opoly Of different branches OF manufao-
ture are similar to the sugar combina-
ton, and are not within the jurisdic-
ton of the Federal courts II amen
able to any law, they are amenable to
the laws of the respective States.
1t is popular error 10 assert that the
Attorney General of the United States
has control of the corporations or COM.
binations which engage in manufacture
in thetvariouS States. This is entirely
a matter of State control and unless
the functions of interstate eommerce
are interfered with | would be super
ofiicions TO attempt crusade against
affairs with which have no business.
With reference to these large COM
binationS Of capital which are now
forming, my own Judgment is that the
danger is not so much to the commun-
ity at large as il is to the people who
are induced to put their money into
the purchase OF The stock"
This man, who says that the Federal
laws can do nothing with the trusts,
that il would oe 'superofflcious" on his
part to enter upon crusade in mat
ter that is none of his business, and
that the persons chiefly deserving OF
sympathy in connection with trusts are
not the people at large, but the trust
stockholders, is still President McKin-
ley's Attorney General. His attitude
gives an absolute assurance that II Mr..
Mckinley should be reelected the trusts
would have nothing to fear from the
national administration in the next
four years.

Simmons says he is gathering ALL

showing violation OF the civil service

that Federal officials since the incep-

~; In spite Of the alarm with which the
Chinese officials. including Lii Hung
Chang, profess to view the advance OF
tne allied forces on Pekin so far, as
IL aHectS the safety of the foreign min
listers, 1t may be said that none of the
Powers have evinced any tendency to
apate their preparations or to accept
an escort of imperial troops for the
ministers from Pekn to Tien Tsin.
rms Government has acted all the
WINE on the theory that the ministers
were awe, and has accepted in good
Iaith the assurances of the Chinese
government TO this effect; but it has
liot recognized in anyway the sugges-
ton contained in Shengs cablegram of
Yesterday that the Chinese Govern
meht should furnish the foreigners an
escort out OF Pckin. 1t was said at
the state Department to-day that the
american minister is not to be deliver
cd up by force of Chinese troops to
