Washington. D. C.?Secretary of War Taft told the Hons? Committee on Insular Affairs of a rebellion that has breken out among the Moros because of a proclamation issued by the Philippine Government abrogating the Sultan of Sulu treaty and prohibiting slavery. General Wade reported from .Manila that a reconnoitring force east of Cottababo, Province of Moro, was attacked by a force of Moros. who rebelled against the anti-slavery law. General Wood telegraphed that the Moro position was shelled and the , Moros were flanked and their outworks taken. Twenty-one old Spanish cannon and thirty-three Lantaka guns, besides large quantities of arms and ammunition were captured in the works which were strong and well constructed. The Moro loss was considerable. There were no casualties on the American side. In reporting this engagement to the House Committee, before which he appeared in the interest of the bill to provide for the more effective administration of civil government in the Philippines. Secretary Taft explained that some time ago he sent a cablegram to Governor Luke Wright, telling him to notify the Sultan of Suiu and the Dattos, who made a treaty with General Bates on August 20. 1809, that the treaty is abrogated and annulled, and that the Sultan and his Dattos have forfeited the annuities which were to be paid them under the treaty, and that they must henceforth obey the laws of the Philippine Government. Secretary Taft took the position that the Sultan of Suiu treaty was a mere modus vivendi, and that it has not been complied with by the Sultan of Suiu. Before Secretary Taft entered upon the duties of Secretary of War Secretary Root directed the Philippine Commission to take up the subject of legislation for the Moros and submit it to Washington for approval. The object ?'. >?- +/\ ntrar with nolvc.imv and I slavery and introduce a form of trustworthy government in the Moro country. As the Moros are Mohammedans, there is more than ordinary difficulty in governing them. It has been said that our success thus far has been due to an understanding with the Porte under which the pilgrims to Mecca have been influenced every year to go home and counsel good will toward the United States. UNION "MEN BANISHED. Telluride Citizens' Alliance Gets Rid of Trouble Makers. Telluride. Col.?Between sixty and seventy-five members of the Telluride Miners' Union and sympathizers who were recently deported, but who returned when the militia were called away, were forcibly taken from their homes and boarding bouses by 100 armed members of the Citizens' Alliance. They were then put aboard a specially chartered train and deported to Ridgway. The men were warned individually and collectively after they were forced into the two cars of the train never to return to Telluride on pain of death. To >ke this warning more impressive the .Alliance members fired a number ol' volleys at the departing train. The decision to deport the unionists and their sympathizers was reached at a recent meeting of the Alliance. This meeting was largely attended. The strike situation was discussed and it was the consensus of opinion that something radical must be done. The running out of town of the union agitators and their sympathizers was finally suggested and promptly agreed to. FRAUD IN ARMY PAY ACCOUNTS.

IRISH DEFEAT BALFOUR British Ministry Beaten in House of Commons by Eleven Votes. Premier Declines to Accept Result a* a Cause For Resignation?Coup Plannnil hr Liberals. London. England.?Mr. Balfour's gov ernment was defeated in the House of Commons by the combined Liberal and Nationalist vote. This reverse was due to the prohibition by Mr. Wyud- i ham. Chief Secretary for Ireland, of the teaching of (Jaelic in the junior grades of the Irish Nationalist schools. Mr. Balfour, though defeated by a majority of eleven on this question, does not regard the vote as one of want of confidence, and he will not resign on this account. This determination was strengthened by the fact that shortly after the foregoing defeat he was able to secure a majority of twenty-five.

I It is learned that the Premier reI gards it as one of the essential principles of his party to keep the reins of government, at least for the present. What he may do after Easter still remains in doubt. The blow administered makes the Premier's task of holding his party together doubly difficult, and many supporters of the Government frankly said that they favored j an early dissolution of Parliament j rather than again undergo the humil- j iation experienced. By a curious coincidence the only j other defeat suffered by the Unionist j party since Lord Salisbury came into 1 power, and which endangered the ex- ! istence of the Government, occurred ' nearly eight years ago, on Sir Thomas Esmond's amendment to Gerald Bal- | four's Land Purchase bill, when it j again fell to the lot of the present chief whip of the Irish party to declare the Government in'a minority, which on that occasion was one of only four i votes. ... . ??!. ^.i y tiT j STRIKE RIOTS IN CHICAGO, j I Drivers of American Can Company Stoned and Dragged From Wagons.

The j first disturbance was in the North Side i of the city at one of the stables of the Can Company, several men being in- ' jured and two pickets arrested. Two pickets were doing duty in the 1 neighborhood when six teamsters at- | tempted to leave the stables with j teams. The pickets by signals sum- , moned about twenty helpers.

I Uirn MEM ILLEGAL | i Supreme Court Decides Northern | Securities Company to Bp a Trust. DECISION IS VERY SWEEPING Broad Principle Laid Down That Such i Comljinationi Are in Restraint of Trade?Judsuient of the Circuit Court ; in Favor of the Government Upheld in All Respects. Washington. DC.?The United States Supreme Court handed down a decision in favor of the Government j against the Northern Securities Company. The court stood five to four, Justice | Harlan's decision being concurred in j by Justices Brown, Brewer, McKenna j and Day, while the Chief Justice and j Justices White, Peckham and Holmes i dissented. Ia a majority opinion, read by Mr. Justice Harlan, the court upheld the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, from which the Northern Securities Company had appealed. This judgment decided the $400,000,000 merger to be illegal and in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust law, and enjoined the company from acquiring any more stock of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads, and from voting on the stock it held, permitted it to return such stocks to the original stockholders and enjoined the two rail, roads from paying any dividends on such stock to the company or permitting the company to exercise any control over the affairs of the two roads, j The time had come, Justice Harlan said, when the public needed to be protected from the ehcroachment of great combinations of corporate fbterests if the Government was to remain a Government of the people. f jusuee tiarian saiu uiai in rue ijucd* ger of the two roads the stockholders disappeared, and reappeared in the Securities Company, the two thus becoming practically consolidated in a holding company, the principal object beixg to prevent competition. I "No scheme or device," he said, "could certainly more effectively come j within the prohibition of the anti-trust law and it is within the meaning of the act a trust." The case was argued in December last for two days, and attracted general attention at that time, as it did previously when the decision was rendered by the Circuit Court for the District of Minnesota. The majority decision is far reaching. It does not sustain a single contention of the Securities Company, and does not sustain any one of the many errors alleged against the lower court. No suggestion for the foundation of another merger is made by the court The company is told plainly that the law of Congress is supreme, and the only thing railroad men can do to ob taill reiivi K> IU ua i ct wusago the law.

BOTH SIDES SUFFER HEAVILY Detail* of the Cireat Fight?Admiral Togo Now the Popular Hero of Japan? Kuasinn Forts Damaged?Work of Japanese Gunner* Wat Very Effectlre? A Long ltange Duel. London.?A news agency dispatch from Tokio gives interesting details of the last fighting at Port Arthur. Admiral Togo's torpedo flotilla opened the action by steaming in boldly under the Datteries ana successiuuj placing a number of mechanical mines in the mouth of the harbor. Then a desperate encounter took place between the destroyers on each side. A long range duel between cruisers ensued, ending with the retirement of the Russian cruisers Novik and Bayan. The concluding phase of the operations was the bombardment of the inner harbor by the Japanese battleships. They took up their position southwest of Port Arthur, using only their twelve-inch guns. There are twenty-four such in the six battleships composing the squadron. Each gun tired five rounds, a total of 120 of the huge projectiles hurled into the city. Captain Asai was the hero of the attack. He commanded the three Japanese destroyers and attacked the six Russian destroyers, ordering his craft to close in with the enemy. The order was carried out to the letter. The boats steamed so close up to the enemy's vessels that they almost touched one another, fighting desperately. until the Russians retired, badly disabled. Engineer Minamisawa, of the destroyer Kasumi, was mortally wounded. He took part in the first attack on Port Arthur, and also in the attempt to close up the mouth of the harbor. On both occasions he was mentioned for gallantry. Admiral Togo's purpose in sending cruisers to Talienwau Bay was to destroy a signal station and mine depot. This was duly accomplished. The details of the operations evoked intense enthusiasm. Togo is now permanently numbered among the heroes of the empire. The latest reports state that the Japanese lost nine killed aud five seriously and seventeen slightly wounded. The fleet was undamaged. A decoration equivalent to the Victoria Cross has been bestowed by the Mikado upon Engineer Minamisawa, of the destroyer Kasumi, who was mortally wounded in the fight PREDICTS LONG WAR. Minister Hayashi Says Russia Cannot Keep Manchuria. Paris.?Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese Minister at Londou, has been interviewed by a representative of the Patrie. In replying to the suggestion that it was England that launched Japan into the war in order that she and the United States might reap the fruits of a Japanese victory, he said: "We do not need any one's help. We are not going to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for any Power. We want China to be open to all. We shall not allow preference to be given to any one. We want the open door. It is Russia that bars the way. "For the moment this task suffices. But if ever a like danger arose through the action of another Power, we should not hesitate to take the same steps to put an end to it. Even if victorious. Russia could not reap the fruits of her victory; because in four or five years Manchuria would not maintain its position with regard to China. It would be the same if any nation tried to exclude the other Powers. "China is waking up. and when her 400,000.000 people have realized their strength, they will not long submit to any Power. "No concessions are possible on our part, unless Russia evacuates Manchuria. I think the war will last a very long time." Russia's Losses.

The reoort stigmatizes tli<> conditions In the Territory as involving "immediate danger of ruin to the genuine Iudian population and profound discredit to the United States, exciting reasonable discontent on the part of all classes of the population and demanding prompt and drastic remedies on the part of Congress." The report says that the connection of Tarns Bixby, Chairman of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes, with the Canadian Valley Trust Company, should terminate immediately if he is to retain his Commissionership. His investments in what are known as "possessory rights" in town site lands are stamped as yet more objectionable. Indian Agent Shoenfelt is exonerated from all the charges made against him.

The report states that many trust companies operating in the territory are "little more than associations of individual grafters whose questionable . operations are the more objectionable because the discredit the reputable corporations." In transmitting the report to Congress the President says: "In accordance with the recommendation of Messrs. Bonaparte and Wood, ruff, the members of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes have been informed that if they are to continue in the service they must cease all connection with business operations of any kind in the Territory where it is possible that their official positions could be of any effect upon their private business, even though no such effect be in fact shown."
