He's Persuaded That the President Heard

LINCOLN, Neb. Dec. l?.-Mr. Bryan
INDUCES in to-morrow's Commorer in
caustic comment upon President Roose-

ton he says:
A perusal OF his ~utterances on the trust
question will convince any unpreiudlced
reader that the President has heard from the
trust magnates since he made his Minneapolis
speech. lie borrows the phraseoiogy OF

this country as at this time The inference
is natural that the trust evil il not really
serious. II Is doubtful whether any one
as badly scared as the President seems TO
be is in a proper frame OF mind to calmly
consider an effective antitrust law. He
gives the benefit Of the doubt 20 the cor
porations and nowhere expresses as much
solicitude for the rights OF the masses OF the
people "a he does for the interests oil the
great combinations OF capital. .

The Pennsyivania's Entry.

The momentous character OF the plans
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
formally announced yesterday, for the
construction of a tunnel under the North
and East rivers and through the rock
foundation of Manhattan Island, so as
to carry two railroad tracks from New
Jersey to Long Island through our W
city, needs no emphasis. The Penn
s~ylvania Railroad will thus be brought
into this city and connected with the
Long Island Railroad in Queens county.
The Long Island Railroad will be brought
into Manhattan, and the Pennsylvania
company will make a close connection
with the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad.
The project is not only one Of the
largest in a business ever under
taken by an American corporation;
it is the greatest step taken in recent
years toward the convenience and the
comfort Of the citizens OF this city
and, in fact, Of the entire Eastern part
of the country. The engineering work
required will, of course, be costly;
but it is practicable. and the credit Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is adequate for the undertaking. It
may be stated that the idea OF building
these tunnels is not a hastily sprung
affair. 1t has been close to the heart
of Mr.. CAssATT, the President Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for
fifteen years and has been made the
subject of a most careful and laborious
investigation during that time.
Two remarks concerning this great plan
may properly be offered at this time.
First, it is "A pity that the project as at
present constituted bears no relation
TO the terminal already located in
the city known as the Grand Central
Station. What our city needs and must
have in time is a union railway station.
The terminals proposed by the Penn
~sylvania Railroad under its present
plan are large, but they ought 10 be
made larger and 10 include the terminals
Of the Vanderbilt and New Haven sys-
tens. They could be made big enough
and high enough 30 that a great deal Of
space above the ground could he utilized
for office buildings and general rental
purposes. We earnestly commend this
matter TO the attention Of Mr. CASsATT
and to the managers Of the New York
Central system.
IL should be said right al the outset.

Not Cause and Effect.

We observe in the same number OF
our Far Eastern contemporary. the
Manad Freedom, the report Of the ar
rival in the Philippines Of MIR. FIsKE
WARREN OF Boston, Massachusetts,, and
the narrative of the murderous attack
by Sanar insurgents upon a detach-
ment of the Ninth regiment on the
Gandara River. costing our army ten
good American lives.
Mr.. FIsKE WARREN had a singular
experience for a travelling citizen Of
the United States. He was compelled
1t Manila to take an oath Of allegiance
TO his own Government. He was made
to swear that he would neither do nor
say anything. while in the Philippines,
tending to incite resistance to the author
ity and flag of the United States.
This unusual ceremony was per-
formed for two reasons In the first
place Mr.. FIsKE WARREN was believed
TO be a disciple Of the Boston school in
sympathy with the guerrillas who are
shooting down American soldiers when
ever and wherever they get a chance.
In the second place, he had come out to
the Philippines in company with SIxTo
LOPEZ as far as Hongkong, and at
Manila he became the guest Of that
a~gitator's brother MARIANA. Mr.. WAR
BES says that he visits the islands for
personal investigation Of existing con-
ditions, from both the American and the
Filipino point Of view.
Mr.. FIsKE WARRES's arrival and the
Candara massacre constituted a coin
cidence, not a case Of direct cause and
effect. The ten American soldiers had
already been assassinated by Mr.. WAR
hEs's little brown brothers at least
eighteen hours before he landed and
took the oath Of allegiance.

Tho American Understanding

Senator CULLoM adds his assurances
70 those OF Senator LODGE concerning
the import Of the new Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty. His view, like Mr.. LODGES, is
that our natural and necessary power
20 control the canal fully at times when
we are at war with any nation Is UNI
derstood by the terms Of the proposed
convention. .
II is upon this understanding, based
upon the avowed Interpretation OF the
'trssty's text by these two leading MEM
bers of the Committee on Foreign Re-
l~ations, one Of whom is practically the
State Departments representative and
manager in putting the treaty through
the Senate. that the convention will DO
ratified.
The Senators who vote for 1t will vote
Cor 1t because it clears the way for a
canal wholly under the control OF the
United States alike in peace and war;
70 borrow Mr.. RoosEvELT's impressive
definition Of the condition that seems
vital to him, no less from the stand
point OF our sea power than from the
standpoint Of the Monroe Doctrine.
Is it an improper or an unprecedented
thing to declare to Great ! ritain and the
world, in advance of ratification, the
American Interpretation OF the terms
Of the agreement into which we r
about to enter2
No, for in 1850, after the ratification
BY our Senate Of the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty, the British Government filed at
Washington an extraneous memoran-
DUN stating its understanding Of the
of that agreement. And upon that
of understanding, although it
was never accepted by us, the British
eve afterwards acted.

has not increased In any such degree
This condition Of affairs. however, did
not produce an immediate fall in the
price Of our copper-mining securities
The Amalgamated Copper Company
which holds q majority interest In
some Of the largest copper mines,
adopted the policy Of holding the
price" by methods which are now well
understood; and a very large number
Of shareholders in the Amalgamated
company believed that the power and
desire Of the rich men controlling the
company was great enough to accom-
plish this supposed purpose and to
maintain likewise in the stock market
the price of the A~malgamated COM
pany's shares. 1t is the same old story.
II is SO hard to believe that big profits
and large dividends may sometimes
disappear. The fiction is 80 alluring
that the insiders" in control Of great
speculative concerns will stick to them
10 the last, long after the more wary
"lambs" have departed, and that they
can and will hold the price" no matter
what befalls.
The great fall In the price Of copper
stock has ruined thousands of people
all oyer this country, and dealt a great
blow to confidence In the general secur-
ity Of the stock market. There is even
now the hope cherished by the holders
OF these copper shares, that the fall in
quotations has only been part Of a ire
mendous IDEAL" engineered by the
Amalgamated company's managers for
the purpose of obtaining control of the
Rio Unto mines in Spain, the Calumet
and Hecla's property in this country
and other great copper companies.
There are many reasons, appreciate
by those familiar with the copper trade
and with the character and history OF
the Rio Tinto and Calumet and Hecla
companies, which make the idea Of any
such control by the Amalgamated COM
pany as here stated impossible and
absurd. But even assuming that such
an event we're possible, the attempt by
any men or body of men to permanently
maintain at a high level the price Of
copper, or any other article in common
use against the natural forces Of de-
creased consumption the world over,
could only result in a failure whose
disaster would be justly proportional
t. the daring which invited it. In the
background OF all this Amalgamated
Copper business hovers the shade of
VI. SECRETAN.
The lesson Of the recent copper trouble
in our stock market is very plain. If
it imprints itself upon the hearts Of
the public, the dearness with which
it has been procured will be cheap after
all. 1t is simply the danger Of invest
ing in over-capitalized stock companies.
Lessened as have been the profits Of the
copper-mining industry, no extraordi-
nary fall in the shares of the Anal
gamated company would have occurred
if these shares had represented real
value instead of simple water,
