Tariff the Mother OF Trusts.

While the hosts of Hanna are talk
ing of following the example of the
republican party in the state of the
president, and including in their next
national platform plank protesting
against trusts, the information comes
from no less an authority than the
president of one of the biggest COM

LIE administration

The administration papers are
again beginning to sound the public
on the idea of call for volunteers to
serve in the conquest of the Philip
pines. This has been attempted sew
eraI times already, but discretion has
in each instance apparently dictated
the abandonment of the project. This
time, however, a different course has
been adopted. The articles now start
out on the negative side of the prop
osition with the end and aim to ac-
complish in the outcome an aflirma-
tive Interpretation of the public's
wishes. For instance, spe-
cial today which is headed, mo
Call for Volunteers" "Administra-
ton Has Faith in the Force Pro-
vided for Otis,n after describing the
plan now in force for uniformly in
creasing the regiments now in SER
vice in the Philippines, concludes in
this manner: While the admins
tration expresses the utmost conf
dence in the ability of Gen. Otis. with
the regulars, to cope with the situa-
ton, it is evident that the sentiment
is growing that the president should
call for volunteers in order to provide
that officer with at least %, 600 men
to begin the campaign ut the COM
mencement of the rainy season.
Gen. Lawton is expected TO begin a
retrograde movement in a few days,
falling back to Manila, and the insur-
gents will doubtless reoccupy the ter
ritor from which they have been
driven"

of the National Municipal League con-
timled today. The discussion was Oh
the program prepared by the special com
mittee, their report in part being as fol-
lows:
'11fhe Municipal Programme is based
on the Theory that good city governments
is dependent not merely upon a proper
form of municipal organization, nut as
well upon Il proper determination of the
position of the city and upon the ability
of the municipal citizen to decide munie.-
pal questions ON their own merits.
I'm order to permit the decision of these
questions on their own merits the rru-
cramme provides for personal registration
of voters and nomination of city officers
by petition signed lgy not more than fifty
voters. Am official blanket ballot with
the names of the candidates, arranged in
alphabetical order under the title OF the
office. obligeS the voter to vote separate
ly for each candidate for whom he votes,
and makes it necessary that all municipal
elections shall he held at n different
time from State and national elections.
"In order both to relieve the cities from
Legislative control and permit them suiti-
cient opportunities of local developlptrt,
cities are vested with the poss,y'e pow
els Of local government"

CHICAGOs PILOT THE CAUSE.
Collision With Steamship City of
Augusta Inve stigated.

New York, Nov. 16.-The local Board
Of United States Inspectors Of Steam
Vessels has investigated the collision be-
tween the Pennsylvania ferryboat Chi
cago and the coatwise steamship City of
Augusta, which occurred on the North
river early on the morning of October
31st last, and resulted in the sinking of
the formed and the drowning of four
or five men. Their report filed with
Supervising Inspector Starbuck, holds
that the collision was entirely due to
want of care and to negligence on the
part of William Durham, pilot in charge
of the ferryboat Chicago, in not keeping
proper lookout and trying to cross the
bow of the steamship CITY of Augusta
in violation of Rule Ii of the Pilots
Rules.
The license Of Captain Durham is sus-
pended for a period of six months.
