Continue Wall street in control at
Washington a few more years, and ul-
innate trustism will be reached. All
Industries will be controlled by trusts,
and a central committee Of all the
trusts will be charged with the duty of
seeing that no merchant who handles
any non-trust article shall be allowed
to buy any trust-made goods OF any
class. When such an edict can con
troll the market, where will we be?

LIEUTENANT JOHN H.. PARKER
WAS anotner squirt of Spanish valor,
and Parker again dosed the enemy's
cover with Krag-J orgensen bullets.
During this fight Parker completely ST.
fenced a Spanish battery which threw
8 inch shells from range Of 1900
yards. On July Parker took the wheels
from the carriages and mounted his
Gatlings behind sandbag parapets.
Throughout the siege his fire was most
effective, and one day he silenced a
Spanish battery Of seven pieces located
1900 yards in his front, and only three
shots were fred from it to the end Of
the SIEGE
After the surrender the Spanish Off
GERS said to Parker: "It was terrible
when your guns opened always. They
went b-r-r-r-r, like lawn mower cut
ting grass, over our trenches. We could
not stick finger up when you fred
without getting it cut off-so!" The
American army will never go into bat
tie again without full corps of ma
chine guns handled a la Parker Of San
tiago fame. GEORGE L. KnMER.

within $50 yards of the enemy trench, fact +
made possible by the steep slope OF the mn
upon which he enemy had been.
AT the time my battery went into action

least 100 yards i'll front of any OF our troops
along this part of the line. The infantry ana
cavalry had been pounding away Tor Two
hours on these POSITIONS and in SO minutes art
er the Gatlings opened the works were ours.
Inspired by the friendly rattle OF the macnlne
guns, our own troops rose to the charge, wnlle
the enemy, amazed by our sudden ana RE
mendous increase Of fire, first diverted ms nre
to my battery, and then, unable to wlsns1an ~
the hail of bullets, broke madly from his safe
trenches and was mercilessly cut by tire from
these guns during his flight.
Although San Juan hill and fort had
fallen, triumph was by no means as
sured. The Spaniards had simply fallen
back to second line, and from there
they opened fearful fire upon the
Americans around their old trenches.
This was taken by the wise heads as
the precursor of countercharge. Park
er at once moved his guns forward at q
gallop and joined the skirmish line on
the very crest. In order to get room for
his Gatlings he compelled the cavalry
skirmishers to give way right and left,
and, being shorthanded from loss Of
men, impressed soldiers of other COM
mands to help work the pieces

Juan hill didn't take place. Parker
raked every hiding spot with bullets
for some time. About 4 o'clock force
of Spaniards numbering 400 came into
view off to the right of the road where
Parker was, apparently aiming at the
salient in front of the cavalry. The
range was about 600 yards, and after a
few revolutions of the bullet sifters the
enemy disappeared. At shutdown there

apparent that the Calling fire fastened

on July /, Parker showed himself
throughout all quite as original, deter
mined and physically brave as the gal
liant Cushing when demonstrating the
awful power locked up in torpedo

army when it set cut to smash the
Spanish power in Cuba; neither was
the torpedo, new weapon when Cush

they might be so handled as to force

enemy s attack. Swarms of savages had
gone down before them when stationed
in the line Of defense, as was the case
at the slaughter of the dervishes at On

GOLD DEMOCRATS
BOLT THE TICKET.
Refuse to Help the Movement to
RenOminate Bryan.
A GREAT BOON IN BUSINESS.
Sound Money Men Fear Disastrous Results
Should They Help Revive
the Silver Craze.
Especial Correspondence.)

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-The most
significant and important development
in state politics of the last week was
the complete failure of the Democratic
leaders to get their party together az
the notification of their state candi-
dates at Williamsport. The sound
money Democrats refused to support
the silverites who were nominated at
Harrisburg and placed in the field on
a Bryanite platform. The efforts of
Guffey and his lieutenants were di-
rected to making this notification
meeting a grand event for the opening
of their compaign. They were dis
mayed beyond measure when they dis
covered that not single gold Demo-
crat put in an appearance. The sit
uation was decidedly embarrassing to
the leaders of the Bryanite wing of the
party. They at once realized the great
mistake they had made in lauding
Bryan as in their state platform as "our
matchless leader" thus clearly indi-
eating their purpose to make him
again their choice for president.
The contingent from the Quaker
City at this remarkable gathering was
like the rest of the outfit-every man
of them staunch supporter of Bryan
and ready to whoop it up for the silver
knight of Nebraska upon the slightest
provocation. They all know that with
the sentiment in the rank and file of
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania
their positions as ward and city leaders
would be at once assailed If they were
suspected of disloyalty or Indifference
to the interests of Bryan or If they
in any way failed to further the move
ment looking to his denomination for
the presidency. Charles p. Donnelly,
as chairman of the Democratic city
committee, might as we'll prepare to
hand in his resignation as the head OF
the local organization, should he utter
a word publicly which would be con-
strued as inimical to the interests OF
Bryan. THE boys" will not listen 10
