HListorY of the Case.

The Northern Securities case is an
extremely interesting one, even to lay
men. Acting under the direction OF
President Roosevelt the attorney gen.
eral instituted proceedings in the Cir
cult court, in which he charged j. Pier
pont Morgan, James j. Hill; and their
associates, owning as they did ma
jcrity of the stock of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads
combined together on Nov. 13. 1901, to
effect a virtual consolidation of the
two companies.
1t was alleged that this scheme in
yolved the practical pooling of the in
terests, OF two railroad companies In
the hands of the Northern Securities
Company, which would receive the div
idends paid upon the stock of the two
corporations, which would control the
selection of officers of both raflroai
companies and which would pursue
such policy as would promote the in
terests OF both companies at the ex
pense OF the public, and in no case the
interests of one at the expense of the
other corporation.
1t was also charged by the govern
ment that the purchase by the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific il
April, 1901, at an expense of over 5000
coo, 900 of practically all the capital
stock of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad was merely q step to-
wards putting all these properties un-
der q common control.
In the circuit court the case was ex
pedited under the new law and the de-
cision was sweeping triumph for the
government. The court held that the
Morgan Hill combination had practical
control of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads, and caused
the formation of Il New Jersey COR
poration to buy all or greater part OF
the stock of those lines. 1t was found
by the circuit court thar the Securities
company was organized on Nov. 13

TRIED TO RESCUE ENEMY.
Admiral Togo Reports Efforts Of Jap
anese to Save Drowning Russians.

Toxic, March IA supplementary
report from Vice Admiral Togo, con-
corning the effort made by the crews
Of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers In action off Port Arthur on the
10th inst to rescue the cnews of the
disabled Russian torpedo boat destroy
ers reached here today. Captain Sho-
jiro Asai, commanding the flotilla of
torpedo boat destroyers, states the Jap
anese would have been able to rescue
many more of the enemy but for the
deadly fire of the shore batteries and
the close approach of the Russian
cruiser Novik. The report explains
that THE four men rescued were not
part of the crew of the Stereguschtchi
as originally reported. When the Jap
anese rescuers reached the Stere-
guschtchi only the dead remained on
board and 1t is believed the living
members of the crew Jumped over
board and perished. The rescued Rus
slams were placed on board the Jap
anese battleship and given food and
medicine.

by wailing children issuing from dirt
