Sherman spoke on topics of national
and international interest. He declared
his belief that the United States will
have no controversy with Japan over
the annexation of Hawaii, and that the
trust question is the most important
subject for settlement in this country.
He declared that he was firmly opposed
to combinations of capital which in
,terfere with competition. He said:
The question of trusts is altogether the
most important question Of the day. The
combination of persons engaged in common
interests seems on its face to be fair
enough. But it breaks down competition
and forces out the small interests. The
trust law is not strong enough. drew it,

Body of a Man Found in Two Parts
in New York City.
New York, June 28.-The lower part
of the trunk of man was found by two
boys in the woods at One Hundred and
Seventy-sixth street and Undercliffe
avenue, this city. Sunday. It was terri
bly, mutilated, and shows plainly that a
murder has been committed. 1t was
wrapped in oilcloth and manila paper,
exactly as was the upper part of trunk
found in the East river off Eleventh
street on Saturday. The two are parts
of the same body. The two pieces were
found more than eight miles apart, one
in the water and the other on land. The
part found Sunday comprised the lower
part of the trunk from the fifth rib to
the hips, the legs having been severed
from the body at the hip joints. r.
It was wrapped in three folds of oil
cloth. The @oilcloth was evidently cut
from the same piece assthat which in
closed the upper part of the trunk. The
body had not been dissected, which does
away with the belief that the body had
been handled by medical students. Be-
sides, it had been terribly hacked
where separated from the upper: Spor-
ton. It was sent to the morgue, where
it exactly fitted the part found on Sat-
urday. - 55e.ra.':, q ges-.-
