Red Hot Letter Regarding Trusts

Nashville Tenn, July 27.-Congress-
man Jshn W. Gaines Of this district es-
terday received red hot letter from
Former Attorney General F. 8. Monnett
OF Ohio, who led the fight in that state
against the Standard oil trust. The let
ter bears upon trusts and the policies
used 30 far in the in the Mckinley
Roosevelt campaign.
Grimes recently delivered speech in
congress upon the trust question in
which he used many OF the facts and
figures with regard to the Ohio fight and
the letter was one Of congratulation. In
speaking of the trust question and the
manner in which it is viewed by the
masses Of people, General Monnett says:
"One is surprised at the cold indiffer-
ence on the part Of the ignorant, pillaged
victims of trusts. who are only too will
ing to look at the balloon while trust
robbers reach their hands into their
pockets and enter their homes and rob
them Of their resources.

Chinese Situation.

London, July 2S,-Lyman j. Cages
statement that there is still hope, but
that it is constantly diminishing, is held
here to define accurately the situation.
The Chinese minister in London, Sir
Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh, yesterday re.
ceived telegram from Sheng, director
OF railway and telegraphs. to the effect
that an imperial decree In the following
terms was issued on July "a:
"It is fortunate that all the foreign
representatives, except Baron Won Let
teller. are found in safety and unharmed.
Provisions in the .shape Of food stuffs.
vegetables and fruits will be supplied to
the legations in order to show our cour-
tesy."
The morning Post goes 20 far as to as
sert that there ia now direct commune
cation between the Chinese authorities
in Pekin and London and that the min
isters are safe. However this may be
it is certain that the attempts OF the
French, Italian and other consuls to get
direct replies from Pekin have utterly
failed and it is pointed out that the
ability to supply the legations with
fruit and vegetables involves the con.
clusion that communication Is impeded
by the Boxers.
Thus, depite the daily alienation of
hopes and fears, the reiterated Chinese
assertions Of the safety Of the ministers
fail to carry conviction and the decision
OF the United States not to delay mill
tary measures is taken as the only pos
sible course to pursue.

WHERE HIS STRENGTH LIES.

where HIS STRENGTH LIES.
Those who profess to believe
that Mr.. Bryan will command less
support than he did in the last
national campaign have not studied
the situation.
Then democracy was divided;
now it is united.
Those who were frightened away
by silver are now in line.
For instance, Louis R. Enrich of
Colorado Springs, the original gold
democrat Of Colorado, called on
Mr.. Bryan the other day and prom
ised his support. He opposed him
four years ago.
Mr.. Enrich does not approve Of
Mr. Bryan's financial views, but as
a lover Of his country cannot
stand for the doctrine OF imperial>
ism.
Gen. John M. Palmer, the main
builder of the Denver & RioGrande
railroad and for years its president,
is gold democrat who opposed
Mr.. Bryan four years ago, but will
vote for him this year because of
the imperialist issue.
These are but sample democrats
who bitterly opposed the Bryan
ticket in the last campaign.
Throughout the union they are
to be found returning to the fold.
But the strength Of democracy
is not entirely confined to its own
body this year There is disaffec>
ton in the adversary's ranks.
There is strong anti-imperial>
ist sentiment stirring the republic
ans OF the country. There are
many thousands Of loyalrepublic-
ans who cannot and will not follow
their party's lead when they see
destruction ahead.
Such strong and patriotic men
as Carl Schurz and Senator Hoar
are leading the revolt against inns
peralism. While they may not
vote the democratic ticket, they
will not vote the republican one.
Their votes will tie minus quaint
ty, so far as their own party is con>
cerned, and their party cannot at>
ford to lose votes.
The laboring vote is not to be
cajoled as it was four years ago.
The wage worker has seen the cost
of household necessities advance
from twenty five to fifty per cent
during the Mckinley adtninistra-
ton and his daily stipend stand
still. In the growth of the trusts
he can see his finish. He finds
but one life preserver in sight, and
that the democratic party whose
special mission is to bust the trust.
The commercial travellers OF
America voted almost in a body
for Mckinley at the last election.
Those who were not entirely wiped
out by the trusts are now rallying
their forces and getting under the
banner of democracy.
The foreign voting population is
mainly composed Of people who
came to America because of its
free government and because they
were desirous Of escaping from
monarchial conditions. They will

DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE RICE CASE

New York, Oct. 1.-THE case of
William NJ. Rice, the millionaire whose
recent death under suspicious circum-
stances has aroused so much interest,
promises to afford something more
than n seven-days' wonder. The arrest
of Charles +. Jones, his secretary, who
was with him at the time of his death
and who did not call n physician until
some time afterward. together with the
arrest of his attorney, Albert Il. Pat
rick, on the charge of forgery Is likely
to result in a cause celebre.
After Mr. Rices death Patrick pre-
sented to the bank two checks pur-
porting to be signed by Rice, one for
s55, 900 and the other for $4,000. Be
sides these two other checks were pre-
sented for payment or certification, for
S125, 900 and $4,000. respectively, all
of which, 1t is alleged, We're forged.
The body of the dead millionaire was
sent to the embalmer Immediately al
ter his death, causing n suspicion that
II was for the purpose of preventing an
examination for poison.
There We're two wills. the second of
which gives Albert T. Patrick. the at
torney. control of nine-tenths of the es-
tate, which is variously estimated at
from Sl.OO0,Oo0 to S15.o0O,OOO. This
will is also believed by Captain Nc
Clusky, chief of detectives, to have
been forged.
The only development in the case to-
day was the attempt to bail Patrick.

REWARD FOR CAPTURE
OF TRAIN ROBBERS

Denver, Colo, Oct. PA reward OF
$1,000 is offered by the Burlington &
Missouri Railroad Company for the
capture or killing of a train robber or
for the Illustration of a robbery. The
orders were issued last Tuesday from
the Omaha headquarters OF the COM
pany's lines west of the Missouri river.
The reward is specially intended for
employees of the company, but may be
earned by anybody at all. Heretofore
an employe was not necessarily reward
ed for frustrating a train robbery O(
aiding in the capture or killing Of q
robber, and, naturally. the employees
didn't take the chances which. 1t In be-
lieved, they would take otherwise. 1t
was considered part of an employees
business to protect the company's prop
erty.
The recent robbery OF trains running
west of the Missouri river WAS tho
cause of the offer of reward by tho
Burlington. A half dozen train rob
berries have occurred within the last
two months and the Burlington has
taken the initiative in guarding against
the robbery of its trains. The robbery
of the passengers in the Burlington
sleepers near Brush n few weeks ago,
too, impelled General Manager Hold
rege of the Burlington to offer an in
ducement to the employees to thwart
train robbers. The last condition was
suggested by the heroism Of Ray MIL
Ter, the brakeman on the Denver d
Rio grande, who smashed a would-be
robber over the head with his lantern,
knocking him Off the platform.
Trainmen said the Burlington's new
order would have the effect Of spur
ring the trainmen to action. Everyone
of them on trains running into Den
yer bas bought a revolver. Several of
the conductors and brakemen who
have had their own special lanterns
have gone back to the heavy lantern
furnished by the company.
1t is said that other roads will follow
the example Of the Burlington.
