FROM what Assistant Postmaster
General Wynue has given out about
postmasterS and governments EN-
ployes, they are not supposed to
take any part in politics. But they
have right to contribute to the
campaign fund If they want to.
1t must be hard for Federal officials
to keep out OF politics after having
taken an active interest in them for
years.

Fast Mile by Cresceus.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 21.-Cresceus (2:02A) stepped wonderful mile here this afternoon over the state fair grounds track, clipping one-quarter of 8 second off the track record for trot- ters made by Nancy Hanks in 1892 His time by quarters was as follows: :311s, 1:021a, 1:34, 2:04A. Cresceus was forced to go abainst bracing wind down the back stretch which had it's effect. The mile. however, was we'll rated, and the time a decided surprise, considering it was his first start. He seems to have the power to reach the two minute mark, if his improvement shall be as great as it has been since his preparation for racing began this summer.

COCHRAN DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Knows Little of the Power Case Except
 Nhnt He Has Read.

Port Washington, L. l., Aug. 21.-W. Bourke Cochran when seen at his home at Sands Point tonight said:
 T have little or nothing to say rela- tive to the testimony of MT. Lamb and MT. ePower in connection with tn Northern Pacific merger suit beyond asserting that it is entirely false so far as my name is used. All know about the case is what have read in the pa- pers. I was in no way responsible for the suit being instituted. I have no in- terest in it, and never had. have had no relations with MT. Lamb for at least a year, and never relative to this mat ter. have no idea why my name has been brought into the matter and know of no reason why MT. Lamb should have dragged it in. This is all I care to say, except to repeat that the testi- mony relative to me is false.''

VICTORY FOR ENGLISH PLAYERS
Doherty Brothers Capture the Tenn's s
 Championship tn Doubles.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 21.-A grand de- abled R. F. and H. L. Doherty to de- feat Holcombe Ward and Dwight F.. Davis on the Casino courts to-day and win for England the tennis champion ship in doubles for the first time in the history of the game in this country. Although the victors carried off the match in Straight sets, the score of 11-9, 12-1O and 6-4 shows at once the fierce ness of the contest. In points the total escore was ITO to 155 To the two thou sand loyal followers of the game, grouped about the court and watching every stroke, the result seemed surpris- ing, for throughout the match the Americans seemed to play the faster and certainly more brilliant tennis. But their swift strokes and their steadiness at the net were wanting at critical per- iods and their mistakes at these times were more frequent.
 On the other hand, the English pair were invariably in the right spot at the right time and the fact'that the Amer jeans won 6S of their 155 points on their opponents errors shows the general ex- cellence of the Englishmen's game.
 The Dohertys have defeated Ward and Davis twice, once for the Davis in- ternationaI trophy and again to-day for the national championship, so that their tennis supremacy in doubles must be acknowledged.
 They are undoubtedly the strongest foam that ever came to this country and rightly deserve victory.
 Very few single matches were played during the day. but M. D. Whitman and B. C. Wright both disposed of their men and will meet tomorrow morning on the exhibition court for the star event of the day

 the Result of an Era of Complete
 Trust ControI-Rclioves In the Df-

 New York, Aug. 21.--Russell Sage in an interview to-day referred to pulp lished statement quoting J. Pierpont Morgan as saying that the era of great trusts had just begun. and that more. gigantic corporations are stored in the near future, some'of which may over shadow the steel trust. MT. Sage said:. Whether MT. Morgan said that or not, combinations of all industries. are menace to true government. Not only so, but they are the oppressors of the people, {.
 What will be the result of such an era?" asked a reporter. j.
 ''In such an event the American peo- pie will revolt against them, and there will be financial ruin the like of which this country has never seen, or any other.'
 It was suggested to Mir. Sage that there was a general opinion that conn binations at certain times were good things for the country
 "Yes," MT. Sage replied; when sev- eral industries are starting out in busi- ness it is well for individuals to com bine for mutual protection until the business is firmly established. When the business is SO established the com bination should be disrupted and con- ducted on individual lines Then if one individual became ernbarrasse 1t would not mean the wrecking of the industry. believe it is best to have such indus. tries divided among several individuals than combined into one great cornbina.' ton. the embarrassment. of which would mean the ruin of all''

 and the setting of signal flags. From that moment the flagship Kearsarge and the other vessels of the defending fleet have been in readiness for the ap- proach of the opposing vessels under Commander John D. PilIsbury. When the orders to move came yes- terday the Mayfiower and a torpedo

FOUL PLAY TINTED AT.
SUSPICION REGARDING DEATH
 OF K. R. REMINGTON.
His Rrother Not Satisfied That He Died by His Own Hand-Mystery Concern ing the Size of the Bullet That Caused Death -nTay Not Have Fitted Revolver Found by Suicides Side.

Williamsport, Pa, Aug. 21.-It is re- ported tonight from an authoritative source that Edward P. Remington is not satisfied that his brother Robert died by his own hands.
 '~ To'an Associated Press representative MT. Remington said that he would neither deny nor affirm anything rela- tive to his brother $ death except that the autopsy performed to-day revealed that the bullet in the mouth caused death. When asked if the bullet found imbedded in the dead mans brain fit the revolver found by his side, he de- clared that he had nothing further to say. Asked if developments in the case could be ex2ected he said time alone would tell. 2s
 MT. Remington and his attorney Seth T. Mccormick, as well as the physicians who performed the autopsy, were to- gether in secret conference until late tonight and their action is surrounded ref, SC to give out any further informa- t',n
 Newport. R. T., Aug. 21.-The report that Edward P Remington believes that his brother, Robert R. Remington, was murdered in this city. was receiv- ed with incredulity here tonight. Chief of-Police Richards, when interviewed by an Associated Press representative, said that it was absolutely impossible that MT. Remington could have been murdered. He said he thoroughly in- vestigated the affair soon after it hap pened, with a view to finding whether there might be any possibility of mur- der having been committed and that there could be no doubt but that the man came to his deth by his own hand. He sad that while the body was lying here awaiting the arrival of the brother he investigated the revolver with which the shooting was done. He found that it was an old French revolver and that it had not been bought in this city.
 Medical Examiner Ecroyd, who view ed the body and who deemed an autop- sy unnecessary, stated tonight that there was nothing to indicate that the man died other than by suicide. The only mystery about the whole affair, he said, was that he could find traces of only two shots. while three barrels of the revolver were empty. When the body was found lying on it's face at the Reading room, there was a scar on the forehead, which tEe medical examiner believed had been made when the body fell, by it's striking on chair. He said it was possible, however, that the man fired one short which just grazed his forehead, making this scar, while the next two shots, one near the top of the head, and the other through the mouth, were the fatal ones.
 Those connected with the Reading Room, both employees and members place absolutely no credence in the theory of murder. Other than this they refuse to discuss the matter
 J. J. Van Allen, whose name has been mentioned in connection with this case, is in New York and nothing could be learned from that quarter.
 The undertaken who had charge of the body also gave 1t as his opinion that it must have been a case of suicide.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-In an effort to de- wise a plan for preventing a recurrence of corners in oats and corn. such as those of last month, directors and off, cers of the Illinois Grain Dealers asso- citation held a conference here to-day.
