 Harriman Not Talking.
 Washington, March 14.-The attorney general being asked this evening con- cerning the merger decision said: My views of the decision cannot be better expressed than in the language of one of the best-known railroad presidents in the United States upon the occasion of the decision in favor of the govern ment in the court below.
 He said: The decision is sound law and good sense, and for the advantage of all legitimate interests, and for the country's welfare; and it voices the Judgment of nine-tenths of the most conservative business men of the coun- try.
 'The country is to be congratulated that the governments protest against the first appearance of the holding company as device to control com peting interstate railroads has not been in vain.
 "One of the results of the govern ment's action has been to accelerate the return to more sober methods in

 Salt Lake City. March 14-Non- Nor mons. who are indignant at the testi- mony of President Joseph F. Smith be- fore the srnoot, investigating committee lat Washington. met tonight with the avowed purpose. of forming party, op- posed to Mormons. A committee of twenty-five was appointed to frame plan of political action, and q mass meeting will be held next week to rati- fly the action and to perfect the organ ization. A protest against the state- ments of President Smith was unani- mously adopted. The protest, as sign- ed by 200 persons, will be forwarded to Senator Burrows, chairman of the senatorial, Investigating committee, and copies will be circulated for further signature in Utah and adjoining states. Resolutions adopted declare that law-abiding citizens repudiate the statement of President Smith that his offense in living in polygamous rela- .tions is condoned; that on the contrary, the disclosures made by him at Wash ington were nowhere received with greater amazement, indignation and disgust than in Utah; that it has been
 heretofore impossible to get at the real facts of the situation, owing to the wall of secrecy with which polygamists have surrounded themselves and their constant practice of failing to comply with the law in reporting births.

BRITISH POLITICS.

 Lend s0pposit,on.'

Lend sOpposition.n
 London, March 14-In the lobby of the House of Commons tonight there was much comment upon the unexpect-i edly early departure from Egypt, on his return to London, of Joseph Cham- berlain. Many members of the house supposed he was hurrying home in am ticipation of an early dissolution of par liament, but, on the other hand, Right Hon. Jesse Ceilings and ether of MT. Chamberlain's intimates maintained that he would spend two or three weeks in Italy and thus extend his holiday, as it was originally contemplated to two months. This view was advanced with an air of great authority in unionist circles, but the Chamberlain section of parliament, glorying in their triumph on March g, already predict that if the unionists are defeated in the general election MT. Chamberlain, and not MT. Balfour, will be the leader of the op- position in the next parliament. They also talk of forcing the government in the coming budget to reimpose the shil- ling duty on grain.
 MT. Balfour has for several days been suffering from a severe attack of neu- ralgia.
 The triumph of March 9 refers to the outcome of motion by Duncan ". Pirie Qibera), who, after calling atten-l ton to the public utterances of Chan cellor of the Exchequer Austen Cham berlain and other members of the gov ernment on the fiscal question, moved that this house, noting the continued agitation in favor of protective or pref erential tariffs, which is encouraged by the language used by certain of his majestys ministers, deems 1t necessary to express it's condemnation of any such policy"
 As an offset to this motion Premier Balfour put up a, conservative member, John Lloyd Wharton, to move an amendment approving the ministerial declarations of the fiscal policy as in cluding neither a general system of protection nor preferences. based on the taxation of food"
 A hurried consultation of hundred Chamberlainites followed this, and as la result they intimated to the govern ment that unless the Wharton amend ment was withdrawn they would ab- stain from voting on the Pirie motion. As this almost certainly would have led to a defeat of the government the amendment was withdrawn.
