In my last annual message to the con-
gress called attention to the necessity for
early action to remedy such evils as might
be found to exist in &C injection with com
bnations of capital organized into trusts
and again invite attention to my discussion
of the subject at that time which conclud-
ed with these words:
ut is apparent that uniformity of legis-
lation upon this subject in the several
states is much to lie desired. Ii Is to be
hoped that such uniformity founded in a
wise and just discrimination between what
is injurious and what is useful AID recess
sary in business operations, may be OBJ
tanned. and that means may be found for
the congress. within the limitations of its
constitutional power, so to supple ne mt an
effective code of state legislation as to
make a complies system Of laws through

hotels IN SIBERIA.


lHTom the Hotel World.
AT Vladivostok We were told there
were no hotels in Khabarovk There
were none. There are two public houses
called hotels, and to one of these, a two
story log house. the London, we ac-
eompanied our pleasant Russian travel
ing companions. There are fifteen rooms
in the London. Mr.. Martzinkovich took
two for his family, we took one, and
the landlord took US all in. To get any
room was luck. Every day people were
turned away with their loads of bones
and bundles. What became of them
is an unsOlVed mystery. The disap-
pointed men froWned and said hard
things, and the women, ever patient and
passive, calmly accepted the situation.
We who were housed consoled ourselves
with our window views of the disap-
pointment. We had no other cOnsola-
ton. Our accommodations were vile.
At two rubles day we had the use of
a room by II feet, containing a look
ing glass, 3 by 5 inches, nailed on the
wall, too low for standing use; a small
metal pitcher and basin. the former
never filled except by special request,
a single iron bedstead, the worn out
springs of which had been replaced
with boards; three shaky chairs, and
common wooden table The bed had
single straw mattress and q dingy
red blanket, and the floor and table
We're covered with dirty and dilapidated

by an elopement with another mans
wife. Not with my wife, muttered
Max, as he looked at his watch. There
was 10 minutes to get to the steamer in.
He boarded a car, and was soon at the
steamboat wharf, and just in time to
jump aboard IS the steamer cast off.
Max consulted the purser's book and
found Testers name signed under his
wife's. He soon saw his wife but didn't
discover Lester, and after a remark to
that effect his wife said she had seen
him leave the steamer before she sailed.
When the Campagnia, tied up to the
wharf in England Max Immediately
bought a paper to see how the market
was, and was shocked to find that the
firm of which he was a member had as
signed. The paper read: 1.-The broker

planned attack by a clique of brokers
on a popular stock which their firm
was known to be heavily supplied with,

Max Window was bankrupt, and a
cablegram he received at the hotel
didn't cheer him up any, for it said:

AS TREE SEES IT.
The Chicago Jurist Returns From
Europe With Views.

Chicago, March 22.-Lambert Tree re-
turned to Chicago last evening after a
five months absence in Europe Most
of that time he spent in England. where
his interest in foreign affairs gained
during his residence as American min
lister at Brussels and at St. Petersburg
under Cleveland, caused him to devote
much attention to the varied phases of
the Boer war.
I am inclined to believe" said Mr.
Tree, that England will impose no
very severe conditions on the Beers in
the terms of peace. There does not seem
to be any real feeling of bitterness
against the Beers in England, and re-
Venge will not be one of the motives to
animate England in the settlement
England will undoubtedly insist on
a full Acknowledgement of her suzerain-
ty and on a more liberal extension of
the franchise and better representation
for Outlanders so that they can have
something to say in the taxing power.
Furthermore, she will insist on the right
to have English taught especially in
those schools where a majority of the
children are of English parentage.'
That these terms will be accepted by
the Beers and that they will settle down
quietly again after the war is over, Mr..
Tree feels assured, as well of the fact
that the end of hostilities is not far off.
THE general impression in London
when / left there he said, was that
the relief of Kimberley and I4adysmith
and the surrender of Cronje was the
beginning of the end, and that piece is
near. I have met many persons from
South Africa, and all of them think that
when the war is over the Beers will be
through for good, and they will not
break UP into guerrilla bands. Their
next point will be to obtain by
BILE. and above all that their govern
mentS will not be overthrOWn.'
