OUTCOME OF THE ANTITRUST AGI-
TATION

It seems to be pretty well understood
in Washington that there will be no
other antitrust legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress than that which has
been agreed upon by the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce. The Littlefeld
| antitrust bill has been practically
brushed aside, and the announcement
has been made that there is no hope
for the passage of the Elkins bill in
the Senate which prohibits discrim-
ination in rates and the giving and
receiving of rebates.
An amendment has been added by
the Senate to the bill creating a De-
partment of Commerce providing for
a bureau of corporations. This bu-
reau, it is said, will afford the publicity
which, it is claimed, is necessary for
the elimination of the chief of the evils
of trusts. 1t is reported that the
amendment was shown to the Presi
dent and the Attorney General and
has the approval of the leading Re
publican senators. The story is that
it also has the approval of ]. Pierpont
Morgan and J. J. Hill who went to
Washington to see Senator Hanna in
regard to it.
VIII the President be satisfied with
this outcome of the antitrust agita-
ton? 1t will be recalled that at the
beginning of this session of Congress
he was very outspoken in favor of
antitrust legislation. In fact, ever
since the session began he has been
quoted as exerting his influence in
favor of such legislation. going so far
as to say that he was not wholly sat
isfied with the Littlefield bill, because
it did not seem to him to go far
enough.
If he is really as much in earnest
in regard to antitrust legislation as
he is represented as being, it is clear
that he does not exert a great deal of
influence in Congress. The leaders of
his party follow his lead only so far
as it suits their purpose to do so.
1t is not certain by any means that
the bill creating a Department of Com
merce with the amendment providing
for a bureau of corporations will be
passed. 1t is now in a conference COM
mittee of the House and Senate and
it will be open to debate when it is
reported back TO the two houses.
There is likely to be long debate over
the provision relative to the bureau
of corporations. The Democrats do
not believe that it will accomplish the
end aimed at, and that if it should be
passed it would only put off the enact
ment of law that would give the peo-
pie some relief. 1t is certain they will
oppose it, and the discussion of it may
be so prolonged that the life of this
Congress will expire before a vote upon
the bill is reached.
There was strong suspicion at the
beginning of this Congress that the
Republican leaders had no intention of
permitting antitrust legislation that
would be damaging to trusts. If the
Republican party were in earnest in
their attacks upon trust evils they
would not consult promoters of trusts
in regard to measures aimed at these
evils

Levi Ankeny,' who has been elected
United States Senator from Washing
ton to succeed Turner, is said to be
a queer bird. Ankeny is a millionaire
banker and farmer of Walla Walla
and has the reputation of being one
of the most uncouth and awkward
men on the coast. His wife is credited
with having managed his campaign
and won the election for him. She is
a bright woman, the daughter of for
mer Senator Nesmith. A dispatch
says: Standardized Ankeny is the
richest man in the state. but is so diff
dent that it is unlikely that he will
ever make a motion, even in commit
teeR Perhaps it was the possession OF
millions and social ambition that
prompted Mrs. Ankeny to push heI
husband into the Senate.

Breaking 1t Gently.

The cashier of a certain firm had alb
seconded, and the head clerk was. de-
cided on as being a fit and proper per-
son to acquaint the head of the firm
of the fact on his arrival, says London
Answers.
There had been a dog fight in the
street, and a small crowd was just dis
persing as the chiefs carriage dashed
up.
Whats the crowd after, Jorkins %
demanded the head of the firm.
The chief clerk thought he recog-
nized chance of breaking the news
gently, and seized it.
THE vacancy, SIR" he replied.
Vacancy? What vacancy"
Cashier, SIR"
But we want no cashier, Jorkins. -

vote himself to a diplomatic career?
asks the Baltimore News.
"Will President Roosevelt go into the
next national convention with the New
York delegation" he was asked
to-day.

parent elaboration and evidently
weighing every word, cit will be abso-

Senator Quay played a shrewd bit of
practical politics when he got his state
hood bill tackled on to two important
appropriations bills. One of the bills
affected by Quay's movement is the
sundry civil appropriations bill, which
has come to be known as the great con-
gressional pork barrel. 1t is by means
of this bill that congressman get slices
of pork for their respective districts.
The embarrassment or failure of this
bill, in which almost every member is
more or less interested, is a contingent
cy too horrible to be contemplated by
the congressman, hence almost any rid
er that has once been tackled on it
stands a pretty fair chance of getting
through with the bill, particularly If
its sponsor is senator of influence
like Quay.

The expense of tuberculosis to the
people of the United States. after care
full estimation by DIR. Biggs of New
York, is placed at $780, 900, 00O says
American Medicine. He first calculates
the loss to New York city by putting a
value of $1,000 upon each life at the
average age at which deaths from tu-
berculosis occur. This gives a total
value of the lives lost annually of ST.
100000. But this is not all, for at least
nine months prior to death these pa
tents cannot work, and the loss Of
service at 81 a day, together with food,
nursing, medicines, attendance, etc, at
$l.50 day, results in a further loss
of $S,000,000, making a yearly loss to
the municipality of $4,000, 900. For the
whole country the 1900 deaths from
tuberculosis represent in the same way
loss of $3.50, 100000. Dr. Biggs also
says that the total expenditure in the
city of New York in the care of tu-
berculosis patients is not over $500, 600
year, i. e., not to exceed 2 per cent.
of the actual loss by death, etc. ''If
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled 1t would mean a saving of
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing of the enormous saving In suf-
fering." Further evidence of this is
shown in the fact that in the last
twenty years the total deaths from tu-
berculosis in New York have decreased
instead of increased, notwithstanding
that there has been an increase of 20
per cent. in the general population.

The human element" in the rail-
road business, to which an official of
the Central of New Jersey Railroad
referred a few days ago as being re-
sponsible for the Westfield horror,
seems to have lost its grip to a very
alarming extent during the past week.
There was hardly day on which there
were not one to three collisions, and
in almost every case there were IA
talitiSs. The week was one of the
bloodiest in recent railroad history.
And it turns out that the engineer of
the train which caused the Westfield
accident was not to blame after all.
According to his post mortem state
ment he was sent out with a locomo-
tive that was in a bad condition. He
was trying to fix it and that is why
he failed to see the danger signals.

a mode of living that will make life
pleasanter. A bill has been introduced
into the North Carolina Legislature to
give to judges the power to limit the
speeches of lawyers when they are ad-
dressing either the court or the jury.
This cannot be considered a blow at
free speech, since the lawyers them
selves are in favor of it. And it is
quite certain that those who are called
upon to sit in jury boxes will mark it
as good thing. Now, if Legislation
could only reach the canvassers and
put limit to their speeches, and then
shut the mouths of the social bores af-
ter limit of say one minute, life
would be so much lighter and brighter.

Railroad, says the country is enjoying

How long are the winters of Bos-
ton? The answer to the question is to
be had through the indirect process
of reasoning from a suit that was the
other day instituted in a Boston court
against Mrs. Jack" Gardner, the leader
of Hub" society who dwells in a We
netian palace in the Back Bay district
during some part of the year. Mrs.
Jack was sued by a gentleman of
color of the name of Williams for
$3.50, the sum alleged to be due him
and unpaid for services rendered. 1t
seems. according to the story of the
plaintiff that Mrs. jack employed
him at the rate of SIS per month to

says he did faithfully. During the
whole season. however. he received
