order to get a good view. A section of
the footwalk gave way. Some struck on

The Fight to Continue.

Governor Van SAINT said this afternoon:
st do not feel in the least discouraged
by the decision. It simply means that the
case will have to be finally decided by
the court Of last resort The state will

by its attorney general and his able as
sociates to protect the interests Of the
people. The fight will continue until our
laws are vindicated and upheld; until it
is conclusively shown that by indirection
results cannot be accomplished which our.
laws were intended to prevent; that the
creatures OF another state cannot be
used to accomplish here that which Is
against the declared policy Of this state;
that competition shall not be smothered
that 1t shall be. open. free and potential;
that dummies shall not be directors, Off
GERS. and agents to operate the railroads
of Minnesota; that our laws shall not be
nullified and rendered ineffective.
II have faith to believe that the final
decision will be in favor Of the state and
that. the United States supreme court will
be with us. In so far as this decision will
modify or destroy the wholesomme effect
of the decision of. the court in the gov

Z Judge yIOchren has decided in favor Of
the Northern Securities company in the
action brought by the state, Of Mime
sofa. ~ A q
The decision was filed in ST. Paul at 10
o'clock this morning. It dismisses the
bill of complaint filed by the state. 8sisses5
The case is. decided squarely on its
merits. Judge Lochren takes direct issue
with the circuit court Of appeals for its
decision in the government case. This is
interesting, in view of the fact that when
the state appeals this case it will come
before that same court.
Judge Lochren says he is compelled to;
reject the doctrine that person can be
held to have committed, or to be purpos-
ing and about to commit a highly penal
offense, merely because it can be shown
that his pecuniary interest will be thereby
advanced" He holds with the defense on
every point of the case.
The Northern Securities company, he
says, was only a holding company, and
there is no evidence to show that it has
exercised any control over the two rail-
roads. There is no evidence to show that
1t was formed by the railroad companies.
It Is not a direct restraint of trade, and
hence does not come directly under the
Sherman law. It is not consolidation,
and hence does not violate the state law.
Decision Surprise.
Such a sweeping decision surprises
every one. Many had expected the state
ito lose on the question of jurisdiction.
Few expected Judge Lochren to hold that
a consolidation did not exist.

aged over the final outcome, and the case
will be prosecuted with all the vigor Of
which we are capable.
It Is certain, that the state will appeal
but the case will not: go direct to the SUI
preme court. 1t must first be determined
by the circuit court Of appeals for this
district, the same court which handed
down the decision in the government case
BY the time it has been decided in that
court, the government case should reach
a final decision at hands Of the supreme
court Of the United States.
What Political Effect7
Opinions differ as to the political effect
! Of the decision In Minnesota. It is hailed
with delight by the antagonists of Gov
ernor Van SAINT as blow to his anti.
merger policy. The decision may have
a. different effect, however from what
they expect It means that the merger Is
still an active issue, and If the people OF
the state are still with the governor, they
may insist on his continuing in office. T

This Is a Story Of an Adventure In
the Forests of Venezuela.

the TIT GoAo OF NCUGGhGlas
While out on a hunting expedition in
the forest-coYered mountains of Pavia,
in eastern Venezuela, l became dissat-
isfied with the neighborhood and start
ed out to move further on into the for
est, where ground was being cleared
for a new plantation of cacao, writes
a correspondent of the Indianapolis
News. While trudging through the
woods carried all my necessaries in a
sack slung over my shoulder Among
its contents were three books, one Of
them a copy of Don Quixote, in the
original Spanish. Two young Venezue-
lans accompanied me, and as we went
along lightened their fatigue by tell
ing them stories.
The journey was long and in the
afternoon it began to rain; so that, wet
to the skin, tired and hungry as wolves
we arrived, just as night was closing
in, at the place where the trees were
being felled. In the middle Of the
clearing there was the usual "ayupa,"
or shed of palm leaves resting upon
upright posts. Beneath this we swung
our hammocks, and then proceeded to
make supper.
We had not a dry match left, and
there was no one there but ourselves
so that the best we could do was to
eat our casava bread in the dark and
wash it down with some water which
we luckily found in calabash.
Our hammocks and the spare salts
of clothes we had brought rolled Up in
them we're fairly dry, so that we lay
comfortably enough. But sleep was
long in coming. We tried to talk en-
tertainingly, but my storytelling en-
ergy was gone; and the most we could
do was to keep up an intermittent CON
versation.
How jolly it would be-" said one OF
the Venezuelans, "if we had lamp
and some books"
why, I've got Don Quixte in the
sack" said l.
Eyes, but what's the good of that
without light for the lamp?" he re
piled.
'TIl soon have a light" I said, as
jumped from my hammock and went
outside to catch the first FREELY that
passed me. Presently l had one in my
fingers, and soon, with Don Quixote
open, l was lying in the hammock

others.
