Trenton y. J.. June (SpeciaD.-Edward H. Har-
rlrnan and Winslow S. Pierce compliments in the

assets of the Northern Securities Company, filed
an amended bill in the United States Circuit Court

At that time it was contended by Elihu Root that
Hartman and Pierce. through ]. P Morgan &
Co. had sold their Northern Pacific stock out
right retaining in It no equitable right which
they might base action The contention of
the compliments was that the stock never had
passed legally to that company.
The amended bill says it is well known 20 all
concerned that the Northern Securities Company
was formed solely for the purpose of acquiring
and holding the stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads and operating these roads
Jointly, and that this understanding constituted

GREECE GETTING U. S. GOLD.

Washington June 6.-The money annually spent
in Greece by American travellers together with the
large sums of United States gold sent home from
this country by immigrants from the ancient centre

Department of State. rs assuming proportions that
have attracted the attention of the Greek govern
ment bankers and public. AS this money Is trans
mitted in various ways, there are no statistics
which show the total amount thus received an
nually from the United States: but Greek officials
who have studied the matter estimate that over
81 $50 sol 90 thus reached Greece in the year 1905
Some Greek fnanciers think that this Influx or
gold. together with the cash annually ieIt IN me

estimated that about 400 travellers from the
United States have visited Greece during each or
the last four years, and have annually left about

of about s. $4,000 from the United States each

enough to take the offensive When the
occasion demands. For this reason
the war office is not inclined to credit
the reports that the Japanese have
captured forts No. 3 and No. 4, just
beyond Nagoush hill, five miles north
east of Port Arthur. It is admitted
that the possession of these forts
would render the situation of the be-
siegers desperate. The war Office has
no official information from the fort
ress going beyond Aug. 8, 9 and 10,
which was probably sent through the
captured Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni, although this is
not admitted. This report tells of the
desperate character of the Japanese
attacks, which continued practically
without intermission for forty hours
General Stoessels reports of the as
saults of Aug IA and Is are expected
at any hour.
According to private information
coming from Port Arthur by way of
Chinese junks when the Japanese sent
in the flag of truce Friday they con-
veyed a message to both the general
commanding the fortress and the ad-
miral commanding the squadron.

Madelia, Mimi, Aug. 22.-Captain
William Wallace Murphy, Civil war
veteran and the man who led the seven
men that captured the notorious
Younger brothers in the latters' at
tempt to escape from the Northfield
raid is dead here.
When the Younger brothers were
caught, on Sept. 21, 1876, Captain Muir
ply was the spirit of the posse of
pursuers. Only through his fearless
leadership, it is asserted by persons
who best know, the surrender Of the
bank robbers was accomplished. The
Youngers, too, joined in this eulogy
to the captains bravery. When they
saw him fording and refording the
creek, calling his followers from places
of safety, the Yonngers knew that their
most timely act would be to kill him
in order to defeat inevitable capture.
They fired upon him, one bullet break
ing pipe in his pocket, but they did
not turn him from his purpose. He
advanced upon them, rallying seven
brave men of his party. A hand to
hand fusillade occurred. Pitts was
killed and every member of the gang
of fugitives was wounded. Their sur
render followed
