DISCUSSION OF TRUSTS
American Economic Association De-
 votes Day to the Subject

Ithaca N. Y, December 28-Today's ses- sion of the American Economic association was devoted to discussion of trusts All of the speakers thought a general tendency toward combinations in the nature of trusts to be inevitable. Professor Sidney Sher- wood, of Johns Hopkins university said:
 "The regular monopoly element in the trust is the monopoly of genius. Our future economic supremacy will pIobably depend upon trusts. A wise policy is to increase their possibilities for good, while dminish-. ing their possibilities for evil through, ef- fectual legislation"
 Professor Sherwood defined kls position as that of capitalist rather than an op- timist.
 James B. Hill defined the fre. danger to be from without the trust rather than from within and to lie in "unwise and hys- terical legislation against corporations in- discriminatory" The speaker said the one great remedy for all evils arising out of trusts and like combinations was summed up in the word publicity"

Pott Has Private Wire

London. December 2s.-A correspondent of the Standard at Lourenzo Marques says:
 "Delagoa Bay is the residence of Herr Pott, Hollender, who is consul general for the Transvaa1 and consul for the Netherlands. Pott is the principal medium between Pretoria and Dr. Leyds in Europe. He controls the Netherlands railway through the Transvaal and is the head of the Transvaal customs. He is also head of the Dutch East Africa company, and has the ear of the Portuguese governor, as we'll as the chief of each department
 Tt is openly asserted that Pott has a private wire to the frontier and knows twenty-four hours before others what is happening. About him gather all the other consuls, the Portuguese officials and the German forwarding agents.
 If Delagoa Bay Is closed, the Boers will retaliate by raiding Portuguese territory.

INSURERS TROUBLES
Attorney General Nash of Mississippi
 Has Instituted Proceedings

Jackson, Miss, December 2S.-Attorney General Wiley N. Nash, whose term of office expires in January, has created con- sternation and confusion in insurance cir cles by filing a bill of information in the Hinds county circuit court, declaring that all insurance companies doing business in the state and achno owledging allegiance to the Southeastern Tariff association have violated the state law regarding trusts and combines.
 He asks that their franchises and char ters be cancelled and the companies pre- vented from transacting further business in Mississippi.
 Attorney General Nash announces that he will carry the fight to the bitter end, but as his term expires shortly after the court meets, he will not be allowed to par ticlpate to any great extent The new attorney general, Hon. Monroe E. McClurg, however, promises to carry the fight on Governor McLaurin has engaged Messrs. Sterling and Harris of this city as asso- ciated counsel for the state. It is estimated that fully $25,OOOO 900 worth of policies are carried by the thirty-one companies named in the bill of information.
 The companies named by tine attorney general are as follows: Aetna, of Connecti- cut; American Fire, of Philadelphia; Cale- donia, of New York; Columbus Insurance and Banking company, of Mississippi Con- mercial Union, of New York; Delaware h. surance company; Fire Association, of Phfladelphia; Georgia Home; German American; Greenwich Hanover; Helvetia Home; Imperial Lancashire; Manchester Fire; North British and Mercantile; North ern Assurance; Norwich Union; Palantlne; Phoenix Assurance and Queen of New York Hartford Fire, of Connecticut; h. surance Company of North America; Lon don, Liverpool and Globe; Mechanics and Traders; Mississippi Home; National, of Connecticut; Pennsylvania Fire; Phalanx, of Hartford; Royal of Kentucky: Scottish Union; Natioinal Southern, of Louisiana; Springfield Fire and Marine; Sun of Louis Jana; Teutonic, of Louisiana Western of Canada, and Royal Exchange, of London.
 Last summer the Southeastern Tariff association established a stamping office in Jackson, the object of which was to scrutinlze insurance of all policies issued in this section of the state to see if there had been rate cutting among the agents.
 A camor at once arose, and prominent attorneys declared that the association was violating the antitrust law. Learning that the attorney general was then about to institute quo warranto proceedings, the stamping office was abolished, but Attorney General Nash insists that the trust still remains, and will endeavor to abolish tt so far as Mississippi is concerned.

ROBBERY AT NEWLANDS
Robbers Break Into a Safe and Rob 1t
 of $1,SOO

Selma, December 2S-(Spec ecial.)-Word reached here late yesterday afternoon ot what was perhaps the most successful burglary and safe cracking in the history of this section.
 The store of Pollard Bros, at NeWperne, in Hale county, was broken into Tuesday night, and, after breaking off the com bination knob of the safe, the Burglars drilled a hole in the lock and with powder CT dynamite blasted 1t open, and alter se- curing $1 800 in cash made off, leaving no clue that gives the slightest inkling or their identity.
 A horse and buggy and mule, also be- longing to Pollard Bros, are missing, and the natural supposition is that the burg lars took them to carry them to places ot safety.
 The work is supposed to be that of pro- fessional "crib crackers" The condition of the lock of the safe shows that it was not by the hand of a novice.

OFFICE SEEKERS
 ARE AFTER WOOD Will Take Just Anything With
 Salary Attached INSPECTING THE PRISONS The New Governor Pays UneX' pected Visits. RUESTl0N OF CABINET OFFICERT c- Many Reports asvs ut as to Who Will be Install 2 t General Wood ReNS o Confirm or ny Them | .ss
RUESTI0N OF CABINET OFFICERT

Havaf ecember 2S.-General Woods office is . ged daily by a crowd of offices seekers from all parts of the island. The applicants want everything or anything from cabinet secretaryship to janitorship. Despite the fact that the governor general receives on the average 500 people every twenty-four hours, he manages to find time to pay unexpected early morning visits to the asylums and jails. General Wood pre- fers to take the managers of such insttu- tions unprepared. Tomorrow he intends to inspect the leper hospital. Today he visited the Benefcencia. He does not intend to inc terfere in matters of policy before the new year. when the new cabinet will be ir1- stalled. It is generally reported by friend5 of the men named that Senor Villalon has been offered cabinet position.
 similar statement is made concerning Senors Varona, Estevesa and Tamayo. Senor Villalon is the present chief of public works at Santa Clara. Senor Verona was formerly editor of the Patria. Senor
 Estevesa is the president of the national
 party Senor Tamayo is judge of the sus
 preme court. i
 Most of these appointments. if made,
 would meet with public approval, but Ge11-
 eral Wood declines to confirm or deny in
 any case, asserting that he will not give out
 informa tfon on the subject until the cabinet has been decided upon. Cubans have been
 agreeably surprised by General Woods req
 fusal to allow the municipality of Cardenas
 to grant private contracts. .: Contrao. Not Recognized
 In a communication embodying his refus4
 al he said:
 "No such contract will be recognized ufl- til after the municipalities have been elect : ed an event which is only few months off. Then the will of the people will be
 known and provided there Is interferi ence with the prerogatives of the general govrnment municipalities will be allowed to use all rightful means of improving the country without interference from Ha- vana anywhere else"
 Several correspondents of American newspapers who have recently arrived here are much stirred up by wonderful stories published in tho local papers re-
 garding appointments, resignations, assas- sinations, and other strange happenings, As a matter of fact this is sort of a Cuban April fool day. It is the day of the inno-
 cents, when lying is considered legitimate. The barracks at Cienfuegos are to be cons verted into an orphans home and plans and estimates are to be submitted for fitting up workshops for the training of boys. A
 model cattle farm will be attached to the institution. i.AA.As

Boston, Mass, December 2S.-The conn mon council of Boston today, after spir- ited debate, adopted a resolution of sym pathy for the Boers. The resolution fol- lows:

Compromise Has Failed

Kingston, Jamaica, December 2S.-Co- lombian advices say the endeavors to ef- feet compromise between the government and the insurgents have failed, resulting in a renewal of hostilities. On the Pacific side both parties are making time while on the Atlantic side several fights have occurred. The government troops, it ap- pears, broke the truce and attacked the insurgents near Baranquilla, who retreat ed after 8 stubborn battle. The govern ment forces subsequently, fell into a trap and suffered severe losses. General Cas- abianca was wounded. Both sides are ap- parently powerless to hold the advantages gained, occasioning popular disgust and clamor for foreign intervention in behalf of commercial and concessioned industrial interests, which are threatened with ruin.

X CRITICISM OF AMERICAN PEOPLE Mexican Paper Predicts the Ma
 tion's Bankruptcy. ON A CAREER OF CONQUEST United States is Said to Have Joined England, Russia, France and Ger
 many in Seeking Aggran-
 dizement-Imperialism
ON A CAREER OF CONQUEST

City of Mexico, December 2S.-Imparcial, the leading newspaper and organ of the liberal party, has a significant article on what constitutes imperialism, and tends to show that the United States has joined England, Russia, Germany and France in a career of conquest and aggrandizement. Imparcial declares that imperialism and expansion are symptoms of national un- health, and argues that no nation which has ever played the imperial role has en- dured, and has seen itself shorn of pro- vinces and possessions as fast as the out lying provinces grew strong enough to shake off the yoke of their subjugators.
 It compares the conduct of the United States in the Philippines to that of Great Britain in South Africa, and ends by pre- dieting that all expanding nations will be forced to prodigal expenditure to maintain their hold on the new possessions and so will become bankrupt.
 This utterance from the chief liberal or gan is significant of the sentiments Of the members of that party, now dominant here
 There is a marked display in the press here of sympathy with the Boers. It Is re- ported that British residents are raising volunteer corps to join the army in South Africa.
 Fl Pals, the Catholic penny daily, attacks the American missionaries, charging them with misrepresenting Mexico in their home organs, depicting as barbarous the land where they labor among the heathens, and asks why they don't publish articles show ing the great progress made here in rail- ways, telegraphs, education and manufac- turing; but concludes that if they did not make the American people believe Mexico to be steeped in organism and barbarism, they could not secure funds to maintain their missions.

in every way than the British. The Ma tional zeitung publishes a similarly se- were article.
 The Kreuse zeitung says editorially: '"The best solution for Germany would be a peace guaranteeing the Boers their inde- pendenee and securing tEne future; that is, creating state whose frontier touches the sea- in crGer to enable it to adapt itself to the new times upon which South Africa is entering.
 That must be the policy of the Boers We don't desire the British to be wholly expelled from Africa, but we don't see the necessity for making the entire African continent British. Tfe ideas of Cecil Rhodes will split upon the rock of Boer coura ge."

In Regard to American Care oes

London, December 29.-"It is satisfac- tory" says the Times edtorially this morn- ing, ito learn that the Washington govern- ment is acting with regard to the American cargoes seized in Delagoa Bay as we should have wished and expected. It is matter, of course, that we shall make full repara- ton if reparation is proved to be due. In the meantime it may be noted, as the Americans themselves admit that the facts are in considerable doubt and that some of them seem to be rather compromising to the vessels seized. There will be time enough to talk of the law and the policy of the government when the facts have been authoritativey ascertained.

Lied for Something to Eat

Helena, Mont, December 2S.-Zackry T, Cason, who testified in the welcome disbar- ment case that United States Senator w. A. Clark told him that he would pay for votes for himself as senator, has recanted. A signed statement is in the hands of MT. Clark's friends in which Cason says his evidence was untruthful and that he gave it for $400; that his family was starving and he had to have the money. Cason expresses regret at the wrong done and hopes this rec traction may offset 1t somewhat.

What the Boers Would Demand

Durban, Natal, Saturday, December B. Winston Churchill on arriving here after his escape from the Boers received a tre- mendous ovation. He says that from con- versaton with members of the Transvaal executive at Pretoria he learned that the Boers began the war with trepidation, but that President Kruger is now confident that Great Britain will soon sue for peace. In the highest Transvaal circles, MT. Churchill asserts, there is serious talk of con- promise, by which Great Britain would cede the territory now occupied by the armies of the two republics, pay an indemnity or e2O, 600 900 ($1OO, ,OOO, ,0OW and acknowledge the complete independence of the Transvaal.

0Touch" Method Endorsed

Chicago, December 2S.-Resolutions en- dorsing the "Touch" method of type writ ing as opposed to the Sight method were adopted at todays session of the National Shorthand Teachers association. As the shorthand teachers represent large num- Der of the best schools of the country the end of endorsing particular system is regarded as important. A number of in- teresting papers were also read at the meeting,
