MERGER CASE UP AGAIN.
Supreme Court Has Granted
Petition for Writ l0f
CertiOrdri.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The supreme
court of the United States has granted
the petition for writ of certiorari in
the case of E. II. Hartman and others
versus the Northern Securities compa.
ny, growing out of the former decision
OF the court relative to the distri bution
of te stock of the securities company.
The effect of granting the writ is to
bring the case before the supreme court
for review. Argument is set for Feb.
ruary 20, after other cases on the cal
endar for that day.
The suit was brought to determine
the right of possession Of certain shares
of the capital stock of the securities
company delivered to that company by
Hartman and others in 1901, when
the merger of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads was consum.
mated.
After the government suit was de-
cided Against the megrer, the securi-
ties company decided to distribute the
stock Of each of the two railroad COM
panies amongst the stock holders pro-
portionately, instead of giving to each
one the stock originally deposited by
him, as Hartman claims should have
been done.
The present case was brought in the
circuit court of the district of New
Jersey, which granted an Injunction
against the securities company. pro-
hibiting the disposal of the Nortern
Pacific railway stock. The circuit
court OF appeals reversed that deci-
sion, and its decision would have been
final but for the decision of the SUI
preme court to review the case.

WORKMEN See CAR
EMPEROR NICHOLAS SUMMONS A
DELEGATION.
Assured Them Causes for Griev-
anCes Would Be Removed So
Far as They Were Economic.
Strike novement In Other por-
lions Spreading.

81. petersburg, Feb. 2.-Personal as
surance of his intention to ameliorate
the conditions and remove the causes,
insofar as they are economic, whicn
led to the recent strike, were delivered
by Emperor Nicholas yesterday to
workingmen representing all the lead
ing factories of st. Petersburg, who,
at his invitation, journeyed to Tsarkoe
Selo and were received IN audience in
the hall of Alexander palace, in which
he has his winter residence.
This interview face TO face with
their "little father" in whom their
faith has not been shaken by the events
of the bloody Sunday Of Jan. %, has
had far greater and more reassuring
effect than any number of proclama-
tions by ministers and governors gen.
eral, and the workmen of It. Peters
burg are now generally inclined to ac-
cept the promises of Governor General
.Trepof and Finance Minister Kovosof
at their face value.
The gift by the imperial family Of
$25 900 20 aid the families of the vic.
Tins Of the conflict on January % also
has bad an excelletn effect, and as the
news slowly permeates the laboring
classes OF Russia it is expected that it
will make them content to wait for the
promised reforms.
Strike Movement Spreads.
Like wave caused by the falling
of stone, the strike movement, how
ever, is spreading over the great sea of
Russian industrial life; and while St.
Petersburg and Moscow, where the
troubles began, are now placid, the
workmen Of Poland and other prov
incesare not yet calm, and the ripple
has reached far-off Irkutsk and other
Siberian towns.
Emperor Nicholas adopted the tradi-
tional fatherly tone in his talk with
the workmen yesterday. He chided
them for allowing themselves to be
misled into engaging in a movement
imperiling the internal order of Russia
and aiding the foreign fee and for at
tempting to demand by force what he
otherwise would be willing to do vol
unfairly.
The workmen received the royal as.
surance of reform with cheers, and
after luncheon at the imperial table,
returned to St. Petersburg in the best
of humor to report to their fellows, as
enjoined, the words Of his majesty.
No attempt was made by them to
present their desires, which already
are significantly evident. The action Of
the St. Petersburg manufacturers in
placing themelves in the hands of the
government int he matter of the ad-
justment of the main points of dispute
and promising to grant the men pay
for the time they have been on strike,
not as a matter of right, but as a
favor, has also made good impress
sion.
The deputation to Tsarkoe Selo was
accompanied by Minister Of Finance
Kohovsoff and Governor General Ire
pof and proceeded by the imperial
railroad to Tsarkoe Selo, where car
riages were waiting them near the i'm
nerial naviliOn

Only three grains of corn;

Till the coming of the morn.

Dying Of hunger and cold;
And half the agony Of such death
My lips have never told.
1t has gnawed like a wolf at my heart,
mother
A wolf that is fierce for blood;
All the Evelong day, and the night be-

Gnawing for lack of food.
l dreamed Of bread in my sleep. mother,
And the sight was heaven to see:
l awoke with an eager, furnishing lip,
But you had no bread for me.
How could l look to you, mother
How could l look to you
For bread to give your starving boy,
When you were starving, too?
For 1 read the famine in your cheek,
And in your eyes so wild,
And l felt it in your bony hand,
AS you laid it on your child.
The Queen has lands and gold, mother
The Queen has lands and gold,
While you are forced to your empty

A skeleton babe to hold
A babe that is dying of want, mother
As l am dying now.

What has poor Ireland done,
That the world looks on, and sees Us

Perishing one by one!
Do the men of England care not, moth
The great men and the high
For the suffering sons of Erin's isle,
Whether they live or die?
There is many a brave heart here, moth
er,
Dying of want and cold.
While only across the Channel, mother,
Are many that roll in gold;
There are rich and proud men there,
mother,
With wondrous wealth to view,
And the bread that they fling to their
dogs tonight
Would give life to me and you.
Come nearer to my side, mother
Come nearer to my side,
And hold me fondly, as you held
My father when he died;
Quick, for cannot see you, mother,
My breath is almost gone;
Mother! dear mother! ere l die,
Give me three grains of corn.

Putting Him to the Test.

A stockbAoker was telling the othe,
day how girl, recently married to a
colleague of his On the Stock Exchange
suspected that her husband had been
INDUCING little too freely in the cup
that cheers. She determined to find
out beyond doubt whether her suspi.
cions were we'll founded.
To friend she confided the source
Of her trouble, and from this friend
she learned that it had always been
said that man even slightly intoxt
Gated cannot pronounce words Of any
length, whereupon the young wife de-
cided that that would be a good plan
10 try.
When next the friend met the young
wife she was in state Of great agi
tation. Asked If the suspicious had
been verified, the girl burst into tears
and said that they had.
Il handed him this list" she said
between sobs, fishing from her pocket
a paper which she gave to her friend
and which contained the following
words:
"Phthisis, photochromy, gnomiomet
r1cal, hypochondr1asis, parachronism
phlegmasia dolens. syncategorematic
antinomianism, pseudaesthesia."
And" she continued, while hel
friend read the list, "he missed nearly
half Of them"-London Tit-Bits.

Why Snow Falls In Flakes,

Snow falls to the earth In fakes be.
cause 1t Is water solidified In starlike
crystals, each snowflake being usually
made up Of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account Of the
large quantity Of air among the frozen
particles. The snow crystals arise from
the slow passage Of the water vapor
of clouds, when the temperature falls
below freezing point, into the solid con.
dition. the fairylike transformation
taking place by the tiny independent
particles Of water grouping themselves
with the utmost mathematical regular.
ity around different centers.
Each crystal Of snow, as Of anythins
else, Is therefore q more or less per.
feet geometrical solid. The most com.
plete snow crystals are formed in q
clear atmosphere. where there is moth.
ing to retard the gradual process Of
specialization or molecule construction
Rain, on the other hand, being liquid,
falls in drops.

This morning the o. r. & N. sur
veying party. under Engineer Kippel,
will leave for the Clearwater coun-
try. The Tribune on Saturday
morning announced the arrival of the
party here from Portland, and stated
that the best information was that
the surveyors would take up their
work on the o. r. & N. survey to
Grangeville at a point near Mohler.
Subsequent information confirms this
view, and last night 1t was learned
that the party would go direct to
Mohler. ~
Last night the steamer Spokane
brought up additional equipment for
the party and Immediately upon the
arrival of the boat the equipment
was transferred to wagons which
were waiting at the dock. The pack
train which preceded the party here
will, 1t is understood, be used in the
field work as soon as the camp is es-
tablished near Mohler. 1t is the
merest speculation as to the exact
work the party will take up at the
start, but It is understood that the en-
tire line will be cross-sectloned as
soon as possible.
1t is positively known that the
party are o. r. & N. men. and that
they have been sent direct from the
company's headquarters at Portland.

Willis Fisk. of Baker City, has
been visiting in town this week. He
states he has been over into Crook
county buying horses, and his trip
resulted in the purchase of two car
lots of horses. II is his opinion that
the horse market will be in first-class
shape this coming season.
At present there are quite a num-
Der of horse buyers at Baker City and
the trouble with them is to find
horses sufficient to fill their orders.
+ The japanese government has placed
orders for 100, 900 head and this gov
ernment is also after several thous-
and head.
There are now demands for horses
which, II filled, would clean the
+ Eastern oregon range, and this would
prove a great benefit to the cattle in
terests as the ranges are greatly
overcrowded and the removal of the
horses would greatly benefit the cat
tlemen.-Prairie City Miner.
