A CALAMITY conclave.


When the recent trust conference was
held in Chicago under the auspices Of
thu Civic Federation an attempt was
made to divert 1t from It's origina; pur-
pose, which was educational and non
partisan. Calamity howlers and pro-
fessional retailers Of imaginary griev-
ances were barred from that confer

not improved 1t has not been aggra-

WINGED that combinations have their

The proposition already set forth, that a
small tax should be levied upon the net

Trust Legislation.

There is little doubt but what trusts
and large combinations Of capital will
receive come attention at the present
session Of Congress, and some measure
recognizing the necessity OF federal
regulation will be formulated in com-
mlttee looking to that end. The chair
man of the house judiciary committee
has expressed himself as DESTROYS Of a
thorough Investigation Of the subject
in all It's constitutional bearings, and
for this purpose he has referred the
numerous trust bills introduced In
Congress to subcommittee composed
of some Of the ablest lawyers in the
house for examination.
Chairman Ray, Of New York, is
quoted rs believing that constitutional
amendment may be required to give the
federal government complete power in
the matter. He does not propose to re-
port any bill until after thorough dis
cussion in committee. II a constitu-
tiunal amendment is recommended 1t
viii probably follow the lines OF the
one which gives Congress full power to
legislnte for the restriction OF oomb!ua-
tons and the granting OF federal fran
chlses to corporations whose products
are the subject OF Interstate commerce.
Consultation among tine Republican
leaders in both houses and with the
President VIII probably occur before
amy bill is reported. but no action will
be taken until the industrial commits
sion have submitted their report on
trusts, II this is soon received by Con-
gross.
The work of this commission will
have mn important bearing on any trust
legislation that may be proposed. The
Washington correspondent OF the Jour

That intermInnhla blGtherslIite and
yIndic.ive Wilder Senator Pettigrew,
received 4 severe castigaton in the sem
ute wednesday, from his colleagues,
who could 10 longer contain their pent.
up wrath. This political Ishmaelite has
been laying up for himself ever since
the aeuaLe' convened Just such a
trouDcine as he got froia Senators
Hawley, Sewell and others. This venal
Dakotan attempted to get into the Con
gresslonal Record a statement from
AEulnaldo, giving his version Of his
dealings with Admiral Dewey. HIS pur-
pose, Of course. was plain. II he sue
ceeded in smuggling it into the Record
1t would have been used as a campaign
document by the anti-impertallstic
league, ana would have been sent

The worst feature was that the state
nents made by the Filipino rebel were
untrue. Senator Lodge reading letter
from Admiral Dewey to that effect But
that didn't feaze Pettigrew. By his ac-
ton he as much as said that he prefer
red to believe Aguinaldo.
Z Senator Hawley perhaps best stated
the situation with regard to Pettigrew,
when he said: ~ object to the state
ment because 1t is treason. 1t is lend
ing aid and comfort to an enemy Of the
United States and that It what the sem
ator tPettlgrew) has been doing for
months. The senator from South Da-
kota does not, like fair-mlnded man.
propose to publish with the Agutnaldo
statement the letter Of Admiral Dewey,
because that would stamp Aguinaldo as
a liar. as we know the senator's friend
to be an embezzler and thorough
going scoundrel. He stands here, and
Agulnaldo doubtless considers him his
particular friend and viii take good
care to publish his remarks among his
so-called constituents and his troops,
and yet the senator from South Dakota
passes as friend Of this country"

Major James j. Peterson, at Manila,
he mentions having met Captain How
ard Atkinson. Major Peterson visited
Captain Atkinson in camp. and the
captain returned the visit by spending
the afternoon, with Major Jefferson. He
had not seen Colonel Casteel, but had
met Captain Gaujot. Of Williamson, w.
Va, and Lieutenant Collett. Of West
Virginia. The letter was written
Thursday morning, December IL, 1899,
and the major says: These men are
on the line around Manila, doing OUT
post duty. They cannot get into the
city often, and cannot get out with
out great deal Of trouble"
