however, are to tho effect that the

The fact that the Insurgents occupy
an Impregnable position would seem
to indicate a government reverse. Re

NEW YORIC. Jan. 6. Wellington Koo.
a prominent young Chinese student at
Columbia I'rlversity, has nturned to
New York frov Washington, where he
pent considerable time In the company
of Tang Sliao TI, special Ambassador
from China to the United States. Com
menting on the dismissal of Yuan 9i.l
Kal, the great Chinese statesman, as a
member of the Grand Council, Mr. Koo
laid:
"Yuan Shi Kal will be reinstated or
there will be trouble. That Is what we
all believe. The people of China will not
stand an attempt to go backward Into
old ways, as modern methods of admin
istration have been so engrafted upon the
conduct of Chinese governmental affairs
by Yuan 6hl Kal and the very numerous
and able men affiliated with him that It
would be absurd and In fact impossible to
change back to the old ways.
"A a matter of fact. If the men whom
Yuan 6 ill Kal has put In places of power
and who are known to be In entire sym
pathy with him will stand together, the
Pekln administration will be completely
powerless to oppose them.
Joseph Singleton, a thoroughly Ameri
canised Chinese, president of the New
York branch of the Chinese Empire Re
form Association, does not share with
Wellington Koo the high regard for the
deposed Celestial statesman, nor does be
lament the turn affairs have taken.
"We do not accept this deposing of
Yuan Shi Kal as any evidence of a turn
ing against reform by the Grand Council
of China," he said. "We believe that
-while he was progressive, he was pro
grecslve because he thought It was the
best thing for Yuan ?fcl Kal and not be
cause he thought It was the best thing
for China."

NiJW YORK, Jan. 6. Delayed for sev

counsel for defense, hearings in the Gov
ernment suit to dissolve the so-called Har
rlman railroad merger were begun In
earnest today with Paul Morton, presi
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, as the first witness. Mr. Morton,
who from 1896 to 1904 was second vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, one of the defendant companies
with the Union Pacific, the Southern Pa
cific and others In the alleged combina
tion, was called by the Government to
support its contention that the alleged
roads had secured a monopoly of trans
portation business In the Far West In
violation of the Sherman anti-trust law.
Roads Used to Compete.
Mr. Morton was led by counsel for the
Government to describe the situation as
regards freight shipments between the
Central states and the Pacific Coast prior
to 1901. the date when the alleged com
bine was formed, and after that time.
He said that in the earlier period the
Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroads had been In
competition for transcontinental business.
The Rock Island system before building
into 3 Paso had connected with the
Union Pacific at Omaha and with the
Denver & Rio Grande at Pueblo, he said.
'The situation." said Mr. Morton, "ft as
apparently controlled by the Southern Pa
cific, which controlled the "rate-making
power.' "
"Is it your opinion," he was asked,
that before the Union Paclfto purchased
a large amount of Southern Pacific stock,
the two roads were In competition?"
"I believe so," was the reply.
Steamers Were Competitors.
Mr. Morton ad Jed that formerly compe
tition for San Francisco traffic had been
afforded by the "boat lines to San Fran
cisco" and the Canadian Pacific. Prior
to 1901 the Union Pacific and Southern
Paclflo maintained soliciting agents in
the East.

at 16.9 degrees above zero. It was ex

unde.rsrone such a severe storm. ine
present weather is more unpleasant even
than during the "thaw," but damage will
be much leas than was caused by the

SALEM, Or., Jan. J. (Special.) Ono of
the most important decisions that has
been handed down by the Oregon Su
preme Court in many years was placed
on record today, when the court held that
the Congressional act of March 3, 1S77. re- .
lating to settlement on public lands, lim
its all riparian rlfhts subsequently ac
quired except to the extent of the use of
water for domestic purposes. It Is esti
mated that SO per cent of the settlements
In Eastern Oregon have been made aince
1S77. Practically all the water power
rights In the state have been acquired
since that time. This decision, therefore,
limits the rights of such riparian owners
to the rights they have acquired .as ap
proprlators, except as to domestic uses,
which are too unimportant to be worth
consideration.
Speculative Privileges De nied.
Under this decision, it is impossible for
any person or corporation to acquire and
hold a power or irrigation right for spec
ulative purposes. Those persons, there
fore, who havo filed on water powers on
the Deschutes and other rivers must put
the water to beneficial use or forfeit their
right to the first person who does apply
it to such use. The opinion Is of tho
