Favor Destroying the Trusts.

"COmbinations, trusts and mo
nopOlies contrived and arranged
for the purpose of controlling the
prices and quantity of articles
supplied to the public are UNJUST,
unlawful and oppressive. Not
only do tho" unlawful conspira
cies fix the plices of commodities
in many cases, but they invade
every branch of the state and ma

influence actually imperils society
and the liberty Of the citizen. We
declare against them. We de

their destruction and the most
severe maintainers and the ener
getic enforcement Of such laws

was accepted by him as confirma
tory of his dispatch yesterday.
Minister WI said there was not
the slightest doubt as the date
being the 9th, although London
cables suggested that the 9th re-
ferred to the Chinese calendar
and meant the 5th by the Eng
lish calendar. On the contrary,
the dispatch received by him
mentioned the 18th as the date,
which by the Chinese calendar,
corresponds with the 9th of our
calandar.
Washington, July 1S.-There

HOPE REVIVED BY LATE
DISPATCHES.
Buoyant Feeling Strengthened
by Yesterdays News.

yesterday az to Chinese situation
was strengthened today by the
addition of confrmatory dis
patch from Consul Fowler at Che
foo, announcing safety of the
legations at Pekin on July 9.
Of course it is understood that
Mr.. Fowler's information came
from the same fountain head as
did Minister Wu's of Yesterday,
namely, the famous Yuan Shih
Kai, the military governor of Shan
Tung province. Because of the
very intimate relations that have
existed up to very recent date
between this official and the i'm
perial court at Pekin, he having
been commander of the imperial
body guard, there is a disposition
here to attach more credence TO
his dispatches than would be
accorded TO those Of other Chi
nese officials. This is based on
the presumption that he has no
document to falsiCy the facts.
Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai has cabIed for a war.
ship. His suggestion was merely
precautionary and after consider
ing it, the navy department has
withheld action in view of the
fact that the Castine is at that
port and foreign ships are OH the
way.
There was no cabinet meeting
this morning as the advices which
reached the government over
night did not present change
enough in the situation to de
mand meeting at this time.
CoNGER's SUCCESSOR, IF CoNGER Is
Washington, July 18.-One of
the first callers at the State de-
partment today was w. W. Rock
hill, director. of the bureau of
American republics, whose name
has been mentioned with those of
x.Minister John Barrett and Col.
DENLY as among the possible
successors of Minister Conger as
the United States representative
in China in case the latter is
dead. After his interview with
the secretary Of state, which last
ed All hour. Mr.. Rockhill said
he had not had the subject of
Chinese mission Of any sort sug-
gested to him, and that he had
no expectation of returning to
the orient.
Mr.. Rockhill is one of the four
officials who still retains a ray of
hope that some Of the members
of the legations in Pekin may
have escaped. His hope for some
of the tugitives is based on his
knowledge of the relations exist
ing for the past 90 years between
Sir Robert Hart, the British Gus
toms officer and some of the most
powerful officials in Pekin. Som
of these officials owe all they
have and are to the friendship OF
Sir Robert, and it is withi1 the
limits of possibility that they
may have been able to secrete at
last some of the foreign party
where they can weather the
storm until relief reaches Pekin.
MINISTER WI MUCH ENCOURAGED.
Washington July 18.-,The Chi.
nese minister called on Secretary
Hay this morning and had ten
minutes talk with him. Mr.. Wu
said he had received no addition.
