The Prince of Orleans was recently hunting in remote mountain region of Steiermark. Naturally the interest of the surrounding populace was con- centrated on their princely guest, and the words Prince Prince of Orleans" went from mouth to mouth.

The diamond cutters of Antwerp are in state bordering on panic, owing to the diamond trade crisis resrlting from the war in the Transvaal. The Amsterdam diamond syndicate has all ready doubled the market price, mer- chants in rough diamonds have stopped buying and soon there will be no stock on hand for the cutters, so that the men will have no work until the war closes. Coming on top of the recent labor conflicts in the diamond cutting trade in both Amsterdam and Antwerp the situation is looked upon as grave. The majority of the diamond cutters spend their money as fast as they earn 1t, and if the war lasts all winter there will be terrible suffering among the l. 300 or 2,000 cutters of Antwerp.

It is said that John R. Mclean really believed that he was going to be elected governor of Ohio The Washington correspondent of the Boston Globe says: It is a remarkable thing, as showing how badly that gentleman was fooled, that as late as Tuesday he telegraphed to friends in this city to bet, to bet everything they owned, on his election. He was sincere in telling them to do this, as there was nothing to be gained by his misleading his friends and making them lose their money. Some of these friends took his advice and plunged heavily on the re- suit, and now they are going around town sorrowfully and wishing that the Democratic candidate had not been quite so enthusiastic.

There was silence for moment or two
as the officer drew in a stake and dealt the
cards.

CHAPTER w.
NEW YORK IN IT'S.

NEW YORK IN lIIS.
New York at this period was scene Of
confusion.
The fear Of the French, which had occa-
stoned the evacuation of Philadelphia had
brought horde of 1900 soldiers to be set
down among 5000 others, where but scant
preparations had been made to receive
them. What with the smart of the lashng
administered by Washington at Monmouth
On their march across New Jersey. the
weakness of Howes fleet, the fear OF a sud-
den movement on the city by the Americans,
end the intense heat of the weather. the
army was in state bordering on panic.
IL was an army, too, that through rank
and file had been demoralized by inactivity
and debauch and nothing could have been
more apt or prophetic than the remark made
by Franklin when it became known to him
that the Delaware had been opened by
Howe: Philadelphia has succumbed to the
British, but they in turn will succumb to
Philadelphia"
1t had been even so, but the effect had be-
come apparent in New York. The civil law
had long been prostrate; the military au-
thority lax. Now the British were waking
in the condition of man after nights dis
spation, battling with muddled brain, and
gear. Fraud, fear and incompetence reigned
in every branch Of the service, and betwixt
FIRE, vandalism and the necessities of war,
New York, which had never known and was
never to know the dignity of battle, suffered
a. no besioged city could suffer more.
All this suited my purpose, as well as di-
rectly favored my interest. The influx OF a
host OF newcomers saved me from being
prominent as a stranger, and the extra prep
arations for the defense OF the town, to-
gether with the knowledge that the French
were at last upon the sea, diverted attcn-
tion from small naval ventures.

Will Hardly Figure as . Feature
I'm the Coming National
Campaign.

Many states, without distinction an
TO the party controlling the Legislature.
have made the past few months menu
orable for their attempts TO destroy or
regulate trusts. There seems To have
been common concurrence in the view,
especially since Attorney-General
Griggs pointed out the misapprehen-
sions as TO the force and effect of the
federal laws relating TO trusts, that any
attack upon the great industrial mo-
nopolies must have state Initiative.
The federal courts, under decision of
1894, cannot suppress combination or
monopoly for manufacturing a neces-
sary of life. The government prose-
cutes unlawful combinations affecting
interstate commerce, but many of the
trusts do not come under this head.
"If amenable to any law" says the at
torney-general, they are nmenable to
the laws of the respective states" Con-
sequently the states have been doing
what they could TO get at the trusts.
and some of them have gone very far
in punitive legislation. Especially is
this the case in Michigan, where the
republican Legislature is at work try
ing To shut trusts out of the state alto
gether.
III the regulation of trusts is a state
affair and one upon which all parties
are agreed, il is difficult TO see how
national campaign issue can be made
OF 1t. A party might fight to plant an
antitrust clause in the constitution,
A,.4 IA no - no, aftxs for
an opponent except perhaps an organ
ization of trust capitalists. Certainly
the democracy will not be able to
maneuver the republican party into
such position. The average repub-
lican is quite as much ayerse as the
average democrat 10 having his ex-
penses increased TO make dividends on
watercd stock for constituencies cor
porations. If there is any doubt on
that point look at his record in the va
rious antitrust legislatures and in pub
lie expressions of opinion. Mr.. Bryan
himself is no more vigorous in his OPP
position 10 trusts than is Gov. Pingree
and a score of other republican lead
ers; and il n representative republic
an here and there is tied up with trusts
he can be matched by representative
democrat who is in the same fix. The
cupidity that organizes trusts has no
partisan politics any more than the in
stinct of self-preservation has which re-
sists them.
Quite likely some of the drastic laws
passed by states will be adjudicated be-
fore the national campaigns begin.
Should they stand the test there will
be no need of any better weapons, and
