AGAINST SECURITIES COMPANY,
decision Of United States Circuit
Court,

The position of the United Statas
government In the suit brought against
the Northern Securities company. the
northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways and individual officers and al.
rectors of these companies was sus-
famed In the decision handed down IN
the United States circuit court of an.
peals in st. Paul, Mimi.
Inc case was originally brought in
the united States district court here
put under a special act of congress
was taken at once to the court of an
peais' which court was to expedite the
nearing and decision of the case N
every manner possible. The taking of
testimony in this city and in New York
lasted for several weeks, and the argu-
ments in st. Louis before Circuit Court
Judges Caldwell, Sanborn, Thayer and
Vandeventer took several DAYS. The
ueclslon OF the court was written by
Judge Thayer and was filed in this
city, where the original action was in.
stleuteo. An appeal to the United
states supreme court will be taken i'm.
mediately.
AL four judges concurred in the con.
cluslOns OF the court, which were stat.
ed by Circuit Court Judge Thayer as
follows:
| u his is a bill, exhibited by the
United States, to restrain the violation
OF an act of congress, approved July 2.
1890, entitled, An act to protect trade
and commerce against unlawful re-
straints and monopolies,' which is com
monty termed the sherman antitrust
act"
Daniel S. Lamont, who is one of the
directors of the Northern Securities
company and vice president of the
Northern Pacific, says as long as the
railroads affected by the United State.
circui. court decision in the Northern
Securities case had never lost their
identity, even if the decision were
made final by the higher court, little
difference would result.
These men who own and control
Northern Securities own and control
the Northern Pacific, Burlington &
Quincy and Great Northern. What's
the difference? The Northern Securi
ties company simply made it easier for
these men to run the roads.'
Those close to Morgan admit the
probability that the railway merger
will be knocked out by the supreme
court.

MONTANA MINES,

The mining industry of Montana is
destined to prosper this year.
High grade copper-gold ore has been
discovered in Madison county.
The oil boom on the coded strip OF
the Blackfoot reservation is still on.
A. G. Staten has discovered an.
thracite coal within 10 miles of Havre.
H. l.. Frank has left for Paris,
where he expects to dispose of his coal
properties near Frank, just across the
international boundary.
The Eglanol Placer Mining com.
pany, which owns extensive placer
ground in the Lincoln gulch, near Ell.
liston, Mont, has completed a bed
rock drain 2200 feet in length.
! The Tombstone Mining company,
whose property is located in the vi
pond district, has begun the dropping
| of stamps, the first shipment having
been made this week The conoen-
trates run from $50 to 500 ton in
gold. The company spent $4,000 in
installing the plant.
The Butte & st. Paul Mining com
pany, which ownes the Sunday mine,
in Granite county, has taken over the
Wisconsin property in Madison county.
The consideration is not known.
The Butte Mining Il Developing com
pany is actively developing the EN-.
ma mine with view of tapping a
strong copper lead at 1900 feet. At
500 feet the lead shows but 2 per cent
copper, but carries over 20 per cent
lead, 20 ounces in silver and from
2 to ounces in gold. The general
history of the exploitation of Butte's
big mines has shown that in the up.
per regions of the mineral zones lead.
silver and gold values were to be
found in more or less quantity: but
with depth copper zone was encoun-
tered In the celebrated Anaconda
copper mine the red metal values were
not reached until depth of 1000
feet had been attained. In the upper
portions of the Anaconda vein. native
silver was found so pure as to be
cut with a knife. The ore now is a
mixed copper sulphide and galena
ranging from to so per cent, with
varying amounts of silver.
The only trouble experienced by
the Emma people at the present time
is that no smelter exists in Butte
which can handle the ores of the prop.
erty, because of the abundance OF
lead to be found in the Emma rock.
In the history OF Butte, no mine has
been developed which carried similar
lead values.

A PLOT IN China EXPOSED
AN AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICER
SAVED FOREIGN RESIDENTS.
A Plot Formed Directed Against the
Manchurian Dynasty-EnelIsh Gum
boats Assisted--French and Ger
mans Are Known to Have Foment-
ed the Trouble.

Washington. April 15-Quick action
and common sense treatment of a
critical situation by an American naval
officer in China recently saved the
foreign residents in the province of
Quong Tung, on the east bank of the
Canton river, from failing victims to
plot, which, while directed primarily
against the Manchurian dynasty, inc
vitality would have eliminated in an
attack on the foreign population. While
this attack was averted by the pre-.
cautionary measures taken by Com
mander +. j. Drake, commanding the
U. 5. S. Monterey, with the assistance
of the English gunboats Sandpper
and Brltonmart, the French gunboat
Avalanche and the German tug Sha-
meen, the coalition known to have TO-
mented the trouble extends to several
provinces, and official advices received
at both the state and navy depart
ments show that reacUIonary measures
on scale far larger than is admitted,
either by foreign representatives or
the Chinese government, has been
planned by the rebels.
Hearing that a force of rebels, lcd
by Hung Chun Fuk, native of Wa
CHOW, had planned an attack on the
viceroy and other Chinese officials of
| Canton during the celebration Of the
| Chinese new year on the nights Of
January % and 80, Commander Drake
prepared to defend the foreign resi-
dents. An armed force of 5000 men
had entered Canton surreptitiously
several days before the news and were
hiding with sympathizers. AS most
of the foreigners and official represen-
tatives of the nations reside in Sha-
meen, Commander Drake first COM
pleted his plan of defense, and then.
TO allay the excitement which prevail
ed, he officially informed the consul
ates and Chinese officials of his prepa-
rations and advised the commanders
OF the English, German and French
gunboats of the line of action to be
pursued in case Shameen island was
attacked. The foreign commanders Of
fered their cooperation and plans were
perfected to meet any trouble that de-
veloped, whether on the island or On
the water
Instead of visiting the holy temple,
in the inner city, at midnight, to offer
incense the viceroy and officials, con-
trary to long custom, remained in their
yamens securely guarded.
Around the viceroys yamen alone
assembled 400 armed troops. BY 2
O'Clock the gates to the city were
closed and the streets stripped for ac-
ton. Many arrests were made that
night, and large amounts of stores
were seized in houses and shops in
Fong Chung and Fates, opposite Sha-
meen. Many other indications of in
tended attack were found, and the Of
ficials agreed that the rebels aban-
doned their plot only because of Com
mander brakes discovery and his
prompt action and that of the foreign
commanders in taking ample precau-
tionary measures. The landing of ia
armed force from each of the foreign
warships had been agreed on by the
American, English, German and
French commanders at the first evil
dence of attack.
