Case Will Be Appealed to United States Supreme Court. St. Paul, April 10.—Judge Walter H. Sanborn, senior United States circuit judge of the Eighth judicial district, has handed down a decision in the Minnesota rate cases, affirming the report of the master and enjoining the enforcement of the reductions of pasg- senger, freight and commodity rates after June 1, 1811. The decision was against the members of the Minnesota state railroad commission on the .around that the necessary effect of the reductions ordered was substan- tially to regulate interstate commerce and to create unjust discriminations between localities in Minnesota and those in adjoining states in violation of the commerce clause of the Con stitution and to take the properties of the railroad companies without just compensation. The decision, in brief, holds: 3 ¥irst—That the laws of the state legislature reducing passenger rates 331-3 per cent and reducing commod- ity rates 7.37 per cent are discrimina- tory and in violation of the Constitu. tion of the United States. Becond—That the railroad and ware. house commission’s order reducing general merchandise rates within the state is discriminatory and in viola- tion of the Constitution of the United States. Power, of the Commission. Third—That a state may regulate in- trastate commerce insofar as it does mnot burden interstate commerce and no farther, thus striking a death blow at the railroad and warehouse commis- sion. . Fourth—That the nation only, through the national congress, can regulate interstate commerce rates. Fifth—All state laws regulating rates, which affect or burden or regu- late interstate commerce, are uncon- stitutional and void. Sixth—The unavoidable effect of the sweeping laws of Minnesota reducing and regulating rates is to directly diseriminate against interstate com- maerce and is in direct violation of the commerce clause of the Constitution. Judge C. E. Otis, who acted as mas- ter in chancery and heard the mass of testimony in the rate cases and whose decision the opinion of Judge Sanborn upholds, is deeply gratified over the finding of the court, “The decision speaks for itself,” he said, “and I am glad that I have been completely vindicated in the matter.” K. 8.

Honolulu, April 10.—A writ of habeas the 150 Filipino laborers aboard the steamship Senator, des- tined for the Alaskan canneries, was issued m the federal court here. It is another move in eflorts made by local pianters io prevent removal of labor- ‘ers whom they have brought here at ®reat exnense. The Senator still is- cruising back and forth off Pearl Harbor. The en- tire coast is being guarded by the po- lice and Japanese power sampans are kept under espionage. ' No one is al- lowed to leave shore.for the Senator. The legislature has passed an act meking it a misdemeanor to solicit laborers within thirty days of their ar- vival in the ‘territory. This is de- signed to prevent efforts to divert a crowd of immigrants due here from Pertugal in a few days on the steam- er Oteric. 1CE FLOES IMPERIL STEAMER Stranded Moreland May Be Swept Into Deep Water and Sunk. Calumet, Mich., April 10.—An im- ‘mense ice floe, ten to fifteen miles -across, is reported coming down Lake Superior from the north side of Isle ‘Royale, driven by the brisk northwest- erly winds of the last three days. Some of this ice undoubtedly will pile up on Keweenaw. point, where the ad- vance guard of small bergs and mon- ster cakes is already grinding. This great floe and others like it are the only danger to the big steamer More- land, which still rests on Sawtooth reef off Eagle river. At present there is no ice about the steamer where she rests on the reef a mile from shore. ‘The weight of such a floe against the big steel ship, however, if it struck here, would undoubtedly carry her off the reef into deep water, where she would sink. he was killed at the Azoves. These happenings. however, took a long time to reach the ears of Queen Catherine, and in.the meantime she nursed her dreams and prepared a map on which “the new world of the north” and *the new world of the south” figured as colonies of KFrance. This cartographic curiosity is among the map treasures ‘| of the National library in Paris. Sweetness That Never Palls. During a sleepless night the Vizier Mujjeduddin Kumija dispatched his slave, Bedruddin Ejas, to bring him sweets. The slave procured a copper kettle heaped with many kinds of | fruits and - sweets, and Mujjeduddin began to eut. “You relish them, my master?”’ asked the slave. The vizier shrugged his shoulders. “These frults are sweet—for the mo- ment,” he said, “but show me'a fruit the sweetness of which will endure i even unto the judgment day.” “Such fruits there are, my master,” cried the slave and hastened toward the Mesched Husa, where he awoke the starving orphans in the house of Allwin and led them forth into the room of his master. Overjoyed, the famished children devoured the fruits. “Look, oh, my master,” said the slave. “Here you see fruits the sweet- ness of which endures unto the judg- ment day.” Two Little Bills. Robert was in the habit of expecting reward for every little service. At the énd of the week he made out a “bill" to his mother and carefully laid it where her eyes would fall upon it. The items were as follows: “Mother Owes to Robert. “Five cents for running errands. “Five cents for being good.” That evening there appeared beside Robert's plate a paper upon which was writfen: “Robert owes mother, for years of happiness, nothing; for nursing him through long illnesses, nothing; for do- ing good to him, nothing.” Thoroughly ashamed of himself, Robert ran to mother, threw his arms around her and sobbed: “Mofher, T will do everything 1 can for: you after this, and I'll never ask you to give me anyibing but just love."—Omaha World-ITeraid. Easy to Please. “So,” said his girl’s papa furiously, “you think you conld make my little girl Arethusa happy % The young man considered his pro- spective pa-in-law, who had gout and a ‘e like a fire engine and an eighty cpower temper, he's beeu happy with you, sir, hasn't she?” (he young man asked. “I think so, my boy—I think so,” re- plicd his girl'y papa. *I certainly think so. - 1 think so eertaiuly. I'm certain I think go.” chimed in the young man sweetly, “if she’s been happy “with you I certainly think F can make her happy. I think so. T think so cer- tainly. I'm cerrain I think so.” Sleepwalking. Somnambulism has been a mystery and a matter of discussion to the med- ical profession since the days of the ancients. "They: knew as well as we all now know that there is such u thing as somunambulism, or walking in the sleep. They attempted to explain it just as modern medical seience has been endeavoring to explain it ever since. But as it was then so it is-now. There are so many explanations that even the physician is puzzled to decide which to accept. A Freak.

The famous beauties of the world are wise when they leave no portraits of themselves. Take Marguerite of Va- lois. She was an immoral, dishonor- able, criminal, scheming, unscrupulous villainess, but she was dowered with such charm that there was not a jailer or an enemy she could not charm when she tried. No, nor a woman—not even the wives of her lovers.. Men came from every country, taking year long journeys, only to see her and went away, after a little glimpse, saying they had “seen loveliness itself.” Then one sees her portraits. Too much fore- head, not enough eyebrow, & straigh’ nose and expressive mouth (in one pic- ture a lovely mouth)—and that is all. Mary, queen of Scots, was very lovely —three kingdoms battled because of her beauty—and yet her pictures leave one cold. Fouche said her portrait showed every trait of the lowest crim- inal type. That was before he kne\t whose picture he criticised.—London Truth., Currying No Favor. “Lend a hand, Hiram, and help ketch the alderman’s pig.” “Let the alderman ketch his own pig.

Trav- elers related that in Tartary there grew a shrub and that when its ripe fruit was cut open within was “a Iyttle Beaste in flesche, in bone and blode as though it were a lyttle Lamb with The flesh of this “vege- table lamb” was eaten, ran the story, fand the wool made into cloth. The basis of the legend is the way in which the cotton pod ripens and bursts, show- ing the white fluffy raw cotton, which closely resembles wool. Raw cotton is still called “cotton wool.” Doubter. “The world is getting so good- you may soon see the lion lle down with the lamb.” “Yes, but when the lon rises, where will the lamb be?”’ “I dunno.
