IS THE HUGEST TRUST
Chambers Complaint to Presi'
dent Cleveland.
MADE A POOLING AGREEMENT
Que Earnest Word From the Omuipotent
Banker Friend viii Paralyze
the iniquity.

washington, Nov. Ex-senator Chand-
the PRESIDENT:
Washington. Nov. %, 1s95.-To the
President: I make complaint to you,
ana through you to your interstate
commerce commission, against the
trust and pooling agreement, now near
ly finished, of the eight American rail-
road trunk lines and the one Canadian
line OF pooling the traffic between New
ork city and Chicago. Tne agreement
provides that every railroad in the COM
blnatlon shall make and maintain the
transportation rates prescribed by a
board of managers representing all the
roads.
This is a conspiracy in restraint of
trade and commerce, under the act of
July 2, 1890. The agreement also makes
certain that all competition shall be
abolished as above required by impos-
ing heavy fines upon any offending
road, Which fines are applied for the
benefit Of the other roads. This is a
division of earnings contrary to sec
ton of the interstate commerce law.
This trust and pooling agreement can
be annlhilated as provided by explicit
existing laws of the United States
first, by injunction from the courts;
second, by an order of the interstate
commerce commission; or, third, by an
Of the individuals signing
the same.
1t can also be easily stopped by
appeal from you to J. Pisrpont
whose power over the nine
governors of the nine trunk lines is as
absolute as it was over the bond syn
dicate. 1t can not be possible you in
tend to take upon your administration
the responsibility Of fastening upon
your burdened and helpless people this
he hugest trust the world ever saw or
hat was ever conceived of, when one
earnest word from your fresh attorney
general, your ambitious chairman of
.our commission, or your omnipotent |
banker friend will paralyze the iniquity /
n its inception. Very respectfully
ours, WILLIAM E. CHANDLER.

GOSSIP Of CONGRESS
ReorganIzat on Of the Two Houses
Is the Topic Uppermost.
TOM REED HAS NO OPPONEN
ship, three for the Position Of
Duofkeepcr.

Washington, Nov 25.-The arrival Of
number Of senators and members
last night and today, including Ex-
Speaker Reed, has served to increase
discussion over the reorganization Of
the two houses of congress and the
prospect is now that this will be the
uppermost question in congressional
circles until the house contest is settled
and it is decided whether the senate
Will recognize them.
The fact that the speakership is uni
Versally conceded to Mr.. Reed has had
the effect Of concentrating interest in
the other elective officers and it ap-
pears probable that the elimnat ton Of
the speakership will not diminish the
general concern over the result.
Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. Mcdowell are
the only two candidates for the house
clerkshlp and it is not believed that
any dark horse candidates will develop
between this time and next Saturday,
when the house caucus will be held
There are now three candidates for
doofkeeper--Tipton Of Tennessee, For
tune Of North Carolina and Adams Of
Maryland
Opinions are decidedly at variance as
to the republican senators with refer
ence to the reOrganiza ton of the senate
and nothing definite will be known on
that score until after the convening OF
the senate. Senator Sherman, who is
chairman Of the republican caucus, ex-
pressed the opinion today that the re-
Dublicans would hold conference ear
Iy IN the season for the consideration
OF this question. A majority Of the re-
publican senators here appear to advo-
cate an effort at organization on re-
publican lines, but some of the older
and more conservative of them oppose
movement in this direction, contend
ing that it would be impolitic to as
sumo control of affairs and take charge
Of committees without having a work
ing majority in the senate.
There will be an effort on the part OF
some senators to compromise the claims
of silver and anti-silVer republicans in
connection with the committee on
finance by enlarging the committee {
IL and giving the silver men one oft {
new places and the gold men the other

AGAINST ASSESSMENT INSURANCE
oid inc C"1nnaries Assert That the
Plan Is Going Out of Favor

| Plan Is Going Ont of Favor
| New York, Nov 2G-Leading represen-
tatlVes OF regular or old line insurance
companies say that the admission al the
recent meeting in Toronto of the Interna
tional Fraternal congress, representino,
=0 heneilclal societies in the United States
ana Canada, that the time had arrived
when 1t was an absolute necessity to es-
tablIsh 'emergency funds" presages the
beginning of the end of the assessment in
surance system With the assessments
necessary for the establishment of such
fund, coupled with the leyies for NOR
tuary and management expenses, the fu-
ture cost of Insurance, they say, will be
as heavy under the assessment plan as is
the Old line, without any of the safe
guards that are thrown around the policy
holders of the latter by legislative enact
ments. Some of the old line companies
are resurrecting literature issued years
ago, when the assessment system began
to make headWay, and in which the ulti-
mate necessity of ''emergency funds'' to
provide against the bankruptcy or col
lapse Of such societies was clearly fore
shadoWed Statistics adduced at the To-
ronto congress show that many fraternal
societies have been compelled by the
high death rate to levy double assess
ments nearly every month during the cur
rent year, and that the margin between
these aggregated assessments and old
line rates for the same amount of insur-
ance was dangerously close.

CASE OF DR.. AND MRS. j. c. HEARNE

Bowling Green, Nd, Nov. 25.-The
winter term of the Marion county court
opened today. The most important case
| on the docket is that Of DR.. and Mrs
j. G. Hearne, indicted for the mur-
der Of Amos ]. StillWell. first husband
of Mrs. Hearne, at Hannibal three
years ago. The case has been assigned
TO this court on change of venue. The
fixing of the date for the commence
ment of the trial rests with the court,
and unless there is objection on the
part Of the defense, December l6 will
probably be agreed upon.
Through the publication of the pro-
ceedlngs of the grand jury that in
dicted the accused, the bulk of the test
imony upon which the prosecuting au-
thorities will be compelled to depend
for conviction is already known, and
as there is no vestige here of the in
tense prejudice that exists against the
accused at Hannibal, their conviction
upon the facts to be adduced is re-
garded as doubtful.

poses rebelling against the committee
should it select San Francisco for the
place of holding the coming republican

General GrosvenOr says the offer of
san Francisco to pay hotel bills of the
delegates is of the nature of bribe.
He says the expenses to delegates going
to that city would be $1,250,00 more
than it would We're the convention held
east of the Rockies. Besides, he saws.
it would accommodate upwards of so
delegates Of the Pacific coast at the
great expense of 720 delegates in the
central and western parts of the United
States He therefore suggests that In
case the committee should select San
Francisco the delegates in all the states
should meet in their respective states
and veto the action Of the committee by
selecting some suitable place for the
convention.
