Burglars Make a Couple of Small Hauls
Monday night burglars entered the
home of Andrew Mcintosh and Chris
Hanson, getting small amount Of money
and watch in each place. Entrance
was gained to the Mcintosh home by
cutting the screen from one of the
kitchen windows. The next morning Mr..
Mcintosh found his trousers lying on
the kitchen table and an empty money
purse lay beside them. The contents,
about S16, were missing as we'll as his
watch and chain. 1t is believed that
nothing else was taken. At Chris. Han
sons the housebreaker got in about the
same way, relieving him of his watch
and chain and something over S. in
change. The watches taken are de-
scribed as follows and SO reward will be
paid for their recovery: Elgin G M
Wheeler No. 994370, silver case No. 469,-
673, open face, stem wind, lever set.
Open face, silver, changed from key to

Is size, No. 1925. No track has as yet
been obtained as to the identity of the
thieves. A good many suspicious char
acters are seen about town these days
but the officers do not feel at liberty to
take them in without some illegal act is
known to be committed by them. Our
readers however need to be we'll on their
guard for the next few weeks and the
better plan, however, is not to keep much
money about your homes.

ALL But RUSSIA RESPONDED.
The Important Question as to Trade
with China.

Chicago, Dec. 2S.--A special to the Rec
ord from Washington says:
All of the European governments, except
Russia, have notified the department of
state that they are prepared 10 give in
writing the guarantees requested some
weeks ago by the merchants ard manu-
facturers in the market of China Wher-
ever their spheres of influence" extends.
This is the most important commercial
position that has engaged the attention
of our diplomatic service for many years,
and it is the first time the United States
has assumed or expressed a determiua-
ton to assert itself in oriental affairs 1t
marks one more departure in our diplo-
matte policy, and adds another to the long
list of innovations which has charac terized
the present administration.
In the partition of China we have taken
no part England, France, Russia, Italy,
Belgium Japan and other Powers engaged
in a struggle for commercial and political
supremacy there, have divided the terri
tory among them, and have agreed not to
interfere with each other in the CONNER

provinces they have selected.
The United States has been invited by
the powers to participate and had been
appealed to by China to intervene for it's

when Secretary Hay asked it in writing
they hesitated.
Then followed an interesting volume Of
correspondence between the foreign offices
and Europe and Secretary Hay and with
each other, which has resulted in the
preparation of a pledge In uniform Ian

Russia, that an open door for trade

ECONOMISTS AND TRUSTS.
They Favor Combinations But BE-
lieve i'm Publicity.

Ithaca. N. Y, Dec 2S.-To-day's ses-
sion of the American Economic Assoeia-
ton was devoted to a discussion of trusts.
All of the speakers thought general ten-
dency toward combinations in the nature
of trusts to be inevitable.
One of the most interesting papers on
the question was read by Prof. Sydney
Sherwood of Johns Hopkins University,
which dealt with ''The Influence of Trusts
in the Development of Undertaking Gen
ius."
After expressing the opinion that ten
dency toward combinations of capital was
natural and remarking that he welcomed
it as being but step in the complete
organization of industry, he said:
Successful industry to-day requires, as
never before, larger and more complex
organization. The costly wastes of mol
ern production are due to a scarcity of
able leaders of enterprises. 1t is a fuuc-
ton of the trust TO get rid of the weak
IL is the natural and spontaneous effort of
progressive industrial organization to get
the genius at its head which has produced
the trust. The stability of the trust de-
ponds upon its getting and keeping the
highest of leadership The real monopoly
element in the trust is the monopoly of
genius. Our future economic supremacy
will probably depend upon trusts A wise
policy is TO increase their possibilities for
good, while diminishing their possibilities
for evil, through effectual legislation"
Mr. James B. Dill delivered an address
on Some Tendencies in Recent Comblua-
tons Which May Become Dangerous"
He defined the first danger to be from
without the trust rather than from within,
and to lie in "unwise and hysterical legis-
lation against corporations indiscriminate-
ly."
These hasty denunciation he said
"are of more real peril than the trust it,
self" The speaker went on to outline the
dangers which would result if corporations
and trusts We're to be permitted to con-
tinue the issue of fictitious stock, and he
said the one great remedy for all evils
arising out of trusts and like combina ton
was summed up in the word Publicity"
The speaker ridiouled the attempts
which have been made in this and other
states to require publicity IN CORPORATE aft
fairs and expressed a desire that Congress
should act in the matter.

Washington Dec. 2s.-To-day the Inter-

rivers. The petition OF the shippers was
that the commission should transmit the
evidence taken before IL 10 the Attorney
General with a recommendation that he
institute legal proceedings. by injunction
or otherwise to restrain the railroads from
putting the new classification into effect.
To the request of the shippers the COM
mission in part complies. The evidence
and arguments are transmitted to the
Attorney General. but without recon-
mendation.
The letter says:
''The protesting shippers assert that in
creases in rates to the extent effected by
these changes in classification, are with
out justification, and will result In excess
siye charges upon most II not all the ar
tices in question. They also allege that
hardship and injustice win further result
from the changes. which will be made IN
the relation of rates, and especially from
