IusTIDE BREWER on TRUSTS.

In an address delivered at New
Haven, Justice Brewer Of the United
States Supreme court, speaking oi
trusts said; "I0u cannot stay this
movement toward consolidation and
Capitalization. 1t Is Il natural evolu-
tion" Justice Brewer added that the
legislation against trusts will not stop
the movement and he llkened such
attempts to Dame Partington's effort
to stop the Atlantic with mop.
Justice Brewer asked, us this CEN
tUlizati0n tendency antag0nlstlc or
healthful to the republlcY' Is It con-
slStent with popular government"
Then the justice answered himself:
APPARENTLY II is antag0nistlc against
republican thought Of equality of
right, each man ruler and equally
sharing the responsibilities and pow
err Of government. " Justice Brew
er's remedy Is, as he stated 1t "Ap-
peal must be taken to the great court
Of public opinion whose DEGREES are
irresistible.
In that court each man is counsel
and each man Is Judge. That court
may not stay the movement, but will
control II, 1t can make the move
ment with all the wonderful things
attending 1t subserye the higher
thought, ennobling the individual. :"
What does Mr.. Justice Brewer mean
by "controling," it? There is only
one way to control it without "stay-
ing" 1t, That is by recognizing the
principle as Il saving one and then
so distribute the management of the
institutions as to bring them within
the jurisdiction Of republican ideas Of
equality and to distribute the profits
among the people. This Is socialism,
Is that what Mr., Brewer hints at?
Can II be that the great Amcn-
can people have 4 socialist ON the
Supreme bench? Well they need not
get frightened If they have. 1t would
be better for them II they had more
like Brewer.

The United States postoffice here now refuses ex- cept to government employees to issue money orders i'll exchange for Mexican silver The banks of Manila have been making from 6 to s per cent on ex- change. Merchants and others are forced to carry their accounts in Mexi- can silver
 The commercial community had re lied upon the United States Philippine commission to continue the situation of two Mexican dollars for one gold dol lar, which the commission itself creat- ed. The commission unfortunately is unable to act in the matter without the authority of congress. This authoriZa- ton has been requested. Charles A.

A HOME LAID WASTE.
Mother and Four Children Perish in
 Flames.

ALTOONA, Pa. Dec. 2.-Five per- sons, a mother and her four children, have been burned to death at GWinn Station, on the Wopsononock railroad, three miles north of this city. The husband escaped with severe injuries. The dead are Mrs. Mary C. Burk, for ty-two years old: Adam G. Burk, six teen; Mary F. Burk. thirteen; Joanna Burk, eleven, and Joseph Victor Burk, eight Carl W Burk, the husband, is seriously burned about the back.
 Mrs Burk and the children, save Adam, retired at the usual hour at night Mr. Burk, who was ill Altoona, did not get home until late. The lamp was burning in the kitchen for him. Before he went up stairs he turned it low X lunch was left on the kitchen table for Adam, who is a stage hand at the Altoona Opera House. It is not known what time Adam came home.
 About 1:30 o'clock Mrs. Burk was awakened by dense smoke i'll her room. She awoke her husband He dressed hurriedly and hastened down stairs. Opening the kitchen door. he found the room was ablaze. The draft caused by the open door accelerated the fire, and with roar the flames swept through the house.
 Burk's clothing was ignited, and he sprang outside and rolled in the snow to extinguish the tiny tongues of fire. He then summoned the assistance of neighbors. There was no hope of say ing the house when they arrived, and to rescue the inmates was impossible. Every time the men tried to enter the intense heat drove them back. Burk, i'll mad frenzy, tried to rush through the flames, but was prevented
 Meantime the agonizing screams of the inmates could be heard For one brief second Mrs. Burk appeared at an upstairs window Tn her arms she carried a child. Then the flames arose about her. and she sank back and was seen no more. Burk was sent away to q hospital about this time crazed with grief
 The house, which was a two story frame structure, was soon consumed, and the search of the ruins was com menced. As there was nothing left but the foundation stones the bodies charred and blackened, were speedily recovered. One corpse could not be distinguished from the other. They were brought to a morgue in this city.

Dec 2.-The Noues Wein- CT Tageblatt, quoted bG the Vienna correspondent of the London Times and the New York Times, says that, according to private intelligence re ceived by it from The Hague, the opening of confidential pourparler5 with view to the conclusion of peace is seriously expected in Boer circles.
 London. Dec 2.-Thomas Peterson Goudie, the bookkeeper of the Bank or Liverpool who disappeared at the time of the discovery that the bank had been robbed of about G11O0OO. was captured to-day at Bootle, near Liver pool. where he had been ill hiding.

Dick Burge. the pugilist, and r. T. Kelly, the book maker, of Bradford. were remanded this morning after q partial hearing of the evidence against them.
 Charles Matthews. counsel for tho yictimiZed bank, in presenting the case against the prisoners, gave the first authentic details of the frauds. He explained that there had been v checks forged. The first two affected Goudie. The next 12, representing in value e25, 300, would be mainly traced to Kelly. Another seven checks, ag- gregating G53,000, would be first traced to Burge and afterwards to Kei- ly and another person not yet before the court Six other checks, valued at G91,000. would be traced, firstly to Laurie Marks, who paid them into his bank accounts. But some of the pro- ceeds were also traceable to Burgc. The whole amount had been drawn out of the Bank of Liverpool by checks drawn on the account of +. w. Hud- son.
 Evidence was then presented to show that Laurie Marks opened an ac- count with the Credit Lyonnaise at the pllu ~Ul ISJJ.
