The Democratic theory that trusts are
in some way attributable TO the protect
i've tariff has received q severe blow
from an official report just received by
the State Department from Consul
Frank w. Mahin in Australia, who says
that there is marked tendency in that
country towards formation of trusts, that
hat-makers, paper factories sugar manu-
facturers, shoe manufacturers, makers OF
knit goods, ETC., are combining to reduce
expenses and that the great corporation
formed at Buda Pesth is acquiring pos
session of the gas plants through Hun
gary. These combinations are new,
having been formed in the past year,
but there are also numerous other old
er combinations, which have all the
characteristics of the American trusts
He adds. that 1T is worthy of note that
Austria Hungary has no protective tariff,
except on Il very few articles, such as
cigars and tobacco for instance, the

The new line of the Burlington rail-
road to Guernsey, Wyo., will make &C
cesslble to tourists some of the most his
toric spots of the West. Chief of these
is old Fort Laramie, around which ling
ers many al almost forgotten romance.
At one time the principal frontier post
west of the Missouri, cut off from civili-
zation by hundreds OF miles of trackless
prairie and continually surrounded by
hostile Indians, it was the haven of ref
uge sought by the weary and hard
pressed emigrant. Today it stands o
mute but mournful monument to the in:
domitable will and courage Of the old
frontiersmen whose rifles have marked
upon the pages of history the tales OF
many Western Leonidas. The parade
ground, upon which they assembled at
the sound of boots and saddles, is now
the playground Of county school, the
barracks are decayed and nouldering
heaps. The flagstaff alone remains, and
though no longer proudly bearing its
banner to guide the emigrant, still stands
like gaunt index fnger, pointing out to
the curious traveller this historic spot.
Passing on from this point the Burling-
ton will still traverse historic ground,
past the great hematite mining camp,
Hartyille, UP the beautiful canons ofthe
Platte and Laramie, and around the
base Of Laramie peak, whose snow-cap-
ped crown rises 5000 feet above all
surrounding mountains and rs Visible
for hundred miles in evory direction.

Kaolin and Marble.

Custer was visited this week by two
mining capitalists. Messrs. B. r. Noble,
of Detroit. Michigan, and Isaac Gibbard
of Rochester, New York. The gentle
men came out to look over the recent
discoveries made by w. r. Bond, F. NJ
Hughes and George Book northeast OF
this city FIVE miles. 1t will be remem
bered that these men discovered vein
of kaolin clay, accompanied with ledges
Of marble and onyx, and more recent
discovery was made of white and blue
marble near the clay find. Mr.. Noble
and Mr.. Gibbard will Investigate the
merits ofboth the kaolin clay and the
marble, and it is expected that should
the indications be as good as surface
showings warrant, a company will be
organized Immediately. Several analy
sis have been made on the clay and it
has been pronounced equal in every
way to the imported kaolin of Europe.
A shaft has been sunk on the property
about 25 feet, which is about ten feet
above the water level. The clay is very
pure, and some of the eastern m anufact-
uring companies, which have been buy
ing their clay from England, have stated
by letter to the owners that it is so free
from foreign substances, that it will
probably not be necessary to wash it, a
process which would add greatly to the
cost of preparing 1t for market. At q
depth of 25 feet, the vein has been found
to be l24 feet wide, between wall oi
slate on one side and marble on the
other. 1t is believed that it can be
mined and hauled to Custer for not to
exceed 81 per ton. Kaolin clay Is worth
about $l4 per ton to the pottery and
china manufacturing plants. Last year
there were imported from Europe some.
thing like $4,000 ton of the clay. The
marble is equal in quality to that i'm
ported from Italy.

LUXURIOUS WON'T
TAKE OUT LICENSE
Says, He Sells No Liquor
Collector Haywood and
Sheriff.

The statement that George Lycurgus is
selling liquor at the Union Grill, on King
street. is denied strongly by the proprie-
tor. He says that his customers are pro-
vided with intoxicants with their meals
but that these are ordered from Cunha's
place, and paid for by the customer. and
not by Lycurgus. The customer sends
out waiter for whatever liquor or wines
he desires, giving the money to the wait
er, or it is sent for by Lycurgus and the
money paid by him over the bar, the same
as it would if the customer himself went
to Cunha's place. Then Lycurgus puts it
in the bill.
High Sheriff Brown said yesterday that
the question has been raised as to why
he does not rad Lycurgus' restaurant
and thus compel the proprietor to pay a
police fine. The High Sheriff says it is
the Internal Revenue Collectors province
TO say that Lycurgus does sell liquor
rms, he says, will become a fact if In
ternal Revenue Collector Haywood de-
cloes that George Lycurgus must pay a
tax TO the Federal Government, which
amounts to S25 and holds good for twelve
months should this be done, then, and
then only, woull it be time for him to
act.
lie says that as far as his knowledge
goes, he has no evidence that George Ly-
curgus sells liquors, but does know that
liquors are bought over Cunha's bar and
then placed before the customer when
IT'S up to me- said the High Sheriff. ~
VIII know what to do. 1t is first in the
hands OF Mr.. Haywood. If he sees fit to
impose tax, all well and good"
George Lycurgus said he had not stated
that he would pay the internal revenue
tax, as he had been made to say in an
evening paper. He says he does not sell
liquor. If he paid such tax 1t would be
practical admission that he was doing
such a business, he says.

PREVENTING
NTAGION
All Leper Mail Is To Be
Inspected.
PRECAUTIONS PLANNED
POstOffice Agent Goes to MoIokai
Tonight to Initiate Arrange
ments.

When the Board of Health and in
vited guests leave for the Leper Settle
ment on Molokai tonight, NJ. II. Flint,
special postoffice agent. will be one of
the party. He goes to investigate the
mail facilities at Kalaupapa and to
make a report of the conditions there
to his department at Washington At
present about 400 letters per week are
received from the Leper Settlement at
the Honolulu office. Probably six hum
dred letters are forwarded each week
from the settlement to various parts
of the group.
The rules of health which obtain in
the postoffice department of the United
States will have to be extended to the
settlement, and radical changes will re-
suit if these rules are strictly enforced.
1t has been stated on the authority of
bacteriologist who has made study
of the contagious quality of ieprosy
that ordinary fumigation such as is
employed in destroying plague germs,
is not effective when used against the
microbes of leprosy
One authority has stated that when
leper seals a letter, countless mi
crobes are in the sputum and therefore
adhere to the paper. The United States
mail regulations do not allow such a
condition to exist if there is any method
/ by which 1t can be eradicated.
! There is a possibility that if there is
no other way out of the difficulty, the
/ United States viii have to employ q
/ postmaster at a certain salary whose
/ duties combined will be those of for
warding and receiving the mall and of
writing the letters of the leper patients,
or in other words to become the aman-
uensis of the entire settlement. As
sistants would necessarily have to be
employed if the work became too
heavy, and these would have to be non
leprous.
The mail must be handled entirely by
non-leprous officials, the letters writ
ten for the lepers by others not tainted
by the disease, and the stamps be plac-
ed on the letters by the postmaster or
his assistants. Under the Hawaiian
law the lepers' mail went unstamped
but no such arrangement Is probable
under the United States regulations.
The conditions existing at the settle
ment are probably the most peculiar
. which the Postal department has to
, encounter within the boundaries of the
United States, and special arrange
ments will probably be made for the
! handling of the mails there.

Washington, July 19.-There is no
change in the presidents intention to
return to Canton Thursday night. He
will be in constant communication
with the members of the cabinet from
there by telephone and telegraph, and
unless something unforeseen occurs,
he does not consider it necessary to
remain in Washington. During the in
terim before his return he will have
ample opportunity 70 go over the Sit
uNtion in detail with the various cab
met officers. 1t may be that another
formal cabinet meeting will be held
Thursday.
Having decided that the situation
does not warrant the calling of on ex-
ira session at this time, and having
agreed on the number of troops and
marines which will be sent to reinforce
the international forces in China, the
position of the administration is de-
acribed by a prominent official as one
of waiting.
Authentic and reliable news of the
situation in Peliin is expected soon.
