While the government OF the United
States Is willing 20 take most drastic
action against President Zelaya. OF Mica
ragua, If he insists upon violating his
treaty obligations. officials OF the gov
ernment do not believe forcIble measures
will be necessary. as It is expected that
once Zelaya realizes how really in earnest
the United States and Mexico are. he will
recsde from his belligerent attitude and
behave himself.
The United States insists upon two
things: That Zelaya keep the peace and
that he make some step toward the arbf-
tration and settlement Of the Emery
claim. This claim has been bothering
the State Department for two or more
years. and the new administration IS Of
the opinion that the matter should be
closed at once.
Flourish of Big stick.

government comprise a flourish Of the

There was a great deal OF talk yester-
day Of sending expeditions TO Nicaragua
The Secretary of State inquired Of the
Secretary Of the Navy as TO the posi-
biHty OF speedily sending an expedition
of marines into Nicaragua.
The Secretary Of the Navy said there
were about 800 marines IN Panama and 20
more at Guantanamo that could quickly
be transported 10 the trouble zone. That
is about as far as plans for an expedition
actually went. In the meantime four
American gunboats are headed for Mica
raguan waters
They have been sent there 10 be pres

on the Pacific side. and at Bluefelds and
Greytown on the Caribbean.
No news was received in Washington
yesterday Of the reported conflict between
warships Of Nicaragua and Salvador. As
the day went on and no confirmation OF
the reported naval engagement came in,
officials Of the State Department were

Lake Bemidji Transportation Company

Next Season.

The summer season of 1909 will
see the largest passenger boat here

Bemidji and the Mississippi river in
this vicinity, the company will place
forty-foot passenger boat on the
lake to make daily trips to the differ
ent summer resorts and to the dam
nine miles down the river.

? Washington, Feb. 22.-The conclu-
sion reached by Senator Kittredge,
who has prepared "a report of the in
vestigation of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company's absorption by the
United States Steel corporation is
that the merger forms combination
in restraint of traae and that Presi-
dent Roosevelt hH no authority of

port will be submitted to the sub-com-

could not be learned whether other
members Of the committee will pre-
sent their views in Individual state
ments, but it is believed that Mr.. Gull
berson, who is the author of the reso.
luton under which the inquiry was
conducted, intends to do SO. Any &C.
ton taken by the subcommittee must
have the approval of the judiciary
committee before being presented to
the senate
1t is with the law questions involved
in the merger that Mr.. Kittredge
deals particularly. He quotes from
the testimony given by witnesses as
indicating that there was no actual
business necessity for the merger, but
this conclusion is only incidental to
the declaration that under existing
law the absorption Of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company was illegal.
