DECISION IN SPANISH
TREATY CLAIMS CASE
Government Demurrers Are
Overruled.
Commission Decides That No Legal
State of War Existed in Cuba
Prior to Intervention.

The decision rendered by the Spanish
Treaty Claims Commission, just prior to
its adjournment yesterday for summer
recess, overruling the demurrers of the
Government against the claims of
American citizens for damages for the
destruction of property in Cuba during
the insurrection prior to the Spanish
war, is far-reaching, and is by far the
most important made by the Commission
during its recent session.
SI6,ooo,o 900 Involved.
OF the 400 cases submitted to the Com
mission the following were selected as
test cases. and in these the demurrers
were overruled: Andres L. Terry Dor
ticos, Andres L. Terry Dorticus, and
Francis E. Webb, executors; Francis
(. Webb, executor of the estate OF An
tonic E. Terry; the Mapos Sugar Com
pany, Alice f. Shoenberger, executrix:
Maria W. p. Randle. executrix. and
William p. Morgan.
In its decision the Commission lays
down the general principle that where
proper averment Is made alleging Amer
lean citizenship and neutrality of the
NldllNdHk anu lllt dD4llNl anu dulJ vi lllt
Spanish authorities TO protect property.
the claims should be admitted for proof.
The Commission also decided that no
legal state OF war existed in Cuba dur
ing the insurrection prior to the Spanish
war.
Claims aggregatlng about $4,000, 900
are involved in this decision.
Demurrers Sustained.
In the following cases the first demur-
rer was sustained. but the claimants
were given leave to amend their petit
tions within ninety days: Teresa Joerg.

The Commission has not decided ques
tions of claims arising out OF the al
legged destruction of property by the
Spaniards. nor those arising for personal
damages, or growing out of the recon-
centrado orderG Of the Spanish authori-
ties.

Anthracite Man Approves.

Anthracite Man Approves.
To the very apparent surprise OF the
delegates, Delegate De Sylvia, Of the
anthracite field, approved the recon-
mendations of the address, thus indi-
eating that even the anthracite men
would not be a unit in favor of strike.
He based his approval on the necessity
of observing present contracts.
Outside OF the convention there were
many indications that the anthracite
men were greatly disappointed, not only
in Mr.. Mitchelrs conservatism, but in
the evident impatience of the bitumi
nous delegates with any suggestions
looking to a strike. They said the West
Virginia and Wisconsin delegates who
Joined in the petition for the calling
of the convention and who were then
known to favor a general suspension,
have deserted them. and that they are
practically alone in the advocacy of the
proposition; that Mr.. Mitchell. while
being all they could ask in the conduct
of the strike and true to the miners as
a class, indicated timorous spirit in
his address that they had not expected.
Adjourned for Caucus.
The convention adjourned at $50

gates a chance to caucus, and they as
sembled at once in another hall. They
agreed TO accept Mr.. Mitchells recon-
mendations, provided they were amend
ed so that he would be empowered to

the mine owners furnished coal to any

piled from the anthracite fields.

Says Tung Flu Hsiang Is
Without Honor and
Following.
WISH FATHER OF THOUGHT
Describes Chinese Leader as an Out
law, Unpopular, Prescribed, and Un-
educated-Minister Declares Story
Was Invented in British Columbia.

1.-The wish is father to the thought -
said Minister WI Ting-fang yesterday
when shown the news dispatch from Vic
toria, B. c., published in The Times,
ana stating that the Boxer general, Tung
Flu Hsiang. was planning an armed de-
scent upon PelIin.
THE story comes from Victoria. B.
c. the minister continued. There
must be people there. as there are in
many other places, who want a rebel
lion in China. Why, it is even more
unreliable coming from such a source
than If it came from Shanghai.
Shanghai News Factories.
AT Shanghai, you know, there are
news factories. When they want trou-
BILE they start stories. l can't think
what is the matter with the Shanghai
correspondents that they have not heard
OF this fictitious rebellion before every
enc else.
Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang is not a man
who would attract followers. He be-
longs to the military class, and is uned-
ucated. We DO not look UP to the mill
tary class in China as you do to your
military men here, and the army is COM
posed largely of strong men. who can t
do anything else but lift weights and
fight.
THE story of rebellion with Tung
Flu Hsiang at the head of it is foolish.
While he is q member of the 'Mantoo,
or so-called reform movement, he Is
without = following except among his
own half-wild soldiers.
THE theory of a sudden descent upon
Pekin is foolish. Ninghsia is too far
away for anything like that. How far?
1 don't know exactly, but hundreds of
miles. The men who started this rebel
lion story have likely never been to
China, and don't know where Pekin is.
Tung Flu Hsiang placed on the throne by
the people, The idea is absurd. He is
uneducated, prescribed. outlawed. and

lizcd by tho contractors that built the
pyramids. The remedy of publicity
would only serve TO prolong tho pres.
ent situation.
Another proposed remedy Is the
modification Of the tariff laws as far as
they Affect prices of commodities sold
by tho trusts. This would open the
trusts to tho competition Of tho foreign
markets; and TO that extent 1t would
place limit OH tho power to raise
prices. IL would not, of course, affoct
all tho trusts, and hence it would be
inadequate, though it might prove
very useful.
Another remedy suggested is an
amendment TO the Federal constitution
giving power to Congress to control all
corporations; very drastic remedy,
indeed, one that would greatly strength
en- the lobby, one. that might intro
ducc an era Of political corruption
unknown.
l.astly, 1t Is suggested that tho
Federal constitution should DO so
amended as to cnablo Congress TO
prevent by appropriate penalties the
smuggling of rivals by local undcrscllng,
by factors agrCcmcnts," and by
similar devices. This would not pre-
vent the Investment of largo sums in
corporate hands; and corporations with
large capital would still have an adj
vantage; but laws of that kind would
no doubt be rigidly enforced by the
Jurles OF the country; and forced SYM
pathy III favor Of new and struggling
would probably go "A long
way to redress tho balance.

said that the leading horses were turn.
cd short across tho track. Ho could
not tell just how the car struck the
carriage, but he says he reversed the
power and went for the brake just as
quickly as possible when he saw tho
horses turn on the track. He said it
was dusty and with difficulty he saw
what was going on.
Eye witnesses say the President was
calm and collected, and dcplorod tho
death of Craig. " He was tho most
faithful man l ever knew" said he,
{" my children fairly worshipped him."
When Craig saw the impending dam
ger and that a collision could not bo
averted he was heard to say: "Oh,
my God," and then he was hurled
through tho air and fell under the car
wheels. When the President got out
of the wreck he asked the motorman,
" Why were you running your car like
that?" which brought only the re-
sponse, " Because l had the right of
way"
The President said that when he
saw the car coming at such terrific
speed he felt that all in the carriage
would surely be killed.
According TO another story the
President was stunned for only a
second, and springing to his feet
walked back about fifteen yards to
where the trolley had stopped and told
the motorman that unless the car had
gotten beyond his control, which did
not seem possible, in view of the way
it had stopped, ho had committed an
act Of criminal recklcssncss which had
resulted in the death of at least one
man. Officials Of the road deny that the
mOtorman was instructed to run
through without stopping, and say the
car was not running at high ratio of
speed.

"ls is great surprise to me that
public spirited mon like Orr, Of South
Carolina, and Jordan, of Georgia,
have not taken time by the forelock
and asked tho Legislatures Of every
Southern State to enact q uniform law
in all of these States upon the ques-
ton of child laber. / believe that
chivalry, patriotism, common sense
and business prudence, all dictate such
q course. 1t needs only few of our
largest and best mills to set their faces
sternly agalnst the abuses of child la
Dor to arouse public sentiment 80 that
proper and just laws will be passed.
Tho exceedingly small additional profit
in child labor will deter no just man
from such course.
"We want more and better cotton
mills in tho South; we want them in
Tennessee and Mississippi, as well as
IN tho Carollnas and Georgia. We
want moro Northern capital invested
in such mills. If it is generally be-
loved that our mills make money only
because they employ child labor, and
that when child labor is done away
with such Investments will not be
profitable, capital, knowing that such
laws will inevitably be passed, will be
slow to invest IN Southern cotton
mills. But on tho other hand, if it
can be proved, as I am confident it
can, that these Southern mills can pay
better dividends than English or New
England mills without child labor at
all, then capital, with absolute conf
dcnce, will invest largely in them.
"Every man in the South, there
fore, who desires to SEQ cotton mills
and extend wherever cotton
is grown, should domand that abuses
of child labor in Southern factories
cease and cease immediately"

OF THE TRUST.

Not New Development in the
Commercial Wor1d-Thc Diff
Guilty of Control.
At the convention of tho American
Bar Association, which was recently
in session at Saratoga, President U.
M. Rose, of Little Rock, Ark, in his
annual address, discussed the problem
of controlling the trusts by Legislation.
He SAID
We arc by this time familiar with
what arc called /" trusts ;" so called,
perhaps, because they contain in their
composltion not q SINGLE fduciary clo-
mcnt.
South Carolina has passed two acts
en- this subject. The first act forbids
all persons to form pools, trusts or
combinations for the purpose Of rcgu-
lating or fixing the price of any article
of trade or merchandise or TO limit the
quantity of any article of manufacture
or commodity, or of any repair, or the
premium of any insurance. Heavy
fines are prescribed for any violation
of tho act and in addition any domestic
corporation infringing It's provisions
shall forfeit it's charter, and any foreign
corporation so offending shall forfeit its
right to do businoss within tho State.
There has beenslegislation along the
the same lines in other States, develop
ing, however, no new features.
A German writer, who has lately
written book about American trusts
counts the American bar among these
parasitic institutions, saying that VIC
hold meetings for the purpose Of regu
lating fees, very surprising statement
that could hardly have been made by
anyone save foreigner unacquaintet
with professional life in this country
1t is duo TO the truth of history to SOY
that no such meetings are held ant

The Appeal to the Pocket.

The Potosi Journal is not pleased
with the structures made by the REG
IsTER week before last, upon the teach
ings and tendencies OF the Republican
party. He does not deny the correct
ness OF our conclusions, but replies by
saying the Democratic party is tarred
with the same stick, and acts from
motives equally selfish and sordid.
He says 'the grasping nature' OF men
was and is appealed to by the argu-
ment that Democratic success would
double the value OF wheat and corn, oil
property values, OF wages. Every
where and at all times the prospect Of
greater gains was held out to beguile

dressed to the pocket or the stomach.
