Young Democrats Should

SO SAY THE WISER HEADS
IeIons AttncUs Upon the Army in
the Philippines, the Elder Tte
jfurd ns BonmcraiiKH Danger
ous to the Tarty.
In venting their spleen upon the
Army, the yownger Democrats of the
Senate Philippine committee have got
their party into a plight. The older
Senators fel they have been led astray
and are dlepoeed to call a halt. They
conceive a wise difference between at
tacks or the Army an4 attacks on the
poMcy of holding the Philippines.
. "WASHINGTON. May 5. The new pol
icy inaugurated by the Republican Sen
at r& is bound to have good effect. The
speeches of Spooner on Saturday, and of
X.odge todey, are such that the Republi
cans can use upon the stump as answers
to any speech which the Domocrats may
make as to the policy of the Government
or the dignity of the Army in the Phil
ippines. The Democratic members of the Phil
ippine committee are all young men or
Hew men in Congress, and the old Sen
ators have begun to see into what a
complete plight the young men are lead
ing them, by making vicious attacks up
on the Army. Already many of the old
er Senators- on the Democratic side have
begun to call a halt. They think It is
all right to state their objections to the
retention of the Philippines, and to point
out their reasons why they do not want
permanently to occupy the islands. At
the same time they fully understand that
the country will not back up any party
attack upon the Army as a whole, sim
ply because individual Instances of
atroslty have been committed.
The verdict ot these Democratic Sen
ators on the result of these two speeches
Is that the young men have been "sound
lj smacked," and have gone much fur
ther than was necessary. It is expected
that the young Democrats, who fancy
they are leaders will try to continue the
debate, but they are not to have the en
couragement of the older heads, who be
ll ve that the attempts to make capital
on the questions that have been raised
-w III prove reactionary when carried to
trt denunciation of men who are in the
1 nted States uniform. The men of the
Rawlinrf, Patterson, Dubois, Culberson,
Carmack stripe have announced that they
will prolong debate indefinitely on this
bill, but they llnd they have got to keep
it up themselves, as their colleagues do
not approve of the methods they are pur
suing. IDE IS IXEASV.

7.1aii of Foster.
WASHINGTON. May 5. B, D. Crocker
and Tfiomas IirUronts. of Walla' Wallar
Thomas H. Cavunaugh. formerly of
Olympia, and Charles Bedford, of Ta
coma, called at the WhiteHouse today in
regard to Federal appointments in Wash
ington. This delegation, who warmly
support Senator Foster, made a good Im
pression, fit pointed out not only the
worthiness and competency of the men
indorsed by Senator Foster, but showed
the harm that would result to the party
in the state if the Senator was disre
garded in these important Instances. It
represented that he was well supported
ot home.
While ill were reticent about discussing
anj thing that took place at the White
21ouse, they seemed gratified at their re
ception. It is understood that these gen
tlemen will make their statements be
fore the Senate committee when the Ide
case comes MP. since tile President is will
ing, as long as Ide'? nomination has been
made, that the committee shall hear
both sides, especially as the report of the
special agent has not yet been received,
and a mobt of the parties interested are
cow here and can make their statements
In person.
Senator Foster did not return from Old
Point until late this afternoon, hence did
not accompany the delegation to the
White House, irf fact, he has taken the
position of not crowding in these mat
ters, merely desiring that a fair hearing
ehall be given, for he believes that the
merits of the case show that there is
right in his position -and that his fellow
Bemtors will look upon it that way.
A great deal of interest is manifested
in the Washington situation. The Star
tonight has quite a long story in regard
to it, and attempts to give the situation,
but, not fully understanding the condi
tions, inaccuracies are presented. The
appearance on the scene of these men.
Tho are all friends and supporters of
Senator Foster, has given, Ido and his
backer a good deal of concern.
Look Good for Frye.
It seems almost certain now that Frye
will be selected for United States Attor-
ney, but probably no nomination will be
made until the disposition of the Ide
case.
IX FAVOR OF WAR. VETERANS.'
Roosevelt llenrs Their Plea, from
Representative Tonne.
WASHINGTON. May 5.-Representative
Tongue to-day called on the President to
enlist his efforts in behalf of the Indian
war pension bill. President Roosevelt ex
pressed great sympathy for these veter
ans, ana took considerable interest in
the bill, saying he should be glad to do
whatever he could to secure its passage.
H? asked Mr. Tongue to say to Chair
man Loudenslager and Speaker Hender
son that he would be glad to have a talk
with them on the subject.
The fact that the President has taken
an active Interest in the bill lends a new
aspect to the situation and gives substan
tial reason for hope. In an interview to
ri .iy. Mr. Tongue reminded the President
cf the great good the pioneers had done
for the country.. He also recalled the fact
that there was somo feeling that as these
war veterans had already received WO
acres of land from the Government In
recognition of their services, the Govern
ment -was no longer obligated to them.
Mr. Tongue insisted that the obliga
tion was the other way; that, instead of
the Government's presenting 640 acres to
the Oregon settlers, the Oregon settlers
had presented the entire Northwest, north
of California and west of the Rockies, to
the United States. These people had
faced the Indians, settled and occupied
this vast territory, and after maintaining
their title, presented It to the United
States. The President acknowledged the
contention, saying it entirely accorded
with his own views. He believed the set
tlers were not Indebted to the Govern
ment, but the Government was indebted
to the settlers.
The President said further that he
should incorporate that view In his sec
ond volume of his "Winning of the West"
when he took up and completed that work.
ALL EYES OX OREGOX.
Tills State Is Relied Upon for n Re
publican Victory.
WASHINGTON, May 5. Various mem
bers of the House of Representatives
have, taken a decided interest in the Ore
gon campaign, and a number of men,
who are known to be good campaign
speakers, have expressed their regret to
Representative Tongue that the length of
the session prevents them going to his
State for the purpose of making a canvass.
Rather an unusual condition prevails, as
half the Republicans seem tp regard
that there is no possible danger in Ore
gon, and whenever they talk of the sit
uation they express the conviction that,
as usual, Oregon will start the campaign
right by a victory, which has often
caused cheers in National conventions
and hope in the campaigns.
It Is well understood that anything like
Democratic success, or only a partial Re
publican victory will be taken by the
Democrats as an indorsement of their
anti-expansion views and will be herald
ed tnroushout the entire country as an
indorsement of the position they have
taken on the Philippines.
Representative Tongue has received a
letter from Representative Sibley, of
Pennsylvania, in which he expressed his
regret that he cannot take part in the
campaign, and points out the necessity
for Republican victory.
EVAXS WILL STAY.
Thnt Is, So Lonpr as He Is Kept From
Being: Conxnl-Gcneral.
WASHINGTON. May 5. Egged on by
the leader of the Grand Army, who seems
to have been in the hands of the pension
attorneys, Burton, of Kansas, and some
few others are talking about opposing
H. Clay Evans for Consul-General to
London, because they are dissatisfied
with his course as Pension Commissioner.
The opposition will not continue very
long, as Evans will remain as Pension
Commissioner until he Is confirmed as
Consul-General. That course has long ago
been determined by the President, and
while Senator Burton Is holding up Ev
ans he will also be holding up the man
whom the Grand Army evidently want
for Pension Commissioner. It is not be
lieved that Evans will have any great
difficulty in securing his new office.
Honsc Adjourns in Honor of Dead.
WASHINGTON, May 5. Two desks
were draped in black and covered with
flowers when the House met to-day. One
was the old familiar place occupied by
Representative Amos J. Cummlngs,
whose public funeral was held in the
House yesterday, and the other was that
of Representative Peter J. Otey, of Vir
ginia, whose" death occurred at Lynch
burg yesterday. Dr. Couden, the chap
lain, in his invocation dwelt upon the
double affliction that had come upon the
House, and prayed for the family and
friends of Mr. Otey. The House imme
diately adjourned as a mark of respect
to the dead.
3Iore "Wntcr-Cure Testimony.
WASHINGTON. May 5. The Senate
Philippine Committee to-day heard JDan
lel J. Evans, formerly a private in the
Twelfth Infantry, who testified to seeing
the water-cure administered to two In
surgents In Northern. Luzon, to compel
them to give Information concerning con
cealed arms. The information was ob
tained. He said he saw Private Frank
Koehler, of the regiment, strike a water
cure victim in the stomach 40 times.
Aside from the water-cure the prisoners
were treated humanely by the United
States soldiers. The committee decided
to summon Koehler and adjourned until
to-morrow.
Aprrec on Omnibus Claims BUI.
WASHINGTON. May 5. The conferees
of the two houses on the omnibus claims
bill reached an agreement today. The bill,
as decided upon, parries a total appro
priation of S2.664.S32, or $447,505 less than
the amount carried by the bill as it
passed the Senate. This reduction, how
ever, is more apparent than real, as $462,000
of it is compromised In the claim made
by the State of Nevada for expenses In
curred In the War of the Rebellion, and
which was referred by the terms of the
agreement to the Treasury Department
for settlement.
Copy of Gardener's Charge.
WASHINGTON, May 5. Secretary Root

ANSWER OF THE MERGER
AGAIX DEXIES THAT IT SEEKS TO
KILL COMPETITION.
Gntsrrovrth of Attempt -to Accommo
date Large Pacific Commerce
Peace bnt for Harrlman.
ST. PAUL. May 5. "An enterprise In
aid of a great competitive Interstate and
international commerce" Is the description
of the Northern Securities Company given
In the answer filed by the attorneys for
that corporation in the suit brought by
Attorney-General Knox on behalf of the
United States to enjoin the so-called mer
ger of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern Railways. This answer was
tiled late this afternoon, in the United
States Circuit Court in this city, and at
the same time Individual answers were
filed by James J- Hill. W. P. Clouzh, D.
Willis James, John S. Kennedy, George
F. Baker and the Great Northern Rail
way, and by J. P. Morgan, Robert Bacon,
Daniel S. Lamont and the Northern Pa
cific Railway. The various papers follow
the same lines.
The answer of the Northern Securities
Company Is divided Into two parts. The
first is largely a denial of the petition
respecting any charge of conspiracy, and
respecting the purposes of the organiza
tion of the Securities Company. Instead
of owning a majority of the shares of the
Great Northern or Northern Pacific Com
panies, it is stated that those who are
interested In the -organization company
do not own within $26,000,000 of a majority
of the Great Northern shares, and little
more than one-quarter of the Northern
W. E. Comnn, vrho vrlll succeed R. B.
Miller as general freight and pas
senger agent of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad.
I
Pacific. It Is stated that the Securities
Company has acquired by transfer on the
Great Northern books about five-twelfths
of that company's stock, has negotiated
for about four-twelfths of the total of
such stock, which has not been trans
ferred, and as to which it has at present
no voting power, and has paid on account
of Great Northern and Northern Pacific
shares purchased over $10,000,000 in cash;
that many stockholders have not sold, and
may not sell shares, and that neither
company, by any act or suggestion, has
solicited shareholders to sell to the Secur
ities Company.
Purchase of Burlington.
In the second part of the answer the
purchase of the Chicago, Burlington &
Qulncy xtallway Company is taken up. the
reasons for such purpose having been, It
is alleged, erroneously stated In the pe
tition. Attention is called to the sparsely
settled or unsettled nature of the country
through, which the Great Northern lines
pass, the abundance of raw materials to
be hauled at a low mileage rate; the great
timber wealth in the Pacific Northwest,
and the necessity of a return load for the
cars taking tills timber to the prarle
states; the development of trade with
Eastern Asia as a means of securing such
return loads, and the establishment of a
connecting steamship line for that pur
pose. It Is stated that in the interstate and
International commerce which the Great
Northern Company has thus built up. It
competes both in this country and on the
ocean with other transcontinental lines,
including the Canadian Pacific, and at
the Oriental ports it competes for the
commerce of the world. Its rates are and
must be made In competition with the
rates of ocean carriers by way of the
Suez Canal. The policy thus followed by
the Great Northern Company In building
up an International, and thereby an inter
state, commerce has been followed by the
Northern Pacific Company since Its reor
ganization In 1S96. It is said that both
roads were placed at a disadvantage with
other transcontinental roads, as well as
with European competitors, by the want
of sufficient direct connection with the
territory offering the best markets for the
products of the country along their lines,
and with the places of production and
great centers of distribution from which
their traffic must be supplied. The lines
of the Burlington, better than those of
any other company, fulfilled the require
ments of both roaos In respect to markets
for e'astbound and freight for westbound
traffic The answer recites these various
markets and their products and says:
"The price paid for said Burlington stock
was lower per mile of main track cov
ered by the stock than that for which the
stock of any other large and well-established
system in the same general terri
tory could then have been bought. The
purchase of the Burlington stock by the
Northern Pacific t.nd Great Northern
Companies in equal parts served each
company as well as If it were the sole
owner of such stock, while such purchase
might have been beyond the financial
means of either company by Itself. The
Great Northern and i Northern Pacific
Companies, therefore, each purchased an
equal amount of shares of the Burlington
stock as the -best means, and for the sole
purpose of reaching the best markets In
the territory along their lines and of se
curing connections which would furnish
the largest amount of traffic for their re
spective roads, increase the trade and In
terchange of commodities between the re
gions traversed by the Burlington lines
and their connections, and the regions
traversed or reached by the Great North
ern or Northern Pacific lines, or by their
connecting lines of shipping on the Pa
cific Coast."
It Is alleged that such Interchange of
traffic Is Indispensable to the maintenance
cf their business, and to the development
of the country served, and that "In such
purchases there was no proposition to
lessen any competing of the Burlington
lines with those of either of the purchas
ers, for thev are not competitive, or to
lessen any competition between the pur
chasers"; and, further, 'the purchase of
the Burlington stock was not made In
view of the formation of this defendant,
but solely from the motives and with the
purposes already stated."
The history of the formation of the
holding company Is given very fully, the
project having its inception many yeara
prior to the decision of the Supreme Court
In the Pearsall case, which has been al
leged to be the reason for the organiza
tion of the holding company. The large
shareholders In the Great Northern and Its
predecessor, the St. Paul. Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railroad Company, as far back
as 1S93 began to discuss together what'
J would be the effect upon the company's
policy should their holdings become scat
tered, and by what means their holdings
could be kept together, so as to secure
the continuance of such policy in the
management of the company. The Idea of
a holding company resulted, but no defi
nite agreement was made. These same
Great Northern shareholders, from time
to time, after the reorganization of the
Northern Pacific, in 1S96, had made large
purchases of Northern Pacific shares Indi
vidually, without any concerted action,
and solely as investments. About May 1,
1S01, their aggregated holdings of North
ern Pacific common stock amounted to
nearly $20,000,000 of the $50,000,000 of com
mon stock of the company, which also
had $75,000,000 of preferred stock. At that
time J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. held about
$6,000,000 of the common stock. In the Fall
of 1900 Mr. Hill and these Great Northern
shareholders discussed the question of
putting tnelr Great Northern stock in the
proposed holding company, as well as the
question of giving the same right to the
other Great Northern stockholders. The
unswer then continues:
Xo Alliance Contemplated.
"At the time of the purchase of the
Burlington shares It was not contemplated
by cither the purchasing company or its
shareholders that any alliance between
the purchaser companies or among their
shareholders was needed to preeerve to
each company Its fair share of the advan
tages secured by the purchase. It was
thought that the manifest interest of each
company rendered any further guaranty or
security needless. But. pending or just
after the conclusion of the negotiations
for the Burlington stock, parties acting
In the Interest of the Union Pacific Rail
way system did buy Northern Pacific
shares, both common and preferred, to
the amount of about $78,000,000, being a
clear majority of the entire capital stock
of that company. The apparent Intent of
such purchase was to defeat, and. If suc
cessful, it would have defeated, the carry
ing out of the purposes for Which the
Burlington shares had been bought by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific and
the development of the Interstate and in
ternational commerce of the country, and
would have subordinated the policy of
each road to an Interest adverse to both
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Companies, and to the' public served by
their lines."
Next are recited the conferences with J.
Pierpont Morgan over the proposed hold
ing company as a means of protecting
all interests, and It Is added i
"At this time it was not expected by any
of the persons concerned that any North
ern Pacific sharer, except the eaid $40 000,
000 (being the combined Morgan-Hill inter
est) was being acquired by the proposed
holding company. The organization of
such company was not dependent upon
any agreement that it should -acquire a
majority of the shares of either defendant
railroad company. It would have been or
ganized if the Burlington purchase had not
been made and if its promoters had no
other shares to transfer to it than the
$34,000,000 of Great Northern stock and
the $20,000,000 of Northern Pacific stock
held by them on May 1. 1901. It was not
known that all or how many of the share
holders of either of the railway companies
would be likely to transfer their shares to
this defendant when formed. After its or
ganization .this defendant bought and still
holds $150,000,000 of the stock of the North
ern Pacific Railway Company, and It has
also purchased and negotiated for the pur
chase of the stock of the Great Northern
Railway Company as hereinbefore
stated."
It is denied specifically and generally
that anj stock thus secured Is to be held
or used ."for the purpose of combining,
consolidating or placing them under one
common management or control, the rail
ways of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Companies or the business
thereof for the purpose of monopolizing
or restraining competition between the
said railway companies; or for any other
purpose than the election by each of said
railway companies of a competent and
distinct board of directors, able and In
tending to manage each of them Independ--
entiy or the other, and for the benefit of
tbelr shareholders and of the public." It
is said that every share of stock Issued Is
Issued In good faith for value; receive,,
and In acordance with law; that no agree
ment limiting or controlling the Individual
shareholder In voting his stock has been
.signed or required, and that "the owners
and holders of stock of this defendant
are more than 1300 In number, arid the
ownership of stock Is changed from day to
day by sales and transfers In the usual
course of dealing. The said persons who
formed or were otherwise concerned in the
formation of this defendant corooration
have never, all together, held, owned or
otherwise contrdlled an amount of stock
of the said company equal to so much
as one-third of the whole amount thereof
now outstanding."
Not Scheme to Evade Antl-Trast Law.
It Is explained that the capital was
fixed so as to Include all the stock of
the two companies, if Its holders so de
sired, but it is said that "this defendant
was not formed as a scheme or a device
to evade the act of Congress known as
the 'anti-trust act,' or any other law
whatever, but solely for the purposes
hereinbefore stated. It is further stated
that the Securities Company was not
formed for the purpose of restricting
trade, or muzzling competition between
the railway companies, nor would such
results follow from its organization, for,
in point of fact, since the Securities Com
pany was formed, both- lines' have volun
tarily so reduced rates as to decrease
their earnings by more than $1,000,000 an
nually. It is alleged vthat for all inter
state commerce, the rates are fixed by
Joint tariffs with connecting lines, and it
is stated further that "in respect to all
such traffic, neither of the defendant
companies has ever had or ever can have
any independent rate-making power, or
control of traffic or rates.
AH joint tariffs with other companies,
to or from points common to the lines
of the defendant railway1 companies have
always been, and necessarily must be,
the same whether the traffic Is carried
by one or the other of said companies.
The total ot all lOther Interstate traffic
between common points on the two roads,
which Is not competitive, both, as to rates
and quality of service with other carriers
having equal rate-making power with
them. Is less than 2 per cent, of the total
Interstate traffic of the two companies.
Is Hot a Railway Company.
It is maintained that the sale and
transfer of property, whether shares of
stock or otherwise, has never been and
cannot be adjudged a violation of the
so-called anti-trust act. The Securities
Company is not a railway company, and
has no power to operate railways or con
trol rates or restrain traffic. The answer
continues:
"So far from intending to violate any
provision of said act of Congress, the
persons who were concerned in organ
izing this defendant corporation, and
those who have sold their shares to it.
had every reason to believe that such
sales were cot In any way In con
travention of that act. In common with
the general public, they were aware that
during the Jl years since the passage of
that act, in many Instances, the stock
of a competing railway, company has been
acquired by its competitor, or the share
holders thereof, such acquisition Includ
ing many of the principal railways doing
business throughout the country. This
has been done without objection of any
branch of the Government of the United
States, and has Invariably proved bene
ficial to the railway companies concerned
and to the public, and those making' sales
of stock to this defendant had no reason
to believe that such sales were open to
any objection or question whatsoever."
The purpose of the organization Is re
viewed briefly, and the answer continues:
"All acts done In relation to the organ
ization of this defendant, and in the con
duct of its business, have been expressly
authorized by law, and have had no effect
whatever to restrain trade or commerce
among the several states or with foreign
nations. If the lawful transactions should
hereafter have any effect to restrain
trade or commerce among the several
states, or wlth foreign nations, which Is
hereby denied,' that effect would be merely-
indirect,, remote, .incidental, and col-
