May Pay Dividends.
Judg Sanborn, after hearing tho

concern. He held that the injunction
against the dividends was auxiliary
and could not be modified by the
court, in as much as such dividends
do not belong to the United States.

U. S. STEEL MEETING.
All Officers and Directors Reelected
and Plans Ratified.
New York, April 20. The report of
the United States Steel Corporation
ior the year having already been
made public. Wall street is manifest
ing but a passing interest in the an
nual meeting of the company at Ho-
ooKen today. It Is generally under
stoow that routine business onlv will
be transacted at the meeting." The
stockholders are expected to ratify
tho purchase of tho United Steel
Company, in which Director Henry C
FricU is interested, and likewise to
approve of the purchase of the stocks
and bonds of the Troy Steel Products
Company, in which Directors John D.
Rockefeller and Henry H. Rogers are
interested. The program also calls
for the ratification of the plans of
me board of directors for the expen
diture this year of $30,000,000 in the
improvement of the plants of the
company. It is confidently exweted
that the eight directors whose terms

way companies while the appeal is
pending would not enhance or speed
the enforcement of any legal right
of tho United States while it might
intlict' unnecessary loss and Injury
upon the stockholders who are just
ly entitled to receive these dividends
as soon as Uiey are earned.
It is the purpose of tho government
tc enforce the law against all illegal
combination in restraint of trade. Dur
ing the pendency of tho appeal the
government Is protected by that por
tion of the Injunction which forbids
the acquisition or voting of any stock
of these two railway companies, Tho
appeal In this case will probably bo
determined by the supremo court
about November.
It Is not perceived how n retention
or payment of dividends during the
pendency of the appeal can injurious
ly affect any rht of the United
States In this litigation nnd tho only
question Is as to whether the dlvl
dends shall be niled up in the treas
uries of the railway companies or be
paid to the stockholders to whom
they legally belong and who must
ultimately receive them, which ever
way a Una! decision In the case may
bo.
Filed an Appeal.
Immediately after tho decision
the Northern Securities filed an aiv
peal and following the order of the
court gave bonds for JdO.OOO. Every
point made by the railway attorney
was sustained, Judge Sanborn elucl
dated his position at length and said
the defendants hadn't asked tho court
to suspend the entire injunction, but
only that portion which restrained
the payment of dividends pending nn
appeal.
