DENUNCIATIoN OF TRUSTS.
Was Made by the Travellers Protec-

New Orleans. May 23.-The Travellers
ton opened to-day. After prayer by Ma
tional Chaplain Wilson, President LaTaste
called the meeting to order. The Commit
tee on Credentials reported 1893 delegates
present from twenty-four states.
President IaTaste read his annual re-
port, dealing mainly with the management
of the associate Secretary LaBaume
reported claims paid $999S7 claims denied
81 per capita expense of $1.S2. The pres
ent membership is 16, 262.
The Railroad Committee reported that it
had not been successful SO far in effecting
the interchangeable mileage book system.
The state presidents reported as to pro-
gress made.
The report of the L.egisla tive Committee
was devoted largely to trusts and their
evil effect upon trade. Concerning trusts
the report, which was unanimously adopt
ed, says in part:
THE dark cloud of monopolies and
trust still hover over us, and since our
last convention many commercial travel
ers have lost their positions and, to use
the language of an authorized agent of
trusts, 900 commercial travellers have
been thrown out of employment by the
concentration of mercantile and CONNER
cial industries into trusts. Three million
dollars daily are thus saved to the trusts
by the consequent Withholding of adver-
Using patronage from country newspa-
pers; in other words, the trusts in these
two items alone save to themselves &c.

the state capitol from Tallahassee to

the state capitol from Tallahassee to
Jacksonville
The jacksonville people seem determined
to have the capitol if possible, and they
think the shortest cut toward getting IL is
to have the State Convention adopt res
o!ution favoring the submission by the
next Legislature to the electors of the state
at the general election in 1902 OF a consti-
tutional amendment providing for the re-
moval of the capitol 10 Jacksonville on
March /, 1903. They have accordingly sent
to the Stale Convention a double deiega-
ton, consisting Of forty-four of
the braniest and most successful
political workers and takers that has
ever Represented any Florida county in
a state political cony ention, and instruct
ed that delegation to work for the adop-
zion of such a resolution as of paramount
Importance. AS the convention is to be
held in Jacksonville, the capital removal
question will most likely be made one of
the most prominent issues before the
body.
The Importance of this question as bear
ing particularly upon the gubernatorial
contest is due to the fact that Senator
Fred Myers, one of the strongest guber-
material candidates, lives in Tallahassee,
the present capital, and many OF the
Jacksonville people seem disposed 10 fight
his candidacy on the ground that if elect
ed Governor he would probably throw his
whole influence against capitol removal.
Mr.. Myers is known to be very popular
personally in Jacksonville, but, for the
reason stated, it is said that Der large
vote, 90 will oppose him, and be thrown
to Mr.. Beggs or Mr.. Jennings.
In Alachua and Hillsboro counties, the
capitals of which are Gainesville and
Tampa, Senator Myers has a large num-
Der of devoted and influential admirers,
and his friends are claiming both of these
delegations. Mr.. Beggs also claims them.
1t Is Most Complicated.
All the Florida politicians agree that this
guberna torial race is the most complicat-
ed and hardest to figure out that they've
known in many years Many think that
the powerful leverage enjoyed by Jack
sonville both in having the convention
meet there and in the superb working
delegation which will represent her in the
body of the assemblage, will enable that
city to push the capitol removal question
into such prominence that the guberna-
torial contest VIII be thereby decisively
affected. In a word, that the Jacksonville
delegation will dominate the convention.
A singular feature of the complication is
that each of the Ave gubernatorial aspir-
ants has in the last few years worked
against capitol removal schemes.
The general drift of opinion seems to be
that there is not mudh hope In the situa-
ton at present for Candidates Mays and
Milton, but that Messrs. Myers. Beggs
and Jennings are running down the home
stretch, neck and neck, all in prime condi-
ton and well jockeyed. IL seems certain
that all of the candidates will do less idlug
during the next four weeks than during
any previous month Of their lives.

An Insult Said spooner.

have said. I shall count upon him in
the future" :,
An Insult Said spooner.
Mr.. spooner: ITO say that the Sena-
tor will count upon me in the future is lit
tie less than an insult. This is a govern
ment of honor, and it is a people of hon
or. When the Senator expresses a fear
that the peoples desire TO keep the pledge
of this government will be allowed to SUM-
Der by the voice of commercialism de-
grades the people and underestimates, in
my judgment, their integrity. What have
we done for Cuba? When since the
morning stars first sang together in the
heavens has any people done for another
people what we have done for Cuba. AS
rapidly as may be In absolute good faith,
ton of national honor and venal politics in
presidential election. this admin trarion
is going forward TO redeem 10 the u most
its pledge to Cuba. We have given he
best government to the people thus far
they ever had. Every mans life is safe in
Cuba, every Woman's honor is safe IN
Cuba. Death and tyranny and starvation
have gone forever out of Cuba. OF course
there has been peculation in Cuba. Every
one is ashamed of it, But in no govern
ment ever Instituted has that not occurred,
But it never will turn out that any man in
any country can point TO the Teller reso-
tuition and say with truth that was a leg
islative lie."
TiIIman Takes n Hand.
Mr.. Tillman declared that our agents on
the island, were carpet ba ggerS and the
sooner they get out the better.
Continuing, Mr. Spooner said that if
Mr.. Bryan should ever become President
of the United States he believed he would
appoint men to proceed to Cuba, and other
island possessions just as President Nc
Kinley was appointing them.
After a spirited colloquy between Mr..
Spooner and Mr. Tillman, in which the
latter expressed the belief that Mr.. Bry-
an as President, would settle the pend
ing question in a way different from that
adopted by Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Allen of
Nebraska, rose and protested against
making "a political football of Mr.. Bry-
ans name.
"Of course" retorted Mr.. Spooner, sar-
castically, II am willing to receive les
sons in political etiquette from the sena-
tor from Nebraska" Oaughter.)
Further along Mr.. Spooner, discussing
Aguinaldo as an ally of the United
States, declared his belief that the Fill
Pine leader was in league with the Span
iards to drive the Americans from the
Philippine Islands. He read a letter from
Aguinaldo to the Spanish general in COM
mand at Iloilo in which the expression
occurred, I'VE may yet save from ship
