REAT SPECIALS ON DESIRABLE THANKSGIVING fTOOnC THDOITr-HHTTT OTTO BTtfTrP'R cvrvRT? JUST WHAT MINNESOTA SAYS X3 Company Organized for Express Pur pose of Combining Parallel Rall roadtc to Prevent Competition, Which Law Says Is "Wrong:. KEW YORK. Nov. 20. John S. Ken nedy, a director of the Northern Securities Company, gave testimony at the hearing of the case of Minnesota against the com pany today. During the recess, after Mr. Kennedy had testified. Magnus D. Munn, counsel for the State o Minnesota, "Mr. Kennedy practically admitted that the Northern Securities Company was oc- (' ganized for the express purpose of com bining the parallel railroads to prevent competition. That Is all we charge the company with and that is what the laws of Minnesota say is illegal." Mr. Kennedy began his testimony today by saying he presumed he and J. J. -Hill spoke of the Northern Securities Company in a talk they had when Mr. Kill re turned from Europe in July, 190L "You decided to turn all of. your inter ests to the holding company?" asked Mr. Munn. "Something was said to that effect at a meeting that was held." Mr. Kennedy said he and most of the other stockholders gave their proxies to Mr. Hill. "Wasn't it understood that the holding company was- to get enough stock of each of the railway companies to make sure that there would never be any combina tion against the Great Northern?" asked Mr. Munn. "That's what I understood." "Did you undenstand that the stock holders of the holding company would ob tain enough to control the policies of both companies?" asked Mr. Munn. "I understood," Mr. Kennedy replied, "that the Northern Securities stockhold ers would own enough stock in the rail way companies to elect officers and di rectors of both railroads." "That is all we wanted, Mr. Kennedy," said Mr. Munn, "much obliged to you." W. P. Clough, general counsel for the Northern Securities Company, testified that at the meeting of the Great Northern directors in October (30,771 shares of Great Northern wa3 recorded as voted. Of that number 132,754 stood in the name of the various holders and 45S.017 as holdings of trustees for the Northern Securities Com pany. None was voted In the name of the Securities Company. Adjournment was taken until tomorrow. INCREASE OF FREIGHT RATES. Advance Betiveen Clilcnpro and Xcvr York To Sleet - Vases. NEW YORK, Nov.. 20. At a meeting of executive officials of central freight lines, the trunk lines and Southern roads held t the .Trunk Una Association's head quarters in this city., rates- In the terri tory controlled by the association have been generally advanced, says tho Journal of Commerce. The meeting was called primarily to discuss export rales, particu larly those on Southern line?, from St. Louis territory, but resolved Itself into a conference to advance rates. . The In crease is in line with action usually taken at the close of navigation. It la learned on 'high authority that an iucrease of 2y cents per 100 pounds, Chicago-New York basis, on grain and grain products was decided upon. A corre opondlng advance In rates on glucose, glu cose syrup, corn syrup, etc, was made. The rate on dressed beef was lncreaoed 5 cents a 100, both domestic and export, and 5 cents a 100 also on provisions. The present rates on grain products from Chicago to New York are: Grain, export, 13& cents; grain, domestic, 17 cents; grain products, export, 15 cents; domestic. 17 cents. The present rates on dressed beef and provisions, both export and domestic, arc 40 cents and 25 cents, respectively. The new rates will take effect on December S. As to the export rate etuatlon on South em lines, it was alleged that some of the roads had been shading their rates from St, Louis territory In favor of Southern as against Northern points, bringing them below the differential. A. satisfactory un derstanding was reached in this matter as la indicated by the agreement among the representative lines to advance rates. One of those present at the meeting Is quoted as having said: "In former seasons, when there was con siderable rate cutting and the rate situ ation generally was demoralized, increases decided upon brought the rates up to per haps not more than the normal tariff. The advance now agreed upon will, in view of the present favorable conditions, be a real increase." One of the reasons given for this action was the general advance in wages to employes-which is being granted by various railroads. It was also pointed outthat if there ever was need of cutting rates to secure business there certainly is no ne cessity for such action now. MANHATTAN CHANGES HANDS.

Speaks of Our Failure to Get Danish Islands, Trade With France, Panama Canal, Literature. , PARIS, Nov. 20. Ambassador Jusserand arrived here yesterday evening from Co penhagen, on his first visit to Paris since his appointment to the Washington post. He comes now to confer with Foreign Minister Delcasse, In order to receive In structions and to arrange for his de parture for Washington, where he ex pects to arrive early in the new year. At his apartments in the Avenue Marceau he received the representative of the As sociated Press and talked interestingly on American men and American affairs. "Although I have never lived in the United States," said the Ambassador, "I feel fairly well acquainted with the coun- i try. as my diplomatic life has brought 1 lcan authors, as his father's library con me into contact with many Americans ta,"ed the works of Cooper and Haw and I have formed many lasting Amer- I tnorne along with the French classics, lean friendships." an his later meeting with American au- He recalled that while secretary of the ! thors save hIm a Personal interest in, the French Embassv in London he formed ''sub-Ject- He rclated that on one occa the acquaintance of former American ' sIon when d'nlne with Bret Harte. at Ministers to London LowpII.

M.

The Ambassador referred to the grow ing Importance of America in the world's affairs, and said It was noticeable that throughout Europe the position of Amer ica as a new world' power was every- wnere recognized. He thought that this imnosed serious trials and rpsnnnnihiii, ties on the country, and pointed out that while the commercial development of the United States was marvelous. Its Intel-1 lectual progress was keeping pace with its material advancement. In this con nection, the Ambassador cited the growth of American universities and related a personal incident. He had recently received, he said, from a comparatively obscure college in the Interior of the United States a most scholarly criticism on his theory regard ing the origin of the manuscripts of "The Vision of Piers Plowman." Danish West Indies Case. The correspondent asked M. Jusserand, who was at Copenhagen "during the dis cussion of the proposed sale of the Dan ish West Indies to the United States, the cause of the failure to effect a sale. He said that the sentiment against any fur ther reduction of the Danish dominion operated strongly against the project, al though It was at first supposed that a universal desire for the sale existed. The failure brought Its compensations, as the discussion disclosed clearly that the Dan ish West Indies would not go to any other power than the United States, which, with the Island of Porto Rico, now possesses harbors superior to those In the British Island of St. Vincent and In the islands of the Danish West Indies. The failure was also to some extent an evi dence of personal devotion to the King, who shared in the sentiment against part ing with the country's ancient posses sions. The Ambassador paid a high tribute to the noble qualities of the King, and said that, although he was an old man, he rode out on horseback dally unattended, Tomofffow, Saturday, Great Coat Special $15.00 and $20.00 Coats fo $9.85 This is our season's banner offering in ladies' Coats.

Jusserand said there -were happily jio serious Issues between the two countries at this present time, owing to the cordiality between them. Ho intended to devote his careful attention to the reciprocity treaty, which was still pending, and said he saw no reason why the two countries should not develop their mutual trade by a more liberal exchange of the products which each produced exclusively. He cited American machinery, raw cotton and pe troleum as articles having no French competition, which could form a basis of exchange against those French articles which had no competition in the United States. Concerning the Panama Canal, the Am bassador said the question had no offi cial status, but that he would continue the friendly efforts of M. Cambon on be half of the company. He added that the most powerful advocates for the Panama route were the volcanoes of Guatemala an'd Nicaragua, which kept speaking In tor-os of thunder in favor of Panama. Knows American Literature. As M. Jusserand has written several books in English, the correspondent asked his opinion of American literature. He said he had been brought up with Amer- Ican author expressed regret that he was unrecognized In France. M. Jusserand Camp his personal acquaintance with Bret Harto's work. Bret Harte repaid the compliment by saying that when he I was a struggling clerk In California he I was impressed by the climatic descriptive great French author. The Ambassador spoke of the pleasure with which he had read President Roose velt's strenuous philosophy and his ranch tales. These works were brought to his attention during a sojourn at the royal palace near Copenhagen, where Princess Marie was found perusing the Roosevelt books and declared them to be most de lightful. M. Jusserand desired to see the new French Embassy erected In AVashlngton by the time of the St. Louis exposition, an7. he- has already conferred with the officials in charge of the construction of tne buildings. It was at first believed tnaL no appropriation would be made, ow,n:j to me complications regarding me new French Embassy In Vienna, but the Chamber Is now so cordial In, its feelings toward America that there is little doubt that the appropriation will be granted. It is expected that the sum to be appro priated will be ?600,000, which the Am bassador thinks will be sufficient to erect a magnificent structure typical of French art and taste.

Nine Men in Bcnkhonsc Have Narrow Escape Origin of the Blaze Is Unknown, OAKLAND, Cal.. Nov. 20. Fire de stroyed the ferry building at the Alameda Mole early this morning, and nine men who were asleep In the bunkhouse nar rowly escaped with the.ir lives. The fire started on the north side of the building, and two hours later It had burned to the water. A portion of the floor held up, evi dently by the network of track, still re mains, but on these tracks are the twist ed and warped Ironwork 'of the passenger coaches which were destroyed. Of the 47 coaches that were lost, 16 were broad gauge and 31 narrow-gauge. The building was erected by the late James G. Fair In 18S3, and cost originally ?50,000. Three years later It passed Into the ha'nds of the Southern Pacific Com pany with the entire road, and since then many improvements have been made. Within the last six months the company has built another slip and added improve ments to the extent of $75,000. The origin of the blaze Is a mystery. Superintendent Worthlngton says he has not the slightest Idea how It started, but said the matter would be thoroughly In vestigated. When asked for an opinion as to the origin, he said he had no opinion to offer. He admitted that a coal oil lamp was left burning on the north side of the building, near where the flames were first seen. It is the theory of the employes of the road that this lamp exploded, thereby causing the disastrous conflagration. Ofher theories, however, are that a lighted cigarette or cigar stump thrown by a passenger on the last train may have smoldered until the oily woodwork burst into flames. A theory that the blaze was of incendiary origin Is not considered se riously by the railroad officials. Later Charles Simons, reported missing, turned up safe. Fire Loss May Reach $1.00,000. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. In the big fire at Alameda Mole, Train Dispatcher Walker, of the Southern Pacific, estimates the loss at from $450,000 to $500,000. Besides the slips and buildings, 18 broad-gauge passenger coaches and 25 narrow-gauge coaches were .burned. The ferry steamer Enclnal, which was moored to the mole, was towed a place of safety. SAILORS ARE IN IRONS. Mutinied on Isln tic Luzon Because Machinery Shifted. WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. The Isla de Luzon, one of the Spanish gunboats cap tured at Manila by Admiral Dewey, is en route to New York, with 4S of her men in irons. The vessel, which has been doing guard duty in the Philippine Islands for about thrct; years, started recently for New York, proceeding from Manila, via Singapore. Advices received at the War Department Indicate that on the trip to Singapore some of the machinery on the boat shifted badly, creating a panic among the crew and causing a substantial mu tiny. The result was the placing of 4S of her crew in Irons. After her capture, the Luzon was repaired at Hong Kong, and It is said that the repairs were not prop erly made. PHILIPPINE BUSINESS BETTER.
