PIECEMEAL DEFENCE.
General AIger Gradually to State His
Position.

Washington, July 26-Secretary AL
ger seems to have decided to defend his
course by piecemeal- He gave out a
statement showing that he originated a
plan to send the Spanish soldiers in
Cuba to their native and and that he
saved the government nearly half
million dollars by employing the meth
DDS suggested
His next move, it is said, will be to
make public correspondence which will
show that he had all along favored
sending more men to the Philippines,
in face OF the opposition of the presi-
dent and General Otis Another INSTALL
ment, it is said, will come later to show
that he was not responsible for the
many bad appointments which resulted
in the suffering of so many troops dur
ing the Spanish war.
There will be quite a long series of
these statements, if the present plans
are carried out, all tending to show
that many of the things for which the
secretary has been blamed are properly
chargeable to other officials.
The secretary's original intention was
to make one complete statement the
day after his retirement, giving the
defense of his conduct during the entire
period as secretary of war, but he has
evidently come to the conclusion that
his statements will be more effective
if made upon the installment plan.

LIKE THE DOUGLASS IDEA.
The Former Kansan's Trust Scheme
Likely to Lead to Campaign.

Chicago, July 26.-George L Douglass
plan for taking the trust question out
OF politics and incidentally getting for
the Republican party the credit of solv-
ing the problem is we'll received by Chi
CagO Republicans and by fellow mem
bers of the Marquette club. 1t is too
early, however, to say positively wheth-
er the Marquette club is willing to take
hold Of the idea and campaign" for it,
although such action IS extremely prob
able.
Mr.. Douglass idea. as explained in
Washington, is to meet the trust prob
lem with federal action. Attorney Gen
eral Griggs having given as his opinion
that there IS no effective method OF
reaching these combinations now except
through state courts and the state stat
utes not having been very effective Mr..
Douglass suggests that the federal gov
eminent be given a free hand. He
would have a constitutional amendment
putting these combinations wholly un-
der federal authority. He suggests that
congress could, during the coming SEES
sion. take the necessary steps for sub
hitting this question to the people.
which would wholly remove the QueS-
ton from partisan politics in 1900.
Definite expression of opinion on this
proposition is difficult to get. for the
reason that men of the calibre of the
Marquette clubs leading and influential
members prefer to give such a large
subject careful consideration before
committing themselves on any phase of
A. 1t IS new idea-Mr. Douglass sug-
gested constitutional amendment So
many people, too. are in the habit of
thinking of the constitution as aIl-suf-
hcient in its present state for any emer-
gency. that they hesitate to give assent
to proposition for its amendment
Most Of the men seen yesterday took
this view OF it, hesitating 10 give an
opinion Off-hand which might not be
confirmed by careful consideration. In
the main, however though unwilling to
DE quoted. they were inclined to think
Mr.. Douglass had struck at the root
of the whole question by proposing a
constitutional amendment.
A better understanding OF what may
come of this suggestion can be had when
Mr. Douglass returns from the east and
speaks for it in person. He will I'M
doubtedly be asked-if he needs an in
Vitation. which is not likely. he being a
member Of the clubs political action
committee-to bring this trust question
before the Marquette club for formal
discussion This can not be done effec-
lively. however, until toward autumn.
as so many of the clubs members are
out Of the city.

FOR ANNEXATION
A Paper Started In Cuba With That

Havana. July 26.-El Diario de La

President McKinley's expression Of

asks if he will allow the Cubans to
govern themselves entirely, the Amer

hygiene which latter, of course, vitality
affects them. The paper says: ANY
form of government which may be es-
tabIished will be better than the present.
Let the Americans have all the control
they see fit. but let the Cubans have
popular representatives to assure a le-
gal manifestation of the will of the
people. When President Mckinley be-

GOULDS OUT OF IT.
No Longer In Control of the St Louis
Southwestern.

Southwestern.
New York, July 26.-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
The Goulds are understood no longer
to have control of the st. Louis South
western railroad. 1t is stated reliably
that banking houses identified to some
extent with the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois now hold a majority interest in
the property. Most of the improvements
which have been recently made in the
way of new equipment, heavier rails
and better roadbed have been at the
instance of the new interest now in
control. The payment of the interest
on the second income bonds was forced
by the present controlling element, very
much against the wishes of the Goulds,
WhOS prefer to keep the money in the
treasury. Edwin Gould retains the
presidency, but is no longer the active
manager of the property which work
now devolves upon the vice president
and general manager who was formerly
with the Great Northern and who has
practically revolutiOnized the business
in the property.
The connecting line of about 81 miles
which will run from the northern termi-
nus of the St. Louis Southwestern to
the southwestern terminus of the Chi
cagO and Eastern Illinois will, it is ex-
pected, be completed within about 80
days. When this is actually finished
through trains can be operated from
Chicago to the gulf over a shorter route
than any except the Illinois Central
which, however, has the disadvantage
of not having as good port facilities as
can Re offered by the Southwestern.
With the train mileage question the
predominant feature of modern rail-
reading, the new line will be particu-
larly well equipped, as the improve
ments on the Southwestern have
brought that line up to date email bling
the running of the heavy locomotives
and cars of the Eastern Illinois over the
entire line. It is authoritatively stated
that the Rock Island system does not
figure in the new deal.

as a matter Of fact I think you have
very little to fear. In case one of your

Third Rail System Is Tested With
Success on a Railroad In the

New Haven, Conn, July 26.-For the
first time in American railroad history
a train of eight cars was today pulled
by a third rail motor. The experiment
took place on the Cohasset- Braintree

and Hartford railroad, near Boston, and
was highly successful. Trains win here
after run regularly over the u miles
Of that branch. The third rail system
has been tried in Hartford. but only a

to run long trains proves satisfactory
nearly all the branch lines of the con-
sOlidated road will be equipped with the
