RAILROAD MERGER
Is KNOCKED OUT.
Federal Government Wins Its
Celebrated Case Against
PierpOnt Morgan andJ. j.
Hill.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 10. The
Northern Securities Co. the greatest
railroad merger in the history of the
world, is completely knocked out in a
decision. handed down at noon Thurs
day by United States District Judge
Thayer. The option of the court
holding that the com oination is illegal
because it is in restraint of trade is
supplemented by the issuance of an
injunction restraining the Northern
Securities Company from voting the
stock of either the Northern Pacific or
Great Northern Companies, the merged
railroads and the officials of the roads
from allowing the Northern Securities
Company to vote their stock or to paw
dividends to the Securities Company.
The Securities Company is allowed to
return the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern stocks to the previous
holders
This decision Ia the most sweeping
ever aimed at combinations or so-called
trusts. Every contention of the gov
eminent is upheld The decision of
the reviewing Judges, Sanborn, Cald
WELL Thayer and Vandeventer, is
unanimous. Judge Thayer wrote the
decree.
The Judges hold that the two roads
are parallel and competing lines, and
that their consolidation, therefore, is
in restraint of trade and commerce.

Board of Directors Chosen at Meeting at
Nashville Saturday.-Contract Let
Monday For Construction.

! at the meeting.
Mr.. William Mckinley president Of
! the Pittsburg Financial Company, wal
! present and submitted proposition tt
build the road and equip it, the worG
to be completed in one year. The prop
sition was discussed in the meeting
and a further discussion will be held
this afternoon, at which time it is
probable that the award of the contract
will be reached.
If not the members of the company
will remain in the city until Monday,
when the plans will be definitely set
tied and the contract let.
The main obstacle in the way of the
rapid promotion of the work is the
scarcity of material. 1t IS imposib
to get 30 pound rails for earlier delivery
than November l, and 10 pound rails
such as the company Will use, cannot
be secured until fall.
The company is now in a position
to let the contract for iron for fall
delivery, but it is their wish to have
the delivery made by June 1, and this
is the only thing on which the contract
for the rails hinges.
The company will require for build
ing itS lines ABOUT lOO miles OF ~
pound rails the length of the road
being So miles and it is estimated that
fully fifteen miles will be required for
sidings.
Mr.. G. w. Ruth, vice President of
both companies, announced that the
work would be pushed with vigor from
this time on, ana while it moves more
slowly than would be expected on &C
count of delays in getting materials
and similar set backs, the people of
Tennessee would see the road In opera
ton In comparatively short time.

REPUBLICAN CLUB
HAS HOT FIGHT
Union League Club of New
York Finally Tables ResO-
luiiOns Against the South.

New York, April 10.-The Union
League Club, of this city. will not take
up the fight for negro suffrage IN the
South. As was told il the these dis
paches yesterday, the Committee on
Politica! Reform OF the Club, made a
report to the regular April meeting
recommending drastic action, Includ-
ing a petition to Congress to cut down
the Congressional representation of
those Southern States which curtailed
the electoral privileges of negroes, and
to set aside fund to employ eminent
counsel to test in the courts the legal
ty of the new State constitutions of
Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia and
other States, which, it is claimed,
against the Negrv.
The fact that the committee was to
report called out one of the largest
meetings tho club has had in years. 1t
may be stated That there are two fac
tions in the club over the question of
negro suffrage, the radicals, who were
back of the report of the committee
and the conservatives, who believed ii
to be mistake to interfere in the mat
ter and that it was not proper ques-
ton for the club to take up
1t was after midnight when the
secretary made this announcement:
The report of the committee on
political reform has been LAID on the
able. l have nothing to say further
about the proceeding
1t was lear ned, however, that the de-
pate over the report wasred hot. Both
ides fought desperately ana plain Ian
,uage was usel during the discussion.
I was one of the b1tterest fights, in
act, in the history of the Union League
jlub. When it came to vote it was
ound the conservatives had majority !
nd motion to table the report was
dopted just about midnight.
