INTERVENTION A DUTY.

In this country we have not very
high opinion of the Macedonian insur-
gents or their leaders. Nevertheless
the appeal which they have made for
intervention by Europe will find a
sympathetic reception. Men do not
deal with brutes for generations, re-
ceiving the treatment that wild beasts
give and being forced to protect them
selves against such savage attack,
without acquiring some of the hate
full characteristics of their oppressors.
The guilt of blood lies heavy upon
the nations of Europe. For the sake
of preserving the balance of power,
which is only another name for their
envy and their fear of one another,
they have maintained the sovereignty
of Turkey that would, but for their
aid, have sunk long ago into the
seething depths of it's own rottenness.
Not an atrocity has been committed
by the Turk for long years in Armenia.
in any of the European provinces under
Turkish rule that did not find it's in
spiration and its safeguard in the i'm
beetle terrors- and the criminal self
ishness of the European powers.
1t is altogether probable that the
cry from Macedonia will fail of it's
purpose. The awful massacres in Ar
n1enia with which the world rang sew
en- or eight years ago did not affect
the Christian powers. When the
Christian people of Greece rebelied
against intolerable outrages, it was by
the guns of the same christian" pow
ers that they were coerced into sub
mission What was not granted to
such petitions and such efforts, with
the whole world looking on, is not
likely to be conceded to a handful of
Macedonians whose words and whose
motives are not above suspicion (
1t is a la1nentable situation, and a
reproaeh to the twentieth century.
There is actually more probability of
a disturbance of the peace of Europe
by events in the far East than be-
cause of what the Turk has done or
may do. Russia has her guns trained
upon Japan in order that Korea and
the Asian seacoast may become her
own England did not hesitate to ally
herself with Japan in order that this
movement might find check. Both
would engage, in war tomorrow if pro-
yoked upon this issue. But either would
be accessory, as both have been, to
the most internal, continuous and in
expressible crimes against humanity
rather than lift finger to save the
victims of it from him who was long
ago characterized by great leader
as the .'unspeakable Turk"
It needs but little concord and
grain of common sense to put an end
to a situation so disgraceful. Fear OF
Russia alone dictates the preserva-
ton of Turkey as a barrier between
Russia and the southern waters OF
Europe. But wrong works its own PEN
atty as wrong always will; and the
energies and ambitions of Russia. di-
verted to another course, are accom-
plishing results far more dangerous to
those that fear her. When will the
statesman arise in Europe bold enough
and righteous enough to utter an ulti-
natum of destruction against the toll
Grafton of the Turk? When he does,
the outworn theory of balance of
power will collapse like a house Of
cards When he does, he and his
government will win a name and
glory to live in history.

There is clearly outlined difference
of opinion between the President and
the members of the Congressional
Naval Committees in regard to an
increase in the present strength of
the navy. Chairman Foss, of the
House committee, stands for a grad
ual increase, the addition of two
frst-class battleships by each Con
gress. Senator Hale, of the Senate
committee, has not outlined his
views beyond a general opposition to
any increase at this session. Secre-
tary Moody, with the warm endorse
ment of the President, has appeared
before the House committee, and
will go before the Senate committee
and advocate the immediate con-
struction of six new ships, but there
is grave doubt if the views of the
President will prevail even to the ex-
tent of securing an appropriation
for two ships at this session.

The New Years reception at the
White House was one of the most
brilliant events in Washington's re-
cent social history. Nearly seven
thousand people attended, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt gave a cordial hand
shake to all callers; prolonging the
reception more than half an hour
beyond the fixed limit in order that
all might be received.
If existing plans carry, some time
next month the President will send
to the Senate the nomination of
Governor Taft to be an Associate JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court to succeed Justice Shiras, who
is expected to retire during that
month. Governor Taft will be sue
ceeded as Civil Governor of the

latter place will be filed by the APP
pointment of W. W. Rockhill, the
present Director of the Bureau of

GENERAL NEWS
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Antitrust Legislation, the Duty on
Coal, and the Canal Situation.

The most important recent devel-
opment in both House and Senate IS
the prominece which the trust agita-
ton has assumed, a prominence ma
terially aided by the President and
his Attorney General, and perhaps
not less promoted by the conserva-
tive Chairman of the Committee on
Judiciary, Senator Hoar. Senator
Hoar has introduced a long anti
trust bill, and the Acknowledgement
has forwarded to the Judiciary Com
mittee his opinion as to the legisla-
ton necessary for the control of the
trusts. AS if to confirm the opinions
of the Attorney-G General and furnish
evidence of his approval, the Presi-
dent caused to be given out at the
White House a summary of the
facts set forth by Mr.. Knox.
Sentiment in the House is hard
to gauge, but that it is undergoing
a material change is clearly evident.
Some weeks ago, as was stated in
these letters, Chairman Jenkins of
the Judiciary Committee regarded
nearly all antitrust legislation as
impracticable; and, while he did not
say so, it appeared hat no antitrust
bill would be Forthcoming from his
committee. Yesterday Mr.. Jenkins
told your correspondent that he
would not stand in the way of such
a bill, and that he believed one would
be framed and probably passed by
the House. Other members of the
House, and especially Mr.. Littlefeld,
chairman of the subcommittee to
which all trust measures have been
referred, speak with the greatest
confidence and assert that the House
will pass a measure in accord with
the views of the President and Mr.
Knox.
In the light of the facts stated,
the casual observer would certainly
say there will be antitrust legisla-
ton, but a careful anvass of the
leaders of the Senate reveals the
fact that they are largely of the
opinion that there will be no such
enactment. While these statesmen
will not permit their names to be
used, they are the men who domi-
nate the Senate and who rarely or
W make a mistake in their judg-
ment as to what the Senate will do.
So strong have they been in their
confidential assertions of this belief
that there is already a rumor of the
Presidents calling an extra session
to enact such legislation as he and
the Attorney General deem neces-
sary. These same leaders say he
will not dare to do so, as that would
be setting his judgment against that
of the leaders of his party. Even
Senators who are in close touch with
Mr. Roosevelt do not believe he will
do it.
One of the best informed Senators
said yesterday that the program
would probably be as follows: the

Cuban reciprocity bill of last session,
would say that it was ridiculous to
expect the Senate of the United
States to act with precipitation in SO
important a matter. It would take
time for consideration and debate,
and no time was left. The House
had consumed all the time, and now
expected the Senate to act precipi-
lately. Such a proposition was too
preposterous for consideration. The
matter would have to go over until
the long session. But the question
remains, If the Senate adopts this
course, will the President call an
extra session?
Senator Quay remains confident
and obdurate. The Statehood bill
has r~ight-of-way every day after 2
o'clock, and he and his l~ieutenants
will yield to no other measure. He
says that sooner or later the opposi-
ton will have to yield; he will not.
In the meantime, a large number of
important measures are pressing for
consideration, notably the army Or
~ganization bill, just passed by the
House, the militia reorganization
bill, to which some time has already
been devoted. the immigration bill,
and the Cuban treaty. The ratiica-
ton of the latter is conceded by
nearly all its former opponents, and
it is not believed there will be any
great delay in securing an executive
session for its consideration.
The coal situation is also serving
as a hook on which to hang some
very interesting speeches and some
new and effective bills. Senator
Lodge has introduced a bill suspend
ing the duty on anthracite coal for
ninety days. The measure is doubt
less lost in the cabinet of the FL
nance OOulIIlIGJ60, WHICH, has pIONSu
the last resting place of so many
well-meant measures, but the subject
will not down. Senator Culberson
has introduced a bill placing anthra-
cite on the free list, and Senator
Vest, almost bed-ridden and physi-
cally feeble to the last degree, but
extraordinarily vigorous in intellect,
made an impassioned and dramatic
speech on the subject of the latter
bill on Tuesday. The Senator as
serted that the measure should not
be regarded from q partisan but from
a humanitarian standpoint. With
feeble old men and women and little
children actually suffering from cold,
it was no time for looking at such
legislation from the party view
point.
There has been no change in re-
gard to the Panama Canal situation
since my last letter. The Secretary
of State claims that he has offered
all he is warranted for the privileges
desired, and Mr.. Herran, the Colon
bian Minister, says he is awaiting
advices from his Mean

now been incorporated at Wash
ington. The Senate passed the bill
last April and the House last week.
The trustees and incorporators are:
William II. Baldwin, Jr., j. L. M.
Curry, Frederick T. Gates, Daniel
@. Gilman, Morris K. Jesup, Robert
G. Ogden, Walter b. Page, George
Foster Peabody and Albert Shaw.
The board was formed nearly a
year ago by a number of philan-
thropic men, after a trip made
through the South, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Robert @. Ogden, had
convinced them of the need of
greater educational facilities there.
The bill makes it a National institu-
ton, with a somewhat larger scope,
Incorporating it for general educa-
tional purposes, with power to build,
improve, enlarge or equip buildings
for elementary or primary, indus
trial, technical, normal and training
schools, or higher institutions of
learning, or cooperate with other
associations or corporations to the
same end. It is authorized to pur-
chase and manage property, to in
vest it's funds, to accept and admin
lister any trust of money or of real
or personal estate for any educa-
tional purpose within it's objects, and
to assign or give any or all of it's
property, real or personal, to any
society or corporation for anv of
the purposes for which it is incorpo-
rated. The general Offices of the
board are to be in Washington.
Mr.. Baldwin is chairman of the
board and Mr. Peabody, treasurer. It
has been doing in a small way the
work that it hopes o to do on a
very much larger scale.
Two years ago, when Mr.. Ogden
took a party through the South to
inspect it's educational facilities, one
of the members of it was John d.
Rockefeller, Jr. Mr.. Rockefeller
went at the request of his father,
who has since shown a great deal
of interest in the movement, and,
like a number of other men, has con-
trihI1ted tO the funds

board has expended at the rate of
about 100000 a year, but hopes to

A New Way to Stop a Runaway

An odd scene occurred on the
streets Friday forenoon. A man was
riding up Main street in a spring
wagon with no tail board in it. In
the wagon was a truck for moving
pianos. A horse following behind
was hitched to the truck. The led
horse wanted to drink at the water
ing trough, and in endeavoring to do
so, pulled the truck out of the wagon.
This frightened the horse, and it
started to run, the truck, on all fours,
running after him, and he still hitch
ed to the truck. The load being a
little heavy and unhandy to haul by
a halter, the horse didn't make any
break-record time, but was getting a
pretty good start, when one man ran
out and caught him by the head, and
tried to hold him, and another man,
Mr.. J. w. Thatcher, ran out. and say
ing. 'If you want to stop a runaway
horse, catch him by the tail"
suiting the action to the word, grab
bed the horse by the tail, and the
animal at once stopped, as if unable
to move. The prescription is doubt
less a good one, but it is no doubt like
the rule for catching birds, by put
ting salt on their tails. You have to
first get near enough to put salt
on their tails.

Illustrated.

Last Sunday morning Rev. S. E.
Greenawalt, of the Lutheran church,
preached an especially interesting
illustrated sermon to the children,
from the text, Evil Communica-
tions Corrupt Good Manners"
He illustrated his arguments by
presenting two vials, each contain
ing different chemicals, apparently
pure water, but one contained a
poison. By pouring some of the
poison into the other vial, the fluid
therein became colored, and at each
addition the color became more ap-
parent, until it became almost Grim
son.
He then gave a second text,
Though your sins be as scarlet they
shall be whittier than snow." He then
explained that the contents of the
vial had no power of its own to be
come cleansed, neither has a person
in sin, but quoted a third text, ''The
blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleans.
eth us from all sin" Then by the ap
plication of a third chemical the
scarlet fluid became as clear as water
again. This discourse was very ap
propriate and strikingly impressive
warning the children against many
evil habits, especially vile Language
and the vile cigarets.

BURGLARY.
The Home of Henry Ludwig
In Second Ward Entered.
A Gold Watch and Chain Stolen.

Sunday night a burglar entered the
home of Henry Ludwig, on east Will
liams street, by taking out the wire
screen of window, and stole the gold
watch and chain of his SON Henry.
The silver watch of the father was
taken from the wall and laid upon
the table, where it was left.
The shepherd dog of Mr.. c. d.
Campbell announced by his bark that
he was chasing man in the lot, and
Mr.. Campbell jumped up to get his
gun, and heard the dog and the man
pass the end of the house, and the
man fire at the dog. His son, Quincy,
leaned out an upper window, and
looked down on the man and dog. and
saw the dog grab the heel of the man,
saw the man kick him loose, and saw
the man fire at the dog from the side
walk and run up Madriver street.
Deputy Sheriff Humphrey, who lives
nearly opposite, heard the firing, and
looked out, but too late to see the
man, who was short, heavy set fell
low. As he could not be seen running
up the street, it is supposed he crossed
the lots and ran toward the Big Four
yards.
He was probably the burglar who
entered the Ludwig home.
