vance:
"An orange Free State force, with few
guns, moved about ten miles down Tintwa
pass, opening with artillery on small Brit

object may have been either feint to draw
our troops from the real point of attack, or
prelude to Boer concentration against

M'KlNLeY HOME FROM WEST
Executive Party Renches Washing

and Mrs. Hitchcock and Attorney General
GTiggs, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and
Mr.. Finney, private secretary to the secre-
tary OF the navy, members OF the press ana

three cabinet officers mentioned had left the
party at various points on the road. The
train was met at the station by Secretary
Root Adjutant General Corbin District Mar
shal Palmer and John Addison Porter, secre-
tary to the president.
Some anxiety was caused at first by the
announcement that the train was delayed
three-quarters of an hour near Baltimore,
but 1t was afterward learned that the only
trouble lay in the combination OF sharp
curve, heavy grade and wet rails In the tun-
mel, which necessitated backing out to get
another engine.
The train was stopped, as usual, on the
Sixth street siding outside the Pennsylvania
station. The presidents carriage drove to
the door of the car and the president and
Mrs. Mckinley stepped directly into the car
riage and were driven at once to the White

than on her return from her last trip west,
and 1t was agreed by the members of the
party that she had improved in health on

HANNA DEFINES HIS POSITION
Ohio Senator Discusses Question Of Trusts
in Speech at Cleveland
MATTER OF BUSINESS, NOT POLITICS
Formation of Combines is simply nm
Evolution In Business Methods
and Ought Never to Have Been
brought into Politics.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. Ex-senator Hanna
in a speech before the Fifth District Repub-
lican club tonight defined his position re-
garding the trusts. On this subject he said:
THE democrats say l am afraid to talk
about the trusts. That settles it. I'm go
ing to talk about them. This combination
of capital for one purpose or another Is not
a 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
prices less than asked in their own country.
Then followed the protective tariff law
enacted by that friend OF the workingman,
William Mckinley, Having secured this
protection American manufacturers went
abroad. They are making rapid strides and
successfully competing with the whole world.
1t Is evident they cannot continue to do so
unless they have combined capital. We
ought to own and control our own merchant
vessels. We would then be in shape to make
our own rates and compete with other ma
| tions on an equal rating.
I'VE have reached a stage where we are
doing more exporting than importing, The
| last year was the first year in the history
| of the country that this was true, but we
muet look to the future. We must stand
prepared for the changes that are bound to
| come. This formation of combines is
| simply an evolution in business methods
Should railways own their own steamship
lines there would be marked change in the
rates All this requires capital and SUCH o
tremendous amount that no ordinary cor
poration could stand it.
"The so-called trusts are not new. They
| have been found in England and Germany
as far back as 200 years and are increasing
| Therefore, from business standpoint
| the formation OF these combinations
in one sense is step forward. The demo-
Gratis will have you believe that they are
| terrible anacondas and will swallow us up
| However IL the trusts are menace tc
the country, what party better than the re-
publican can give you relief? When 1t comes
| down to plain facts the various labor or
! ganizations are sort of trust and believe
in them and always have. They are, be-
lieve, for the purpose Of helping the in
dividual members. The employer should &C
band in hand with the organizations Of the
employed. In that way much good could
be done"
