SOCIALISM FOUND IN NAVY.

! London, May 23.-.Alarmed by re-
ports of spread of Socialism in the
English navy, Conservative members
of the House of Commons intend to
bring the matter up in Parliament
shortly. Unless Secretary of the
Navy McKenna is able to satisfy
them that accounts of the move
ment's growth are much exaggerat-
led, they will make strong effort to
secure steps checking Though
just how this is TO be done is not
clear.
The present excitement is direct
ly due to recent article in the So
cialist newspaper Justice in which
it was stated that the paper is send
ing it's correspondents in the navy
occasional parcels of leaflets and
pamphlets for free distribution and
will be glad to receive and forward
anything of the kind which may be
sent us for that purpose. AS may
be understood, considerable care has
to be exercised in carrying on such
work, and naturally we cannot give
our correspondents names or adj
dress.
1T is perhaps needless to say that
because the men are becoming more
intelligent, through more intitative'I
and intelligence being demanded of
them, they find the feudalism of the
service all the more revolving. In

show a falling off from the heavy in
creases reported by them for several
years, indicating that the final proof
business for these districts is begin
ming to wane. The Chamberlain
district shows up 1873 additional
tracts, of which portion are Indian
heirship lands sold and thus brought
under taxation, the greater part
though being in the way of new final
proofs. BY counties the return, Ly-

lands. The Belle Fourche office on
ly reports 6S7 new tracts, the larg-
est number being in Meade county,
with 276; Butte has 234; Lawrence

heavy reduction from the business OF

ENGLISH SURPLUS FOR
PEACE FUND

London, May 24.-Keir Hardie
wants the English government to
spend last years treasury surplus
of about $4,000, 900 on the promo
ton of Universal peace. Chancellor
of the Exchequer Lloyd Georges
plan is to devote it to a broadening
of the old-age-pension system, to i'm
provement of the labor exchange
aud to other sociological expert
>nents. Hardie argues that no Soc
illogical experiment will do the
masses more good than making war
impossible.
If England's current years ex-
penditure of $4,000, 900 on it's ar
my and navy were divided up among
the people, Hardie points out, it
would give an increased wage Of 81
weekly to each. man, woman and
child in Great Britain. For a coun-
try where more or less skilled
workman's wages does not eceed
$3.50 weekly Hardie thinks this ex-
ira 81 would be a pretty substant-
ia] increase. He adds that the more
this expenditure grows the harder
1t will be to get social reform.
Hardie is insisting on his plan in
a series of speeches, but thus far
he does not seem to have made any
impression on the Chancellor.

".
Washington, May 23.-Disapprov-
al of judicial legislation as expressed
in Chief Justice Whites opinion in
the Standard Oil decision and appro-
baton of the stand taken by Justice
John M. Harlan, was the attitude
taken by Senator La Toilette in the
following statement prepared for
the United Press by Robert M. La
Toilette, United States senator from
Wisconsin:
II heard only a part of Chief Jus
tice Whites oral statement but I
heard all of Justice Harlan's state
ment of his reasons for dissenting.
Assuming that he correctly inter-
prets the decision Of the court I
say that the supreme court has writ
ten into law a construction which
that court has heretofore decided
unwarranted and unsafe. 1t is
this very construction which the
trusts and combinations have sought
to engraft upon the law for many
years.
Congress has refused to so
amend the law as to leave 1t to the
courts to say that some combinations
liz restraint Of trade are reasonable
and some unreasonable. If it shall
be found this decision In effect
amends the antitrust law as Judge
Harlan asserts. then 1t will prove
the most unfavorable example by
judicial construction which our his

Madrid, Spain, May 23.-Spain

that Portugal is per-

is not large enough to indicate any ap-
probable slowing down in active move

A large tonnage IS now In final
stages of contracting and present indi-
cations are that March bookings will
reach a total which will not be far
from full rated capacity Of mills.
Steel makers are much gratified by
an increase of over 5000. 100000 of ex-
ports over imports in the six months
from July to March, and students of
international trade say the United
States is now In q far better position
as to its foreign trade than at any time
