CURRENT COMMENT
Playing with railroads.

New York Mail and Express-Have opera
tors become so powerful that what they play
for on the stock exchange is not shares OF
stock, but whole railroad systems, whose con-
troll is to pass from one to another in the
whirl Of days transactions on the exchange.
regardless of minority interests, of the effect
upon other securities and properties, of the
relations >of railroads to the business of the
country and to the laws Of state and nation?
This new phase of speculation, together with
the concentration Of railroad control in few
hands, where 1t can be made the subject Of
contest and of bargain and sale, gives in
creased seriousness to the problem of gov
eminent regulation Where is the states.
manship that is to solve it?

Not a Settled Policy.

Indianapolis Journal-The British govern"
ment has practically abandoned the corn laws
of Sir Robert Peel, and after many years OF
free trade in breadstuffs and most other ar.
,icIes has imposed tax ON wheat and other
b:eadstuffs This has been done because the
ministry must have money for the South
African war, but it would not be safe to as
sumo that the tax on bread will be continued
for years. If 1t should Great Britain could
be charged with abandoning Cobdenism and
putting tariff on wheat in order to en-
courage the much discouraged agricuturlso
of Great Britain.

TIE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.

''Blennerhassett," was profusely adver-
tised. Much money has been spent, on
this operation, but, in spite Of lavish dis
bursements the book does not occupy a
conspicuous position in the recorded sales
of fiction. Perhaps the Legion may do
better, for 1t proposes to publish more lit
erature, and Little Burr; The Napoleon.
Of America; the Climax, or, What
Might Have eBen," and "Theodosia, the
First Gentlewoman of Her Time" are al
ready announced. 1T is to be hoped that
these volumes are stronger than sBlen-
nerhassett" as weapons of defense in be-
half of Burr.
The trouble with the Legion,is that it
has undertaken to do an impossible thing.
The character of Burr has been very thor
oughly disclosed during century past.
The mature judgment of the American
people has entered verdict against the
proposition that he was an exemplary
citizen and patriot. The adverse deter
mination has gone into the school text
books OF history, because it is based upon
truth. Tue. trial at Richmond liberated
Burr from the custody of the law, but
the charges of treason were simply not
proven They were not disposed of. The
public believed and had reason to be-
lieve that his, ambition had prompted him
to conspire with Blennerhassett, General
Wilkinson and parties in the west and
southwest, to set up a ns-Mississippi
independent government.
1t has been sixty-six years since Burr
died, and yet the public verdict has stood
| impregnably, and the present effort to
overturn it will unquestionably fail.
What Mrs. Gertrude sAtherton records in
her biography Of Hamilton is Of about
the quality and strength of American
public sentiment as to Burr, the murder
er of Hamilton (for in the duel Hamil-
ton, fired his pistol in the air), the Sc
Queer of women, the REASONABLE leader
| of a band of conspirators against their
country.

Pension Office Troubles.

Chicago Record-The new, commissioner OF
pensions will find his job anything but an
easy, one. Senators and representatives are
also anticipating trouble. Scores of thou
sands of pension claims which have been
turned down by5yMr :. Eyahs through a resoluts
administration of the law win now come to
the front again: Members ,of congress ex-

the law, and that the new man may open the
door little wider. The pension agents, who
have joined with the Grand Army organiza.
ton in making war on Mr.. Evans, are al-
ready encouraging their horde of disappointed
clients to try again. The result will be that
Mr.. Ware will have need of all his fortituds
if he is to resist the torrent of appeals that
is sure to flow in upon him, backed by the
Grand Army, the political and the pension
agents. President Roosevelt told caller the

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.


wILLEMSTADT, Island OF Curacao, Feb.
10.-Cannonading has been heard here from
early morning in the direction Of the Vene
zuelan coast. 1t is believed the Libertador
has been engaged with another Venezuelan
gunboat.
General Andrade, the former President
Of Venezuela, who reached this island re-
Gently, embarked on board the revolution
airy steamer Libertador during the night of
Feb. and s. The Libertador some days
ago landed a force of insurgents on the
Venezuelan coast, and they subsequently
took possession of the village of Cumarebo,
situated near La Villa de Goro The Vene-
zuelan gunboat General Crespo, which at
tempted to prevent the landing, was fired
upon and badly damaged by the Libertador.
The Crespo had her propeller shaft broken
and is reported to have sunk. The success
of the Libertador has caused a sensation
at Caracas, where great commotiun pre-
walls. The news received there from the
interior of Venezuela is not favorable to
the government. 1t is announced that the
insurgents are very active, especially in
the vicinity of Barquisimeto. The revolu-
tion against President Castro is gaining
ground visibly.

FULLER'S MURDER
LATEST CRIMINAL MYSTERY AT SAN
FRANCISCO UNSOLVED.
Fugitive Muncie Barkeeper Who Is
Said to Resemble C.. II. Haw-
kins-AIibi for Another.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 10.-The
mystery surrounding the murder of sixteen
year-old Nora Fuller whose nude body was
found in an unoccuped house on Sutter
street remains unsolved. The result of the
autopsy has made it practically certain
that the girl was chloroformed and then
strangled. Although she disappeared four
weeks ago, when she met a man calling
himself John Bennett, in answer to an ad-
vertisement for a girl to care for child.
the autopsy surgeon is positive that she
was killed within the last ten days. Evi-
dence that she was strangled is found in
the fact that there were abrasions on her
neck and that a cord, small but strong,
and measuring seven feet in length, with
a bow knot at one end, was picked UP in
the room. On the strands were blood stains.
Two handxerchtefs covered with blood also
were found. A clumsy attempt had been
made to burn the handkerchiefs, but they
We're only partially destroyed.
There was nothing TO indicate that the
girl and Bennett, who. under the name of
G. b. Hawkins, is believed TO have rented
the house lived there Neither water nor
heard no sounds from the place Among
the few things found in the place was a
Denver
Post of Jan. 3. The man known as Bennett
or Hawkins secured the key to the house
on the day before the paper left the press
al Denver and he alone had access TO
the place it was he alone who could have
carried the scrap there.
dispatch from Muncie, Ind saws that
three months ago there disappeared from
that place a barkeeper who is alleged 10
have taken away SO. 500 belonging to Mrs
Sarah Williams. The police of the country.
il is stated, have been requested to arrest
him. His description answers that of & r.
Hawkins or John Bennett. who rented the
Sutter-street residence The police how
ever. are without a positive clew 10 the
supposed murderer's identity.
An alibi has been established for NJ 4
Serebrenk. whose card was found in the
purse of the dead girl. 1t was ascertained
that he sailed for China on the evening of
Jan. IL. several hours before the girls dis
