COURT FINDS the
WAY" as WELL
as the ''ROAD"

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-The
supreme court today held the Northern
Pacific Railway" company liable for
the debts of the Northern Paclflce
Railroad" company.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Lamar in suit brought by Joseph
F. Boyd
In a decision of momentous import
ance, especially as to railroads, the
supreme court today laid down the
general principal that a creditor OF
corporation, not party to its re-or-
ganization, may hold it's successor for
its debt.
In this specific case, the court, five
to four, in a decision which Justice
I.urton. who dissented, declared was
alarming held the Northern railway
responsible for $125,0O0 judgment
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, which it succeeded despite
the fact that the court expressly stat
ed that no moral wrongdoing was to
be found in the reorganization.
Corporation lawyers who heard the
decision. declared it was direct blow
at the practice of recognizing 'corpor
ations to get rid of onerous contracts
or escape payment to unsecured cred
itors. Its effect, they thought, would
be- far reaching.

BRYAN ARRIVES.
Sacramento, Calf, April 28.-Will-
lam J. Bryan, secretary of state, ar
rived in Sacramento early this morn
ing to confer with Governor John
son and the California legislature on
the proposed anti-land holding laws.
Governor Johnson met the visitor at
the train, where also considerable
group of Democratic Legislators had
gathered and personally welcomed
Mr.. Bryan to California.
Secretary Bryan made the following
statement upon his arrival:
81 am visiting California at the re-
quest of the president and with the
consent of the legislature, to confer
upon an important matter which,
while local in it's immediate effect, is
international in character.
Each state occupies a dual posi-
ton. While it is the guardian of its
domestic affairs, it is a member of
the union and therefore interested in
all that concerns the nations rela-
tions with the outside world.
The president, upon whom rests
the constitutional duty of maintaining
diplomatic relations, with other coun.
tries, asked me to come to California
to confer with the governor and leg
fslature upon such phases of the sub
ject as touch this nations relations
with other nations.

Washington, D. c., April 2S.-A rush
Ct speech making on the final day OF
general debate on the tariff bill made
proceedings lively in the house. Most
Ct the members had held back with a
view of getting the larger audiences
expected with the closing of the gem
eral debate and the shifting of the
consideration of the Underwood tariff
revision to a reading of the measure
under the five minute rule, beginning
tomorrow.
Chairman Underwood has not
changed his view that the bill should
be disposed of in the house within
week from today and that the sugar
schedule is not likely to offer much
real trouble. He hoped that unless the
fight of the anti-free wool advocates
spreads, the bill will emerge from the
senate substantially in the form in
which it stands.
Representative Rainey, Of Illinois,
who had charge of the agricultural
schedule of the bill, as a member of
the ways and means committee; Rep
resentative Murdock, of Kansas, the
leader of the Progressives, along with
Representative Chandler, of New
York. and others of that party and
some of the big guns of the Republi-
cans, were on today's speaking pro-

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 2S.--The
state supreme court today issued an
Injunction restraining 1872 fire insur-
arce companies from terminating cen
tracts now in force. The court did
not restrain the companies from re-
fusing to write new business in the
state.
The companies were given ten days
to show why they should not be finel
for threatening to leave the state. The
companies are given ten days to show
cause why they should not be enjoined
permanently from cancelling present
contracts.
Representatives of the insurance
companies, when the petitions were
filed by the attorney general Satur
day, said the companies had no in
tention of cancelling present contracts,
but merely would write no new bus,
mess or renew present cotracts after
April 80.

was on broad scale during the
morning and the downward movement
assumed formidable proportions in
the early trading today. Short sell
ing was aggressive at all points, and
there was unmistakable evidence also
for the growing over of weak bull
accounts. The speculative fluctua-
tions was virtually unchanged except
in so far as the weakness of the
European market was reflected here.
Despite the depression abroad, Lon
don bought stocks here.
At home the demand was still dull

ering of shorts.
Bonds were heavy.
Prices for important issues were on
a level with Saturdays close, the
market giving an unexpected indica-
tion of recuperative power after the
bear trading was stopped Business
became intensely dull after the rise.
Operations in the last half of the
session in point of trading and extent
of fluctuations were in notable con-
trast to the mornings business.
Trading was in small amounts and
changes were slight, but the under
tone was firm. Evening up of short
contracts furnished about the only
element of strength, speculation for
the long account seemingly being IN
consequential.

points of weakness cropped out, espe-
cially the Southern railway shares,

Washington, D. c., April 28.-A
war speech" in support of the pro-
posed California anti-alien land law
was delivered in the house today by
Representative Sisson of Mississippi.
'If we must have war or submit to
this indignity, I am for war" cried
Mr.. Sisson. 81 am with the people
of California in their efforts to pre-
vent these aliens from acquiring land.
81 believe" said Mr.. Sisson, that
no nonresident alien should be al
lowed to hold single foot of land
in the territory of the United States.
"What would Washington say in an
swer to the question, war or submis-
sion? What would Jackson say?
What would Cleveland say? What
would Mckinley say?
81 resent the efforts, of Japan to
force us to submit to her demands.
Mr.. Sisson took the position that
the japanese government, in protest.
ing against alien land legislation was
endeavoring to exempt its citizens
from the operation of the laws of
states.
"The president and secretary of
state" said Mr.. Sisson, Should only
assure an alien government that the
people of the alien nation would be
dealt with fairly in accordance with
the law of the state. Any other posi-
ton would lead to the federal govern
ment taking out from under the laws
of the states the citizens of another
nation. But all citizens or aliens resi-
dent in state must be held subject
to it's laws, and to exempt the alien
would give him privileges over and
above those accorded to Americans. ;"
