Governor Wolcott VIII address them and
Rev. DR.. Justin Smith. president of the

the fact that the President OF the United

his presence. is enough to presage large
crowd and unbounded enthusiasm on the
part OF the towns people and the college

company them to the college.
Final arrangements for the journey TO

ON n Worthy Charity.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Hull House is having
a rival in a model school which Mrs. En-
mons Blaine proposes to establish on the
West Side during the coming year. While
the two institutions will have the common
purpose in view of elevating mankind they
will be different in that the model school
will endeavor to occupy the same relation
toward the children of the crowded. district
that Hull House has taken toward their
parents. One hundred thousand dollars will
be devoted by Mrs. Blaine TO the founding
of this school as a sort of adjunct to the
college for teachers which her philanthropy
has assured for Chicago in the near future
Mrs. Blaine has her agents already looking
for site and Is determined that the school
shall be ready for pupils simultaneously with

HEAVY VERDICT.
An English Corporation Awarded
235S.OOO and Interest.

NEW YORK, June 19.-The Supreme Court
jury In the suit brought by the Industrial
and General Trust limited, an English cor
poration, against j. KENNEDY Tod and Jas.
s. Leitner as the reorga MIA ton committee
of the Birmingham, Sheffield e. Tennessee
River Railroad Company. to-day handed in
a verdict for s355,0O0 in favor of the English
corporation. The railroad company went
into the hands of a receiver in 1893, and the
defendants were constituted a reorganization
committee representing the bondholders. 1t
was agreed. however, that the reorganiza-
ton committee before ratification should
submit their plan to the bondholders, and
that any bondholder not agreeing Herewith
should have the right to receive the value
of the securities owned by him. The plaintiff
corporation deposited $575.0O0 worth of bonds
and afterward refused to indorse the scheme
Of the reorganization committee. The suit
was then brought to recover this sum with
interest.
1t was contended on behalf of the plaintiff
that the reorganization committee reserved
the right to construe the provisions Of the
reorganization scheme. which II was con-
tended was inequitable. The defendants al
legged that the English corporation was a
party to all transactions OF the reorganiza-
ton committee and could not recover. The
jury returned a verdict in favor Of the
plaintiff company for 1856, 900. the amount
claimed with interest, amounting TO 500 900.

get it. OF course. there are a few agitators.
men who want to control, whose ambitions
have not yet been gratified. but they do not
amount to anything. The condition Of the
island Is improving daily. The houses are
being rebuilt End a large number Of the
people are at work In the fields Prior to
my departure" said the general, II made a
visit to every town Of any size in the prov
ince and did not receive one application for
assistance. The inhabitants are anxious to
have their schools rebuilt and they seem
anxious that the younger element should
go to school. The troops are healthy. There
has been no yellow fever since last Novem-
ber. and the death rate Is about as low as
1t is in any good-sized town here. We are
making good headway in the sanitary ar
rangements and the people are beginning to
appreciate the changes"
General Wood said that there was no feel
ing in Cuba about the disposition of the rev.
enue. General Wood left for New York
and Washington this afternoon. He expects

Krantz to accept the portfolio Of public

VIEWS OF GOVERNOR ROGERS.
He Sees No Remedy for Trusts Except
Public Ownership.

AUSTIN, Tex. June 19.-Governor Sayers
has received letter from Governor Rogers.
of Washington. declining TO attend the
antitrust convention at st. Louis. He pre-
sents his reasons in the following letter:
In reply to your invitation allow me to
say that II will be impossible for me TO
attend. 1t has occurred to me in this con-
nection that many people are advocating
state control OF trusts with insincerity
thinking in this way TO pass through the
next national campaign with safety to them
selves, feeling sure that whatever state leg
islation may be enacted which will really
curb the power OF trusts will eventually be
declared unconst' utsonal by the United
States Supreme Court. With those who thus
and for that purpose advocate state legisla-
ton regarding trusts 1 can have no SYM
pathy and / am bound to believe that legis-
lative action which seeks to control the
formation and management Of trusts will
prove Intellectual.
I'm the first place the word trust is mis-
leading when applied to a great many in
dustrial combinations now threatening the
prosperity of the people. In many instances
so called trusts are merely larger corpora
tions.
'It has occurred to me that corporations
will be declared to possess a vested and
constitutional right to buy and sell. Clearly
1t seems to me corporations. as we'll as
natural persons, have a right to buy and
hence a right to sell whatever is offered
for sale in the market. If sufficient weight
of capital be employed corporation or a
natural person has the ability and the con-
stitutional right to buy all OF a certain
product offered for sale and this will un-
questionably operate to fix the price at
which such product will in future be sold.
We can see that as In the case OF that
parent OF trusts, the Standard Oil Company,
the power to buy and sell possessed by that
company is entirely sufficient to regulate
the price at which oil will be sold. The
Standard Oil Company thus gets the power
to drive out of business all competitors and
in this way to establish the price for which
their product must be sold.
.I am at loss to see, too, how the
natural and fundamental right of either
natural or corporation persons to buy and
sell can be interfered with by legal enact
ment under our Constitution. For this rea-
son 1 can see no remedy for the trust evil
save public ownership. This new question
OF the trusts is really the very old one Of
capital versus labor, or. stated differently,
the attempt of the almighty dollar to en-
tire supremacy in the affairs of men. There
is in all this an irrepressible conflict which
will not down at the bidding of any state
legislature
In addition to this letter the Governor
received brief letters from the Governors
of Oregon and Pennsylvania indorsing the
antitrust convention and promising to be

States for this purpose. and the mining COM
mission will go West for the purpose Of
looking into the conditions affecting in that
region The latter commission will hold its
lrst meeting In Denver on the 18th Of July.
The subcommission on manufactures will
make tour Of New England during the
summer
James Barrett, vice president of the Geor-
gia State Agricultural Society. was the only
witness before the commission to-day. He
spoke on the agricultural conditions in the
South. saying they were worse to-day than
they had ever been in the history Of the
country He said the cotton interests were
especially depressed. prices last year
amounting to little over cents pound.
AT this price a man could not save himself
If he paid wages amounting to more than 50
month. Planters generally pay about IS a
month for wages. and. at such terms. they
could not prevent loss If they received less
than cents per pound. Mr.. Barrett said
that nine-tenths Of the cotton grown was
mortgaged before it matured. Rates of in
terest and commission were high and the
merchants were gradually coming into pos
session of the land.
The banks charge 10 per cent for money
for three months time. He advanced the
idea that the national bank act had done
vast damage in outlawing real estate as Sc
curity for money loaned to these banks and
that. all told, this act was, to the South.
the most damagi legislation that had ever
been enacted. The witness said that nearly
all the plantation labor was done by ne
groes. and that there was practically no i'm
migration, because of the cheapness Of Ia
Dor and the social conditions. The railroad
rates were such as to render 1t impossible
to longer make watermelon growing profit
able and the same was true of other garden
products. 1.-The railroads are both the daddy
and nanny of trusts he asserted.
Mr.. Barrett said the census Of 1880 had
shown that Augusta. where he lives. was
the most illiterate place in the United
States, and he thought this fact was due
to the presence of too much politics in the
schools.
The first witness to be examined when the
industrial commission resumes it's full ses-
sions here in September will be Mr.. p. C.
City, Pa. His subject will be Industrial
development and evolution in transporta-
ton of oil from a historians standpoint"
Mr.. Boyle is probably the best posted man
in the oil region on the history of petroleum
from its discovery to the present time, and
he is expected TO give the commission much
important information based on actual sta
tistics. His paper the Derrick, has been an
authority in oil matters for over a quarter
of a century.

REINFoRCEMENTs FOR OTIS.
Arrival of the sherman at Manila
Volunteers Returning.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-General Otis has
cabled the War Department as follows:
The Sherman arrived this morning. Cas-
ualty-Edwin L. Gayett Company l. Six
men were left at Honolulu sick. Seventeen
cases OF typhoid fever en- route. The Sixth
Infantry leaves for noilo to relieve the Cal
ifornlans at Negros. Transport Indiana, one

United States as soon as the troops can be
placed in readiness. Colorado TO follow on

eanizations here desire muster-out at San

The arrival of the Sherman means that
Genera, Otis viii receive substantial rein
fcrcemen.s. The Sherman left San Fran
cisco May 2 and carried the Sixth In
fantry and a number OF recruits, number
ing IN ali forty-one officers and 1856 en-
listed men. under command OF Brigadier
General Bates. Colonel kellogg. of the Twen-
ty-sixth Infantry. was taken I'll on the trip
from San Frascisco to Honolulu and was
fnvaiided home from the last named port.
The transport Grant left San Francisco

week Some confusion result from the
coupling or Iloilo with Negros. There IS a
battalion OF the First California at Negros,
under command OF the officers at Iloilo,
which Is the headquarters for that part of
the Philippines.
The cable message OF Gen. Otis regard
ing the wishes OF the volunteers was in re-
sponse 10 a specific inquiry OF the War
Department. based on its declared policy OF
having each volunteer organization elect
whether II should be mustered out at San
Francisco or at its home station. 1t appears
from General Otis's message that the vol
unteer organizations prefer to disband at
San Francisco in accordance with the orig
inal arrangements of the War Department.
"A model camp has been established at San
Francisco provided with every facility for
the comfort and convenience OF the return
ing soldiers II has been deemed advisable
from a sanitary standpoint to keep each or
ganization IN the camp at least two or three
weeks before permitting the men to go 10
their homes and scatter through the coun-
