THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
McLean's Real Motive Is to Be Elect
ed Senator.

A politician of prominence, born and
reared in Ohio, but now controlling
factor in an adjacent state, talked inter-
estingly to a Star reporter today of the
fight in Ohio. He asserts that John r.
Mclean is really trying for the United
States Senate, and that II the republicans
are not sharp he will come near securing
the prize. This is the way he puts it:
Mclean cannot hope to beat Nash for
governor, because Nash Is one of the most
popular men the party ever had. 1 do not
believe Mclean cares much whether he is
elected governor, as he wants to live in
Washington, but he does want to be United
States senatos By securing the nomina-
ton for governor his friends can trade
votes for the legislature, which elects a
successor to Senator Foraker. Unless the
scheme can be frustrated it may succeed.
Ohioans are great people for trading votes
ana the democrats can make their votes
count IN a number of close counties. Nc
Lean has plenty of money to, assist in his
plans and he Is splendid organizer. My
information Is that Senator Foraker al
ready sees through the scheme, ana tnat he
Is somewhat worried. OF course II Mclean
could carry the state for governor and
elect a legislature also he would make a
strong presidential candidate. but do not
believe that he has any hopes Of being
elected governor"

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN,
He Is Expected at the White House
Next Saturday

1t is stated at the White House that Pres
ident Mckinley is expected to return to
Washington on Saturday. He will remain
here only a few days before departing for
Philadelphia On his return here he will
remain nearly month before going west.
No word has been received at the White
House from Secretary John Addison Por-
ter, who arrived in New York few days
ago from Scotland There have been many
rumors that Mr.. Porter would not return to
his duties at the White House and that he
would accept an appointment in the diplo-
matte service. The best information OBJ
tainable is opposed to these stories and it
IS understood that Mr.. Porter whose health
has greatly improved, will soon be on duty
at the executive mansion. He is thought
to be looking after private business in the
east. He has already communicated with
the President When Mr.. Porter left for
Europe a number of stories were publish
ed to the effect that he would not return
to the White House. These were pro-
nounced false at the time. Mr.. Porter
went to Europe at the Presidents sugges-
ton, and because the President thought
that his health demanded a long rest.

The Trust Question.

isSuSS lHdl are DeIOre the country are,
first, the trusts second, the Philippine
question.
The Trust Question.
The first question can scarcely be called
new; but the trusts have been so multiplied
that the question assumes an Importance
which it did not have in 1896
Many methods have been suggested for
the determination of the trusts The most
feasible it seems to me. is to require every
corporation to obtain a license from the
Iederal government before it is per1nittei i
TO do business outside the state in which
organized. This license can be granted un-
der conditions which will squeeze the water
out OF the stock and prevent the monopo-
1zation of any industry.
Imperialism Declared IncOnsistent.
This nation must choose between being
a republic or an empire. An imperial pol
Icy cannot be defended on any ground
From a financial standpoint it will be an
expense to large majority of the people
ana profit only to the capitalists, who
would organize syndicates to develop the
Phllippines From religious point of view,
II cannot be defended. A Gespotism at Ma
MIA IS not consistent with a free govern
ment IN the United States. This nation

CODE FOR PORTO RICO.
Report of the Imsular Commiss
Submitted to Secretary Root.

report OF the lnsuilr Com fsS 10 n
Submitted to Secretary Root.
The insular commission, which has been
hard at work preparing code for Porto
Rico, has completed its labors and sub
mftted its report to Secretary Root today
This code is drafted with view of en-
grating the laws of the United States
upon the old Spanish law in force in the
island at the time of the cession. The com
mission has endeavored to make a code
which will meet the requirements of the
changed conditions.
The commission will cease to exist to-
morrow. 1t was appointed last year and
was to continue until July l. Since then
extensions have been made in order to al
low it to complete its work
While the commission has made some
investigation of Cuba, it has confined itself
almost exclusively to the preparation Of
u code for Porto Rico.
While the United States maintains mill
tary control of the island this code could
be promulgated as the law of the island
by order of the President 1t is expected
however that the whole matter will be
submitted to Congress.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. August 30.-A special to
the Record from Rockford, ILL.,, says:
Two Of the three negroes injured in an
alteration with white men employed in
ballasting work along the Illinois Central
tracks near this city are dead. The third
negro, who was injured, has not been
brought to the city and his condition is not

He was picked up unconscious near the IL
linois Central tracks, west of the city, Sun

and never regained consciousness. There
were cuts about his face. and also a scalp
wound. The second negro Is supposed to
be George Woodward of Bolver Tenn He
died from the effects of three cuts on his
face and a deep cash the back of the
neck, all of which appeared to be made
by a blunt instrument. Near Woodward s
body was found some cheap jewelry COW
cred with blood. The grass was trampled
down near where he lay and there We're
other evidences of a struggle. 1t is sup
posed that he had money with him, but
none was found on his body.

son. the contractors for whom both negroes
and whites We're working, said that neither
OF the dead men had worked for them.
The cook of the gang said that Woodward
had been with them ever since the work
