eULLOh's ANTITRUST BILL.
Prohibits interstate Commerce in
Trust ArticIes---The Fines.

Washington, Dec. 2.-senator Cul-
lom today introduced a bill to amend
the Sherman antitrust law. It pro-
hibits interstate commerce in articles
produced by trusts, the penalty for
violations being fine Of from $500 to
IS, 900,
The bin authorizes the attorney gen
eral or any State attorney to make ap-
plication to the federal judges for the
summoning Of persons before them to
answer questions as to material viola
tions of the antitrust law in advance
of the trial of case, and requires the
iudges to issue orders for the appearance
Of such persons upon this APPLICATION.
In such cases witnesses are to be pro-
tected against prosecution on account
of their violations, but they are TO be
deprived of the right to refuse tc
answer because of self crimination.
Annualrreports are required to be made
by all persons, firms or corporations
engaging in interstate commerce. There
are to be fled. with the interstate COM
merce commission and they are to be
subject to the scrutiny Of the attorney
general, but not of the general public:
The attorney general is authorized
to apoint5 special agents to be engaged
in seekirg out violations OF the law.

THE MESSAGE READ.
There is Nothing in it 10 startIs
Anybody.
EVEN WALL STREET is SAFE.
The Presidents WelI-Known Views or
Public Questions Given Express
sion in His Message.

Washington, Dec 2.-The presidents
message was sent TO congress shortly
after the opening of today's session
at noon. It was read to both houses.
The message consists of about 10, 600
words and is shorter than the average
presidents message in recent years.
It is not startling in any of its re-
commentators and if Wall Street
shes at it they will do the unexpected.
The principal points touched on are
these:
The trusts, which the president
urges should be regulated by congress
under power to regulate Interstate
commerce with a view to destroying
only the evilein them. If this power
does not exist then he wants consti-
tutional amendment.
The tariff, which he thinks has a
bearing on the evils of the trusts and
which should be modified in the main
by reciprocity treaties, the principles
of protection being always kept in
view.5
The currency system, which he
thinks should be changed, he does not
say how, to give the country an
adequate supply of currency.
Labor and its right to organize,
which he recognizes, but which he says
must be kept from doing evil, just as
capital organized into so-called trusts
should be prevented from doing evil.
The army, which he compliments
highly for its work in the Philippines.
He recommends the passage of the
general staff and reorganization of
militia bills by congress.
The navy, which hesays must be in
creased as to ships and personnel as a
guarantee of peace and as a weapon
to enforce the principles which we
have already laid down.
Reciprocity with Cuba as the duty
of the strong to the weak and as an
implied obligation assumed by Us by
reason Of the Platt amendment.
The creation of secretary of COM
merce to sit in the cabinet.
The passage of an immigration law
similar to that which passed the house
at its last session.
Minor recommendations are brief.
He wants no halting in building the
navy. He says rural free delivery is
now a success. Arid lands should be
reclaimed by irrigation. Alaska laws
are a discredit to the nation. Indians
are to be absorbed ultimately. Scien-
tiic aid should be given the farmers.

Raleigh, N. c., Dec. Judge Pur,
nell in the United States Circuit Court
today appointed Augustus Muller and
Z. G. McNeely receivers for the
Carolina Northern Railroad, from
Lumberton, N. c., to Marion, S. c.,
the Atlantic Seaboard Company IA
construction company and the. south
ern Mills &and Lumber Company, all
allied companies. The property in
yolved is estimated at 100000. 1t
is stated that the financial troubles are
due to no poverty of the country, but
to a scarcity of cars to move traffic,
the railroad company being in need OF
cash and not able to raise it in Phlls-
delphia, where its stocks and bonds
have been hoated heretofore. Receiver
Muller believes the receivership is only
tenn porary, and is confident the road
will soon be extended south toward
Charleston and north toward Durham
and Raleigh to make it coal carrying
road. The Construction Company has
served it purpose and i'll be dissolved.
It's principal assets being bonds OF tie

ceivership for it. James 81. Pou, OF
Raleigh; Thomas Price, of Salisbury.
and Stephen Mcintyre, of Lunberton,

PORTRAIT GALLERY OF
CAROLINA GOVERNORS.
A Plan That the New Secretary
Of State Hopes to Garry
Out Very Soon.

The incoming secretary of state, Mr..
j. T., CAN'T, has been working for
some time upon a plan for securing to
be hung in the State capitol portraits
Of all the governors of South Carolina
from colonial days down to the present
time. In the meantime he has been
trying to locate as far as possible the
whereabouts Of existing portraits.
His idea is to have all such given over
TO the custody Of the State and failing
in that.to have copies made, getting
the legislature to make an appropria-
ton therefor. He believes that re-
cent governors and their friends will
give their portraits if requested for
this purpose.
Mr.. CAN'T has. located original
portraits of Nathaniel Johnson and
Thos. Broughton and there is one Of
Christopher Gadsden by Reynolds in
Sumter.
The following letter recently written
to the owner of the portrait referred
to shows that Mr.. CAN'T is already at
work
81 am Informed that you have in
your possession portraits of Governors
John E. Manning and j. B. Richard
son, and I write you requesting that
these pictures be turned over to the
State for preservation. They would
be absolutely safe from fire or other
damage in the State capitol, and as
sure you that they would be preserved
and protected in every way. They
would prove Of interest to the people
Of the State.
:sI understand that one of these
portraits is damaged to some extent.
I would have them put in the best
possible condition, and in the event
that you attach the condition to them
they would be returned to you OF de-
mand at any future time. The State.
