PAUL, Minn., June 16.—Counsel for the state of Minnesota in the United States district court today gave notice that when the merger suit agalost the Northern Se- curities company cameé up on June 24, the state would make a motion to remand the case to .the state courts. Judge Lochren granted the petition for leave to argue this motion on the date named. The move on the state's part is one to save time. The state courts, too, are more likely to ume jurisdiction than the fed- eral courts, which apply a stricter rule.

His exact condition will not be known until the arrival of the spe- clalists. ’ MILITIA NOT ~WITHDRAWN . (Continued from First Page.) morning by guards on Coal Dale mountain, as they were crossing Elkhorn tunnel. The rifles were taken away from thent and stored at Coal Dale. This was accomplished through the assistance of an agitator. At the Tug River operation in the Tug River district last night, an effort was made by thirty strikers to take possession of everal mines. A number of shots were exchanged by strikers and guards. The strikers finally were driven off. At Norton, in the lower Clinch valley dis- trict, mines are working with one-fourth their regular force. Armed Strikers Parade, ROANOKE, Va., June:16.—According to advices received by the Norfolk & Westera Raflway company today the only deviation from the usual qulet that has prevailed in the Pocahontas coal reglon since the strike was inaugurated was the parade of several bands of strikers through the fields this morning. Some of the men were armed. These demonstrations later in the day were somewhat checked by the counselling of wiser heads and the later reports Indi- cate that the armed bodies will give up thelr guns. No serfous troubles anticl- pated. The numerous meetings of miners on Sun- day and the marching squads this morning have had the effect of somewhat checking the large number of men who have been re- turning to work. It is not thought here that the strikers have gained many recruits and it is known that some of the men who were on strike last week have returned to work today. E. W.

WOULD LEVY DUTY ON MAIZE Chancellor of Exchequer Will Not Ae- cept Amendment Extluding Cereal from Grain Revenue. LONDON, June 16.—In the course of the debate on the finance bill in the House of Commons today, the changellor of the ex- chequer, Sir, Michael Hicks-Beach, refused to accept an amendment to omit maize from the new duties on grain. He sald he did not belleve that the extra 2 pence per hundredweight would increase the price, and even if it did the effects would not be so terrible as predicted by the Irish members. Thomas W. Russell, M. P., advanced the curious plea for an abatement of the tax that “maize was not only ysed as food for animals in Ireland, but for human food among the poorest,of the poor.” Paying Attention to Morgan. BERLIN, June 16.—The German press is paying much attention to J. Plerpont Mor- gan. A dispatch recently published is to the effect that Mr. Morgan was mentally depressed as the result of a contract made between the shipping combine and the Ger- man steamship companies. The Berliner Tageblatt telegraphed its London corre- spondent with regard to this dispatch and has recelved the following reply: “Mr. Morgan's partners here inform me that the letters recelved from Mr. Morgan on his yacht in the Adriatic show him to be in a very jolly mood."” Monuments Not Destroyed. OTTAWA, Ont., June 16.—The mounted police department has recelved a report from Superintendent Constantine, In which he says there is not the slightest truth In the report about the destruction of boundary monuments. The boundary belng surveyed at the time was the one between British Columbla and the Yukon territory. Indians traveling in parties erect smoke monuments at their camps should any of their party dfe. It is supposed that the destruction of one of these first gave rise to the rumor. Notable Wedding in London. LONDON, June 16.—Rutherford Stuyv ant of New York, a brother of Mrs. Henry ‘White, wife of the secretary of the United States embassy here, and the Comtesse de Wessenaer were married today. The cere- mony, which was qulet, occurred at St George's chapel, Albemarle street. United States Ambassador Choate and Mrs. Choate and members of the embassy staff and their wives, besides several of the bride’s relatives, attended. The bride is the widow of a Dutch count. R —— GO WAY BACK Or Feed S0 You Can Keep Up. People must be well fed in this world if they are expected to do good work. A car- penter with poor tools must take less wages and handle the poor jobs. So in life, the person with a weak, badly nourished body must get out of the way for the strong ones. A school teacher writes from Vermont, She had been compelled to take a little, backwoods school for small wages becau: she had not the strength to conduct a bet- ter school. “Small appetite and poor digestion kept me weak. I had been compelled to rest at the noon hour and shut myself away from all company morning and night. In fhis way only could I work, up to about a year ago, when a lady visiting here from Call- fornia led me to ghare a dish of Grap Nuts with her. Dbring the winter I ate occaslonally of the food, always with good results. “Last July it wi cesgary for me to at- tend the summer school for teachers. Be- ing poor in purse and sick in body I could not pay the expense of boarding in a big place, so I reated a room and boarded my- self. Grape-Nuts and cream tasted good and I Jtved almost exclusively on the food. “Graduslly, to my surpr toward the close of the second week the sort of mental haze that had been about me for a long time broke away and I grasped the thought presented with a clearness I had not known for a long time. “I came back to my school with better heajth and memory than I have known for 20 years, and now, while at work, 1 repeat I have better merve and brain power and better digestion than I have had before in 20 years.” There s a reason for this. Grape-Nuts Food 1s a sure, steady brain builder. It is made for that purpose and anyone can prove it by use. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

KEAN OBJECTS AND MATTER GOES OVER London Doeck &ex Bill Dise and After Some Amendments Are Rejected the Meas- Passed. a ure WASHINGTON, June 16.—After a dis- cussion extending over parts of seve days, the senate today passed what popularly known as the Locdoen dock charges bill. The opposition to the meas- ure practically collapsed and it was paseed without division. Consideration then Was continued on the isthmian canal project, Mr. Cullom of M- nols and Mr. Kittredge of South Dakota delivering speeches in advocacy of the Pagama route. The former based his argument principally on the report of the isthmian commission recommending that route, asserting that he was satiefled that a good title to the property could be ob- tained. Mr. Kittredge not only strongly favored the Panama route, which, in his Judgment, wag much the better, but also attacked the Nicaragua plan as lacking in definiteness. He pointed out that Costa Rica was constitutionally unable to grant the necessary copcessiohs to the United States and sald if. the Nicaragua route were selected it probably would be a long time before work could be begun, even If it ever could be. Just before adjournment a spirited 4 cussion was precipitated over a motion by Mr. Proctor of Vermont to agree to a con- ference with the house on the army ap- propriation bill. Several weeks ago the senate was affected by a message from the house refusing to submit to conterence cer- tain senate amendments to the bill. The opposition ot Mr. Proctor's motion was so vigorous that finally he was forced to with- draw It for the present. At the conclusion of routine business Mr. Teller offered the following resolution: Whereas, It seems impracticable to pre- pare during this session of congress an itemized statement showing the collection and disbursement of all funds for the whole period of the military occupation of Cuba, and, Whereas, It is jmportant that a state- ment be row made of the.accounts here- after named; therefore be it Resolved, That the secretary o* war be and he hereby is directed to sema to the senate the following: A full itemized statement ot a1t pzyments made out of Cuban funds to any person or corporation, if any, for the purpose of romoting “‘reciprocity” setween thy Inited States and Cuba, at any time during the military occupation of Cuba by the united States, and whether such payments were authorized or approved by the secre- tary of war. Mr. Kean of New Jersey objected to im- mediate consideration of the resolution, and it went over, Consideration was then resumed of the London dock charges bill. Pending disposition of the bill, the senate agreed to a conference on the bill for the protection of the president, and Messre. Hoar, Fairbanks and Pettus were appointed as conferees. The London dock charges -bNl was dis- cussed by Mr. McCumber of North Daktoa, Mr. Nelson of Minnesota, Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire, and Mr. Hale of Maine. Mr. Hale could not see why the amendment offered by Mr. Hoar should not be ac- cepted. It must be an extreme, drastic and unreasonablé bill and it ought not to be passed'Jf ‘a. provision should not be inserted in the bill of lading, that the car- fler ‘should 'be required to pay charges lawfully made apon him. 3 Mr. Nelson contended that this London charge was “‘an arbitrary and fixed charge not subject to’competition.” If the charge were included in the freight charge that would be subject to competition. After some further discussion the vote was taken on Mr. Hoar's amendment which provides that ‘fothing in the act should prevent the carrier from stipulating for relmbursement to him by the shipper or consignee of any charges which he lawfully may be compelled to pay, or for compensa- tion for any service which he may agree to render. The amendment was rejected, 9 to 36. * The bill then was passed: The bill provides that no master or owner of a vessel transporting goods to a foreign port shall insert in the bill of lading or other agreement any clause whereby he shall be relieved of liability for loss or damage arising from negligence, fault or failure in proper loading or proper deliv- ery of any goods committed to his care; or any cla or agreement whereby there is imposed on the consignee any port or dock charges of any kind for the discharge or delivery of the goods, the payment of which by law is imposed upon such master, agent or owner. A bill for preventing the adulteration or misbrand of any brand of food, beverages, candies and condiment in the District of Columbia and the territories, and for regu- lating Interstate traffic therein, then was taken up. Without dieposing of the measure ‘the senate at 1 o'clock, at the conelusion of the morning hour, resumed the considera- tion of the isthmian canal project, Mr. Cullom of Illinois, addressing the senate. Ho favored the Spooner amendment. He sald that for many years the belief had prevailed that the Panama route had been impossible, hence all attention had been given to the Nicaragua route. The danger from volcanoes by either route was about equal. He pointed out the differences in the Panama route as to cost, length and time of passage. He believed the Panama company could convéy a good title, but under the Spooner bill the Nicaragua canal would be built if the Panama title could not be secured. DAY SET FOR FINAL VOTE House to Dispose of Philippine Civil Government Bill on June 26. WASHINGTON, June 16.—At the open- ing of the session of the house today Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin asked unanimous con- ent for the consideration of a resolution to make the Philippine civil government bill a special order from June 16 to June 26, inclusive. The resolution provided for five days for general debate, the house to meet at 11 o'clock each day and for night e slons until 10:30 p. m., for two days' con- slderation under the five-minute rule and a final vote at 4 o'clock on Thursday, June 26, Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, asked if the effect of the rule would not be to cut off all except committee amendmen Mr. Cooper denied this and sald it was the intention of the committee to allow the widest latitude in amendment. There wak no objection and the resolu- tion was adopted without division. Mr. Gillett of " Massachusetts, chalrman of the committee on reform of the eivil service, from that committee reported back the resolution calling upon the secretary of war for the reasons for the dismissal from her position in the classified service of the War department of Rebecca J. Taylor and moved that the resolution be lald upon the table. Upon that métion Mr. Shallenberger of Nebrasks demanded the ayes and noes and the roll was called. Mr. Gillett's mo- tion prevatled, 108 to 84. Mr. McCleary of Miupesots. Mr. Brem- well of Oblo and Mr. Misor of Wisconsin [ voted with the democrats agalnst the tion. The senate amendments to the naval ap- propriation’ bill were nonconcurred in and the bill was sent to conference. Messrs Foss of Illinols, Dayton of West Virginia and Meyer of Loulsiana were appointed conferees. Mr. Sherman of New York moved to sus- pend the rules and adopt a senate resolu- tion to amend the Indian appropriation act for the coming fiscal year in réference to the allotments in severalty of lands in certaln Indlan reservations. Mr. Richardeon, the minority leader asked it the president had signed the Indian bill with the obnoxious provisions in it. Mr. Sherman replied that the president had signed it In the expectation that the provisions would bé modified in accord- ance with the resolution. Mr. Little sald he belleved the president should have ve- toed the bill on account of the provisions it contalned regarding lessees in the Ulntal reservation. He was, however, In full sym- pathy with the purposes of the pending res- olution. Mr. Stephens of Texas criticised the res- olution because, he sald, it would re-enact existing law and perpetuate the present system of leasing grazing lands. Under that system the secretary of the lnterlor, he sald, bhad leased 400,000 acres on R river, in Oklahoma, to millionaire cattle- men. The resolution was adopted. NO HOPE FOR MISS TAYLOR Clerk Dismissed for Criticising Phil- ippine Policy Will Not Be Relnstated. mo- WASHINGTON, June 16.—The house com- mittee on reform of the civil service today voted 6 to 2, on party lines, to table the resolution calling on the secretary of war for information as to the dismissal of Re- becca J. Taylor, a clerk of the War de- partment. The case has caused some attention be- cause Miss Taylor was dismissed for writ- ing a letter appearing in a Washington newspaper, headed ““The Flag Shall Stay Put,”” and criticising the president's at- titude in relation to the Philippines. Mr. Gillett presented to the committee all the correspondence which had been for- warded by Secretary Root. This included a letter from Secretary Root to the chalr- man, stating “‘the opportunity for explana- tion or statement afforded to Miss Taylor with express reference to section 8 of clvil service rule 2 was deemed by the department to be a full and substantial compliance with the civil service law, and clearly so under the rulings of the eivil service commission. ““No head of a department can maintain effective administration if he s obliged to depend upon the services of clerks who are 80 violently opposed to the success of the work in which they are engaged that they are unable to refrain from publi¢ denuncia- tion of the purpose of the work and public insult to the president.” The other correspondence, including Miss Taylor's letter acknowledging authorship, heretofore have appeared. Me: . Shallenberger of Nebraska and Zenor of Indiana were the democrats present who voted against tabling the reso- lutfen. CANNOT Inte MODIFY SYSTEM Commeree Commission Tarns Down Santa Fe and Other Roads. ate WASHINGTON, June 16.—The Interstate Commerce commission in the case of the Shippers Unlon of Pheonix, Ariz., against the Santa Fe road and others declined to allow the railroads to modify their long ayStem of rate making, but detained the case for further consideration and action on similar cases. The commission complained that freight rates between New York, St. Louls and other eastern points are unjust and un- reasonable in themsélves and as compared with rates on llke trafic between eastern points and Los Angeles. The commission holds that the evidence in this case is insuficient. The system of rate making complained of also applies over other trans- continental lines throughout a great belt of territory and affects numerous localities and interests which had not been heard in this proceeding. GOOD SEASON IN ALASKA Mail Advices from Survey Party Indi- cate a Profitable Season Gold Fields. WASHINGTON, June " 16.—Recent mall advices from the geological survey parties in Alaska indicate that conditions are fa- ble for an exceptionally profitable season. The party in the charge of Mr. Alfred Brooks landed at the Yonek on May 27. This party, with a pack train, will proceed northward, passing around the orthern base of the Mt. McKinley range, reaching Circle City on the Yukon late in the fall. The two partles which will work in the Copper river country under §chrader and Girdene have safely reached their flelds. Their supplies were taken In suc- cesstully over the snow during February and March and are now at Batsulnitas, near the head of the Copper river. This will form the base of operations for the two parties during the summer. The suc- cessful transportation of the supplies over the coast range to the interior by Mr. Girdene was a matter of considerable difi- culty. Hobson Gets Leave of Absence. ‘WASHINGTON, June 16.—Constructor Hobson appealed today to Secretary Moody for a three months’ leave of absence on account of the condition of his eyes. He is now on special duty at Elizabethport, N. J. The secretary conferred about this application with Admiral Taylor, Construc- tor Bowles and Surgeon General Rixey and decided to allow the leave. The naval con- structors are badly needed just now, but Secretary Moody felt that he could not disregard an appeal based on medical reasons, as stated by the surgeon general. It Is reasonably certain that Mr. Hobson cannot remain in active service. At the expiration of the three months' leave, if bis eyes have not materially improved, will be ordered before another retiring board and it is belleved that he will this time be retired.
