The Portland Horror.

Last Friday afternoon, few minutes
before 3 o'clock, while a crowd of peo-
pie in Portland were watching the
swimming feats OF Clarence Lutz, the
armless wonder, from Morrison street
bridge, a section Of that structure gave
way, throwing $50 people into the
Willamette river and on top OF the
rowingclub sheds. 1t is supposed
that the 20 tons weight of struggling
humanity broke a rotten crossbeam
supporting the sidewalk. The walk
fell to the center forming sort OF
funnel down which the human mass
slid, when the 40-ioot section fell on
top Of the sheds. 1t is probable that
the manner of fall eased the descent
and it is to this circumstance may be
attributed the small fatality of the ac-
cident, two lives being lost; Miss Lottie
Cameron aged 16 and Eddie Shank -,
wcr the only persons killed, although
l25 are reported injured by the fall.
Prompt work of bystanders doubtless
saved many lives, but it may be posi-.
bic that others have persisted, and
some OF the injured may die. The
rowing-club men, with their means at
hand, saved score or more OF persons
from being crushed or drowned.
THE UNIT OF ALL MATTER.-The
study OF radium is revolutionizing the
long accepted theories regarding mat
ter. Scientists in all the large univer.
sites of this country are deeply inter-
ested in cable reports from Berlin, and
later from London, which supplant
the belief that matter is an amalga-
nation of invisible units, which have
been known as atoms. The radium
theory contends that electricity and
matter are the same thing. Units of
matter are divisible, to infinitely tiny
elements called ions. Seven hundred
of them produce oxygen gas, 1920 Of
them form its denser form of ozone,
and 137,70O of these ions produce gold.
The Roentgen ray led to hint of this
possibility, which radium and other
studies has developed under the direc.
ton of the master minds. The sepa-
ration of oxygen and hydrogen from
water has long been known to scien-
tific men, but the knowledge that the
atoms which form them were separ.
able was not held until the ray.wave

THE BLACK MOVES AND WHITE
WINs.-It seems that the great negro
champion, Booker T. Washington, was
lately interrupted by rioters OF his own
race, in the African NJ. Z. Church of
Boston. He had no sooner began his
lecture than he was interrupted by
storm of Kisses. 1t appears that the
opposition arose from some colored
men who favored an educational plan
for emancipating the blacks rather
than the industrial plan, advocated by
Washington. The disturbers hurled
questions at the speaker more, it was
evident, to break up the meeting than
to elicit information. The fighting
soon began in earnest and razors were
drawn. One man, stabbed with a hair.
pin by some black Amazon, was taken
to the hospital. Policemen were pow
erless to quell the riot till an ambu.
lance wagon arrived with a large
squad, which charged upon the mob
and reduced it to subsection.

the case at bar, the decree awards am
injunction, the ordinary supersedeas
stays proceedings, but does not raise
the injunction.
'The main purpose and effect of the
decree are to prevent the Northern
Securities company from controlling
and operating the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads, and to ac-
complish this end it enjoins that COM
pany from exercising any control over
their operation and from acquiring or
voting any of the stock of the railroad
companies, and it also enjoins the rail-
road companies from paying to the
Northern Securities company any divi-
dends on their stock. This is not an
application to suspend this injunction.
The defendants ask only that the part
of the injunction which forbids the
payment of the dividends be suspend
ed during the tendency of the appeal.
The Dividends.
''These dividends do not belong and
cannot in any event be paid to the
United States. It does not claim to
have and it has not any pecmiary in
terest in them. Its purpose in prose-
cutting this suit and it's interest in this
injunction are only thereby to enforce
the law against illegal combinations
in restraint of trade and toprevent the
Northern Securities company from
controlling, directing, owning, operat-
ing or interfering with the c. competing
railroads. This interest, i will be
noticed, is protected by that portion
of the Injunction which forbids the
management or control of these rail-
roads by the Northern Securities COM
pany and forbids it from voting or ac-
quiring any stock of these railroad
companies. This portion Of the in
junction, indeed every part Of the de-
cree and this injunction, is in force
and will continue in force during the
tendency of this appeal in any event.
"The appeal in this case will prob
ably be determined by the supreme
court about November, 1903! It is not
perceived how the payment or the re-
tention of these dividends during the
tendency of this appeal can iljuriously
affect any right of The United States
in this litigation, and the onlE question
here is whether these dividends shall
be piled up the treasures Of the rail-

ALEXANDER RAMSEY DEAD.

His death, while not wholly unfor-

his illness since February last, was un-
expected, and will come as shock to
the large number of friends whom he
had gathered about him in this city, as
we'll as to the people of Minnesota, to
WHOM he was known during long
and honorable public career.
Alexander Ramsey was born in Har.
risburg, Pa, Sept. 8. 1915.
His father was of Scotch descent. his
mother came from German family
who settled in Pennsylvania early in
the Eighteenth century, From his
parents he inherited strong constitu-
ton and also taste for study.
He was appointed territorial govern
or of Minnesota by President Taylor.
This was in 1s49.' Mr.. Ramsey left at
once for St. Paul arriving there May
II, 1S49, and four days later after the
arrival of the other territorial officers
he issued a proclamation declaring the
territory duly organized.
In the dining room of small hotel
on the banks of the Mississippi river
the new governor read his first mes
sage to a joint meeting of the mem.
beers of boob houses, twenty-seven in
all.
In 1853 his term of Office ended and
IN 1855 was elected mayor of st. Paul.
In 1858, when Minnesota was admitted
to the union, Mr.. ramsey was nomi.
mated for governor by the republican
party, but was not elected. Two year.
later he was again nominated and thi.
time elected. -
