cerpts FroW the Report.

Washington, Jan. 27.-A report pre-
pared by Representative Littlefeld to
accompany the antitrust bill reported
to the house by the judiciary committee
was presented by Representative Over
steet, of Indiana, MIR. Littlefield being
in New England investigating the coal
situation along the coast The report
treats of the trust question at some
length. Speaking OF the bill reported,
it says:
"'ts purpose is to more effectively
regulate and control, on conservative
lines, industrial and business comb,na-
tions which in their operation prove
injurious to the public welfare. 1t is
believed to be a decided step in the ad-
vance of existing legislation. 1t in
wolves the idea of publicity and addi-
tional legislation to prevent discrimi-
nations by rebate or special privileges
ON the part of the railroad companies.
1t seeks to prevent the effort to destroy
competition in particular localities by
discrimination in prices, prohibits rail-
road companies from transporting goods
in violation of the law, and contains
provisions to facilitate the enforcement
of this act as well as existing legisla
ton on the same lines.
at is through the medium of con-
snmers, the purchasers of Its products,
that the over capitalized combinations
find their most extensive and oppress-
i've contact with the public. Successful
overcapitalization involves the necess-
ity of declaring dividends upon the
overcaptalzation equal to a dividend
upon actual value, thus giving to the
stock an earning capacity and creating
an artificial market value.'
What Publicity Will Do.
"To what extent we are now paying
exhOrbitant prices to produce abnormal
returns no one can tell, as no reports
are now made to any authority, state
or national, that give any adequate in
formation on that point. This is one of
the things that this bill seeks to accom-
plish.
publicity, by creating an intelli-
gent public sentiment, will 20 far to-
ward amelioration of oppressive condi-
tions. If it is fact that competitors
are rnthIessly destroyed and prices are
increased in order that enormous re-
turns may be received upon relatively
insignificant investment, and the
seacrhlight of publicity can be turned
thereon, it is doubtful if the persons
who are responsible for such repehen-
sible condition of affairs could long
stand the welI-directed public indigna-
tion that would be thus aroused.
ut is not claimed that publicity is
cure-all. 1t is hoped, however, that
by its application the operation of nell
trail laws may in degree alle>i tie ex-

SETTLERS COME FIRST.
Federal Supreme Court Hands Down
Important Decision.

Important Decision.
Wshingtaon, ina. 27.-The United
States supreme court has rendered,
through Justice Harlan, an opinion
affecting the Northern Pacific land
grant.
The case was that of Peter and Henry
Nelson, who located upon unsurveyed
lands within the Northern Pacific land
grant in the then Territory OF Washing
ton in 1881.
This was after the railroad company
had fled it's general map, showing it's
proposed line, but before it had filed
it's map of definite location.
In the opinion handed down by JUS
tice Harlan, it is held that the title OF
the settlers was better than that of the
railroad company and that until the
definite map was filed congress had con-
troll OF the lands within the grant, re-
gardless of the general map.
In dissenting opinion Justice Brew
re said the opinion reverses the judy
ment Of the court twenty years ago, by
which the interior department had ever
since been controlled in dealing wi h
disputes between the railroad company
and settlers like the Nelson's.

PLEASES LONDON PRESS.
Comment on the Boundary Treaty
Is Very Favorable.


London, Jan. 26.-The signature of
the Anglo American treaty to settle the
Alaskan dispute at Washington, Satur-
day, has given great satisfaction to the
English press, on the ground that it
furnishes, at critical moment in the
Venezuelan trouble. an undoubted proof
of the uninterested friendiness existing
between Great Britain and the United
States. This is the point which is elab-
grated in the editorials on the subject,
almost to the excursion of discussion of
the merits of the arrangements con-
cluded. Little doubt is entertained
here that the United States senate will
accept the treaty, and that the commits
sion will ultimately meet in London,
hut regret is expressed that no provi-
sion Is made for the appointment of an
umpire, because in the event of the
commission being equally divided in
opinion, it is said. the controversy will
be very little nearer settlement.
One paper thinks that in this event,
the dispute would be referred to the
Hague tribunal. 1t is hoped, however,
that the publication of the text OF the
treaty may show a more favorable pros
pect of the commission arriving at a
compromise, thus settling long stand
ing dispute, of which, it is admitted, a
settlement is imperative if interna-
tional friction is to be avoided.
The Times rejoices at the construc.
tion of the proposed commission, which,
it says, implies high degree OF conf.
dence on each side in the equity and
friendship of the other side.

CURE FOR A KICKING COW.

There Are Many Prescriptions, but the
subjOned Ia Recon- m ndcd.
An old farmer-old enough to know
better-says that the way to cure a
cow Of kicking is to catch her by the
leg just as she is about to kick. She
should be grasped firmly, as close to
the hoof as possible, and the grip must
not relax until the kicking impulse Is
over. or course the kick must be
headed off. as 1t We're, and not met
