Congress Warner Tells Us We CAM

WASHINGTON, May Representative
Warner of New York, who secured the
says it will be futile to attempt to
strengthen the Sherman antitrust law in
order to make it reach the sugar trust
and like organizations.
Attorney General Olney's recent report
to the senate stated that he had prose-
cuted the sugar trust, but the case had
been decided against the government in
the various lower courts and was now
pending in the United States supreme
court.
Speaking of the report Mr.. Warner
said: cit has been suggested that con-
gress should amend the law as to give
the attorney general greater power and
overcome the objections of the courts.
This plan was with view to instituting
a general crusade against the trusts. [
advised against any amendment of the
law as | think it would amount to moth

at is absolutely impossible to so frame
an antitrust law as to anticipate all the
devious ways of trade combinations. You
can readily make your laws strong
enough to deal with trusts as now
formed, but as soon as the law
Is made the trusts change their
plan of organization SO as to take them

over it would be difficult to amend the
trust law to meet the decisions of the
court Those decisions turn mainly on
a question of fact, they holding that the
law is against monopolies formed in re-
straint of trade, but that the showing
that the sugar trust has combined to con-
troll the market is not such a showing of
fact as will bring the concern within the
terms of the law. With such jug-made
law in existence it is useless to pass
antitrust amendments, as the trusts will
reorganize to meet them"

A New York DIspa That Says Gold
shipments Should've Cause Alarm.
NEW YORK, May 24-There is no let
up IN the export movement of gold. This
morning it was announced Lazard Freres
will ship $1,O00,OO0; Laden burg, Thai
man q Co, $50O,OOO and J. w. Seligman
81 Co., $3,OOU.OOO
This makes total of $3,1OO,OOO thus
far this week, and as exchange continues
as strong ever the bankers generally
look for further OutgO Saturday.
The causes for the depletion of this
country's stock of yellow metal are, first,
the light supply of commercial bills
against export of products to Europe,
and second, the fact that money can be
employed to better advantage on the
other side than here. No apprehen-
sion is felt about the loss of
gold. Those usually well in
formed aver all the gold now
being forwarded will be shipped back
later in the season, as the balance of
trade is largely in favor of the United
States.
The New York banks are very strong
in reserve, but the treasury free gold is
being rapidly drawn down, and is now
at the lowest point since the government
foated its $5O,0O0,00 loan. Heidelbach,
Ickelheimer & Company will ship $4,000
ounces of silver to Europe on the steam
ship Columbia today.

When the Santa Fe passenger train
pulled out of Atchison for this city yes
terday morning, it had a half-fare pas
senger for Parnell in the person of an
11-year-old boy. The train does not stop
at Parnen regularly, and ran past the
station for nearly mile. when the con-
ductor thought of the boy. He at once
search failed to reveal the lad
The train was then backed to ParnelI,
where Postmaster ShuItz informed the
crew that the boy alighted from the
train when it passed the station, al
though it was running thirty miles an
hour. He was thrown down. and his
head injured, but he struck out at once
for the farm of a man named Kelley,

THE WORLD is DIVIDED.
The Standard OIL Trust and the Russian
Are About to Combine.

New YORK, May "a The World
says today: The two greatest monopo-
lies in Christendom, the Standard Oil
trust of America, and the Russian Oil
trust of Russia, are about to effect a new
division of the world.
The Standard Oil Co. is negotiating
with the Russian government, through a
committee, formal treaty. The imme-
date effect of this treaty will be to raise
the price of necessary of life to the
people of the whole world.
This treaty exists at the present time
in the form of a memorandum agree
ment," drawn up and signed by all the
members of the Syndicate of the Rus
sian petroleum refiners, with the con-
sent of the minister of finance"
The twentieth clause of this memoran-
dun begins as follows: The committee
of five persons have to communicate with
the American Standard Oil company to
work out the necessary conditions of
rangements for dividing the market of
the whole world for the trade with Rus
sian and American kerosene"
These necessary conditions have al
ready been 'worked out" and the execu-
ton of the formal treaty dividing the
markets of the whole world'' waits but
upon the fulfllment by the Standard of
one condition. One great foreign re-
fnery, that of Mannheim. refuses to join
and one or two American associations
have not yet surrendered. Until they are
brought in the monopoly will still lack
little of being absolute, and the Russian
men will refuse to approve the treaty. 1t
was the result of a meeting of Rus
sian refiners held at the request of
the Russian ministers of finance last
fall The purpose was primarily to
bring about an agreement in the nature
of trust and under the direction of the
government between the producers and
refiners in the Baku district. The basis
of such an agreement was reached. The
representatives of 81 per cent of the Rus
slams and the representatives of the
Standard participated. Another meet
ing was held in St Petersburg on Feb. 1,
when the details were perfected and
nearly all signatures attached.
