Senator Sherman. the ablest republican
now in public life, said when the Nc
Kinley bill was under consideration that
if in any schedule the increased duties
led to the formation or the strengthen
ing of trusts and monopolies, a danger
which he feared. he would vote to re-
peal the protection thus abused. The
formation of a paper trust would be a
sufficient provocation to such action,
independent of any scheme of general
tariff reform, which the public sentiment
of the country desires o-have postponed
for four or five years in the interest of
business stability and peace. No trust

The United States government has al
ways been the foremost to recognize the
belligerent rights of revolutionists. 1t
was the first to acknowledge the rights of
the South American rebels against Spain,
and later recognized their independence
as states. 1t was the first to recognize
modern Greece as a nation, and when
Texas revolted against Mexico acknowl-
edged her independence. So now with re-
spect to Cuba. The United States and
the governments of Europe might join
in a recognition of the belligerency of the
insurgents and consider that they had
won their way SO far that they were en-
titled to recognition, but this would not
stop Spain in her attempt to put down

"Pegamoid' Is a product recently
placed on the, market in Europe, which,
applied to materials of any kind renders
them absolutely waterproof. From the
most delicate silks to the coarsest woven
goods for paper carpets and all matters
of upholstery for book covers or leather,
this wonderful discovery claims to be
able to render them absolutely water
proof The f1exibility of the goods is in
no wise endangered, and an umbrella be
it of the finest silk, is said to be imper-
vious by treatment with this process. 1t
is claimed for pegamoid that it will not
rot, as rubber does, and that ladies clad
in the daintiest of silks of the most del
icate colors can fearlessly expose them to
a fierce rainstorm without any danger Of
damage to the fabric.

The New York World has been writing
to congressman ito poll their votes for
and against recognition, and so far there
seems little opposition to recognition. 1t
is remarked that European nations rec
ognized the belligerent rights of the Con-
federate States within year of the out
break of the rebellion and accepted their
representatives at court. There is little
doubt that if the Cubans can continue
to hold on until congress assemblies their
belligerency will be recognized, and then
their chances for success against their
brutal taskmasters will be vastly i'm

A REMEDY BADLY NEEDED.
The PocISetbOok snatcher Getting in
His Work Almost Daily.


It was reported last night that another
highway robbery had occurred al. Brough-
ton and Reynolds streets, a lady's pocket
book being snatched from her hand by a
negro, who made his escape. The matter.
however, was not reported at the barracks
and her name could not be learned.
These robberies are becoming alarming
" frequent in the last three or four days.
and most Of them seem to be committed
by negroes who are adopts in the work.
There is no doubt that some Of them make
it a profession, and their methods seem
that it is a studied thing with them.
From the description Of the negro who
snatched pocket book from Miss Hattie
Saussy's hand at Jones and Whitaker
street night before last it is believed that
he is an old offender. Miss Saussy was on
her way home with her mother about z
O'Clock in the evening, and it was almost
under the electric light at this corner that
he struck her a sharp blow on the hand
causing her to drop her pocket book and
another package she was carrying. AS
he picked up the pocket book and started
to run she caught him by the coat and
with much pluck, endeavored to detail
him until some one should come up and
arrest him. But in running he turned and
struck her twice, the last time knocking
her down, when he made his escape down
Charlton street lane.
1t is to be regretted that some means of
stopping such outrages in the heart of the
city, and at such early hours in the even
ing, have not been discovered.

SET on FIRE AGAIN.
Another Attempt to Burn st. Fran
els Home.


Another incendiary attempt upon the
St. Francis Home for Colored Orphans
in the southeastern part of the city was
made yesterday morning. Like the previ-
Gus attempts this one was made by in
mates of the institution.
The young orphans seem determined to
destroy the home, About breakfast time
the ironing room in which a number OF
the inmates had been at work was dis
covered on fire. The fire was eXtinguished
by Mother Beasley, with the assistance
of some of the girls, but not until con-
siderable quantity of clothing had been de-
stroyed.
The police were notified and Chief Nc
Dermott, accompanied by Detectives
Wetherhorn and Kiley, went out to in
vestigate. Suspicion pointed TO three OF
the inmates and they were arrested and
taken to the barracks The names of the
three girls arrested are Carrie ilkerson,
Susanna Sturtevant and Anna Biner.
Chief McDermott did not have time to
fully investigate the case yesterday, but
will do so to-day.

Hobbs to Have Only One Month if He
VIII Leave the State.


VIII Leave the State.
Col Charles H. Hobbs, as he styles him
self. who was found guilty in the United
States court of personatng a United
States officer, was sentenced yesterday by
Judge Speer to serve nine months i'm jail
1t was provided, however, that he would
only have to serve one month of that time
If at its expiration he would leave the
state, and Hobbs will, in all probability
accept this proposition
In sentencing him Judge Speer read a
letter from the marshal of FAN River
Mass, in which it was stated that Hobbs
had lived there at one time, and had a
wife, who belonged to a nice family.
The letter stated that, in the opinion of
the writer and others there, who had
known Hobbs, he was of unsound mind
The court had come to the conclusion that
something was wrong with Hobbs, and
that it was a sort of delusion with him
that he was an officer of the United
States For these reasons the sentence
was made light one.
