Hurtful monopoly is usually gained
in one of two ways: Either by govern
1nent favor in the form of legislative adj
vantages, or by railroad discrimination
in the form of special rates or rebates.
Usually both advantages are enjoyed.
II the states visited severe penalties
upon railroads guilty of discrimina-
tions and upon corporations and indi-
viduals entering into combinations to
regulate production or prices, the trusts
and monopolies would be badly Grip
pied. The monopoly combinations
could be almost weeded out OF the
states by the enforcement of the prin-
cipIes Of common law. Let congress,
in addition to making laws to prevent
the operation of trusts within the
scope of federal authority, adopt the
rule that every article handled by a
trust or combination shall be placed on
the free list and the corner stone OF
monopoly viii be knocked out. II the
republicans are sincere in their pro-
fession of desire to smash the trusts,
here is an opening.-St. Louis Re-
public.
If the radical republican newspa-
pers of the country have their own way
the wishes Of the extreme Mckinley re
pnblicans will be respected by the en-
actment of new high protective tariff
law But already there are indications
that the gentlemen at Washington who
are to frame the next tariff bill are
going to have much opposition from

Festival OF the POttawatomie Indians, Dur
Ing Which Divorces Are Granted.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 1.-The 500 Pot
tawatomie Indians who hold valua-
BILE reservation 90 miles north of this
city are just now in the midst of their
greatest annual festival-the green
corn dance. Every year this ancient
custom is observed, and committees
representing many of the tribes in the
Indian territory attend to receive the
degrees of the secret order which is
akin to masonry. The Pottawatomie
dancing ground is laid out like cir
Gus ring, with openings at the east
and west, and during the past week
these peculiar creatures have passed
the afternoons and evenings in dance
that has FRUSTRATED many. The yomen
do not dance, but the bucks try TO ex-
Gel in outwinding each other. Stalks
of green corn are scattered over the
dancing ground and held in the hands
of the squaws. A half dozen big chiefs
furnish music for the dancers by beat
ing of gongs and tomtoms. Indian
bucks who wish to break the bonds of
matrimony which bind them to uncon-
genial squaws may do so by simply APP
pearing at the green corn dance and
shutting off the divorce" dance, when
they are freed from the one of their
choice and may seek out other wives.

They claim that they must do
something to retain their con-
tracts. That the strikers will
fight against this move is GER
tain, and it is generally believed that
there will soon be rioting. 1t is re-
ported that 1000 strikersar are preparing
to march on the Sickle Hollow mine,
where seven were killed in 1894, to try
to force the 400 men at work there to
cease. The mine is shipping 100 cars
of coal day. A movement is also on
foot to force the men in the Boone and
Allison shafts to quit If these move
ments shall be carried out grave
trouble is certain.
The joint arbitration boards and
labor commissioners held two sessions
yesterday. In the afternoon President
De Armitt of the New York e. Cleve-
land Gas Coal Co., declared that if the
Pittsburgh district operators would
abolish company stores and pay cash
every two weeks, his company would
pay any price for mining.
Che fear of coal shortage which
caused scramble and a heavy advance
in prices on Monday is over, and un-
less the miners strike continues for
many months famine is not now ex-
pected. There is at present an album

One Company Alone to Blame.
CHICAGO, July 14,-J. w. Ellsworth,
president of the Union national bank,
who has large coal interests in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, said to-day that he
did not think the strike would be
settled within month, perhaps not
for six weeks. "The New York 81

tive markets. 1t is responsible for the
present strike. The scale price as
agreed upon was go cents in the Pitts
burgh district. The New York 81
Cleveland Gas Coal Co. agreed to be
bound by that. The operators went so
far as to accede to the demand of that
company in 1895 that company stores
be abolished. Some time after work
was resumed the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal Co. asserted that the full
81 per cent. which has had company
stores had not given them up and as
this was condition upon which it was
paying the scale it would not be bound
by the 6O-cent rate. 1t compelled its
men to close a new contract at "a cents

RESERVOIR BROKE
Two Boarding Houses WASHED Away
Near Matteawan, N. Y.
TWENTY-sEVEN LIVES LOST.
Seven Bodies of the Victims Recovered and
Men Are Digging into a Mass OF Sand
and Earth to Recover the
Twenty Missing.

NEwBUReH, N. Y, July 1A-The
Melzingah reservoir, in the Fishkill
mountains near Matteawan, broke at
three o'clock this morning owing to
the heavy rains, and, two miles below,
near Duchess Junction, washed away
bricl1yard buildings, including two
boarding houses occupied by laborers.
Seven bodies of victims had been re-
covered at noon and at least 90 others
were still missing. All were caught
asleep and had no chance to escape.
Tons of earth and sand were washed
down in the food and men are digging
into this mass to recover other bodies.
Trains were stalled all the way from
Fishkill to Poughkeepsie. One of these
was Cook excursion train, the pas
sengers on which expected to start for
Europe to-day. After some hours of
work a temporary trestle was built at
the break and the Montreal express,
southbound, passed over.
The reservoir was situated in the
Fishkill mountains, about mile east
of the junction. 1t collected the sur
face water from the north side of
south Beacon and the south side of a
neighboring mountain and is 800 feet
above tide water, Its overflow reaches
the Hudson by way of a small stream
known at Towanda creek. At the
west end of the ravine was the devas-
tated brlckyards.
The reservoir was of oval shape and
about 500 feet long and 800 feet wide
and 80 or 80 feet deep. 1t was used as
an auxiliary supply to the regular
waterworks system of Matteawan and
Nshkill landing, from the main source
of which it was distant about four

An Unusual Demand for Cars IN Oklahoma

and Kansas.
topeka, Kan, July 1.-THE enor-
nous wheat crops of Kansas and Okla
homa have started to move. A demand
for cars is coming in to the operating
departments of the different railroads
from Oklahoma and the extreme south
ern counties of Kansas, and daily
scores of cars are filed and started on
their way to market Practically all
of the grain is going to the gulf. The
different railroads of Kansas are fill
ing the state with cars, and at the
shops of the various lines all possible
haste is being made in the repair
OF cars. Telegraph offices are be-
ing opened at the smaller stations, the
forces increased at the larger stations
and every effort is being made to be in
readiness to handle the big rush of
grain. The Rock Island management
estimates the wheat crop along it lines
in Kansas and oklahoma at 20, 900 cars.
Santa Fe estimates in the same terri
tory go far above this. Estimates of
other roads range from 5000 to 10000.
