Company viii Dissolve.
Menasha, Wis, May 12.-George A..
Whiting, first vice president OF the
General Paper company, says the COM
pany will now dissolve. He declared
the dissolution of the company will
not be very good thing for the news
papers, and predicted that they would
regret it. He defended the objects of
the organization. AS to its future he
said:
you will doubtless hear a great
many rumors about what we are likely
to do. ! do not know at this time
whether one company will be formed
or not to combine all the mills under
one management. There have been
many plans suggested"
viii Make Bigger Combination.
Appleton. Wis, May 1.-THE Gen.
eral Paper company will reorganize
on entirely new lines, according to
James A. Kimberly, president of the
company, In an Interview last even
ing. He would not say how the CON-
pany would be formed to avoid violat-
ing the antitrust law, but he felt con-
fident that such a selling agency
could be organized without future
fear of government action. 1t Is gen.
orally believed that steps already have
been taken to form new company TO
dispose Of the print paper manufac-
tured in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan. 1t is said the new COM
any win include all mills which with
drew from the General Paper COM
pany after the government commenced
suit, in addition to those who were
members when the General Paper
company was dissolved by the court.

ouakes and the Panama Canal.

The engineers who recommended a
sea level isthmian canal did not lay
particular stress upon the greater
ability of that type to Withstand an
earthquake shock, but this undeniable
advantage assumes fresh Importance
in the light OF the San Francisco ca
lamity One of the strongest argu-
meDts against the Nicaragua route
was its admitted liability to earth
quakes, and while the Panama route
is less open to this objection 1t can
not be safely predicted that it will not
be visited by shocks severe enough to
damage sea level canal and to wreck
one with locks.-Cleveland Plain

tention of the court certain provisions
of the law which appeared to be in
contravention of the constitution
Then the remainder of the brief Of
the complainant was prepared, some
what hastily. A new point was raised
not contained in Mr.. Bashford's brief,
contending that the classification Of
citizens into the fins" and the "outs"
for the purpose of examination was
improper and unlawful He vigorous
ly attacked the distinction made be-
tween people who are in the state
service and those who are not in. He
declared that the legislature gave six
months for the state officials to re-
move or appoint employees at will,
without respect to determined merit,
and then, when all the Offices have
been filled to the political satisfaction
of the appointing officials, the law
came along and said:
'All those now in the service of the
state shall stay there, so long as
they individually take non-competi-
tive examination; but all those who
are not in the service and who would
like to get in must submit to Compel
tive examination"
Justice Marshall asked the attorney
to point to the constitutional provi-
sion with which this part of the law
is in conflict. Mr.. Bashford said he
referred to no constitutional provision,
but maintained that the law was bad
legislation for the reason that it de-
clares its purpose to be to fill the
state positions on merit, and then
contains provisions subversive of this
purpose.

PAPER TRUST GETS BUMPED BUT WILL
FORM A STILL BIGGER COMBINATION

st. Paul, Mimi, May I2.-The United
States government secured an uncon.
ditional surrender in the United States
circuit court before Judge Sanborn,
in the suit which the attorney general
began December n, 1904, to dissolve
a combination between the General
Paper company and other defend
ants on the ground that the agree
ment had been entered into by the
defendants in restraint of trade.
Attorney Kellogg for the govern.
ment, and Attorney Flanders for the
defendants, appeared before Judge
Sanborn, sitting as circuit court
Judge, and Mr.. Kellogg moved that
the mandate of the United States SUI
preme court affirming the order thai
the witnesses must testify be filed.
Judge Sanborn ordered the mandate
filed.
The witnesses then appeared before
the United States examiner and or
fered to testify. The defendants then
withdrew their answers. Mr.. Kellogg
announced that the government did
not care to examine the witnesses
and moved for a decree in favor OF
the government.
Judge Sanborn ordered that the de
cree be entered for the government
for the relief prayed and that the de-
cree should be settled on June 16.
The proceedings before the court and
the examiner were then adjourned.
The three witnesses who refused TO
testify, namely, c. I. McNair of the
Northwestern Paper company, A. c.

Philosophy From Kansas.

Nobody knows what produces earth
quakes, although it is often claimed
that they do. The earth quakes some
where every day. Nobody knows
when the earth came or when it will
go. where 1t came from, how u came
or how it happened to be here. The
fact is. when you get down to the
truth, nobody knows anything about
anything present or to come
and about the only way to get along
in this know-nothing world is not to
try to know very much.-Edo RADIO Re

st. Petersburg, May 12.-Hope OF
the establishment Of friendly relations
between the emperor and parliament
was strengthened yesterday by the
audience granted by Emperor Mich,
olas at Peterhof to President Muu-
romtseff of the lower house. Mou,
romtseff returned to St Petersburg
from the audience apparently much
impressed by the emperor's earnest
interest in the problems of the country.
Though radical hotheads had been
praying that Mouromtseff would lay
down the law to the emperor and
make a scene, the conversation was
skillfully guided both by the sover-
eign and the parliamentary chief, so
that friction was avoided. To the
constitutional democratic members OF
the house, who awaited his return,
Mouromtseff spoke only briefly, lay
ing especial emphasis on the emper-
or's courtesy and consideration and
his thorough knowledge of the senti-
ment in parliament and society. Mou-
romtseff said that political questions
were not gone into, as he had regard
ed it as not fitting that the president
of the representative chamber should
present at an official audience the
views of any one group or body.
The burning subject of the reply to
the speech from the throne probably
will not be reached at today's session
of the lower house, the time of which
body will be taken up with the cleo
ton of officers, the adoption of neces-
sary rules of procedure and the ap-
pointment of a committee on creden-
tials. A commission to investigate
the agrarian problem perhaps will be
appointed.
Witte Now Member.
Though picturesque as pageant,
the ceremony at the opening of parlia-
ment yesterday was uneventful and
unimportant historically. After Count
Solsky, president OF the upper house,
had declared the session open, the
transaction of business began. IL
consisted of the announcement of the
appointment of officers and the sign
ing of the oath of Office. The only
surprise was the reading of the an
nouncement that Witte was a work
ing member of the council, the omis-
sion of his name from the previous
list having been interpreted as a de-
liberate slight which the emperor evil
IDENTIFY took pains to correct. The
unexpected appearance of the tai
form OF the former permier at the
door was the first intimation of the
emperor's action, and it created a
buzz of excitement. The explanation
of his appearance only came later
when the ukase was read appointing
White and M Manukhin, former min.
lister Of justice, members of the coun-
Gil Of the empire.

cases of a similar nature In the last
40 years, and that there have been
four times as many cases In which
the reviewing authority, always a

New Record on Pension Bills,
Three hundred and twenty pension
bills were passed by the house in one
hour and half This record has
never been equalled in the disposition
OF pension legislation. Mr. Capron of
Rhode Island, in the chair, developed
auctioneer-like qualities of the first
rank. During the consideration of the
bills, Mr.. Williams of Mississippi
raised the point of no quorum and
until the chair could hazard a guess
that quorum was present the wheels
of legislation stood still. After Is
minutes spent in counting, Mr.. Cap
ron found enough members present
and the voice of the reading clerk
and the voice of the acting speaker
once more sounded in unison until all
the bills were passed.
More Money for consuIs.
The house committee on foreign af-
fairs authorized favorable report on
the diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton bills. The measure as amended
carries a total of s2,744,0O0, an in
crease over the current appropriation
of $250,000.
The new provisions of the bill in
clude an appropriation for six student
interpreters in Japan, at salaries of
$1,000 each. The requirement is made
that no minister shall draw two sal
aries. Heretofore there has been ap-
propriated contingent fund of $685.
900, to pay the salaries of clerks and
secretaries in the service. The bill
increases this to $4,000 and restricts
such employment to Americans. The
consular building at Tahiti is to be re-
constructed at cost Of $4,000. The
salaries of the officers OF the service
are provided for in a lump sum aggre-
eating $1,05S,000. For travelling ex-
penses of the five consular inspectors,
$4,000 is provided.
