washington. D. c., November "a
Senator William F. Chandler has writ
ten the following letter to the Presi-
dent:
washington, November %, 1895.
"To the President:
"Sir:-I make complaint to you, and
through you to your Interstate Com
merce Commission, against the trust
and pooling agreement, now nearly I'M
ished. of the eight American railroad
trunk lines and the one Canadian line,
for pooling the traffic between New
York City and Chicago.
"The agreement provides that every
railroad in the combination shall make
and maintain the transportation rates
prescribed by a board OF managers rep
resenting all the roads. This IS
A CONSPIRACY
in restraint of trade and commerce.
under the act of July 2, 1880.
The agreement also makes certain
that all competition shall be abolished
as above by imposing heavy fines on
any offending road, which fines are TO

roads. This is a division of earnings
contrary to section five Of the Inter-
State commerce law.
This trust and pooling agreement
CAN BE ANNIHILATED
as provided by explicit existing laws of
the United States. % BY injunction
from the Courts; (2), by an order OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, or
90. by an indictment Of the individuals
signing the same.
1T can also easily be stopped by %
vigorous appeal from you TO Mr.. j
PierpOnt Morgan, whose power over tho
nine governors of the nine trunk lines
is as absolute as it was over the bond
syndicate. It cannot be possible that
you intend to take upon your admin
istration the responsibility Of fastening
upon your burdened and helpless peo-
pie this,
THE HUGEST TRUST
the world ever saw or that was ever
conceived o. when one earnest word
from you to your fresh Attorney Cen
eral, your ambitious chairman of your
Commission, or your omnipotent banker
friend will paralyze the iniquity o. its
inception.
Very respectfully,

IT WAS WILD"
Chicago Men Might BUY the Expo8i-
ton for Day" but New Workers.
Hold on to Their Money Better
Than That.

Atlanta, Ca, November PA wild
rumor obtained general circulation and
some credence on the streets to-day that
the New York delegation to Atlanta
had bought out the exposition for to-
morrow and would throw the gates
wide open to the public. The story was
a canard. Of course, but it served to
show the impression the New Workers
have made on the Southern metropolis
by their array Of distinguished men,
their special trains and the reception
they are preparing TO give the people Of
Atlanta Monday evening.
Though the visitors from Gotham
have spent to-day quietly for the most
part. resting from the fatigue of the
tourney southward, and preparing for
the celebration of New York day to
morrow. the Sunday has not been wlth1
ont its events This morning Mayor
Strong. Hon. Seth Low, ana other
prominent members Of the party, es-
corted by Squadron A, attended ser
vices at the Episcopal Cathedral Of st.
Phillips, where the Rt. Rev. Cleland
Kinloch Nelson, Bishop of Georgia,
officiated.
This afternoon the New Workers were
rendered a reception by Mrs. Joseph
Thompson, president of the Board Of
Women Managers of the exposition.
Every incoming train brings acces-
sions to the Empire State contingent
and the bright red ribbon and oxydized
silver badges worn by the men from
Manhattan Island have been the most
familiar objects about the hotels and
public resorts all day.
1t is probable that by tomorrow,
when public exercises in celebration Of
New York day are to be held in the ex-
position auditorium, fully one thousand
New Workers will be in attendance.

A DRUNKEN FIEND
Attempted to Assault His Step-Daugh-
ter and Nearly Killed Her With
Knife and Hatchet Because She OBJ
iected--He Then Committed Suicide.

New York, November 24-Andrew
Tinko, a Hungarian, while intoxicated
to-day, attempted to murder his ff-
teen-year-old daughter, because she
would not submit to his desires, and
then committed suicide.
The man, his common-law wife, and
her daughter by a former marriage,
lived together in a tenement house in
Third street Last night they all went
10 q party, returning home at an early
hour this morning. Shortly after they
had retired to bed, the woman was
awakened by the screams of her daugh-
ter. The man had attempted to assault
the girl, and meeting with resistance,
he was craZed with anger. He seized
q knife and thrust it into the girls $
back several times. The girl sprang
from the bed and ran into the kitchen,
closely followed by the murderous
fiend. There the child, covering in
dread, was seized by the father who
picked up a hatchet which lay on the
floor and began to strike the girl with
that instrument on the shoulders. The
girl. though horribly cut and bruised,
managed to break away from her father
and escaped from the house. Then the
mother. who had been awakened by the
girls cries, tried to grasp the hatchet,
but the man held it aloft and threat
ened to kill her. She snatched the
hatchet from his hand and followed
her daughter into the street. They
called the police and in moment the
entire house was in commotion and
the excitement there was greatly aug
mented by hearing the report of four
pistol shots which followed in rapid
succession the cries Of the women.
The police found TinkO stretched out
ON the floor. having fired several shots
from a revolver into his neck and head.
He died before an ambulance arrived.

REMEMBERED NAPOLEON 1.
Death at Paris. .Yesterday,o OF VI. Barthelem,
Saint Helaire.

SAINT lttlAlre.
London, November 25.-The Daily
News this morning announces the
death of NJ. Barthelmy Saint-Hilaire.
NJ. Barthelmy Saint Hilaire, who was
a little more than ninety years of age
at the time Of his death, was probably
the only man living who retained
clear personal recollection of Napoleon
I. The first occasion was on March 81,
1914. when the allied armies entered
Paris. The sufferings of that day were
the more strongly impressed upon his
mind because they were associated with
the physical pain Of an attack Of op-
thalma. malady that troubled him all
his life. He had a better view OF Ma
poleon in 1915 at a review in the Champ
de Mars. The last glimpse that he
caught of Napoleon I. occurred a few
weeks later as he walked on the terrace
of the Tuilleries. NJ. Saint-Hilalre
was a writer of considerable note, and
furnished many articles against the
policy of home rule for the English pa
DerS.

Detroit Mich, November 2i.-Tom
L. Johnson, of Cleveland President of
the Detroit Citizens Street Roilway
Company, to-day put straight ffe-cent
fares into effect, with the exception of
workingmens tickets" night and
morning. The action was in pursu-
ance of a threat made by President
Johnson to Mayor Pingree, 10 the effect
that if the city government persisted I'm
refusing to meet the company part way
in the matter Of extending the COM
panys franchises, that both the Uni
versal Transfer system and the six for
a quarter tickets would be abolished.
This declaration has now been made
good in both respects. Mr.. Johnson,
however, was willing to meet the city
in the matter Of further reduction of
fares probably to seven for a quarter),
provided the city extended the COM
panys franchises, most of which will
lapse within fourteen years. Mayor
Pingree insists upon nothing short Of
eight tickets for quarter, day and
night
