emily, thoroughly, and intelligently: neg
lected by the people Of Great Britain than
any other portion of the empire, although
II contained an area OF agricultural land
unexcelled in extent and fertility. Mr.
Hickman presented a. bare outline Of the
romantic history of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, and paid a tribute to the enterprise
and genius Of Lord Strathcona as ma
g1c1a1 who had opened and transformed
these vast sOlitudes and convinced the
Americans Of the northwestern states,
now swarming across the frontier. that
the new lands were as good as their
own. 1872.
The physical conditions, resources. and
climate were described in detail, and the
evidence Of the astonishing increase in
the population and the grain growing area
was received with satisfaction by the au-
d1ence. Mr.. Hickman, after recounting
his personal experiences in the Saskatche-
wan country, where American bankers
were buying lands, a single company TAX
ing q million acres, expressed the belief
that the invasion from the United States
did not involve the slightest danger to
British interests. He looked upon the
investment of millions of American money
in Canada as forging one more chain i'll
the informal alliance already existing in
the Ang1oAmerican confederation.
He remarked that $4,000, 600, 900 : of
English money might be invested in the
United States and that G. T. Yerkes
might undermine the whole of London,
but there would never be another such a
practical bond between Great Britain and
America as was found in the great trek
into Canada from the northwestern states
OF the union
Lord Strathcpna, who occupied the
chair; said his experience had shown that
the Americans who settled In Canada
became excellent British subjects.

A New Phase in the Legal Battle Be.
tween Giants


tween Giants. 49,
Pittsburg,, Jan. 14.-A new phase of the
legal battle between the Western Union
Telegraph company and the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad company developed to-day when
the Pennsylvania company filed a cross
bill In the United States circuit court
against the Western Union TELEGRAPH
company. The cross bill alleges that a
partnership has existed between the
plaintiff and defendant for wears, and
the court is asked to declare that all
contracts and agreements between the
defendant and plaintiff be terminated and
ended June 2 1908; that an accounting
be had and decree made fixing and de-
termining the respective rights and
standing Of the plaintiff and defendant in
ana to the property constituting the lines
OF telegraph which are the, subject mat
ter of this litigation. ...
; The court is further asked to declare
that the Western Union TELEGRAPH com
pany has no. right or authority to occupy
any portion of the property Of the plain
Til >under the acts Of congress. The
court Is asked to grant q perpetual in
junction restraining the defendant COM
pany from In any manner using or oc-
cupying the property Of the plaintiff after
the second day of June. 1908, and from
interfering with the plaintiff in remoy-
ing the property from all of the lines of
the defendant company If necessary.
The Pennsylvania company also filed
an answer and demurrer in the previous
case asking that the portion of the agree
ment that no other company or indi-
vidual be permitted to build or operate
telegraph line along the right of way
Of the railroad company be declared void
and illegal because 1t was intended to
create monopoly in the telegraph bust
ness.

Special Grand Jury Believed to Have

The Jury Calls In the Chief Prose

Ask His Advice.
a Retail Dealer Who Was Boycotted
by the Combines for Selling
Cheap Coal to the Poor.

fChtcago, Jan. 14.-Conspiracy TO- indict-
rnents against members of at least three
. hard and soft coal combina tons doing
business in Illinois and Indiana are
pected as the result Of the iabors Of the
special grand jury in the fuel famine
inquiry.
1t Is considered possible that these in
dictments will include witnesses who have
appeared before the Investigating body.
This, it is asserted, can and probably will
be done through corroborative evidence
secured tending to prove guilt brought to
the attention Of the grand jury by the
witnesses own testimony.
The jurors were advised to-day, 1t Is be-
1ieved In what instances the evidence is
deemed strong enough to convict, and true
bills may be found late to-day or to-mor-
row.
Assistant States Attorney Albert G.
Barnes. who is the chief prosecutor in
criminal cases, has been called in to aid
in designating the men against whom suf-
fcient evidence has been secured, and his
advent Is taken to mean that criminal

Forced to Charge High Prices.
Proof that the large wholesale dealers
sought to compel the small retail dealers
to sell coal at the price quoted reached
the jury when Henry Peterson, one Of the
small retail dealers, testified that he had
been purchasing his coal from one of the
large companies and was told not to sell
the coal at less than $40. He had ousto-
mers who he knew could not afford to pay
the price, and he sold them the coal at the
cost price without deducting the cost Of
hauling. AS a. punishment for doing this,
Peterson claims the company refused to
sell him any more coal, and he has been
unable to buy any since from any of the
other large dealers because they said he
would not keep the price up.
The examination Of witnesses ended to-
day and tomorrow the grand Jurors will
consider the evidence. of which that fur
nished by Edward T. Bent. secretary Of
the Illinois Operators association, and
Walter s. Boyle, president Of the Cres-
cent Coal & Mining company, is consid-
cred the most important.

specials to The Journal.
Cedar Falls, Iowa. Jan. 14.-The fuel
situation may cause the closing Of the
state normal school and the public schools
unless relief comes soon. The normal has
thu largest supply Of coal of any of the
institutions Of the city. The public
schools will hold out q few days yet. The
churches have abandoned evangelistio
services because Of g. lack of fuel Deal
ers will take no orders. Many families
are preparing to occupy one house In q
neighborhood and by combining the fuel
supply Of all to keep warm.
W1nona, MIMI, an. 14.-Inquiry among
large manufacturing plants and other
heavy consumers Of coal show that while
the supply Is none too abundant. yet all
are managing to get along. although run
ming very close to their supply. The only
plant SO far that has had to close on &C.
count Of shortage Is the Union Fiber
company, which was shut down on Mon
day and Tuesday, but it Is not expected it
will experience further trouble. The
North Western railway officials report
coal supplied to all towns along its line
west, the only place where there has been
any serious shortage as yet being at
Tracy, and this was only for a day or
two.
Garner. Iowa, Jan. 14.-The town of

There Is not a pound of coal nor a stick
of cordwood for sale.

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Jan. 14.-The southern
democratic senators are engaged in con-
tinued agitation Of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty and are endeavoring to arouse
further opposition to it. No Roadway has
been made in the .Nrection of securing
democratic caucus to oppose the treaty.
SonHe of the southern democrats are
awakening 10 the fact that the Louisiana
sugar planters are endeavoring to use
them to their own exclusive ends. Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama points out to his
colleagues that the south will benefit by
the treaty as the south will supply lum-
ber coal. iron. cotton goods. rice, hogs,
mules and dairy products to Cuba. 1t is
by no means assured that the Louisiana
senators can secure sufficient backing
from their own party to conduct an eff
fective filibuster against ratification and
in f1libuster lies their only hope of kill
ing the treaty.
~, Trust Legislation.
The outlook now seems to favor trust
legislation at this session. 1t is believed
the department Of commerce bill will pass,
providing for a bureau of corporations to
Investigate companies doing an interstate
business. This will meet one Of the
presidents recommendations. There is
also a prospect of an act to restrain COM
mon carriers from granting rebates Its
exact form has not been worked out, but
probably Attorney General Knox's sug-
gestions will be followed It is Under
stood that a. law prohibiting rebates would
please the railroads as it would insure the
stability Of rates and immunity from ex-
listing underhand competition. d..
The administration does not expect q
complete statute covering every phase Of
the trust question at this session. It
would be satisfied with the features above
expediting the trust cases in the federal
courts and there is reason to believe con-
gress will meet that wish. There has been
misrepresentation regarding the bills which
the attorney general prepared for the
house. They were not intended to be re-
garded as administration measures and
did not profess to cover the entire ground.
The attorney general merely submitted
his views to the committee. The bills
were handed Chairman jenkins without
any idea that he would introduce them.
They were to have been laid informally
before the committee simply. as SUCCESS
tions. ' jE fl..s, 81. @a<t, sZfts i >R

THE BEET SUGAR GAMES
The Cuban Treaty To-day Is Hedged
About With Still Further
Restrictions,

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day agreed
to recommend an amendment to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty providing that
the reduction Of 20 per cent in the tariff
on Cuban sugar shall not be further re-
duced by any preferential rate given to
another country. This action was taken
at the instance of the beet sugar men,
Senator Taliaferro of Florida made an
argument regarding amendments to the
provisions relating to tobacco and cattle,
and Senators Bacon and Bailey, both
democratic members Of the committee,
indicated opposition to the treaty on other
grounds
Senator Bailey took positive ground
against the policy of securing reciprocity
relations with other countries by means
Of treaties. He said that such course is
unconstitutional and that it is an inter-
ference with the authority vested in the
house of representatives to originate ar
tariff legislation. s.5 ~.
The committee voted down a motion
made by Senator Bacon to strike out
article of the treaty exempting Ameri-
can tobacco from preferential rates given
by Cuba to American articles.

-Four lines are planned and partly un-

Viroqua toward Milwaukee, to Galesville.

The latter three are in the direction of

Crosse does not materalize in the spring,
it will be only short time later before
construction will begin, as the country

the beginning Of a. number that will ra-

ing with others to be established, will
form continuous lines for long distances.
He says that the electric line proposed be-
tween Winona and the twin cities Is not
so much a dream as many believed at the
start. He confidently expects such line
to be constructed, and says that the near
future will see many developments that
are not expected at present.

RECEIVER IS ASKED FOR
The Copper Country Stockholders Of
Union Gold Begin Suit to Re-
cover Their Money.

Houghton. Mich, Jan. 14.-suit has
been brought in chancery here to recover
$4,000 treasury funds alleged to have
been misapplied and misappropriated by
the directors of the Union Gold Mining
company. A receiver is asked for and an
injunction to restrain the directors from
disposing Of the property. The defend
ants are w. J. Rainey and N. P. Nagel of
Detroit, Stephen Carkeek of Houghton
and w. H. Hosking, postmaster at Calu-
met.
The action is brought by a committee
appointed by copper country stockhold-
ers who invested $4,000 in the stock.
Trouble has existed since August, 1901,
when work at the mine in Arizona
stopped because Of the failure of the
City Savings bank of Detroit, in which
the funds were placed.
The legal action against the directors
is founded on personal representations of
the members of the board and on reports
they sent out to sell stock. The case has
aroused more interest in the lake region
than any other deal IN some tins.

COAL INVESTIGATION ORDERED

COAL INVESTIGATION ORDERED
The House Also At Work on the Coal
Rebate BILL
Washington, Jan. 14.-The large attend
ance of members in the house and visitors
in the galleries to-day was an evidence OF
the general interest in the proceedings
which were to take place upon the bill
providing for the rebate Of duties on for
eign coal for q period Of one year. 3
A Coal investigations
Mr.. Grosvenor from the committee on
rules presented a resolution supplemental;
to that adopted yesterday directing the
committee on merchant marine and fish
cries to investigate the coal situation. The
| resolution authorized sub committees OF
the committee to take testimony. It was
adopted.
Coal Rebate Bill
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.) from the committee on
rules then presented the special rule for
the consideration Of the coal rebate bill.
1t provided for the immediate considera -
ton Of the bill with provision for one
hours debate at the end Of which time
the previous question should be consid-
cred as ordered without intervening mo-
ton. Twenty minutes on a side were
allowed upon the rule
Of the present duty on coal, said that al
though the pending bill needed no de-
tense, he cid not believe it would relieve
existing conditions.
II do not believe said he. ''that ANY,
thing now can stop the greed and avarice
of the cormorants who are taking advan-
tage of the already oppressed people, but
it will satisfy a public sentiment and show
the disposition Of congress to do every
thing in its power to relieve the situa-
ton"
Mr.. Mondell (Wyo.) said the bill would
injuriously. affect the coal industry Of his
state and of the northwest generally by
permitting competition and in view Of the
stated belief OF Mr.. Dalzell that the bill
will give no relief he asked if the COM
mittee would not consider the question
of reducing the period of its operation to
six months.
Mr.. Dalzell said the proposition had
possibility Of forecasting the future of the
coal trade it had not been adopted.
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.> called attention
to the fact that the rule prevented all
possibility of amendment and he pro-
tested against such a course in such a
crisis.
Proceeding, Mr.. Richardson said when
the stress Of emergency came there was
perforce a recourse to democratic doc
trine.
Mr.. Williams (Mass.) commended that
the removal Of the duties must result in
reducing the price of coal.
In concluding the debate, Mr.. Dalzel
declared that the hypocrisy of the other
side was apparent from the remarks of
Mr.. Richardson. The opposition, he said
was simply playing politics. The demo-
