business men to close their places of

ANTITRUST LEAGUE
Good Progress Made on the First
 Day

Chicago, February 12-Tonight at the close of the first days proceedings of the antitrust conference. called by the Nation al Antitrust League, good progress has been made with the set speeches, of which a dozen or more were delivered. The reso- lutons committee was busy this afternoon and tonight, while the main body of the delegates were listening to the speeches at Central Music hall. A set of resolutions was formulated by the committee covering the following points:
 Government ownership of all railways and telegraph lines; the abolition of all special privileges by legislative enactment placing on the free list of all trust goods, and direct Legislation by petition from the people.
 The discussion in committee was carried on on these lines. An amendment was of- fered for the taxation of all franchises, but was voted down on the ground that such action would simply legalize special priyi- leges.

BRIDGES IN DANGER
Chattahoochee Continues to Rise-Some
 Damage at Columbus

Columbus, Gu- February 12.-The Chatta- hcochee river is twenty feet above normal condition, and at midnight is rising five or six inches an hour Water is within a few feet of the wagon bridges, and fears are entertained for their safety. Three steam- CTS at the wharf are to be carried behind a bend of the river to avoid the bridge tim bers if they are swept away. The cotton mills here operated by water power had to shut down today. Some damage was done att the new dam of the Columbus Power company, timbers being swept away, and large derrick being snapped. Goods in warehouses near the river will be moved on to higher ground if the rise continues.

EVANS DISCUSSES
 SOUTHERN VOTERS
Says in Mississippi and South Carolina Elections Are
 Now a Science.

Roston. Mass, February 12.-The princi-
 nal feature of the celebra ton of Lincoln's .birtlhday ihere was the banquet of the Mid dlesex club at the Hotel Brunswick tonight.
 Congressman Francis w. Cushman of Washington was first introduced. He made A tdtter attack on Senator Hoar and Ed ward Atkinson and euiogized Lincoln. Con- gressman Julius Kahn of San Francisco also spoke and was followed by Pension Commissioner Henry Clay Evans.
 MT. Evans said:
 .sIt has been suggested that should say something of the south and elections in the south. No doubt you have been much interested in the Kentucky situa tion. Abraham Lincoln believed that the union of the states could not endure half slave and alalf free and so expressed himself most forcubly in his public utterances sev- era1 years before the civN war same on I am fearful that t1lds union cannot long submit to the strained relations that exist by reason of the determined and persistent usurpation of official power in some of our states by the minority, and especially the minority of the minority party. shall not endeavor to predict as to time or results. Good government cannot be maintained by a minority or by those who represent St.
 It has been alleged that the colored brother is dangerous element to good government in the south, and yet only re- gently I noticed that the coored brother is not permitted to leave the south because his emigration to the west, where he had been invited, was endangerlng the produc- tive capacity of the cotton fields In Geor- gia. I'm Gadt, the press dispatches announced only recently that acquaintance of mine. generally known as ''Peg-Leg'' Williams, a railway agent was imprisoned in south ern Georgia to prevent his being mobbed by the planters because he was shipping too many of the negroes that raise cotton to Arkansas and Texas. In Kentucky 1t is alleged that the colored brother voted largely for Taylor for governor. Therefore, Taylors election should be declared yoid -- In Mississippi and South Carolina the col- ored man does not seem to vote. In fact, if the returns are correct, there are not many who care much about the elective franchise in these states. Elections there are purely scientific, the whole problem has been reduced to a mathematical science, and looking at 1t from that stand point science elections are mere economical ques- tions that 1t is the burden upon the tax payers has been greatly reduced.
 MT. Evans compared the vote for con- gressman in each district of California, Minnesota, Mississippi and South Carolina to show that in the north it took 5l259O voters to elect fourteen men to congress, while in the south it took only 5S,279 to elect the same number.

OPPOSE RESTRICTED SUFFRAGE
Cuban Republicans Send Protest to
 General Wood

Havana, February 12.-The provincial council of the republican party in the pro. vince of Santa Clara has formally pro- tested against a restricted suffrage and has
 forwarded to Governor-General Wood petition dn favor of universal suffrage in Cuba. A majority of the members of the Santa Clara municipality appended their signatures to the protest, and the munich pality will vote upon the question at it's next regular meeting.
 It is worthy of note that the provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas are just now doing a good deal in the way of protests of this nature. General Wood has received number of complaints from influential Gu oan property owners, mayors and other persons of position representing that a man named Drake, said to come from Chicago, is apparently doing considerable mischief Tl.is individual, 1t is said goes about hold ing private meetings at winch he abuses the government and does all n his power 10 prevent amity between the Americans and Cubans. It is also asserted that he ahas the backing of linen of the highest official standing"
 While the governor general does not think it necessary to take action with ref erence to Drake, he deprecates such con- duct as Is imputed to him. pointing out that in modern times traitor to his coun- try can do much more damage than ne could of old, owing to the benefcent forms of government existing in most civilized nations.
 Americas duty to Cuba" says General Wood, is to be performed not on a nar- row partisan basis but upon the broadest and .purest principles of Americanism. When men of intelligence and ability de- vote their time and energy for their own advancement or in furtherance of the schemes of others, to promote the ends of wicked agitation they commit crimes not punishable by law, but nevertheless crimes. It is assured by high crime to attempt to persuade a people naturally sensitive that everything which has been done for them is wrong, or has been done with ul- terior objects in view"
