TALKING ON TRUSTS.
The Attendance Is Very Light, But May
Increase,

1uCI0d6os
Chicago, September 13.-The civic fed
| Grafton conference on uses and abuses OF
trusts and combinations, with represen-
tative men from nearly every state in at
tendance opened here to-day. Central
Music Hall was packed with 200 dele
gates and hundreds spectators. The
meeting was called to order by chairman
Franklyn H. Head.
Roll-call disclosed the fact that the
greater part of the delegates are yet to
arrive. Responses were few and far be-
tween. Governor Pingree, it was an
nounced, would arrive tonight. Secre-
tary Easley said the delegates would
arrive tonight and tomorrow, having
found it impossible to attend the open
| ing session.
The New York delegation, headed by
w. Bourke Cochran, was we'll repre-
sented. DR.. Howard S. Taylor, as rep
resentative of Mayor Harrison, and
for Governor Tanner, delivered ad-
dresses of welcome.
The first taste of real business con-
fronting the delegates came in papers
delivered by Professor J. w. jerks and
Professor Henry Carter Adams, both
under the caption of Problems Before
| the Conference"
Where competition is excluded or
where conditions are such as to give
! one competitor advantage over anotl. :,
| nothing remains but public supervl-
sion," said Prof Adams.
John Graham Brooks, who lectures on
social economics at Harvard Universi-
ty, read a paper under the head, "Are
gerous?'
A resolution was adopted that COM
mittee to conduct the business of the
conference after to-day be made UP of
one representative of each state delega-
ton, and each delegation representing a
national organization. Delegates repre-
senting local organizations from va
rious cities, it was decided, should have
a hand in selecting committeeman of
the delegation for their state.
Trouble started Immediately after a
motion to appoint committee on pro-
gram and rules was carried. Secretary
John w. Hayes, of the knights Of La
Dor, announced he did not propose to
be associated in any way with the New
Jersey delegation. This announcement
was vigorously applauded. August
Cans, Of Chicago, moved that the
knights of Labor and other labor Or
ganizations be recognized on the same
basis as the states. After much discus
sion the motion was carried.

The President Of the Republic Of

FOR THE PARIS EXPOSITION
Dreyfus Is Liable to Collapse and It Is
Said That President Loubet Will Issue
aFull Pardon to the Unfor-
tunate Prisoner.

Paris, September 13.-Mme. Dreyfus
fears her husbands health may soon
break down completely. Dreyfus nerved
himself up during the Rennes trial, but
the reaction is such that physicians
consider his case hopeless, and say any
day a fatal collapse may ensue. Mean
while, intervention by President Lou
bet, by according Dreyfus full pardon,
is regarded by those nearest the presi-
dent as almost certain. This would be
followed by wiping out all old scores,
reducing the pending trial which origi-
mated in the Dreyfus affair to mere
empty formalities, releasing DR.. De
Roulede and his royal companions, and
liquidating the whole situation by
general amnesty preparatory to the
worlds fair in 1900

TROUBLE OYER A TRANSPORT.
1t Is Said to Be Crowded with American
Soldiers.

Hong Kong, Sept. 13.-The United
States transport Tartar, which expected
to sail today, has been detained by the
harbor authorities under the British
merchant shipping act whereby her
capacity is limited to $50 passengers,
although the Tartar has a licensed
capacity of 1,34O.
Consul Wildman, representing the
United States government, took the
matter at once before the local govern
ment authorities and maintained that
the Tartar is an American troop ship
although she is flying the British flag,
and is not subjected to the merchant
shipping act.
1t is probable that $50 soldiers on
board will be left behind when she is
finally permitted to sail for San Fran
cisco. Several discharged soldiers on
board the Tartar filed complaints of her
unsanitary condition, which started the
proceedings to detain the vessel.
The Goth Kansas volunteers, with
General Funston, are aboard but it is
believed the volunteers made no COM
plaint and are anxious to have clear
ance granted the ship in order that they
may proceed homemard. A private ca
blegram says the complaint over the
crowding was made by discharged reg
ulars.
The Tartar Is owned by the Canadian
Steamship Company. She sails under
the British flag. 1t is said under these
conditions she is subject to British nav
igation laws.
Secretary Root decided to take up the
matter of the Tartar with the state de-
partment, with a view to having the
ship cleared at Hong Kong. The war
department made public the following
dispatch:
Hong Kong, September 13-British
authorities refuse to clear the Tartar
because she is overcrowded. Authorize
1924.
(Signed) "METCALF,
Colonel Goth Kansas"
The Tartar was carrying 1901 soldiers.

The FILIPINO REPLY.
They Feared the Future in American
Hands.

Manila, September 13-A correspond
ent of the Associated Press has OBJ
tanned a copy of a reply adopted by the
Filipino congress to the American offer
of autonomous government. The au-
thor of the reply was Ambrosio Rien-
zares, who was offered a position in the
supreme court, but failed to appear.
The document repeats the arguments
contained in the recent appeal to the
powers for recognition and the Filipino
claims that Americans We're the aggres-
sors in war, and concludes: "Notwith-
standing the foregoing we could have
accepted your sovereignty and autono-
my if we had not seen by the behavior
Of Americans in the beginning that they
We're strongly opposed to us through
race prejudice and a high handed meth
cd in dealing with US made us fear for
the future in your hands"

COCHRAN TO K'KINLEY.
The Latter Urged to Act As Peace

New York, September 1S.-Ex- Con-
gressman w. Bourke Cochran has writ
ten an open letter to President McKin
ley, suggesting that he make proffer
of friendly mediation in the British
Boer trouble. He says: "If there be
other and sounder reasons than those
assigned by the press for the attitude of
the British government in South Africa
its position will be strengthened by a
disclosure of them. A friendly but
urgent tender Of your good offices would
undoubtedly evoke full and complete
statement of the grounds on which the
peace and integrity of the Transvaal
are threatened. Such a statement
would be powerful obstacle to hostil-
tiles, for it would enable the civilized
world to form judgment on the merits
of the controversy, and in all probable
lty that judgment would impose Itself
on both disputants."
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-09-13

urging the government to do likewise,
there is no intention upon the part of
the British government Of taking any
such step. 1t is also unlikely the agita-
tion will result in any general with
drawal Of British exhibits.
Berlin, September 13.-The German
government organs have been quick to
issue a warming against the proposed
boycott of the Paris exposition. Ger

Wheat Gambling War.

Chicago, September 13.--What is be-
lieved by many traders to be the prob
able beginning of an elevator war start
ed in the wheat market to-day. The
scramble of the shorts for September
wheat early in the session added nearly
2 cents to the price in half an hour, and
apparently brought to light a fight
among the wealthy elevator firms
Wetre & Co, Armour g. Co. and Peavey
& Co. being the firms most vitally in
terested. 1t was evident a short inter-
est existed
