KNOCKING THE OCTOPUS.
Fierce Onslaught of Words Upon the
Trusts in House.
gsPpc1AL TO THE rRKssy

Washington, June 1.-The trusts have
been coming in for a terrific humping
during the last three days of the week in
Congress. Everyone has been against
them, and one who has not had some
experience in the way of politics in this
and other countries and in this and other
generations, would suppose, after listen
ing to the debate in Congress, that the
days of the trust would be very few in
the land. Good words for the octo puses
have been few and scattering, yet prob
ably not one of those who have denouced
them would, If he could, blot them out
of existence tomorrow. The extrava-
gance of debate is only indicative of the
widespread sentiment in the country
that the great aggregations of capital are
going too far and need to be restrained
by wholesome legislation. The debate in
the House may seem to foreshadow ulti-
mate action more radical than this; but
before the Senate has concurred the sub
ject will have settled down to a conserya-
tive and more reasonable basis.
There has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats
on the subject of pleasing the people in
regard to the trusts, and the Democrats
are much chagrined to see the credit OF
positive action going to their opponents
while themselves are in position to have
a record for nothing but howlings.
The Constitutional amendment propo-
sition put the House Democrats in an
awkward place. Their leaders like Bailey
and Richardson did not like to waive the
old, historic state rights principles OF
their party; but they could not hold
many of the rank and file, who felt 1t SAT
er to risk the violation of state rights
than to appear to obstruct trust legisla-
ton.

proof, was not shattered by the discharge.
Therefore the burglars secured nothing
from Its interior. The money, the
stamps, and the postoffice papers are
safe. Mr.. ColSsays:
81 find IL impossible to get into the
vault this morning, and have been
obliged to send away for assistance In
opening up, But Notwithstanding the
temporary delay lin getting at the papers,
have everything to be thankful for In
knowing that they are safe. The robbers
secured q few dollars in money that did

The damage to Mr.. Coles store is con-
siderable. His windows were blown out
and most Of the Office furniture, includ-
ing handsome rosewood desk, is prac-
tically ruined and the whole interior was
strewn with debris.
1t was found this morning that the

this place they were able to secure only
four or five dollars.
The store Of Mr.. Cole has been entered

Buckleld, June 1.-The most sensa-

The desperate gang that is operating in

the store of Alfred Cole, ruined the safe
and nearly ruined the store, escaping af-
ter pitched battle in the streets of the
village, fighting off the citizens who pur-
sued them through the darkness.

e vening walking along the railroad track
in the direction of Buckfield. 1t Is pretty
certain from the descriptions given that
these were the same men who afterward
did such evil work In this village. Two
Of them were short and two were tall. All
were strangers and were dressed roughly.
Shortly after noon Friday two of the
postoffice burglars were sighted In the
woods near here by the party of pursuers.
The men were some distance away-too
far for a rifle shot to reach them. They
disappeared promptly and in spite of all
efforts to find them at this hour are Sc
curely hidden in the forest.
Sheriff Tucker has been on the ground
all day and with him Is Deputy Sheriff
Porter. They have under them large
band OF men, all armed with rifles and
these men have formed Gordon that very
nearly surrounds the district where the
burglars are supposed to be hidden. At
noon large majority of the party re-
turned to the village for dinner, but
enough sentries were left to guard the
belt of woods. 1t is not thought that 1t
is possible for the robbers to escape the
woods where they have been located.
At two o'clock about one hundred men
were sent back into the field and will
stay there till the men are captured or
until they surrender
Tonight men will be posted on every
road leading out Of town and will also be
stationed in various parts of the woods
No one can enter or leave Buckfield with
out giving good account of himself.
The whole section is in an uproar over
the matter and the men will be taken,
dead or alive, If it is possible thing.

NO DOUBT OF REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Omaha, Nov. (SpeciaD.-It is settled tonight,
without possible grounds for dispute, that the
Republicans have swept the State and have
elected the State ticket and the Presidential
electors by majorities ranging from 1.50O TO
5000. The Legislature is still claimed by the
PoPulists. but the Republicans say they will
have 20 votes out Of 133 on joint ballot. The
Congress ticket remains unchanged though
the Popusts elected Robinson, in the lid, by
only 200; Stark. in the WITH. by the same figure,
and Shallenberger. in the With, by only l2O.
Twenty-one counties have sent in complete
turns. giving Mckinley. 40.099. and Bryan,
1880. The same counties in 1896 gave Nc
Kiney, "a 4S1: Bryan. 3S O92 making net Re
publican gain of 5.720. The ratio OF gain con-
tinues steady and has never fatered from the
moment the first precinct reported last night.
Though the Fusion forces do not yet cOncede
the State it is likely to give Mckinley not less
than 1000 majority
Chairman Lindsey of the Republican Com
mittee said tonight:
The State has gone Republican by majorties
ranging from 1000 to 10000. The full State
ticket is elected with the Presidential electors,
and we have % ont of 133 votes joint bal
lot in the Legislature making II certain that
two Republican Senators will be elected. The
Congress ticket is probably not changed, though
we do not yet concede the election Of Robinson
in the llld which later returns may show has
been carried by the Republicans.
A non-partisan view. however. is that the
Legislature is not yet certain. In fact, it may
he forty-eight hours before the situation is
known definitely.
Already the fusion forces are talking Of
contest of the state ticket provided the Legis-
Iature is Fusion, and this will probably be done
on charges OF fraud.

London, Nov. S. a m.-Several excited
operators rushed INTO Shorter's Court as early
as $50 o'clock yesterday morning, shouting
"Atchisons," "Milwaukees' and Unions" They
were heralds of McKinley's election They soon
had an eager crowd about them yelling for
Yankees" at any price. The gamble went on
until the Stock Exchange was opened, and from
the swarm of telegraph messengers it was evil
dent that the spectators were in touch with
large body of French and German buyers. Up
went every American stock and the excitement
continued throughout the day. There were tenn
porary breaks in 'Atchsons" and Unions, but
there were speedy reactions, and it great
day for Americans" The earlier dealings were
purely speculative but the upward tendency
was sustained, and the general effect of McKin-
leys election markets of all kinds highly
stimulative.
The result of the election continues the chisf
topic of the English press which. while main

drawn from the different points Of view. The

bringing about another Majuba by hauling
down the flag in the Philippines. Other writer's
taking up another parable compare the silver
movement with GIadstones Home Rule policy,
and assert that il has had equally demoral-
izing effect upon the rarty in opposition. The
outspoken Radicals do not hesitate 10 express
sympathy with Bryan's views all questions
except silver and lay stress upon what they call
his programme of social reform, including free
trade, income taxation, warfare against trusts
and hostility to the money power and mill
tarism.' Other Liberal journals ascrba Bryan s

Halifax. n s. Nov. THE Maritime Prov
inces apparently have supported the Laurier
government more pronouncedly than before. In
Nova Scotia the four mining counties Of Cape
Breton Island send a solid contingent Of five
Liberals to Ottawa. Among the defeated Con-
servative candidates there is Sir Charles Tup-
per, who encountered his first political reverse
Of forty years unbroken public life. This was
probably his last election. The vote was: Tup-
per, Conservative, 3,463; McDougal, Conserva-
Liberal. 3IS3 Sir Charles Tupper arrived here
from Sydney this morning and voted in Halifax.
The defeat OF the venerable Conservative leader
is one of the surprises of the election.
In Nova Scotia proper there several
changes of counties with a net gain for the Ad-
miniStration. The whole OF Nova Scotia was
represented at Ottawa before the cleo ton by
twelve Liberals and eight Conservatives. The
new Parliament Will probably contain fourteen
Liberals and six Conservatives.
