New York Sun Special Service.
Toxic, March 7.-Official reports Of
the. BON bardment of Vladivostok say
that the Japanese warships wrought
considerable havoc by their shells and
that the Russian forts, which at first
brought their big guns into range to
return the fire, were actually silenced
by the accurate gunnery from the
cruisers.
Affairs have been very quiet here
after the excitement following first
victories. People are going about their
business as if nothing in particular
was afoot. The present situation,
however, is only a lull before the
storm.
Preparations are going rapidly for
ward for the commencement of land
operations. 1t is expected that impor-
tant events will be heard OF. IN the
course of few days.
!: The opening of hostilities ashore ts
likely to furnish Russia with as great
a surprise as did the naval actions. It
is impossible, of course, to give details,
but events will soon show the capacity
of the men who are directing the
Japanese affairs and the. quality OF
the troops at their disposal.
& According to reports received here,
the Russians are moving large bodies
of troops toward the Chinese from
tier.
A live eagle, captured by one Of
the torpedo boats blockading Port
Arthur, was presented to the mikado
to- day. 1t is regarded as an omen
Of victory.
It is believed that the Russian
vladivostok squadron Is now in the
vicinity of the mouth of the Tumen
river, engaged in covering the move
ment Of troops from Possiet bay to
the valley of Tuman.

JUDGES AGREE ON
MERGER DECISION.
Supreme Court Decides on Cen

Opinion.
Award Expected to Be Handed

After.
Case Expected to End in Favor
Of the Govern
ment.

Special to Tho Journal.
Washington, March 1.-THE SUI
preme court, in the Northern Secur-
tiles case, is said to have agreed upon
the general outline of its opinion, and
a decision is expected tomorrow or
soon afterward. The opinion the court
has agreed upon is said to be favor
able to the government.
In the circuit court, the case was
expedited under the new law, and the
decision was a sweeping triumph for
the government. The court held that
the Morgan-Hill combination had
practical control of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads,
and caused the formation Of a New
Jersey corporation to buy all or a
greater part Of the stock of those
lines.
1t was found by the circuit court
that the Securities company was or
gained Nov. 10, 1901, with capital
stock of s400,000,000, which was the
exact amount required to purchase
the total stock of the two railroads at
the price agreed upon.
At the date of the decision, it was
found that the Securities company
was owner of about SO per cent OF
Northern Pacific stock and about rs
per cent of Great Northern.
The circuit judges held that altho
each railroad company had It's own
board of directors, they were con-
trolled by those who owned the stock
and competition would not be more
effectual if the two railroads were
consolidated under single charter.
In Its decree, the lower court adj
Judged that the stock of the railroad
companies owned by the Securities
company was acquired and was then
held by virtue of a conspiracy entered
into by the defendants in restraint of
trade, such as the Sherman antitrust
act denounces as illegal
The court therefore entered an or
dere for combination injunction,
which prohibited the Securities COM
pany and its officers from interfering,
or attempting to acquire, any more
such stock, from voting any such stock
at: the stockholders meeting of either
railroad company or from exercising
any control over. the acts of either rail
road company by virtue of the owner
ship Of such stock.

pose to restrict Russia's military
forces for the present to five divi-
sions-three from Siberia and two
from western Russia-each division
to number between $4,000 and 10000
men.
Concerning the effect of the war,
the railroad representatives ane
strongly inclined to the belief that
American interests will best be served
by Russian success.
They point out that Russia, gave a
single order for SIS 100000 of Amer-
lean railroad supplies, and assert that
Russian success promises a continu-
ance and an extension of the demand
for American supplies, whereas Japan
has not drawn largely on American
railroad equipment.
The head of one Of the largest rail.
road concerns in America, now here,
says he believes that the success Of
the Japanese would prove a serious
detriment to American trade, parties
ularly the railroad industry, which
thus far has taken an important part
in the development of the far east.
