THE REFORM PROPOSALS
They Are Rather Moderate-The
Question of a Governor.

Vienna, Feb. 1S.-The reform proposals
to be pressed on the porte are chiefly Of
an administrative end financial nature
such as the porte heretofore has promised
but never executed. One new feature is
the appointment OF governor not neces-
sarily a Christian who shall have author
Hy to act without referring to the porte
in every contingency.
1t Isl believed in diplomatic circles that
the porte will oppose the appointment of
such governor and it is seriously
doubted whether the reforms will satisfy
the Macedonians. The good faith Of the
Bulgarian government in ordering the re-
cent arrests of Macedonians is also ques-
toned, in view of the fact that the most
prominent revolutionists managed to es-

Ames. Mr.. Hamblett urged that the hear

Following the postponement District At

not attempt would be made to postpone
by dilatory methods the return of ,ex-
Mayor Ames to Minnesota and that his
client would not oppose extradition in any
way If 1t was found that his physical
condition would permit of his return at
this time.
'Habeas corpus proceedings will not be-

Sheriff j. w. Dreger filed his application

to examine DR.. Ames in order to be able
to testify as to his condition at the hear

Mrs. Ames was in Nashua all day con.

common council that the night service was
absolutely necessary in that city. So
strong was the influence put forth that the
council last night passed the ordinance
requiring FOWL carr service. The street
railway company will now find out by
actual test whether either or both cities
can furnish enough patronage of all night
workers to justify the maintenance Of the
night schedule.
It was shown at the committee hear
ing that there are 1000 or more en-
ployed at night in that city who would
use the cars. The service, it was argued,
will not only be convenience to them,
but will serve to build up the outer por-
tons Of st. Paul, which are now closed
to this class Of workers who are forced
to reside in the crowded parts Of the
CITY, With the all-night service in force,
they will be able to own homes Of their
own in more healthful locations. The
same arguments are supposed to apply In
Minneapolis.

THESE MEN ARE UNFIT
The Toronto Mail and Empire Obs
jects to Messrs. Lodge, Root !,
and Turner. q

New York Sun Special Service.
Toronto. Ont, Feb. 1s.-The Mail and
Empire, the leading organ of the conserv-
ative party in Canada, publishes an eds
torial protesting against the appointments
of Secretary Root and Senators Lodge
and Turner on the Alaskan boundary tri-
bunal. It says:
AS a member of the United States
government 1t would be too much to ex-
pect Mr.. Root as a jurist to exclude from
his mind all prepossession and sympathies
it would be his duty to entertain as q
member of the cabinet. Senator Lodge
has shown his unfitness for serving on this
international jury by his public utter.
ances on the question it has to decide.
Senator Turner has publicly stated there
is no case for reference. That is, he has
made up his mind beforehand. He, there
fore has rendered himself incapable Of
sitting on that tribunal. To these ap-
pointees the Canadian governis ent will,
we cannot doubt, make prompt objection.
and insist that their places be taken by
eminent men who are not known to have
already prejudged the case.

TWO RACES ARE ENEMIES
What Secretary Chamberlain Finds
as the Result of His South
African Trip.


Cape Town, Feb. 1s.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and his party arrived here
to-day and met with a hearty reception
from crowd Of about 10000 people. Dur
ing the reading of one of the addresses
presented to Mr.. Chamberlain Prime Min
lister Sprigg arrived on the platform and
was llooted with much vigor.
Mr. Chamberlain in the course Of his
speech made powerful appeal for the
union of the races. He admitted, however.
that since his arrival in Cape Colony the
had become less hopeful of immediate
satisfactory results from his visit as he
found that the antagonism of the two
races had become chronic. Rebellion was
exalted into heroism and loyalty was dis
countenanced and ostracized, even the
pulpit joining in the propaganda, tend
ing to intensity the separation Of the
races.
On leaving the platform Premier sprigg
was again made the subject Of a hostile
demonstration.

THE STEEL TRUST FINDING
Opinion in Favor Of tho Corporation Il
Filed at Trenton.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 1S.-Justice Van
Sickle to-day filed a written opinion: Of
the court OF errors and appeals in the
United States Steel Corporation case de-
cided a short time ago. The opinion lei
in the case of the suit brought by J. AS
pinwall Hodge, who sought to restrain this
corporation from converting s2oo,00o,o00 Of
preferred stock into bonds.
The decision was in the corporahon'Si
favor. The written opinion, which COW
ers thirty nine pages. is important in de-
fning the relationship of directors and
stockholders to corporations. The opinion
holds that the directors have the right to
vote at stockholders meetings to the ex-
tent of their stockhoIdings.
The opinion further states that it is
a well established rule that directors Of
corporations cannot legally enter into con-
tracts where they will be specially bene-
fitted without the knowledge or consent
OF the stockholders This knowledge and
consent existed in the case at hand.
The opinion also says that when the
bylaws of a corporation adopted in pur-
suance Of authority conferred by the state
provide that a majority vote by the stock
holders meeting shall be binding on q
corporation every stakeholder is bound by
the results Of such meeting.

st. Louis, Feb. 1s.-Owing to the scar
city of coal at the -Four Courts" which
contains the jail, police headquarters,
criminal courts. etc, the building was
closed to-day. Not q pound of coal could
be found in the engine-room, and old
floors are being torn up to keep the $50
prisoners in the jail warm. This fuel will
be exhausted by night. The grand jury
investigation into investment company
methods was suspended and the two
branches of the criminal court and the
court Of criminal correction adjourned for
the day.
This condition of affairs is the result Of
negligence the part Of a contractor
who failed to deliver coal already con-
tracted for. Other city institutions are
also short of fuel and an investigation
will be held to ascertain who is to blame
and to compel fulflment of contracts in
the future.

There can be no doubt, said Judge
Grosscup, that the agreement of the
defendants to refrain from bidding
against each other in the purchase of
cattle, is combination in restraint Of
trade; so also their agreement to bid
up prices to stimulate shipment. In
tending to cease from bidding when
the shipments have arrived. The
same result follows when we turn to
the combination of defendants to fix
prices upon, and restrict the quanti-
ties Of meat shipped to their agents

can be nothing less than restriction
upon competition, and, therefore,
