The country newspapers are rcceiv-
ing very large conSignmentS Of free
information from parties in New
York who prefer not to disclose their
names, with reference to sugar tariffs
and the raising Of sugar bcctS and the
making of beet sugar. All this in
formation does not come from one
source. For rs there are varied in

in fact very largely, on the sugar tar
ifs for their protection against Porto
ldcan, Cuban and Hawaiian sugar,
they are strenuous advocates of the
sugar tariff, and in their opinions
these tariffs are the greatest public
blessing within the power of congress
to continue. But the sugar trust on
the other hand Is greatly interested
in sugar production on these islands
and desires to get its products on
the market in the United States with
out paying this revenue which assists
In building up competition in this
country with the sugar beet men. So
the sugar tariffs are in their opinions
the most malevOlent sort of class leg
islation. The matter will probably
come up during the present congress

the eastward movement of all atmos-
pheric conditions across the CONT
nent, are and always have been a
menace to all that great agricultural
country lying to the east and north
east of the section in question, nota-
bly, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota,
Indiana and Ohio. The tremendous
losses experienced within the past II
months by farmers, the live stock
interests, the merchants and common
carriers are fresh in our minds-a
veritable calamity. The great loss
entailed through the partial failure
of the corn crop and enforced sub
stitution, on large scale, of other
grain to supply the deficiency thereby
caused with wheat, rye, oats, ETC.,
resulted in the curtailment of exports
to such an extent as to be not only
extraordinary but in some instances,
as with corn, sensational. The eff
fects in the eastern or consuming
states are notable and scarcely any
part of the union has been unaffected
by the conditions produced by the
scorching blasts which, originating
only in the arid region, blighted the
crops over large and important part
Of the country.

Representative Cochran Says Corporations
Have Too Much to Do with Congress
and the Legislatures.

Washington, April 27.-In the house
Representative Cochran, of Missouri,
made a speech on the universal
spread of trusts and combines in this
country, and the necessity for curb
ing them. He declared that corpora
ton Hobbies were republican in re-
publican states and democratic in
democratic states, and that although
public sentiment demanded 1egisla-
ton, it could not be obtained. The
trusts, he said, contributed to both
political parties and tied their hands.
1t was time for someone to speak the
truth and he warned the American
people that no relief could be hoped
for until there was q complete di
vorcement of legislatures and con-
gress from corporation Hobbies and
influences. The point had been
reached, he said, where the attorney
general and even a member of the
supreme court had been taken from
the employees of great corporations.
Mr.. Cochran said it was matter of
public notoriety that in some states
senatorships were bought and sold
just as produce was bought and sold
in the public market.

ELECTED FROM A CAR.
Senator Money Had a Dispute with Com
duotOr and In the Scufie He
Drew 2 knife.

Washington, April 25.-In dispute
over car fare on a Capital Traction
car near the capitol yesterday Sen
ator Money, of Mississippi, cut Con-
ductor Shaner in the right hand.
The conductors injury is not serious
and the cutting occurred while the
conductor was seeking to wrest the
knife from Senator Money. The
trouble started over the payment of
car fare. Senator Money was en-
route to the depot to catch. a car
and seeing a street car just in front
of the one he occupied he asked the
conductor to give him a transfer to
the leading car. This the conductor
refused and Senator Money jumped
onto the car ahead, but refused to
pay his car fare a second time.
Thereupon the conductor told him
that if he would not pay his fare he
would put him off the car, and i'm
mediately proceeded to carry his
threat into execution.

tive Mercer, chairman of the COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds, has introduced the commit
tee bill in the house which provides
for the purchase of sites and the
erection of new federal buildings in
all parts of the United States. The

crease for Joplin, $4,000; for addi-
tional ground at ST. Joseph, $4,000;
Louisiana, $35 1000. The bill contains
provision providing for the sale of
the old federal building at Kansas

to the improvement of the new
building, as asked for by Representa-
tive Cowherd. Hastings,

ment from a correspondent at The

sents the views of the Dutch govern
ment in regard to the peace negotia-
tions between the British government
and the Beers: 1.-The Netherlands
government claims to be in full pos
session of the views of the Boer dele
gates, inasmuch as the peace confer
ences were the direct outcome of the
visit to England of DIR. Kuyper, the
Dutch premier. In regard to Mr.. Kru-
ger, the Netherlands government
holds that no attention should be paid
to his opinions. If peace is made it
should be made on terms settled by
the Boer leaders in South Africa. The
terms may possibly be communicated
to Mr.. Kruger as a matter of cour-
tesy, but for all purposes, and for
good or evil, his fighting countrymen
have thrown him aside"

ATTACK ON FUNSTON.
Senator Carmack Calls the General q
''Jayhawker BrigadIer with the
JawbOne of an ASS"

Washington, April 26. Two
speeches occupied the entire atten-
ton of the senate yesterday. SEN
atOr McCumber, of North Dakota.
discussed his bill to prevent the mis-
branding and Misrepresentation of
food products which enter into in
terstate commerce. Senator Car
mack, of Tennessee, one of the mi
nority members of the Philippines
committee, spoke in opposition to
the Philippine government bill, now
pending. His address attracted to
the chamber not only many sena-
tors, but a considerable number of
his former colleagues in the house.
He sharply criticised the president,
not only for the policy he is purs l.
ing in the Philippines, but for ut
terances which, the senator declared,
tended to fan the flame of insurrec-
ton. He also denounced Gen. Fun
stOn, whom he described as the CAV
hawker brigadier from the wind
swept plains, the mightiest Samson
that ever welded the jawbene of an
ass as a weapon of war" Senator
Carmack said papers had quoted
Funston as saying the president en-
tirely approved his gallows speech
and wanted him to accept an invita-
ton to go to Boston to talk to the
people there about hanging the
senior senator from Massachusetts,,
but the plain truth was that Fun
ston could not hang anybody. Fun
ston should go back to the Philip
pines-to a land where there was
plenty of hemp and no constitution.
If men are to be hanged without re-
gard to law for speaking words cal
culated to incite insurrection," said
he, ''the first neck to feel the
strangling clutch of the soaped rope
should be the heroic gullet of Fun
ston. Ever since he had been in the
Philippines he had been pouring
forth TRADES of indiscriminate in
suit against the whole people and
had outrageously insulted the very
men upon whom the commission was
relying for aid in pacifying the coun-
try.

this department. directed W. A. Day,
Of Washington, in his capacity as
special assistant to.the attorney gen
eral, to examine into, as far as prac-
ticabIe, the public charges to the
effect that a combination of the
large. meat dealers of the United
States had been effected contrary to
the provisions of the laws of the
United States. This preliminary ex-
animation resulted in instructions
to Mr.. Day and Mr.. Beathea, United
States attorneys at Chicago, on
April z, to prosecute simultaneously
in Chicago and the east a more par
ticular examination into the allega-
tons and proofs alleged to exist in
support thereof. From their reports
[ am satisfied that sufficient evidence
is in hand upon which bills in equity
for an Injunction can be framed to
restrain. the combination mentioned
from further proceeding under their
agreements which clearly appear to
be in restraint of interstate trade.
I have, therefore, directed the dis
trict attorney at Chicago to prepare
a bill for an. injunction against the
corporations and persons who are
parties to the combination mentioned
to be fled in the United States cir

EX-SECRETARY J. STERLING MORTON.
termined that services will be held
at Lake Forest at three o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, after which the
remains will be removed to Mr.. Nor
toms country home at Arbor Lodge,
near Nebraska City, Neb., where
services will be held on Wednesday
afternoon at two o'clock. The inter
ment will be at Nebraska City.
Julius Sterling Morton was in
Washington for four years as secre-
tary of agriculture in President
Cleveland's second administration.
He was a man of steadfast convic-
tons, answering honesty and I'M
doubted ability. By nature a contro-
versialist, Mr.. Morton came to the
cabinet with many fixed ideas about
the government service. He was a
practical farmer and ran his depart
ment along practical lines, but never
theless not without many squabbles.
He regarded the distribution of
seeds as paternalistic and on that
subject found himself in opposition
to congress.
The eX-secretary was the author
of Arbor day, April %, which began
to be observed generally during his
incumbency as head of the depart
ment of agriculture and is now gen
orally observed in all states. His
constant motto was to "plant trees"
having it stamped in large letters
under n picture of u tree on his sta
tionery He was an inveterate let
ter writer. He found keen enjoy
ment in answering the communica-
tions from farmers and it was no I'M
usual occurrence for him to call
newspaper men into his Office to read
the answers he was writing to farm
ers, often giving out portions of
them for publication.
The eX-secretary was exactly 70
years old yesterday. He was of
Scotch-English descent. He was born
in Jefferson county, N. Y, but his
parents moved to Michigan when he
was very young. He was graduate
of Union college, New York. Mr..
Morton was connected editorially for
a time with the Detroit Free Press
and the Chicago Times and then To-
Gated at Belleville, Neb., in NOvem-
Der, 1854, where in April following
he issued the first number of the
Nebraska City News. He was elect
ed to the territorial legislature the
same year and reelected in 1857. He
was appointed secretary of the terri
tory in 1857 to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Thomas B. Cunning
and served until May, 1861, part of
the time as acting governor. He was
elected to congress in 1860, but was
unseated as the result of a contest.
He was four times nominated by
his party as governor of Nebraska,
but was defeated each time. He was
a stalwart gold man" and had an
early falling out with Mr.. William
j. Bryan, whose political aspirations
he vigorously opposed.
