difficulties has been to secure active

all and we would like for each member of
tho association to take an active part
in 1t. Our platform--the advancement Of
education in our city and State-is broad

Canadians Believe Hill May Make
Headquarters in Winnipeg.
Special to The journal.
Winnipeg, Man., March 16.-Great
interest Is taken here in the result
of the decision of the United States
supreme court regarding the merger
of the Northern Securities company.
and the suggestion that James J. Hill
intends to remove from the United
States and establish his headquarters
IN Canada, thereby avoiding the op-
Grafton of the antitrust laws of that
country. .......-...
Regarding the suggestion that Mr..
Hill would establish himself In Cam
ada, a well-knoWn railroad lawyer.
when questioned, said he could not
see what benefit could accrue from 1t.
The fact Of the headquarters of a
railway system being In Canada would
not remove it's amenability to the laws
Of any other country in which it might
operate.
Should Mr.. Hill, however, decide
that the merger decision is injuring
his business interests, the railroad
man had no doubt that Hill would find
a wav to evade the decision and that
removal to Canada might be one of
It is firmly believed here that If
any move in that direction Is made,
the headquarters of the system will
be located In Winnipeg. 1t is stated
In q dispatch from Ottawa that the
Northern Securities company applied
to the Canadian parliament for a
charter two years ago, and that 1t
was refused. At the session Of the
Manitoba provincial house. however,
last year, a blanket charter for the
re-entry of the Northern Pacific rail-
way into the province was secured.

Port Arthur and Vladivostok SQUAD
rons Join and Menace Japs.
New York Sun Special Service.
London. March 16.-The Tele-
graphs correspondent at Toxic,
cabling Tuesday, says:
Rumor has been current to-day to
the effect that the Russian fleet es-
capped from Port Arthur on the night
of March II, that the four cruisers at
V1adtvostok also got out and that the
whole Russian fleet is now at sea.
News OF great naval battle is hourly
expected.
A serious situation would be created
If the Russians should succeed in
evading the Japanese fleet The
probability, however, is that the Jap
anese are in touch with the Russians
sufficiently to bring about an action
which would be decisive.
The Telegraph correspondent at
Yin-kow cables Tuesday that most
of the shells fred into Port Arthur
during the bombardment March IL
were part Of the ammunition found on
board the captured east Asiatic steam
er Manchuria, which was bound for
Port Arthur with 1000 tons Of war
material.
The Russians were greatly surprised
at seeing their own shells bursting
upon them. Thirty casualties oc-
Cured in one large fort. The total
Russian casualties were over 500
killed and wounded. This is au-
thentic. Evidently not much damage
was done to the Japanese ships, for
| the forts made. but feeble reply.
