It Is certainly an astonishing proposition
that Washington has a right to romplaln
hat a New Jem-- corporation hss ac
quired a majority of the capital stork of
two railroad companies, one a Wisconsin
corporation and the other a Minnesota
Company, merely because the roads operate

Mr. Griggs also makes the assertion that
as a matter of fact none of the defendants
has combined or msde any contract for
any of the purposes charged. Quoting the
laws of Washington, bearing on this point,
he says:
Nothing In any of these sections lurblds
one person, whether a natural person or a
corporation, from acquiring a majority of
the stock In two competing railroad com
panies. Th prohibition Is placed upon the
companies themselves. It Is their acts',
done for the purpose of consolidation and
combination, which are regulated, not the
acts of the Individual stockholders In selling;
their stock, or transferring It to one person
or a syndicate of persons for the tiurpoxe

RAILROAD LOSES THE CASE
Colorado A Southern's Proposed Short
Line Set Dark by Supreme
Court Derision.
DENVER. April 7. The Colorado &
Southern railway's proposed short line to
Cripple Creek and possible cutoff via the
canyon on the south fork of the Platte re
ceived a set-back by a decision of the su
preme court handed down today by Judge
Oabbert.
The railway company has been ready for
some time to begin work and bas been only
awaiting the court's decision. In 189S the
Denver Power and. Irrigation company filed
on land In Platte canyon for reservoir
lto 160 feet high and backing up the water
for six or eight mllca. The Colorado &
Southern then laid claim to a right of way
over the land In question by virtue of a
deed from railroad companies which had
made filings and begun to lay rails In the
e anyon. Suit was brought by the power and
Irrigation company to condemn the land
wanted. The, district court decided against
the power and Irrigation company, but the
supreme court reverses this judgment and
remands the case.
In his opinion Justice Oabbert holds that
railroad company cannot hold lands, even
It It has laid rails, unless It runs a bona
fids railway.

DEPEW BEFORE COMMITTEE
Senator Does Not Enow Christmas and Rat
No Connection with the Affair.
HAY WRITES EXPLANATORY LETTER
Secretary of Stat tu a Letter to
Chairman Itnlsell Tells of
Ills eolatlna with
Christmas.
WASHINGTON, April 7. Senator Depew
of New York appeared today before the
special house committee Investigating
charges in connection with the Danish West
Indies negotiation. His statement was
brief. He expressed astonishment at hav
ing seen his name In the Christmas report.
He did not know Christmas and never. had
seen hlin, as far aa he was aware, although
he met thousands of people and could not
say just who he had seen, But as to this
Danish Island question ha never had had
a discussion with anyone on the subject.
C. V. Knox 'of Maryland, whose name
was mentioned In the Chrlstma report, told
of meeting Christmas, whom be considered
a cultivated man who had . become en
tangled with sharpers. The witness said
he consented ' to assist ' Christmas and a
contract was submitted to the cotmnlttee
by the terms of which Knox was to assist
In any proper manner in bringing about
the transfer, Knox to receive 115,000 In case
of a sale and $350 per month. As to a J5
transaction which had been referred to,
Knox said he gave Christmas his check for
13, which wss Indorsed by Hansen, and
he produced the check. This was the only
financial fact In the entire affair. The wit
ness said he never bribed anyone, and
nothing of the kind was ever contemplated;
he never received any money from Christ
mas. I .-''
In response to questions from members
of the committee Mr. Knox specifically
denied that ho had Introduced Christmas
tt W. J. Bryan 'or that he had -claimed
to ChrlfitmaB that be was an . Intimate
friend of Senator Hanna.
Senator Bacon of Georgia told of two
casual conversations with Christmas. " A
to the tatter's statement that Mr. Baron
took great Interest In the purchase of the
Danish Islands, the senator declared it was
absolutely untrue and he did not, believe
In the acquisition of the islands, and con
sidered It unfortunate that th United
States was In a position where it seemed
necessary to take them.
Hay Writes a Letter.
Chairman Dalzell presented the following
letter from Secretary Hay on the subject:
' To Hon. John Dais 11. Chairman Select
Committee, etc.: I have received your
letter of the 31st of March and In reply
beg leave to say:- -
In the early purt pf December. 1893, Cap
tain Christmas called upon me at this de
partment and Informed me that through
private and personal sources In Copen
hagen he hail become aware that there
was a deposition among soma of the lead
ing members of the Danish government to
regard favorably an overture from the gov
ernment of the United States looking to the
acquisition of the Danish Islands, tie said
that he had been a naval officer and spoke
at some length In regard to the desirability
of the Island of tit. John as a naval station
for the United States. At my suggestion
he conveyed what further technical In
formation he had pn this subject to Ad
miral Bradford of the Navy department.
Although he presented no credentials what
ever, and expressly declared that he had
no official character, 1 thought his story
was of sufficient Interest to be worth in
vestigation. I told him I would send a
confidential and trusted agent of this gov
ernment . to Copenhagen to ascertain un
officially the true state of affairs and men
tioned to nim tn name or Henry wnite,
first secretary of embassy at London. Cap
tain Christmas auld tie would like to be
in Copenhagen when Mr. WTilte arrived
and bring him ' Into communication with
members of the government, whom he had
mentioned. I gave- htm a not of Introduc
tion to Mr. 'White and they met In Copen-
hagen. where Captain Christmas had ar
ranged for an Interview between Mr. White
and a member of the. Danish government.
Mr. Christmas was not present at this
Interview and his Connection with th latter
ceased entirely at that time. He after
ward returned to W ashlneton and I saw
him once or twice,' but' told him there was
no need for services of any private person
in any negotiation that might be taken up
between the two governments looking to
the acquisition of the Islands. I enclose
a copy of a letter which I gave to the
Danish minister In Washington at the time
of the. signing of the recent treaty and
also a copy of a letter which I have re
ceived from the Danish minister, Mr. Brim,
dated the 3lst or March, its. very sin
cerely yours, JOHN HAY.
signing- of the Convention.
In a letter to Minister Bruu of Denmark
enclosed, Mr. Hay refers to the signing of
the convention of cession and adds:
The government of the United States Is
in no manner under obligation to the gopd ,
uiiii'Tn in ui i v a to vartirs - an i rtnAiiie.it; iiisj
agreement now hauutly brought about be
tween the United states and Denmark and
cannot admit for its own part or support
in any way any such claim against Den
mark for commission, compensation or re
muneration of Whatever nature which
might be made by private parties for
alleged services In connection with the
cession of the islands In question to the
United States. ,
A letter from' Minister Briin states that
"Captain Christmas hsd no authorisation,
whatever; to enter Into negotiations In the
nam of the Danish government, nor to
make any promise in the nam of th
government In connection therewith." Mr.
Brun also says h gave, Captain Christmas
no letter of Introduction, but refused his
request in this connection.
Representative Richardson said he
thought Mr. Hay should come before the
committee and should produce any letters
he had in connection with Christmas' going
to Copenhagen.
Hay Ready to Appear.
Chairman Dalsell stated that Secretary
Hay was ready to appear at any time his
presence was desired. Th chairman rather
emphatically dissented from Mr. Richard
son's suggestion that as th secretary "bad
used this man," there should be a more de
tailed explanation ct any communications
sent to him. No arrangement was made as
to Mr. Hay's appearing, but It was under
stood he would be beard later.
Isaac N. Sellgman of th firm of J. and
W. Sellgman, bankers at New York, told of
Christmas' asking the firm to take charge of
money tranafers in cas of a cession of the
Islands. Th Arm wrote to the private
banker at Copenhagen mentioned by Christ
mas and th answer from that institution
was unsatisfactory, giving no confirmation
of Christmas' authority. After that Mr.
Sellgman said the firm dismissed the mat
ter. When Mr. Cousins asked a to Christmas'
statement that the Sellgmans had guaran
teed certain contracts Mr. 8ellgman laugh
ingly declared auch statements were made
out of whole cloth.
The committee adjourned on call of th
chairman.
LOOKS BETTERFOR TREATY
Indications Are That Landsthing
Will Hatlfy Sal of West '
Indies. COPENHAGEN. April 7 Two mor ec
ret meetings of ths Landsthing wereiheld
today to discuss th Danish West Indie
Islands treaty, but no tot was reachcl.
The opposition mad a new motion, namely,
to order that a plebiscite b held before
the ratification of the treaty. This motion
will not be accepted, but it caused th post
ponement of tb vol to the next meeting
of tb House, which will undoubtedly be
the last one. A re

flcatlon of th treaty.
- Herr voa Fessea. who was asm to the
Danish West Indies In 101 by tb National
Tldende to stir up opposition I th pro
posed sale to the I'nlted States, has re
turned with glowing reports of the success
of bis mission. Today he published an ar
ticle In the National Tldende In which be
declare that Influences bsve been at wofh
In the Islands which would render a plebis
cite at this time worthless to Denmark, as
the vote of the Inhabitants of the Islands
would result In favor of the sale. He there
fore asks the Landathing to reject the
treaty outright. This Is believed to show
the desperate strait of the opopsHloa.

BULLET IN HIS TEMPLE
James Whitfield Ends His Life at His
Home in Kansas Oitj.
FINANCIAL TROUBLE IS THE CAUSE
President of Western Rase Ball
Leagne Discouraged by Fallar
of Investments la DISTer '
ent Enterprise.
KANSAS CITT, Mo., April 7 James
Whitfield, president of the Western Bsse
Ball league, and for many years sporting
editor of the Kansas City Star, committed
suicide at bis home here early today.
Mr.. Whitfield was well known In Sport
ing circles throughout the west. For the
last ten years he has been In charge of th
sporting department of the Star, and In
that capacity ha always kept In touch
with the politics of th national game.
He was actively engaged In base ball as
early as the '80s. He was one of the or
gs nlxers of the Original Western league,
and was Its first president. In April, 1886,
his presence at the National league meet
ing In New York and Chief go. and h's
pleas for Kansas City 'on those two oc
casions, won for Kansas City its. first and
only franchise In th big league. Whitfield
was made secretary of the club. The tor
nado In May of that year spoiled the
team's chances of making money by de
stroying the grand stand and flooding the
diamond. Tn 1888, Mr. Whitfield again
acted as Kansas City a' representative, this
time at the American association's meet
ings tn Cincinnati and New York, and he
was again successful in securing what
he went after, a franchise for Kansas City.
That was hla last active appearance in
the base ball field nntll he was elected
president of the present Western league at
St. Joseph last winter.
Worried br His Work.
The work of organizing the new league
proved very great, and since he decided to
hesd the league that Is fighting the Ameri
can association. Mr. Whitfield had. toiled
night and day.. Recently the tax upon him
began to tell and for the last two weeks
he ha been under a physician's care. On
May 28 he returned from his last trip In
behalf of that league, from Peoria, and
was compelled to take to his bed. . Last
week at the preat American handicap shoot
Mr. Whitfield by sheer force of will at
tended th days' contest. He 'was on the
verge of nervous prostration and on Sun
day he was out of bis head part of the
time. Nothing serious was thought of his
case, however.
Early this morning he arose and dressed
himself, then, without making any re
mark, stepped to the next room and fired
a bullet Into his right temple. He was
dead when a member of his family reached
him.
Mr. Whitfield's plight U laid to over
work and worry pver financial affairs. He
bad lost heavily on several enterprises In
which he was Interested. Mr. Whitfield
was born In England forty-seven years ago.
He came to Kansas City In 1884, and with
the exception of one year, when he was
proprietor of the Referee, a small weekly,
he has been with the Star since that time.
It is not known here what effect, if any,
Mr. Whitfield's death will have upon the
Western league.. Mr. J. H. Manning and
Mr. Nichols, owners of the Kansas City
club, are out. of, the city, Mr. Manning
being In the, cast and Mr. Nlcols In St.
Louis., ;.HV',,
Barns Acting President,
ST. JOSEPH 'Mo.; April 7. (Special
Telegram.) -W.-TT.' Van Brunt of the 8t;
Joseph team in 4 he Western league, said
today that there was no trouble between
the league members and James Whitfield,
the president. "Th relations were very
pleasant." he said. "We know Mr. Whit
field was very busy at the time the echedula
meeting was held and did not expect him
to be present. All the members of the
league understood his position, and we
knew he could not give the league aa much
time as he would have given under other
circumstances. We were satisfied with his
work, however, and there was no possibility
of film haying any trouble with the league."
Mr. Van Brunt said Thomas Burns, vice
president and owner of th Colorado
Springs franchise will succeed to the presi
dency for the present and the probable
successor of President Whltefleld may be
President Sexton of the Three I league. .
DENVER, April 7. D. C. Packard, owner
of tb Denver base ball club In th West
ern league, when Informed today of the
suicide of James Whitfield, president of tile
league,' said that bis death would 10-no wise
affect the future of the league, whose af
fairs are in good shape. Mr. Thomas Burns
of Colorado Springs, wb was elected vie
president at the league meeting In this city
last month, will become acting president
and it will be unnecessary, Mr. Pack
ard said, to call a special meeting at one
to elect a successor to President Whitfield.
Manager Roarkea Comment.
LINCOLN. April 7. (Special.) W. A.
Rourke, manager of the Omaha team, ar
rived in the city this morning with his
base ball family. On learning of Whitfield's
death be seemed depressed and expressed
the deepest regret.
'Whitfield was a No. 1 fellow," said
Rourke, "and it' too bad. I can't see any
reason for it. There was oertainly nothing
about th league's finances that Deeded to
worry him, for they ar being ably at
tended to by W. H. Van Brunt of St.
Joe. He was waking a good salary from
the association, besides having g good po
sition with the Star. He was given th
place partially because of the grasp he bad
of the Kansas City situation. His death
leaves an Important position to fill.
'I have no idea who will be selected to
succeed him. There are at least three good
men I have In mind, any on of whom
would be acceptable to me. W. H. Van
Brunt, treasurer, would make an excellent
president, but I doubt It w could get him
to take the position, although I believe h
would b almost th unanimous choice.
Then there is M. H. Saxon of Rock Island,
111., manager of the Three-I league. His
name was suggested at th time Whitfield
was elected. I hsv no Idea when a meet
ing will be called. I can see no reason
tor haste, as tb affairs of ths league are
In good condition, and can run along for
considerable time with Mr. Van Brunt
looking after things generally."

LEAGUERS BEAT STUDENTS
Score Wm II to n and Would Have

tanate Frror.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April ".(Special Telegram )
In the opening game of the season to
day the base ball team of the University
of Nebraska was defeated by the Oman i
aggregation of Western leaguers, but the
score, 11 to 8, shows that the playing was
not as much one-sided as tt might have
been. Once the Nebraska team had the
bases full and would have brought the
three men In but for an unfortunate error.
One of the most sensational plays ever
seen on the campus was made by Denutroii,
the 'Varsity star centerfteldt". An Omaha
batter sent tbe ball clear to the north end
of the field, but Deputron nailed it when
the feat seemed almost Impossible. "Bobby"
Oalnes gratified the bleachers by showing
up equal to his last year's form. Townsend
did well at the twirling, but a sore arm
took him out of the game at the end of the
fourth Inning. Thomson, the new Indian
player, succeeded Townsend and barring his
wildness pitched well. Scorn:

MINERS REJECT AGREEMENT

Indianapolis Conference.
STRIKE, THEREFORE, GOES ON UNCHECKED
District tifflrlala of t nlted Mine Work

Come to Their Terms for
a Settlement.
DUBOIS, Pa.. April 7. The district offi
cers of the United Mine Workers and del
egates from the mines of the Rochester
and Pittsburg Coal and Iron company today
rejected the Indianapolis agreement reached
last Friday by their national executive
board and General Manager Robinson of the
Rochester and Pittsburg company.
The conference today between the district
officers, the delegates and Mr. Robinson
was held at Puixsutswney. After Mr. Rob
inson had submitted the agreement resolved
at Indianapolis, which stipulated that the
miners should push cars one way, this be
ing a receeslon from their demand for mule
haulage both ways, the miners refused to
accept the terms and Mr. Robinson finally
stated he had no further offer to make. The
conference, therefore, adjourned and the
strike of 10,000 miners goes on with no im
mediate prospects of settlement.
The district officials say General Manager
Robinson must come to them the next time
for a settlement. " Depression has every
where taken Ihe place of good cheer that
was manifested on the announcement from
Indianapolis Saturday morning of a settle
ment. Policy of lieneral Strike.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 7. The na
tional executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America began a meeting in

the policy to be pursued In the event of a
general strike in the great anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania. There are twenty
three members of the board, representing
an organization with a membership of over
300,000 men. There seems to be a feeling
among the miners' officials that an amica
ble settlement' may be reached before the
expiration of th thirty days' truce declared
by them in order to give the National Civic
federation time to bring about a Joint con
ference between tbe miners and the mine
owners.
Besides preparing for the strike In Penn
sylvania, It IS understood that the board
will give careful consideration to the West
Virginia trouble. Today's session was brief,
practically ho business being transacted.
NEW YORK. April 7. The employes of
the American Can company In this city to
the number of 4,000 went on strike today.
The men struck because they objected to
making out a detailed statement of their
work every day. This was required by ths
company and the employes demanded that
the rule of the company requiring this
statement be changed. When their demand
was refused the men decided to strike.

Operators' Cost.
DES MOINES, April 7. The house today,
with but on dissenting vote, passed a bill
requiring all mine operators io Iowa to
employ shot examiners and flrers at their
own expense. t
It was this demand at the recent con
ference of miners and operators that al
most precipitated a strike. The miners
yielded at that .time, relying upon the
legislature to accomplish their purpose.

calamity, too, that our women, young and

healthy of females In the civlllxed world.
For delicacy of beauty. Intellectual capacity
and for all graces that adorn the sex, they
stand peerless; but It Is doubtful If one In
ten can be found who is functionally and
organically well.
This absence of feminine health and
vigorous vitality is due to a neglect of na
ture's unerring laws. Immediate reforma
tion la neceseary If our nation would have
women who will become true wives and
mothers with an offspring that will prove a
strength to the country.
For the special weaknesses to which
women are now victims, Falne's Celery

up properties of thi marvelous prescription

the medical profession and to the tens of
thousands of women who have hern raised

the true health tint tn sallow nnd bloodless
faces; It gives lite and light to the eyes;
