HURRAHING UNDER DIFF

This is not without general interest,
since the recent history of Kentucky

What is no less to the point, it is a
curious instance of the inability of
men to see in II dry light affairs in
which they are intimately engaged.
TO every Intelligent observer outside

as much "hurrah" in their State cam

Did anybody ever see the price of
anything in an open market advance
ten points each lick as sugar has done
in the past two months? But the price
is not to stop at six cents. Why should
1T? Seven cents per pound is the goal
set by the Trust. ana it will reach it
before the summer is over. Therefore,
if you are householder ana have the
surplus money, it is 10 to shot that
you save by buying what sugar YOU
will need for the next While. OF course
YOU will be robbed now; later you Will
be robbed and sand bagged into the
bargain.
Here is an actual case of what the
Sugar Trust does to the householder:
man OF ordinary family says he uses
10 pounds OF sugar per week. y year
ago lie paid five cents per pound for
ii. If sugar is forced TO seven cents
he will pay tribute to the Sugar Trust
of 20 cents a week, or of S1o.iO year
Men "kicli" on their taxes. yet this
head of an ordinary household is com
PEELED TO pay to the Sugar Trust tho
equivalent of city. and state taxes on
about $500 of property The whole
American people pay to this trust t,l-
butte. taxes or Legitimate profits of
about $2O0.0 600 per year.
But the Sugar Trust is not all The
head of the same household figures
that within The past year the trusts
of one sort or another have Increased
his necessary expenditures for ordf-
nary. vcry-day necessities 500 over
his expenditures for the preceding
year. This would be practically the
equivalent of city and State taxes on
$4,000 OF property. lie could borrow
$4,000 to increase the capital of his
business and pay the interest ON it
with what the trusts exact from him
every year.
Naturally any man who is taxed 500
Il year by concerns created and pro-
tected by law. and who is utterly pow
crless to help himself, feels that the
destruction of such concerns and the
abolition of the tax which they levy
upon him is legitimate and pressing
issue of politics. How, indeed are
you to keep question touching the
interests of every man, woman ana
child in the country out OF politics
when one party virtually takes one
side of the question and the other
party takes the other side?
Trusts are an issue. Any man who
will do a little figuring will reach that
conclusion.

They alone amount to about 80 million
dollars, while articles in a crude con-
dition which enter into the various pro-
cesses of domestic industry" amount to
over 800 million dollars.
Thus the manufacturers materials
imported during the year amount to
about 400 million dollars out of total
of $40 million dolalrs. In 1890 manu-
facturers' materials, including both
cIasses-articles in a crude condition
and articles wholly or partially manu-
featured for use in manufacturing
formed SO per cent of the imports; in
1895 they formed 81 per cent; in 1896,
81 per cent; in 1888, AZ per cent; in 1882
Al per cent, and in 1900. 46 per cent.
Taking raw materials alone, the group
classified as ARTICLES in a crude condl-
ton which enter into the various pro-
cesses of domestic industry" the per
cent which they formed of the total
importation was, in 1885, 2O.64 per cent;
in 1890. 1906 per cent; in 1895, 1854 per
cent; in 1896, "a. 81 per cent; in 1897, 26-OO
per cent; in 1898, 32.16 per cent; in 1882
81. 50 per cent, and in 1900, 3d. rs per cent
To put it in a single sentence, the i'm
ports of the year increased 152 million
dollars, of which increase two-thiros
was in manufacturers materials, and
the exports increased 1877 million dol
lars, of which increase one-half was
manufactured articles.

HOTEL THROOP AGREEMENT
Fusion Forces Will Probably Stand
by That Decision.

Fort Scott, Kan, July 23.-A vague I'M
certainty characterizes the probable ac-
lions of the Democratic, Populist and
Silver Republican conventions. scheduled
to meet here tomorrow. While there is
a strong influence working for the fulfill
ment of the agreement of the state COM
mittees, made months ago, as to dis
tribution of the offices in order to effect
fusion there is also an opposition of con-
siderable proportions to that arrange
ment This latter is caused by the can
didacy of a number of men where nomin-
alton must necessarily be in violation of
the agreement.
An open conference of Democrats and
PopulistS was held this morning, at which
a general feeling in favor of standing by
the agreement was displayed.
But Chairman Riddle, of the Populist
committee, insisted in suggesting that the
Democrats nominate ex-United States
Senator John Ma4tin their candidate
for associate just be. Martin is not a
Democrat and this office goes to the
Democrats nominate him an enthusiastic
fusion will be effected beyond doubt. If
they refuse the agreement may be broken
and in that case an entirely new deal will
have to be arranged.
The original agreement provided for the
following dispositions:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES justice, secretary
of state treasurer, one Judge of court of
visitation and solicitor of court OF vista
ton.
Populists-Governor, lieutenant COVER
nor, attorney general, state auditor, con-
gressman-at-large, superintendent OF pup
visitation.
Silver ACCOMPLISHMENTS superin-
tendent and one judge of court of vista
ton.
For governor, John w. Breidenthal, of
Topeka, is the most formidable candidate.
He has a. strong representation here.

MESSAGES FROM PEKIN
Believed to Be Genuine by German
Consul General Merling.

Detroit, Mich. July 23.-Baron Paul
Merling, German consul general to Pc
kni China, and an intimate friend of
the late German minister, Baron Won
Ketteler, passed through Detroit today
en- route to New York, when he will sail
Wednesday for home. Just before leav-
ing Pexin he had a long talk with Min
lister Conger, who, he said, was very
sure that the uprising would not amount
to much.
'I can not believe" said Baron Mer-
ling, that all the foreigners have been
massacred. 1 am quite certain that the
cipher message received by your gov
eminent from Pekin is genuine and was
written by Minister Conger. I have sew
eral reasons for believing so, but I can
not give my reasons, for my govern
ment would not like to have me talk
too much.
You can believe one thing, that is as
certain as the rising of the sun: The
armies of Europe will devastate north
eru China"

SEIZED COFFIN FOR DEBT.
Undertaker's Novel Means of Collect
ing a Debt.

Mantua, N. J., July 23.-The funeral
of Isaac Parks. an aged man who died
suddenly last week from exposure, was
interrupted by. the appearance of Con-
stable Dopson from Woodbury. who
held an attachment on the coffin and
household effects. The Judgment was
quickly satisfied by a friend of the fam
lily, and the funeral proceeded with.
When the officer arrived at the house
the funeral was well under way, and as
the corpse was about to be taken from
the dwelling to the hearse, the consta-
BILE informed the son of the deceased of
his errand. Undertaken Shreve of Glass
boro, who was in charge, objected
strongly to the proceedings, but the
officer would not allow the coffin TO be
removed until the judgment he held was
satisfied.
Six years ago Undertaken Conway of
Woodbury., buried Mr.. Parks wife. The
bill was not paid, according to Con-
ways statement, and justice of the
peace of that city issued a judgment
against Mr.. Parks. As there was not
sufficient above the value of the per-
sonal effects allowed by law to attach.

ed until the caslzet went into the house
and then presented his claim.

CORPSE TELLS The TALE.
Medical College Furnishes Startling
Evidence, Uncovering Insur-

Chicago, July 2s.-Chicago,s latest trust
covery has been made by the states at
torney's office, and will, 1t is said, be
vealed during the trial at the criminal
court of Michael n. Regent, Della Ma
honey, Margaret Sheehan, Nora o. Brten
and James O'Brien ON q charge of con-
spring to defraud the beneficiary order
of the Knights and Ladies of Security out
of 81 900 by taking dead bodies. Bitter
experience taught the medical college to
form combine the Demonstrators as
sociation, to gather all corpses on sale in
Chicago and to allot them among the
medical colleges.
1t is from this association that Regent
and his alleged pals are accused of hav-
ing secured under false pretenses the
body which it Is claimed, they paimed on
on the beneficiary order as the corpse or
Robert O'Grady, who is still alive. The
Demonstrators association, under tine
law, may sell it's wares to any undertaken
who wishes to buy a corpse for the pur-
pose of dissecting it for his own instruc-
ton.
In this case the Demonstrators associa-
ton is said to have been the dupe of Un-
dertaker o. Rrien. who is accused OF hay-
ing wanted the corpse of an old man with
bald head and white whiskers for his own
private use. Regent and the others are
accused of having put up JOB to get
their ha.ads into the treasury of tho or

PASSED TWO BILLION MARK.

The total foreign commerce of the
United States during the fiscal year
1900 exceeds by 16 2-3 that of any pre-
ceding year, being 800 million dollars
greater than that of 1899, the heaviest
one on record preceding the one which
has just ended The total commerce of
the year. as shown by the figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics, is 50 Pa
1913 54S. The exports are $$1, 394, 479, PA,
or 1853 million dollars in. excess of those
of 1898, which held the record of the
largest exports until the record of 1900
was made All of the great classes show
an increase in expectation; fisheries a
million dollars; mining and forestry,
nearly 10 million dollars each; agricul-
ture, nearly so million dollars, and man
ufactures nearly 100 million dollars over
the phenomenal year 1898.
Imports are also heavy. especially in
the class designated as articles in a
crude condition which enter into the
various processes OF domestic indus
try" OF the five great classes of i'm
ports, articles in a crude condition for
use in manufacturing show by far the
largest growth. Manufactures show
gain of about 20 million dollars over
last year; articles of voluntary use, lux
urieS, etc, also about 20 millions; arti-
cles of food, about 10 millions; articles
wholly or partially manufactured for
use in manufacturing, % million, and
articles in a crude condition which en-
ter into the various processes of domes-
tic industry, over 20 million dollars
The most notable features of the
years commerce are: First-the in
crease in imports of manufacturers ma
terials not produced at home; second
the increase in exports of manufactured
articles; and, third, the fact that the
foreign commerce for the first time in
the fiscal year record crossed the two
billion dollar line. Imports of manu-
facturers' materials form in fact nearly
one-half the total importations if we
consider as manufacturers materials
the class articles wholly or partially
manufactured for use as materials in
the manufactures and mechanic arts"

NOT TRUE, SAID DEWEY
Alleged Interview Between
Himself and Filipino Gener-
al Declared FalsehOOd.

Washington, July 23.-The letter re-
ceived by Senator Petdgrew from one
of Aguina1do'S generals, ]. 1lejandrino,
containing an alleged account of an in
terview between himself and Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympia in the bay
of Hong Kong, in April, 1898, in which
it is stated Admiral Dewey promised
independence to the Filipinos, was
shown to the admiral today by an As
ISOLATED Press reporter. The admiral
characterized 1t as a tissue of false
hood He declared it absurd on its
face.
Il not only had no power to promise
independence to the Filipinos," said he,
but the whole tenor of the words put
in my mouth stamps them as false. 1
am made to say the things which
never thought of and which l could
never had uttered. You will notice that
1 am addressed in the alleged interview
as admiral, when at the time I was
commodore?
The admiral said he had never heard
of Ilejandrino. Several Filipinos after
much importuning did come aboard the
Olympia at Hong Kong They were
anxious to be taken to Manila
Il consider their representations of
land I did not take them to Manila
Later I gave permission to Aguinaldo
and about a dozen others to come to
Manila All that they were anxious
tyranny of Spain against which they
had been fighting.
After the destruction of Montejo's
fleet, the city virtually surrendered and
1 am satisfied that if we had had 5000
troops there at that time We could have
gone ashore and been received by the
Filipinos as deliverers. They had abso-
lutte no thought then of independence
That was an after thought of their
leaders during the interim between the
smashing of the Spanish fleet and the
arrival of the United States troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba was
to be evacuated by the American
troops after the holding of the constitu-
tional convention Admiral Dewey he did
not seen how the United States could
turn over the islands to Cubans until a
state government had been establish
ed.
I'VE are responsible to the world for
the orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba
said he, land until such a government is
established I can not see how we can
withdraw. We are confronted with a
similar situation in the Philippines.
The world looks TO us and no matter
which political party wins in November
the United States can not relinquish
the islands until a responsible and sta
BILE government is set up there"

MAP OF THE WORLD
Will Soon Be Changed Through Chi
nese Troubles. Saws @Fighting Bob"

st. Louis, July 23.-Captain Robley D.
Evans, u. s. N. F'ighting Bob, who
has been taking baths at Hot Springs,
Ark, for two months, passed through
this city this forenoon en- route to
Washington. While at union station he
talked freely about the Chinese situa-
ton and among other things said:
In my estimation, the great powers
of the earth are facing the most critical
situation that has arisen in medern his
tory. To put it vigorously they are sit
ting on powder barrels, and an explo-
sion may come at any time. If it does
come, it will annihilate present national
boundaries and change the map of the
world SO that it will not be recognize
able.
Il do not believe in the talk that
China may become a world power of its
own force. 1t stands in immediate dan
ger of dismemberment, and the parti-
ton of the empire can only be prevented
by the United States. Isapprove of the
policy of the administration as now out
lined. This country can not afford to
stand by and see China divided up
among the European governments with
out making a protest that will shake
the world and announce to all the earth
that this nation must be supreme in the
east because it holds the Philippines"
