turned from his home this
morning, prepared for the
work of the coming campaign.
In line with the views of the
Democrats generally Mr.. Griggs
denounces the hypocratical at
titude now being assumed by
the Republican Administration
on the question of trusts.
Evidently" says Mr.. Griggs
the Republicans intend to
make the coming campaign one
hugh joke, for / eau imagine
nothing so amusing as that
party assuming a position an
tagonistic to the trusts. A
fight conducted by the Republi-
can party against these mo-
nopolieswould be nothing more
than a sham battle, and 1 have
too much confidence in the
good judgment and common
sense of the American people
TO believe that they will be
fooled by thisssort of campaign
bluff.
six years the Republican
party has been in absolute
power. 1t has controlled the
Senate, the House of Represen-
tative, the presidency and the
judiciary, For seven months a
Congress, Republican in both
branches, has been in session,
yet not one syllable of leglsla-
ton has been undertaken for
the suppression of trusts. Now,
tour days after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and five
months before it IS to meet
again, with a great national
camp align coming on in which
the people are to decide who
are the friends of the trusts,
the President sallies forth,
armed cap apple. to assault the
trusts.
why this sudden awaken
ing of the Republican party to
the interests of the people
upon the great question of
trusts? Every Democrat in the
House voted against adjourn.
ing until some legislation was
enacted which would curtail
the power of these gigantic
monopolies, and every Republi-
can voted to go home without
taking any such action, leaving
them to plumber the people for
a time longer.
For how long? For just as
long as the Republican party
remains in power. We voted
to remain here, if it should be
all summer, for the purpose of
enacting an antitrust law.
But now, after Congress has
adjourned, the President buck
les on his armor and starts out
to fight the trusts. 1t is all a
big bluff. AS they say in poker
parlance, it is four flush.
and I do not believe that any.
one will be deceived by it. We
have the Republican party on
the run upon this great question
of trusts. and we propose to
keep them RUNNING and see
that they do not hide behind
any such tiimsy shelter as the
President put up lin his Pitts
burg speech.
Mr.. Griggs stated that the
proposed Republican campaign
against trusts will not tur II

party to make that question a

CANAL COMPANY MET.
Stockholders Hope to Sell to the
United States.

Paris, Dec. 30.-The annual meeting
of the Panama Canal Company was
held here this afternoon. The at
tendance was smaller than usual and
the proceedings were more orderly
than last year.
The time was mostly occupied with
reading the report of the directors of
the company, in which was detailed
the pending negotiations with the
United States, looking to the sale of
the canal. The facts set forth in this
report are all already known. The
sanguine hope was expressed that all
difficulties would be overcome and the
sale completed at an early date.
The reading of the report was fol-
lowed by a brief discussion, in the
course of which two or three of the
stockholders made the customary pro-
tests against the sale, and asked what
would happen If the negotiations with
the United States fell through. Pres
ident 30 replied that in this event
the stockholders would again be con-
suited, while, if the sale took place
they would have to meet to vote rati-
fication. The directors report was APP
proved, the outgoing officers of the
company were reelected and the meet
ing then adjourned.

ed by Negroes I'm Revenge.
Charlotte, N. O.. Dec. S0.-A special
dispatch from Durham, N. c.. says:
News reached here tonight that the
remains of John Rogers, a policeman,
who disappeared from his home at Vir-
gilina, on the Norfolk and Western
road, some eight weeks ago, were
found near that station on Saturday
by party of hunters.
The body was so badly decomposed
that recognition was only possible by
the watch and clothes of the deceased.
The story told to-night is that about
eight weeks ag0sa negro was killed in
virgilina. His body was found in the
early morning, and with the finding of
the body Officer John Rogers disap-
peared. 1T was Eenerally supposed that
Rogers Killed him Rogers had money
in the bank. and it was found that
this had been tal3n from deposit.
Later the merfbers of his family
received a letter stating that Rogers
had gone to Ashevflle. m. c., and that
he would not write again, but for them
not to- be lne asy.
This prevented uneasiness on the
part OF the family until the dead body
was found by hunters. The SUPPOSE
ton is that Rogers killed the negro,
drew his money and attempted to get
out of the country, but that he was
run down by the friends of the dead
negro killed and then robbed.
Rogers, it is said, was engaged to a
well-known young lady in the COM
munity The whole matter is wrapped
I'm mystery.
This story is told by prominent citi-
zens living in that section. 1t is inn
possible to verify it tonight on ac-
count of there being no telegraph or
telephone connections there.

City is in Great Danger of Capture
BY the Pretender.
Madrid, Dec. SO.-A dispatch from
Tangier, Morocco, to-day announced
that the rebels had cut the aqueduct
which supplied Fee with water and
that the city was practically without
water. 1t was further asserted that I'M
less the Kabyleh tribesmen from the
south come to the succor of Fee the
place must surrender within three
days.
The hostility against the Sultan is
spreading in Fee. The Moors are ex-
hibiting photographs of him arrayed
in ridiculous garb. The Sultan yester-
day assembled the mobiles of the be-
sieged town at the palace and exhorted
tf1emrnot to despair, assuring the chiefs
that the imperial troops win ultimately
triumph.
Great Britain and France have noti-
fled Spain that they have no intention
of taking any advantage of the situa-
ton in Morocco and that they desire
the maintenance of the status quo,
even in the event of the Sultan being
dethroned and his place taken by the
pretender. These communications have
treasured the Spanish government,
which it thus relieved of fears of in
ternational complications.

night on the race problem. lie was in
troduced by Congressman Bartlett,
who said that he was a man who had
won the love of his friends and COM
manded the respect OF his enemies.
The Senator said that his remarks
had been outlined mainly for North

cred it of eminent Importance that the
South also should hear discussed the
greatest problem confronting It, He
depicted in his characteristic style the
horrors of reconstruction and "the
band of harpies that settled down up
on the South" He belittled the Book

cation would not solve the problem. He
said also that Senator Morgan's plan
of deportation was grossly impracti-
cable.
His conclusion was that there must
be separation and inequality or shot

Regarding his Northern trip he said

Caracas, Venezuela, Monday, Dec. 20.
---Barquismeto, capital of the state of
Lara, which for some time past has
been in the possession Of the Venezue-
Ian revolutionists, has been recaptured
by government forces. The towns. of
San Carlos and Tinaquillo have also
been reoccupied by the government.
The revolutionists at Barquisimeto
were under the command of Gems. So
lagnie and Penaloza. They evacuated
the town after losing liz men killed.
and 325 wounded. There was hard
fighting in the streets and suburbs of
Barquisimeto for two days. The gov
eminent forces were commanded by
Cen Ceferino Castillo.
1t now transpires that President Cas-
tros recent visit to La Victoria was
not of social nature, as reported here,
but for the purpose of conducting per-
sonally by telegraph the operations Of
his forces at Barquisimete. This vic
tory for the government appears to be
q direct result of the Presidents initia-
tive. It has been most severe blow
for the revolutionists.
President Castro arrived here this
morning. At o'clock this afternoon
Minister Bowen called upon the Presi-
dent and communicated to him the rec
ommendation that the issues between
Venezuela and the allies be taken to
the International Peace Court at The
Hague. Venezuela's answer will be
received tomorrow at II a. m.
The victory gained by the govern
ment at Barquisimeto argues for Pres
ident Castro's continuance in power.

Gridley was secretary and treasurer.
and Edna Ranney. the bookkeeper OF

ley, as secretary and treasurer issued
worthless papers and prevailed upon

them. The paper being of no financial
value, Gridley. with the assistance and
cooperation Of the Ranney woman. in
her capacity of bookkeeper. had false
entries made in the books of the COM

Washington. Dec. 30.-John Good
now, United States consul general at
Shanghai, has been made the object
of formal attack by the American
Association at Shanghai, and the
charges will be duly investigated by
the State Department.
The principal charge is connected
with the transfer from the Chinese to
the American flag of a vessel. 1t is
alleged that the consul general
charged excessive fees for his part in
the transfer. Again, it is charged
that he refused to perform his duty
in ordering a court of inquiry to exam
inc into the facts connected with the
wreck of this ship.
Mr.. Goodnow has put in a vigorous
defense, saying that the first charge,
based principally on the affidavit of a
Chinaman, is untrue. To the second
charge he replies that he was not APP
preached by any authorized person to
order the court.
