/ Social corre spondcnce ~ TIM AEcrsa
Washington, Aug. 9, 1900. Mr..
McKinley has come to Washington
again, not to do anything in con
nec,ion with the desperate situation
of Americans in China-our min
lister was alive at last accounts, but
he and other Americans were in the
greatest danger, and a number of
Americans were known TO have
been butchered-but rather to see
that nothing is done that might
bring the situation To. climax
before the election While making
all sorts of professions about what
1t is doing and what it is going TO
do, the real policy of the admins
tration is to keep this whole Chinese
business hanging until the campaign
is over. That is why Secretary
Hay and other members Of the
Cabinet have been on the most
chummy terms with the Chinese
Minister at Washington, while the
Chinese Ministers to every European
government have been treated by
those governments as in disgrace
and as representing government
which is responsible for the
butchery OF foreigners in China.
If Mr.. Mckinley and his advisers
can think up something 10 do that
Will serve as Republican campaign
thunder it will be done otherwise
not.

he gave these 81 believe that the
imperial policy of the present adj

people than any other important
position assumed by any party for
many years past, and the evident
intention of the administration TO

The Anti-Imperial League, of
Washington, sent a rather warm
open letter to Senator Hoar, from
which the following is taken: "In
your public utterances you have
most solemnly declared that this
policy OF the President, if pursued
will be the abandonment of princi-
pies upon which our government is
founded that it will change our
Republic into an Empire that our
methods of legislation, of diplomacy.
of administration must hereafter be
those which belong to Empires and
not those which belong to Repub
lies. Nevertheless, with full
knowledge of these consequences.
you now have faced about and de
clare your intention to support the
man who gives us notice that if
elected he will continue his atrocious
policy. To-day, in your apos,asy,
you announce yourself upon the
side of those who would betray our
country from within"

by Mckinley. The Democrats
have a good fighting chance OF

GAYNOR HEARING.
Continued Before United States Com
missioner Shields

New York, Oct 1.-THE hearing in
the proceedings to secure the removal of
John F.. W. T. and E. H. Gaynor and
BENJAMIN D. Greene to the jurisdiction
of the United States court in Georgia on
a charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government, was continued before Uni
ted States Commissioner Shields today.
The cross examination of John ~
Barnes United States marshal of t
southern district of Georgia, was cOntin
ued by counsel for the defendant who
asked as to the possession by witness of
the Jury box and the key from which
the grand jury was drawn November p,
1899. Witness said as marshal he re-
tanned possession of the key and the box
was in charge of the clerk of the court
where the jury was drawn.
The object of the question was to
show that the jury was Illegally chosen.
The witness in reply to a direct ques-
ton said he had never given up the key
of the jury box to the commissioner of
Jurors or the clerk of the court.
The next witness, Lemon NJ. Erwin,
deputy clerk of the United States dis
trict court at Macon, testified that he
received the jury box from Savannah
and from which the grand jury was
drawn, by express on or about Novem-
Der 90 1899, a day or two before the
grand jury which found the indictment
was impanelled-
Witness said there had been no exami-
nation of the contents of the box after
it had been received by him.

QUAY APPEALS FOR AID.
Asks Mckinley to Help Him Out In
Pennsylvania Campaign.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Former Senator
Quay Of Pennsylvania today made a
personal appeal to the president for help
to enable him to carry the legislature
of the keystone state for the Republi-
cans Since his appointment by the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to a seat in the
senate was turned down last winter,
through the efforts of Mark Hanna, the
Pennsylvania boss has been bitter in
his denunciation of Mr.. McKinleys man.
ager and on the outs with the admins
tration- It is therefore certain that
Quay would not appeal to the president
for aid unless he thought the legislature
of Pennsylvania was in grave danger
of being carried by the Democrats, as
sisted by the anti-Quay forces
Boss Quay has been on the stump in
Pennsylvania for the past two weeks.
People who have been with him say that
he has met with a frost everywhere he
has spoken and that he has openly ad-
mitted that his trip has not been sue
cessfu1. Mr.. Quay asserts that the op-
position in his own party is responsible
for this condition of affairs and his call
on the president today was for the pur-
pose of appealing to the chief executive
to interfere in the fight and to call off
the dogs of war. It is reported that Mr..
Mckinley listened with great attention
to Quays statements, but firmly declin-
ed to mix up in the fight.

HAVE FUN WITH HANNA.
Dakota Farmers Jolly the Re-
publican Chairman.

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE meet
ing at Aberdeen developed some lively
questioning between Senator Hanna and
people in the crowd which had as
sembled to hear the Republican leaders.
The speaking was done from a stand
erected in front of the grain palace.
Senator Frye spoke briefly, taking i'm
perialism as his main subject, and ridi-
culing the issue, asking the people of
South Dakota. some Of whom had lost
sons in the Philippines, if they feared
such thing. Senator Hanna was then
introduced.
Hello, Markl'' yelled the crowd.
Mr. Hanna then proceeded to discuss
the tariff.
What about the trusts?'' asked some
one in the crowd We want to know
about the trusts
Well, my friend. if you will tell me
what a trust is, I'll answer your ques-
tion,' said Mr. Hanna No reply came
We'll, II you don't know. I'll tell you"
continued Mr.. Hanna "A trust under
the law and what is known as a. trust
in commerce is where the stock of a
corporation is put into the hands of a
trustee, carrying with it the voting
power. Every single organization of
that kind that ever had its existence in
the United States has been wiped out
through the action of the Sherman law,
and that law was put upon the statute
books of the United States by a Repub-
Hcan congress"
Mr.. Hanna then proceeded with his
speech. but a moment later was again
interrupted by a question regarding the
Cleveland ship builders association.
Say, senator, that man thinks the
world is fat; don't pay any attention to
him. yelled a farmer.
''Al right" said Mr.. Hanna with a
laugh, but ] would like to stay here
all day and discuss this thing. But I
want to tell you that the --LATEST of all
fairness will be the Democratic party
next month"
Cheers for Pettigrew mingled with the
cheers for Mckinley and Hanna that
were given as the speaker concluded.
The party was then driven to the train

vote outnumbers the city vote by two to

Hoosier state has alternated between

the agriculturist vote as arbiter of the

FACTS ABOUT TRUsTs-x

IFrom the n. Y. Wor1d1
It is with shout of joy that the Ma
Hional Steel company. of Youngstown,
O.. announces that it has sent out
train of forty cars loaded with 1000 tons
of steel rails destined for New Zealand.
What a stirring spectacle, And what
a deep and fervid joy the incident must
have wrought in the hearts of the rail-
road managers who are forced to buy
American steel railsl
The shipment of this 1000 tons of
Youngstown rails to New Zealand
proves that American rails can compete
a price with English rails. Why then
Is the tariff tax of s7.S4 a ton main
sained? In order that the powerful COM
bination known as the steel-rail pool
may be enabled to make an abnormal
profit on its product
Steel rails can be manufactured in
this country for $3.50 a ton Adding to
this the tariff tax. $7S4, we have $25. "a
as the price which may be charged if
English rails cannot be landed for less
than the cost Of domestic rails plus the
duty AS a matter of fact the pool is
charging $40 in the domestic market and
IS getting what price it can for rails for
export. The LOCO tons which left
Youngstown may have cost the New
Zealanders anywhere from SIS to "a less
shan the list price for rails for domestic
use.
As 1000 tons of rails can be sold at
profit in this country for $4,000. every
sale of such an amount at the list price
of $4,000 is a gift made by the tariff
law to the steel-rail makers of Ss,0o0
taken from the railroads.
The rails that go to New Zealand and
other foreign countries are evidence of
the fact that protection is not needed
by the steel-ran industry. Incidentally
1t is also evidence that its wealth is
larEely due to the tarif.

standpoint Of purely practical politics
the warning to the Republican mana
gers from these figures is that no reli
ance is to be placed upon the majorities
which Mckinley obtained four years
ago. Excessive and unusual as these
maiorities were, they can be-experience
proves that they have been-swept aside
without apparent reason. They are not
infalIible guides. But beyond all this
the results OF the elections during the
past 20 years demonstrate the existence
of feeling OF strange unrest among the
people. Harrison's defeat in 1892 has
never been accounted for on logical
grounds It was the result of an mex
pIcable desire for change. Swayed by
causes which the political philosopher
has not yet fathomed and which certain
~ no one has attempted to explain. the
pendulum of public sentiment swings
backward and forward. There is no sat
isfactory reason offered today why the
administration of President Mckinley
should be rebuked. It has been marked
by a wonderful degree of prosperity; it
has been glorified by victories on land
and sea; it has seen the territory Of the
nation expanded in every direction. And
yet. viewed in the light of past elections,
no one can confidently assert today that
the people win render verdict of APP
prevail. Unquestionably this would seem
to be the outcome of the campaign, but
equally true is it that the restlessness of
the American people has not entirely
disappeared. If the desire for a change
which has been so emphatically mani
tested in the past is still uppermost in
the American mind, the 9Th of next No
Vember viii be an eventful day.

JOE PAZEN SHOT.
Zorah Card Shoots Proprietor of a
Theatrical Exchange.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Joe Pazen, proprie-
tor of the Pazen Theatrical exchange,
was shot in the abdomen today by Zorah
Card, an actress. Pazen was taken
ton.
The shooting occurred III Pazen's Office
in the presence of two or three persons
Pazen ran into an adjoining office, hold
ing his stomach and calling for a doctor.
Shortly after this the Gard woman
came in twirling the smoking revolver
in her fingers. Pazen asked why she did
not get away while she had a chance.
why should I?' she replied. Il shot
you in self-defense"
She then gave herself up to the police.
The two are thought to have quar-
relied over some theatrical engagement
