winter he went to Mexico and for a
time seemed better but after return
ing home last spring he gradually
failed and went To Rochester where he
hoped To get relief by having an opcr
alton performed. The hospital sur

did not think it advisable TO use the
knife and gave no hope Mr.. More

up his affairs, and patiently waited
the val Of death. Although suf-
fering a great deal he was always glad
to greet his friends and before he died

An opportunity was given friends
to view the remains at the residence

crowded at the funeral hour and the
services were conducted by Rev. A J.

THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION
This Country Will Be Expected to Sup
ply Meeting Place,

A cablegram received from Minister
Bowen at the State Department today con-
veys the information that he has decided
definitely to sail from La Guaira for the
United States on the U. S. S. Dolphin to-
morrow, SO he should be in Washington
within week or ten days. The minister
also stated in his message that considerable
distress Is being felt through the operation
of the blockade in the cutting off Of food
supplies.
While arrangements have not yet been
made for the meeting Of the Venezuelan
commission, some attention has been given
to the subject and it appears that the
United States government will be expected
to provide accommodations for the body
procured in one Of the hotels here. for the
State Department has no available room to
devote to such purposes
Signor Mayor des Planches, the italian
ambassador here, is, by virtue of seniority,
entitled to preside II the proceedings are
to be in the nature of joint meeting, and
his long diplomatic service Is regarded as
peculiarly fitting him for the important
work imposed upon the commission. More
over Italy has not adopted an extreme
attitude in the dispute with Venezuela 1t
would naturally be expected that her am
bassador could more easily than any other
fill judicial position Of the kind 1t so
happens that all four Of the prospective
members of the commission, namely, Signor
Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambassa-
dor; Sir Michael Herbert. the British am
bassador, and Count Quadt and Baron
Sternberg of the Germany embassy, as we'll
as Minister Bowen, all speak English per-
fectly and fiuently, and 1t Is likely that this
common language will be the official me-
dunn of communication in the commissions
proceedings.

nents in that way. In searching about for
an explanation they necessarily strike the
point where the trails Of the trusts and the
opponents of Cuban reciprocity join.
The opponents Of antitrust legislation
will use the Cuban treaty, the statehood
bill and every other piece Of legislation to
consume time until the end of the session
approaches. Then, amid the divided
counsels, they hope to compromise upon
some innocuous bill which sounds big and
threatens little in actual effect.
They will take their chances upon the
calling of an extra session, for they think

Effect Of Administration Bill.
The radical provisions of the Roosevelt
Knox publicity bill fairly took away the
breath of the trust men in Congress. Some
how the Idea prevailed in Congress that the
publicity cry was of a very general nature
and would not amount to much. The trust
men laid their finger against their nose and
said: why, yes, publicity is all right But
the publicity provided for in the admfnistra-
tions bill means something. Refusal to
comply with the requirement entails a fine
and the provision is drawn so that evasion
is impossible with the penalty.
No well posted man in Congress believes
that the trust interests will permit the pas
sage Of those bills until they have exhaust
ed every means at their command to defeat
them 1t means a beautiful fight between
the executive and Congress and the fight
now is on. In the course of it, however,
the personal equation of competitive trust
busters and the pride of committees will cut
as much of figure as a horse-fy on a To-
comotive boiler.

DR. ABBOTT ON THE TRUSTS.
He Delivers Lecture on "our Indus
trial Problem"

CHICAGO, January 1O.-Lincoln's famous
declaration that the nation could not endure
half slave and half free was paraphrased
last. night by DR.. Lyman Abbott of New
York when at the climax of lecture OF
"Our Industrial Problem" he said:
I'VE cannot have country part demo-
cratic and part autocratic. We cannot do
away with combinations of capital-either
of capital or of labor. The question is not
whether we shall continue to have such or
ganizations, but whether the organizations
shall be democratic autocratic-managed
the few for the many. with proper regard
for the public interests
Government regulation of trusts, even to
taking possession of them when necessary
and operating them in the interest of the
people was advocated. Forcing labor unions
to obey all the laws, but also making every
corporation, great or small do the same
thing, would bring about a solution of the
problem in the opinion of DR.. Abbott.
