 COURTS DESIRE Colonel CIough Makes the Statement EmphaticalIy RUMORS OF DIFFERENCES Believed, However, That Msunder- standing Between Union Pacific
 and HlI-Merger Interests
 Are Not Serious.
RUMoRS OF DIFFERENCES

| New York, March 24-"You may deny most emphatically that a new Northern Securities company Is being planned. We are doing our best to carry out the prin- ciples of the supreme courts desire" said Colonel Clough, vice president and gem eral counsel of the company today
 This statement was made in response to rumors circulated In Wall street that a plan had been formulated by which Nor thern Pacific stock would be held in blank and not distributed. In spite of official denials the attitude of some of the prin- cipals indicate that differences exist be- tween the Union Pacific and the Hll- Morgan interests. It Is not believed, how ever that these differences will prove very serious. It is thought they hinged largely on doubt as to the legality of the Northern Securities dissolution plan. James J. Hill. president of the Great Nor thern, said:
 Everything is peaceful"
 There is said to be some foundation for the report that MT. Hartman although a director of the Northern Securities com pany did not attend the meeting of the directors of that company at which the dissolution plan was recommended. While practically admitting that some differen- ces exist Union Pacific official said:
 There need be no fear of repetition of the contest of May g.

At this point, Mr.. Bloomfield,

to speak. He said in part: eve

This can be done by rescin ding the

r JAPAN is VICTORIOUS.
Her Policy in Respect to her Neigh
bors-No "Yellow Peril" for
Western World.

Even at the outset of the struggle,
writes D. w. Stevens, the counsellor to
the Japanese legation in Washington, in
Leslie's Monthly, the prophecy may be
heard that ii Japan is victorious she will
gain a predominant influence in the af-
fairs of the far east and will use it to the
injury of American and European in
~terests. 1t is argued that race afilia-
lions with China and Korea will be ce-
mented, and that the western world will
have to face the yellow Peril" in an
acute and dangerous form. This belief
betrays ignorance Of Japan's past ana
present policy. as well as of her actual
relations with her neighbors and their
most probable development. Japan's
past policy was shown by the conclusion
of the commercial treaty with China at
the close of the war of 1894, whereby the
field for development of commerce In
that empire was opened to the whole
world. She entered into the present
struggle primarily for self-protection:
after that for the maintenance of the
principle of equal opportunity for all
nations" in China and Korea. No one
pretends in her behalf that she is acting
for Others, but this fact remains that
her success means the triumph of a cause
in which other nations are as vitality
Interested as herself.

Former Resident !
Dies Suddenly

The late John Miller Of Shawnee,
N. Y, was one of the oldest residents
of Niagara county. He was born in
Berwickshire, Scotland, on June 26,
1892, and was 81 years old when he
died July 8ths He came to America
in 1851, and settled near LockpoIt.
Two years later he settled in Shaw
nee, Niagara county, and died in the
house where he had lived more than
fifty one years. Up to the time of
his death a physician had never been
called on his account. He died sud-
denly of heart disease, sitting in his
chair playing checkers. @"' ,~a
Mr.. Miller is survived by three
daughters, Mrs. VIM. Watts of Shaw
nee, N. Y, Mrs. N. F. Barton of
Larimore, N. D., Mrs. Thomas

A Feasible .
Irrigation Scheme.

There is. a possibility that the irri-
cation projects for North Dakota will
inclnde the turning Of the overflow
of the Mouse river into Devils Lake,
through the chain of lakes and coulees
westward from the latter body Of
water. In short time the surface
of the lake would be raised so much
that the lake would find an outlet to
the Sheyenne river, and this surplus
water would again make the Red
river navigable from Fargo. Such
an undertaking would prevent the
disastrous foods in the Mouse river
valley, convert Devils Lake into one
Of the most magnificent bodies of fresh
water in the world, irIigate the vast
tracts of. land through which the
artificial water way would be con-
structed, and make both the Sheyenne
and Red rivers valuable water ways.
