Paris hats, London hats and New York hats are here in magnificent profusion, but no more in- teresting than are those produced right here'by our own skilled force of designers and trimmers. “Brandeis” models are the acknowledged leaders of fashion for the western millinery world. The value-giving power of our store will again be demonstrated by a display of figures for the world's choicest millinery merchandise, such -as must convince the most skeptical that they are practioally throwing their money away if they do not buy their millinery wants from us, and in order to signalize this opening we have prepared a most inviting feast of seasonable bargains.

DOUBT AS TO ‘BINDING RATIFICATION Amendment Postponing Operation by Some to Entall a Se in Ofiicial Approval United States. WASHINGTON, March 20.—From such fmperfect readings of the treaty as can be had at this stage the State department officials have some doubt as to their ability to do anything whatever with the conven- tion. The-amendments made by the senate, par- ticularly that added to the ratifying article, may result in the complete loss of the treaty. There are conflicting clauses which it may not be possible to reconcile. This is especially true of the amendment suspend- ing the treaty till after its approval by the house. Thik led to complications which are now vexing the. departments here, as, two_ dif- ferent dutes aro fixed, 1 the same article for theytaking ¢floct ot (he treaty.

It is possible that a way will be found out of this web of contrarieties, and to that end the State department is working. The Cuban minister here evidently is dismayed at the situation and although he made every effort In his power to keep the facts from attracting attention, they developed tully today, even to the knowledge of his immediate compliance with the State de- partment's suggestion that he cable Presi- dent Palma suggesting an immediate call- is now in rece Reyuest Special Cuban Session, of State Loomis and Mr Qu an, the Cuban minister, after discussing the pr cts of the ratifitation of the Cuban treaty within the time limit today, decided President Palma, requesting him to call the Cuban congress into extraordinary session immediately for | this purpose, as that body otherwise would | not meet until April 7, seven days after expiration of the legal time limit for | the the exchange of ratifications.

' He expressed his admiration of the dignified way in which the burghers accepted the result of the appeal to arms and continued “The only fruit which we desire from the war is the friendship of those who were so recently fighting us.” The conciliatory spirit displayed in this sentence pervaded the entire speech. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain were entertained by the lord mayor. at luncheon in the mansion house. Among the guests at the Mansion house were Ambassador Choate and Marquls de Soveral, the Portuguese minister, besides | those already mentioned as present at the | Guild hai.

In answer to the allegation of the gov- ernment in its bill of complaint, that thig 1s a practical pooling of 1) two companies, we unswer that the word “pooling’ as tsed by intended to have an.ffensive meaning and an application which cannot be derived trom the lawful acts which the defendants have done The stocks are not pooled under any trust arrangement or agreement whatever and that term is no more applicable to the arrangement than it would be if one natural person had purchased in his own right. Of course, it is a natural conse- quence of the owhership of the stock that the dividends declared and paid thereon g0 to the owner, and this is no more true With reference to the Northern Securities company as owner than it would be as to any other hold We ask the court to keep in sight the fact that the co-operation of these two rallway companies, both before and after the formation of the securities company, was Intended, not for the purpose of monopolizing trade and commerce, but for the purpose of strengthening, augmenting and extending the trade and business of 0 companies in both transcontinental orld-wide competition with other pub. carriers The result is not pernicious, but beneficlal, and should be marked with public approval, rather than by legislative and governmental obstruction When Mr. Griggs concluded Mr. Watson esserted that it was his purpose to dem- onstrate that the merging of railroad in- terests by the Northern Securities com- pany was a most willful violation of the trust act “Isn't 1t the law of competition,” he sal hat different roads traversing the same territory will make different rates, carry different kinds of commoditics, run different kinds of trains and in a hundred different ways seek to better their own interests at Here the defendants have merged the in- terests of all the roads in a certain terri- foreign commerec: He declared that a man has not right to corner any commodity to such an the extent as to engross the market nor monop- | olize & ggrtain line of business serted tbAl, therefore, a corporation has no such right and that under the plain language, of the second section of the act any corporation who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize thereby violated the law, which was supreme and must be up- held Court then adjourned.
