German Agriculturists Coming to
Study Our Methods

Berlin, March 1S.-Following the ex-
ample set by the Alfred Moseley com
mission of English worlingmen sent TO
of American workmen, party of forty
German agriculturists is to visit the
United States to study agricultural
conditions. The party left Germany
on the steamship Patricia today From
New York the agriculturists will go to
Baltimore, where they will visit the
oyster beds and canneries in that city
Washington will be next visited. The
cattle and tobacco industries of Ken
tucky will receive attention. st. Louis
will follow, and from there Omaha will
be the point of destination. A visit of
inspection will be paid TO the cattle
farms of the Standard Oil company at
Ames, Iowa, and then will come the
beet farms and beet sugar refineries of
Nebraska. By way of Denver the party
will travel TO Utah, California, as far
as Los Angeles, and also to Oregon and
Washington. On the return trip to the
east the party will pass through North
Dakota, Minnesota, thence to Milwau-
kee, Chicago Detroit, and, by way of
Niagara Falls, back TO New York.
The German government, as well as
the agricultural societies, is very much
interested in the partys trip to Amer
lea and the agricultural department of
the government will receive and make
public full reports of tLe observations
of the tourists. In addition, it has been
arranged that the agriculturists shall
be accompanied throughout their trip
by Dr. Gerber, the agricultural expert

State League to Be Formed.

st. Paul, March 1S.-At conference
to be held here today in response to a
call issued by the Commercial club of
Cannon Falls it is expected the initial
steps will be taken toward the forma-
tion of a state league of municipalities
The matter has been a subject of dis
cussion for some time and the cities
throughout the state have come to rec
ognize the fact that their mutual in
terests could be served to a wonderful
extent through the medium of organi-
zation. The elimination of freight
rate discrimination, from which cities
all over Minnesota suffer, is to be one
of the chief objects of the new organi-
zation. At the same time it is pro-
posed to hold conferences at stated in
tervals for the discussion of such ques-
tions as municipal ownership of cleo
trio light and gas plants, and the mat
ter of sanitation. quarantine, street i'm
provements, good roads and parks.

THAT MERGER CASE.
Arguments Being Heard in United
States Court Of Appeals.
IN ST. LOUIS THIS TIME.

St Louis, March 1S.-The famous
case of the United States VS.. the
Northern Securities company, compris
ing the Northern Pacific and Grea
| Northern railroads, which has been il
| litigation for some time, was calleC
for trial this morning.
AT 10 o'clock the hearing of the ar
guments in the anti-merger case of the
United States government against the
Northern Securities company, of New
Jersey began at 10 o'clock this morn
ing in the United States court of ap-
peals before Judges Sanborn, Caldwell,
Thayer and Van Daventer. Legal coun-
sci for both sides arrived last night.
Judge Caldwell announced at the
opening of court that attorneys would
not he limited as to time in the pre-
sentation of arguments. James NJ.
Beck, assistant attorney general,
opened for the government. Beck
showed the importance of the case in
his argument, showing that if the
merger should stand, it would nullify
the Interstate commerce act of 1887
and that of 1890. The Sherman anti
trust law clearly prohibits such a com
bination.
At ~ o'clock, while Assistant AttOr-
ney General Beck was still delivering
his arguments, a recess was taken
until 2 o'clock.
The case comes to St Louis for trial
because of the fact that the United
States court at st. Paul, where the
case originated through action taken
by Governor Van SAINT, and the United
states court at st. Louis are in the
same circuit and St Louis is more con-
yenient for some of the jurists and
counsel engaged in the case than St
Paul. Both sides are represented by
an eminent array of legal talent and
the trial promises TO be one of the
most notable ever held in the United
states courts in this city. The issue
at stake is equally important as upon
the decision Of the court depends the
much mooted question as to whether
the Sherman antitrust law can be
made an effective weapon in the regu-
latiOn or suppression of alleged un-
lawful combines of capital.

ARRESTED AS DESERTERS.
Two Men Working in the Local Shops
are in Trouble.
A PECULIAR CASE.

Frank II. Bush and George II. Smith
over were arrested at the Santa Fe
Pacific shops this morning by Deputy
United States Marshal Fred Fornoff
charged with being deserters of the
United States army.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are very unusual. The prisoners
were private soldiers and stationed at
Fort Wingate. About the middle of
last week Secretary of War Root tele.
graphed Major Hardie, officer in
charge of the troops at Wingate, that
any soldier whose term of enlistment
would expire in less than twelve
months. would not be sent to the Phil
ippines, but would be discharged pro
viding they would re-enlist for a short
term. There were about twenty-eight
such enlisted men at the post and they
were extended the discharge and re-
enlistment privilege. 1t seems as
though only an oath, that they would
re-enlist was eXacted from them before
they were rendered their discharges.
Some ten or twelve decided that they
had received their final discharge and
We're no longer held as enlisted men.
They left the fort on the 18th and
came to Albuquerque.
The two arrested went to work at
the local shops as boiler maker help
ers, the other eight or ten departed
for points unknown.
Major Hardie telegraphed here yes
terday TO have the men arrested. A
deputy marshal called on the two at
the shops and talked to them, but did
not arrest them. The circum-
stances We're investigated and this
morning the arrest was made Major
Hardie was telegraphed and will prob
ably be here tomorrow.

Barnum G. eailey's Original.

New York, March 1S.-The circus
has come to town and the small boys
and many of their elders, too, are hav-
ing visions of elephants, clowns and
bareback riders. This time it is the
original Barnum & Bailey show, fresh
from the triumphs of a five years tour
in Europe. The show returned to this
country last fall and during the past
few months an army of workmen have
been busy singing red paint and put
ting on gold leaf SO that everything
will look spick and span when the
grand entry takes place in Madison
Square Garden tonight There is only
one drip of bitterness in the cup of
joy for the small boy. There is to be
no street parade. The city authorities
have decided that with the construc-
tion of the subway the streets are so
torn up that a parade would endanger
the crowd of spectators.
