PRESIDENT HADLEY
GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
THE TRUST PROBLEM

New Haven. Conn.,. March 21.-Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale, a leading American
authority on railroads. speaking last
night on public control of Industrial ac-
tivity, said:
1.-THE growth of large corporations and
the increasing consolidation of capital in
every form of industrial enterprises has
brought to the front now as never before
that part of the question of socialism
which relates to the relations between
government and industrial enterprise.
Whatever system is adopted the man.
agement will be in the hands of the few.
1t is necessary for the successful con-
duct Of modern industry that it should
be managed in this way. These men in
whom power is centralized are likely to
be the same, whether the industry be
held in the name of private corporation
or in the name of the community. The
same qualities which command success
in business tend to command success in
politics also. Much of the complaint
with regard to the effect of the money
power in politics is but a confession Of
the inevitableness of this fact.
ut is sometimes said that state rail-
roads will not have to pay the profits
that are now distributed by private rail-
roads. But what does this mean? The
state gets the railroads for nothing? No.
1t must borrow money to pay for them.
The attempt to confiscate them without
pay would not only be unconstitutional,
but would be destructive of all social
order. On the money thus borrowed it
must paw interest
'The railroads of the country at pres
ent, taking good years and bad years to-
gether. are probably not earning more
than 8 per cent So should the govern
ment borrow money at per cent it
would simply mean that the same
amount Of money would be distributed
by government agents to holders of gov
ernment stocks and bonds.
"A large part of the difficulty about
trusts at the present day lies in the fact
that We are trying to carry into an age
of commission the morals and the law
developed in a time of free competition
We leave the producer free to make what

Democratic Views.

Washington. March 20.-Ex-Postmas-
ter General Don NJ. Dickinson said last
night of the Nebraska democratic plat
form:
Il had hoped that the democratic party
would be allowed to write it's platform
this year. When the Lincoln party be-
gins by re-adopting the Chicago plat
form entire and then proceeds to reas-
sert it in particulars, and we are given
TO understand that this platform is to be
offered to the democrats later on, per-
haps we are to be disappointed"
Senator Jones of Arkansas chairman
OF the national committee. said:
II don't know why the newspapers
should say that this is Mr.. Bryan's plat
form. but I think it very admirable
the country are saying and thinking just
now. The plank about the initiative and
referendum is perhaps an exception.
Within certain limits the referendum is
a good thing. I don't believe however,
in submitting all kinds of legislation and
all public questions to the popular vote
AS to the plank about imperialism,
agree heartily with the first two propo-
sitions. ! believe in giving the Filpinos
independence, but when it comes to pro-
tecting them from outside interference,
as we have protected the republics Of
Central America. that is subject which
requires consideration. ! don't think it
practicable to extend the Monroe doc
trine to the Philippines. Otherwise, I
regard the platform as very happy ex-
preston Of democratic sentiment and
strongly approve Of it,"

WORK OF THE SENATE.

Washington, March 21.-Turner Of
Washington, offered resolution direct
ing the secretary of war to inform the
senate whether any concession to exca-
vate the gold bearing bed of sea in the
vicinity Of Cape Nome, Alaska, or in
other Alaskan waters has been made to
any individual or corporation or associa-
tion by the secretary of war of any other
department official and If SO upon what
theory of authority such grant was made.
Griggs also supported the bill. He said
two-thirds of the members who would
vote against it would do so under mis-
apprehension and because they did not
care to take the trouble to meet the OBJ
jections Of constituents who did not un-
derstand the measure.
In response to inquiry as to informa-
ton which had prompted the resolution
Turner said he had been informed by the
governor of Alaska that the war depart
ment granted exclusive rights to certain
persons to mine the bed of the sea near
Cape Nome. "If this is true" he said,
1T is shame, reproach and scandal"
The resolution was agreed to.
Pettigrew offered and secured the pas
sage of a resolution directing the secre-
tary of war to inform the senate what
were the qualifications Of voters in the
approaching election in Cuba, who pre-
scribed the qualifications, the purpose of
election and who would have charge of it..
Hale called up the measure making ap-
preparations to supply additional urgent
deficiency. The committee amendment
thereto was agreed to and the bill passed
without comment.
Carter called up his motion to recon-
slider the vote by which the senate yester-
day adopted a resolution providing a mes
senger to every senator not chairman Of
standing committe. The motion pre-
vailed and the resolution was referred to
the committee on contingent expenses.
The bill to authorize judges of the dis
trict court of the United States to appoint
stenographic reporters and determine
the duties and compensation of such
reporters was passed. The bill provides
for the appointment of ninety court re-
porters at a salary of $4,000 each, extra
pay being provided for extra manuscripts
of court proceedings supplied.
The bill to provide a civil code for the
district of Alaska was then taken up for
consideration.

And That Occurred North
Of Kimberley.
DESTROYING THEBRIDGES
TranSvaalerS Evidently Intend
to Abandon the Defense Of
the Free State--PreS.
Steyn'S Remarks.

London, March 21.-2:c0 p. m.-The
only news from South Africa showing
activity on either side comes from War
renton. north Of Kimberley. where de-
sultory fighting occurred all Of Sunday,
resulting in the retreat of the Beers to-
wards Christiana, under shell fire.
The progress of this column towards
Mafeking has either almost ceased or is
forbidden to be mentioned In the dis
patches. Nothing comes from Colonel
Plumer, and Mafeking apparently still
awaits relief.
The Pretoria account of the skirmish
at Fourteen Streams on March 16 says
that q Boer command was preparing to
destroy a railroad bridge. The engage
ment lasted half an hour, with the result
that one burgher was slightly wounded.
The same dispatch announces the ar
rival at the Transvaai capital of General
Schalkburger from Natal.
The second edition Of the Times today
publishes dispatch from Bloemfontein,
dated, Monday, which says:
"The blowing up of bridges by the
Beers is an evident sign that the Trans
vaalers intend to abandon the defense Of
the Free State"
All is quiet in the south and west. A
corps of young Beers from the farms
surrounding Bloemfontein, under an inn
perial officer, has been detailed for police
work and to prevent the further looting
of the abandoned farms by the kaff1rs.
1t il said that when President Kruger
left Bloemfontein after his recent visit
there, Steyn's parting remark was:
Mind the British do not catch you, or
you will get better quarters at st. Helena
than l."
Rudyard Kipling has gone to Bloem-
fontein.
The Beers at Aliwal North are re-
ported to be still holding a position in
the big hills on the Free State side.
From a Pretoria dispatch it appears
some misunderstanding regarding Lord
Salisbury's reply to the American offer
of mediation exists there. 1t has been
quoted to the effect that Salisbury said
he would accept the Intervention Of no
other power, which leads to the belief
that American reports will be listened to
in the final settlement.

queen visited at Nettley hospital. re-
