1t looks as if the twine monop-
oily would succeed in squeezing the
farmers a good deal this year, in
spite of their kicking. An increase
of from eleven cents to twenty cents,
or more, on several million pounds
ought to satisfy the greed of an or
dinary trust. OF course, mono of the
farmers voted in favor of the tariff
that protects the monopoly with its
high rate on the imported sisal which
is the larger constituent of the twine.
But trusts are mostly private affairs.

Chief Engineer Yong, of the Montana, was instantly killed by a falling boom, which crushed his skull. Nobody else was injured So far as known the Main is not damaged. When the Main backed out of Che hole the Montana began ta sink. Her stern and midships are under water: the bow k above water. There was not much excitement among the Mains 28l passengers. The Main is now anchored about one thousand feet from the wreck. She will come up te port togay. The Montana k valued al S300, ,oo0, and is fully insured in British and American eom- pauies.
