garded the evils called trusts as all in
cluded in the combipa tons of persons to
control trade.5 What an Individual could
accomplish n Trade was regarded as lesiti-
mate, but when great corporations were
aggregated together to control any given
branch Of trade or commerce or transporta-
ton, 1t became evident that the rights OF
the people were likely to be infringed. 1t
had for years been serious problem before
the law-making power to control these COM
binations; and upon THE solution of that
problem would, in hfs opinion, depend much
for the people,
Mr. Morgan declared that all the advan-
tages which had been gained by the trusts
had been obta1ned at the expense of the

will respond 70 the almost despairing de-
mand of the people for relief
Further along Mr.. Morgan referred to
the control obtainedsby certain trusts of

trusts, but had not passed from under con-
troll of the states. He declared that the
legislatures Of those states never would
consent to the Holding of those lands by
trusts, and intfmated that measures would
be taken by the Representatives of the peo-
pie to protect theirs interests.
Mr.. Morgan spoke, only briefly, his ar
gument being directed particularly to the
members of the committee on judiciary, to
which at the conclusion of his speech his
resolution was referred.
A bill to restore to their original status

MRS. GRIDLEY's PENSION.
To Increase the Amount Paid to Capt.
Grfdley's Mother.

Among the bills introduced in the Senate
today was one by Senator Mcmillan OF
Michigan increasing from so 10 $50 per
month the pension of Mrs. Ann E Gridley,
mother of the late Captain Charles V.
Gridley, who commanded Admiral Dewey's
flagship. the Olympia. in the battle Of Ma
Mia bay.
A few years ago Mrs. Gridley was granted
a pension Of $40 per month for services as
a Union nurse during the late war Of the
rebellion, both at the front and in the hos
pitfalls Of Washington. Annapolis and else
where. Mrs. Gridley contracted spotted
fever" as the result of nursing the Ander-
sonyille prisoners and her health was com
pletely broken down for many years. For
few years past she has occupied a clerk
ship In the land office, but her impaired
health and advanced age-she recently hav-
ing passed her seventy-third birthday
make it probable that she will not be able
to render clerical services very much
longer.
Both of Mrs. Gridleys sons were in the
Union service. her second son. now a clerk
IN the Treasury Department, having en-
lsted before he was sixteen years of age
Mrs. Grid.ey's valuable services as a nurse
are recognized by strong letters from the
late Senators Chandler and Ferry Of Mich
igan and former Governors Blair Baldwin
Croswell and Representative Waldron and
other prominent citizens of Michigan more
particularly by the late Judge Edmunds
who was postmaster of the Senate and sub
sequently postmaster of this city, and who
was also president of the Michigan Soldiers
Aid Association here during the ate war

PREDICTS INTERNATIONAL WAR.
Prof. Andrews Takes Gloomy View of
Europe's Position.

CHICAGO, December 1S.-"If Great Brit
ain IS ultimately successful in South Africa
the powers of the world will unite to resist
successfully her advance A coalition will
be formed against British domination, and
when this war OF the nations comes. which
side will the United States take? We must
take one side or the other That will be
sad day for our nation. Yet l say We never
have got into a scrape yet that we did not
get out of. And as prophetic American 1

The foregoing statement was made by Dr.
Z. Benjamin Andrews. former president of
Brown University and now superintendent
Of the Chicago public schools, in his ad-
dress on the War in South Africa at the
Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church
Sunday forum meeting, and Mr.. Andrews
international war was inevitable and would
follow the success of Great Britain in the
Boer war. He announced that from the
moment Kruger's followers surrendered
England necessarily would come in conflict
with other powers in carrying out its plans
of colonization. He declared that clashes
would follow the attempt to build the Cane
to Cairo railroad and the contemplated ef-
fort OF Great Britain to build a railroad
from the Suez canal to Bombay, which
would give that nation direct means of
throwing munitions of war into the lands
about the headwaters of the Euphratas
