a supply line from Calumpit. The

is doubtful unless rain comes If supplies
can be forwarded by water
Now, when 1t is too late, regrets are
being expressed at the front that the
move was not made during the heavy
rainfall. The wagon trains in Luzon at
present will be able to haul but a small
quantity of the supplies which will be
needed by the troops at the front. The
300 mules which We're killed on the
steamer Siam during the voyage from
San francisco is proving a serious
loss.

Lake steamer in PeriI.

Detroit, Mich. Oct. 1s.-Capt. Powell,
of the steamer John Plankinton, re-
ports passing through a large amount
of wreckage on Lake Huron. off Point
Aux Barques. The wreckage consisted
of cabin doors, painted green, mat
tresses, pillows and the declshouse, ap-
parently from a steamer. 1t was early
in the morning when the Plankinton
went through the wreckage. Nothing
can be learned here of the identity of
the ship. No names We're seen by the
crew of the Plankinton, and no disas-
ter has occurred in that vicinity for
some time. The wreckage of the Typo
took place many miles to the north
ward. off Middle Island, so that wreck
age from it could not have drifted so
far south. Marine men fear that Sc
rious accident has occurred. possibly
attended with loss of life.

"a cyclist dispatch was received from

Plummer and his small command at

He has been fighting for two days
against an overwhelming force of
Beers.
When he found that reinforcements
could not reach him for several weeks
he took up a strong position on Emu

entertainments.
EARLY on Sunday morning 1000 Beers

second in command to Col Cronje along
the north and west frontiers of the

"Col. Detfile is one of the Beers most
fearless fighters. He crossed the We

ltillery fire and began the ascent of the
hill.
The wekafa was d torrent and sew
eral OF the Beers We're drowned in

Before Merchants Club at Boston.
Boston, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Charles G..
Dawes, comptroller of the currency,
spoke on Trusts and Trade Combina-
tions" at the annual meeting OF the
Merchants Club OF Boston last even
ing, saying in part:
I'm looking for the causes of present

in natural causes.
ct is human nature to seek to ac-
quire and it is human nature to COM
bine to acquire. 1t is human nature
and not any political party which is re-
sponsible primarily for the existence Of
the trust; yet / cannot agree with

not political question. That the So
called trusts are the natural outSrowth

regulated law of commercial competi-

maintain; but I maintain also that the
question of the proper Legislative treat
ment of these great combinations and
corporations formed for the purpose of
monopolistic control of the production
and distribution of some of the neces-
saries and comforts of life is one of the
greatest and most practical which has
ever confronted the political parties of
the nation.
II do not think that where there is
practically unregulated power on the
part of a trust to control the prices of
certain commodities there is any con-
siderable portion of either political
party which believes that there should
be no legislation. The division which
will manifest itself among the people of
the country will not be between the
people who believe that something
should be done and the people who be-
lieve that nothing should be done, but
between the people who believe in seek
ing one remedy and against the people
who believe in seeking another.
