Antl-Merger Suit.

Boston, Oct. "a AN apparently I'M
important motion made by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road yesterday In the government anti
merger suit turns out to be one OF ex-
IRENE moment, since it questions the
constitutionslity of the Sherman anti
trust law. This Is the first time the con-
stitutionslity Of the lsw has been doubt
ed 10 open court, aud II the u. ). Cir
cult Court goes into this matter in pass
ing on the motion its decision will be
one of the most important In the annals
of Law. The railroads motion merely
objects to the request OF Attorney Gen.
erRl Bonsparte that the merger cases be
argued before three circuit judges. The
argument set up by the defence is that
Congress without constitutional rights
attempts to set up special tribunal not
properly established or ordained by the
constitution az a court of the land to try
suit properly brought and pending
within the Jurisdiction Of United States
court. The objectious are upon the
ground that such three judges, establish
ed for hearing OF this case, will not be
an inferior court ordained aud establish
ed by Congress Of the Uniled States
within the meaning the constitution and
especially within the meaning Of section
/, article three.

The United States and japan,

Toxic, Oct. 24.-The idea of formal
trssty between America and Japan is
sweeping all before it 10 japan today.
The support of Premier Kstsurs is ev-
ideBced by an expression in the Koku-
min Shimbun, the official organ of the
premier. 1t says that while an unwr't!en
alliance already exists between the two
countries and there is no probability of a
break 10 the friendliness of relations,
there is no objection to the understand
ing. The paper points out that the time
for such an agreement is oPPortnne, re-
calling that the Russian-F reOch alliance
came as the result Of tho visit of the
Russian Aeet to TUulou.
Il could not be learned today whether
sDy actual initiative has yet taken plac +,
but it is conceded that the temper Of the
japanese people will force the cabinet to
"feel OUT the American government
with respect to such proposal.
The Japanese press today prints mes
seges from America showing how the
proposal for Japanese-American sill
auce is being received in that country.
The messages are all favorable and their
publication has awakened a tremendous
enthusiasm for the idea. In anticips-
ton of closer relations with the United
States, the Toxic City Council tonight
appropriated money for the establish
ment Of night schools 10 which to teach
the EngliPh language.

Washington, Oct. "a.


Washington, Oct. "a.
Smilingly side stepping the query as
to whether the speakers bureau of the
republican nstional committee had Teen
temporarily transferred to the White
House, Representative VIM. 8. Bennett,
of New York, who recently succeeded T..
@. Dupont, OF Delaware, as chief of that
bureau, held lengthy conference with
the president today. He had hurried
here 10 respone to a telephone request
to take up with the president certain
urgent matters in connection with the
closing days OF the campaign. Inquiries
at the White House today, with refer
ence to the report that the president
would make a speech next Saturday
night before the Marquette Club OF Chi
csgo, we're met with evssive replies.
1t is believed that the president is hold
ing himself in readiness to make several
speeches Before the close of the cam
psigu, should be feel that conditions,
as they develop, require it. Among
the suggestions received by the presi-
dent, is one pointing out the great
advantages Of stamping trip TO Obi
cago. Such trip would cover three
doubtful states, reach great industrial,
railroad ard mining sections, and ira
verse in Pennsylvania several communi-
ties 10 which fights are being made
against the republican congressional
ticket. 1t was pointed out that lhis
schedule would give the president rear
cod speeches ct Baltimore sud Harris
larg; st Altoona, at Wilne'ding, and
az Piltsburg. 10 Ohio, the railroad CEN
ters of Alliance and Mansfield, the in
dustrial center of Canton; the MassilIon
coal region and the Lima oil fields
would be travtrsed. 1t is understood
that extra efforts are being made to Sc
cure the labor vote at Gary, Ind, the
new steel town, where Judge Taft, Vice
President Fairbanks and others are
scheduled to speak tonight, and should
he make the trip, the president would
probably .tjp there for a few remarks.
According to Benneps statement, the
oratorical pyrotechnics to be let loose
next week will set thame the heavens OF
Ohio, Indiana and New York, with
sidelights 10 West Virginia, Kentucky
and Connecticut. All the orators that
can be handled have been hurried to
Ohio. Indiana will also be gridironed
with speakers. From Monday morning
until the day before election the thunder
of oratory will continue 10 New York.
Representative Bennett stated that he
felt qualified to state that President
Roosevelt would not take the stump In
this campaign.
The State Department WAS advised
by cable this afternoon of the suicide by
shooting this morning Of Silas O. Nc
Farland, consul general at large and in

Importance.
With respect to Turkey and Austria,
