Washington, Dec. 14.-About this
time every year there comes from the
government printing office a host of
rather dry looking documents-annual
reports, setting forth the ramifications
and results of the activities of hun
dreds of government officials in every
corner Of the national territory. Be-
hind the long columns of figures, un-
derneath the serried dollar marks and
other forms of statistics, between the
lines of bare and often cumbrously
written official statements of men
whose forte is not literary lie stories
which, II one had time to dig them
out, would be as interesting as SRobin-
son Crusoe" or any other Of the ia
nous tales Of adventure.
Take for instance the report of the
secretary OF commerce and labor,
Charles Nagel, addressed to the presi-
dent and first made public Monday.
Some OF the more important portions
OF this report are treated at some
length elsewhere; the following para
graphs indicate the scope of the ac-
tivities of this department. and some
Of the entertaining material with
which It deals in the course of q years
work:
For example, who in the world east
Of the Rocky mountains would have
suspected that some. seals are married
and some are bachelors, and so recog-
nized officially by Uncle Sam? Yet
It seems that there are at least 1000
bachelor" seals on st. Paul's, and st.
Georges islands? Some two thousand
of the seals there are benedicts Of a
polygamous temperament aud have
among them about $4,000 wives, classi-
fed by the government experts into
"harenns." and spoken of that way
when they are oficially talked about.
It also appears that there are only
100000 seals left now on the Pribilof
islands. and the deduction, must follow

LAYING NEW RAILS
Northern Pacific Doing Big Job 81
This State.

Dickinson, N. D., Dec 1.-THE
Northern Pacific railroad is engaged
in relaying the track between Mandan
and Dickinson, removing the old rails
and substituting the ninety pound
rails in their place. The exceptionally
heavy passenger traffic and the fact
that fast trains must be operated over
the division has, made necessary the
change in the rails. Six crews of men
are now engaged on the work and 3
will take about three weeks to Co.

Cases Pending in the Supreme
Are the Obstacles in the
Way
KELLOGG WROTE DRASTIC ORDER
IN THE STANDARD OIL CASE
Was Approved by Attorney General
and is Therefore Construction Of
the Real Application Of the Sherman
Law to Combinations.

Washington, Dec. 14.-There will be
no recommendations from President
Taft concerning amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law until the
courts have. taken final action ON the
American Tobacco and the Standard
Oil cases now pending. This means.
in effect, that antitrust legislation
will not be attempted at this session
of congress.
1t became known at the white
house some time ago that the presi-
dent considered the fact that there
were important cases in the courts
involving the action of the Sherman
law an embarrassment to, him in any
effort to have that statute amended
at this time: The words of hts re-
cent message. however. served to
convey the belief that he would notify
congress at his first opportunity Of
the shortcomings of the Sherman law
and ask them to proceed to it's amend
ment.
Yesterday there came the authora-
tive information that antitrust legis-
lation would have to wait until the
aforementioned cases were out Of
the way.
Will Act on Rate Law.
The president accordingly will pro-
ceed with his message concerning pro-
posed amendments to the Hepburn
rate law. Congress, during the re-
mainder of the session, will hardly
receive from him any matter of great
er Importance than will be contained
in that message.
With the decree in the Standard
Oil case, recently decided by the
United States circuit court, practfcaie
'ly calling a3halt on the operations Of
the big petroleum combination as
such, as we'll as the operation of con-
Germs of like business organization
and practice, President Taft is faced
with a strong temptation to proceed
at once on movement which will
ameliorate the drastic nature Of the
Sherman law before 1t reaches out
further and causes trouble to business
organizations Of nature which con-
gressi never intended should be mo-
Tested. 9.- ...
The. president realizes. however,
that recommendations of that sort
made while the present cases of the
government are pending would only
subject him to suspicion. OF conniv-
ing at their dismissal. In fact, there
would be embarrassments accruing
to the administration which might
upset all the good the president is
expecting to accomplish.
