Siipmiiu Court DccIdt'H FamoiiH Case. Riilnajs Ami milile to And Trut Laws Four Justices PIs srnting. Wanliinxton, Msrrli M. In the U. H. supreme court today an opinion was delivered In the merger case of tlie Nuriliern rVcunties Company vs. the United Slates In favor of (he govern insnt'i conlentinn that tint merger was illegal. 1 li opinion of the court haiid'-d down by Justice Harlan, ami it uplmld the deeree of the circuit court for Him IliKtrli t of Minnesota in every par ticular. hour of the justice dissented Imm the flv cuiisiitutiiiK the nisjority. Th di vision in tl court was due to a differ mii'k of opinion as to the rmlil of lederal control of stale corpora' ions. The ma jority opinion proceeded on the theory that conurea has a right, under the con stitution, tocontrol interstatN coiniiierce, no matter by whom conducted, while , the minority or dissenting opinion s based on the theory that in the present casM the eflort to leiiulate the ownership is not interstate trallic. Theie Mas no surprise manifested ft hen, promptlv on the assembling of iIih court, Justice Ilarlan legn the delivery of the opinion. The led that he had been selected lor the presentation of the dis unienl at once led most people lo conclude the decision would uphold the hherman and trust act, and suaUiu the contention, of the governinent. The justice reail his opinion from a priti'ed copy, which covered 'M pages, ami con sinned about an hour and a quarter in lis delivery. Very soon after Juxtice Harlan had concluded his preoentatiun ol the ca-e it became evident that the court hml di vided on the ijoWtioiis at issue, and as other opinions were announced It devel oped that there nut only bad been a very close shave forttie government, but that one of the memlicrs of the court whocast his vote with the majoriiy entertained opinions o his own, which fact rendered the decision sll the more marked and interesting. This was Justice Brewer, who, while he concurred in the decision, announced in an indeendeiit opinion Ins view that previous anti trust decis ion, had been more sweeping than was juMllied. Four of the nine justices dissented out right. These were Chief Justice Fuller . ml Justices White, Veckhain and Holmes. The opinions of Justice Har lan and White were long, while those of Justices Brewer and llolm-s were com paratively brief. All told, the court consumed Vi hour in disusing of the case. The fact was noted by several persons that the argument in the case was begun Iei emlier 14, just three months previous to tlie decision. The case decided today was brought by the L'nited States against the North ern Securities Company, a corporation, of New Jersey; the Ureal Northern Kail road Company, a corporatien of Minne sota; tlie Northern 1'acilic Railway Com panv, a corporation, of Wisconsin; Jas. J. liill, a citizen of Minnesota, and Wil liam 1. Clough, I). Willis Ja:ues, John S. Kennedy, J. l'ierpont Morgan, Rub e t Ilucon, lieorge F. linker and Daniel Lamont, citizens of New York. lis general object was lo enforce, as against the defendants, the provisions of the statute ol July 2, lS'JO, conimoniy known as the anti-trust act, and entitled "An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopo lies." Christopher, Junior, Tonight. Manager Shivery, cf the Oregon City Opera House, takes pleasure in announc ing that he has secuaed a special engage ment of two nights, March lsth and UUh, the greatest popular-priced, theatrical organization that ever toured the West, the celebrated all-star Stock Company, supporting.

One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was entirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me that I ran donn in weight from 14S to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to do avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cored me entirely of the cough, strength ened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength. Sold by Geo. A. Harding.

Wki Hai Wei, March 10 (By Defor rest wireless telegraph from steamer llairniin at sea, en route to Chiriarripho ) The extensive forward movement on the part of the Japanese army may he expected to tie begun at once. The Haimun has encountered very little ice, and in skirting the coast line, It is cleur they are nearly clear, and that nothing now stand In the way of Jap anese transport fleets proceeding to the landing place felecteo in the northern pari of Core. The fact that the Japanese have re called all correspondent from tbe head quarter of the army at Ping Yang also indicates an Important movement is con templated. The Japanese commanding General, Baron Hasegawa, who, with the Imperial Guard, will take the lead in the movement against the Russian north of the Ysltl river, i strongly op posed to permitting any correspondent! to accomnany hi column until after the first land ba'tle has been fought, and it is known he ha succeeded in winning over to his way of thinking the member of the stair. General Hasegawa ws chief aid of Field Marshal Oyama during the opera tion which resulted in the capture of Fort Arthur by the Japanese in 18P4, and ia exiierted to strike quickly and effectively ag.tir.ftt the Russian fortifies tion which command the passsge of the Yalu. His advance column consist of four regiment ol infantry, three squad rons of cavalry, an artillery force of 3fil guns, a regiment of engineers and 12 companies of artillerv. The advance! will be supported by the entire twelfth Division ol the Japanese army, com manded by Major-General Inouye. Nic CnwAso, March 14. After the re moval of the battleship Retviisin, four Russian steamers, the Harbin, the Hailar, the Ningnnta and the Sungari, were anchored at the mouth of the en trance of Port Arthur in proper portions and sunk, leaving only a small channel available, Vice Admiral MakarofT having previously ordered the whole fleet to re main outside with steam up, economy in coal being unnecessary. This dispatch is "on Russian informa tion," and is of the first importance, con firming the idea that Vice-Admiral Ma karotT will adopt the offensive and make a desfierate ellort to tring together Rus sia's scattered naval lorcea, or endeavor to inflict damage upon the Japanese navy. The sinking of the ship was to pre vent the ingres of Japanese torpedo boat destroyers, as was done at Wei Hai Wei dur ng the Chino Japanese War. I.AIIF.I.IXf THE 1IIU MAP.
