Bourke Cochran Writes Open Letter
to President on Transvaal
Controversy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Ex-Congressman
w. Bourke Cochran has written the follow
ing open letter to President Mckinley
about the Transvaal:
You will, l am sure, excuse this in
yasion of your holiday when I explain
that its object Is to invoke the exercise
of power which Providence seems to
have placed in your hands with special
reference to a danger now threatening
the peace of the world. 1t can hardly
be questioned that a proffer of friendly
mediation by you would suffice to delay.
If not prevent. the threatened invasion of
the Transvaal. If this government be
justified in exerting military force TO re-
store order at the other side of the globe,
surely it should exert every moral force
to preserve order at half the distance.
A recourse to arms, which might result
in kindling a. fearfully destructive con-
fagration throughout Christendom on
such questions as those at issue between
Great Britain and the Boer republic would
be an injury to civilized society which
all the forces of civilization should COM
bine to resist The assertion at the point

TO control or prescribe the conditions gov
erning the electoral franchise in another
country. admittedly independent, would
be an act of criminal aggression the

ANTITRUST KANSANS.
Governor Stanley and Party Left Last
Night for the Chicago
Gathering.

The Kansas delegation to the antitrust
convention left last night for Chicago over
the Rock Island. The delegation was COM
posed of Governor w. T.. Stanley, Attor-
ney General A. A. GODDARD. Congressman

John L. Hessin, of Manhattan; Harry
Pestana, of Russell; c. L. Elliott, of Well
ington; George w. Crane. the Topeka pub
Usher, and Porter Sherman, a banker of
Kansas City, Kas.
The Kansas delegates are all opposed to
trusts. They favor governmental control
of such institutions Senator Hessn be-
lieves that the trust question will pretty
nearly settle itself within the next year,
for he looks for the most of them to fail
o. their own weight. j. *. Cubbison wants
all goods controlled by trusts put on the
free list in the tariff schedule He says
this would dissolve the trusts in short
order.
Attorney General GODDARD is probably the
original antitrust man in Kansas. He has
given more thought to them probably than
any other man in the state. 1t has been a
hobby of his. He hopes to secure some
pointers at the Chicago conference that
will enable him to get after trusts now
operating in Kansas. He stands ready to
make fight on any trust that can be To-
Gated.

mace to the public in that they prevent
labor from reaping its share of the profits.
The governor will make an address at the

Things are running along well in Kan

are idle from choice. The banks are over
flowing with cash. 1t is hard to find places

You don't think these Filipinos would
chase our soldiers 1859 miles, If they should
start for home, do you?''
The Portland man replied that 1t was not
fear of the Filipinos, but humiliation In the
sight of other nations, that was referred
to, whereupon Mr. Reed said:
u have always observed that with in
divduals the fear OF humiliation Is eX-
actly in proportion as they deserve IL,

with Il nation ana with party. Some
