THE TRUSTS WILL SUFFER.

The wal Of trusts seems as likely to
be as disastrous to these great %organiza-
lions as the competition between small.
or organizations. Mr.. r. B. Thurber,
president of the United States export
association, in a recent statement be-
fore the committee investigating trusts
and monopolies, expressed the opinion
that the competition between the great
organizations Of capital would be just
Us sharp and result just as much to the
advantage Of the people of the country
as those whioh have, through compe.
tition in other lines, reduced prices.
"Capital has increased faster than the
opportunity for its profitable employ.
'ment," he said. IF q combination Of
capital in any line temporarily exacts a
liberal profit, more capital follows in.
to that channel, another combination ia
formed and competition ensues on a
scale, and operated with al intensity,
far beyond anything possible Oh n small
Ter scale, resulting in a breakdown Of
the combination and decline Of profits
to the minimum"

Senator Carter is out in al interview
in the Washington Post, in which he
says:
1.-The people of the Rocky mountain
states are keenly alive to the changed

anxious, of course. to have the great
silver interests of that region cared for
upon the most substantial basis possi'

oeive that there is 10 more efficacy in
following Organism than in attending
a ghost dance. Our silver interests
will naturally progress side by side

cast every other interest overheard, sac
riicing every opportunity which the
late war opened up, and rush headlong

Carless, the Sheep Thief, Will stand Trial

of over two hundred old sheep
from l.. Lehfeldt of Lavina,
was held before Justice Fraser Satur.

cused being bound owe to the district
court. which convened in this city yes.
terday, in bonds in the sum of ST. 900
and, not being able to furnish the same
he was committed to the custody Of the
sheriff, Attorney G. l.. Harris de.
fended Carless, while County Attorney
Johnston prosecuted the case for the
state. The Lel.feldt brothers-Louis
and Herman-came in from their
ranches Friday and accompanied by the
sheriff and a deputy went down to the
place where the sheep had been located
for the purpose of Identifying them.
At the preliminary they testified that
the sheep bore their brands and were
undoubtedly Of tho band which they
have missed since May ~.
The theft was one of the boldest aver
undertaken in this part Of Montana and
showed that Carless thought that he
could escape arrest, as he had not tried
to leave this part Of the country after
stealing them. He assisted Herman
Lehfeldt during the lambing season and
at al opportune time stole the sheep
above mentioned. He drove them to a
range about twenty.three miles east of
Billings, Oh Razor creek, where he
struck camp and had located for all
time to come, apparently, and where
he was found by Constable Robbins,
who arrested him Tuesday.

Of the exports of agricultural products

being lower than those of that year.
Fortunately for the farmers, the manu-.

The Havana Contractor Says He Waa
Unfairly Treated.
NEW YORK, Decs :&vCol NJ. ]. Dady,
of Brooklyn, made this statement yester-
day in reference to- the action OF the
council of Havana indrejecting his sewer
contract: 81.
General Ludlow, the military governor.
told me himself when IL was in Cuba. that
he intended to get that contract, and do the
work. although he admitted that l had
equity in the matter. as the pioneer on
the ground, with plans all ready and ac-
cepted for doing the work. Now, that grant
was made to me by the aldermen, who were
an elected and not an, appointed body OF
men, representing thedcity itself, and not
the Spanish Government Their grant is
therefore binding on the city, no matter
into what hands fthe Government may
eventually go. cwste
This council that Aeeided against the
contract accepted the majority report Of the
commission, and the decision was arrived
at with eighteen members out of thirty
away. Seventeen members have already
signed petition to be forwarded to WASH
ington, showing that they believe the con-
tract should come to me, as my plans had
been accepted and were the best that
could be devised for the work to be done.
The men who voted against it were put in
the council to so vote by General Lud-
low, who wanted the work for himself.
st have been the victim of trickery ever
since the war, and everything has been
done to steal this grant that I secured from
the municipal government OF Havana, and
Of which 1 could not lawfully be deprived
I do not think will lose the contract.
however. and believe that will be at
work on 1t before very long.

STUDYING TROPICAL DISEASES
Work of Johns Hopkins Universal!
In Manila and China.

In Manila and China.
BALTIMORE, Dec. S.-The commission
from Johns Hopkins University, which
visited the Philippines last summer, has
brought home large number of patholog-
ical preparations from autopsies made at
Manila, Cavite, and Hongkong. These in
clude materials from cases Of ieprosy, ma
laria, typhoid fever, beri-beri, the bubonic
plague, and some other diseases. The col
lection will first be studied by trained
pathologists at the medical school, and will
then be made available for the students.
At Manila some of the members Of the
commission made quite a study of beri-
beri, from which the natives are the prin-
cipal sufferers. A large outbreak Of the
disease occurred soon after the arrival of
the party in Manila. Colonel Woodruff,
surgeon in chief of the army in the
islands, asked the gentlemen to examine a
number of Filipino prisoners in the old
Spanish prison at Cavite. OF the LOCO ma
tives, 200 developed beri-beri, SO that the
doctors had an excellent opportunity to
study the different phases of the disease.
In one form of the disease the heart is en-
larged, especially on the ride side. The
enlargement is due to dilation, and is at
tended by great pain.
The results of the investigations by ex-
perts on the material collected by the COM
mission will be announced later. From
Hongkong the party obtained material
from patients who had died Of the bubonic
plague. The material obtained by the COM
mission will be of great service in the
course on tropical diseases, which is being
given for the first time this year. Such
diseases as leprosy and the plague will be
studied in this course entirely from pre-
pared material, as living patients are not
obtainable.

from Democratic and silver leaders at
Washington. all urging Aliens appoint
ment on the ground of his experience and
standing in the Senate and the need of an
able fighter in the Philippine and currency

Chairman Jones and Senator Teller are

urged to declare for Allen, but his position
is most embarrassing. He is a close friend

The Governor attended the funeral Of
Senator Hayward, at Nebraska City, yes

private secretary said the appointment will
not be made until Saturday of next week.
The Governor desires to give all of the fu-
