The Presidents attitude on the
trust question is attracting unusual
attention. Representative Little
field, of Maine, it is announced, will
introduce bill providing for effect
i've trust control which will have the
support of the Administration. The.
President regards the trust question
as thoroughly live issue-a problem
ready for immediate solutions and it is
stated thar he can be depended upon
to push the measure with all the
strength of his administration. His
earnestness in the matter is not to be
mistaken, and if Congress concludes
likewise there is good prospect for
the enactment of antitrust legisla-
tion next winter.
In undertaking this course, the
President is, of course, antagonizing
powerful influences. He knows that
the great business interests regard
his attitude with misgiving, and he is
frank in saying that he has no inten-
tion Of keeping hands Off," bnt at
the same time he tells those about
him that he will meyer support any
Legislation which can possibly bring
about anything in the nature of a
business panic.

The BANNER can most cordially and
heartily endorse every word of the fol-
lowing from the Portland Observer:
There is one nominee on the Repub-
lican State ticket i'm front of whose
name every voter who goes to the
polls next November should put a
cross, and that is Perry Il. Powers, for
anditor-general. Why? Because he
Is the best auditor-general the State
ever had In face of precedence"
and against the advice of other MEM
bers of the board, he has insisted up
on knowing what was being paid for
and should it be paid, before he has
consented to audit many bills present
ed to the board. And many gratis
which were easy before he took
charge he has not audited, notwith-
standing those who presented them
had apulls" in certain directions. Nh.
Powers has saved the State many
times his salary in this way and his
efforts at economy and watching the
interests of the taxpayers should be
appreciated by their votes.

H4YTIEN DISTURBANCES.
Commander of the Cincinnati Reports
 Troubles im Dominica


 Washington, Oct. 2O.-The following cablegram has been received at the navy department from Commander Mason of the United States steamer Cincinnati, dated at Cape Haytien yes- terday:
 Secretary navy:
 Cincinnati arrived. Government forces control Gonaives. Touched at Port du Paix this morning. No Firmin- ists there; town in charge of a commit tee of safety. Consuls will meet gov ernment troops fifteen miles off. All quiet at both places. The United States consul at Monte Cristi reports revolu- ton in Dominican republic and dis turbances there. Will investigate to- morrow and re port from there.' A later dispatch received said that the Cincinnati already had sailed from Cape Haitien for Monte Cristi which is small town lying about thirty miles east of Cape Haftien.
 The meeting between the consuls and the government forces referred to in the above dispatch is incidental to the sur- render of the town of Gonaives which was arranged for by joint action of the consuls.

Northern Securities Company.

St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 2O.-The ad- journed hearing of the government suit against the so-called railway merger was called to order by Special Examin- CT Ingersoll at the circuit court in this city to-day and the entire day was given to the direct testimony of James J. Hill, for the defendants, the cross examination having just begun when the hearing adjourned for the day. MT. Hill went went over much of the ground previously covered by him in his tes- timony before the interstate commerce commission and in other suits similar to this, but to-day he brought out more fully the fact that the exchange of Great Northern stock for that of the Northern Securities company was the individual act of the individual share holders, and dwelt at length on his statement that the whole purpose of the organization of the Northern Se- curities company was for the protection of a great commerce with the Orient which the Northern lines had sought to develop in competition with the trans portation companies of the world The
 
 pany to shareholders offering to expand stock had heretofore been placed in ev- idence, but to-day the lawyers, through Mir. Hill, introduced personal circular letter sent by him to numerous Great Northern shareholders, in answer to in- quiries, telling them that any action of theirs in exchanging their stock must be their own individual action, and not be influenced by him. MT. Hill will be again on the stand tomorrow morning and will be followed by Colonel W. P. Clough. Frederick Weyerhauser and other defendants or directors of the de- fendant companies.

RAILROAD MERGER SUITS
COMPLAINT AGAINST ATLANTIC COAST LINE COMPANY.


 Defendant Said to Amount to at Least
 Billion DoIIars-Adj burned Hearing
 Against Northern Securities Company. Washington, Oct 20.-The interstate commerce commission to-day made public the complaint of the railroad commission of Kentucky against the Atlantic Coast Line Railraod company, the Louisville and Nashville railroad. the Southern railway, the Southern railway in Kentucky, the Southern rail way in Indiana, the Cincinnati. New 1 Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway company, the Cincinnati Southern Rail- road company and the Chicago, Indian apolis and Louisville Railroad com pany, involving allegations of unlawful combination.
 | The complaint asks for an inVestiga tion of these roads by the commission, an examination of the contracts, agree ment etc, the production of books, pa- pers, tariffs, contracts, the pursuance of subpeanas for witnesses, an inquiry 1 into the management of the business of these roads; an inquiry as to wheth- CT their contracts, etc. constitute an unlawful combination and a conspiracy to pool the freights of the defendant 1 and competing roads and a device to enable the roads to divide the net pro- ceeds of the earnings so as to equalize 1 the earnings os each of them. and the general results of the arrangement made on the commerce of the section | involved. The complaint says these roads cover all important railroad points and all railroad lines in terri tory aggregating 25,000 miles with an operating income of over $30.000,000 an- nually, and charges that J. P. Morgan & Co. have secured practical control and management of affairs of all the | lines. The transportation facilities practically will become one system operated by a few individuals and will control the commerce of Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia Florida, North Carolina, South Caro- lima, Virginia and Maryland. The capi- | talization of the defendant is stated to amount to at least billion dollars.
 It is alleged that the defendant com panies have not filed with the inter- state commerce commission, as requir- cd by law, copies of the contracts, etc. The combination, the commission charges, is in violation of both the let ter and spirit of the laws of the United States and of the several states in- volved.
 l The interstate commerce commission will immediately notify all concerned and will arrange for hearing not earl 1 fer than December.

AVALANCHES AND CARVINGS.
New Conditions Near the Crater tf
 Mont Peice.

Paris, Oct 2O.-The colonial office has received a cablegram from Martinique saying that the La CrofX scientific mis- sion (which was sent out by the French government to make observations of the recent eruptions and to establish per- manent observation station on Mont Pelee) has traversed the zone laid waste during the recent eruptions and found no trace of new Assures. The commission did find, however, that the cone of solid rock near the crater was furrowed with Assures, from which ex- plosive blasts of sulphurous vapor were emitted, and that these blasts caused violent avalanches and cavings.

GIBBS AT SECRETARY SHAW
TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY 4 NUM-
 BER OF PERSONS.
Letters Received Asking Aid in the Form of Small Loans-Pubiished Statements That the Secretary Will Help Any One That Is Short, Just as HeDid Walt Street, the Cause.


 Washington, Oct. 2O.-Several news papers recently have published para graphs similar to the following:
 Persons who don't know that pros pcrity is here are looking askance at the action of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in coming to the relief of Wall street. This is ridiculous. That's just what good old Uncle Sam is here for to help the deserving. Anybody who is short and wants $4 to tide him over until next pay, can get it by addressing MT. Shaw, Treasury building, Washing ton. It is strangeethat this is not more generally known"
 That the paragraph has been taken seriously. is illustrated by the number of letters that have been received by the treasury department. Two letters received to-day read as follows, the signers' named being withheld for obvi- bus reasons:
 z, St. Louis, Mo, Oct IS, 1902.
 MT. Shaw: Dear sir saw in last nights paper that you would help the deserving. I am not in the habit of asking any one for help. but I have been sick for week and not able to work. My rent is due next week, and if I have not got it they will put me out on the street, and I don't know what to do. My rent is $l0 month, and I have, not got a cent towards get ting it, but if you will help me just $4 dollars I will try to borrow the rest, al- though my friends are all poor, too You will be doing kind act indeed if you will help me, woman in trouble. Address (signed).
 St. Louis, Mo.
 MT. Shaw: I saw in the papers last night that you would help the needy poor. I am a widow and have one lit tie girl and I have got to pay five doI- lars in home here to have her kept got behind last month and the matron said she would not let it run any longer and would have to take her out and have no place to keep her I am work ing in a private family and get only small wages. If you would send me just a little money it would help me ever so much. I will appreciate your kindness very much. I want it to pay my little girls board.
