March ‘ )t.—The opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the North. Securities Company vs. The United States involving the merger of the Northern Pacific and the Great North- ern Companies. was handed down to- day and was in favor of the govern- ment. The opinion was read by Jus- tice Harlan. The opinion of the United States Cir- cuit Court for the district of Minneso- ta was affirmed. The effect is to sustain the conten- tion that the Sherman anti-trust law applies to railroad combinations of the character in question. Justice Harlan said that In the mer- ger of the two roads the stockholders disappeared and reappeared In the So curitles Company. the two thus be- coming practically consolidated In a holding company. the principal object being to prevent competition. "No scheme or device could certainly more effectively come within the prohibi- tion of the anti-trust. law. and it is with- in the meaning of the act of a trust." The case has attracted more atten- tion than any other suit before the court since the first insular cases were decided and has been regarded 'by .)t‘ll(‘h and bar as equal In importance with those (noses anti with the income tax cases. it was argued In December last 1111' two days. and attracted gener- .tl attention at that time as It did pre- viously when the decision was render- cd by the circuit court for the district of Minnesota. The action was brought in the Circuit Court under the law of rebruary it, 1903, which was for the purpose of expediting the case. and was heard by the four circuit judges of the circuit. They united in a decl- siCIl favorable to the United States. and ..pposed,to the contentions of the rail- road companies. ‘ibe suit was instituted by the Unit- I States against the Northern Securi- 1911 Company, and the two railroad .101npaniee. the Northern Pacific and the, Great Northern and their leading stockholders for the purpose of dia- solving the merger of the two roads which the United States claimed had been created by the organisation of a holding company. the securities com- .any. This consolidation was claimed :1 be in violation of the Sherman antl- tiust law. It was claimed on behalf of the government that this consolida- ion was In effect a pool created to pro- ate the interests. not of one system 1 the expense of the other, but of both I the expense of the public. The .dIroads claimed that the transfer of he stock of the two companies to the oeurlties company was In the nature “I a sale and perfectly legitimate. The contentions of the security com- pany were revealed, and Justice Har- lan said they had received full atten~ .1on. He quoted the various opinions “volviug the trust question. saying that from them it is to be gathered that ..ii centracts in restraint of trade, ren- sonubie or unreasonable. are prohibit- ed by the Sherman law, and that Con- .css has the power to establish such cgulations as are lal down in that .4111. Congress had power to enact the statute. Replying in detail to the points made im‘ the Securities Company. Justice iiarlan said that the contention that the law is an interference with the lights of the Individual states by which the companies are Incorporated was not well- founded In such cases. he said, the authority of Congress Is supreme. He also declared it to be unnecessary to determine the right of owners of railroad stock to sell their property. nor was it true that the ight of the securities company to own, and hold railroad sto‘cldis the only question Involved. Such contentions are wide of the mark—mere men of straw. All that the government com- plains of Is the existence of a corpora- tion to repress mores. and Is not concerned with the other points. Jus- tice Harland said that in this day there should be no doubt of the com- plete power of Congress to control in- ter-state commerce. all apprOprlate means might be resorted to for that in support of that contention. Wheth- or free and unrestrained competition was wise he said. was an economic question with which the court need not concern Itself, the question was that of statutory l'aw. He counted the power of Congress over-Jamie commerce to be as complete as the pawn of a state over domestic commerce. Coming to the plea of the railroads that the anti- trust Ilw should bé‘ilecls unconsti- tutional. he Id that the rt'eould not. see Its so that ad. ."lf," he went. on, “the pocurhieiajcompany' s th *- surround why may not all e tel-in vice monotonous-f" Jasfleefisrlllalcotook a combination. and by the de- tho country in lion to othtlg In the securities company‘s certificate corporation to I oate Its purpose.“ mm “windproof?!"

Captain Slioilro Asal. commanding the flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers. states that the Japanese would have been able to rescue many more of the enemy but for the deadly fire of the shore batteries and the close approach of the Rwian cruiser Novik.

March 14.-The British four-malted bark Falls of Hell- sdale has just arrived. :35 days out from ”verpool. After leaving t port July 25 last, everything went we el until the vicinity of Cape Horn was reached September 25. There a suc- cession of terrific scuthwost and west- erly gates were encountered which rendered It impossible to work the ship around the cape and into the Pa ciflc. One of the guise attained a hur- ricane velocity. October II and 10. In the course of which 19 sails were blown away. After attempting to make the Falklands, Capt. Thompson finally decided. afte'r the vessel had been badly damaged, and considerable water had worked Its way Into the hold. to square away for the eastern passage around the cape of Good Hope. On January 1st Foveaux Island. off the south of New Zosland was reported andthere a stop was made for pro- visions and water. the supply of which was running short. At Poveaux eight men of the crew tired out with battl- ing with the elements refused duty. but with the exception of the ring- leader, they turned to after the captain and his mates were forced to adopt forcible measures with them. The ringleader was ironed and confined for 38 days. The vessel after leaving Foveaux made the run across the Peel- Ilc without any unusual event in the way of mishaps or in point of time. The trouble with the men quieted down, and all hands were on duty when the anchor was dropped here. The condi- tion of the cargo is not known, but It Is feared that some damage may have resulted from water during the wild weather experiencd in the unsuccess- ful attempt to beat to the westward off the horn.
