Ho11and,s strilke Failinr.

AMSTERDAM, April 1.-The work mems defense committee has issued a manifesto explaining that continu- ance of the strike will only expose the strikers to the vigorous penalties of the new antistrike bill, which has practi- cally become law. The committee has therefore decided to leave each trade union free to act as it thinks best. The calling off the strike has resulted in the holding of angry mass meetings of strikers. The anarchists and socialists are busy exploiting the situation, urg- ing the men to ignore the committee and continue the strike

 Great Credit.
 WASHINGTON April 1o.-Assistant Attorney General William A. Day, who took prominent part in the argument before the United States circuit court sitting recently at Ss uis in the Northern Securits Srger case, in speaking of the ecision of the court naid:
 The Judgment of the court in the Northern Securities case is one of far reaching consequences and reafirms the night of the people to be free from monopoly and establishes for all time the high purpose, courage and legal wisdom of Attorney General Knox
 By this decision doubt has been re- solved into certainty, and all may know the limits to which combinations tn restraint of commerce may go, the combination is resolved into it's original clements, with the decree of the law that they shall compete
 The victory in this great case is not merely q legal triumph. The case has been fought to success that the lines of Transportation for persons and proper ty might be kept open and that legiti- mate competition might prevail"

AGAINST THE MERGER.
Northern Securities Go Loses l
 Case.

ST. PAUL, Minn., April 10.-The po- sition of the United States government in the suit brought against the North ern Securities company, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways and individual officials and directors of those companies was sustained in the decision just handed down in the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals in this city.
 The case was originally brought in the United States district court here, but under special act of congress was taken at once to the court of. appeals, which court was to expedite the hear ing and decision of the case in every manner possible. The taking of test- nony In this city and In New York lasted for several weeks, and the argu- ments in St. Louis before Circuit Judges Caldwell, sanborn, Thayer and Van Devanter 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- Etituted. An appeal to the United States supreme court will be taken inn mediately. All four judges concuRred in the conclusion of the court. The Northern Securities company is declared to be a combination in re- straint of trade and commerce be- tween states. 1t is enjeined from at tempting to acquire further stock of the Northern Pacific and Great North ern Railroad companies, from voting at any meeting of the stockholders of either of the companies, from paying any dividends to itself on account of stock in the two roads and from ex- ercislng any control whatever over the corporate acts of the two companies.
 The Northern Securities company is permitted to return to stockholders in either of the two roads such stock as It has received in exchange for it's own stock
 Judge George F. Young, one of the counsel for the Northern Securities company, after the announcement of the decision said:
 T have no comments to make with reference to the courts decision. Of course the case will be carried to the United States supreme court.''
 Attorney General Douglas was de- lighted beyond expression.
 1T have always declared that the court would rule in this way and have felt confident that the government would win. It is great victory"
 M. D. Hum, ons of the special at torneys assisting Attorney General Douglas in the suit against the North ern Securities company, said:
 Tt will do what was desired-leave them nothing to do but to wind up the Northern Securities company. It was suggested that the business might be trusteed, but don't see how that can be done under the language of the de- cision. Of course they can appeal to the United States supreme court, and of course they will, and it is the only thing they can do.'

clement, Initiated by the Com suls, without Results Pro- visions Are Getting Scarce. SANTO DOMINGO, April 1.-The negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the questions in dispute initiated by the consuls having failed and the sus- pension of hostilities being ended Pres ident Vasquez again opened fire on the revolutionary positions. The rebels in this city replied with cannon, and the fighting lasted the whole of day and through the night, by which time Gen eral Vasquez's troops had been finally repulsed in their assault on the city. The number of killed and wounded is unknown.
 The government troops made a sec ond attempt the following morning to force their way into the city, but after heavy fight on the banks of the river they were again thrown back. The in surgent general Pepin was killed.
 President Vasquez's forces are at the suburb San Carlos, and their prospects of a successful assault on the city ap- pear remote, as it is well barricaded and defended by heavy guns. A sus- pension of arms has now taken place in order that the Red Cross corps may attend to the wounded.
 Italian and German warships have arrived here and have landed marines to protect their respective consulates. Many families have gone on board the foreign warships for safety. It is re- ported that the foreign warships will disembark parties of marines in case of pillage. The population is extremely anxious.
 Another enga cement between the government forces and the revolution ists who are tn possession of the city took place April 5. The troops of Pres ident Vasquez attacked the revolution ists and were repulsed after severe fighting, during which many men were killed or wounded on both sides.
 The Atlanta's doctor is helping to care for the wounded i'll the recent en- gagement. Direct telegraphic commit nication from this city continues inter- rupted. Tn view of the critical situa- ton the arrival of further foreign war ships is expected. Milk, meats and oth- CT country provisions are difficult to obtain here, and prices are rising.

Fiction In History.

Thomas Carlyle In his history of the
French revolution gives a description
of a naval battle June l, 1894, Oh
Brest between Villaret-Joyeuse, In
command of the French fleet, and Ad-
mIral Howe, In which he wildly de-
picted the sinking of the Vengeur.
These arr the concluding sentences:
10, all fegs, streamers, jacks, every
rag of ~trlcolor that will yet run on
ope flies rustling aloft; the whole crew
crowds to the upper deck, and with
universal, soul maddening yell shouts,
'Vive la republique! sinking, sinking.
She staggers, she lurches, her last
drunk whirl. Ocean yawns abysmal;
down rushes the Vengeur, carrying
'Vive la republique! along with her
unconquerable. into eternity"
Rear Admiral Grifiths, at the time q
lieutenant ON board the Culloden.
wrote to Il newspaper to show that
Carlyle's account had no foundation In
fact. After investigation Carlyle adj
mitted that not a word of this thrilling
story was true except that the Vengeux
sank.

of the insects so that they would drop
to the earth, where the birds could de-
YOUR them at their leisure. Our SPUR

In Norway drunkenness Is punished
by Imprisonment. AS soon as q man is
i~ncarcerated the delinquent has a loaf
and wine morning and evening. The
bread Is served in a wooden bowl full
of wine, in which it has been soaking
for an hour. The first day the drunkard
swallows his allowance willingly
enough. The second day 1t seems less
pleasing. At the end of eight or ten
days prisoners have been known to alb
stain altogether from the food thus pit
ilessly presented. This course of treat
ment finished, the drunkard, except in
rare instances, Is radically cured.
