AFTER THE TRUSTS.
Judge Gibbons Will Hear Proceedings
Against Them at Once

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Attorney-Genera
Maloney held an extended conversation
with Judge Gibbons this morning in
chambers at the criminal court building
regarding the numerous cases against
the trusts. 'r
The encouragement said that he de-
sired to finish up the quo warranto pro-
ceedings instituted by himself during his
four years administration, and as his
term of office expires early in January
it would be necessary to name an early
date for hearing.
After looking over the calendars for
the next three weeks, Judge Gibbons
agreed that the hearings should COM
mence Wednesday of next week and con-
tinue until all the pending litigation was
disposed of. The cases which will be
heard number over twenty-five, and
range from violations of the law in GER
tain trusts to fraudulent corporations.
Some of the former are backed by lead
ing financiers of the United States, and
include among their number the Amer
lean Tobacco company, the Cordage
trust, the Linseed Oil trust and others
equally important.

HIGH OLD TIME.
Members of the Italian Chamber OF Dep
uties Engage in a Knock-Down Row
over a Proposed Appropriation
for the Crown Prince.

Rome, Dec. 1S.-A disgraceful row &C.
Cured in the chamber of deputies today
upon the occasion of the discussion OF the
allowances to be voted for the use of the
Prince OF Naples, crown prince of Italy.
In the course of the debate Signor Cos
ia, socialist, denounced the proposal to
grant an allowance to the crown prince
and urged the abolition of all allowances
to the crown. Continuing his speech he
declared that the monarchy was not only
a useless, but a dangerous institution,
whereupon the president of the chamber
Interrupted him and forbade him to speak
further. A frightful uproar ensued, dep
utles jumping over benches and flying
at one another's threats, while others
exchanged knock-down blows. The tu-
multi lasted some time, and when order
was restored it was found that several
deputies had been very severely handled
When the chamber became compare
lively quiet the Marquis Di Rudini, prime
minister, attempted to reply to Signor
Costa, but his voice was drowned by the
shouts and jeers of the socialists.
Finally bill granting an annual al
lowance of 100000 francs was carried
amid great confusion.

E: AN0THER BURcHARD.
Rum ,RomaniSm dndRe6eLEon

Canton, o, Aug. 24-Maior Nc.
kinley aud his political household
are very much worried over an Incl.
dent that occurred Saturday after
noon in connection with the visit of
the delegation from Lawrence Coun-
ty, Pa, 30 the Major. The happen.
ening referred to bears close re-
semblauce to the Burchard incident
that proved so fatal to the presiden-
tial candidacy of James G. Blaine in
1884, and it is this fact that is caus-
ing Major Mckinley and his friends
the keenest anxiety.
Just after the speechmaking at the
Mckinley home Satul day thousands
of cards were distributed by certain
members of the PENNSYLVANIA dele
cation among the crowds that h ong-
ed the streets, bearing this inscrip-
ton:
a vote for william j BRYAN is a
vote for Rum, Romauism, Rebellion.
Priestcraft, National Dishonor aud
Anarchy"
In one corner Of the card was the
picture Of schoolhouse and in an.
other corner WAS that of COW, Mt.
One OF these cards was shown Ma.
jor Mckinley anc when he saw its
purport lis annoyance was apparent.
An intimate friend Of the Majors
said to The Post correspondent con-
corning the card:
Il tam afraid this thing will be at.
tended 10y serious resulrs. | ain not
a rich man, but / would personally
rather have lost thousand dollars
tlian have it occur"
y consultation of McKinley's friends
was held, and it was decided that il
would be better TO take no notice OF
the incident, unless it was attended
by consequences that would compel
the taking of some action.

WHY MCKINLEY rs SILENT.

The reason Of McKinley's silence
is not far to seek. lie dare not
face the following facts:
FirSt-McKinley voted to sus-
pend the rules and pass a free sill
yer billin 1887. y..
SecOnd-In 1873 he voted for
the Bland Silver Dollar bill and
supported it, and did much to ac-
complish~its passage against the
veto of Presiden5 Hayes
Thfrd-In 1883, when Chairman
of the Platform Committee Of the
Republican National Convention,
he reported resolutions denounc-
ing "the policy OF the Democratic
Administration in its efforts to de-
mOne5ize silver"
Fourth-Ih 1890, when leader of
the House, he advocated the pas
sage of the Sherman Silver pur-
chase law and declared: II want
the dOuble-standard .n-Catholic
Herald.
We sympathize with the good
Major, for we have no doubt he
feels greatly embarrassed stand
ing on the goldbug platform Mark
Hanna and Wall Street made for
him. Mr.. Bryan will let the Ma.
jor down after November.
