BEFORE CIRCUIT JUDGES.
Northern Securities Company Case
Is Proceeding at 81. Louis.


Is Proceeding at 81. Louis.
st. Louis, March 1S.-For the first
time in the history of the United
States courts, and by authority of
special act of Congress passed last
February, four United States circuit
judges are sitting together to hear
arguments in a case, the trial being
the light of the government against the
Northern Securities Company of New
Jersey, in the celebrated merger suit
Under this special act, the United
States Circuit Court for the district of
Minnesota is holding its session in st.
Louis and by this arrangement me
case can go Immediately from this
court to the Supreme Court of the
United States, whereas, in the general
court proceedings, it necessarily would
so through the Circuit Court of APP
ycals. and a delay of from two to three
years probably would ensue.
Most of to-days session was taken
VI. with the presentation of argument
for the government by Assistant At
tcrney General James NJ. Beck. After
he had concluded, late in the afternoon.
argument for the Northern Securities
Company was begun by former Judge
George b. Young of St. Paul.
Assistant Attorney General Beck be-
gan speaking soon after court con-
Vened, and with the exception of two
hours of recess, he spoke continuously
until nearly o'clock. The court room
was crowded to hear his argument. Mr.
Beck referred to the Wabash injunc-
ton case which is being tried in the
United States District Court at the
other end of the building, saying that
the laws are such that employees of
railroad who do not own one cent OF
stock, or one rail of the road can be
enjoined from striking, thereby inter-
fering with the interstate commerce by
stopping traffic; but that unless this
court so ruled, the government is pow
erless to prevent the owners of rail-
roads themselves from merging,
preventing competition, and thereby
interfering with the very points the III
terstate commerce act sought to pro-
tect.
When Assistant Attorney Beck had
finished former Judge George b.
Young of st. Paul began presentation
OF arguments in rebuttal for the North
ern Securities Company After Judge
Young had spoken for half an hour,
court at 4:30 o'clock adjourned until
tomorrow, when Judge Young will
continue his argument

Mr. Stevens Figures as the Friend and Adviser of L0ttie Wilson
 According to May Russell

In the .Joilcy case yesterday the tes- timony of the prosecution star witness was ilatly contradicted by May Russell, q friend of Lottie Wilson. 1t will be remembered that I.Ottic Wilson denied having but slight acquaintance with May Russell and denied vigorously that she had ever made any statements con corning James and that she had said she would "fiX JOllcy and send him over the road 1t also developed from Miss Russel.'S testimony that Lottie had told her that s. II. Stevens. editor of the Gold Digger had come to her and told her he would give her any thing she wanted if she would testify against Jolley; he would see her through, and that Stevens was her best friend.
 Another important witness for the defense was Dr. l,ininger. Today Marshal Richards and j. D. Jourden were on the stand. and stated positive ly that no "boodle money" had ever been received by them directly or in directly. from any source.
 The evidence will probably be all in by Friday next.

 The witness said he heard some oaths. He heard Jolley say: "If you open your month Cd n you I'll fix you The witness moved away and James and JOlley continued to walk toward Snake river. Soon after he heard shot: he heard second before he had taken two steps and then a third before he had run lJ or 20 feet from where he had started. He saw James fall to the ground but couldn't tell the position of .Iolley, nor did he notice the position of James hands.

J. E. Connolly. a well known Candle creek miner arrived in town yesterday. He was accompanied by Mr. Gold stein of Candle City. Mr. Connolly left Candle on May 22, coming by way of Fish river. The trails were bad and travelling was hard. There is little news to report from Candle. Every body there is anxiously awaiting the coming of warm weather. There is still abundance of snow and ice and there were no signs of an early break up of the rivers or kOtzebue Sound.
 Mr. Connolly does not think that there will be great deal of work done on Candle this season. The gold is un- doubtedly there but it will take money to open up the ground, and this few of the miners have at their command
