Will Attack Paper Trust.

Attorney General Moody has given
out the following statement regarding
the suit instituted at st. Paul Decem-
ber 27th by the federal government
against the paper manufacturing COM
panies:
ION the complaint Of many newspa-
per publishers, last spring. that a COM
bination in the restraint of commerce
existed among manufacturers of paper
to control the distribution and sale of
their products among the states of the
Union, the department of justice be-
gan an investigation of that subject
and to further the department in that
respect the attorney general appointed
F. b. Kellogg of the St. Paul bar and
]. NJ. Beck of the New York bar as
special attorneys to collect the evil
dence and make report thereon.
These gentlemen, after an exhaus-
tive examination of the matter, stimuli
taneously with that conducted by the
department of justice. have reported
to the attorney general that in their
opinion the facts ascertained support
the complaint and justify. in the public
interests, the filing of a petition to en-
Join the operations of the General Pa
per Company, n corporation of Wiscon-
sin, which is the instrumentality
through which the alleged combination
to control the prices and distribution
of those products in the western
states is conducted. In this opinion
the department of justice concurs.
1.-THE attorney general to-day direct
ed that petition be filed against the
General Paper Company and the twen-
ty-four paper manufacturing companies
located in the states of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, which it rep
resents. to have such combination de-
clared to be an unlawful restraint upon
interstate commerce and monopoly
"The petition will De filed in the

Peace Conference.

That the further interchange of
views preparatory to the formulating
of program for another peace confer
ence at The Hague be effected through
the international bureau under the
control of the permanent administers
tive council of The Hague, is the sug-
gestion offered by Secretary Hay in a
second circular note to the powers,
made public at the State Department.
The note was dispatched week ago
but its publication was withheld until
it had reached the various American
embassies and legations abroad. The
secretary summarizes the replies of all
the powers to his note of October 21st
and expresses the qualification of the
President at the cordial reception OF
his invitation.
Having taken this initial step the
secretary says the President feels that
he has gone as far as he appropriately
can, and that with the general accept
ance of his invitation in principle, "the
future conduct of the affair may fifty
follow Its normal channels"
Regarding the conditional accept
ance of Russia. Secretary Hay says
that while the postponement which
this reply necessitates is to be re-
GREETED, this government recognizes
the w2igbt of the motive which in
duced it.

Railroad Cases.

Voluminous records in the case OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Southern Pacific, the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
Santa Fe Pacific and the Southern Cal
ifornia railway were filed in the Su-
preme Court of the United States De-
cember 27th.
The litigation is known as the citrus
fruit case, which was decided ad-
versely to the railroads by Judge Well
born of the Ninth circuit last Septem-
Der. The company then appealed to
the Supreme Court.
Shippers of fruits from southern
California complained to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the rail-
roads insisted they had the right to
route fruit shipments over eastern
roads of their own selection.
The commission decided that the
shippers had the right to select the
routes over which their shipments
would be made. The railroads also
were ordered to display TO the public
their rates for the transportation OF
fruits. The Circuit Court sustained
these orders.

Office of Vice President.

When Senator Fairbanks is sworn
into Office as vice president 1t will
have been more than three years since
the Senate was presided over by vice
president. In the last forty years the
mortality among vice presidents has
been remarkable. For more than six
teen years during that period the pre-
siding officer of the Senate has been a
president pro tempore-a senator
elected for the position from the body
of senators.
Vice President Andrew Johnson be-
came President but little more than a
month after Lincoln's second Inaugural
ton in 1865, and during the interim be-
tween his leaving the Senate chair and
the qualification of Vice President Col
fax in 1869, the presidents pro tempore
of the Senate were Lafayette s. Foster
of Connecticut and Benjamin f. Wade
of Ohio.
Vice President Wilson, who had
been elected with Grant in 1872, died
in office in 1875, and until Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler took up the duties of
presiding officer in 1877 the place was
filed by Thomas w. Ferry. senator
from Michigan.
The vacancy caused by the elevation
of Arthur to the presidency on the
death of Garfield in 1881 was filled by
David Davis of Illinois and George F.
Edmunds OF. Vermont. The latter was
followed by Vice President Hendricks,
who had been elected with Cleveland
in 1884, and was sworn into office In
1855. But he died before the year was
out, and until Vice President Morton
qualified in 1889, the presidents pro
tempore were John Sherman and Sohn
]. ingalls,, the Republicans being in
the majority in the Senate, and there
fore electing senator of that party
as presiding officer.
Vice President Hobart presided over
the Senate until 1899, and upon his
death in that year Senator Frye OF
Maine was elected president pro tenn
pore. He retired in 1901, when Vice
President Roosevelt took up the gavel,
but was reelected when the death OF
President Mckinley transferred Mr..
Roosevelt from the Senate to the
White House.

A remarkably rich discovery is re.
ported in the uranium ore belt on the
west siSs of Grand river, in Utah, just
below Richardson and opposite the
new townsite of Radium. The property
is owned by Lee Hunt and William
Heary, who have been faithfully pros.
pecting the Break by tunnel for over
two years. They recently uncovered a
body of ore that in character and value
very much resembles the rich native
silver and copper ore found in the
Paradox-La Sal mines, and which gave
returns of $4,000 per ton. The ore is a
genuine metallic copper and silver ore,
with copper glance making up the prin-
cipal values of large deposit of min
eral. A carload of the ore is now be-
ing taken out, preparatory for ship
meft.
A Denver Republican Cripple Creek
dispatch says: Fifty men are en-
ployed on the fourteen leases on the
property of the Independence Consol-
idated Gold Mining Company, COM
monty known in mining circles as the
Hull City placer. These are former
sub-lessees under the Carlton lease
who returned to work last week when
the settlement between the company
and the lessee was consummated. All
of them are working on ore. Man
ager w. P. Dunham has taken up his
residence attention to the blocking out
of the ground for leasing purposes.
There are scores of applicants and
within thirty days it is estimated that
the mine will furnish employment to
not less than 200 men.

that the proposed reduction in the tar
if on Philippine sugar and tobacco
should be provided for at this session
of Congress. and he is urging his views
strongly with all members of Congress
to whom he has opportunity to talk.
He hopes to obtain a rate on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines
of twenty-five per cent. of the regular
Dingley rate. He intimated to-day that
negotiations had been initiated looking
to n possible compromise on a Philip
pine tariff rate, but it was too early
to predict what the result of the nego,
tiations might be.
Congress may economiZe on sala-
ries, as the disposition now. seems to
be, but there Is one item in that line
where an increase can not be avoided.
The Senate now has one man doing
two mems work and getting only $4,000
in extra money therefor. Soon here
after there will be two men to do the
same work, and it will cost the govern
ment $4,000 more than at present. AS
will be readily OWNED, the present
saving is in the vice presidents Office.
Senator Frye, the president pro tenn
pore, is the man doing double work.
He receives therefor his salary of $5.-
600 annually as senator and $4,000 ad-
ditional for being president pro tenn
pore But the legislative bill, which
the House is considering, carries an
item of $4,000 for the new vice pres
ident, which will become available
March 4th next So 1t is that Senator
Frye will lose $4,000 annually and the
government will be at an extra annual
expense of $4,000.
