Judge I. D. Foster has fined
those guilty of carrying concealed
weapons, twenty-five dollars at
this term of court, bat lye has gi-
ven them a serious warning never
to come before him again for this
offense. The Judge is right, there
is too much of this cowsrdly prac-
tice. Why should a man be con-
stantly loaded with a heavy revolt
yer that constantly endangers some
body's life on the least provoca-
ton. This reprehensible habit
has been the cause of much trou-
BILE to those who carried the pis-
tolls, of much sorrow to the fami-
lies of the victims of the deadly
weapons, and considerable expen-
SEES to the parish. Judge DeBail-
Ion, of Lafayette has fined the
concealed weapon violators $50
and we believe he was right, and
when Judge Foster reaches this
amount in his fines, fon this Of
tense, he will surely rid the pa
IRISH of this dangerous and repre-
hensible habit.

BENEFITS OF COMBINES.
The Industrial Commission al Washington
Enlightened on This Subject.

Elverton II. Chapman, who has been
engaged In financing industrial COM
binatiOns. testified before the Indus
trial commission at Washington, ID. c..
regarding the organization of the
Plttsburg Coal Company, which had
absorbed 40 other concerns In the
pittsburg district. Before the consol-
idation, he said. these companies were
selling coal at less than cost price.
True. prices are higher but the ad-
vance Is compensated for by stable
prices and assured supply.
Since the consolidation the company
lad spent S3.OOO.00O in the purchase
of coal lands. The net earnings for
last year were between Si.0OO.OOO and
S5.00O.0OO. There Is. he said, no
community of interest between the
coal company and the railroad COM
panies. His company preferred or
ganized to unorganizcd labor, and he
expressed the opinion that self-preser-
walton would prevent any industrial
combination from putting up the price
of its product so high as to invite com
petition. He believed that combina-
tions of this character must have fhc
effect of reducing selling prices.

INDEMNITY PROBLEM.
Commissioner RockhiII instructed to Oppose
Anything Over $500, 900. .0oo-Russla
Counted Upon 10 Back This Position.

\ new issue I'm the Chinese matter
has been defined. The United States
has definitely decided that China can
not pay indemnities aggregating more
than S2O0,UOO.OOO. Instructions We're
cabled to Special Commissioner Rock
hill directing him TO object strenuously
to demands for n sum greater than
that, and to make the utmost endcavor
to have the total kept down TO half
the maximum before stated.
Although Russia has not yet taken
any action, 1t Is understood here that
proposal that the United States and
Russia shall fix n maximum has been
under discussion between Washington
and 81. Petersburg so long that there
is n likelihood of concurrent and idcntl-
cal action by them. If they take sim
ilar measures II will be because their
chief motives are similar.
The American claims aggregate S2J,.
OO0,000, but the government Is willing
to cut this down to- as low as $4,000. 900
If the other Powers will make proper
tionate reductions In their pecuniary
demands. Mr.. Rockhill has been in
formed of this view of the authorities
here and directed to devote his efforts
in that direction.
The advlces from Mr.. Rockhill show
that some of the small European ma
tions whose interests In China suffered
very little by the Boxer" trouble have
made claims for indemnity out of all
proportion to the injury inflicted on
their subjects. The United States will
object to these claims on the ground
that they are exhorbitant.
Germany's claims aggregate more
than S50,000.000. The exact figures are
not disclosed. but 1t Is admitted that
they are between the amount named
and S10O.0OO.000. 1t has been general

WORSE THAN SElGs OF PARIS.
Labor Troubles In France Cost Big Loss Of
Lie and Money.

The object lessons furnished by the
strikes which, since the close OF the
Exposition, have been so general
throughout France. are beginning to
take effect. Calculations have been
made showing that the Calais strike
caused loss of life and $1.000,O00 to
local industry, besides S2,000.OOO in
workmens' wages. The Marseilles
strikes. which are not yet ended, al
though 20 per cent. of the strikers have
resumed work, have dealt such ter
rible blow to the prosperity Of Mar
seilles that the city can scarcely hope
ever TO recover Its lost position.
The loss to trade at Marseilles is es-
timated at SS,000,00O each week dur
ing strike; sales in retail business
diminished 60 per cent. There are in
dications on all sides from French un
dertakings, and shopkeepers in Paris

KING EDWARD WANTS PEACE.
He Is Willing to Let soers Have Liberal
Terms

King Edward is for peace in South
Africa. and he has let his ministers
know 1t. He wants the Beers to have
liberal terms, provided they will lay
down their arms. He Is willing, 1t Is
said, even to grant them self-govern-
ment; that is, to raise them TO the
same position as Cape Colony.
The king has impressed this on his
cabinet and 1t is likely that Lord
Kitchener. whose views are much in
sympathy with those of the king. will
find II way of conveying King Ed
wards wishes TO the Beers in the field.
The later are far from conquered. The
English speak of them as guerillas.
but the truth is that the Beers are
masters of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State outside of few
gnrrisoned places, and that they have
never been without an established
government, having local capitol.
