SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. 81, 1908.
ANTITRUST legislation has beef

ANTITRUST legislation has been
smotbered in the Senate. The trust ad-
vocates in control of the republican ma
;ority have decided upon an amendment
to the Department of Commerce Dill so
ineffective, as far as results are concerned,
and so harmless so far as the trusts
themselves are concerned, that they are
ashamed to present it to the Senate. In
stead this amendment is to be placed IN
the Department of Commerce bill by a
conference committee, and is never to be
discussed in either house Of Congress II
the Senate leaders can prevent. The
subcommittee of the Senate committee
on commerce having the Department OF
Commerce bill in charge reported Its
antitrust amendment to the full COM
mittee on Thursday. The full committee
approved it, but asked the Senate to send
the department bill to conference in Its
present form, and the Senate agreed to
the proposition. The conferrees named
upon the part of the Senate are Senators
Hanna, Nelson and Clay. Hanna will
control. The purpose of Mr.. Hanna and
other trust representatives will succeed
The President must accept the bill as 1t
goes to him. because there can be no
reason for vetoing it, and yet his policy
of trust regulation has been disregarded
and the relief he asked for on behalf OF
the public will not be forthcoming. The
amendment itself provides for nothing
but publicity in the affairs of corpora
tons and an investigation of the same
affairs by officers of the Department OF
Commerce. 1t prohibits nothing, pro
vides no penalties for violation Of the
laws of decency and justice, and seeks to
impose no restraint upon single corpo-
ration. There is nothing in the measure
which even contemplates bringing any
one into court, and, when it has been
enacted into law, it will leave the bureau
of corporation as pOwerless to do any
thing in the way of regulating trusts as
the interstate commerce commission Is
poSerless to control aud regulate rail-
roads. There is no question that the
amendment will be accepted by the con-
ference committee, and that the report
on the conference committee will be ac-
cepted by both houses. 1t is equally
certain that this will be all the anti
trust legislation this Congress will enact.
The EIklns anti-rebate bill may pass,
but this is not an antitrust bill. 1t is a
measure drawn in the interests of the
railroads.

Attempted Assassination.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 31.-Called from
sleep at one o. clock this morning by an
unknown assailant, @. B. Allison was
shot down on the front porch of his
home, at Glenmire and Ash streets,
Sheridan. Assassination is believed to
have been planned. Mr.. Allison family
ascribed the dastardly act to some
person with hatred for people promi-
nent in church and temperance work.
Last Thursday morning Mr.. Allison re-
ceived an internal machine through the
mail that gave him the first intimation
that some one was bert on taking his
life. The package contained a revolver
loaded and cooked, with a stick attached
to cause an explosion. BY mere chance.
the weapon was not exploded. Since
that Mr.. Allison has been on his guard
and this morning before answering the
summons to the door, he partly dressed
and armed himself. Just as he flung
open the door, the visitor thrust re-
volyer to his side and fired. Mr.. Allison
had no opportunity to use his own weapon,
and fell to the porch. The assassin
bounded over the railing and escaped,
unrecognized. The would-be assassin
fired three shots in rapid succession but
only one took effect. Mr.. Allison viii
probably recover, Mr.. Allison is loca
contractor and AZ years old.

A DISPATCH from Richmond says ii
is reported there that the negroes now
see their mistake in retaining Capt.
John S. Wise to represent them in the
fight against the new constitution and
they are not expecting anything to re-
suit from his work. The pocket nerve
of the negro is quite sensitive and now
that they have allowed themselves to be
bled to pay Capt. Wise his big fee for
promising to Fright their wrong they
are beginning to realize the truth of the
old saying, "a fool and his money are
soon parted" Capt. Wise, when he was
a democrat, said of the negroes, "They
are competitors with monkeys for
chestnuts," but when he turned repub-
lican they forgave him for this and the
many other hard things he said OF
them

VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS.

The insistance of the allied powers
that their claims be given preference in
the Venezuelan settlement is leading to
increased fears of complications.
The interests of the United States are
involved, as this county's claims against
Venezuela would be adversely affected
by the plan to which the allies adhere.
France, which is in the same position,
has made overtures to the United States
for union of the powers having such
claims and which have not taken part in
the coercion programme.
Venezuela will have counterclaims il
the dispute is adjudicated by The Hague
tribunal. These will be for damages sus-
tanned by the blockade.
The Cabinet at Washington yesterday
discussed preparations IN the army and
navy for possible complications.

Wyoming, assistant attorney general for
the Interior Department, it has been
announced, is to be appointed to the
new circuit judgeship for the eighth ju-
dicial circuit, which includes number
of States, Minnesota among them.
A clerical error in one of King Ed
wards titles as given in the Alaskan
boundary treaty has caused the recall OF
that document to the State Department
for correction. Senator Cullom asked
for an executive session of the Senate
today and reported the facts and secured
the consent of the Senate to the return
of the treaty to the State Department.
He also presented the report of the COM
mittee on foreign relations in favor OF
the extension of the time for the ratifi-
cation of the extension of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty.
The Senate committee on agriculture
this morning by vote of six to three
decided to accept the omnibus statehood
bill as an amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill as proposed by Mr..
QUAY. The effect of the action OF the
committee it is believed will be to either
secure direct vote upon the statehood
question or bring about an extra session
of Congress. Mr.. Quay has a majority
in the Senate to pass the agricultural APP
preparation bill with the statehood
amendment added. 1t is suggested that
vote will be allowed on the statehood
proposition and that the conference COM
mittee will be relied upon to strike ii
out of the appropriation bill. In that
case the fight would be transferred to the
conference report but with the possibility
still that the appropriation bill would
fail.
Among the nominations sent to the Senate

occupied the floor and was the sole talker
The other members of the committee arr
unanimously in favor of reporting the treaty

that il will be possible to make favorable
