AGAINST THE MEASURE.

Minority of the House Committee Reports
on the Antitrust Amendments.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The minority
reports on the antitrust constitutional
amendment and antitrust bill have
been filed by the six Democratic MEM
bers of the house committee. Their re-
port against the proposed amendment
severely arraigns the majority Of the
judiciary committee, alleging that the
proposed remedy against trusts was
formed for party and political consider.
alton and not with real purposes Of
dealing with the trust subjects. It de-
clares the minority were not deemed
useful in helping to frame the trust
amendment and bill and the measure
was treated really as though they were
political undertakings. Taking up the.
trust question the report severely crit.
cises the federal officials for their al
legged negligence in enforcing the laws
now on the statute books and winds up
as follows:
sour conclusion is that if the exist
ing laws were enforced much would be
done toward lessening the trust evil,
but those whose duty it is to enforce
these laws will not perform that duty"

Rumor That Kruger Made Overtures for
Peace Unfounded.
LONDON, May 22.-The Associated
Press is able to say that no message
from President Kruger, direct or indi-
rect, has recently been received by Lord
Salisbury, or by any department of the
British government, nor, it may be
added, is any communication from him
dealing with the question Of the cessa-
ton of hostilities expected by them in
the immediate future. The proximity
of peace, according to the government
point of view, will remain matter Of
military progress. How soon the latter
may bring about the former is still too
suppositious for serious forecast on the
part of any government official.
The concensus Of opinion as cleaned
by the Associated Press at the govern
ment Office is that the >Boer delegates
will exhaust every effort in the United
States before President Kruger sues di-
rectly, though Lord Salisbury himself
does not believe that the delegates will
accomplish much in America.

In 1850 there were II 900 tons of steel
made in the whole world. In 1885 the

Within the last year an ancient grave

In it was found the skeleton of q woman

mated that not 20 per cent Of the pOpula-

There is no national holiday, not even

GUS times appointed special holidays,
The Fifty-third Congress passed al act
making Labor day a public holiday in the
District of Columbia, and it has recog-
nized the existence of certain days as holt
days for commercial purposes, but with
the exception named there is no general
statute on the subject. The proclamation
of the president designating a day of
Thanksgiving only makes it legal hOli
day in those states which provide by law
for it.
