country are forming trust. Gully
$50, 900. 900 capital is to be consoli-
dated in this one. The federal steel
trust absorbed 5000, 900, 900. During
the last campaign republican orators
and newspapers were wont to declare
that the country needed confidence;
but it must be dawning on the public
mind by this time that they meant
''trust;" for there has been one mann
moth trust after another formed sin ce

famous days for trusts.

YSAYE'S FAREWELL
 TO SAN FRANCISCO
A LAUREL WREATH FOR THE
 YOUNG CELLIST.

If Ysaye had never played anything else, If he were never to play again, he might stake his reputation upon his rem dition of Bach yesterday afternoon.
 It was marvel of technique, a mas tery of the intricacies of the great com position and the deep chords of the or gan-like solo that beautifies and human izes 1t. If you had never heard Ysaye play Bach you would have declared, after hearing the Kreutzer Sonata, that his forte was Beethoven; but the large audi ence that was content with three recalls after the sonata was seized with musical note of the Bach number fell from Ysaye's violin. It shouted 'Hochsv' and "Bravos!" with all sorts O. variations of sounds in the yowels; till the. great vio- linist responded with something more than a profound bow.
 Gerardy, too, fell prey to this insati- able audience. He played Saint Saens concerto in A minor. and was presented Kol Nidre, the ideal expression of the cello, played with such exquisitely sym pathetic expression that had his instru- ment been human voice. a deep, vel vety. musical bass, 1t could not have sung the fine old Hebrew prayer more
 Those who have considered Lachaume's s playing as cold, lacking in sentiment, should have heard him play the Moon light Sonata yesterday afternoon. The rich in tone and fufI of expression. Lachaume excels in rapid. soft staccato. In the second movement of the Kreutzer Sonata the delicacy of the piano accom- paniment was worthy the honor of play Ing second to Ysaye's violin.
 Yesterdays concert was the farewell of Ysaye and Gerardy to San Francisco. They leave immediately for the north.

Treasury Department Gives Warning for the Benefit of Captains of
 American Vessels.

w. B. Howell. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, addressed letter to Col lector Jackson, received by the Collector yesterday, which emphasizes the neces- sity of watchfulness on the part of the masters of American vessels as against the machinations of Spanish spies. The letter is as follows:
 Dear Sir: Your attention Is invited to the following extract from recent dispatch Of consul of the United States at Mexican port which you requested to bring to the notice of the master of any vessel clearing from your port to a port in Mexico:
 There Is a very bitter feeling among the Spaniards, not only here in this city but everywhere along the coast in Coatza- coalcos, Frontera-in fact all over the country where Spaniards are to be found and they are continually trying, by dis tribution of circulars and otherwise, to prejudice the minds of the Mexican people against the Americans. From all the information I get, and from what I hear and see myself, I strongly recom- mend that captains of American, as well as foreign vessels chartered by Ameri- cans, coming to ports of this country. should be warned to be careful about whom they allow on board their vessels to prevent any accident"

 Frederickson worked for the Homestead Mining Company, Black Hills, and it sent him to South Africa about year ago. While in Johannesburg he met Lena and they lived together. According to Fred erickson she was always expressing de- sire to get back to this city, but had no money, and finally he consented to take her back The night before they sailed from Cape Town he got drunk and she stole a200 from his belt and obtained a bank draft for the amount in her own name. When he accused her of taking the money she told him she would give it to him when they reached this city. They arrived here about two weeks ago and took rooms in the Milton House, 156 Third street. Tuesday she removed her bag Fredericksons pockets. She gave the landlady s25, telling her to give 1t to her husband. as she was going to the springs
 Frederickson reported the case to the police and Detectives Ryan and O'Dea arrested Lena at 325 Bush street. Yester- day she was booked at the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny, and another charge of having obscene pictures in her possession was registered against her
 Lena tells different story She says hard luck and. she loaned him f4O She also paid his fare to this city and the draft was her own money. She denied taking the $S5 from his pocket.

GREENE FORGERY CASE.
The Preliminary Examination Com
 menced Before Judge Mogan.

The case of Attorney A. J. Greene, charged with forgery by John Lapique, was called in Judge Mogan's court yes- terday. Attorney Prescott, who repre- scented Lapique, asked for a continuance, but Greene and Attorney J. D. Sullivan strongly opposed it. as they said they had the documents to prove Greene's in nocence.
 It was finally decided to take the evil dence of Attorneys H. N. Clement and Henry E. Highton. who were witnesses for the defense, and were anxious to get away. Their evidence referred to the set clement of claim that Clement had on the estate of Jean Louis Alder, based upon a promissory note for S1000. which Clement had given to Highton. Attorney Prescott moved that the evidence should be stricken out, as it had no bearing upon the case, and the Judge said he would reserve his decision
 Attorney Highton was being cross-ex- amined as to his business connections with Lapique, when a continuance was granted till this afternoon to enable him to refresh his memory. Greene claims that he has a good case.
