as the present administration is in
power,n he said with emphasis. The
bill passed by the house last year that
aimed at the growth of trusts was
nothing more nor less than cam
paign dodge intended to influence
votes, and it probably served its pur-
pose. That bill is now as dead as the
proverbial door nail. If came to the
senate and was almost Immediately
referred to the Judiciary committee.
of which am q member. The demo-
cratic members, together with those
OF us who favored il. tried in every
way in their power to get the bill be-
fore the senate. We wanted to report
it adversely or favorably or to send it
out without any recommendations
but the republican members refused
to entertain the idea, and as they
were a majority of the committee the
bill was suppressed. Nothing has yet
been advanced in sthe way of an anti
trust bill that is really worth the
name" continue the senator The
bill fathered by Congressman Bah
cock does not even approach solu-
tion of the question. and / consider it
the polite move of scheming poll
tician of the new school. 1t is in
tended for constituency and not for
passage. Like the bill of last year. it
will die natural death and there will
be no mourners.
The Cuban situation is decided
lly unpleasant. The administration
brought the present tangled situation
upon itself. We made demands on
Cuba that never should have been
made before the island had an indie
pendent government and was enjoy
ing all the fruits of independence.
Such concessions as coaling stations
that this government demanded
should be made before the constitu-
ton adopted by the Cuban assembly
was sanctioned by the United States.
1t could then have been secured with
out any trouble or friction through
diplomatic representation after the
constitution had been passed. Such
demands have no excuse for existence
at the present time, and if trouble
comes out of it we will have been the
aggressors. The Philippine situa-
ton also is in pretty condition. The
worse and worse every day. De-
spite the claims made by the admin
istration that the trouble in the is
lands is nearly over, there is every
reascn TO believe it is growing more
desperate. Less than six months ago
Gen. Macarthur reported that condi-
tions were rapidly becoming more
vexed aad announced that 10000
troops would be needed for some time
to keep the islands in subsection. We
are sending more troops continually
and this does not harmonic with the
claims of the government. The adj
verse reports from Gen. Macarthur
and the members of the Philippine
commission do not find their way into
the newspapers, but they are on file
at Washington. On the contrary re-
ports of favorable nature are en-
bellished and sent broadcast. We are
rapidly drifting into a position with
regard to the Philippines where an
amicable settlement of a serious ques-
ton will be impossible"

NO HOPE FOR FoUR YEARs.

Senator Teller. of Colorado, was
interviewed in Chicago yesterday on
the general prospects under the pres
emit administration. Just so long as
the present national administration is
in power, and there is republican
majority in the upper and lower
houses of congress. there will be no
relief for the people from the power
of the trusts, said the senator.
bills framed and presented by re-
publican members of congress for the
curtailment of trust privileges serve
the purpose for which they are in
tended. and that is to quiet the peo-
pie. The bills themselves are polite
ally dead nearly as soon as they are
born" The senator says he has
become so Disguised with the tenden-
cies OF the percent administrations
that he left his seat. that for nearly q
quarter of q century has been on the
repu blican side OF the senate, and
went over to the democratic side of
the house.

SOME of the volunteers from the
Philippines are on the way home. And
all of them who failed to reenlist will
probably be at home or on the way in
this direction by July 1, the date at
which their enlistment expires. The
job of transferring 10000 TO so, 200
soldiers from the Philippines to this
country in the next few months, and
of transporting as many from here
there, will be a big task, but it will be
accomplished. World power has its
penalties as well as its advantages,
you know.

A WASHINGTON dispatch saws it ha.

AWAsHINGToN dispatch says it has
been found necessary to arrange
for overtime work on the part of the
employees at the bureau of engraving
and printing solely to keep pace with
the enormously increasing demand
for postage stamps. The establish
ment Of rural mail routes, coupled
with the great commercial prosperity
of the country, has created demand
for postage stamps far in excess of
the postoffice department, and it will
be necessary to work nights at the
bureau of engraving and printing for
some time to come to prevent posi-
tive postage stamp famine.
