HOW TO CRUSH THE TRUSTS.
W. j. Bryan Would Make Them Take
Out National License.


William J. Bryan passed through Winnie
mucca. New, yesterday on his way to Cali
fornia. He made an address to a large
crowd, and said:
Il believe the outlook for success in 1900
was never better than at present. On the
old questions of the campaign of 1896 We
are stronger than we were during that
campaign. On the new questions We are
gaining steadily.
1.-The Chicago platform will be reaffirmed
fact doubt whether any opposition to the
platform will manifest itself in the con-
vention at all. Two of the greatest of the
new issues that are before the country are:
First, the trusts
Second. the Philippine question.
The first question can scarcely be called
new, but the trusts have been so multi
piled that the question assumes an impor-
lance which it did not have in 1896
Many methods have been suggested for
the determination of the trusts. The most
feasible, II seems to me, is to require every
corporation to obtain a license from the
federal government before it is permitted
to do business outside the state in which
it is organized. This license can be granted
under conditions which will squeeze the
water out of the stock and prevent the
monopolization of any industry.
This nation must choose between being
republic an empire. An imperial
policy cannot be defended ON any ground.
From a financial standpoint it will be an
expense to a large majority of the people
and a profit only to the capitalists who
would organize syndicateS to develop the
Philippines. From religious point of view
it cannot be defended. A despotism at
Manila is not consistent with free gov
eminent in the United States. This nation
cannot endure while half its people are citi-
zens and half vassals.''

CHINA'S APPEAL FOR HELP
Piteous Letter of Empress Dowager to the

Europeans Are Greedy to Dismeabe1
Her Empire and She In
able to Prevent.

VANCOUVER. b. G.. August 3l-Maii
advices brought by the steamer Empress
OF China contain a rough translation of
the letter recently sent by the Empress
Dowager of China to the Emperor of Japan
on the proposed alliance between the two
countries. The letter thanked her maiesty's
good cousin for his good wishes. The writer
was In great difficulties. European powers
We're pressing for portion Of the empire
England. France. Germany, and last of
all. Italy had presented demands. and the
empress did not know what to do to sat
1sfy these greedy dogs. England was the
worst or all, for she had not disguised her
longing for the Yangste Kiang valley and
mad evidently set on Italy to claim Fuhkien
But she has done more: She has ATTEMPTED
To Illustrate her Uhe empressO relations
WITH Russia and openly protesting against
her advancing her eyes in North China
Such fndignities are insufferable and she
mad therefore addressed herself to her good
friend. the Emperor of Japan, for succor
in her distress.
Her promises of subsidies. of appointing
Japanese to command the fleet and armies
OF freedom of trade to Japanese ships and
merchants, accompanied this epistle, and.
finally. Japan was invited to enter into an
alliance, offensive and defensive, to get
rid of these dangerous enemies

REVIEWED BY THE SECRETARY.
Parade of Siege Battery o Of the
Seventh Artillery.

Siege Battery o of the It'll Artillery sta
toned at the Washington barracks was
reviewed by Secretary Root and Major
General Miles from the balcony of the Of
flee of the Secretary of War on 18th street
yesterday afternoon, and made creditable
showing.
There are only two such batteries in the
United States army. The other one is Bat
terry X Of the 9TH Artillery. stationed at
Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Although both are
siege batteries, there is a slight difference
in their equipment Battery o is provided
with six finch breech-loading howitzers.
while Battery K is provided with six 5-inch
breech-loading rifles.
In the absence of Capt. Williams (com-
manding Battery o., Lieut.. Philip r. Ward
had command of the troops today. and he
was the only commissioned officer In the
review. The battery is especially short
handed just at present, but nevertheless
made the best of it's opportunities. There
were about 120 men in line today.
Being an entirely new feature of the
military establishment. more than ord-
nary interest was shown in its movements.
1t represents the heaviest and most formi-
dable pattern of movable artillery and
formed quite a contrast to the better-known
light or flying artillery
1T takes eight horses to haul each gun
and carriage and an equal number to draw
the platform upon which they are mounted
for use.
The gun weighs $3.50 pounds and its
carriage 5000 pounds. and the platforms
nearly as much as both combined The
gun has an extreme range of five miles,
and carries projectile weighing los
pounds. Its weight is not too great for
transportation over ordinary roads and
pontoon bridges. 1t Is made heavier than
Is actually necessary for strength in order
that the surplus metal may reduce the
shock on the carriage. 1t is made of steel
and consists of tube, jacket, trunnion
band. sleeve, locking ring, key ring. base
ring and breech mechanism. 1t is designed
specially for siege service, and is reckoned
as one of the most formidable weapons en-
in IlIarr, rn,,f.n

MURDERER At LARGE,
Comment Over Failure to CAPTURE
Egypt Galloway.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
EVANSVILLE. Nd. August ~. 1888
Considerable comment has been aroused
i'll this community by the failure of the
law officers to capture Egypt Galloway,
the murderer of Dorsey. Reliable farmers,
residing within a radius of two miles of
Bladensburg, have reported that they have
seen and spoken to him on at least four or
five different occasions the past week and
last Friday evening. at about 1880, he was
seen within hundred yards of the Balti-
more and Ohio station, in this town, by a
gentleman and his two daughters who
were returning home from a friends house.
He has recently visited his mothers house
in Biadensburg and obtained food money
and fresh supply of clothes. A farmer,
living short distance from here, who car
ries truck to market, mas been stopped sew
eral times and tribute of cantaloupes and
other eatables levied on him. This man
reported the matter to the authorities, ii is
alleged. There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of the people that live man could
easily get the murderer, although it is re-
ported that he is heavily armed and ter
roriZing the women In the outlying farm
district, thus supplying himself with pro-
visions.
