The convention was soon in an uproar and the police were called to preserve order and had to push a number of the delegates into their seats.
 Those who objected to Moores said that he was arbitrary in his ruling.
 The balance of the ticket was nominat- cd without further disturbance.

THE NEXT STEP.
Securities Company Will Appeal to

St. Paul. Minn.. April 1O.-The United States Circuit Court of Appeals having against the Northern Securities Company in favor of the government, the next step to be taken by the defendants will be to file an application for leave to ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States.
 This application will be filed with the clerk of the Circuit Court in St. Paul and will be acted on by a Judge of the Circuit Court.
 The granting of leave to appeal is a matter of form. the duties of the Judge being to see that the papers are properly executed and bond given in legal form.
 The permission to appeal having been obtained, the defendants will at once file 1t with the clerk of the Supreme Court and apply for date for the hearing of arguments which will be set by the court. No testimony will be taken, the records of the Circuit Court sufficing for pur- poses of this nature. All this will be done with the presentation of arguments by counsel representing both sides and the case will then rest with the court for de- cision.
