APPEAL OF NORTHERN
SECURITIES AWAITED
Government to Oppose Nodi-
fcatiOn OF Injunction.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ACT
Brokers Continue &c Discuss Courts
Decis:on-Efect VIII Be
Far Reaching.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ACT

IN the expectation that the Northern
Securities Company would make an ap-
ptication TO the sixth circuit court for
a suspension of the Injunction restrain
ing the company from continuing its op-
eTations pending the final decision o.
the Governments suit against it by the
Supreme Court. Attorney General Knox,
soon after the judgment was handed
down al St Paul. instructed the United
States district attorney there to oppose
any modification of the decree.
The Depart ment of Justice has not yet
been informed that the securities com
pany has applied 10 the coUrt-for sus-
pension, but the district attorney is pre-
pairing 10 act promptly in opposition
in case the application should be made
Notice has not yet been served on the
Department of Justice. of the reported
intention of the securities company. but
the department presunes that such a
step will be taken. The circuit court
has the power TO grant OF reject an ap-
plication for modification of the decree
against the secufities company. and the
Government. as represented by the De
partment Of Justice, has no jurisdiction
IN the matter.
IN this instance the Government is
simply a party to the cause and as such
has right to oppose a modification OF
the decree in favor of the other party.
This opposition, however. the court may
hold TO be not well founded and may
grant the modification prayed for by the
defendant company.
The provisional instructions which
were sent to the district attorney at ST.
Paul several days ago direct him to op-
pos suspension Of any part of the
ecu. judgment no matter what con-
siderations may be urged By counsel for
the securities company in favor OF the
Modification.
There is sill q good deal of comment
among the T Street brokerage houses
concerning the decision in the Northern
Securities case and its effect on the
stock market. as shown by the tumbIing
Of prices on Monday. It is conceded on
all sides that no matter at what time
such a decision might have come. it
would have Effected the market more or
less severely. but coming al time when
stocks were already much depressed, the
result was a disastrous unsettling of
values

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
GEN. FRANK D. BALDWIN
Alleged to Have Spoken DispargIng-
y of Negro Troops.

Several prominent local colored men
have made verbal protess to the War
Department against the reported inter
view with Gen. Frank D. Baldwin, com
manding the Department of Colorado. in
which he is alleged to have spoken dis
paragingly of negro troops, and said
that he chose to command them in a
battle, as he was not worried about
their safety. because it made no differ
ence whether they were killed OF not.
One colored official at least has been
informed that the department has sent
letter to General Baldwin. asking If
he had been correctly quoted. and in
closing a clipping from . newspaper
containing an excerpt from the alleged
interview.
II General Baldwin did make the state
ment attributed to him. but says that it
was not intended for publication, the
probabilities are that no action will be
taken in the matter. as the department
does not seek to control the private ut
terances of officers or govern their il
diYidual opinions II is believed at the
department that General Baldwin can.
and viii. make satisfactory Explanation.
General Baldwin for & long time COM
manded a colored regiment which dis
tinguished itself in the service. and he
was highly regarded by the men under
him.

Honduras, a president is ineligible TO

The Honduras congress refused to
choose president from among the three
candidates, whereupon BoniIla proclaim

hundred years ago were buried there,
and now their graves could noe be To-
Gated Several years ago a number OF
graves were opened and the remains
reburied in other cemeteries by rela-
tives.

Commissioners 10 allow the people of
Georgetown to have the use OF the West
eru High School grounds. at Thirty
fifth and T Streets northwest. \ reso-
luton was passed to this effect al the
last meeting of the association.
Georgetown has not one public reser-

made to convince the proper authori-
ties that the section west OF Rock Creek
should be provided with one park at
least.
The committee showed the Board

Although he has ordered an investiga

that he does not purpose TO take the
public into his confidence daily. He en-
tered upon the investigation with ap-
parent reluctance, and firmly declines TO
be drawn into specific discussion. A ref

vein. A more definite inquiry results
