DECISION is SOUND LAW.
Is for the Benefit Of All Legitimate
Interests.

Is for the Benefit Of All Legitimate
Interests.
WASHINGTON The attorney gen
eral, being asked concerning the mer-
ger decision. said:
my views Of the decision cannot
be better expressed than in the Ian
guage of one of the best known rail
road presidents in the United States
upon the decision in favor of the
government by the court below. He
said: The decision is sound law,
good and for the benefit of all legiti-
mate interests and for the country's
welfare, and it voices the judgment
of probably nine-tenths OF the most
conservative business men of the
country
"As to the bearing upon other rail
roads, ! have this TO say: The gov
eminent has never claimed that the
law is any broader than It's language
plainly indicates.
During the trial and argument
the government paid no heed to the
defendants contention that the
makeup of substantially all the great
American systems of railroads was on
trial. The governments position was
then, that the question before the
court was as to the validity of the
Northern Securities device"

DEWEY WIRES EXPLANATION.
Why He Failed to Call on President
Morales at San Domingo.

Morales at San Domingo.
Observation-Disclosures Dewey,
who with several members of the
general staff and Assistant Secretary
LOOMS of the State department, are
now at Havana, has photographed the
Navy department the reasons why he
failed to Call on President Morf les
of San Domingo when the party were
in San Domingo waters several days
ago. The failure to visit caused con-
siderable surprise at the time. 1t APP
pears that there was fighting in prog
ress in the vicinity on the dav the
party was there and for that reason
the admiral did not deem it advisable
to make an official visit. During the
forenoon there were several casual
ties in San Domingo city from the
fighting then in progress. This was
caused from shots crossing the river,
through which the boat must pass
and as more fighting was expected
during the afternoon the admiral
gave up the projected visit. The adj
miral, however, sent his respects to
President Morales by United States
Minister Powell.

WORK IN SENATE.
The Fertilization Measure Has
Passed.

Passed.
WASHINGTON-The senate pass
ed the fortihcation appropriation bill
Tuesday after three hours discus
sion of the amendment authorizing
the purchase of an experimental tor
pedo boat and the provision for the
purchase of sites of defense works in
the Hawaiian islands. The torpedo
boat provision was stubbornly fought,
but the amendment suggested by the
committee on appropriations was re-
tined. The Hawaiian provision
which had been eliminated by the
committee, was restored and the sum
increased from $500, 900, as fixed by the
house, to s526,100. Several Other
bills were passed. One of these ap
propriates $1,00O.000 for a public
building at Atlanta, Ga.
In response to request from Mr.
Lodge, Mr.. Perkins explained the rea,
sons which actuated the committee
in striking out the house provision
of the bill, appropriating 100000 for
the purchase of sites for defenses OF
the Hawaiian islands saying that the
committees action had been due to
the fact that the government had nc
option on land for this purpose, which
might have the effect of placing the
government at the mercy of real es.
tate owners. He also said the
amount named was not sufficient
Mr.. Spooner and Mr. Foraker took
the position that on account of the
outlying position of Hawaii, the Uni.
ted States should be prompt in pro.
viding for its protection, and Mr.. Per
ldns said he was willing, If a sum
sufficient to accomplish the purpose
sought could be secured. In accord
ance with Mr.. Perkins suggestion
Mr.. Spooner offered an amendment
appropriating $526,100, instead OF
100000. This amendment was &C
cepted without division.
By common consent the senate re
sumed consideration of the torpedo
amendment, and MI Gallinger offer
ed substitute, providing for compe
tition, insuring vessel of the type
desired. The amendment vs. defeat

MERGER GIVEN DEATH BLOW,
Court Holds the Northern Securities
Company Trust.

SS''tSo'y ''eSS
WASHINGTON. - In the United
States supreme court Monday an
opinion was delivered in the merger
case of the United States against the
Northern Securities company in favor
of the governments contention that
the merger was illegal. The opinion
of the court was handed down by JUS
tice Harlan, and it upheld the decree
of the circuit court for the district of
Minnesota in every particular Four
of the justices dissented from the five
constituting the majority.
The division in the court was due
to a difference of opinion as to the
right of the federal control of the
state corporations. The majority
opinion holds that congress has a
right under the constitution to con-
troll interstate commerce, no matter
by whom conducted, while the minor
ity of the dissenting opinion was based
on the theory that IN the present
case the effort is to regulate the own
ership and is not interstate traffic.
An effort was made by the court
to prevent the knowledge of the fact
that the opinion was to be rendered
Monday from getting TO the public,
but, nevertheless, it was quite gen.
orally understood among attorneys
and others for an hour or so before
the converting of court Monday that
the decision would be announced.
When, therefore, the members of the
court filed into the chamber at noon
they were met by an eXpectant crowd
which filed every seat, both inside
and outside the bar.

Frozen Meat.

LONDON.-The question was raised
in the house of commons today
whether chilled or frozen meat has
any injurious effect on consumers,
and especially whether such meat
contributes to the increasing number

BEFORE JUDGE LINDSAY-WIT-

1t looked for a few minutes today as
if there would be nobody on hand to
prosecute the cases in the police court
and they would all have to be con-
tinued. Deputy High Sheriff Chill
lingworth appeared however. after a
short delay and the court calendar was
proceeded with. There were very few
cases. Nine alleged gamblers failed
to appear for trial so their bail was
declared forfeited. Antoine and Mrs.

Manuel Rosa was the name of the wit

questioned by the High Sheriff had not

WEISBARTH
TO SAIL

Captain Weisbarth will start this
afternoon for French Frigate Shoal
He does not intend however to try
and salve the wrecked bark Connetable
de Richemont but will simply wreck
her for all there is in it. Captain
Weisbarth intends to take a crew of
Z natives with him. He is the head
of the outfit and all details of the ex-
petition will be under his direction
The first thing that Captain Weis
barth intends to get are the anchors
and chain from the French bark. There
are between 200 and 300 fathoms of
chain and, if gotten, these will go a
long way toward repaying Captain
Weisbarth for his time and trouble. He
also proposes tOiget anything else from
the ship, that is worth bringing away.
He takes no diver with him this trip
so no attempt can be made to raise the
vessel from where she is lying on her
beam ends.
Captain Weisbarth declares that the
expedition which is to start for French
Frigate on the schooner Alice Kimball
had better take a blacksmith along for

sentence. Robbery is regarded as

to hard labor for the rest of their lives

twenty-year term might have been inn
posed for robbery in the second degree
The defendants were represented by
j. A. Mathewman and Henry Hogan
and the latter appearing for Lee jim
made a plea for clemency, on the
ground that Lee Jim had not used as
much violence as the other two. The
court however, thought that while he

CAMPBELL R1kES BRYAN.
Declares Campaign Useless zcith
Nebraskdn ia the Saddle.

Frank Campbell. chairman Of the Democratic
State Committee and ex-member OF the national
committee said bitter things last night about
the continued efforts of William j. Bryan TO
dictate the policy of the Democratic party. He
said frankly that the party had no chance to
vim with Bryan. and declared that Bryan should
be thrust aside:
The Democratic party can expect nothing In
this State with Bryan in the saddle" he said
With Bryan candidate. of
Bryans stamp, the party might as well make no
campaign. II the Kansas City platform is
affirmed the Democrats would lose this State
by 100000. Suitable candidates could not be
found for the State ticket. and no campaign
could be made. with any hope of victory.
In case the impression becomes general in the
State that Bryan will control the coming ma
tional convention. we cannot find men Of worth
and merit to go as delegates The Congress dis
tricts will he compelled to send men who will
demand that all expenses of the trip be betrayed
by the party. and they will not be representa-
tive men.
'Bryan's declaration that the Kansas City
platform. with its free silver plank. must be re-
affirmed If he force it. means that the can
didate Of the party must upon a free silver
issue. and that will Kill him at the start. Bryan
has ceased to be reasonable He has been nom
mated for the Presidency twice. and he has
been signaIly honOred. He has not the claim on
the party that he seems to thrk he has. In
the nature of things. political men and issues
must change. old men and old issues must
go. TO be supplanted by new men and
new issues. That Bryan should try 70
dominate the party for third time and define
its policy Is pTeDOSterOuS. He forced men out
Of the party in 1896 and 1900. These men want
to come back now. but he keeps them out.
They wish to see the party succeed. hut they
cannot support BTyans policies. Young men
growing up naturally turn 10 the Republican
party one they can look 10 for somethine-
Bryan does not appeal to them They have no
show the Democratic party.
Personally I favor the nomination Of Judge
Parker. I believe that ne he nominated If
he says he is n candidate The Democrats in
this State are harmonious. There are no fac
tiOGal quarTels The entire feeling IS anti
Bryan"
Mr. Campbell had long talk with Senator P.
H MCCarren. who is in charge of the Parker
boom. hut neither one had anything to say about
the conference.
