WARS DARK 81 DE-.
AL Glasses Mingle Around the Official
Casualty List---Some Pathetic In
cidents.

LONDON, November 10.-So completely
has the war taken hold Of the popular inn
agination that all other incidents pale into
insigDificance by its side. 1t Is the first
war of any real Importance krcwn to the
present generation, and people who nave
taken but languid interest curing recent
years In reports of frontier expeditions
and even Of expeditions against the khal-
ifa. are consumed with a burning anxiety
TO have the last word from the Transvaal
The size of the force engaged has, of
course, something TO do with TINS ana
nearly everybody seems TO have relative
or friend who is either at the front or on
his way to the front, and the recent news
has not been such as to allay anxiety on
their account It is in one OF the ground
floor rooms of the War Office that the Of
fetal notices of the casualties are posted
1t is gaunt, cherries apartment, remln-
iscent of the waiting room of railroad
station. A long shabby looking table IN the
center is strewed up with an official litter
of papers and pamphlets, slumbrous fire
burns duly in the rusty crate, while on
q long, green baize covered board hang
ing on the wall are pinned the fateful lists
of names, written out in official script
From 10 in the morning till late in the
evening this room is filled with anxious
inquirers.
At times, indeed. as for instance on the
afternoon following the arrival of the ter
rible news from Ladysmith, the crowd is
so dense that policemen have to be called
in from outside in order to marshal them
in some attempt at regular order. Tney
are, as | have said, of all classes-trim,
well set-up, grey haired and monocled re-
tired officers, toil-worn laboring men, Par
isian frocked society women, workngwom-
en- clad in rusty black, shoulder each other
as they press forward to scan the list for
the names of those dear to them
THE DARK SIDE OF THE WAR
MANY are the sad and pathetic scenes.
"A poor lady the other day, as her eye
Travelled down the roll of names, suddenly
started and fell fainting in the arms of her
companion A good-looking, fashionably-
dressed man stood by, down whose sun
burned cheeks the tears were rolling. An
Other poor woman, decently dressed in
somewhat shabby black, with wailing
child, wrapped in an old shawl, pressed
to her bosom, accosted the policeman:
please, sir, where can 1 find out about
my 'usband, Bill ---, OF the Mancnes-
ter?"
The officer silently pointed to the green
baize covered board. The woman made her

GOVERNMENT AFTER TRUSTS.
Action to Be Brought Against the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Fuel Co. and Fiji
teen Other Corporations

WASHINGTON, April 6.-By direction
of Solicitor General Richards. with
the approval of Attorney General
Griggs, bill in equity has been pre-
pared by United States Attorney w. E..
Bundy, bringing action in the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of Ohio against the Chesapeake
and Ohio Fuel Co., of Cincinnati, and
Is other companies or corporations,
miners or producers and shippers
of coal or coke. for violation
of the antitrust act of July 2,
1890. In addition to the c. & o. Fuel
Co., the defendants in the case are
given as follows: Donald Mcdonald, the
Robinson Coal Co., w. r. Johnson, the
Kanawha Splint Coal Co.. Carver Bros,
Enoch Carver. Joseph Renshaw, Re-
ceiver for the Big Black Band Coal Co.,
the Charlemore Coal Co., McCallister &
Co., Mecca Coal & Coke Co., the Chesa-
peake Mining Co., the Coalburg Col
liery Co., the Montgomery Coal Co.,
the Belmont Coal Co.. and Harris B,
Smith, special receiver for the Lens
Creek Coal and Coke Co.
1t is alleged in the bill that the de-
PENDANTS on December Is, 1897, entered
into contract and combination in the
form of trust and conspiracy in re-
straiEt of trade and commerce in. re-
gard to the sale and production OF
coal and coke, and in violation OF
law. This agreement. it is said
went into effect about January l.
1898. and since that time they have
monopOlized and controlled the
amount of coal and coke produced III
the Kanawha district and only per-
mitted such amount of coal mined and
coke made by the several defendants
as could be sold by the c. & o. Fuel
Co., and that the defendants were
| only permitted to ship their proper
| tionate amount of coal at stipulated
price and figured upon the ratio desig.
mated in the contract, as fixed by the
executive committee. By this section
it is alleged that competition in the
sale of the same has been totally de
StrOyed.
The court is petitioned to enjoin the
defendants from selling or shipping
any coal or coke into any state othe
than that in which they reside, by vir
tue of their agreement, which the
court is asked to declare illegal ant
void.

AGUINALD0 is SUPPLANTED.
cal Belligerent, Has Control of the
Filipino Forces.

MANILA, April 6.-There were per-
sistent rumors Wednesday that Agui-
naldo, the insurgent leader, has been
supplanted in the control of Filipino
affairs by Gen. Antonio Luna, COM
mander-in-chief of the Filipino forces.
Luna is described as being a typical
belligerent.
A Spanish banker who was inter
viewed expressed fear that the procla-
nation will not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion, because, he ex-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks who have
no definite opinions and the wire-pull-
ers outside of the city have undoubted-
ly intercepted it.
Continuing, the Spanish banker said
that if the proclamation had been is
sued on May 2, or even on August Il
of last year, the result would have
been different, as, in his opinion. based
on 20 years experience, the only argu
ment which appeals to the masses here
is the gun.
The editor of Oceanic thinks The
proclamation is the most polite dOcu
ment ever published in the Philippine
islands and it is bound to convince th<
wavering of the folly of further hos
tilities.
An English merchant says the frs
clause. with reference to the establish
ment and maintenance of American
sovereignty and warning the rebels
should settle the question in the mine
of every thinking Filipino.
a Scotch ship owner thinks it doe
not leave any further doubt as to tn,
policy of the United States and that
consequently, Aguinaldo must submit
to the inevitable. as the continuance o
hostilities is opposed to the best inter
ests of the Filipinos.
