Kellogg of Min neapolis, government trust-buster, has been slated for u place on tho bench of tho supremo court of the United States. Tho rumor was gen erally credited, although it had no apparent authoritative source. Kellogg has been connected with some of tho most important triiht litigation that tho government has undortaken, having virtually con ducted tho dissolution suit now pend ing in the supremo court against tho Standard Oil company. Since Presi dent Tnft is anxious thnt this ca&o go boforo a full bench, and sinco Kellogg was active in tho prosecution of tho case, it is doubted in some nunrtors whethor Tnft would appoint Kellogg.

While roturns are meager, the three insurgent candidates for con gress have apparently won. Wil liam E. Humphrey, incumbent, in the first district (Seattle) is running close to and may lead R. P.
