Strict Quarantine Maintained Between Newport News and the Sol- diers’ Home. NEWPORT NPWS, Aug. 2.—Gov. Wood- fin of the Soldiers’ Home at 10 o’clock to- day gave out the following official state- ment: ““No new cases of yellow fever; no deaths; Situation practically under control,” Many of the best men in Newport News have volunteered and are on the quaran- tine line, which has been increased more than triple in the last few hours. _Assistant Surgeon von Ezedorf, the New Orleans expert, to-day reported to the Ma- rine Hospital Service his arrival at Nore folk en route to Old Point and Hampton, where he will assist Drs. Pettus, Wasdin and White. Hospital Steward Ko)}b also re- ported for duty at Hampton. Acting As- sistant Surgeon Frank Donaldson, an im- mune, was ordered ‘to report to Dr. White at Hampton, to help handle the outbreak in Phoebus. Surgeon-General Wyman is still detained in Washington, attending to the executive work of the service, which has been largely increased by the present excitement. He is not likely to go to the scene of the out- break unless there is a. decided change in the outlook. Gen. Merritt has acceded to the request of Surgeon-General Wyman and the garri- son at Fort Monroe will be sent ,to some lace further north than Batte Point, el. The location has not yet been fixed.

And the beads of perspiration dropped down on the broad blue stripes that crossed higher temperatures _the doctor's spacious bosom, and the little spots that they made on the bars were like notes on a page of music, and one versed in “reading at sight” could have spelled out there the first bar of “‘Warmest Baby in the Bunch!” Dr. Hyatt was right; thqre were several hotter places Tuesday thah St. Louis, For nee the following maximums were re- corded: Tittle Rock . New Orleans Vicksburg ... oe 98 . .96 Concordia, Kan sete Peat Kansas City in the 94 class with St. Paso, Oklahoma City and Springfield, But St. Louis was she hottest place in United States, locality considered—for is farther north than any of those listed lere, And the weather cinched up its belt and Started in to run itself a race Wednesday. It started with a handicap of only 80. Tues- it Was several degrees lower at 7 o'clock, and it made good time going up tube. There are two highs and two lows in the weather game now, and they are keeping things pretty well stirred up. Dr. Hyatt says he may drop a few showers on St. Louis, but he isn’t quite sure. They , May come Thursday. “But, really,”’ says the doctor, ‘it isn’t so warm. No records of any sort have been touched this summer. The season is prace- tically normal.”’ But this is poor satisfaction to the man out in the sun. To him the day is quite warm enough, if you please. ———_— THE WEATHER INDICATIONS. GENERALLY FAIR.

THE MYSTERY ONLY PARTIALLY SOLVED. He Had Pains in His Head and His Friends Believe He Went Away in Some Sort of Mental Distress. al Robert Arrasmith and his 5-year-old daughter Daisy, who disappeared in St. Louis on June 1, have been found. Arra- smith was not murdered and Daisy was not abducted. They are both now at Rising Sun, Ind. They were located there Tuesday, just two months after their disappearance, by Morris Lewis of Ottawa, Ill. Arrasmith was Jiving on a farm owned by Lewis near Belleville when he disappeared. After the authorities and everybody else had given up the search as hopeless he continued it. There was the incentive that Arrasmith owed him money when he went away, but Mr. Lewis was actuated more by his inter- est in the man and a determination to know his fate. He learned that Arrasmith had some rel- atives at Rising Sun, Ind., and through the authorities of that place found out tnat he had opened a bicycle repair shop there, that he had the little girl with him and that a sister of his first wife was keeping house for him. Mr. Lewis, who is now in Belleville, has not decided what action he will take. With the mystery of the fate of Arra- smith and the child cleared away, the mystery of his motive in going away be- comes deeper than ever. A month before he disappeared he had been married to a prepossessing girl of Ottawa, Ill... and had taken ther to a new house he had built for her in the edge of the timber on the Lewis farm. His marriage to her enabled him to have his child Daisy by a former marriage with him, and he seemed to have every reason to be happy. The outlay attending his marriage had caused him to get a little behind in his accounts with Mr. Lewis, but the latter had no disposition to crowd him. Arrasmith had been promising his little — hter he would take her with him to t. care to. “Well, get Daisy ready then,” he said, “and I will take her.”’ He drove away from the house tn the edge of the timber with Daisy sitting be- side him on the seat of the wagon. He left the wagon in Belleville and went to St. Louls.” He did not return and nothin was heard of either he or the child until Tuesday. The team was fourd in Belleville and taken back to the farm. The deserted bride made several trips to St. Louis and after she had done all she could she waited with growing despair at the house in the edge of the timber. The days passed and he did not come and finally, with hove dead, she went back to her people at Ottawa. For some time before he disappeared Ar- rfsmith had been complaining of pains in his head. Those who knew him best at Belleville had unbounded confidence in him and some of these suggested that he may have gone away under mental distress and forgotten all about his wife.

Her personal beauty and her fine volce were making a rich woman of her when of IAllian Russell. last summer she decided to take out her |own company. She was then the star at | Uhrig’s Cave. Some of her friends ad- vised against her risking a tour on her own responsibility, but she had a will of her own, and when the season at the Cave closed she took her company to Omaha, Hubert Wilke is suppos to have had a pecuniary interest in the venture, He was the leading male singer im the company and seemed to share authority with Miss Morton. : After a tour of the west with varving degrees of bad luck, the company went south and stranded in Georgia. Miss Morton struggled desperately to keep the organization together.

Shafter, who gained the title of ‘‘Rear Ad- miral” because he remained many miles in the rear of the firing line of Santiago, calis the men of the First Nebraska who saw such hard service in the Philippines, “skuikers”’ and “riff-raff,’’ he does not add to the military reputation of Gen. Otis or assist the Administration at Washington. Shafter’s denunciation of these returning heroes, who were kept at the front in the Philippines long after their term of en- listment had expired, is called out by the fact these soldiers, with practical unanim- AS CALLED SKULKERS, The war still endures and I do not look for an early termination.’ kivery means at Gen. Shafter’s disposal will be used to stop the mouths of the re- turing soldiers. He has ordered the Judge- Advocate to look up the names of the men who have been interviewed in the San Francisco papers. But it is not probabie that any aitempt will be made to punish any ot the offenders agairst the military rule of lockjaw. Speaking of the interviews, Maj. Groes- beck, the Judge-Advocate of the post here, faid. ‘““he most of the criticisms come from men no longer connected with the army. They are the skuikers that are to be found in all wars. “He can not go to the front, where the brave men are; he can not see the charge and the battle won; he simply sees the rab- ble after the army has passed, These men who are behind are the ones whe aid this pitiable, this despicable business of naying the Administration of Gen, Otis in the Phil- ippines, “DPhey have succeeded in hounding Alger ill succeed | hounding Otis out of the army.” n response to & question as to why the reported interviews were allowed to con- tinue, Maj. Groesbeck said: ‘“These men are about to be mustered out. They are no longer under the command of Gen. Otis. If these men were molested it would simply be placing the cudgel .nto the hands of enemies of the Administration, such as they are even now looking for.

About 600 men of the Utah and Nebraska commands were the guests of the theater and occupied the center of the house. Dur- ing an intermission in the performance cheers were given.for San Francisco, for Dewey and then a voice: ‘“‘What’s the mat- ter with Otis?’ Silence for half a minute, then the sol- diers burst into a tumult of groans and hisses that were heard blocks away.

On the South Sid2 Alone, the Increase of Taxes to Be Paid the City Will Reach $30,000,002 to $50,000,000. —" =... | Special to the Post-Dispatch. CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Chicago's millionaires are on the rack. Undef the new system of (ax assessment they are unable to dodge the law. by the revision of the personal property valuations of the residents along the South Side boulevards the Board of Review will add millions of dollars to the Assessor's figures. A conservative estimate places the addition at $30,000,000. It-will probably be more and it may reach $80,000,000. This, added to the $165,800,850 total of the Board of Assessors, will give for the south*®town the full valuation of $195,000.00 at least, against the $69,639,370 returned. The west town total, closely estimkted from com- p.ete figures given out last night, will reach the $10,000,000 mark for assessed vaiu- ation. Last year Assessor Ryan found but $2,595,080 in personalty. But, striking as are the big totals—re- sulting both from the work of the Board of Assessors and the revisions by the Board of Review—they are completely over- shadowed by the leaps millionaire valua- tions are about to make. ‘Marshall Fie.d will head the list of blue book residents of the South Side with a total valuation of about $3,000,000. This will compel him to pay taxes on $500,000, instead of his schedule of $250,000. Last year he paid on only $21,- VW, P. D. Armour will come next, with some- thing like $2,000,000 to his credit, which will lace for comparison $400,000 in 1899 and in 1898. The assessors thought they had done well when they fixed on 36,000 for the one-fifth item. Levy Mayer will be high in the list, per- haps third. His personal property will go down for $900,000 in round numbers, and $180,000 will take the place of $15,000 assessed valuation fixed by the lower board and the $5000 of one year ago. Multi-millionaires are the hardest hit and im some cases the increases border on the phenomenal. The fact was freely com- mented on to-day that the board of review is evidently giving little or no credence to the sworn statements of the large property owners who have testifled under cath be- fore the board as well as swearing to the truth of their senedules’ filed with the as- SeGssor. Among the very large assessments are those of the Crane company, $1,242,200 full valuation, making the assessed valuation $248,450, against a full valuation last year of $900,000, or $90,000 assessed valuation. Albert Dickinson & Co. exceed their last year’s full valuation by $100,000; ghe Glucose Sugar Refining company pays on $370,000 more full valuation; Louis CC. Huck’'s in- crease {is $50,000; the IlLiinois Steel Co. Its assessed $250,000 full vaiuation, while it does not appear to have been listed last year at all. While W. W. Kitnball paid con $280,000 full valuation last year, he will pay on $500,000 this year. The MoCormick Har- vester Machine Co.’s full value assessment this year is $1,600,000, as against $1,080,000 last year. Morgan & Wright pais on $40,000 last year. This year they will pay on $52,- 6H ). The big National Biscuit Co., with an as- sessment of $90,000 full value, will keep J. B. Crow & Sons Co. before the board of review, which will want to know if 390,000 is all the personal property of the combine of tiscuit companies. Sears, Roebuck & Co., who last year paid on $4,00, are assessed this year on $200,000. The West Chicago Street Rallroad Co. ts assessed this year $41.465,000—nearlvy double its full-value as- sessment last year, Which was $2,870,000. The brewing companies coniribute liberally to full valustions and their increase this year over last year averages 50 per cent. Most of the West Side heehg woweng appear to have escaped taxation last year, but are being assessed this year. Congressman Lorimer is assessed at $32,509 full value an. Mrs. Lorimer at $1440. Congressman-eleci Thomas Cusack scheduled $4365. Of the ‘big men who appeared in person before the board of review yesterday Har- low N. Higinbotham wilh be treated to one of the surprises. Having finally scheduled Nefore President Randal and his brother assessors for $24,485, he told President Up- ham and the revisionists that the had, say, $221,000 worth of corporation stocks, not pur- chased with his own money, however. He is slated for about $500,000. Lest year his full] valuation was $20,000, granting that the south town assessor held to the one-tenth basis. Many af the railway representatives are against the work of the board. ercwhy, wwe only have an office desk and a few chairs in Chicago. How can you assess us on a Valuation of $1000" complained. the representative of an Fastern fast freignt Hn Swell, we're going to do it, anyway,”’ re- plied President Uyham. “You have the ben- efit of police and fire protection, and under this valuation you will only have to pay be- tween $19 and $16. If you ain't willing to pay this much—well, you'll have to pay it, any- way.” And the assessment was marked “©, K.” in every instance. A MIDSUMMER WEDDING. Miss Dick Lard to Mr. Robert J.

LEADING DEMOCRATS SAID TO BE INVOLVED. —_— Senator Cockrell Wi.] Introduc2 a Res- olution When Congress Assem- bles That May Bring Facts to the Surface. Special to the Post-Dispatcu. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—‘If it had not been for Capt. Carter and Savannah Harbor and certain Democratic politicians in Onondaga County Augustus Van Wyck would be Governor to-day.” This remarkable declaration wags made by Joseph J. Wiliett, Presiaent of the Alabama Bar Association, At the Tammany Hall meeting on July 4 last, in the speech in which he siggested Augustus Van Wyck as a political candidate. That portion of Mr. Willett’s speech re- ferring to Capt. Carter was not given to the press at the time, but has received a semi-publicity through the Commercial Traveiers’ Association, which, having re- quested a copy of the speech becaueée of the attack on trusts which it contained, re- ceived a stenographic report embodying the reference to the Carter scandal. - The Trave.ers’ Association has distributed copies of the speech in full throughout the country. The Republican majority in Onondaga County last fall (7000) was a surprise even to Republicans, and had never received an adequate explanation until Mr. Willett’s hint led to an investigation on the lines which he indicated, lt is now declared that: the chief of the “certain Democratic politicians’’ in Onon- daga to whom Mr. Willett referred is John F. Gaynor, Democratic State Commit- teeman, and the party leader in Onondaga, Mr. Gaynor, it is alleged, entered into a deal with Senator Thomas C. Platt by which the defeat of Van Wyck, which was considered necessary by the Republicans for the safety of the people connected with the Erie Canal: frauds, was to be aided by those concerned in the protection of Capt. Carter. That Gaynor was 6us- pected of treachery is shown by the fact that ex-Senator Edward Murphy, a few days after election, at a meeting in the Hoffman House taxed him with the be- trayal of his party. That Senator Piatt has been faithful to some such pledge as is alleged—to protect Capt. Carter in the event that Onondaga went Republican—is shown in the fact that the case ie still held up at Washington largely througy his influence, Because of this charge. against Mr. Gay- nor United States Senator Cockrell of Mis- souri has announced that on the first day of the reassembling of Congress he will introduce a resolution calling for all the papers connected with the Carter case. Senator Cockre!l has received letterse from correspondents throughout the South In- quiring whether or not the portion of Mr. Willett’s speech referring to Capt. Carter was correct. The Senator has influence to keep the Genate from pigeon-holing his resolution, Mr. Amos Cummings of New York will, probabiy, introduce a similar resolution in the House. The friends of Capt. Carter are working with might and main to prevent a decision in the case before next December when the statute of limitations will apply to the charge of conspiracy of which he has been convicted. The partners of Capt. Carter in his big contracts, tncluding John F. Gaynor, B. green and divers other persons, are deeply interested in obtaining this delay. If the decision of the Presi- dent is given previous to the application of the statute of limitations the Government can sue to recover millions paid out to Capt. Carter's contracting company on his personal voucher. The entire Carter case, whether or not the President announces his decision pre- viously, will be given a thorough investi- gation by the next Congress. Capt. Orberlin M. Carter of the United States Army was found guilty of stealing and aiding in stealing upward of $1,600,000 of the money of the people of the United States, That was nearly eighteen months ago. The court-marial which found him guilty was composed of these eminent officers, three of them Cariter’s intimate friends: The President vas Gen. E. S. Otis, now on duty as military commander in the Phil- ippines; Col. Jacob Kline, ‘"wenty-first In- antry; Lieut.-Col. Samuel M. Mansfield, Corps of Engineers; Lieut.-Col. Henry C. Hasbrouck, Fourth Artillery; Maj. Charles A. Woodruff, Subsistence Department; Maj. John B. Myrick, Fifth Artillery; Maj. John lL. Tiernon, First Artillery; Maj. W. 8S. Stanton, Corps of Engineers; Maj. W. S. Patten, Quartermaster’s Department: Capt. Daniel M. Taylor, Ordnance Department: Capt. Samuel M. Mills, Fifth Artillerys Capt. Richard P. Strong, Fourth Artillery; —- Charles G. Penny, Sixth Infantry, and Lieut.~Col. Thomas F. Barr, Judge- Advocate. These men examined not thefts and frauds, but only a part that was easiest and quickest to get at. They found the evidences of theft of more than $1,600,000 so clear, so unmistakable, that they sentenced Carter to dismissal from the army, to five vears’ imprisonment, to publi- cation of his disgrace in the papers of his native town for one year. The verdict of the court-marial was unanimous. Under the influence of Carter’s friends and of the men who were his accomplices and fellow-beneficiaries Mr. McKinley has been trying to find some plausible excuse for letting him off. He has sent the papers from lawyer to lawyer, trying to get from some one of them a technical reason for re- fusing to carry out the sentence of the court-martial. Carter still wears the uniform he has dis- | graced. He still draws his pay. And Mr. McKinley ts still looking for some way by |; Which he can please Carter’s powerful dDack- ers, who are members of the Second-Term ne pi and at the sume time fool the people, Not an excuse, rot an explanation, is put forwaml for the delay in executing this sentence, Mr. McKinley is silent. His friends “decline to talk.’’ His newspuper sujport- ers ignore the case. $5.00 Cincinnati and Return, via Vandalia-C., H. & D. Line, Aug. 12, _re- turn limit including Aug. 14, 1899.

For Many Years He Fought the Iron Mountain Road and Is an Odd Character in Carondelet. In a cell at the City Hospital is William Riley, reputed to be worth $30,000, yet who is charged with the theft of o!d iron, valued at a few cents. He was arrested by a watchman for the Iron Mountain Railroad. When the case came up for trial in the Court of Criminal Correction Tuesday Judge Clark ordered that Reilly be sent to the hospital for observaticn. William Riley is 58 years old and owns the house where he lived, 7816 Riley avenue. He says the thoroughfare was named after him in 1866. Hig real estate holdings in- clude a 160-acre tract of land within miles of Lincoln, Neb., which Riley values at $15,000. In addition the old man claims to have inherited from his father, Austin Riley, a large farm near the town of Clare Morris in Ireland, For nearly thirty vears Riley has been a figure in South St. Louis. ’ every one in that part of the city as ‘“lwo- by-Four’’ Riley. The nickname originated in this way: The Iron ‘Mountain Railroad constructed a track just on the boundary of Riley's property. Objection was made and Rifey declared he would wreck the track if two feet and four inches were not allowed for a drainage pipe. The fight lasted for several years, and though not abselutely victorious, Riley says the railroad mide a concession in his favor by allowing 16 inches for a water pipe. Riley insists that his incareeration Is spite work. “I just picked up a few spikes,"’ he said to the Post-Dispatch, ‘‘which they say is stealing.’’ In recent years Riley has been a hard drinker. GRAIN ELEVATORS TO OPEN Bondholders Again in Possession of Central B, With Web M. Samuel, Sr., Once More in Charge. The Board of Directors of the Consolli- dated Elevator Co. have instructed Presi- dent Henry 8S. Potter to re-open the Central B elevator in St. Louis and the Union Ele- yator in East St. Louis. The decision to continue operations has been made upon the suggestion of the Bondholders’ Protective Association, which has agreed to give an indemnifying bond guaranteeing the expenses of running the ~~ atain if they do not prove seif-support- ng. The Bondholders’ Protective Association is composed of J. . M. Kehlor, H. H. Wernse, H. A. Haessler and Willlam C. Ellis. By the election of Web M. Samuel, Sr.. to succeed Henry 8. Potter on the Board of Directors the association gains control of the company. The company dec ded several months ago to turn its property over to the trustees for the bondholders, having concluded that it would create a monthly’ deficit if it should continue in operation. The bond- holders, however, preferred that the come- pany’s affairs be operated longer on an in- dependent basis and made the indemnify- ing arrangement as the best way out of the difficulty. The Board of Directors of the company has been increased to nine members by the election of William C. Ellis. Secretary Charles A. Cunningham has filed his resig- nation, but the board will not accept it. Grain men think the other elevators of the company will be opened immediately, a condition which they wi!l welcome during the busy season now on. WANTS CONSTABLE ARRESTED.

Shapleigh Hard- / ware Co., sums up his belief in the benefits of the World's Fair in the sentence: “THE FAVORABLE INFLUENCE TO OUR CITY OF A SUCCESSFUL EXPOSITION OF THE MAGNITUDE OUTLINED CANNOT BE OVER-ESTI- MATED.” But, viewing the matter from the standpoint of the prac- tical business man, Mr. Shapleigh addresses himself to the first essential—the completion of subscriptions to the World's Fair stock. He emphasizes the fact that the failure of St. Louis to meet this condition would be of inestimable injury _ to the community. His appeal to all citizens, the doubters as well as the en- thusiastic supporters—who are an overwhelming majority— to rally to the standard of St. Louis and vindicate her honor - and reputation in this matter is irresistible. The argument for unity and co-operation in sustaining the prestige of St. Louis before the world is unanswerable on any ground of loyalty or sound judgment. > A, St. Louis would readily rhyme with Dewey if our esteemed Admiral were to come this far west. » ~~ = ECWIN .V.ARKHAM.

Endianapolis Street Railway Franchises.—The city of Ind'- anapolis was defeated in the attempt to eecure 3-cent fares, but in renewing the street railway franchises recently the city made a fairly good bargain.

It has been published cast that enormous capita! has been put inte the trusts: the movement is backed by billions: that the profits are will be phenomenal, The trust promoters expect to cor- the markets and “milk” the consumer to the utmost Iimit. proclaimed that the success of the trust means the end- of business crises, and that the prosperity we are now oie | with prices wens skyward and sure to continue rising vee: . the trust boom lasts, the workman sees himself, except in a | few instances, left out of the calculation. A “revolution in Se dustry” has been accomplished and it is but natural for the workingman to ask what it has done for him. The 100,000 workers who have gone on strike in the past six months have simply put the question to the trusts, “What is there in monvopoly for us?” ' “We captured one town five separate times, and each time we lost men,” eays a Nebraska volunteer. This sort of thing is ridiculous, but it is not war. ree DISCORD IN THE CHORUS. A discordant note is heard in the cuckoo chorus. Senator Burrows of Michigan bluntly warns the Administration of the dangers attending the fire-and-fall-back war in the Philip- pines. : “Unless this war in the Philippines speedily ends,” he says, “it will become an important political factor, and its continu- ance will make the outlook for Republican success uncertain, to say the least.’’ The conquest of the archipelago whieh, the President de- clared, was made by Admiral Dewey May 1, 1598, has not, in fact, begun. As Senator Burrows points out, we hold Manila and a small bit of the surrotinding territory. Beyond that American authority is not only not recognized, but is held in contempt. The outlook is indeed uncertain for the men who violated their piedges, talked like saints against criminal aggression and yielded to the first temptation to plunge the country into difficulties from: which it may take fifty years to extricate it. The Government has been dragged into this grotesque con- flict at the hidding of self-seeking speculators, who need its power to promote their business enterprises. The game pretty thoroughly exposed, and we may expect other politi clans to echo Senator Burrows’ doubts and scuttle to cover be- fore it is too late. But what will become of the chief offender‘ Will McKinley follow Polk into a richly merited obscurity? is —————- —_##¢ Ingersoll on Machinery.—In one of his famous lectures, In- gersol] treated the question of machinery and the worker in a sympathetic manner, by asking such questions as “Wil! —ese giants (the machines) shorten or lengthen the hours of labor? Will they give leisure for the industrious, or wil! they make the rich richer and the poor poorer?” Enoug!) has been said from this negative point of view. What i wanted is for every large-brained man who deals with the prob:em to suggest some definite method of solving it. a, LL i i ae A BUSINES» MACHINE. The I,ondon Times shows remarkable American affairs. “Alger has run the office as a political machine,” it says “Military posts have been bestowed upon political friends without regard to fitness cr the interests of the country. Dis- honesty and corruption have been rampant wherever ther was public money to be handled. American soldiers wer killed by thousunds on American soil by such agencies as em- balmed beef and scandalous neglect of elementary sanitation.’ This is so near the truth that it can be accepted almost with- out qualification. But the government is not run as/a.‘“‘po- itiical machine’ as the Times seems to think. It ought to be but, unhappily, it is not. The government is being turned into a vast business machine, a sort of annex to various pri- vate enterprises. This is at the bottom of the War Department scandal, the new “colonial policy” and most other modern developments ir public matters. : The political machine is a necessary good: the business ma- chine is an unnecessary evil. The supplanting of the one by the other is the cause of our woes. This is the whole philoso- phy o1 -political corruption.

For many years there has been a desultory fight against compulsory vaccination in England. It now appears.to have become an organized struggle, which is dividing public atten- tion with the battle between ritualism. and its opposite. The Board of Guardians of the important town of Leicester are just now posing as martyrs in the cause of anti-vaccina- tion, having decided to go to jail rather than comply with the order of the Government to appoint a vaccinating officer. Many other boards of guardians have taken stand against compu'sory vaccination, but in cases where they have decided not to prosecute persons refusing to be vaccinated, it has been found that the vaccinating officers, who are doctors, take the matter into their own hands and institute prosecutions. This still further augments the trouble, as these officers are ap- pointed by the guardians andin performing what they conceive to be their duty set at defiance the board by whose authority they hold office. ; It is a difficult situation to deal with and is the more re- markable in view of the fact that vaccination has been gen- erally accepted for years. There seems to be a popular re- action against the vaccine practice on both sides of the water. The people are throwing down some medical bugaboos. = = > i To be at the mercy of a corrupt and incompetent Legisla- ture is bad enough, but when the work of such a body is ap- proved by a Governor elected to protect the State from venal and unjust legislation, the conditions are indeed deplorable. Is the Burrows interview a hint of what is coming? The Senator is one of the men of influence in his party. Is it likely that he would speak so plainly if a retrograde move- ment were not contemplated? — = To make strects and then take no precautions for their pro- tection is unpardonable folly. Bad as our streets are, they would have been less troublesome and dangerous had they been protected from abuse. Ex-Secretary Alger’s confession that he was only a figure- head in the War Department will not raise him in public esti- mation, but it will increase the difficulties of the second term boom. Iron manufacturers are predicting prosperity for several years to come. What do they suppose is to produce a return of hard times? Perhaps the politicians can tell them. —————e- oo _ Ex-Secretary Alger claims he was made a scapegoat. Oddly enough, Lieutenant-Colonel du Paty de Clam was released yesterday for the same reason. oo Gen. Miles finds some joy in life in spite of the persecution he has suffered. He celebrated his friend Alger’s departure by wearing a lovely new uniform. Mr. Hanna wil) hardly undertake to financier out of our large and growing Philippine expenses.

The p.ants in the combinaiion are tne Wounit Vernon (Cou. of Vy OWGdOoury, Md., the Greenwich Co. of New Hariford, Conn., the krank.inviile mi.is of Baitimore, the Laurel mis of salltimore, the Coiumbia MilLs Co. of Coumbia, S. C., and tne Tawassee Fai.s Manufacturing Co. of Talassee Fa.ss, Aa. In obtaining options on some of these plants the promoters of the combina.ion were ob.iged to deposit large cash forfeli.s The holdings of stock in some of the oid are wide.y distributed, and the onsummation of the present project has been more or less delayed by the nece ssity of getting the consent of s0 many difterent per- sons. An interesting problem of this general combination of the principal cotton du_k plants is the future disposition of the trade marks. From time immemorial the cot- ton duck business has been conducted by means of brards. Fach mill had is dis- tinctive brand, and some of these brands have a world wide reputation. In some in- Stances these brands are the personal prop- erty of individua!s and could not be trans- ferred in a saie of the milis. One case is ioned where a shareho der in a certain pant sold his stock to the *‘trust,”’ but in- sis.ed upon retaining his ownership of the trace mark. The ques.ion arises, therefore, whether the new corporation will have to buy his trade mark, paying him a royalty, or discontir ue selling that particular brand of cotton duck. In most cases where plants have been bought for this trust the stocks on hand at the milis and in the stores of agents in New York and elsewhere were not included in the purchases, For fear that the trust may raise prices, retail: dealers In cotton duck have beer placing sime unusually large orders with New York selling agents within the past week or two. - —~-e——- TRUST REACHING OUT.

The desirability of such a coal.ng station in the .possess.on of the United sta.es at the extreme end of South America has been more keenly reaiizged im the iast year that ever before on account of the rapidly increasing trade between the Atlantic and the bacitic and the frequent changes naval vessels are compe.lied to make between the two oceans. The long cruse has been twice performed by the Oregon w thin a year and last winter the Iowa had to be sent around from New York to San Fran- cisco. Emphasis to cently given by the mishap to the cruiser Newark, which, after meeting with head winds in the South Pacific on the way from Montevideo to Valparaiso, had to take re- fuge among the Patagon.an islands with her bunkers exhausted. It 18 believed that tais narrow escape from mishap has led to the revival of the old proposition, which fell through nearly W® years ago, for the concession of a nava) stat.on to the United States in the highest Chillan (aititudes. Theer is already an excellent coal.ng depot at Punta Arenas or Sandy Point in the Strait of Magellan, owned by an American, whose charges for coal, however, seidom are lower than the extraord nary price of $i2a ton. He patriot cally filled the Oregon bunkers there, on that vesse. 8 run, about $11 a ton. The coal depot is use by ships of all nations in cases of extreme necessity, but so far as. possibie it is avoided on account of its expense.

Liverpool opened \&d lower than yesterday's close. True it clused ‘gd up, a fact which was partially responsible for the rise oo domestic warkets. ariy there were advices that the growing cro in Minnesota and the Dakotas had a jerloustt damaged by hail.
