MORALES MAKES PROTEST.
Wants Railroad Direct from Cananea
 and Offers $lOO,OOO for it.

The citizens of Nogales, Sonora and Arizona, are much disturbed over the prospect of railroad connections being made between Cananea and Imuris direct. As a result the busi- ness men of the towns have proffered to the railroad cash and ground amounting in value to a bonus of $lO0,0OO if they will build the new line from Cananea to NOgales, So- nora, direct, instead of to Imuris.
 What the outcome will be is yet impossible to say. The Nogales peo- pie base their activity on the ground that line from Cananea to Imuris would take a large amount of busi- ness from Nogales that now goes to that point, turning it over to Mazda lena and other points. Cananea would of course benefit more from the line direct to Imuris than from a line to Nogales and the local feeling is consequently highly favorable to the construction of the extension by way ot Cocospera to Imuris along the line ot the survey as now being made. -Cananea Herald.

The attorney-general reported that the merger was clear violation of na- tional law. He was ordered to bring suit at once.

 Down went J. Pie 'pont Morgan to the White House, wrdthful, but wary of the Presidents temper.
 ''It's all mistake, MT. President" he said with wave of his hand. "The whole thing is simply mis- understanding. We can easily con- promise the matter. Let us get to- gether and there will be no difficulty about a satisfactory compromise"

PHILADELPHIA. July 22.-The American
Union Coal Company. with mines in Bed
ford and Clarified counties. Pa. instituted
proceedings against the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company in the United States Circuit
Court to-day to recover 100000 damages
for alleged discrimination and overcharR-
ing In freight rates in restraint Of the
plaintiffs trade.
In the statement OF claims filed by James
NJ. Newlin. the company's counsel. it is
charged that the railroad company dis
eliminated by allowing favored shippers
10 make long contracts for coal delivery
without risk OF increase in freight rates
n denying like privileges TO the plaintiff.
IL is asserted tina the Berwind White
Coal Mining Company was given the eX-
elusive right Of the Harsimius pier. a part
Of the railroad company's terminal AT
Jersey City. for shipping and storing it's
coal, while the plaintiffs shipments TO New
York harbor would be transported by the
railroad no further than South Amboy,
twelve miles distant from New York harbor,
thus giving the Berwind White company
an absolute monopoly for steamship coal
in New York harbor.
The action il under the Sherman act
and threefold da ges are claimed az
provided by the statute, thus making the
total claim $500, 600.
