Macarthur OF the command of the de-
partment OF the east. with headquar-
ters at Governors island, New York.
The nie1eoric rise OF Adna Il. Chat
fee from private in the ranks of the
American army TO major generalShip
has attracted the attention of the
world. Before the outbreak of the
Spanish war General ChaTee was
major of negro cavalry regiment and
commandant of the cavalry school of
instruction at Fort Riley.
From humble country home at Or.
well. O., General Chalfee has climbed
up the ladder to his present high posi-
ton, that of major general command
ing the United States army in the Phil
ippines, and he was the first private in
the regular army to be elevated to
such an exalted office. He will be sue
ceeded in the Philippines by General
Davis.
Through his tact and bravery during
the charge at FL Caney and in the cam.
paign in China. where he was also in
command of the United States forces.
his name has become pleasantly famil-
lar to his countrymen.
After the China campaign General
Chaffee succeeded General Macarthur
in the command of the philippine de-
partment. He then made tour of the
islands to study conditions and recon-
mended changes in the civil govern
ment.
After the civil war General Chaffee
won fame as an Indian fighter and was
the idol of his men. One of his favorite
commands when in a hot chase after
Indians was. "Follow me. men. and ev-
cry man that's killed I'll make a cor
poral."

spokesman on the trust question Is
that after Mr.. Rooseyelt's speech at
Pittsburg he was asked if anything
We're to be done in the way of trust
legislation next winter He replied that
he hoped so; that Littlcfield of Maine
had pretty good bill, and he supposed
1t would be pressed. This is the gist
of the matter. Littlefield may repre-
sent the administration in the sense
that his measure meets the presidents
views, and he may not.
The president likes him because he is
square and honest and fearless and in
dependent. Attorney General Knox
likes him because he is one of the few
great and sound constitutional lawyers
in congress.
The attitude of Mr.. Littlefeld on the
trusts is a true index of his general
makeup. He has taken hold of several
other questions of magnitude since he
has been member of congress, and his
personality has permeated each one to
such an extert that his views had to be
reckoned with by his colleagues.
His antagonism to the programme of
his colleagues regarding Porto Rico
was an instance of his independence of
action resulting from strong convic-
ton. He took the ground that Porto
Rico was domestic territory and as
such was protected from the imposition
Of tariff.
The latest instance Of this independ-
ence of action was on the Cuban rec
iprocity question.
Representative Littlefield is as
straightforward in private life as In
public. His record is open and clean.
He has been attorney general of his
own state and speaker of the Maine
legislature He is still a young man
and in the very prime and vig0r Of
mental and physical life.
Mr.. Littlefield has none of the minor
vices, and never in his fifty-one years
has he tested alcoholic beverages. He
does not use tobacco in any form. Ii
he has q fad, it Is to own and drive
handsome horse. He has fine stable

the past winter in Washington-he took
up horseback riding. 1.-the Of limb.
he is the typical New Englander In
figure. His home life is perfection,
and none enjoys and exemplifies bet
ter than he the old fashioned New
England fireside.
Mr.. Littlefeld is lawyer by pro,
fession and good one by practice
His friends believe that he has great
future before him and predict that he
will one day be speaker of the house
and perhaps president.

THE MAN FROM MAINE
LlTTLEFIELD, WHO MAY LEAD At
TACK AGAINST TRUSTS.

Has a Record as n Fighter-IIow He
Has Forged TO the Front In Com
gress-AbIe as "a Debatcr and Fcnr-
less In support of His Convictions.
Congressman Charles Z. Littleheld,
'the new man from Maine" as he is
called. looms up as the probable leader
of Mr. Roosevelt's programme to enact
a law TO regulate and control the
trusts at the next session of congress.
Should Mr.. Littlefeld make the on
slaught, his friends say that the next
session of congress will be the scene of
a fight worth going TO see, for he is
fearless, vigorous and able.
The new nan from Maine has al
ready gained some reputation as trust
regulator. on the first day of the ses-
sion just closed he introduced two bills
in the house. one to amend the act TO
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraint and declaring every
contract or combination in the form of
a trust or otherwise in restraint of
trade TO be Illegal, the other requiring

commerce 10 file returns with the sec

In the third year of the reign of

the house, manor and park of Theo-
bolds with his minister, Sir Robert

whose descendant, the present Marquis
of Salisbury, now owns tic estate.
Here he has entertained at various
times the great personages of the earth

ture of vast extent. 1t was built be.
tween the years 1905 and 1G11 by Rob.
ert Cecil, first earl of Salisbury. Later
it suffered from neglect, but was re-
stored and beautified in the middle of
the last century by the sixth earl. In
1885 a great part of the west wing
was destroyed by fire, in which the
dowager Macchioness of Salisbury lost
her life After the fire a general res.
toration of the building took place.
The house forms three sides of a
square. the hollow part turned toward
the south. The center is looked upon
as a fine specimen of the Palladian
style and, although of mixed archi-
lecture. is highly pleasing to the eye.
The wings are massive and compara-

by square turrets seventy feet high.
There is central tower over the grand
entrance, which is also seventy feet
high.
The third story of the central tower
contains clock and the arlnorial bear

Hatfield House has been for centu-

that time ''the crown, the miter and
the coronet," the armorial bearings

the days of James L., but parts of the
building antedate that period. Notable
among these old parts of Hatfield

of the Princess Elizabeth in the reign

The estate belonged to the Saxon
kings until it was given by King
