to The Bee.l A new force has entered
the field and for the moment almost driven
the unionist party o(t It. That force has
rot pronounced Itself upon any of tha
Issues before the old parties. It has been
concerned solely with thn primary work
of asserting Itself and such issues, as It 1
really eager about, are either new living
political questions or ure old questions pre
sented In a new form. The Immediate busi
ness of the political leaders is to attempt
to understand that new force which will
grow even stronger than It Is at present,
and to settle the general relations of
Unionism and liberalism with the labor
party. The beginning of wisdom In pres

consider what is the. program of labor In
order to determine what the lahorites
, really want to happen, j
The lulior paity has u striking policy of
economic reform, which la nothing less
than' stste socialism, or the nationalism
of the mcens producing all wealth. The
labor party ruthlessly pushes the question
of free trade aside, as of minor importance,
and demands the "ownership of the land
by the people." and the consequent eboll
tion of the "landlord rlnss."
Socialism Is not a iie-risny iiialiflratfnn
for a labor representation committee can-
dldate. but the Inspiring force of the labor
represents tlon committee is socialism, and
the propagandists of the party are such
a; capable socialists as Mr. Philip Snowden
and Ir. Ramsey Mel'onald.

The government, of Brazil, though en
couraging Immigration from all quarters,
has become really alarmed ut the growth
of tho German idea in certain provinces
and It is said that efforts will be taken
at once to offset this great immigration
with an even gr-ater Immigration from
Portugal, Spain nd Italy. What has

the half million of Teutons had been scat

the trouble Is thnt in tho main they have

that German has superseded Portuguese,

Said one of the leading merchants of

"Of course, I know what your civilization

ity of nations and that its Influence on the

lower orders must be whipped Into line

These points hsve all come out In con
nection with the discussion which has been
going on as to whether the Japanese gov
ernnient Is really behind the Chinese boy
cott of American goods. It may be said
right here that there Is no evidence to
substantiate the widely circulated reports
that the Japanese government is behind
the Chinese boycott.
Japs Aid Boycott.
It Is perhaps true that the Japanese news
paper men, Japanese priests, Japanese stu
ents, as individuals, have taken a hand
In fomenting an antl-forelgn and anti
American feeling throughout the Orient.
And It may be that persons In the employ
of the Japanese government, acting as In
dividuals, have been foremost In the boy
cott agitation. But this Is not because the
Japanese government has wanted this to
be done. The Japanese government natu
rally regards China as a great field for
future Japanese commerce, but It believes
! nat proximity to th Chinese markets and
the subsidization ot Japanese-Chinese
steamship lines is all that Is necessary to
enable Japan to compete with the other
nations ot the world. Hence the real lead-

TWO GREAT TR NouN i INENTAL LINES
Ureat Xorthern and Unrllngton to Be
Amalgamated and .Northern Tactile
and Milwaukee to Form
tho Other One.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. vtpeclal Telcgnun)
It wus disclosed today that one ot the
most gigantic trutis-continental railroad
deals ever made is being formulated. It
means the consolidation of the Northern
Pucillc, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
and Great Northern and Burlington Into
two great Uans-contlnental lines. It also
means the shutting out of the llarrlman in
terests on the north Pacillc coast. It ulso
means a desperate light between the lour
lines ineiuioned and the Harrimun lines.
As outlined today by an authority of un
questioned integrity, tho situation Is as
follows:
The undertaking involves two separate
transactions. They have been In tho minds
of the promoters for several years. The
proposal means two of the greatest railroad
systems lu the world. The Great Nortlicrti
with Its 120,K).000 of iron ore and sale
rights to its own and Burlington stock
holders, amounting to J5o.C0P.000 more, will
cement these two roads Into one vast
double track system to the coast. The
Northern Pacific system, whose stock is
actually worth 800 on the basis of Its earn
ings, may easily devote $l00,000,0u towards
the purchase of the stock of the Chicago,
Mllwuuk.e & St. Paul, now extending to
the Pacillc coast, practically paralleling the
Northern Pacific. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul will tind it more convenient at
points along the route to use the Northern
Pacific tracks. Indeed a conference already
has been held between officials to this end.
Details of the Plnn.
A railroad attorney, whose business
brings blm In touch with the financial end
of all these roads, declares that affairs
are so shaping that one can reach no
other conclusion, and he predicts within
two years at least or possibly sooner the
four roads mentioned will t hsve become
two great transcontinental lines by the
process worked out by James J. Hill.
The nttnrnev rierlnres his belief In the .
,mmil.m of this scheme be- I

cedent for Order Asked
Against Rogers.
ST. LOUIS. Feb. lO.-Attorney General
Hartley today forwarded to Judge Gilder
sleeve of the supreme court of New York
City a certified copy of the decision of the
United States court of appeals In the case
of the Ooasglae Manufacturing Com puny
ngtlnst William Ichner, which Involves
the precise question that Is pending before
Judge Glldersleeve in the Standard O!!
company case.
The decision Is favorable to the conten
tion made by Mr. Hadley In the Standard
Oil case. The opinion, written by Justice
Sanborn, sets forth:
It is not the duty of an auxiliary court
or Judge, within whose Jurisdiction testi
mony Is being taken In a suit pending In
a court of another Jurisdiction, to consider
or determine the competency, materiality
or relevancy of the evidence which one of
the parties seeks to elicit.
It is the duty of such court or Judge to
compel the production of the evidence, un
less the witness or the 'evidence Is priv
ileged, or it clearly and affirmatlvel" ap
pears that it would be an abuse of the
process of the court to compel ita produc
tion. Movemeafs of Ocean Vessels Feb. 10,
