Keeping Out Combines.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 19:-Seo-
rotary of State Lessueur has made his
annual call on corporations for finan-
cNl reports and antitrust afiidavits.
The antitrust law was materially
amended by the recent general assem-
bly, and the machinery for It's enforce
ment rendered far more effective. In
stead of prosecutions being left en-
tirely to prosecuting attorneys the at
torney general has also original juris-
diction. lhe penalties for failure to
make the reports and atfidavits are
severe, and heretofore have been very
generally the result of the careless
ness rather than the contumacy of
corporations. Ii companies would
make their reports Immediately after
the first of July it would lessen the
number of delinquents on the score of
neglect.

A COLORADO SECURITY COMPANY
WITHOUT ASSETS.
A GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.
The President and General Manager,
Once an HonOred Citizen of Denver,
a FugltIve--Widow and Orphans
in the East Especial Sufferers
Believed to Be In AUS
traIia Now.

DENVER, COL, June 19.-Henry j.
Aldrich, president and general mana
ger of the Colorado Securities COM
pany, left here five weeks ago without
saying word to anyone as to his pur-
poses, and the creditors of the concern
are making strenuous efforts to ascer-
tain his whereabouts. 1t is now
thought he has gone to Australia or the
Sandwich Islands.
The hasty exit of Aldrich is due to
the fact that warrant for his arrest,
based on the Indictment of the grand
jury, was about to be served the
charge being misrepresentation of funds
intrusted to his care. He also acted as
treasurer of st. Johns cathedral for
ten years and was considered here as a
man of most sterling worth and deep
religious character.
Hundreds of ranch titles are clouded
by the acts of Aldrich, who diverted
funds RENTED by Eastern investors to
make good the shortage in maturing
obligations occasioned by the depre-
citation in real estate. He guaranteed
principal and interest on loans and
then began the downward course which
eliminated in the appointment of a
receiver for the Colorado Securities
company three months ago. Even then
there was no intimation of anything
wrong and the disclosures only came
to the surface with the examination by
the receiver of the books.
The heaviest loss falls upon widows
md orphans in the East whose earn
ings and savings were intrusted TO the
company for investment at high rate
of interest. One of the most distress
ing cases is that of a widow at Bloom
ington, ILL., She gave her whole for
tune to the Securities company and is
now supported by the county authori-
ties The debts will aggregate from

AS entered Seoul royal procession,

spondent. Its novel feature was that
the minister of war rode in European
evening dress and a "bowler" hat. on
the day following Witnessed a cere-
monial new In Corean history, and
which may have far-reaching results
to Coreans. The Japanese have re-
solved to clean the Augean stable Of
official corruption, and compelled the
king to begin the task by proceeding
in state to the altar Of heaven and
there taking an oath before the spirits
of his ancestors to the proposed re-
forms. His majesty, by exaggerating
a trivial ailment, had for some time
delayed the ceremony, and, even the
day before, a dream, In which an an
cestral spirit appeared to him adJuring
him not to depart from ancestral ways.
terrified him from taking the proposed
pledge. After a long delay and much
questioning as to whether at the last
moment the king would resist the for
eign pressure, the procession, In SOL
emn silence, emerged from the palace
gate; huge flags, on trident headed
poles, purple bundles carried aloft,
stand Of sacred stones conveyed with
much ceremony, groups Of scarlet and
blue robed men in hats shaped like
fools caps Of the same colors, the
kings personal servants in yellow
robes and yellow bamboo hats, decorat-
ed with pink roses, and men carrying
bannerets. Then came the red silk
umbrella, followed by--not the magnif-
icent state chair with its forty bearers,
but plain wooden chair with green
roof and glass sides, In which sat the
sovereign, looking very pale and de-
Jected borne by only four men. At a.
short distance followed the crown
prince in a similar chair. Mandarins;
ministers, and military officers were
then assisted on their caparisoned po-
MES, and each, with two attendants
holding his stirrups and two more
leading his pony, all in gorgeous rail-
ment, fell in line behind the home min
lister on dark donkey conspicuous by
his foreign guard. Half an hour later,
by passing along a street so narrow
that two horsemen cannot ride abreast,
the king reached the altar Of heaven,
where the military escort was left out
side the outer wall, and only the king,
dignitaries and attendants proceeded
to the altar. The groupings Of the
scarlet-robed men under the dark pines
was most effective from an artistic
point Of view, and from a political
standpoint the taking Of the oath by
the Corean king was one OF the most
significant acts in the tedious drama
of the present war.

COULDN'T GET HIS PAY.
So United States Attorney Walker Re-
signed His Office.

So United States Attorney Walker Re-
signed His Office.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The very
unusual thing of a government officer
resigning will be officially announced
to the world in day or two. The cir
cumstances under which the resigna-
tion was brought about, it is scarcely
necessary to add, are unusual. The
official referred to is Mr.. James V.
Walker, United States attorney for
the central district of the Indian ter
ritory. Mr.. Walker resigns because
congress neglected to make an appro-
priation to provide for his salary.
There is not much doubt, of course,
that the next congress will make the
necessary appropriation, but Mr..
Walker could not afford to wait for his
pay till the next appropriation bill be-
comes law. He has, therefore, ten
dered his resignation.
Notwithstanding the discourage
ment of his resignation, there are sew
eral applicants for the place, the most
promising of whom is Mr.. Givens, at
present the assistant attorney for the
northern district of the Indian terri
tory, stationed at Muscogee. 1t is be-
lieved here that he will get the APP
pointment.

SOME POINTS OF GENERAL INTER.
EST MADE PUBLIC.
THE ANNUAL DOCUMENT,
Only About Fourth of all Government
Employees Under tho Classified serv-
ice-COmparIsOns Of Extensions
Systems AbrOad-salarles of
Clerks Higher In This
Country.

WASHINGTON, Jnne 10. The forth-
coming annual report of the United
States civil service commission will
show that the whole number of per-
sons regularly employed in the civil
service of this country is about 200, 900.
OF these, approximately one-fourth
are in the classified service, subject to
competitive examinations under the
civil service rules. Of those in the
unclassi6ed service, $4,000 are labor
ers, 5000 are appointed by the presi-
dent, subject to confirmation by the
senate, 1900 are in the legislative
branch of the government, and 1906
are in the judicial branch. The civil
service act excludes these classes from
classification. The total num-
Der of positions affected by
the extension of civil service
rules from March 4, iS93 to January 3,
1895, was s,1s4. Of these 5,537 were
added to the classified service by orig
inal classification, and 2,647 by trans
fer of places classified, but excepted
from examination to list of places sub
ject to competitive examination. Since
January 20 all employees of the ag-
ricultural department have been
brought into the classified service ex-
cept the secretary and assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, private secretary
to each, the chief of the weather bu-
reau and his private secretary, the
chief clerk of the department and his
private secretary, and laborers and
charwomen.
A comparative statement shows that
at the end of President Arthur's adj
ministration the approximate number
of positions classified was 10, 573; at the
end of President Cleveland's first term
there were 1880, and at the end of
President Harrison's administration
there were AZ, 92s places classified. Ex-
ecutive acts brought 9j,s73 of the lat
ter number into the service, while the
1905 others, principally in postoffices,
became classified by reason of growth.
from small offices.
Investigations made at the request
of the commission show that the salar-
les of government clerks in the princi-
pal foreign countries are lower than
those paid by this government, but the
pay of higher officials is generally
more than those here.

Attacks on Senator BrIce Not Relished by
Ohio Democrats.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 19.-The Dem
ocratic state central committee will
meet here tomorrow to fix the time
and place of the state convention The
date particularly has been the subject
of spirited contention between Allen
w. Thurman and Senator Brice. The
date will be earlier than the middle of
July. Though the Republicans have
placed their ticket in the field, they
will do no campaign work before fall.
Allen w. Thurman seems to stand
quite alone in holding that in order
to accord the silver question a pro-
per hearing an early convention
must be had. 1t is now certain that
there will be no free silver plank in
the state platform. Allen w. Thur
man, however, may not be In the state
convention. The feeling against him
here is the result of his attack on
Chairman Smalley and Mr. Brice and is
very strong. While number of rural
counties that have already selected
delegates to the state convention have
adopted free silver resolutions it is
known that many of the delegates
chosen will not vote for free silver in
the convention. 1t has been generally
conceded that Hamilton county would
be for free silver, but the sound money
Democrats have decided to make a
fight there.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Colonel Tom

the supreme court to-day Justice Sher-
wood filed an opinion declaring un.
constitutional the law forbidding the
discharge by corporations of employees
who refuse to sever their connection
with labor organizations.
The court holds that this law is class
legislation. A non-union man could
be discharged without notice and the
law would not intervene, while unioT
man could not be discharged if his is
charge was based upon his connection
with the union.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.

Nearly Half of the Delegates to the

LOUISVILLE, KY, June l9.-It is still
an open question who will win the
Democratic nomination for governor
in the state convention next Tuesday,
but it is not an open question what the
Democratic state convention will do
about free silver.
Nearly half the delegates selected in
the county conventions yesterday are
either instructed to vote against free
silver or are known to be opposed to
it. Many others friendly to silver, are
individually and as representatives of
the conventions which chose them, OPP
posed to the policy of making any
declaration for free silver in the state
platform.
