General Staff Gathering
Military Information.
KNOW CONDITIONS IN PANAMA
Systematic Plans to Learn the Military
Strength of Nations on the
Western Hemisphere.

One of the chief arguments advanced
IN support OF the general star law for
the army was that 1t would make II
possible for the srmy to obtain accurate
Information concerning the military
strength of other powers.
In quiet bat effective manner. Lieu
tenant General Young. and his associ-
ates on the general stan are gathering
this information. which has been so
much needed by the American army.

not left to the less important members
of the general staff corps.

been studying the Caribbean for the
UniteS States. Information has been
gathered about rivers and ports and
strategical conditions which will make il
possible TO proceed inteIligently IN any
movement which may be found neces-
sary.

room, under medical treatment, and
when he came out one of his eyes was
entirely blind and little sight was left

years, however, the sight growing dim
mer, until. gradually, he became to-
tally blind. In the spring of 1888 he
went with his fathers family to Jack

ain and Ireland. He was also known

AGAINST SECURITIES COMPANY.
Decision of United States Circuit
Court.


The position of the United States
government in the suit brought against
the Northern Securities company, the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways and individual officers and di-
rectors of these companies was sus-
tanned in the decision handed down in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals in st. Paul. Mimi.
The case was originally brought in
the United States district court here
but under a special act of congress
was taken at once to the court of ap-
peals, which court was to expedite the
hearing and decision of the case n
every manner possible. The taking of
testimony in this city and in New York
lasted for several weeks, and the argu-
ments in st. Louis before Circuit Court
Judges Caldwell, SanbOrn, Thayer and
Vandeventer took several days. The
decision of the court was written by
Judge Thayer and was filed in this
city, where the original action was in
stituted. An appeal to the United
States supreme court will be taken i'm
mediately.
All four judges concurred in the con-
illusions of the court, which were stat
ed by Circuit Court Judge Thayer as
follows:
"1h his is a bill, exhibited by the
United States, to restrain the violation
of an act of congress, approved July 2,
1890, entitled, AN act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful re-
straints and monopolies,' which is COM
monty termed the Sherman antitrust
act ,"
Daniel S. Lamont, who is one of the
directors of the Northern Securities
company and vice president of the
Northern Pacific, says as long as the
railroads affected by the United States
circuI. court decision in the Northern
Securities case had never lost their
identity, even if the decision were
made final by the higher court, little
difference would result.
These men who own and control
Northern Securities own and control
the Northern Pacific, Burlington &
Quincy and Great Northern. What's
the difference? The Northern Securi-
ties company simply made it easier for
these men to run the roads,
Those close to Morgan admit the
probability that the railway merger
will be knocked out by the supreme
court.

COLONEL BILL" ROOT.
Dies in Salt Lake City-Was a Noted
Character.

Dies in Salt Lake City-Was a Noted
Character.
Colonel "Bill' Root, a noted front
iersman, a companion through most Of
his life of Buffalo Bill" a friend of
Bill Nye during the latters reportorial
days in Wyoming, and an associate of
other men of Wyoming in years gone
by, who have since become famous,
died suddenly of heart failure in mis-
apartments in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He was about 90 years of age.
Colonel Root played an important
part in the settlement and development
of the far west" When a young man
he settled in Laramie, because inter
ested in the Laramie Boomerang, and
took Bill Nye in partnership with him.
This was the beginning of the latter S
fame as a writer. 1t is said that some
of the first stories which Nye pub
lshed and which helped to make him
famous, were actual adventures Of
Root. A few years later, while both
men were connected with the Boom
erang Root, armed with a six shoot
er, hunted for Nye for three weeks
with the avowed intention of killing
him. The trouble was caused by Nye
writing one of his cutting editorials
entitled "a Monumental LIAR" in
which Root figured a bit too CON
spicuously to his own liking.
AS a catcher of wild animals, Root
had an international fame. Hundreds
of deer, elk and other beasts of the
forest owe their capture on this and
the other side of the Atlantic ocean 20
his clever trapping.
Colonel Root had several fortunes,
but through generosity was never able
to keep them. The funeral will take
place under the auspices of the order
of Elks. of which he was a prominent
member.
