TRUSTS ON THE DECLINE.

So Says Crawford Fairbanks, Who
Organized Strawboard Combine.
Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute,
Ind, the brewery magnate and the pro-
moter Of the strawboard trust, has
vivid idea that the trusts are. so to speak,
on their last legs.
"Did you read that expression Of the
Attorney General Of the United States
in which he said that the investors in
trusts would be the sufferers-not the
pubicT" said he. well, his head may
be level. The investors have a stomach
full of trusts Trust stock is down from
Is to 20 points and the investors don't
bite like they did. The furore is wearing
off. 1t takes bigger chunk Of bait and
a better quality to have tempting effect
than it did awhile back. l don't think
that 1t will be possible to put through any
trust deal on a large scale in the future"

NEW CANAL COMBINATION.
1t Proposes to Construct an Isth mia n
Water Way.

Water Way.
Articles of incorporation for the Ameri-
can Isthmus Ship Canal Company have
been filed in Trenton, n. j. Through
these articles the first announcement was
made of the new combination, which, 1t is
said, includes many men of large wealth,
headed by former Mayor William Il.
Grace, and expects to carry to completion
the isthmian canal scheme. Although the
nominal capital is $50, 900, the articles OF
incorporation give the right to increase
it to $25O,0O0O00.
+. 1t is estimated that between $50, O,O00,-
600 and $200,000,00O will be needed to
carry out the project, the greater part Of
which will be expended in buying off the
holders of concessions. According to, the
papers Of Incorporation, the object Of the
company is to acquire any and all con-
cessions, rights and franchises on the
American isthmus, to build a canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, to own
lands, mines and railroads; to colonize
and to build, own and operate any canal
from ocean to ocean and to obtain aid
from the United States, England, France,
Germany or any other Government to
that end

TO~ENFORCE FISHING LAWS.
Warns Americans Not
to Aid French VioIators.

The Newfoundland colonial government
has prepared a circular intimating to
American fishermen that the bait act is
about to be stringently enforced against
the French, and warning the Americans
that if they assist the French by bringing
them bait to st. Pierre the laws will be
similarly enforced against them also. The
British first-class cruiser Indefatigable,
one of the finest ships of the British
North American squadron, has been or
dered to Newfoundland. 1t is no doubt
the intention of the naval authorities to
attach her to the feet performing fishery
service Oh the French coast.

his time poring over geography and his

deed. His master, who suspected the boy
of idleness, stole into the room an hour
later, and found him with map of China
on his desk. He had stuck the map full
Of pins with red and black heads to indi-
cate the relative positions Of the French
and the Black Flags in Tonkin, and was
studying the progress Of that campaign.
The attorney dismissed him in disgrace,
and he finally persuaded his mother to let

POWERFUL NEW SHELL TESTED.

Device of Far Greater Destructive
Power than Shrapn Invented.
A shell of terrific explosive power, wide
radius Of destruction and capacity to
annihilate by bursting fragments and a
shock as effective as a streak of light
ming will be the feature of the fall cam
paign in the Philippine Islands. Tests
of the charge of this terrible engine of
war have been made at Sandy Hook, the
Government guarding closely its secret of
manufacture A shell of this nature
charged with an explosive equal to mel;n-
ite or dynamite falling near a battalion
of the enemy would kill or cripple very
large percentage of the battalion. The
chances Of escape from this tremendous
machine will be decreased 100 times, ex-
perts say as compared with shrapnel dis
charged at the same objects.

Union and Non-union Men Walk the
streets Heavily Armed.
Union and non-union men walk the
streets OF Lapel, Ind, armed to the teeth
and carrying guns and revolvers without
any pretcnse of concealing them. Several
days ago the workmen in the two flint
glass factories at that point organized and
the management in turn locked them out.
Since then the entire community has en-
gendered bitter feeling against union
ism. The union men held conference
and were attacked by mob OF citizens.
The hotel was riddled with outlets. No
tices have been received by several union
sympathizers that their places would be

hostile movement against the unionsts.

When Allen replied he paid the greatest
tribute to the heroic deeds Of the previ-
GUS speaker. "As that heroic command

thank God that he had been able to save
your homes, he was guarded by humble

WON BY PENN'S CREW.
To Gallant Wisconsin, However, Does
the Glory Belong,

the SlOry BelOng.
The honor of the West has been up
held. But for an unfortunate incident
the probabilities are that the most excit-
ing and hotly contested boat race known
to college history would have gone to the
University of Wisconsin. A crate bob
bing on the water directly in the course
of the Western eight made it necessary
to veer at a sharp angle from the straight
path to avoid also the cluster of boats
which crowded close to the channel of the
contestants. 1t was too late then to re-
turn to the live" water. and amid deaf
cning cheers Pennsylvania crossed the
line the winner by scant half boat
length.
The race occurred Oh the Hudson river
at Poughkeepsie. n. y. Pennsylvania
won by a scant half length in 20:04, Wis
consin being three lengths ahead of Cor
nell and the latter leading Columbia by

The steamer Nippon Maru, from Hong

death, believed to be from bubonic plague,
