the
sWampland grant.
The Main cdntention.
BUT the princlpaE feature OF the
case, the one upon which much stress
is laid. is that the defendants have
violated two classes .Qfsstatutes Of the
state of Minnesota, one of which for
bids the consolidation Of parallel or
competing railway companies, or the
acquisition by one of such parallel and
competing railway Companies of the
road. property or stock (even one
| share) of the other. The other stat
ute is what is,knoWn as the state anti
trust act.
| 1T is upon these statutes that pro-
pose to rest much of my discussion,
and | will notice very briefly various
/ other charges that have been made
! against the defendant railway COM
panies and the Northern Securities
/ company in the argument, as if in
i some way, these formed part of the
main offense which rs charged.
The defendant railroads and the
Securities company are charged with
! the basesty ingratitude to the state of
Minnesota because the shareholders of
