This Tramp is Not so Slow.

In Idaho a unique suit for damages
has been filled by tramp against the
Oregon Short line, says the Phlladel'
phia Ree0rd The hobo recites that
he was stealing ride, being located
on the brake rods underneath the car;
that he sustained the injuries received
owing entirely to the tact that servants
of the corporation knew he was there
without right and did not put him off,
as was their duty, and that through
their gross negligence he sustained
the injuries for which he claims dam
ages. Owing to the peculiar claim
the attorteys OF the road are deeply
interested in the case.

An amusing feature of the debate
in the House on the Porto Rico tariff
bill was the rather broad hint of
Representative Bromwell, of Ohio,

to Mr.. Mckinley to let the members

He said it was the solemn duty of Mr..
Mckinley to notify Congress if he had
changed his mind on this question.

A man on the hotel veranda, a little
distance away, waved his hat and shouted,
"Hurrah for Bryan" Il gather" said the
governor smiling that gentleman is not
a member of the prohibitionist party
The governor in conclusion said: 1.-The
end of this republic will be pretty nearly
in view if ever we begin to divide along
the lines of class hatred and class jeal-
oUsies.
THAT is true, that is true" came from
his auditors.
AT Livona a five-minute stop was made.
The governor compared the right of suf-
frage of the black men in Porto Rico and
North Carolina. and said in conclusion:
AT the coming election in Porto Rico

of that island is registered and can vote.

Takes Up Trust Question.
GENESEO, n. Y, October 30.-At Avon
the governor devoted himself mainly to the
trust question in the brief address he made
He said:
Using the word trusts as meaning big
corporations and big combines of capital
undoubtedly there are very serious and real
evils connected with the growth of those
great corporations, but there are good
points also Remember that doing away
with the big corporations instead of re-
moving the evils contained in and incident
to them would mean widespread disaster in
many cases. Take this railroad here You
take away this railroad from this village
and it would leave the village pretty we'll
stranded. Nobody here would want the
railroad to be taken away. If there is any
abuse connected with any corpora ton rem
edy that. but dc not destroy what there is
good in it,
By cutting out Mount Morris as one of the
stops of the day, extra time was given at
Geneseo, the train remaining here for fifty
minutes. The governor was taken from the
train by squad of rough riders to the
steps of the court house, from which he
made a speech.

DENIED BY SENATOR SCOTT.
Allegation That He Praised Trusts a,
Roosevelt Dinner.

Senator N. B. Scott of West Virginia. who
as a member of the national committee OF
the republican party has charge of the
party headquarters in New York city, yes
terday telegraphed his private secretary
here, Mr.. John L. Steele, emphatic de-
nial of the published report that he had
made a speech at the Roosevelt dinner Fri
day night favoring trusts. The telegram Is
as follows:
"All reports that 1 at the Roosevelt din.
ner or at any other place or at any other
time ever said I was in favor of trusts, or
that said one single word derogatory to
the colored man, are absolutely and un-
qualifiedly false
Subsequently Mr.. Steele received letter
from Senator Scott. in which he says:
Il have just telegraphed you denying en-
phatically the report they have circulated
on me in regard to speech 1 am alleged
to have made at the Roosevelt dinner
There were no speeches made and nothing
said which could be converted into the re-
port sent out. So you can deny every word
of it. There was not speech made by
anybody. The only possible thing the re-
porter had to build on was my saying to
Mr.. Bliss that the development of oil in
West Virginia had been great blessing to
our little farmers"

COTTON RAISING IN ASIA.
Thirty Per Cent Increase In the Rus
sian PrOyinces

slah PROVINCES.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 3O.-Official
reports show that the area under cotton
cultivation in Russian central Asia has in
creased 80 per cent this year The crop is
estimated at 100000 pood, or half the
Russian requirement, whereas previously
only 100000 pood had been procured from
Russian possessions. This result is at
tributed to the increased raw cotton import
duty introduced last winter. The situation
in the cotton Industries is improving.
The wholesale prices of petroleum and Pc
troleum shares have fallen sharply recently
The Novoe Vremya attributes this to a
campaign OF the syndicates, who wish to
discourage any possible competitor from
bidding for the petroleum fields recently
discovered in Transcaspia.
There will be an exposition of heating sys-
TENS here this winter and an electro-tech-
mic exposition will be held in Moscow in
January.
