alone can demonstrate what is the bet
ter action to take. Anything that men
aces the best interests Of the country
should be held in subsection by nation
al control. The formation Of trusts is
wholly a question of State control.
Trusts judiciously and eQuitably man
aged are not a menace, and if some
of them menace the rights Of the peo-
pie as. a whole, Congress without doubt
will and should enact some legislation
respecting them.
Representative Waters-In my opin-
ion currency reform is a question yet
TO be worked out and should have very
careful consideration by the Fffty-sixth
Congress. Regarding trusts, I see no
legal way that the Federal authorities
can successfully cope with the evils
engendered thereby, except, perhaps,
through the control of transportation
companies. I see no reason why we
should not make the trusts a national
issue If we can accomplish anything
thereby.
Representative Needham-I am in
favor of currency reform, and my vote
and influence will be used to the end
that our currency may be placed upon
more permanent basis. l shall favor
legislation, so far as Congress has au-
thortty for the purpose of minimizing
the evils Of trusts.

tiyes. Out Of revenge on Baron Won
der Horst, the Conservative Diet resolv-
ed not to pass any bills of which he
was the author or advocate. This reg
ular boycott has thus far been carried
out. It intensely amuses the Vor-
waerts. which first recorded the fact
that the election reform bill had been
shelved for the same reason. The pres
emf session of the Diet will soon close,
probably by the end of next week, after
the most pressing business has been
disposed of. The language Of the Con-
servative and Agrarian papers is even
more extraordinary. The Deutsche
Agar Correspondence, one of the main
organs of the Agrarians, proclaimed
that IT was high time the Emperor

ENGLAND THREATENED
WITH A DROUGHT
Thames Is Very Low and Wells in
Southern Villages Are
Giving Out

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-A World cable
from London says: London and the
whole south of England are still sizzling
under a merciless, untempered tropical
sun. The present drought has been I'M
paralleled for seventy years. But for the
exceptional rainfall in the winter and
spring the effects would be far more serf-
Gus.
Wells are giving out in the villages de-
pendent upon them The Thames is lower
than for fifty years and cannot much
longer furnish sufficient supplies for the
London water companies, while the Lea.
which runs through the most populous
and poorest district in the East End is
described by the sanitary officers as
merely an open sewer. Owing to the want
OF water the London streets, especially
in the West End, where there are wood
and asphalt pavements, are frightfully
malodorous.
The water companies are evincing their
concern about supplies by instituting
prosecutions on trivial charges of waste
London, in short, has been brought face
to face with most serious situation
owing to the greed and tyranny of the
water monopolies.
a oil for appropriating the water of
the London water monopoly interest will
be one of the first to be introduced by the
next Government.

articles in which it was claimed the
monarchy would be lost IL it attempted
to govern without the Conservative
party or against it.
The crisis, however, is now regarded
as ended. The canal bill will probably
be again introduced at the next session
of the Diet.
The commercial relations existing be-
tween Germany and the United States
continue to be discussed The iniuen-
tial Conservative Schlesische Zeitung
strongly advocates retaliatory meas
ures against the United States for Its
system of injuring German trade, p"
claiming that soft words never accom-
plished anything.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press learns on good authority that
Germany and Spain have been for some
time negotiating for the sale of SPANS
remaining colonies in Africa, particu-
larly the island of Fernando Pc, which,
as il is close to the Cameroons, would
be of considerable Importance to Ger
many. and the Elobey, Ifni and Corisco
islands.
The Dreyfus case holds Germany's
attention to some extent. The anar-
chist revolt and the murder of French
officers in Africa are pointed TO as
proofs of the increasing national disin-
tegration of France. Emperor William
said Monday, while conversing with
Generals Porthes and Garstein during
the parade at Mayence, Revolution Is
In full swing in Paris" The comment
of the press of every stripe Of political
faith on the matter is about the same,

ut Ew YORK. Aug. 26.-Members
M elected to the Ftfty-sixth Con-
gress have been asked by The
Call and Herald to indicate their
preferences for successors Of Speaker
Reed and Joseph w. Bailey, the mi
nority leader, and to explain their po-
sition in regard to currency and trust
legislation.
Answers were given by a very large
proportion OF the S57 members Of the
House. 1t appears that David B. Hen
derson of Iowa will be elected Speaker
without Republican opposition. David
A de Almond OF Missouri seems to be
IN the lead for the minority nomination.
The Republicans are practically
united in support Of the currency DILL
which will be reported by the currency
committee named by the Republican
caucus. They expect this measure TO
establish the gold standard unequivo-
cally and to increase National Bank
circulation. while breaking the end

That the trusts will furnish one of the
leading issues Of the season and Of the
coming Presidential campaign is I'M
rnistakably foreshadowed. From the
tenor Of the replies made to the Her
AIDS questions there seems to be pos
sibilitv and hope in some quarters that
the trust issue may eventually divide
the Republicans, and at the same time
unite the Democracy, which now
seems to be hopelessly split on the cur
rency question. CalifOrnians expressed
themselves as follows:
Representative Barham - have
reached the conclusion that, except in
q very limited way, the question Of
trusts is one calling for State and not
national legislation. Reviewing the
acts of Congress, now existing law on
the statute books, 1 am unable TO see
what further legislation could be had
or made by Congress.
Representative kahn-So far as cur
rency reform is concerned, I shall favor
q gold standard and shall support such
legislation as will tend to establish the
stability of the American dollar and
sustain its purchasing power in all the
markets of the world. I consider trusts
a menace to the welfare of our people,
and I certainly believe they should be
made a national issue.
Representative Loud-In regard to
trusts, I cannot say offhand what
should be the course pursued. Time

PLOT To BURN A
CIGAR FACTORY
Stock Was Small and
Heavily Insured.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Aug. 26.-Excitement pre-
walls here over what is supposed to be a
plot to burn down the Redding Corpora
tive Cigar Factory for the purpose of OBJ
tanning insurance. The factory was start
ed two months ago by five men from Au-
burn. +. Van Stavern was manager of the
company and Paul Newman secretary.
The business did not prove successful
and all the members of the company
dropped out but Van Stavern and Newman
On Wednesday the two went to San Fran
cisco. leaving NJ. J. Fahey. a recent en-
ploye, in charge. Fahey was arrested last
night for trying to sell unstamped cigars.
Mrs. Minnie Blome, who lives in the
building adjoining the factory, declares
that Newman tried on Monday to per
suade her to burn the building, offering
her a good price. She refused and Sheriff
Behrens thinks Fahey was to burn the
property.
The factory was entered and 800 worth
of stock was found. This is insured for
about $500. Newman owed 500 at the Tenn
pie Hotel and the stock was attached by
the proprietor to-day.

PASSED A DERELICT

PORT TOWNSEND, Aug. 2s.-Captain
A. l.. Hammer of the schooner Lily l.,

The lower part of the mainmast, on
which was a gait, was standing.
The hull was badly broken and a great
