The inter- view was satisfactory, the President granting the admiral's request. Messrs. Raynor and Teague will to-day assist Ad- miral Schiey in the preparation of the ap peal. " The interview with the President was arranged in advance, and at its conc.u sion Admiral Schley left the White House L in a satisfied state of mind. He had been given a full opportunity to present the case from his standpoint and to acquaint the President with many detalls. Whie Admiral Schley would not make any statement regarding the maitters ds. cussed, holding that any interview b tween a naval officer and his commander in chief should be regarded as confiden- tial, it is understood that he brought to the President’s attention many of the al leged injustices and discrepancies of the majority report of the court of inquiry. Admural Schley’s interview with President was the resuit of his determina- tion to exhaust every means in his power to overturn the judgment which has been rendered against him. His new appea will be different from that submitted to the department, bringing out some new facts which have an important bearing upon tke contrdversy. The fo lowing stat ment was given out by Admiral Scnley’s counsel at the conclusion of the confer- ence: “Admiral Schley has concluded, after mature and careful deliberation, to appeal from the majority decision of the court of inquiry to the President of the United States as commander in chief of the army and navy. The action having been dete; mined upon, nothing more can be divuiged at this time, the regulations of the navy being such that the nature of the pro- posed appeal cannct be revealed except by the President after the formal docu- ments have been filed with him.” Raynor stated that it will take some | time to prepare the appeal, and that it | will not be filed with the President until | after the return of Admiral Schley from | bis visit to Havana, about the 20th inst.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 7.—Several 'days' ago 13-year-old Gustave Wehr died at the | home of his parents in Mill Valley. Dr. E. L. Parramore, who attended him, mother, Mrs. C. Wehr, says that about four months ago the boy was inoculated with anti-toxin serum, and she believes | this was responsible for his death. The | little fellow was never well after the in- oculation. Dr. Parramore, when informed of these facts, said that typhoid fever was the immediate cause of death. ADVERTISEMENTS. Heart Disease Ninety Per Cemt of It Really Caused From Poor Digestion. Real organic heart trouble is incurable, but scarcely one case in a hundred is organic. The action of the heart and stomach are both controlied by the same great nerves, the sympa- thetic and pneumogastric, and When the stom- ach falls to properly digest the food and it lies in the stomach fermenting, gases are formed.| which distend the organ, causing pressure the heart and lungs, causing palpitation, regularity and shortness of breath. The danger from this condition is that the continued disturbance of the heart sooner or later may cause real organic heart trouble and | in_fect frequently does so. Furthermore, poor digestion makes the blood thin and watery and deficient in red corpuscles, | and this further irritates and weakens the heart. The most seneible thing to do for heart trouble s to insure the digestion and assimila- tion of the food This can be done by the regular use after of some safe, pleasant and effective di- gestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores und which contain the necessary diges- tive elements in a pleasant, convenient form. Thousands of people keep well and vigorous by keeping their digestion perfect by observing the rule of taking one or two of these tablets after each meal, or at least after each hearty meal. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain U, 8. P, pepsin, diastase from malt and other natural digestives which act only on the food, digesting it perfectly and preventing acidity, gases and the many diseased conditions which accompany & weak stomach. When Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are used you man know you are not taking Into the sys- tem any strong medicine or powerful drug, but simply the natural digestive elements which every weak stomach lacks. 80 widely known and popular have these tab- lets become that they are now sold by every Gruggist in the United States, Canada and Great n. on ir- The following | letter was received to-day from Admiral | ascribed his death to typhoid fever.

Supreme Court _Véill_» Deter- mine if Companies Can Combine. —_— WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Attorney Gen- eral Wallace B. Douglass of Minnesota filed to-day in the United States Supreme Court the bill of complaint in the ecdse of the State of Minnesota, complainant, against the Northern Securities Company, defendant. It is a long document, about 10,000 words, civering thirty-two pages of printed mat- ter. : . The bill first points out the direct in- terest the State has. in the proposed con- solidation. It'still owns more than 3,000,- 000 acres of public lands, valued at more | than §15,000,000, and traversed in part by the lines of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. If the merger is effected these roads will cease to build | spurs into these lands or compete for | their business. The value of the lands will not increase as it has under the spur . e State will lose in | the taxable value of its property. The lands will not be opened for years and de- velopment wiil be arrested. It is next set up that the State ex-| pends more than $700,000 annually in the | operation and maintenance of its educa- | tional, charitable and other public insti- tutions; that this is mostly raised by di- rect taxation; that the amount which can be raised and the successful maintenance | of these institytions for the benefit of its | citizens depend largely on the value of | the real and personal property vg!hln the | State, which in turn depends largely on | free rallroad competition. It has been the settled policy of the State to encourage ! rallroad building by grants of land, and | in this way over 10,500,000 acres have been | granted, nearly ali of which has been granted to_the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific and their subsidiary | lines. Provisions of Charters. The comvlaint alleges that the rates on | the fmmense shipments of wheat and other merchandise over the lines of the two com- panies Fave been lower than they will be un- der any arrangement which contemplates unity | of control. The bill theu recites the charters and_incornorations under which the Great Northern operates over 5u0 miles of road and cites the clause in its charter providing that its_affairs are to be conducted by a board of | directors, which is to do all things necessary | “and rot inconsistent with the constitution | and laws of the United States or the laws of | this territor® or this act’” It is further al- leged that James J. Hill holds a controlling ,000 of capital stock. The history and charters of the Northern Pa- cific; are similarly rated, special attention be- ing paid to the roads acquired and built with- in the State. By filing its articles of iIncor- poration in Wisconsin with the Minnesota au- thorities, the Northern Pacific became sub- ject to all the laws, regulations and provis- ions of Minpesota. The facts as to the present personnel of: the directory, the insolvency of the old company and its reorganization in 1893 and (h!nurthnse of the St. Paul and Duluth road in 1599 are recited at length. up that the lines of these two systems are It is set INOT {you afford natural help to Nature, !

R NUMBER of important changes have been made by Chief Witt- man, which will take effect ot { noon to-day. One of the most im- portant is the division of the Northern district into two districts, one to be known as the Northern police dis- trict and to have its headquarters at the Central police station, Hall of Justice, with Lieutenant Martin in charge, and the other to be called the Western po- at the City Hall station, with Lieutenant Birdsall in charge. Sergeant Helms wiil he acting lieutenant with Lieutenant Mar- tin, and Lieutenant Esola with Lieutenant Birdsall. Extra Work for Lieutenants. Lieutenant Esola has been property clerk since the, retirement of Captain Mo- ran, with the exception of a few months, and he will be succeeded by Officer W. E. Dinan, one of the most efficlent men in the department. His superiors all credit him with being an honest, conscientious officer, and all express gratification at his advancement.. He is a native son and has been more than ten years on the force. At times he was assigned to desk duty in the City Prison, for which he was emi- nently fitted. He will enter upon his new duties with the good wishes of every member of the department.

Thompson of Chicago, In Commissioner Snow’s house. Snow was approached some time ago by an alleged representative of the Hammond Company. ‘With the knowledge of the prosecuting attorney and Governor Bliss a meeting was arranged for last night. Snow, so it is said, agreed to accept as & bribe half a cent per pound for all the Hammond oleomargarine sold in Michi- gan, and in return was to see that there were no prosecutions of that company's agents in the State for violating the pure food laws. The Hammond man said their sales ran from 25,000 to 60,000 pounds per month. Thompson went to Commissioner Snow's house by appointment Monday evening, handing him a check for $120. With it in his hand Snow opened a door to another room as a signal to Sheriff Glenn Ship- mann, who stepped out. Let me intro- duce ' Sheriff Shipman: sald ~ Snow.

GIVE GREETING 10 DIPLOMATS Brilliant Levee Held by President and Mrs, Roosev:It, WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a reception at the White House to-night in honor of the diplomatic corps. It was the first formal evening levee of the season, and the first at which President and Mrs. Roosevelt have been the host and hostess. A full representation of the diplomatic corps made the affair notably brilliant. The floral decorations were handsome and elaborate. There was a delicate drap- ing of the immense chandeliers in' the east room with a wealth of smilax. The im- mense mirrors were banked with roses, carnations, hyacinths and lilles of the valley, while in the large recesses around the room there were jars of variegated crotons. The ceiling, pillars and other portions of the room were beautifully decorated. In the large red, blue and green parlors the floral display was sim- ple in character, being confined to a few growing plants and cut flowers, President and Mrs. Roosevelt received their guests in the blue room. Their en- trance was ‘announced by a fanfare of trumpets by members of the United States Engineer Corps Band, stationed m the long corridor. Assisting the President and Mrs. Roosevelt were Mrs, Root, Mrs. Knox, Mrs. Hitchcock and Miss, Wilson, The diplomatic corps, accompanied by the Jadies of the legations, assembled in Pauncefote, the dean of the co the receiving party, the Introductions bar ing made by Colonel Theodore Bingham. After them were received the higher of- ficials of the army and nax the mem- bers of the Supreme Court, Senators and Representatives in Congress and a lar nuber of resident society folk of Washe lnfi;& sident Roosevelt gave each visitor a hearty handclasp and a cordial welconte, while Mrs. Roosevelt, though refraining Vi = erally, was chnrm!:gly ‘mam"’fi,‘;‘;, She carried a large bunch of white and purple orchids. All the mem- bers of the diplomatic corps wore the full 1n!lfinla of thelr rank, which with the brilliant uniforms of the army and navy and the handsome toilets of the ladies made the scene a memorable one, The h'o';xll"l of the reception were from 9 to 11 o'clock.

Perkins, its former presi- dent and_present director, being a director in the Northern Securities Company. e ger: in tificate of incorporation of the latter, Ji~Jemaer Novemer 13,.1901, 1:quoted 1 Taking up the Northern Securities Company, it is set forth that it was organized by James J. Hill, W. P. Clough, J. Plerpont Morgan and “other’ assoclates to the oratorix unknown,”’ who, at the time, were eontinually in confer- ence over means by which the laws of Minne- sota might be successfully evaded or avolded, and that it was so organized solely for the pur- pose of effecting a consolidation of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. The owners of a large majority of the stock of the two systems had agreed beforehand to transfer to the mew company seventy-five per cent of the stock of the two systems on terms which are set forth in full and to retire the preferred stock of the Northern Pacific. Evasion of State Laws. _In furtherance of the plan to evade the laws of Minnesota it was agreed that, pending the delivery of the stock to the Northern Securitles Companys it rhould all be turned over to J. J. HIll, or be under his control. - The Northern Securities Company, it is charged, does not in- tend to purchase this stock, but simply to fssue its own stock in exchange therefor. For these unlawful purposes the company Is about to re- ceive, unless enjoined therefrom, all the capital stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pa- cific. This, it is claimed, is purt of a plan of Hill, Morgan and their associates whereby the two systems are to be consolidated and placed under the direction of one man or board of di- rectors, through the defendant company, and thus bring about and perpetuate a monopoly in railway traffic in Minnesota and a complete consolidation of the two systems. One man or board will thus, it is alleged, be enabled to fix all rates on lines of the Stafe, determine what trains shall be run, remove all competition and prevent the building of lines into new country or_into competitive territory. This agreement and the consummation there- of is claimed to be “in restraint of trade, agalnst public policy and vold.” = Under its terms the directory of the Northern Securitles Company may change its own rules or may delegate all its authority to an executive com- mittee. It is pointed out that HIll, the pres- ident, W. P. Clough, the vice president, and | E. T. Nichols, the treasurer and secretary of the company, were all, at the date of its or- ganization, officers of the Great Northern, and that a majority of its directors were also di- rectors of the Northern Pacific. It has been the policy of the State to prohibit consolidation of parallel or competing lines, and the law of 1874, in which such prohibifion is made, is quoted In full, as well as the amplifying act of 1881 and the anti-trust law of 1899, prohib- iting any combination in restraint of trade. Injury to the State. It is set up that the Northern Securities Company is a railroad corporation within the meaning cf the Minnesota laws and that its design is to evade and violate these laws in such way as to cause the State ‘‘irreparable injury.” * It is not the owner of any -other property or stock or securities and 1s engaged in no other business save that of management and control of the Great Northern and North- ern Pacific. Already, so It is alleged, J. J. Hill, as president of the Northern Securities Company, has changed, dictated and controlled the policy of the two constituent roads, and during December, 1901, it is alleged, the gen- eral managing officers of the Great Northern, acting under his direction, took charse engaged in managing a iarge portion of the Northern Pacific. It is alleged that it is the settled policy of New Jersey to allow the con- solidation of only such railroads as are or can be connected to form continuous lines, and not to permit the consolidation of parailel or com- reting lines. The oratrix, claiming to have Do other adequate remedy Or relief, except as prayed for In equity, asks that the defendant be required to show cause why it should not be. fipetullly enjolned and restrained: First—From voting at any meeting of the stockholders of the Great Northern and North- ern Pacific_the capital stock of these com. Panies and from attending in any manner' such meetings. Second—From alding, - advising, Interfering with or in any way participating in the man- agement of the two systems. Third—From permitting any of its officers, agents or servants from acting as representa- tive, director, officer or emplove, or exercising any control, management or direction over the same. Fourth—From making any arrangements or combinations having for their object such joint control. \ - Fifth—From holding, owning or controlling any of the stock of either company, the de- fendant company being required to reassign or retransfer all such stock to the person from Whom it _was received, taking in return its own stock, issued in exchange therefor, and meantime to be enjoined in all respects in re- lation to said stock as hereinbefore prayed for. Sixth—From recelving any more stock of e two companies in case it shall appear that fhe defendant company has not yet acquired a cun- trolling interest in either. Seventh—The oratrix prays permission to grlunt 1f necessary and bring amend the com; other partles fpr the purpose of giving force and effect to any decree of the court and asks the court to issue a subpena against the .de- fendant company and set a day for the hearing. 2 Complaint Is Submitted.

PORTO AIGANS WX BENEROLS Land Is Offered for United States Naval Station. SAN, JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 7.—The Porto Rican Legislative Assembly has adopted a joint resolution urging the establishment of a United States naval station in Porto Rican waters, and offer- ing to cede the possession of any prop- erty, bulldings and appurtenances belong- ing to the Government of Porto Rico that may be required and necessary for the construction of a naval station, leaving the adjustment of title thereto to subse- quen: legislation. It is recommended that all Porto Rican municipalities make simi- lar offers. The poli of the insular government has heretofore been to claim the lands, the titles of which were disputed by the federal and insular governments, hoping to sell them to the Navy Department. Porto Rico is now alarmed lest the naval station be located at St. Thomas, D. W.

He added: “We will take the papers.” Douglass handed in his bill of com- plaint and also a brief citing authorities. The Attorney General and his assistant counsel, G. P. Munn and G. ‘Wilson, then retired. The court took the motion under advisement, as is usual in such cases, and will give its decision in due course of time. The second document filed in the United States Supreme Court to-day by Attorney General Douglass of Minnesota, in addi- tion to citing many authorities bearing on the right to institute in this court, briefly relates the State’s contentions as to_the legal attitude of the railroad con- solidation, as follows: Briefly stated, the attempted consolidation of rallway lines 'and properties of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Rallway com- fes, which was defeated in the case of earsall versus The Great Northern Railway Company, is now remewed by the united ac- tion of the holders of a majority of the stock of each-of sald companies, by placing a ma- Jority of the capital stock of each of =aid Tailway companies in the Northern Securities Company, in worder that the last named com- pany may manage and control, through its president or executive committee, all of the railway lines and properties of each of sald railway companies. This action against the Northern Securities is brought tn Teach the instrument or means through and by which these two rallway companies are to be consolidated and involves an inquiry into the extent of the powers of the Northern Se- curities Company and the lawfulness of its act. stated in a_more direct form, the princi- pai question raised in this action is: Can a Corporation, organized under the laws of New Jersey, use its corporate powers so as to vio- late or overthrow the constitutional enactment of a sister State, thus accomplish in- directly that which this court has held can- not be done directly, especially in view of the fact that the New Jersey corporation was or- ganized for, the express purpose of accom- plishing this result? The further question s presented, viz.: Does not the consolidation of these railway com- anies, which own and operate all the railw: ines situate in the northern half of Minne- sota (except two short iron ore carriers) amount to a monovoly in railroad traffic, and is not such a monopoly the subject of challenge re- gardless of statutory prohibition? oot P The Best Fountain Pens. ‘We are selling agents for the “Water- man Ideal Fountain Pens”—$250 to $10 each, and sole agents for the ‘‘Marshall.”” the best $1 Foumtain Pen in the world.

NEGAUNEE, Mich., Jan. 7.—The most distressing accident in this county for years occurred at the Negaunee mine to- day at noon, when, by a cave-in, the lives of probably seventeen miners are thought to have been lost. The cave-in was at the bottom of the old shaft. Had it occurred half an hour sooner about 150 men would have been killed, The names of the dead, so far as known, are: WILLIAM WILLIAMS, married. JOHN SULLIVAN, single. JOHN PASCOE, single. JOHN PEARCE, married. JACOB HUNLALLA, married. Thus far but one body has been takem out, that of Hunlalla, and one man was rescued alive. It is thought the other bodies cannot be reached within twenty- four hours. The miner rescued is Dom- inico Basso, an Italian. Basso describes the disaster in the mine as follows: ‘“We were seated -around the pump at the bottom of the shaft, when, without any warning, thousands of tons of ore came down. I remembered no more un- til I heard the sound of picks and shovels in the hands of the rescuers and their shouts. I was in total darkness, and my feelings cannot be described. What seemed ages to me were but minutes. When the rescuers found me, I was sev- enty-five feet from the place where [ had been sitting and found myself in a drift. How I got there is a mystery, but can only be accounted for by the concussion caused by the wind.” The Negaunee mine is one of the mest unlucky properties in the Lake Superior district. Much trouble in sinking and drifting has resulted from surplus water and quicksands. It was at this mine that $1,000000 was recently expended to sink a shaft to the ledge. . Ten Men Are Indicted. ST.
