certain carefully worded portions of
the resolution, Mr.. O'Brien pleaded for
delay so that the members of the coun-
Gil would have a chance to fully un-
derstand the exact nature of the COM
promise before they were called upon
TO vote. In Difference TO the wishes of
Mr.. Michael and the street railway
company, no delay was considered by
the assembly and the measure was
passed
Now Mr.. O'Brien believes that quick
action is necessary if the city is to be
rescued from the perpetual clutch of
the street railway company.
Agreement Is Illegal
William C. White, attorney, 513
Globe building, believes that the COM
promise agreement is absolutely illegal
and that the city council should take
Immediate steps to test it's legality be-
fore the street railway company will
have an opportunity to extend its lines
or occupy new streets.
The status of the agreement can
be easily tested" said Mr.. White, "if
the common council will instruct the
corporation attorney to commence pro-
ceedings TO enjoin the company from
operating under it's terms. The mat
ter Will then be held up ui.tA the sner-
its OF the case are determined by the
courts
"An appeal could also be perfected
so that the city could protect it's rights.
The stipulation In the agreement pro-
viding for an extension OF the right of
appeal to three years is an absolute
nullity. 1t is a we'll known rule in the
court of appeals and United States SUI
preme court that even If the street
railway company would not question
the right of the appellate court to
jurisdiction, the court itself would in
quire into the matter and refuse juris-
diction If the statutory time limit for
appeal had been exceeded.
"'You can't do by indrection what
you can't do directly, is a we'll known
principle of law" said Mr. White. The
agreement entered into by the city and
the street railway company. which is
an apparent concurrence in the de-
cision of Judge Lochren, amounts to n
perpetual franchise granted to the
company. BY entering Into a stipula-
ton agreeing not TO appeal from the
decision of the federal court, but to
be bound by Ii, the common council
has indirectly granted privileges to the
company, some of which are contrary
TO the charter, and others which could
he given only by an ordinance. In nv
opinion this is absolutely Illegal, as
the council exceeded its rights.
THE city council is governed by the
charter, the same as congress by the
United States constitution and the
state legislature by the state constitu-

The county court today entered an or

1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, March 9. The
members Of the original Roosevelt Re-
publican club of st. Paul were received
by the president today. Escorted by
the Third regiment band OF Duluth,
they marched 10 the white house in a
pouring rain. After waiting half an
hour they fled into the presidents
office, where each shook hands with
Mr. Roosevelt. They asserted again to
the president that they were the first
Roosevelt club and presented to him
an elaborate souvenir badge OF the or
ganization. The men wore their rough
riders uniform. From the white house
they went over TO the war department
and presented badge TO Secretary
Taft
The band played two or three tunes
in the corridors of the war office and
this was not conducive TO clerical la
bors. The custodian of the building
hurried around and told the leader
with some excitement that "such a
thing was never heard of in the war
department. and the band stopped
playing in the middle of a tune. The
club then marched back 10 its quar-
ters with colors flying and band play
ing, despite the steady downpour Of
rain. The president will receive the
Minneapolis Roosevelt club tomorrow.
1t will be presented by Senator Nelson.

ness In Chadwick Case

CLEVELAND. o.. March 9.-Andrew
Carnegie is now definitely out of the
present trial OF Mrs. Chadwick. II she
should be ACQUITTED this time. Mr.. Car
negie might appear at a subsequent
trial. United States Marshal Chandler
today made out a check for $64 40 to
Mr.. Carnegie's order for his attendance
as a witness.
The defense today made a desperate
effort to have the case taken from the
jury and verdict of acquittal rendered
by the court Judge Taylor overruleCf
the motion The acquittal of the de-
fendant was asked on the ground that
the Indictment charged her with con-
spring TO commit an offense against
the United States. in that she con-
spired with Beckwith and Spear to
certify Illegally checks OF the Oberlin
bank. II Is probable that the case will
be given 10 the jury tomorrow evening.
The only witnesses today were T. c.
Doolittle. bookkeeping expert. who
was examined in the Oberlin bank mat
ter, and A B. Marshall. vice president
OF the First National bank, who was
called TO identify Mrs Chadwick's sig
nature TO notes.

the japanese were pushing their COL

Mukden at noon yesterday was still
occupied by the Russians. Flu pass,
twelve miles to the eastward, and on
the Hun river, vital point for Gen.
Kuropatkin in the retreat of his east

nese for an hour early in the day.

The outcome at this point seems to be
in doubt. A wind storm of hurricane
fury was in progress during the day.
No reports from the commander in
chief later than Wednesday have been
given out at st. Petersburg.
Dispatches from Mukden indicate
that considerable Japanese forces are
well north of the city of Mukden, and

The combat is fast reaching a point
where it is a question, not so much of
strategy as of whose strength, energy
and cartridges will last the longer.
Gray coated Russians clung logged
ly to positions against an enemy whose
attacks go to the very point of in
sanity and desperation. For forty
eight hours the Japanese have not
eaten. They are starving and exhaust

them that the city will fall and the
slaughter stop on Friday, and their
confidence in their leader increased
their strength tenfold. On Wednes-
day, when the Russians took Ushun-

the thick walled temple and refused all
overtures to surrender. Cannon was
brought up and preached the walls,
