EDITORS AGAINST TRUSTS.
Resolutions Adopted After a Row
Over the Wood Pulp Question.

NEW ORLEANS, March AT to-day's
session of the National Editorial Associa-
ton the resolutions against trusts intro
duced yesterday were taken up. ]. E. Lam
ing, of Norwalk. o., made an eloquent adj
dress. He said emphatically that there was
no duty on wood pulp, and here the ex-
element began again. President Henry,
who had taken the chair was compelled to
rap continually for order.
Delegate John Maggie. of Manitowoc,
Wis, said he desired to set matters right
on the spot and show conclusively that
there was duty on wood pulp. Mr. Naegle
drew from his pocket a little slip of paper
He explained he had yesterday called at
the local custom house, and from the COL
lector of the port had ascertained that
there was tariff on wood pulp. He had
made note of the rates.
Mr.. Laning read from what he said was
the free list of the existing tariff law,
showing that wood pulp was I'm reality on
the free list. The debate on the question
continued for some time and with much
heat The resolutions against trusts were
adopted-2H TO 64-with an amendment
urging Congress to take immediate action
against the paper trust.

PORTO RICANS DISCOURAGED.
Thinks Congress Is NeglectfuI in Not
Giving Them n Government at Once.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. Feb. "a
The people of Porto Rico are showing some
signs of encouragement at the failure of
Congress to provide government for the
island.
The local Spanish papers have printed
many articles criticising the American gov
eminent and American people and policy.
At recent citizens meeting, at Ponce 1t
was suggested that the same policy to be
applied to the Philippines be also applied
to Porto Rico. A paper published in Cayey.
a few weeks ago. in an editorial on the
proposed annexation of small towns TO
larger ones for economic reasons, said IL
was not in favor OF the plan. nor was it in
favor "even of annexation TO the United
States"
The army and navy officers gave a ball
here on the evening OF Washingtons
birthday, issuing invitations TO many Porto
Ricans. The editor of Ell Diario stated, in
his paper that he could not accept. He said
he did not feel that he could attend Ameri-
can celebrations nor observe American
holidays until the American people chose
to recognize the people of Porto Rico by
giving them government and thus lifting
them from the commercial mire into which
they have sunk.
The Porto Ricans apparently favor the
Foraker bill and express no objection to It.
excepting the tariff clause. A revenue tax
in lieu OF duties would relieve the planters
and at the same time support the local
government. The merchants declare their
willingness to accept such a proposition
To use the words OF local paper, liter
ally translated from the Spanish: THE
Americans keep giving many promises
mere words. words, words. What we want
are deeds, deeds. deeds. We shall never be-
lieve a word of the many things prom
ised US until we see them worked out in
reality"

party in power In Canada. the latest in
stance Of which is In his cable to the Aus
tralian governments asking II they could
raise $500 troops AS published here. the
report said: I'm the event OF the imperial
troops being needed elsewhere" and sew
eral papers interpreted this TO mean that
the government feared European hostility
But, 1t is learned that Mr.. Chamberlain
merely asked for troops, neither mention
ing nor contemplating any such contin-
gency as conveyed by the enormously re-
ported addition 10 the request. 1t was orig
inally intended that these troops should
come from Canada, perhaps augmented by
many Britishers from the United States,
who, by letters 10 consuls. the War Office
and others, had volunteered, and with
these form a body OF five thousand rough
General Sir Frederick Darlington. How
ever, swayed by the differences in the Ca
madam Parliament and the reported disin-
clination of the Canadian premier, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier. to come out boldly in
favor of sending more troops, Mr.. Cham
berlain has left Canada out in the cold and
has asked Australia to furnish the men.
Another curious view which seems TO be
taken by the Colonial Office and the writer's
of the press in close touch with that de-
partment, is that, since Canada has split
blood for the cause of Great Britain.
Canada's various contentious with the
United States must be considered as trans
cendental-in other words, to halo the war
heroism in behalf of the empire. The con-
siderations which formerly Influenced Lord
Salisbury in dealing with Canadian-Amer-
lean matters must now be sacrificed. 1t is
needless to say that such an idea has not
been suggested to nor considered by the
American ambassador.
Regarding the Nicaraguan canal, no
diplomatic communications have passed be-
tween Washington and London. and the
matter stands just where ii was when
Great Britain consented to the modification
of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. The British
government has not considered any meas
ures to be taken should Congress reject or
modify the Hay-Pauncefote convention,
such conditions governing Great Brit
aims official attitude toward the United
States as they exist to-day.

CRIME IN IRELAND.


O'Brien breaches Against Landlord
Ism and a Murder Follows.
LONDON, March 3.-The recent murder
Of a land agent and magistrate, named
Bird, at Bantry. though falling to attract
general interest, is held by the better In
formed to indicate a serious condition Of
Irish affairs. The Standard, commenting
on the affair, draws attention to the fact
that William O'Brien. only few days be-
fore the murder, inaugurated at Bantry a
branch of the United Irish League, urging
his audience to "get rid of landlordism,"
and referring enthusiastically to the ex-
ample of the Beers, who took down their
guns"
The Standard denies the insinuation that
Mr.. O'Brien or the league actually insti-
gated the murder, but 1t compares the oc-
currence to the course of the old Land
League, whose footsteps Mr.. Gladstone de-
clared were 'dogged with crime" The
Standard urges Mr.. Gerald Balfour, the
chief secretary for Ireland. to reconsider
his refusal to put the United League under
the ban Of the crimes act, saying: Stern
er measures are now necessary. The senti-
ments of the Irish in Parliament do not
matter so much. What they say on the
hillside is of serious Importance" The
Morning Post takes similar view of the
situation.

THIEVERY in NEW YORK
CONTROLLER COLER SAYS TAMMANY
OFFICIALS ARE ROBBERS.
Bribery Is Rampant and Stealing
from the City Has Been Legalized
A Severe Arraignment.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Controller Coler
to-day attacked the Office of the corpora
ton counsel in a way that is likely to Gre
ate storm. He charges wholesale rob-
berry, and does not hesitate to say that
bribery is rampant among the city office
holders who. he AYERS seem to hAve made
the trade of theft respectable, and there
by avoid the fate of the late William NJ.

Robbery of the city of New York is
now perfectly legalized," he began. 81 pre-
pared and sent to Albany bill that would
save the city from wholesale theta bill
providing that the persons selling supplies
to the city departments shall not charge
more than the market prices. The officer of
the city whose duty 1t is to defend suits
went to Albany to defend a bill providing
that those selling goods to the city would
not have to prove that they were over
charging for them. My bill would stop
legalized robbery. When / have held up
bills and claims because the prices charged
were above the market price, the corpora
ton counsel confessed judgment. on the
ground that the city had no defense, as
fraud had not been proved. When my bill
to stop legalized robbery is introduced the
corporation counsel hurries to Albany to
defeat it.
1.-THE city has been robbed outrageously
in the purchase of supplies There is a
concerted movement on the part of certain
departments to prevent the finance de-
partment from protecting the city treas
ury. In some cases large reductions were
made on bills because they were fraudu-
lent, and the prices charged were more
than double the market value, yet If these
cases had been taken to court the corpora
ton counsel would not defend them be-
cause fraud had not been shown. l must
prove fraud there is no defense. To
prove fraud and actual bribery is difficult
matter. / cannot go into dark rooms and
see the money passed. In one case safes
were purchased by the city for $500. The
mayor of Mount Vernon advertised for bids
for the same kind of safes and got them
for 1901. In another case carpets were
bought at auction for $125 yard, that
could be bought for IS cents. Tweed did not
know how TO steal in a respectable man.
ner and went to Jail in consequence. Legal
lied robbery of the city is now respect
able. Things are worse than in Tweed 5
time. Thousands of persons are subsidized
by the city through the purchase of sup
plies in lots that cost less than $1,000 The
patronage taken away by the civil service
is distributed in that way.
MY bill would stop all this robbery and
bribery, and theft, but the corpora tion
counsel, in his official capacity, goes to
Albany and uses his influence to defeat the
bill. The people can judge for themselves -
