Hanna Talks About Trusts.

Cleveland, o., Oct. Ex-senator Han
ma, in a speech before the Fifth district
Republican club, said the combination
of capital for one purpose or another
is not political question at all. 1t is
business question and ought not to
have been brought into politics. When
our industries were in their infancy,
England and other countries came
along and sold goods in this country
at less than the price asked in their
own country. Then followed the pro-
tective tariff law.
Having secured this protection our
manufacturers went abroad aud are
making rapid strides, successfully
competing with the whole world. 1t
is evident, however, that they can not
continue to do this without combined
capital. The formation of trusts is
simply an evolution of business meth
DDS From a business point of view
the formation of these combines, in
one sense, is step forward.
Trusts have existed in Europe as
far back as two hundred years, and
would exist without tariff

May be Intended to Check Unfriendly Ut
terances OF European Powers.
London, Oct. 20.-In order to provide
additional means for military service
the government has called out the MI
litia and military reserves. This ac-
ton has occasioned widespread won
derment. Old stories of preparations
against continental combinations are
revived. 1t Is freely rumored that the
government is determined to demon
strate to Europe that the British army
is not negligible quantity.
Both the attitude of Europe and the
natives of South Africa having some
thing to do with this attitude and the
lavish display of force is intended 10

sides of the Rhine and beyond the Wis

lieved the militia is to be sent to South
Africa. Presumably they will replen'
ish the denuded British garrison towns
and thus permit the government TO
send to the Cape all the regulars rem
dered necessary by the Developments

A supplementary army estimate mas
been issued, asking the House OF oom
mons to vote an additional $4,000 mer

the IS, 900 men represent the probable
maximum excess beyond the establish
ment fixed for the year, and is in con
sequence of the calling out OF the re
serves and of the temporary transfer
of troops from the Indian to the Brit

FILIPINos WOULD SELL OUT.
General Pho del Pillar VIII Not Attack Ma
nIIlA n Given $4,000.

Manila, Oct 2O.-General Otis has
received messages purporting to come
from the insurgent General Pho del
Pillar, offering to sell out and deliver
his army into the hands of the Ameri-
cans Although he is not satisfied that
this offer is not authentic, it is not in
trinsically improbable The policy of
General Otis is firmly set against buy
ing any surrenders.
Pho del Pillar offers, for the sum of
$50, 900, to refrain from attacking Ma
Mia with his army; for the sum OF
$3.50, 900 he offers to surrender his army
after a sham battle, both sides firing
into the air, and for the sum of $500, 900
he says he will procure the overthrow
of the inAurrection and the capture OF
Aguiualdo, Palermo and other leaders.
In the course of the communication he
refers to Aguinaldo in contemptuous
terms, indicating that strained rela-
tions exist between them.
Reports have been received from the
districts occupied by the enemy which
state that Pho del Pillar has an audac-
ious plan to break through the Ameri-
can lines into Manila and seize General
Otis and the archbishop. Possibly these
rumors were started with an idea OF
helping him to make deal with the
Americans.
1t is needless to say that the Ameri-
cans would welcome an attack OF that
sort. There has been much speculation
of late regarding the whereabouts OF
| Pho del Pillar. The recent attack al
La Iona is credited to his men. 1t Is
believed he is now in the vicinity OF
San Mateo valley with force OF from
/, 800 to 1900 men.

The Columbia was more fleet and left
her in the rear.
The rush of the yachts through the
seas on the last tack was magnificent.
Geysers spurted from the bows and
drenched the sailors lying piled up
against the weather rail. As the gal
liant Yankee shot across the finish be-
tween the lightship and the committee
boat, the shippers of the fleet that had
got there in time almost forgot to open
their whistles, so absorbed were they
in the stirring spectacle.
The Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton's steam
yacht, hoisted the stars and stripes in
honor of the victor, and was honored
by salutes and cheers from all the craft.

steam would carry them. But the big
sloops set so hot pace that they left
half the tug boats and some of the
steam yachts astern.
