RESULT NOT ANNOUNCED.
Conferences at Chicago on Alton I'm.
munity Matter.

Chicago, Sept 1Q.-Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte teld a three-hour con-
ference with District Attorney Sims
In which the attitude OF the govern
ment toward the Chicago and Alton
road in the Standard Oil case was
considered. The attorney general
had previously declared that the road
should be granted immunity because
of the promises said to have been
made to it by District Attorney Nor
rison before the commencement of the
trial of the Standard Oil company. At
the conclusion OF the conference
neither the attorney general nor the
district attorney would say whether
the road would be prosecuted or al
lowed to go free. 1t is probable that
no action will be taken until confer
ence is had with jude Landis.
Other matters disc S,sed in the con-
ference were plans for the prosecu-
tion OF the harvester combine, the
coming trial OF John r. Walsh, for
mer president of the Chicago National
bank, and important trust and railway
rebate prosecutions that are to take
place in Chicago this fall and during
the coming winter. At the conclusion
of the conference Attorney General
Bonaparte said:
I'VE discussed the pending investi-
cation by special grand jury OF the
charges against the Chicago and Al
ton railroad, but do not feel at lib
erty to give any information on the
subject prior to such action as will
be taken when the grand jury recon.
venes.''
The attorney general said later that
he desired to deny all rumors Of fric-
tion or discord In connection with the
proposed immunity to the railroad.
There was no foundation whatever he
said for such reports.

SAY IT IS NO MANS LAND
Japs Claim the Right to Occupy Pra-
tas Island.

Victoria, b. c., Sept 19.--According
to advices from Toxic Japan claims
the right to occupy Pratas island,
which was recently taken possession
of on behalf Of Japan, on the ground
that, as 1t lies between the twentieth
and twenty-first parallels. it Is no
mans land. A Japanese paper. just
received. says:
When Japan took possession OF
Formosa she extended her dominion
to the twenty-first parallel OF latitude
and when America took possession of
the Philippines she extended her do
minion to the twentieth parallel, thus
the space between the twentieth and
the twenty-first parallels becomes a
no mans land and the island Of Pra-
tas is in north latitude 2O.45."

nominated In the sO-called Republican caucus.
Regardless Of the action Of the caucus.
in this appeal I intend to support Republican
policies as a duty to my constituents, who

can flor I so stated the fact in every speech

arm. with very high regard. very sincerely
yours. PErER A. PORTER.
In presenting the letter Col. Hepburn
made a statement TO the aucus in which
he said that no hAd examined the of1Cial
ballot at the election at which Mr.. Porter
wal chosen and fOund hat under the Demo-
cratic emblem Porter received p, 900 votes,
under the Independence League emblem
Porter received s81 votes and under the
Independent emblem I ,25s votes. Nowhere,
he said, did Porter's name appear under a
Republican emblem or as a Republican
candidate. He held, therefore, that the
record showed he raj not elected al a
Republican and he had directed that the
clerk should not send Mr.. Porter an in
vitation TO attend the Republican caucus.
The caucus made snort work OF the letter.
Without further discussion a motion was
made and carried to lay the letter on the
table. There were half q dozen cries OF
mo" but they were drowned in the shouts
OF AYE. Aye"
After the caucus there we're several
members discussing the matter who believed
that Mr.. Porter should have been admitted.
They pointed to thefact that four years ago
three independents we're elected from
Pittsbnrg and all were admitted to the
Republican caucus. although they hnd,
with the assistance OF b Democrats,
defeated the regular Republican nominees.
Il was also pointed out that Representative
Sibley. who was elected as a straight out
Democrat. defeating a Republican of long
standing. had been admitted to Republican
aucuses when he @fOpped" to the.R epubli-
can side OF the chamber. However. Mr..
Madsworth's friends we're strong and Mr..
Porter must continue to be a man without
a party and may IL he chooses pose a. a
