Can the record of tragic deaths of
men in high places that have oc-
Cured in the past quarter century
be matched by any previous period?
First. the assassination of President
Lincoln; then the execution of Maxi
milan in Mexico; the dethronement
and death Of Louis Napoleon, in just
retribution for Maximilian's fate;
suicide Tor murder) of Sultan Abdul
ASH and the assassination of his
ministers at Constantinople; the
assassination Of Gar Alexander at
st. Petersburg; the death in battle
of the ex- Prince Imperial of France;
the assassination of President Gar
field; the painful end of General
Grant; the madness and suicide of
KING Ludwig of Bavaria; the death
of Emperor Frederick III. of Ger
many, under similar circumstances
to that of General Grant; and now
the suicide of Grown Prince Rudolf
of Austria. 1t may well be asked in
high places with trembling lips. if
the gloomy list is to include other
names ere long.-Boston Herald.

ard Oil Co. was organized. to 1878,
the year before the pipe line was
laid, the price Of refined oil fell 1887
cents per gallon. From the laying
Of the pipe line to the organization
OF the trust in 1881. it fell 2.S2 cents
per gallon, and from the organiza-
ton of the trust to 1887, it fell 40
cents per gallon. Thus through the
economies introduced into the pro
duction and transportation of petro
leHm since 1871, the price of refined
oil has been reduced 17.49 cents per
gallon or p per cent, being a saving
to the consumers, IN the 99S, 953,011
gallons of refined oil last year alone,
OF S174,716,8S1."
cannot repeat the unanswerable
proof of the writer, that after de-
Quoting all other causes which may
have contributed to this vast gain to
the consumers. there still remains
SS5.4 10,482 as the results of the eff
forts Of the Standard Oil Co, and
still we are told that trusts tend to
advance prices to consumers. The
authorities on these subjects are the
reports of the New York Chamber
of Commerce and Produce Exchange.
Prof Dwight says: In the pre-
ceding number Of the Quarterly Ger
tain aspects of the trusts We're con
sidered. 1t is the object Of this
paper 10 consider solely the question
of their legality" He asks: l" Is
the object sought to be accomplished
by a trust legal by common law,
either by agreement of individual
producers not acting as stockholders
IN corporation, or by agreement of
stockholders ? IF the end be le-
gal, how far viii it be possible for a
State Legislature to prohibit it? g
What is the power of Congress to
legislate on the subjects"
He ably and fully discusses the
subject and in closing his article
says: 1T Is not to be credited that
we shall commit the supreme folly
Of resorting to mischievous legisla-
ton fully tried and long since
abandoned" But l must not pro
long my extracts from these able
and interesting and convincing arti-
Giles I would that your readers
could read them all, but l am per
suaded that trusts and combinations
of capital are the cause Of great
good, and tend to general prosperity,
though no doubt they are not free
from incidental evils.

French Interestsin in Occanica.

PARIS, Jan. 21.-In the deputies today
Bishop E'reppel asked what measures the
government was taking TO protect the posi-
tion of France in the Pacific, especially with
regard 10 Easter island, which is reported TO
have been ceded to Chill. Although the
group belonged to rahita, England had an
neXed two of those islands. Did the govern
ment regard this annexation as final, and
what action was intended in view of recent
English annexations in the Cook group:
Admiral Krantz, minister of marine, re-
Piled that the admirals OF the navy had been
consulted and all agreed that 1t was useless
to retain Easter island. AS for Cooks
island, it had never belonged to France.
Regarding Longway, the government held
that England had no right to retain the two
islands which she had annexed, although the
islands really possessed no Importance.
Bishop Freppel maintained the Importance
of Easter island. Besides the annexation of
Longways, he said the British had neglected
no opportunity to deal Il blow at French in
tiuence IN Oceanca. The government was
either ill-informed or wanting in frmness.
France had abandoned Egypt and the New
Hebrides, and the colonial administration
was again showing negligence and inca
pacty.
The minister of marine, in responding main
tanned his ground, adding that France must
claim the whole of the Tahta group. But if
they were not surrendered there would be
no reason for declaring war against Great
Britain, as national honor was in no wise
concerned

AN OPERA HOUSE BURNED.
The st. Paul Grand a Total Loss
The Elnmcs Spreading.

ST. PAUL, Miun., Jan. 2l-Shortly after
7:30 this morning fire was discovered in the
Grand opera house. BY S o'clock the fire
had gained such hcadway that there was no
hope of saving the building. Miss Helen
Barry's company are filling an engagement
there this week, and their effects will be a
total loss.
The fire originated in the gentle
mems coat room during the alb
sence of the night watchman. At
g:20 the building was complete ruin. The
roof of the Fourth street entrance has fallen
and the inside of the house is in ruins.
The building was erected by Commodore
Davidson, and was worth 100000. 1t is fully
insured. The trunks and scenery of the
Helen Barry company had not been carried
into the theatcr, and were consequently safe.
The building is surrounded by other build
ings so that the depa partmcnt cannot get at II.
Nothing but the walls are left standing, The
top of the court block adjoining is atire, and
the flames are inaccessible.
When the fire started the entire fire de-
partment was called out The mercury was
then fourteen degrees below zero, and the
water fro2e almost as fast as 1t could be
thrown from the hose. The Grand block,
adjoining the opera house, soon caught fire,
and the occupants of that building hastily de-
parted The occupants of the Court and
Frost blocks were also driven away by the
approach of the flames, but II is thought that
those buildings will not lose much by the fire,
although the loss by water will be consider
able. Both of the afternoon dailies are
crippled by the loss of power, which was
situated in the basement of the opera house
block The opera house was originally
built at a cost of 100000, and recently was
ance is only about $4,000. The flames were
under control by II o'clock.

A CowARD's POLICY.
Senator Frye Denounccs Clcyeland's
Treatment of Samoa.


WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Frye, of
Maine, in an interview regarding the Samoa
question said: when we made out the treaty
with Samoa islands we distinctly asserted
that in the event of trouble bet veen them
and foreign powers, we would exert our
good offices in their behalf. Yet. when their
hour of trouble came, we allowed them to
be dispoiled of their lands and shot down
like beasts of the field without raising
hand to prevent it. II |
had my way congress should instruct Prcsi-
dent Cleveland to restore the former status
at once. If Germany refused, then we should
compel her, think. Firm, decisive action
is all that is necessary. | do not believe that
war would follow. There is no nation that
cares to go to war with us. So long IA they
can accomplish their purposes and defraud
us OF our own rights through the medium of
diplomacy, they do not need to, but under no
circumstances should we avoid war by
weak and pusillanmous policy"

FORCED TO USE THE SCOURCE
Corrigan's Proclamation Reluctantly
Read from Catholic Pulpits.
M'GLYNN DEFENDS HIMSELF
lie Says the Archbishop Has Been
Grossly Impcrtincnt and Talks
OF Ecclesiastical Lust
for Power.
Unwilling ScrNnnta.

New SoRK, Jan. 2l.-ISpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. The proclamation of Arch
bishop Corrigan against McGlynns anti
poverty society bids fair already to stir up
another mess of trouble for his grace. Rev.
Father Duccy, of ST. Leo's church, in read
ing the document at mass yesterday, threw
all the sarcasm he possibly could into his
voice when he announced that this commu-
niCation has been sent to me with an order to
cause it to be read" In the delivery
of the proclamation he so intoned
his voice in reading the significant passages
that an almost perccptibo ripple of laughter
ran through the congregation. At its con.
clusion he said with intense emphasis:
1--WE have heard the word of man; now
let us hear the word of God, ~ and turned TO
the gospel. At nearly all the other Catholic
churches the priests read the proclamation
without comment.
DIR. McGlynn never had a larger audience
than confronted him last night The regular
attendance of nnti-povcrtyites was ro-cn-
forced by large numbers of strangers who
came expecting to hear something unusual
from the communicated priest. He re-
ferrcd 10 the archbishop's interference with
asociety which does not claim attlliation with
his church, rs gross piece of impertncnce.
Taking up ecclesiastical history, he asked
how it was that millions of men hated the
name OF pope, bishop and priest, and an
swerod that it was because of the crimes and
blunders Of the ecclesiastical machine. He
dwelt, as he has often done before, on
what he termed, "the insane lust of
power and wealth of bishops and priests"
and attacked the temporal power of the pope.
He rdiculcd Mgr. Pcrsico, the papal envoy
to Ireland, and said Sir George Errington
event to Rome to do the dirty back stairs
work of the English Catholics.n He de-
nounced the attempt of the vatican to have
papal delegate recognized ut Washington,
and referring to the intermediary work OF
the bishop of Fort Wayne in this direction,
said the bishop expected TO be rewarded "for
this dirty un- American conduct.n His re-
marks were loudly applauded.

THE WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS
Twcnty-First Annual Convention OF

WAsHlNGToN, Jan. 2l.--The opening session
of the twenty-tirst annual convention of the
Woman's Suffrage association was held in
this city this morning. Among those pres
cnt were Susan Is. Anthony Clara B. Colby,
of Beatrice, Neb., editor of the Woman's
Tribune; Clara b. Wright of Indiana;
Abigail Scott Dunaway, of Oregon;
Miss Lucy Anthnoy, Senator Blair
A. G.. Riddle, Fred Douglas and several 9TH
crs prominent in the woman suffrage move-
ment. In the absence of the president Miss
Susan b. Anthony presided.
Miss Anthony was followed by Riddle and
Senator Blair. The latter referred in ords
of high commendation to the recent work Mt
ing our public schools" ana thought that the
republican party should make itself tho
champion of this great movement. and
should make universal suffrage an important
plank in its platform.
y resolution was adopted providing for
committee to mcmorialize congress to the end
that women might be recognized and allowed
to participate in the ceremonies of the COM
ing centennial celebrations.
Rov. Olympia Brown, of Wisconsin, spoke
upon the subject of "foreign rule" While
not opposed to foreign immigration, she
thought it a mistake to confer upon foreign
ers advantages which are not given to native
born people. Foreigners We're allowed to
vote too soon after reaching this country.
A committee was appointed, of which Miss
Anthony was made chairman, to meet a like
committee from the American Woman Suf-
frage association, with n view to the ulti-
mate union of the two associations.

STREET COMMISSIONS.
The Evils of Rate Cutting Directly
Traceable to Them.


CHICAGO, Jan. 81 Special Telegram to
The BEE. -"The temporary understanding
to maintain rates is weak in various ways"
said General Passenger Agent Eustis, of the
Burlington to-day. "Some of the roads
thought there was nothing in the agreement
to prevent the payment of what are called
street commissions. These commissions are
those paid to any outsider bringing trade to
the road. According to experience and also
according to Judge Cooley, street commits
sions inevitably lead to cut rates and there
fore to discrimination. AS matter
OF fact, have just been looking this up and
have plenty of evidence of discrimination
AT Denver bought tickets to Chicago over
the Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific and the
Rock Island. In every case the rate varied
from 81 to 81 below the regular tariff. To
day bought Rock Island ticket TO Denver
at IA reduction. This proves beyond all ques-
tion that rates are being cut In every case
the cut is traceaDle to street commissions.
OF course this must be stopped, and the
agreement will have to settle the matter if
the members expect to accomplish anything"

BROKERS' DUTIES
As Defined BY the Supreme Court of
the United States,

the United States.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-An opinion of in
terest to stock brokers was rendered in the
supreme court to-day in the case of William
G. Galigher, appellant, VS. Thomas r. Jones,
an appeal from the supreme court of the ter
ritory of Utah. The case turns up on a loss
sustained by Gallagher through the refusal Or
neglect Of his broker, Jones, to follow in
structions in a stock transaction. The court
holds that the broker is but an agent, and
that ne is bound to follow the directions of
his principal or give prompt notice that he
declines to continue the agency. 1t there
fore decides that Jones is liable for damages
for not notifying Gallagher by telegraph that
he would not convert certain stocks into
other stocks. as he was ordered to do. The
measure of damages which should be
awarded was the advance in value after the
order to buy had been given. The court
holds this should be the highest intermediate
value which the stock attains between a rea-
sonable time after the notice of failure to
buy. The decision of the lower court in
favor of Jones is reversed.
