the strikers and the best order is re-

no great gains or losses on either

in operation in the Schuyltlll region
than at any previous time.

THRRE is somehow o wonderful aud
amazing difference between the Mark
Hanna Of 1895 and Mark Hanna of 1900.
In 1896 he'kept quiet, worked method
ically and controlled his mouth. This
year it Is all different. He has been
talking necessarily, with provocatiOn
when he could find 1t, without il nee
Cessary. Every State election Is made
the text for an interview and every
democratic speech, an excuse for an
oratlon. With each speech he seems
to grow more and more bitter, vile and
denunclatory, He talks like one who
was ratified, or 80 puffed up by his En-
glish given title of "King Maker"
that he thinks the whole American
people must accept his mutterings as
law and truth without questioning.
At the rooms Of the commercial Nc
Klnley club in Chicago on the 10th, Of
this month he made speech to q lot
Of down town business men ana their
employees In which be called Bryan a
hypocrite and was hissed for it, In
the same speech he said II would like
to ask Mr., Bryan or any other demo-
Crat to tell me what a trust is. l be-
lieve there is not trust in the United
States" That probably settles it for
Mr.. Hanna certainly ought to be an
authority on the question of trusts.

WANTON INSULT.

1t wss during the heat of the war be-
tween the United States and Spain
that former Secretary Of War Alger
performed one service to his country
for which he should he remembered.
The occasion was the receipt Of this
epistle;
SANTIAGO, July 23, 1898.
"DTAR Mr., SECRETARY: l am writ

Of General Wheeler. We earnestly
hope that you will send us-most of the

division, including the Rough Riders,
who are as good as any regulars and
three times as good as any State troops

A dozen or more years ago farmer
twisted bit Of iron about a wire
fence, and noticed that his cattle
avoided it. Thus originated the use of
the barbed-wire fence, which has cut
the great free prairies into ranches.
It has lacerated and cut from water
countless numbers Of the wild animals
that once roamed the prairies, and is
now classed as war material by the
nations. Both in Cuba and in South
Africa the decentralization wrought by
the deadly barbed-wire fence was
greater than that OF the most improved
guns and powder. The position Of
fence cutter has promoted the drum
mer-hpy into the forefront Of danger
When Lieutenant Ord led his men in

do nothing for you" 81 did not call
you back for that" was the brave re-
ply. Il am done for; but take my

At the annual dinner of the Sila
Association of America recently, the
chief guest was the Chinese minister
to the United States, WI Ting Fang.
He made the speech of the evening.
He contrasted the friendly attitude of
the United States toward China with
the aggressions. of European nations,
and said that so long as Americans
kept on in their pacific policy of COM
merce and trade, they would be well
come everywhere. not only in China,
but in japan as we'll. Trade statistics
indicate that the Chinese minister is
right. China is buying now of Ameri-
can goods from five to six times as
much as it bought ten years ago. Last
year it bought four million dollars
worth more than the year preceding.
The gain was mostly in cotton goods
kerosene and -four. Foreign trade, of
course, is not controlled by sentiment
People buy what they like best, where
they can get it cheapest; but. other
things being equal; they would rather
buy of their friends than Of those
whom they may regard as enemies.

negan last night before the Cadillac
Athletic club in fifty-fiv seconds. Fin
negan landed the first blow as they
came to the center of the ring, and
Jeffries then put his left on, the Pitts
burg mans jaw and he went to the
floor. Finnegan came up in a few
seconds only to be sent to the floor
again with a blow in the same place.
He stayed down longer this time, and
when he again arose he was in visible
distress. He had hardly assumed q
fighting position before the champion
put his left in the pit of his stomach
and Finnegan went down, completely
out. Referee Siler counted the seconds
off. and when he stepped back it was
seen Finnegan was crying. He stag
gered to his feet, reeled against the
ropes and his seconds rushed into the
ring and carried him to his corner. It
was several minutes before he recov-
cred sufficiently to leave the ring.
Jeffries said he weighed 900, but he
looked thirty pounds heavier. Finne-
gan weighed $50 and looked like d boy
beside the champion.

First Day of the Queens Visit Passes
Uneventfully.
Dublin, April T. - Queen Victoria's
first day Of residence in Dublin passed
quite uneventfuHy Such scenes as
there might we'll have occurred in Lon
don. The official announcement Of the
formation Of the Irish guards was not
given out here and came from London
too late for the afternoon papers.
Neither the Freeman's Journal, the In
dependent nor the Irish Times COM
nent upon it this morning, but the Ex-
press says sit is a great and kind COM
pliment to Ireland" and suggests that
the guards should be chiefly composed
Of the remnants Of the Irish regiments
which have fought so yaliantly in
South Africa.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press is Informed that the queen is in
the best of health. and certainly she
looked so during botE drives. When
she went out i'll the afternoon without
escort carriages and cabs and jaunting
carts persisted in following her. and
the policemen, after fewfutile efforts.

said that her majesty received the
news of the attempted assassination
with calmness. and although disturbed.
she was not in the least agitated.

The immense profits amassed by
various trusts have been often talked
about in seemingly extravagant terms,
but the most extravagant oratory OF
the antitrust agitation has seldom, ii
ever, equaled the representations made
in the courts by Mr.. F'rick, the part
ner of Mr.. Carnegie in the Carnegie
Steel Company Of Pittshurg. Mr..
Tricks action is brought to prevent
Mr.. Carnegie from freezing him out"
of his interest in the concern and in
order to make clear his case it becomes
necessary to exhibit the profits of the
company, thus in a sense letting the
cat out Of the bag" According to Mr..
Frick the net profit of 1899 was $751;
100000 and the net profits for 1900 will
amount to $42,50o,0 900. Mr.. Carnegie is
said to consider this latter somewhat
excessive and fixes the profits for 1906
ut the moderate sum of S4o,000,0 900.
