GENERALS CUBAN VIEWS.
1--WE conversed on a variety of sub
jects. / had just finished reading his
article on the Boer war and rallied him
by saying that when he should go
abroad the next time he would not be
an acceptable guest az the English
court. He answered with great quick
ness. I can go to see Kruger He talk
ed for a time about the Presbyterian
creed. He was, the chairman OF the
committee on revision. He took up the
Cuban question. His point on this was
that we had placed ourselves In a po-
sitIon before the world where our sim
cerity in dealing with Cuba could Just

his former statement that the moral
law bound the honor of the nations as
well as Of individuals.
Ills reference to the Philippines and
Porto Ricen matters expressed surprise
that the Supreme Court of the United
States had not yet handed down It's de
clsion.
TRUSTS.
Later the conversation turned on
trusts. He said he had very definite
ideas on the regulation of trusts. and
believed that the problem was one
which was fairly within the reach Of
legislation that would commend itself
to the common sense Of all good people.
He quoted at length from memory from
the articles OF Incorporation Of the
Steel trust. and expressed belief that
corporation should not be admitted
to do business in any State unless II
carried on It's principal business In the
state where II was organized, and un-
less II was a bona fide corporation OF
that State.
He remarked that many OF the great
trust combinations organized under the
laws OF New Jersey transacted no bust
ness In that State. and were not in
tended to transact any business there.

the thlngs that come TO my memory"
