WANT THE MERGER
Petition Protesting Against
Governor Van Sant's Fight
BY MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS HEN
They Say the Proposed Arrangement
Will Be More Beneficial to
Shippers Than Present
Conditions.
ST. PATJL, Jan. 23. A petition has been
signed by grain men, lumbermen and
merchants and shippers of Minneapolis,
to be presented to Governor Van Sant,
asking that the fight against the so
called merger of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Burlington roads
be discontinued. The petitioners state
that It Is their belief that the proposed
arrangement for the control of the sys
tems by means of the Northern Securi
ties Company will be more beneficial to
shippers than are existing conditions.
They want stability of rates, they say,
and believe that the Northern Securities
Company will secure this for them. Not
only -will the shippers of the Twin Cities
be benefited by this stability of rates,
but all classes of shippers throughout the
Northwestern States will be similarly af
fected, they say.
Petitions of a similar nature are said
to be coming from other parts of the
state.
SIARKET-STBEET RAILWAY DEAL.
Syndicate 3Iny Pall to Take Up the
Bond.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25. There Is a
growing probability, says the Chronicle,
that the pending negotiations for the sale
of the Market-Street Railway will not be
closed within the time limit of the option
given to' the syndicate of Baltimore cap
italists which desires to obtain the prop
erty. The New York banking-house of Brown
Bros. & Co., acting for the Baltimore syn
dicate, It Is learned, is undertaking to
raise $30,000,030, which amount Is Intended
to pay for a three-quarters Interest in
the Market-Street Company and for the
acquisition of other San Francisco street
railways, notable among which is the
California-street system.
The Baltimore syndicate has until
March 1 to close the deal, with the privi
lege of a 60-day extension beyond that
date, provided certain stockholders agree
to the arrangement. Upon the expiration
of the option the purchasers will be re
quired to pay over to the Union Trust
Company the sum of $13,250,000 In addi
tion to the $250,000 already made, or for
feit the latter amount.
GOULD PUSHING WESTWARD.
Rio Grande Systems Seeking: a Snn
Francisco Outlet.
DENVER, Jan. 25. The News today
says:
"Surveys, are being made and rights of
way secured In the district west of Salt
Lake City to San Francisco by agents
representing George Gould and his as
sociates, which indicate that within an
other year the Rio Grande systems in
Colorado and Utah and the Gould con
nections east of this state will, together
with a new line west of Salt Lake City,
form a great transcontinental route to
rival- the Union Pacific and Santa Fe
Roads. The route of the proposed new
line west of Salt Lake will be from Salt
Lake across the desert through Eureka,
New, to "Walker Pass, then beyond to
the Kern River, up the Tulare Valley to
San Francisco. The line will pass
through 40 mining camps of Utah and Ne
vada, Including 18 districts in the Deer
Creek, Utah, vicinity. The survoy across
the desert In Utah leading to "Walker's
Pass In the Sierra Nevada Range is 1503
feet lower than any other pass in the
upper country."
Discrimination Against New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Counsel for the
New York Produce Exchange are In co
operation with a committee of the ex
change preparing a bill for presentation
to the Legislature designed primarily to
stop railroad discrimination against the
port of New York. The committee on
freight rate discrimination of the ex
change has for nine months been investi
gating the proposed plans for restoring
the ground lost to this port, and is of the
.opinion that the railroads are largely re
sponsible. The bill which will be introduced at Al
bany will greatly enlarge the powers of
the State Railroad Commission, giving to
that commission the power to execute its
own recommendation. At present the
commission can Investigate and recom
mend, but has no legal power to enforce
Its opinion.
Pennsylvania Line to London.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 25. From Montauk
Point, L. I., to Milford Haven, England,
in the Pennsylvania Railroad's own
steamers, and from Milford Haven to
London over the London & Northwestern
Railroad, is the great international route
which has been mapped out by the Penn
sylvania Railroad for service as soon as
arrangements can be perfected. It de
veloped today that the trip of President
A. J. Cassatt and his assistant. Robert
Pitcairn, to England last Summer was
largely for the purpose of completing
plans for this route. Few details of the
plan are known, but it is a well-known
fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
been aiming for some time past to develop
the foreign coal trade, and this movement
is believed to be a part of the scheme.

STATUS OF MINERAL LANDS
Opening: of Spokane Reservation
Rests With Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L Senator
Turner has received a number of Inquiries
from persons living in Eastern Wash
ington as to the exact status of the min

Senator Turner addressed a letter to the

to the fact that his reservaion is rich in

The New Tork Financier has compiled a chart to show the growth of the Union Pacific
Railroad system, which, with its $100,000,000 capital. Is able to control $1,000,000,000 of road.
It says: "The public furnished $100,000,000 in moner. for which It received an equal amount
of collateral trust 4 per cent bonds, while the Union Pacific secured control of the Southern
Pacific, and through the recent settlement of the Northern Pacific contest a half Interest In
the Burlington and about $S5.000.000 of Northern Securities -Company stock. All of this was
accomplished. It must be remembered, without any Increase whatever In the capital stock
of the Union Pacific. The interests who were In control of that property have secured In ad
dition the control or the other roads without expenditure. The roads represented havo a total
capitalization of over $1,038,280,000. To this must bo added something over $80,000,000 of
Northern Securities stock, making a capitalization of considerably over $1,700,000,000 Invest
ed in railroad and steamship lines, and which, aa brought out by the table, are absolutely
controlled by those who own the controlling interest in" the Union Pacific. The mileage of
the railroads controlled Is over 23.000 miles. During 1806 and 1807. when the present inter
ests acquired control of the Union Pacific, the stock of the company sold around 3t and
4$. At these prices the control of the property could have been purchased for less than
$10,000,000. By taking a more liberal estimate it is hardly probable that the control of the
Union Pacific cost the present Interest over $30,000,000. and yet it is seen that they control
railroad and steamship lines capitalized at over $1,750,000,000."
minerals and suggesting that the opening
the same to mineral locations would add
greatly to the mining resources of the
state, and at the same time work advan
tageously to the Indians located on that
reservation. He stated that the reserva
tion is surrounded by mineral country on
every side, and that the people of his
state were anxious to have the same
course pursued with reference to the res
ervation that was followed in the case of
the Colvllle reservation, that Is, throw
the same open to mineral locations with
out abrogating the reserve, or destroying
the right of the Indians thereon. The
Senator asked whether It would be pos
sible, by executive order, to have such
action taken.
In his reply the Indian Commissioner
pointed to the fact that the reservation
was created by executive order "of Janu
ary 18, 18SL which provided that the lands
may be allotted to the Indians in sev
eralty wnenever such action is deemed
desirable. The Assistant Attorney-General
two years ago rendered a decision,
later approved by the Secretary, In which
it was held that the Indians had the? same
rights in a reservation created by Execu
tive order as if the same had been made
by treaty or act of Congress. This leaves
the clear title to the land with the In
dians. The Spokane Indian reservation was cre
ated prior to the general allotment act,
and the Indian Office Is of the opinion
that It should not be opened to mineral
exploration and location without appro
priate legislation by Congress. It says
that good faith and fair dealing with the
Indians would require that their consent
be first obtained before such action is
taken. The order creating the reservation
is held to have given the Indians unre
stricted use of the lands, and to permit
mineral prospectors to go upon the re
serve for the purpose of locating mineral
claims and prosecuting operations would
to a greater or less extent Interfere
with the rights of the Indians In their
use and occupancy of the reservation.
In the case of the Colvllle and other res
ervations, where mineral prospectors have
gained admittance. It has been next to
Impossible to protect the Indians. It Is
thought the Indians, matiy of whom have
selected lands on the Spokane reservation,
should be protected until the same can be
formally allotted to them. The Spokane
lands are unsurveyed and individual al
lotments at the .present time could not be
made. Senator Turner, In view of this re
ply, intends to take the necessary Con
gressional action to sanction the location
of mineral claims on the reservation.

and no additional deaths are anticipated.
The disaster was caused by an explo

lly charged. It proved to be what min
ers call a "screamer." In the accident of
yesterday, the effect was simply terrific
The tracks were torn up and the guided
for the cages were blown away. On this
account, they could not be operated "for
three hours. The fans were also dam
aged and could not be used to ventilate
the mine Immediately. All the entry doors
were blown completely out, and no sys
tem of ventilation could be arranged un
til the doors were replaced by volunteers,
and it was almost certain death to go into
the mine.
As soon as the cages could be operated
volunteers speedily stopped forward. The
firsfman to enter the mine was James
Trlmbrell, general superintendent of the
mine. He was eagerly followed by many
many others, who took their turns in
going to the relief of Vie' victims. As
soon as the mine was fully explored, 21
dead bodies were found.
An Inquest was held this afternoon over
the remains of the dead miners, the ver
dict being that the men came to their
death as a result of an explosion, caused
by a shot fired by Andy Pash, one of the
dead miners. The State Inspector said
the mine was in first-class condition.

Nevr Medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a discov
ery of great value to the medical profes
sion and the public They are an unfall-
ing specific in all cases of dyspepsia and
disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion Is disor
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for It Is to take some one
of the many so-called blood purifiers,
which In many cases are merely strong
cathartics. Such things are not needed.
If the organs are in a clogged condition,
they need only a little help and they will
right themselves. Cathartics Irritate the
sensitive linings of the stomach and bow
els, and often do more harm than good.
Purging Is not what Is needed. The
thing to do Is to put the food In condi
tion to be readily digested and assimilat
ed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
perfectly. They partly digest what Is
eaten and give the stomach Just the help
It needs. They stimulate the secretion and
excretion of the digestive fluids and re
lieve the congested condition of the glands
and membranes. They put the wholo di
gestive system, in condition to do its
work. When that is done you need take
no more tablets, unless you eat what does
not agree with you. Then take one or two
tablets give them needed help, and you
will have no trouble.
It's a common-sense medicine nnd a
common-sense treatment, and It will cure
every time. Not onjy cure the disease, but
cure th"e cause. Goes about It In a per

not gq them I should have been at rest
by this time'."
H.E. Wlllard. Onslow, la., says: "Mr.
White, ofCanton, was telling me of your
Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of dyspep
sja, from which ho had suffered for eight
years. As I am a sufferer myself, I wish
you to send me a package by return mall."

JID A CITIZEN'S DUTY.
Fine Tribute to a Pennsylvania
Gentleman.
Philadelphia City and State.
George Rhyfedd Foulke, of Chester
County, whose sad death whllo out shoot
ing on Thanksgiving day was reported In
the last issue of the City and State, was
of that class of citizens which the state
can Ill-afford to lose. He was a young
man of position and refinement, who had
adopted tho life of a farmer by prefer
ence, and who took an. active Interest In
the political affairs of the agricultural
community In which he lived. He had
high Ideals and lived up to them, and he
was one of those who accepted to the
full their responsibility to the state. He
was a fearless and consistent reformer,
who worked strenuously In season and out
of season for purer politics and better
government.
Perhaps the best instance of his earnest
ness as a reformer was the battle which
he fought single-handed against the Dis
trict Attorney of Chester County a few
years ago. He had had occasion as a
manager of an adjoining farm to prose
cute a man who was accused of theft. He
had the man arrtsted and brought before a
Justice of the Peace. The case seemed
elear; the facts, indeed, could hardly be
disputed. At the hearing, however, a
young lawyer from West Chester appeared
for the defendant, and urged that he be
discharged. The young lawyer was no
other than an assistant District Attorney
of the County. He blandly admitted that
such was his official position, but he said
he saw no Impropriety in asking that the
man should be released. Mr. Foulke,
however, succeeded in having the defend
ant bound over, and In due course of
time he was Indicted. Then Mr. Foulko's
real fight began. Delay after delay was
Interposed, and the case was continued
from one term to another. At last, when
It came up for trial, the testimony In the
possession of the witnesses for the com
monwealth was Ignored by the prosecut
ing officer and a verdict of not guilty
taken. Most men would then have submit
ted. Not so Mr. Foulke. He filed a pe
tition asking the Court of Common Pleas
of Chester County to Investigate the con
duct of the District Attorney In connection
with the case, and he pressed the pro
ceedings under this petition persistently
and fearlessly. He threw himself Into the
fight, determined to expose what seemed
to him to have been on the part of tho
District Attorney and his assistant a be
trayal of official honor. That a political
ring supported the officials made not a
particle of difference to Mr. Foulke. He
retained Philadelphia counsel, and laid
the evidence fully before the court. The
result was that while the petition was
nominally dismissed, he obtained from the
court an opinion on the merits of his pe
tlon which practically affirmed the truth
of the allegations he had made, and which
contained so stinging a rebuke to the
District Attorney that It was tantamount
to a moral victory for the petitioner. This,
It will be Temembered, was not the act
of a professional philanthropist or an
agent of a reform society, but only that
of a country gentleman who was deter

with It, Some, people thought at the time
that he was not called upon to fight single
handed what was really the battle of an
entire community, but Mr. Foulke was
not the man to count the cost, and it Is
now pleasant to reflect that the results
of the proceeding must have amply re

knowing before long that his action had
been approved by the great majority of
his fellow citizens.
Many other evidences of Mr. Foulke's
public spirit might be cited. In hl3 home
life he was much beloved, and he left a
large number of personal friends. He
was of a generous and loving disposition;
his tastes were simple, his thoughts fresh
and clean. He was a preux chevalier, a
gentleman through and through.
The circumstances of his death were sin
gularly tragic. He was out shooting with
two friends and with his little boy. He

BY SYMPTOM
The Diagnosis Made Easy by the Famous Symptom
'Questions; tne Cure Made Certain by the
Wonderful Medication Which Reaches
Every Part Subject to Catarrh.
THE TREATMENT THAT CURES
Dr. Copeland's treatment that has
lifted the darkness and blight of the word
"incurable" from hundreds of thousands
of cases of Catarrh of the Head, Throat,
Ear Tubes, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
works as curative action for two reasons:
(1) It reaches every dlsenscd spot
from, the orifice of the nose to the
deepest part of the lungs and the
Innermost recesses of the middle
ear.
(2) Instead of irritating, Inflaming
and feeding the fires of the dlsense,
It soothes, quiets, heals and cures.

dition. "Is your voice husky?"

was some 25 miles from home, and a mile
or more away from any house, when he
was shot by the accidental discharge of
the gun his son was carrying. From the
moment that he was shot until his death,
some four hours afterward, there was no
hope, the shot having passed almost
straight through his back. He knew
that he could not live, but he met his
fate bravely and without repining, his
thoughts being solely for his son and for
his wife and other children. He met
death face to face and did not fear, for
he had the "readiness" which In Hamlet's
phrase "Is all."
What Is the Tax For?
Philadelphia Ledger.
Why does Congress Impose this tariff
on art works? Not for the revenue to bo
derived therefrom, for what little revenue
Is derived from this source Is not needed.
The tax Is not even Imposed for the pro
tection of American artists. They could
not. If they would, produce the ancient
works which comprise Mr. Morgan's great
collection. Even contemporary art does
not need protection, the most eminent
American artists, the supposed benefi
ciaries of a tariff on art, being opposed
to the Imposition of such duties.
The effect of the tariff on art 13 to shut
out the pictures that elevate and instruct
but to leave the door wide open to the
Importation of copies of old masters,
forged Imitations of the newer masters
and "pot boilers" of the most degrading
type. The valuation put upon them is
low, and the dealer can afford to pay
the tax of 20 per cent when he sells the
products of "piuper labor" at fancy
prices as the works of eminent artists.
Congress ought to act In this matter In
the most liberal spirit, American art
would be benefited by the repeal of all
duties upon real works of art, on the
ground that such works are of education
al value and promote the art training of
the people. But If Congress is not pre
pared to go that far. It should, at least,
remove the tax from tho works of the
old masters In all departments of art.
These do not come Into competition with
any legitimate American industry, so
that the tax docs not afford protection
to any one, and the revenue to be derived
from such importations Is not needed.
