An Appeal to United State* Supreme Court. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 10.? The po sition of the United States government In the suit brought against the North ern Securities company, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways and individual officials and directors of those companies was sustained in the decision just handed down in the Unit ed States circuit court of appeals in this city. The case was originally brought In the tlnited States district court here, ibut under a special act of congress was taken at once to the court of appeals, ?which court was to expedite the hear ing and decision of the case in every manner possible. The taking of testi ATTORNEY GENERAL. KNOX, raony in this city and in New York for several weeks, and the argu Kts in St Louis before Circuit Caldwell, Sanborn, Thayer and Devanter took several days. The decision of the court was written by Judge Thayer and was filed in thia -city, where the original action was in stituted. An appeal to the United > States supreme court will be taken im mediately. All four judges concurred in the conclusion of the court. The Northern Securities company is declared to be a combination in re straint of trade and commerce be tween states. It is enjoined from at tempting to acquire further stock of the Northern Pacific and Great North ern Railroad companies, from voting at any meeting of the stockholders of either of the companies, from paying any dividends to itself on account of stock in the two roads and from ex ercising any control whatever over the corporate acts of the two companies. The Northern Securities company is permitted to return to stockholders in either of the two roads such stock as it has received in exchange for its own frtock. Judge George P. Young, one of the counsel for the Northern Securities company, after the announcement of the decision said: "I have no comments to make with reference to the court's decision. Of course the case will be carried to the United States supreme court." Attorney General Douglas was de limited beyond expression. ?I have always declared that the court would rule in this way and have felt confident that the government would win. It is a great victory." M. D. Hunn, one of the special at torneys assisting Attorney General Douglas in the suit against the North ern Securities company, said: "It will do what was desired? leave them nothing to do but to wind up the Northern Securities company. It was suggested that the business might be trusteed, but I don't see how that can be done under the language of the de cision. Of course they can appeal to the United States supreme court, and of course they will, and it is the only thing they can do." Lec'i Sentence Disapproved. MANILA, April 10.?
