Grcnt Crowd Witnesses the Ceremony
No Protest Filed at Amy
Time.

New York, May 10 In the pro-
cathedral on Stanton street Rev. DR..
Charles \. Briggs, who was suspended
for heresy by the Presbyterian assem-
bly,, was ordained II priest of the Epis-
copal church. He was ordained together
with Rev. Charles a. Snedeker, and the
ordination ceremonies were conducted
by Bishop Potter. The little church
was crowded with people and the cere-
monies were notable for the quietness
that prevailed. Those who expected,
from the great cutlery of the past three
orfour weeks, some sensational features
were disappointed. There was no scene,
no excitement. and no protest was filed
at the beginning, during or AT the close
of the ordination. There was nothing
notable in the sermon preached by Rev.
DIR. George William Douglass.
The ceremonies were very long, com
mencing at 1880 o'clock and continue
ing until late in the afternoon.

Washington, May l2.|-- The indus
trial commission Thursday heard the
first witness to be calledin connection
with its inquiry into the operation OF
trusts. The witness was Hon. James
w. Lee, of Pittsburgh. attorney for sew
eral pipe line and oil companies, and
formerly state senator of Pennsyi-
vania. Mr.. Lees testimony was direct
ed especially against the Standard OIL
company.
As means of prevention OF trusts,
Mr.. Lee suggested II law making de-
structive competition criminal Of
Tense lie thought the fear Of imprison-
ment would intiinidatc some of them.
Nothing had done so much as destruc-
tive competition To prevent progress
and fairness. The law could be passed
by the states, and in case of prosecu-
it;on prices charged for years could be
used in evidence. He would also sug-
gest that the capital of all corporations
except those of public or quasi-public
nature should be limited to $1,000,000.
He thought that something of this kind
was necessary, and that il a remedy was
not found the country would be ruined
by combinations of capital detrimental
TO the public interests. Under the pres
ent conditions personal ambition was
stined, and many men were being Kept
out of business because of the existence
of these combinations.

some time to give the admiral, the Of

portunity for rest. Like all the Olym'
pia's company, Admiral Dewey is much
run down by his long stay in II tropical
port without change and under the
rigid conditions incident To war foot
ing.
All are delighted at the prospect OF
returning home. The officers have had
little shore leave, and have been obliged
always to be on shipboard by shutdown.
The crew have had still less leave, and
show the effects of a year spent on
hot ship under an enervating sun.
The Olympia will proceed from
Manila to Hong-Kong, where a fort
night will be spent in transforming the
mud colors which she was painted to
white, having up to this time been un.

Kong the cruiser will be coaled and

BRYANISM AND BUSINESS.
The Democratic Policy Is Always
Against the Hest Interests OF
the Country.

In an Austin dispatch to the st. Louis
Republic, a democratic newspaper, a
correct notion is unconsciously given
of the position of the democratic party
MS to business interests. The antitrust
bill which was passed by the Arkansas
legislature in spite of the opposition of
business men is now before the Texas
legislature. Thus does the chase against
the octopus leap over state boundaries.
Here is the effect which the new
trust measure produces upon the Texas
business men:
This mornings train brought hundreds
Of business men from every section of the
state to make personal appeals to the mem
bers of the Legislature not to pass the
bill. In addition, appeals from every sec
continued to pour in upon the members
asking that the bill be killed. Fire in
surance men swarmed in to see that they
were eliminated from the provisions OF
the bill"
In Cisco some merchants publicly
stated that they were in favor of tarring
and feathering any member of the leg
islature who voted for the antitrust
law" So strong is the hostility of Texas
business men to the bill.
While they were denouncing it and
preparing to fight it the speaker of the
Texas house of representatives got this
telegram from the democrats in the
Arkansas house of representatives:
1.-THE house of representatives OF the Ar
kansas Legislature await with anxiety the
vote on your antitrust bill. 1t tends TO
redeem democratic pledges. The hearts of
the masses go out to you"
Business men may protest and bust
ness may suffer, but the democratic

A SEDITIoUS ACT.
American Asn,nRldoists Are Array
Ing Themselves Against 9'heii
Own Country.

The offense committed by Edward At
kinson in seeking to send certain in
flammatory documents to the soldiers
in the Philippines may not be openly
an act of treason, but il was seditious
act, of which no man would be guilty
who was not an INSCRIPTIONS partisan.
The course which the government has
taken in the premises is mild, but emf
nently judicious. Ii has made no at
these documents within the limits of
this country, because they can do no
harm here. 1t has only forbidden the
use of the mails for their transmission
to troops in the field, There is no regu-
lation of the army or of war which JUS
titles such transmission. Its effect
would be the subversion of discipline
and ultimately of military authority.
If any person were allowed to send
documents of this character to soldiers
in the field rejecting upon the authori-
~ of their superiors, advising them
that they are engaged in an unjust
cause, urging them not TO reenlist and
stigmatzing their work as murder and
massacre. il would not be long before
disturbances occurred which would de-
stroy the usefulness of the army. The
restriction of Atkinson's seditious plot
ting to this country is Legitimate and it
is timely. The war with the Filipinos
is rapidly nearing its close. Aguinaldo
himself is prepared to admit the SOW
ereignty of the United States, and the
administration is on the eve of making
such concessions as will insure to the
Filipinos the measure of self-govern-

tary government, however, is not at an
end yet, and it may not be for some
time to come, and the administration
cannot and should not tolerate the send

whose duty it is to carry out the orders
of their superiors unless it is prepared
to invite mutiny.
Those persons who are making such
n clamor over the alleged invasion of the
right of free speech and unwarranted
