LOVING CATTLE COMPANY.
Specifically Denied that Its Organ
izatiOn Has Been Abandoned.


Fort Worth Texas, November &c. c,
French, in charge of George p. Loving S
affairs during the latter's absence in New
York closing up the cattle syndicate deal,
today denied the Austin report that the
big enterprise was about to be abandoned,
due to the fact that the Eastern capital
lists were about to withdraw their support
because of the uncertainty is To whether
the syndicate would come n conflict with
the new antitrust law of TEXAS. when ne
comes effective January l, 1900. To dis
prove the statements made from Austin,
Mr.. French showed The Post representa-
tive certified options on Additional LANDS
to the amount of nearly 1,0D0,OeU acres
and about 100000 cattle. These arc IN al
dition TO the old options, nearly al CT
which have been renewed.
A letter from Mr.. Loving received today
states that he and five or six members of
the big company will be in Texas in about
ten days to look over the property which
is to be included in the syndicate, and
also to examine scme other cattle and
ranch property in the southwestern part
of the State, the largest in Texas. The
information from Mr.. Loving is IN effect
that the big deal is about successfully
closed.

THE NEXT EUROPEAN WAR.
Will Not Be Franco-English, But Franco
Spanish

Mark my words. The next Euro
pean war will not be Franco English,
but Franco-Spanish. ! dare say the
excuse will be reduction or non-pay-
ment of the exterior coupon. The
French government has been con-
stantly looking out since MacMahon
resigned for places where they could
go to war with good chances of sue
cess. They have done so to keep Off
GERS quiet by giving them chances of
promotion, and not exposing them to
too great danger. Tunis, Tonquin,
AMMAN, Siam, Madagascar, Senegal,
the Niger have in turn, and sometimes
simultaneously, served this purpose.
Col. Achinard, when the government
did not at once enter into his bellicose
views in Senegal, made war there
against its orders. If French officers
have not been led into pronunciamen-
tos, it is because there have been so
many expeditions. The venturesome
spirits volunteer to take their chance
of death or promotion in wildcat ex-
petition. Spain will be attacked, be-
cause weak, proximate, and heavily in
debt to French capitalists. Other
powers, dare say, would consent to
campaign there, if it led to all-around
payment of coupons by a French
financial control. Casimir Perier, as
foreign minister, threatened Portu-
gal with such control, when the Por-
tuguese government attempted to do
French creditors out of their lien on
the tobacco monopoly. London

Action OF the Minnesota Sen.
ate is Favorable.
The Measure at First Failed, but
After Being Amended Was
Adopted.

ST. Paul, Mimi. The prospect of
the younger brothers being released
from State prison are much bright
err. The bill which permits the
parole of lite prisoners after twenty
years Imprisonment with uninter-
rupted good behavior, was yester-
day defeated in the Senate, but to-
day Senator Wilson had the bill re-
considered and after an amendment
was adopted requiring the approval
by the Board of Pardons of such
paroles by the board ofprison mana
gers, the bill was passed by vote
of 78 to 5.
The bill means the conditional
pardon of Cole and Jim Younger,
the Northfeld bank robbers, now
serving life sentences in Saltwater
prison.

Griggs on Trusts.

According to. Attorney General
Griggs, the country is in the hands
of the trusts and the Federal laws
are powerless to afford relief.
These cormorants have their
clutches on the peoples threats
and the antitrust law, that bears
Mr.. Sherman S name, is impatient
to make them release the hold
These views of Mr.. Griggs are
set forth in letter which he wrote
lately to an inquiring friend who
wanted to know why the Attorney
General was not invoking the an
THRUST law to stay the onward
march of these unlawful combines
before they had completely monopo.
lized every avenue of opportunity
and source of production.
In his reply Mr.. Griggs states
that the constitutionality of the
Sherman law has been decided af-
firmatively more than once, but
that the act only clothes the Fed
eral court with jurisdiction over a
monopoly or trade that comes un-
der the classific of information
al or interstate commerce. Ac-
cordIng to his Interpretation, trusts
which are chartered as corpora
tons under the laws of any one of
the States are not subject to the
provisions of the antitrust law.
He cites the decision in the litiga-
ton against the Sugar Trust,
which was handed down in 1894, in
support of this view. He does not
express an opinion that these COM
bines are comfortable, but ventures
the statement that ''if amenable to
any law, they are amenable to the
laws of the respective States.
If Attorney Griggs is correct in
his Interpretation of the Sherman
antitrust law, there seems to be no
relief from the trust evil except
through an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, or organized re-
pressiye legislation by the several
States. st. Louis Republic,

STORY OF WILLIAM TELL,
The Old Legend Of swiss Hero
Retuid.

u
| At one time the story of William
Tell was regarded as actual history,
hut later critics have shown it to be
only a legend common among the
nations of the Aryan race. And the
story of the Swiss patriot is simply the
Iold legend changed to suit Swiss cir
lcumstances, and thus represent the
Esprit of freedom as manifested in
Switzerland.
According to this legend, William
Tell was mighty marksman with the
bow and arrow, who lived in peace
and happiness with his family at
BURGLAR, in the canton of Uri. All
that time, about the year 1907, Swift
zerland was province of Austria; but
the people had already begun strug-
gle for freedom, and William Tell was
one Of their ablest leaders.
Gessler, the Austrian bailiff at
Kussnacht, wishing to show his au-
thority and humiliate the Swiss,
raised his cap on pole in the market
place of Altorf, and ordered all pass
ersby to uncover and bow down to it
in token of submission Tell refused
to comply with the arrogant order,
and in consequence was condemned
to death. Gessler, however, upon
learning of Tells remarkable skill
with the bow, offered to release and
pardon him if he would agree to shoot
an apple from the head of hisown son.
Tell accepted the alternative, but de-
termined that if he failed, or in any
way injured his little boy, the bailiff
should suffer for it.
When the appointed time came,
Tell ventured the shot, and sent an
arrow whizzing through the center
of the apple, while his son remained
uninjured. In the meantime the |
bailiff had noticed that Tell had put
two arrows in his CULVER, and asked
why he had done SO.
ITO kill thee with, if | had harmed |
my son." answered Tell.
For this bold avowal Tell was put |
in chains and taken on board the |
bailifT's boat, to be brought to Kuss-
nacht. While crossing the lake the
boat was overtaken by fearful storm, |
and the crew, alarmed for their safety, |
implored the bailiff to release Tell, |
who was an expert pilot, and let him
steer the vessel. The request was
finally granted, and as they neared a
certain point now known as "Tell's
Leap" Tell leaped ashore and es-
capped.
The storm had now abated, and the
crew brought the vessel safely to
shore. Meanwhile, Tell concealed
himself in a narrow defile through
which the bailiff had to pass, and NOR
tally wounded him with an arrow.
The fall of the tyrannical Gessler was
occasion for general uprising in the |
canton, and the Australians were
driven from the country. In al of
these movements William Tell, by his
own heroic example, inspired the
Swiss people with hope.
1t is said that Tell was drowned in
