MIR. HANNA DEFENDS THE TRUSTS.
Points Out Where They Have Proved
Beneficial

Senator Hanna, in speech before the
fifth district republican club in Cleveland,
last night, defined his position regarding
the trusts. On this subject he said:
THE democrats say l am afraid to talk
about the trusts That settles it. I'm go
ing to talk about them This combination
of capital for one purpose or another Is not
a political question at all. 1t Is business
question, and ought not to have been
brought into politics. When our industries
were in their infancy England and other
countries came along and sold goods In this
country at less than the price asked in
their own.
Then followed the protective tariff law
formulated by that friend of the working
man, William Mckinley Having secured
this protection, American manufacturers
strides, and are successfully competing
with the whole world. 1t is evident, how
ever that they cannot continue to do so
unless they have combined capital We
ought to own and control our own mer-
chant vessels We then would be in shape
to make our own Iates and compete with
other nations on an equal footing.
I'VE have now reached the stage when
We are doing more exporting than import
ing. The last year was the first year in
the history of the country that this was

are bound to come. This formation of COM
bines is simply an evolution in business
methods Should railways own their own
steamship lines there would be a marked
change in the rates. All this requires cap
ital and such a tremendous amount that
no ordinary corporation could stand ii.
THE so-called trusts are not few. They
have been found in England and Germany
as far back as two hundred years, and are
increasing. Therefore, from a business
point of view, the formation of these COM
binations. in one sense, is one step forward.

WAITING HOMICIDE CASES
Nine Prisoners in Jail Charged as Principals
and Accessories.

There are nine prisoners in the District
Jail who are awaiting trials in homicide
cases. Six cases are represented by the
nine defendants, three of them being charg-
ed as accessories. Besides these waiting
cases, two men are there under sentence
of death. One of them is eXpOliceman G..
W. Horton, the date of whose execution,
as fixed, is the 10th of next month. His
victim was Jane Nicholson. The motion for
a new trial is pending in the Court of APP
peals.
Horton has been in Jail since June "a
of last year. His wife visits him usually
about twice a week, and his spiritual ad-
wiser is also a regular caller. While his
friends seem to think he will get a new
trial. or that there will be a delay gained,
the prisoner is preparing for the hereafter
and has announced his readiness to go to
the Scaffold.
James Powell, colored, is the other con-
demned man. He was convicted of the
murder of Patsy Lee, near 1th and 0
streets, while the men were returning to
their homes from an entertainment. No

ton. Friends are working in his behalf,
and it is believed by, some of the officials
that the President will commute his SEN
tence. ~

Lizzie Weisenberger only a. short time ago.
and Frank w. Funk, for, the murder of
William II. Brooks in June of last year,
are among those whose cases nave yet TO
be disposed of. These cases attracted
more than usual attention and excited
great Indignation in the community. Smell
was arrested the day he killed the little
girl and an indictment soon followed. 1t
was the intention iof District Attorney
Davis before he retired 4to try the case
early this month, but for5 some reason it
has been postponed, and it is not yet
announced when Gen. Anderson the pres
ent district attorney WHY have the case
called. IS
Frank Funk in whose case robbery was
added to murder, is anxious FOR a trial,
and the police are also anxious to have the
case disposed of.
Wooster Johnson, colored, charged with
the murder of Emanuel Dodson, is an
other of those awaiting trial Isaac Tyson
and William Mills are in jail as alleged ac-
ceSSories.
The others who have yet to appear at the
bar of the court are Dock N. Tharpe, the
Alabama volunteer charged with the kill
ing of fellow soldier named Aaron d.
Bishop; Charles Bowen, colored, and Mol
lie Harris, also colored. Della Dyson is in
prison as an alleged accessory in the latter
case.
The section of the jail in which the al
legged murderers are confined is as quiet
as a death chamber" remarked Warden
Harris to a Star reporter.
All the prisoners charged with murder
enjoy good health, with the possible ex-
ception of Funk ard Ho-tC2. These men
have had several sick spells, and when
Funk had his last attack it was feared he
would die. He got we'll, however, and is
now ready for a trial of his case.

Chamberlain denied that the question of
suZerainty had necessarily irritated the
Transvaal government or seriously affected
the negotiations. AS for the franchise for
the outlanders, he declared that the gov
ernment had never shifted their ground,
and that every point advanced at the
Bloemfontein conference by Sir Alfred NIL
ner had remained on the paper until the
ultimatum. He added:
Il am much more afraid of the charge of
being too moderate than of the charge of
being excessive. The governments reply to
the Transvaal accepted the five-year fran
chise proposal, except in respect of the
pledge that Great Britain would never re-
interfere IN the Transvaals internal af-
fairs, but they hoped that, If the tiYe-year
franchise measure were carried into effect.
there would be no occasion for interference.
Believes TransvaaI Was Influenced.
Il believe that influential advisers do
not mean foreign powers-must have inter
vened and induced the Transvaal govern
ment to withdraw their offer.
LAS for the last proposals formulated by
the British government, 1 may say that the

HarcourD that they be published will never
be gratified. That ultimatum is buried and
is not likely to be 'resurrected.' U.aughter1.
Il challenge any one to see a sign of
provocation blood outlines or desire of
war in the negotiations. The government
increased the garriSonS for defense on pres
sure from the Natal administration, to
whom gratitude and thanks are due Never
before have the administration and colony
of Natal so completely identified them
selves with the mother country. They
knew they would be the first to bear the
brunt of attack, yet they threw in their lot,
heart and soul, with the mother country.
=, Her rnajesty's present advisers claim,
Quite as earnestly as any previous govern
ment could have claimed, to be anxious for
the honor and interests of the country.
That is why they have supported the prin-
ciple of protection for British subjects
That is why they uphold and confirm the
SuZerainty of England.
Our countrymen have seen a ma gni1icent
demonstration, not only of loyalty, but of
sympathy with the objects of the govern
ment on the part of the colonies. L have
been as anxious for peace as any man, but
the government hold that there are COnSid-
erations which are even more important
than peace, and one of these is the main
tenance of equality between the white races
in South Africa.
In their endeavor to maintain peace the
government have shown endless patience
1t was President Kruger who settled the
issue. He appealed to the God Of battles.
If l may do so with reverence, 1 say, we
accept that appeal, believing our quarrel

and three-quarter hours, resumed his seat
amid prolonged cheering.
