Vs., April li The decls ion of the United States Court of Ap peals in the Northern Securities case. Major Skelton Williams, president of the Seaboard Air Line System, says he re gards as one ot the greatest blessings and the brightest promises for railroad interests and general business that the country could have. In an Interview to day with a representative ot the Asso ciated Press, when asked his opinion of the decision, Mr. Williams said: "I am satisfied that when they come to study the matter carefully, railroad men and thinking men of aU classes not only in the South, but In the country generally, except those whose ambitious schemes are directly hindered, will be united In the feeling that the decision Is sound law, good sense and for the ad vantage ot all legitimate Interests and for the country's welfare. From a legal standpoint it accords with the opinion ot many of the ablest lawyers of the coun try. and seems to be fortified with author ities and reasoning too strong to be shaken. Public Sentiment Sustains It. "I have no fear that the Supreme Court will reverse or seriously modify it. Public policy, public sentiment and established principles and precedents of law combine to sustain the Circuit Court. From a commercial and practical railroad standpoint the soundness of the court's position is indisputable. It voices the Judgment ot probably nine-tenths ot the most conservative business men qt the country. "Last 'November In New Orleans, in an .address .before the trust company section of the American Bankers Association. I took the ground that there must be a, check to the process ot merger and com bination. I found my opinion was heart ily approved by most of my hearers and by the public generally. It I may Judge from press comments, and I am satisfied the country at large will welcome the court's action. The lndeiendent roads and systems are by this decision assured that -connecting lines with whom they exchange business cannot be bought up by some powerful compeUtlor of then- own and ot such frtendlr connecting lines, and the holders ot securities In the Independent systems will be assured that their inter ests cannot "bt Jeopardised by the sale of a majority share to rivals whose In terests may be to divert toe business ot the road to other channels at the expense ot minority holders. The larger sys tems, on the other hand, are protected against the building ot parallel lines built to force them to buy to protect themselves. Xo Southern Securities Company. The decision seems to make Impos sible the succeas of the projected South ern Securities Company. It will be recol lected that the recent hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the Louisville & Nashville case maucr Gates testily that If the Northern- Securities Company was upheld. Mr. Morgan pro posed the organization of a Southern Se curities Company to merge certain im portant roads In the South, plans having been discussed or arranged to- await the decision which Mr. Morgan expected to be favorable to his methods. It could not have been a' healthy or safe situation it a few men could cave sat in their of fices in New Tork and controlled the railroad systems of this entire couatry; not safe for the stockholders of the roads themselves nor .for the public. "Speaking for the Independent systems. I welcome the promise of continued fair competition. There is plenty, of busi ness to give good profits to all railroads and systems properly established and wlsey managed, and there will be a de mand for extension and for new lines to carry- the steadily Increasing traffic and travel. 'As for the general public it is idle to talk of a political republic with a financial tyranny: there is no more safety in having- commerce at the mercy or an absolute ruler than there would be In having our Government controlled by a Czar, who might be a benevolent or a cruel one, according to his wi:i or abil ities, or to the circumstances: Instead of disturbing our prosperity. this decision. If sustained, as I believe it will be. will establish, secure and protect mo commercial situation: It will encour age and foster legitimate exterslon and growth and expansion and stimulate en terprise and industry and local effort by guaranteeing that against oppressing and lorcea absorption.

COMMENDS TUB DEPARTMEXT. Antl.Trnst League Withdraws Former Censure. Its WASHINGTON. April 12. An executive committee of the Anti-Trust Leasroe. through its secretary. H. B. Martin, has sent Attorney-General Knox a letter In which they congratulate the Department of Justice, of which the letter says the league neretotore has complained because of what the league considered Its dllatori nesa In enforcing the Sherman anti-trust act, on the "conspicuous success its ef forts have achieved in securing a vital' and far-reaching Judicial interpretation ot tne act or iso." , The letter then declares it is essential that the injunction obtained be followed up. if Its benefits are to be realized, by penal prosecutions of the officers and in dividuals who form the Northern Securi ties Company. The Attorney-General Is also urged to institute "proceedings," both civil and criminal, against the anthracite coal trust. Secretary Sloody Uome Today. WASHINGTON. April 12.

The Standard learns that an agreement has been con cluded whereby Great Britain, France and Germany will participate equally In the control of the proposed Bagdad rail road, the revenues of which will be guar anteed oy tne Turkish customs. The main Bagdad Railway Is to run from Konla to KaramanereylL. MossuL Bagdid and Basra, with branches to Ellepo. Una and the Gulf of Alexan dretta. The Germans obtained the con cessions for the line and. according to a dispatch from Constantinople. Febru ary 12. the Turkish government guaran tees an Income of S220O per kilometer. and an annual contribution of JS00 per kilometer, to be used In the payment of working expenses tor the first portion of the line from Konla to Bagdad. The convention between the Turkish govern' ment and the Germans was then awaiting the issue ot an trade to become effec tive. The Russian press his been antagonis tic to the Bagdad Railway, on the ground that It would Increase British, and more particularly German, Influence In those regions. The Novoe Vremya tome time ago strongly urged a strenu ous policy to offset-British and German activity In Persia, saying thit to await until the Seistan & Bagdad Railway line was completed would be nothing less than suldde-on the part of Russia.

ALLISON TO WRITE PLANK or theRepublican Conven tion of That State-, HARMONY WILL BE RESTORED President Roosevelt Will Repeat Ills Tariff Vlevra to Audiences That Will Readily Coincide Wltk Ills Ideas. Tnt Iowa Idea has a number of se vere Jars, but It took the Indorsement of the persistent seeker aftef the Presi dency on the Democratic ticket to give It Its death blow. Speeches by Roosevelt. Root and Bhaw bare snows that the Administra tion la not Is accord with tne state ments championed by Governor Cum mins, Then, too, DoUlver was very much squelched by the Senate when he made Ms speech declaring agaln.t the Ding ier cheduls. the crafty Allison barely escaping similar treatment by noting ' the reception accorded his colleague's speech. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April li Reports reach here to the effect that the coming Republican Convention In Iowa will be a very tame affair, and Instead of a hot fight with Governor Cummins and Senator DolU ver on one side fivorlng the "Iowa idea, and the Iowa delegation on the other standing for high protection, with Allison astride the fence, there Is to be a quiet convention In which the "Iowa idea" -will not be .heard of nnd Allison wnl write a tariff plank that no one can interpret end which will suit everybody. It Is said that right in the home of Cum mins, Roosevelt. Is to repeat his tariff views. But. the speeches already made by Roosevelt, Root and Show have been sufficient to convince Cummins that he Is not In harmony with the party leaders. Besides the Indorsement from Bryan was a killing blow, to have the leader of the Democracy In the last two cam-' palgns assert that the Cummins tariff view was Democratic, has given the high protectionists a strong card and they are making ths most of It. Another significant utterance Is an edi torial In the Des Moines Leader and Register, published by Director of the Mint Roberts, and which has been for months the organ of the tariff revision ists. Since the speeches of Roosevelt, Root and Shaw. Roberts hurried home and editorially In bis paper Indorses the President and Root and asserts that no where will the Republicans more cordi ally indorse their utterances than in Iowa. Nor should Republicans "fritter away their iasues" in a "fruitless at tempt at tirlff revision In the coming session of Congress." Roberts and DoUlver are close allies, and It Is presumed that the Junior Sena tor has surrendered and that Cummins will either come Into camp or be left standing alone. When Henderson so dramatically got out of the Congressional race last Fill, he and his friends- alleged that Allison, as well as Dolltver, was In league with Cummins and against the high protection idea. DoUlver, being somewhat hasty,. exploited the "Iowa Idea" In the Senate, declaring that the Dlngley schedules were not sacred, that they were made high so as to be reduced by reciprocity, and then denounced those who had held up the reciprocity treaties In the Senate. It was understood that Allison was to fol low DoUlver upon the same lines, but. ever cautious, he took alarm at the man ner In which his colleague's speech was received. It soon became apparent that DoUlver was being put through the "slttlng-down-on process," 'which is used by the Senate to crush a man. Allison soon learned the course of the Senatorial cur rent and kept quiet. Now he points out the Impossibilities of the Reciprocity Treaties, something that everybody un derstands. Meanwhile the tariff revision sentiment that dominated portions of Iowa, Minne sota. Wisconsin and adjoining sections Is being npldly smothered, with the ex pectation that It will not be mentioned In the coming Iowa platform. WHY HAnmsox WINS. Republican Party In Chicago Bossed by Corrupt niug. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April li The bard-up condition of the Democrats In the way of Presidential timber is shown In the rush that is made to put Carter Harrison la the field. Be cause he has carried Chicago tour times during the time Democracy has been liv ing on husks, some think that he could carry the country. These do not stop to reason that the Lo rimer ring controls the Republican party of Chicago, and the people of that dty would do almost anything rather than turn the dty over to the rapacity of that crowd of unscrupulous politicians. Reports" from Chicago say that Harrison takes the professions he Is receiving from various Democrats seriously, and cocsld era himself a possibility. "And why not Harrison as well as anybody." asked a Gold Democrat, "after two campaigns of Bryan?" GO R MAX AGAINST PARKER. nU Machine Is" Cutting: OS Talk About lllra. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 12. There are many evi dences that the'Parker boom Is being sys tematically shelved. The Southerners are not talking so much about Parker, while many of them and certain papers are pointing out that it would not be well to .have, an unknown man tor the candidate. It would be better to have .some one with a knowledge of National affairs and expe rience in Washington. In tracing these expressions to their source It Is found that the "experienced" man referred to Is Gorman. It la the old Gorman machine that Is shutting, off the Parker talk, and It is evident that the Maryland Senator Is not to be. put out of the running because he Is among Bryan's "lnellglbles." DUTCH STRIKE FAILS Amsterdam and Rotterdnm Leaders Acknowledge Defeat. AMSTERDAM, April" li The strike has collapsed. The aged Socialist leader. Domella Nleuvcnhuls, who emerged from his retirement In order to run the strike agitation, was present at a stormy meet ing of the labor organization, which sat during the whole of last night and until SrSi) o'clock this morning. He proposed to terminate the agitation, since the cause of labor had been betrayed. The meeting acquiesced in this view and decided not to elect a new strike com mittee. A similar decision was reached at a recent meeting at Rotterdam. Strikes at St. Petersburg. ST PETERSBURG, April 12.

VIENNA. April 12. Premier. Kneb has Issued an Important circular to the pro vincial Governors, revising the rules regu lating the censorship ot plays, whtch have been practically unchanged since ISM. One of the most Interesting provisions In the circular Is the creation of censorship coun cils to which condemned plays must be referred. These councils will consist or three members, a government official, a legal official and an Independent member. The latter must be one specially acquaint ed .with dramatic affairs, such as a dramatic critic or a literary man. As the majority In the council will be government officials, there is little danger of any play distasteful to the authorities receiving a privilege. The censors are for bidden to revise or alter plots. They may onijr suggest alterations to the authors. RUSSIA STUDENTS PUNISHED. Women 31edlcs Reprimanded and. Expelled Sympathisers Suffer. ST.

While the International attention shown to President Loubet by the assemblage ot a powerful foreign squadron in Algerian waters to salute him on his arrival is not without significance, the fact that tho Bey of Tunis will go to receive the President on bis lanfiing Is an honor that potentate has never before paid any royal visitor.
