KANSAS CITY, Mo.', Dee. 29. Judge John
F. Philips, In the United States district
court here today, held that foreign cor
poration haa a right to sua In the federal
court for an Injunction.
The Retail Clerks' vnlon and the Tailors'
union had declared a boycott against the

aldewalk In front of their place of busi
ness. The firm, unable to secure an In
junction In the state courts. Incorporated
tinder the lawa of Colorado and applied to
the federal court as a foreign corporation.
The unions filed a plea setting up that
the court had no jurisdiction, and that
the firm waa not a bona fide Incorporation.
Judge Philips does not rasa upon the
' Injunction feature, but holds simply that
such a queatlon as that corporation ex
ists can be raised 'only by the state grant
ing the charter to the company.
The unions probably will appeal to the
United Btates supreme court.

DISPATCH SURPRISES STRIKERS HERE
I alon Me In Omaha Insist that Their

with Harrlman.
NEW YORK, Ilee. 29. (Special Tele
gram.) The Vfilon Pacific railroad atrlke
conference reported to have been arranged

statement that he did not know of any
such conference, and that If one had been
arranged between Mr, Harrlman or any
other official and repreaentatlvea of the
employes of the company he would be likely
to know of It.
At the ofB.ce of the Union Pacific Railway
company In the Equitable building a mes
sage was sent to Mr. Harrlman asking for
Information regarding the prospective con
ference between him and the leaders of
the labor forces of his railroad system.
The attendant at the office door took the
reporter'! message to an Inner office and
returned the card with this reply written
upon It:
We know nothing here about the re
ported conference with lnbor leaders from
Omaha. (Signed) MILLAR, Secretary.
An official of the Union Pacific aald he
had read the newspaper reports that there
would be a conference today. "Well," he
added, "the other side is doing all the
talking." He refused to explain further.
From another aource It Is stated that the
places are all filled by nonunion men, and
there Is nothing to arbitrate.
James Wilson, business agent of the In
ternational Aasoolatlon of Machinists, said:
"I do not believe there have been any con
ferences yet and 1 believe It would be hard
to find the party. If there can be no con
ference and no settlement the strike will
be extended to the shops of the Southern
Pacific and other roads."
This message creates surprise among the
strike leaders who are In Omaha. They
aver that their representatives were ac
tually summoned to New York at the re
quest of E. H. Harrlman and that the con
ference was slated for Monday. The state
ment has been accredited at Union Pacific
headquarters hers also thst a conference
was to be held In the esst. In fart It has
been given out that that Is why President
Burt did not return to Omaha last week
aa he had Intended. The strikers believe
the conference was held yesterday and that
efforts were made to keep it from the
press. They expect to hear something
definite Tuesday. The four representatives
who left Omaha and Joined President John
McNeil of the boiler makers at Kansas City
are all In New York and are said to be
there for no other purpose than that of
meeting with the Union Pacifio officials at
the Utters' request.

the Pacifio to be operated In connection

ous miners of the country are preparing to
ask for 18 to 20 per cent Increase In wages

states that an Increase of about this figure
will be demanded.
W. D. Ryan, secretary of the Illinois dis

Increase, and Indiana and other leaders ssy
their districts will ask for the same.
The miners last year made a demand for
a straight increase or 10 per cent on a
straight run of mine business,' but this waa
not granted and the old scale was finally
adapted. The last Increase the miners
gained was at Columbus, three years ago,
It was from 15 to 20 per cent.
The miners have bad a statistician at
work for aorae time.

ARBITRATION IS INIM1AR
Germans Bear Plan of Settling Venrnelan
Dispute with DiifsTcr.
MONROE DOCTRINE IS HOTLY DENOUNCED
(Government Mnlntnlna Silence aa to
Vacation ef Raising Blockade of
Porta Pendlnaj Reanlt of The
Hague Deliberations.
BERLIN, Dec. 29. The German govern
ment Is completely silent ss to when the
blockade will be raised, or whether It will
be raised at all until every question con
cerning arbitration la accepted. The ac
ceptance of arbitration after the blockade
was begun Is not received w 1th popular
favor in Germany.
General Von Bogulawski, one of the foremost-
military wrltera, contributed to the
Taglisclie Rundschau his views upon'the
Monroe . doctrine, and argues that the
withdrawal of the blockade at this stago
would show singular weakness. After al
luding to the late Prince Bismarck's ex
pression that the Monroe doctrine "was a
great piece of Impudence," the general
says: -
"That was a true word. America la di
vided Into many states. In varletiea of
race and language ahe Is hardly second to
Europe. How can one state assert that
It baa the right of interference and pro
tection over art entire continent, and that
It will tolerate only under certain condi
tions, however Just, antagonism of
European nations against sn American
atate. A further question Is, how does It
happen that this doctrine set up eighty
years ago by 'an American statesman, has
been able to Justify Itself In fact, with ab
solutely no Justification in the laws of
natlona. When the United Statea feels
herself Injured through any occupation of
territory, of course she has the right,
like any other nation, to raise a proteat,
and, If necessary, employ force.
Moat Sot iteeoa-nlae It.
"But there must be bo talk of even an
apparent recognition, on the part of
European powers, of tho Monroe doctrine as
an international law principle between na
tions. If the latter act otherwise they will
soon feel the thumbscrews which they put
on thereby.
"Through war against Ill-equipped Spain,
American self-importance has been In
creased, ahowtng a diseased character.
Courtesies shown America by Germany
have naturally not diminished that self-
esteem. Certainly the allies shall not be
blamed for sparing the United Statea'
sensitiveness to the greatest extreme and
n. seeking an agreement therewith.
"Regarding the action against Venesuela,
the allies not only did so, but even went to
the length of offering President Roosevelt
the arbitratorshlp after beginning military
action. He refused, and, Indeed, for the
reason that the Justice ot the case of the
allies was so Self-evident that bis decision
could only have been unfavorable'to Venez
uela, thereby damaging the , United States'
popularity vl'.h the other nations of that
hemisphere. "
"Now that t-arllke action has begun, no
thumbscrews can be tolerated as to how
far tbe ' actlcn ',wll! extend. Giving the
United States' binding promises would di
vest the action reforeband of iasttng effect.
If the United Btates raises serious objec
tion against this, she would have to de
termine what neans sre at her disposal to
give validity t her objection.
"President Ctr6 a demand that the pow-'
era raise the blockade and return the cap
tured vesselsmutt meet with a decisive
veto. Otherwise wc shall hate a repetition
of the disgrace of Olmuetx at sea."
The FrankfurteqiZeitung hails Presilent
Roosevelt's resolve as gdod " news, and 1
Praises President Roosevelt for having done
so much for The lague tribunal.
Blockade He Yet Considered.
The Lokal Anzeger prints an Inspired
statement to the effect that nothing Is
known by the Berlin officials regarding
the Intention of te powers to raise the
blockade, adding tlt tbe question has not
yet been taken Intfc consideration.
The Neueste Namrlchten says It hopes
the statement thai Minister Bowen will
represent Veneiueli's case Is not true.
"since the United Sates' action would thua
appear In a bad llht, after refusing arbi
tration and keepltg the biggest hand In
the game In an Irresponsible way,"
The Loral Anxelgtr's Caracaa correspond
ent asked President Castro If he waa read"
to apologtxe to thi pon?r. to wi.r, the
president replied:' 'Seiv Taatro hss
nothing to apologia for."
The bystanders, he correspondent adds,
chcred and should "Bravo!" when they
heard the presidents reply.
The German raer.hants of Caracaa, It is
asserted by the corespondent, say they sre
ready to advance' President Castro the
money to meet thi demands of Germany,
"although they kndr the president Is able
to pay It hlmself.v

South Dakota Mystery Solved.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 29. (Special.) j
The mystery surrounding the disappearance '
of Simpson Watson, a former well-known
resident of Hanson county, more than two
yeara ago, haa Just been solved. Shortly 1
before the election of 1900 Watson an- ;
nounced that he intended making a visit to
Sioux City, but that he would return to !
Alexandria in time to vote. He had not I
been in Sioux City long when he wrote to j
Alexandria and also to Emery, asking that '
hia personal effects be forwarded to blm, I
as he Intended remaining in Sioux City for
a time. The property was shipped to his
Sioux City address, but was never claimed
by him, and ultimately was returned to the
parties In Alexandria and Emery, who had
forwarded It, as requested by the owner.
From that time until now nothing had been
heard of him, the general belief being that
he had been murdered for his money. It Is
now learned, however, that he Is at Cuaphe
ton, I. T., where he Is engaged In mining
and doing well. This Information waa con
tained In a letter to bla father, who, until
Its receipt, was also a firm believer In the
theory that his son bad been murdered, as
this waa the first letter he bad received
from him' since his mysterious disappear
ance. Wilt Ask for a Tardon.
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Dec. 29. (Special.)
Information reaches here that an effort will
be made to aecure a pardon for George Mc
Elwaln, a former resident of Tankton
county, who a few months ago waa sent
enced In that county to a term In tho
Sioux Falls penitentiary for the murder of
a man named Gray. McElwaln is reported
to be In a serious condition, as the result
of despondency. His friends exrress the
belief that the application for his pardon.
In view of hia condition and the nature of
his crime, will be generally signed by the
people living in the section of the state
where he made hia home up to the time he
waa placed in the penitentiary. McElwain'a
imprisonment was the result of an unfor
tunate incident. The man he killed and a
brother attempted to force McElwaln to
drink a glass of wh'sky In a Gayvllle
ssloon. Ho refused and the two men, who
were both large and burly, compared with
McElwaln, set upon him. Fearing that they
would seriously Injurs or kill him, Mc
Elwsln drew a knife snd plunged the blade
Into the abdomen of one of his assailants.
The wounded man afterward died In a
Yankton hospital.
Soldiers Held for Bnrglnry.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 29 -The fourth
session of the annual meeting of the
American Economic association wss opened
today by the dtsruslon of the problems of
lnbor. Henry White, secretary of the
United Garment Workers of America, de
llvered nn address on "The Union Shop."
The dlscuseion was taken part In by Runnel
B. Donnelly of New York, former president
of the International Typographical union;
Hamilton Carhart of Detroit: John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, and John E. George, assistant
professor of economics of Northwestern
university.
The "Alms of Organized Labor" was the
topic of the afternoon session. Frank K.
Fisher of Boston, chairman of the legisla
tive committee of the Massachusetts Fede
ration of Labor, read a paper on "Ideals of
Trade Unions."
Jeremiah W. Jenks, professor of political
economy and politics, Cornell university,
was the chief speaker st tonight's session
of the convention. His topic, "Currency
Problems in the Orient," was discussed by
Charles A. Conant, treasurer of the Morton
Trust, company of New York, and O. Bruce
Webster of New York, agent of the Char
tered Bank of India, Australia and China.
Mr. Jenks' address waa In part aa follows:
Currency Problem la Orient.
The stoppage of the free coinage of silver
In ImllH In ln.1 was the result, not so mueh
of a general business depression cumlng
from the clepretiatlun In the value of ellvrr
an compared with gold, as of Injury to th
government In distinction from the people
and to certain claasie In the community.
Together with this Injury to some claases
went iloulitlesa benefit to others. Tha total
benefit or injury to a country from a
change In Its currency syMetn most be
fmind by noting Its effect upon the different
classes and by eatttnatlng the relative Im
portance of thexe different classea In th
community. In India, for example, during
the period of the fall of sliver the clasa. s
who were producing goods for export,
sixnktng generally, felt a stimulus In their
Industry and made uncommonly large pro
fits. In certain cases doubtless lhl In
crease In profits led to Ineresaed Invest
ment of ciipltHl croiight over from Europe
This Increase In profits, however, wss at
the expense, to a considerable eatent. of
other clnsMes In the community. While pro
ducers for export gained the consumers of
Imported goods lost.
Wage earners received their par In tha
depreciated currency, but In many raa,
owing to the fact that their purehaaes were
mainly of goods which were valued on the
silver standard, they often did not ferl
any loss. The loss waa reallv felt when
the silver rupees naseed on from hand to
hand finally came into the possession of I
those who needed to buy goods valued on
the gold standard. As a matter of fart in
India the government offli lals were In all
prolmlilllty the chief sufferers. The native
people In many rases did not suffer sp
preclably. In special cases, however, the question
of obligation or of Justl.-e might easily lead
one to a conclusion different from that
reached by purely economic reasoning.
Hankers the (ialaer.
In the Philippines, for example, the gain
ers by a depreciating standard are. speak
ing generally, the bankers, who. when their
biiHlneKS is largely an exchange business,
normally gain from severe fluctuations:
also the exporting and Importing business
houses and the comparatively few larg
producers for export. The losers are the
frovernment. whose) taxes would be received
n the deoreclated monev: the eovernmant
official, even though their aalarles are
nominally fixed In gold, end'the very large
body of the native Filipinos whose Income
Is derived from local products and from
wages. The gain from the stimulus o ex
ports, as the 1'hillppinea sre situated, wilt
come In the greet majority of esses In nil
probability rather to the Eurniean pur
chaser snd exporter than to the native
Filipino producer, who Is hlmeelf not In a
position to get the benefit of the falling
exchange.
In order to make the change from th
one standard to the other ss easy snd
beneficial lo the natives as posilbl. It ts
desirable that the coin for common use
In the country should prrferuhly be one
somewhat similar In slse to tha present
Mexican dollar and one approaching It In
value. The essential thing Is that, without
attempting the Impossible In the way of
making over rapidly the hahlts of a people
unaccustomed to commercial tranaactlons.
one should also secure stability of ex
change In foreign dealli.gs In order that
speculation may be avoided, and the In
terests of the people be conserved. The
present bill before congress seem on th
whole to have been well drawn In order to
accomplish these results.
Judge 8. E. Baldwin of Connecticut read
a paper on "American Business Corpora
tions Before 1789."
This closed the business session ef the
convention. Tomorrow will be devoted ta
sightseeing by the delegates.
