NOT THINKING OF TRUSTS.
People of Ohio Too Busy to Take
Seriously, Saws MI Hildebrant.

Representative Charles Q. Hildebrant Of
Ohio takes the longest strides toward
committee Craftsmanship of any member of
the Fifty-eighth Congress. Mr.. Hildebrant
is a young man and is serving his first
term in the House. He was the fifth MEN,
Der of the committee op accounts before
the election this fall. Two of the members
who were ahead of him on the committee
Messrs. Joy of Missouri and Smith of Mich
igan-were not renominated. Chairman Bull
Of Rhode Island and Representative Loud
of California were defeated at the polls.
Representative Hildebrsnt was in the city
yesterday and says he isn't saying a word
about committee appointments. but is sim
ply wondering what will happen in the way
of the appointment of chairman to the
committee on accounts when Uncle joe
Cannon takes the Speakers chair. In the
natural course of events Mr. Hildebrant is
than getting the speakership question set
tied the organization Of the Fifty-eighth
Congress has not progressed.
Speaking OF the campaign, Mr.. Hildebrant
calls attention to the fact that Ohio fur
nished an exception to the rule pointed out
by Chairman Babcock after the election
that the cities Of the country showed a
tendency toward democracy on election
day. The Ohio cities according to Mr.. Hill
debrant, increased their republican vote in
nearly every instance, while the country
was true to the extent of between twenty
five and thirty thousand votes. Mr.. South
ards plurality was increased in Toledo.
while Mr.. Nevin in Dayton rolled up $500,
as against 153 two years ago and defeat
by 204 in the campaign preceding that.
The reason assigned by Mr. Hidebrant is
that while Ohio is Just as prosperous in
other respects as every other section of the
country, the price of living has not in
creased in the cities in proportion in that
state as elsewhere.
Il look for a somewhat lively session." re-
marked Mr.. Hildebrant in discussing the
coming meeting of Congress. while it is
impossible to predict what will be done,
there seems no doubt that the trust ques-
ton will come in for much talk at least.
Just the extent of the popular demand for
antitrust legislation Is hard to ascertain.
In my district l was unable to detect any
alarm on the part of the people on this
question. In fact, politics and political is
sues were almost the last thing thought of.
The people of Ohio, like the people of many
other states, are too busy working to take
politics seriously They just want the pres
ent prosperous conditions maintained and
without any doubt on their part they elect
ed another republican House to do It,"
Mr.. Hildebrant has gone to his home at
Wilmington, Ohio, to speak before a con-
vention of Elks, and will return to the cap
!tal just in time for the opening Of the ses-
sion.

THE KILLING OF FITZGERALD.
It is Understood That the Tragedy
Will Be Investigated.

1t is inferred here that the recent killing
of Fitzgerald in Guatemala City by God
frey Hunter, jr.. is to be investigated after
all by the local authorities. cablegram
has been received at the State Department
from United States Minister Hunter, father
of the young man who shot Fitzgerald,
asking permission for the appearance Of
Bailey, the secretary of the United States
legation, before the local courts to testify
as to the killing.
The department has replied. waving all
diplomatic immunities that would interfere
with the course of justice. The effect of
that direction, it is expected. will be to
put the local authorities in position to fix
the responsibility for the shooting and to
punish any person found to be guilty.

COMING NAVAL CHANGES.
Rodgers to Succeed Barker, Who Will
Relieve HigginSon.

Rear Admiral Rodgers, who arrived yes
terday at San Francisco from the Asiatic
station, will be given leave of absence
for several months before being assigned
to new duty. 1t Is probable that in the
spring he will be given command of the
New York navy yard. Rear Admiral Bar
ker, now in command of that yard, is to
relieve Rear Admiral Higginson as COM
mander of the North Atlantic squadron,
and Admiral Rodgers will probably take
his place. The cruiser New York, in which
Admiral Rodgers returned from China, will
be made flagship of the Pacific station, in
place of the battleshp Wisconsin, which
is to ioin the Asiatic squadron.

Expectation of Trouble in the Balkans
in the Spring.

CONSTANTINOPLE, November 26.-Six-
teen batteries Of quick-firing field guns,
numbering 90 guns in all, have been ordered
from the Krupp works as the commence
ment of the rearmament of the Turkish ar

to purchase 100000 small caliber Mausers,
to complete the present establishment.
With wagons and ammunition for the artfl-
lery the orders entail an outlay Of $500, :
600.
The purchases apparently were acceler-
ated because of the recent developments In
tn situation in Macedonia and the Balkans

tiers here that a serious outbreak, possibly
leading to widespread European complica-
tions, may be expected in the spring.

Pardon Gases Acted On.
The President has granted two restora-
tions to citizenship and has acted favorably
on three other cases, as follows:
He has pardoned William J. Barnes, con-
victed in Alaska Of the larceny Of puppy
alleged to be valued at SO, and sentenced to
Imprisonment for year in jail at Sitka.
This application was forwarded by Gov.
Brady of Alaska, who recommends par
don on the ground that there has been a
gross miscarriage of justice in this case.
The Attorney General and President con-
Cured in this view of the case.
Michele Ciervo was sentenced in New
York city to Imprisonment for ten years
for counterfeiting. The President has COM
muted his sentence to expire July l, 190o
which takes about two years off his term
of Imprisonment. This communication is
granted to Ciervo in consideration of very
valuable information voluntarily given to
the secret service officials by this prisoner
which resulted In breaking up bad gang
of counterfeiters and capturing a number
of sets of molds.
He has commuted to five years the ten
years sentence of Walter Pollen, convicted
in the Indian territory of forging small
check and sentenced to Imprisonment for
ten years in the United States penitentiary
at Fort Leayenworth. The Attorney Cen
eral recommended this communication on the
ground that ten years sentence for
comparatively trivial offense such as this
is greatly excessive punishment
