GENERAL HOBART DEAD.
Wisconsin Man With a Notable War
Record.


Milwaukee, Jan. 2S-General Har-
rison c. Hobart, the last survivor of
the Wisconsin constitutional conven-
ton and one of, if not the last, sur
vivor of the original five who planned
and made the famous Ross tunnel and
by it escaped from Libby prison, died
during the morning in the hospital of
the Northwestern home for disabled
volunteer soldiers, aged 81 years.
Few men in Wisconsin were better
known than General Hobart, both on
account of his connection with the
politics of the state and his remarka-
BILE war record. No history of the
Civil war was ever written that did
not contain chapter devoted to his
escape from Libby prison, together
with others, by tunneling. For this
reason his reputation extended far out
side the state, and there was time
some years ago when Grand Army
reunion was thought to be incomplete
if he was not present.

Lamp Posts and Horses Knocked
Down and Other Damage Done.
New York, Jan. 2S.-A quantity of
dynamite stored in temporary struc-
: ture at Fortieth street and Park ave-
nue., used by contractors on the rapid
transit tunnel, exploded during the
day.
For hours after the explosion much
confusion existed and conflicting re-
ports were made as to the number
killed. The coroner's office gave out
the names of J. Roderick Roberts of
Nelson, B. c., and James Carr. Be-
sides these it was reported that Will
lam Todd, a section foreman, and an
engineer named Thompson had been
killed and that one of the injured,
name unknown, had died in Bellevue
hospital. Della Maher, housekeeper OF
the Grand Union hotel, was reported
to be fatally injured. Roberts, who
was a guest of the Murray Hill hotel,
was in his room when he was killed.
A quantity of iron came through the
window and struck him as he sat in
chair.
Fully rs persons were more or less
injured.
The shock of the explosion was felt
in all the large buildings in the neigh
borhood. All the windows on the
south side of the Grand Central sta
ton were broken, as were those in the
Grand Union hotel, the Murray Hill
hotel, the Manhattan eye and ear hos
pita1 and the hospital for ruptured and
crippled children, all of which are
near the place where the dynamite
was stored.
Every private house in the neigh
borhoOd felt the shock. Lamp posts
were knocked down, pedestrians were
cut by falling glass and cabmen and
horses were thrown to the ground.
The Murray Hill hotel suffered most
of all the neighboring buildings.
Through the windows huge pieces Of
timber known as "nodling beams"
were sent as if they were arrows.
All of the workmen within several
blocks of Fortieth street were hurt
One man, Hamilton Jones, was blown
nearly $50 feet but was not killed,
though badly cut and bruised.
Only a few of the injured were badly
cut. They were struck by flying glass
and were able to go to their homes
after their wounds had been dressed
by ambulance surgeons.

Unanimous Vote.

Washington, Jan. 29-Tha senate
mas passed the bill establishing a de-
partment OF commerce, after adopting
an amendment providing that the new
department should be known as the
department of commerce and labor
A resolution by Mr.. Lodge au-
thorizing the committee on Philippines
to make an investigation of the Phil
ippine question and for that purpose
to sit during the sessions of the SEN
ate. was reported favorably and
adopted by the senate soon after it
convened
Mr.. Bacon (Ga.) offered resolution
providing that the committee on print
ing consider the expediency of print
ing special edition of The Congress
sional Record for sale to the general
public at 50 for the long session and 81
for the short session. He said that
some action ought to be taken by con-
gress to insure to the general public
more complete information as to the
doings in congress. The resolution
was adopted.
J Consideration, of the bill to establish
a department of commerce then was
resumed, the pending amendment be-
ing that of Mr.. Pettus providing that
the department of labor should not be
made part of the proposed new de-
partment.
After a brief discussion the amend
ment was rejected 10 to 33.
Mr.. Bacon then offered an amend
ment providing that the name of the
new department should be the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
Mr.. Nelson, in charge of the bill,
agreed to the amendment and it was
adopted.
Mr.. Hale withdrew his amendment
offered few days ago transferring
the interstate commerce commission
to the new department. He had been
convinced, he said, since offering the
amendment that such a transfer would
destroy the functions of the commits
sion.
No other amendments being offered
the bill was reported from the commit
tee of the whole to the senate.
Mr. Quarles demanded a separate
vote on the amendment by which the
census bureau was stricken from the
bill as part of the new department.
By vote of to So the census bu-
reau was retained in the measure as
one of the bureaus of the new de-
partment
The bill was then passed.

ALFALFA EXPERIENCES.

and multiplied, the number OF alarm
lists who were able to foretell the
evil they would do kept pace with
their increase. But the quiet men
of thought, who philosophically appre-
ciated the power of organization,
and who knew the liability Of power
to abuse, followed with the restrain
ing influence of the law.
Since the rise of that form of in
dustrial combination called the trust,
this history has been repeated. The
country is full of political physicians
who can diagnose the disease, but
their prescription of remedies is
either wanting altogether or is purely
empirical
Every recent campaign has been
vocal with denunciation of the trusts.
The vocabulary of fear and passion
has been tapped and run dry in such
discussion Of the subject. And yet
how little real information have the
people received from this affluent
source.
The philosopher always searches
first for natural reason for what is.
He is aware that in all the myriad
complexities which appear in the
affairs Of men there is always, some
where, natural law of limitation
and direction. The astute French
man who organized the first copper
trust called "Le Societe des Metaux,"
proceeded in disregard of natural
law. He combined all the copper
properties in the world that pro-
duced down to a certain minimum of
pure metal from their ores. He then
arbitrarily and artificially put up the
price of copper, disregarding the sup
ply and demand. Unwittingly he ad-
vanced it to point at which it paid
TO work the outside properties that
were below his minimum. Before he
was aware of it these properties had
nearly as much copper on the market
as the trust. and were getting it's
price. His combination was broken,
and, appalled, by his mistake, he
committed suicide.
Here was the working Of natural
law. The power of a trust combina-
tion lies in it's capacity to economize
production. In certain '.-as mills
and manufactures are built at disad-
vantageous points, to which the raw
material used must be carried at high
transportation cost, and whence dis
tribution is expensive. But their
projectors are lured to mislocate their
plants by local subsidies, exemption
from taxation, and other induce
ments. If the line to which such
plants belong is combined in trust,
they are shut down, because their
production is not economical. They
are worked against the natural law

the cheapest means Of distribution.
This economy is the profit of combi-
nation, and it need not take it's gains
out of the consumer by arbitrary in
crease in the price he is compelled to
pay. The community in which the
disused plant is located suffers, and
is affronted. 1t is held up by the
political physician as mournful ex
ample of the tyranny of trusts, but
the whole body of consumers is bene
flied by the greater economy Of pro-
duction and the capital invested gets
a more certain return.
1t is of interest to recall the fact
that this law operated in cheapening
railroad freights and fares When
trunk lines were unknown, and" "sys-
TENS" were not dreamed Of, a multi
tude of small corporations owned the
roads of the country. Though sew
eral links were projected in the same
direction, there was no through check
or ticket. There was no law to COM
pei one link to receive and transport
the freight cars Of another. Each
link had it's separate operating and
administrative organization. Soon
the law compelled them to haul the
freight cars for one another, and thus
they were taught combination. The
links were absorbed into trunk lines,
the through check and ticket ap-
peared, standard guage for tracks
was enforced, and the separate oper-
ating and administrative organiza-
tions disappeared and were combined
in one. 1t all meant economy in
operation, the rendering of a better
service at a less cost, and the econ
omy was carried forward into lower
rates for the benefit of the shipper.
Yet, this was combination. 1t i'm
piled greater power. But it's liabil-
ity to abuse was followed by every
legal restraint necessary to preserve
its power for good and to destroy it's
power for harm.
1t is not without interest to recall
that this economizing combination
was followed by appeals to popular
prejudice and fear, and was made the
subject of woful prophecies, now
and recently current, concerning the
projection of the same system into
the industrial mechanism of the coun-
try. Yet it proved the beginning and
the cause of cheaper rates. If ship
pers were compelled to return to the
methods and the rates of the roads of
forty years ago the value of COM
merce would be exhausted in the cost
of it's transportation. Are the pro-
phecies of evil any more valid now
than then? We will see. Washing

calling for definite statement re-
garding number of the processes he
employed in obtaining his stand of
alfalfa, and also regarding his subse-
quent care of the crop. More than
five hundred satisfactory replies we're
received, representing eighty counties
in the state. A study of this large
number of reports from successful
alfalfa raisers gives some valuable
information respecting alfalfa cul-
ture.
There were 2SS stands reported
upon upland, and 273 upon bottom
land. Even in the western portion of
the state the amount of alfalfa on
the upland is shown to be consider
able, and very satisfactory results are
evidently obtained, although naturally
the yields of hay are smaller than on
the bottom lands of that region. In
the eastern part of the state some
what heavier yields appear to be OBJ
tanned from bottom land, but loss
from winterkilling or other cause is
greater. Twenty.three reports state
that upland is more satisfactory ttan
bottom land. These come princi-
pally from the eastern portion of the
state or the irrigated land of the
western portion.
An astonishing feature Of the re-
plies is the large amount of alfalfa
that they show to be growing OH
land, with a clay subsoil. Sandy
clay, clay loan. clay and lime, etc.,
we're not counted as clay. In spite of
this limitation, 245 clay or gumbo
subsoils are reported. A clay or even
gumbo subsoil does not appear to
be barrier to successful alfalfa Gull
ture.
The seed bed was prepared by
plowing and further working in 37S
cases, and by disking or cultivating
in rs. Among the latter is one
method that appears to be popular
and satisfactory. This consists in
thoroughly disking corn land after
all trash has been removed from the
field. In the western part of the
state there are number of good
stands of alfalfa obtained by break.
ing prairie sod, disking it, and har-
rowing in the seed; also by disking
the unbroken sod, and narrowing in
the seed. The latter commends it.
self as an easy way of supplementing
the native grasses in pastures. The
tendency to dispense with plowing OH

from early March to late June, al

IL Broadway, New York. assigned yester-
day. The liabilities of the firm are given as
in excess of s5O0.0O0. but the assets of the
firm will not be known until an examina-
ton of the books is made.
The firm was mentioned in recent Havana
dispatches as having been involved in the
failure of b. Duran of that city.
A statement issued by attorneys for
the firm says the suspension was immedi-
ately occasioned by the maturing Of a num-
Der of acceptances, aggregating a consider
able amount, drawn upon the house by b.
Duran of Havana. whose suspension was
announced in Havana last Friday. Until
definite advices from Havana are received.
1t will be impossible to give an entirely ac-
curate statement of the affairs of Cum
ming & Stockbridge The liabilities will be
somewhat in excess OF $500.0O0. II is
thought that the assets will nearly, IL not
quite. equal this amount.
