saying a word about this cutoff or the tunnel through the sierras. He spoke of the recent fall of a section of the cutoff into the lake to show the impracticability of the scheme.
 Senator Foraker said that 1t was not necessary for the complainants to show that the defendants were doing wrong. but to show that they might do it. A change in tariff rates would work detri- ment to the stockholders of the Southern Pacific.
 Senator Foraker, in closing. said the important question was restraining the Union Pacific from voting the Southern Pacific stock at the annual neting. He contended that the two roads were com- petitors and that the tendency was toward centralization and monopoly. Senator Foraker read an affidavit from Kenneth G. White, showing a statement of the operations of the Southern Pacific from June 90. 1902. to January. 1903. The gross earnings for that period were $52 .ss5. .551. net earnings were $12,575.o2s leaving . deficit for the period of N,2a6,s ,se9.
 The month of January increased the deficiency $l71.17o.
 Senator Foraker stated that in the face of a showing like this. counsel for de- fendants contended that the complain ants had no right to complain. If the Union Pacific: he said. wished to build tunnels, cut-offs and the like, they should issue securities and not put the burden of debt upon present stockholders. The Union Pacific takes these earnings of the Southern Pacific to make Improvements and pile up large deficits.
 Judge Lurton announced upon the con- clusion of the argument of Senator For aker that 1t would take several days to go over the record and that he would file his decision next Monday with the clerk of the United States Court at Louisville.
 Some of the counsel returned to their homes today. and the others will leave tomorrow morning.

 MT. Jerome, in an address. criticised Mayor Low for timidity-and lack of leadership. saying;
 "The mayor has established a field of his own personality. He Is not a leader of the people. He does not advocate a principle unless he has a policy of in- surance underwritten on 1t as to where 1t will lead him. That is why I feel bitter.
 MT. Low Is honest and upright, but he can't help being corn constitutionally he can't help being born constitutionally done in fifteen years has been done under him.
 Speaking of the reform movement. Mir. Jerome said: "It Is weak because 1t has not taken into consideration the principles of individual leadership. We can and must get back to these principles and win out with strong hands"

WILL DOCK AT NEW ORLEANS.
Test Will Be Made to Settle the Diff
 ference of Opinion.

Washington. April 3-Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling has approved the recommendations for the docking of the battleship Illinois at the New Orleans yard this month. although the Bureau of Navigation would have preferred that the vessel go to another yard.
 For some time there has been some un- certainty about the capacity of the New Orleans dock. some official of the depart ment being averse to its use for large battleships. The Acting Secretary desires that this question be settled once and for all and this will furnish a test of the docks worth.
 If the battleship can be accommodated easily, 1t will result in the more frequent use of the dock for the vessels of simi- lar type.
