'ihe Unitwl States, at the instance of frvxiiieni Roosevelt, will test the legality of the merger of the Northern Pacific aud Ureal Northern Hallway, through the instrumentality of the Northern Securities Company, and a bill in e?|Uiiy to that effect will shortly l>c tiled. Attorney-General Knox, iu speaking on the subject, said: "Some time ago the President retiuestcd an opinion as to the legality [>f tills merger. ;iu<1 1 have recently given him one to the effect that, in my judgment, it violates the provisions of ihe Sherman act of 1S!?0. whereupon he declared that suitable action should be takeu to have the question judicially determined. "A bill in equity is now in course of preparation and will be tiled within a very short time, which will ask that (he merger effected through the exchange of shares of the Northern Securities Company for share* of the two railroad companies be dissolved and such shares ordered re-exchanged to restore the stocks of the two railroad to rh??ir original holders.

Men who have formed the merger say they do not fear a prosecution under the Sherman Anti-Trust law. It is believed that if in this case the Sherman law should prove to be as defective as officials of the Department of Justice are reported to believe, the President will urge Congress to amend the law. and that it will he one of the sreat fights or the nest Congressional campaign.

When the young men started for the stage crying "Whip thp negro." Wright, who stood at the head of the passageway. pulled a revolver and opened fire on them.

It was miraculous that no one was killed during the fusilade. as n number of men aud women were directly in the range of Wright's pUtol. Another negro, who could not be Identified. opened fire from the wing of the stage, and bullets whistled in every ilirnrtifin. When the firing censed it wax found tliat one member of the company had been shot in the log: Clay Hunter had received a scalp wound and Tommle Walters, Wint Lewis.

When the committee appointed by the Vigilantes appeared with their prisoner outside the door of the Jail a shout of joy went up from the crowd. Wright was half carried and half dragged some distance from the Jail to a tree. One of the number quickly climbed the tree and put a rope over a strong litub which swept out over the roadway. A noose was formed and slipped over Wright's head. Half a hundred pairs of bunds seized hold of the other end of the rope :inu urew ine viciyii mm wit* air.

DECISION AGAINST SCHLEY President Dismisses His Appeal From Findings ol Court oi Inquiry. SANTIAGO A CAPTAINS' BATTLE President Rooaevelt Hay* Neither Simp on Nor Kchley Directed the Fight, Although the Former TV? Technically la Command?He Coadeaina the Loop aad the Reti ograde Moremeat. Washington. D. C.?President Kooscvclt has decided that Hear-Admiral Schley was not in conimanil of the American fleet at the battle of Santiago. In bin decision on the Schley appeal be says Sampson's blockade, foresight and directions made possible the victory, but declares that tlic question of which was in command is merely of nominal character. Technically, he says. Sampson was in command o* the fleet, and Schley, as usual, of the western division. The important fact, the President <leclarc?, is that "after the battle was joined not a helm was shifted, not a sun was tired, not a pound of steam wis put on in the engine room ahonrd any ship actively engaged, in obedience to the order of either Sampson or Schley, save on their own vessels. It wns a captains' fight." Aa to the loop, the President says it wa-? "in fact the one grave mistake made by any American ship that day." Admiral Schley, he asserts. Is entitled to the credit of whnt the Brooklyn did that day. but says he agrees with the "unanimous" finding of the court and condemns the loop, declaring that if the Brooklyn was placed in greater ianjrer by continuing her course so olsn was the Spanish fleet. and "this kind of danger." the President says, "must not lie too closely weighed hv those whom* trade it is to dare greatly for the honor of the flag." While the Brooklyn and the Oregon nre given credit for the destruction of the Colon. the President finds that the Iowa certainly, and the Texas, seemingly. did as much In "hammering" to a standstill the Vlscaya. Oquendo am! Teresa. And in this connection, after an analysis of the action, the President asserts that of the forty Iarg?-calil?ro shots which struck the three Spanish fighting ships, "eleven certainly came from the Iowa." Of Schley'* movements previous to the battle. the President says he erred in the retrograde movement, and "his disobedience of orders and misstatements of facts." hut tiiar it seems if Schley's actions were censurable they have been condoned, hut he should not have been left second in command by Sampson. The decision. Mr. Roosevelt says, is based on a careful perusal of ail the evidence before the courr. and upon statements made by captains in the fight. most of whom say they con>ld red Sampson present and in command, find two of whom say they would have '.aken no orders from Schley. As to the justice or injustice done by President McKinley in recommend Ins Sampson for advance over Schley, the President expresses the opinion that nothing but justice was done, hut cock on to say ihat Captain Clark should have lieen rewarded ?o as great an extent as Wainwrighf. who. he says, in entitled to greater reward than any other, and concludes this paragraph by *n.vlng that neither Sampson nor Schley did anything in itaifie which warranted any unusual reward tor either.

Washington. D. C.?"A pictnre on every page" Is the tcrui by which an enthusiastic student of statistics describes the Statistical Abstract of the Unilod States. Just it?sued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. While solid columns of figures are not looked upon by the average citizen as especially picturesque, an examination of the pages or this publication presents some interesting. If not absolutely picturesque, facts. The gross area of the United Stntes. exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii, has grown from 827.844 square miles in 1800 to 3,005.000 in 1000. nnd the population from 5.308.4S:; in 1S00 to 75.093.724 in 1900. Virginia ranked first in population in-inw. and in iswu tno same State ranked seventeenth. Pennsylvania tins sturdily held her own. having ranked second In population in ISO) and the same In 1900. New York, which was third in 1800, is first in the list in 1000. North Carollua. which stood fourth in rank In 1800. was fifte?nth in 1900. Kentucky moved downward from j eighth In rank in 1800 to twenty-ninth i in 1900: Delaware from seventeenth to i I forty-sixth, while Indiana moved up- > ward from twenty-first to eighth, and i Ohio from eighteenth to fourth. The debt of the United State*, wbleb I In 1S65 was $78.25 per eapita. was in J 1901 $13.45 per capita, and the interest charge which in 1805 was $4.29 per | capita, was in 1901 38 cent* per capita. The lowest rate of interest In outstanding bonds. In 18C5, wns 4 per cent., and of those there were but $90,000,000. against $245,000,000 in 5 per cent, bonds, $1,213,000,000 at 0 per cent., and $071,000,000 at 7.3 per cent., while in 1901 practically one-half of the outstanding debt stood at 2 per cent., and j even those lionds were selling at a pre- j mium in the markets. AnoMier interesting page Is the one ; which shows the condition of the savings banks of the United States in 1901. Deposit* In 1820 were $1,138,576, and the number of depositors 8035; in 1001 the amount of deposits was $2.440.547,885. and the number of depositors 0.107.085: the nverajre sum due each depositor in 1820 was 3131.S0, In J 1001 it was $401.10. In a single table Is the story of the I foreign commerce of the United States from 1800 io 1000. In 1800 the imports were *01.000.000 and the exports $71.000.000, imports exceeding exports by $20,000,000. or nearly 30 per cent.; in 1001 Imports were IS23.000.000 and exports $1,487,000,000. the excess of exports beinj; $0<>4,000.000, or 80 per cent, greater thau the Imports. Imports in r.?ui were nine nine* as great ns in 1800 and export* were twenty-one times as great as in 1800. One section of the abstract divide* the import* into great classes and shows the relative growth of each. Article* of food in 18SG formed 31 per cent, of the imports, and in 11)01. 26 per cent.; manufactures ready for eonsumption in 1880 formed 20 per cent, of the Imports, and In 1001 1G.S per cent.: articles In a crude coudition for use of manufacturers formed 23 per cent, of the Imports iu 1880 and 33.5 per cent. In 1901, showing that manu facfjrers are steadily increasing their Importations of rnw material* required in manufacturing, while in most other classes the percentage of imports is docreasing.
