tive Littefield's speech on his anti
trust bill delivered in the house Oh.
February 6. The appendix consists OF
a list OF the trusts in this country.
The table Includes every incorporation
of two or more Independent concerns.
The list is in two parts. The first
embraces all of the great industrial
trusts affecting the whole country or
large sections of the country The
second part contains the so-calfed
natural trusts mainly local in eff
feet, such as lnonopoIieS in gGs, Wa
ter, electric traction, telegraph, eX-
press, insurance, etc. The list of
industrial trusts contains 453 organic

COLONIAL AFFAIRS.

In Algiers and other French col
onies every stream, however small,
is considered the property of the
state.
The South African colonies and
islands owned by Germany have no
local legislature or even crown coun-
ellis. Each is ruled by an autocrat
appointed by the emperor.
France spends annually for her
colonies little more than $25, ZOO, 900
year, while the aggregate of it's
business with them, export and int
port, is but 500, 900, 900, and but 1000
year emigrate to French colonies.
Although Germany's colonies have
an area of over a million square miles
that is, five times the size of the
fatherland-yet the whole number Of
Germans in them, apart from sold
iers, is but just over 1000. This is
about fifth of the number who an
nually migrate to America.

HOW THEY PROPOSED.

Gainsborough's wooing was made
almost absurdly easy for him. He
had completed portrait of Miss
Burr, a charming young lady of 10
summers, when his fair sitter was SO
delighted with her presentment that
she more than limited that while she
took the copy the artist might
claim the original Gainsborough did
not decline such a tempting offer.
Bismarck's iron resolution was
never better demonstrated than in
his lovemakng. At his first meeting
with the lady who was to share his
life for so many years he proposed
to her and was accepted, and on the
following day, presenting himself at
the house of her parents, who knew
him only as young man of undesir-
able reputation, he demanded the
young lady's hand and refused to
leave the house until his suit was
granted.
For consistency it would be difficult
to find rival for Jeremy Bentham.
In early manhood Jeremy Bentham
proposed for the hand of a young
lady, who promptly refused him.
Forty years later he renewed his
offer, with the same result; and, still
Loyalty cherishing his love in old age,
he proposed again at the age of SO
in touching letter, in which he
wrote: "Since the day when you pre-
sented me with the flower in the lane,
not single day has passed in which
you have not engrossed my
thoughts"
Probably no gallant who ever laid
his heart at fair lady's feet was
more undecided than Lord Byron
when he wrote the letter which COM
mitted him to his unhappy marriage
with Miss Milbanke. He had just
proposed to another lady, and, as he
held her letter of refusal in his hand,
he said to a friend: 1T seems that
it is to be Miss Milbanke after all;
1 will write to her. He sat down and
wrote the "fatal letter." handing It
to his friend for perusal. "a pretty
letter." the friend remarked, after
reading it. 1T is pity that IL
shouldn't CO." "Then it shall CO."
exclaimed Byron, and thus opened
one of the most tragic chapters OF
his checkered life story.

IMPORT DUTY INCREASED.
Action OF venezueian 20 Raise In
demnity Asked by Allied
Powers.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The following
cablegram was received at the state
department Wednesday from Mr.. Rus
sell, who is in charge of the United
States legation at Caracas during the
absence of Minister Bowen:
Minister foreign affairs Venezuela
has decreed 80 per cent. increase duties
on all imports as war measure"
just why this decree was issued by
the minister of foreign affairs, instead
Of President Castro in the ordinary
course, puzzles the officials here. The
action recorded in the cablegram,
however, is regarded as keen stroke
of political finesse, for practically 1t
amounts to placing the indemnity
which Venezuela is to pay the powers
wholly upon the shoulder of the for
eign merchants who conduct all of
Venezuela's import trade.
Theincrease mentioned-30p per cent.

of custom dues at La Guayra and Por-

SCHOOL CHILDREN SLAIN.
Celliaion Between Train and street
Car Causes Death of Eight
Pupils.

Newark, n. j., Feb. 20.-A fast ex-
press on the Lackawanna railroad
cut through a trolley car crowded
with school children at the Clifton
avenue crossing Thursday. Eight of
the children were killed and score
or more of them injured. The mo-
torman of the car, who stuck to his
post, will die, and the engineer of the
express was SO badly hurt that there
is little hope of his recovery.
Both the express and the trolley
were on steep grades, going at right
angles. The express was signaled,
and the crossing gates were lowered,
while the trolley car was yet half
way down the hill. The motorman
shut off the power and applied the
brakes, but almost Immediately the
car began to slip along the icy rails.
1t gained tremendous momentum and
at the bottom of the hill crashed
through the gates, directly in the
track of the oncoming train. The
locomotive plowed it's way through
the trolley, throwing the children in
every direction. The dead are:

1000 acres in 1900, an increase OF
100000 acres in the past seven years
