This Country Have Been Thrown Out of
Employment by Trust Concentration.

Chicago, June 26.-The Tribune gives
several columns TO a symposium of the
views of travelling statesmen and mer-
chants on the trusts and combines.
Men who should, by reason of their
positions, be eminently fitted to Judge
are quoted as saying that Of the 800, 600
travelling statesmen in the United
States engaged in the distribution
of the products of the country's in
dustries and in the expanding of inter
state trade, 100000, according to their
estimates, win be forced out of their
positions by the trusts unless the pres
ent epidemic of trade combinations is
checked. Already, under the AK of
trust concentration, 50, 600 commercial
travellers have been dispensed with,
while %, 900 others have been com
PEELED to accept sweeping salary reduc-
tions with designations the only alter

Porto Ricans to Celebrate.

Washington, June 26,-rhe citizens
of San Juan, the capitol of Porto Rico,
propose to display their patriotism and
fidelity to the government of the

1t is generally regarded in Wash

gave away the case of his government
when he refused to grant charters to
any Canadian railroads, proposing to
run into the territory claimed by the

Diary line, because to do so would help
build up American towns, should the
settlement of the dispute allow the

WANTS VOLUNTEERS.
The President Decides to Call for
Men to Go to the Philippines.

Chicago, June 23.-A special from
Washington to the Tribune says:
President Mckinley has decided to call
for volunteers for service in the Philip
pines. 1t has been determined to form
at least nine regiments and possibly
~. For the present the president
deems nine or ten regiments enough,
and it is understood this number is
based on the representations made 10y
Gen. Otis, who is said to have recently
amended his estimate of the force
he will need in maintaining peace
in the islands. There are now
$4,000 regulars in the Philippines and
there will shortly be "a reinforcement
of at least 1000. This furnishes Gen.
Otis with the army he desired in the
earlier estimates from Manila. Lately,
however, he has had occasion TO revise
these figures and under the influence
of the more liberal estimates of Gen.
Lawton and other advisers he has in
formed the Washington officials
that the presence of $4,000 or 15,-
600 volunteers to supplement the
force of regulars will be a safeguard,
Actual enlistment for the new volunteer
regiments will be under the army
officers and the records will be similar
to those which attended the recruiting
of volunteers at the outbreak of the
late war. 1t is probable the company
strength win be maximum and this
would give for nine regiments volun-
teer force of at least 1000. The call
for troops will be issued as soon as the
necessary arrangements for the re-
cruiting system can be made.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

During the past few weeks ore
traffic on the railroads leading cut
of the Cripple Greek district has
been so congested as to block the
work of the mines, and this
gave rise to the impression that the
railroads were refusing TO haul
mill ores on account of lack of cars.
This report gained credence in
many quarters, but it has been
promptly refuted by the railroad
officials who claim they are pre-
pared to transport all the ore bro t
to their tracks.
1t develops, however, that the
primary cause of the blockade is
the fact that the mills now in oper-
alton are inadequate in capacity
to keep pace with the output, and
for this reason hundreds of cars
loaded with ore are tied up on mill
sidings.
These conditions, therefore.
make it obvious that more mills
are needed, and that with their
construction additional transporta-
ton facilities must follow. At the
present time the output of the dis
trict is fully S2,000,000 per month,
and those best acquainted with the
facts believe that within year the
output will reach the enormous
figure o S3,000,000 month
With these conditions to CON
slider, Florence has perfect right
to hope and expect share in the
prosperity of the greatest gold
camp on earth" Florence is the
natural outlet for the immense ore
wealth of the district and affords a
natural location for reduction
plants. The cheap and inexhaust-
ible fuel supply, the abundance of
water, the unexcelled railroad fa-
cilities will all count for as much
in locating mills for the future as
they have in deciding the location
of those already secured.
On the whole, conditions look
good all over the stateof Colorado,
but no section or community has
brighter prospects than those which
now appear to Florence.

As soon as an attraction is book
ed at the opera house it is Gus
tomary for the public to ask:
"How many are there in the com
pany?n The question that should
be asked is: "Who are the actors
or artists, and are they good?" 1t
only requires moments reflection
to realize that no manager can car
ry company of ten, fifteen or
twenty artists and have them all
tirst-class, for good artists not only
demand large salary but insist
on its being paid. Mr.. Haywood
believes that the general public
prefer to see six or %ght frst-class
city artists to whole stage full OF
transformers and has surround
ed himself with artists as fine in
their respective lines as Haywood
is in his. The result is perform
ance that from rise to fall of cur
tain is full of pure fresh fun, popu-
lar music, entertaining specialties,
and beautiful women. This attrac-
tion is to appear here on the even
ing of October 10th, at the opera
house,

England Under Bonds.

1t is a rather curious reflection
that England's debt to America
ppts her under bonds to keep the
peace OF South Africa. The inter
national monetary situation is such
that England is under liability TO
ship not less than S50,000,0OO of
gold to the United States during
the remainder of the current fiscal
year. Should war break out in
South Africa, this demand could
not be met. England would prac-
tically be oblidged either to ask an
extention of credit until the close
of the war, or else to suspend treaty
payment. The collapse of com
nercial credit threatened in either
case is a consideration involving
consequences SO calamitous that
the most earnest advocates of Brit
ish dominion must pause before
urging the government to take the
last fatal step in resorting to war.

Steedman's Division.

EDITO OR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In you
issue of July 20, 1899 under heading,
'The I'd Mimi" on page 3, first column,
by HI. HI. Hills, he says: There was no
time except one hour during the advance
and retreat of Steedman's Division" He
is speaking of Sept. 20, 1868, battle of
Chickamauga.
We made our first charge about o'clock
that day on Snodgrass Hill, and at about
8 o'clock p m. we left that same ridge, less
than 800 yards TO the right of where we
first went in, by reason of orders to fall
back. See our monument just to the
right of the Lookout on Snodgrass Hill
8lth Ind, Whitaker's Brigade, Steed-
mans Division, Changers Reserve Corps.
The comrade also says: ut appears from
the official record published by the War
Department that but one (Whitaker's) of
the Sc brigades engaged lost as many
men, according to numbers, as did Van
Deveer'S."
Now, | would ask the comrade to cite
me the official records or the history that
shows that Steedman's Division advanced
and retreated in one hour; and yet Whit
akers lost more according to numbers
than any other brigade in the army. 1t
is certainly al error. We stayed there
about six long hours Van Deveer's
Brigade certainly did their duty, their
whole duty on that eventful day. Then
why disparage Whitaker's? But there
seems to be disposition on the part of
comrades to laud their own commands to
the disadvantage of others.
