Presbyterian Contributions Not Keeping
Pace With the Needs.
ST. LOUIS, May 21.-At the third
days session of the Hath general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church OF
the United States, the most interesting
reports considered were those on relief
for disabled ministers and the widows
and orphans of deceased ministers and
of the methods of appointment of stand
ing committees Of the assembly, other
wise known as "the Peoria overture"
The report on ministerial relief showed
that the contributions of the church
had neither kept pace with the advance
of the church, nor with the advance of
the roll of annuitants and that the
churches should very largely increase
their annual contributions to the board.
twenty-five thousand dollars additional
in contributions for this year was called
for to that which was paid last year, to
make the appropriations that will be
required by the various presbyteries.

Immense Audience at the Demonstration
for the ENJOYS in Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-An audience
remarkable for its size, sympathy and
enthusiasm greeted the Boer ENJOYS at
the reception given in their honor at
the Grand Opera House under the aus
pices of congressional and citizens COM
mittees. Long before the time for the
meeting to open the house was crowded
to suffocation and many were turned
away unable to gain admittance. The
interior was appropriately decorated
with the national tri-colors Of both the
United States and the Transvaal.
While officially Washington was not
represented in any manner, there were
probably 80 members of the senate and
the house occupying seats in the audi
forum and on the stage. Speaker Hen
derson was in one of the boxes.

TO MAKE A FINAL APPEAL

International Peace Committee Would
End the South African War.
BERNE, Switzerland, May 21.-The
committee of the international peace
bureau has decided to make final ap-
peal to the % powers who are signers
of the conventions adopted by The
Hague peace conference, in favor of the
restoration of peace in South Africa.
The commission calls attention to the
clause of the convention for the peace
full settlement of international conflicts
by the terms of which the signatory
powers agreed to use all efforts for the
settlement not only of difficulties
among themselves, but of all interna-
honal disputes. Consequently, the
commission declares, an offer of media
ton cannot be considered by Great
Britain as an unfriendly act.

Gives Congress Power to Reg
ulate, Prohibit or Dissolve
MonopolieS.
THE LAWMAKERS DUTY
Should Propose and Submit tc
the People a Remedy for
Combinations.
Report Argues Against Placing
Trust Made Goods on the
Free List.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-The house
judiciary committee has agreed to and
reported to the house the following Ar
ticle XVI Of the constitution:
Section 1. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories, the District of
Columbia and all territory under the
sovereignty and subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to
define, regulate, control, prohibit or
dissolve trusts, monopolies or combina-
tons, whether existing in the form of
corporation or otherwise. The several
states may continue to exercise such
power in any manner not in conflict
with the laws of the United States.
Sec. 3. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions of this article by
appropriate legislation.
The majority report favoring the con.
stitutional amendment says in part:
Duty of the Lawmaking Power.
''In our Judgment it is the plain duty
of those entrusted with the lawmaking
power to propose and submit to the peo-
pie of the states such remedy as will
enable congress to restrain and, if need
be, repress absolutely all illegal and
dangerous combinations which restrain
trade or destroy competition, or which
may unjustly harrass or Cypress labor.
- sit is, to be expected that the. broad
and comprehensive proposition embod-
led in this joint resolution will meet
strong opposition and be subjected to
some bitter denunciation. But aggre-
gated capital, if honest in its purposes,
not only will not oppose but will APP
prove and sustain proposition that is
designed to restrain only where wrong
is being done and that compels submis-
sion to the government of just and an
intelligent people.
Open Field for Competition.
Congress should have power to
maintain an open field for honest COM
petition in all industrial enterprises
throughout the entire Union.
"When corporation or business asso-
citation becomes monopoly or when
any combination or corporations or men
associated under any form or name for
illegal or improper purposes becomes a
menace to the welfare of the people
throughout the Union congress ought
to possess the power to control and re-
press it. This is the purpose and scope
of the proposed amendment.
The report argues in extenso against
the proposed remedy of placing trust
made goods on the free list, which
remedy, it is asserted, would be worse
than the disease in striking down pro-
lection in an experimental effort to de-
stroy monopoly or repress a COM
bination. -
