Trust Domination.

When President Roosevelt was
about to leave ON his western trip
he was called on by delegation OF
the prominent members of his par
ty and was compelled to revise his
tariff and "trust busting" speeches
to be delivered on the trip, or take
the consequence of defeat or at
tempt at defeat in the next Repub-
lican national convention The
revision was made at their dicta-
tation, and, inasmuch as he had
not time to rewIite all his speeches
he used some of the warmed over
speeches that were satisfactory to
the tariff barons. The speech that
he delivered at Minneapolis on
April 4 is berbatim the speech de-
ivered by Secretary of War Root
Cooper Union, New York, last o.
tober. If any man doubts it let
him get them and make the COM
parison. This simply shows the
President is being dominated by
the trust interest of the country
and what hollow mockery is all
this hue and cry about busting
the trusts West Union Record.

Philadelphia, Dec. 14.-"The wage
system will pass away. In its stead,
] believe, there will come system
which will be composed of the profit
sharing and the cooperation ideas.
The great labor question means the
struggle of humanity for higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employe, as well as the
stakeholder, as an investor"
These words were contained in an
address upon The wage question"
made Sunday by Carroll d. Wright,
United States commissioner of labor,
before the Society of Ethical Culture,
of this city
OF scarcely less interest than his
prediction of new labor system was
Col. Wright's approval of u plan to
insure labor against incapacity re-
sulting from accident, illness or ad-
vancing age. The German idea was
quoted, under which the employer
pays one-fourth the cost of n sick
and death benefit policy, the employe
one-fourth, and the government one
half. England" said Col. Wright,
has taken up this question, and we of
the United States are steadily APP

Were Rpncued from n Drifting Ice
Cake Only TO be Thrown Out of N
Ront.
Middleboro, Mass, Dec. 14.--After
being blown more than half mile
yesterday over the surface of Lake
Asdawampsett on piece of ice which
had broken away from the shore
while the men were standing upon 1T,
Harry Haskins, aged %, and Frank
Allen, aged &c, were rescued from
their dangerous position by s. A.
Lewis, who rowed out to them, only
to lose their lives by drowning when
the boat was swamped by a squall-
Lewis clung to the craft and was
rescued.
During the day the ice had been
gradually breaking up under the
force of strong northwest wind,
but it still held firmly near the shore.
The young men ventured upon it and
when they were short distance
from the shore the ice broke and they
found themselves adrift upon cake
not more than ten feet long and
three feet wide The ice cake driven
by the strong wind was soon long
distance out and rapidly moving to-
wards the center of the lake.
Lewis, who was passing along the
shore, secured n boat and, rowing
out, took them off. The wind which
had increased in volume was now
blowing furiously. Suddenly a heavy
squall struck the boat and before she
could be righted the occupants were
precipitated into the water. Lewis
managed to grasp one of the gun
wales and hold Oh until rescued, but
the others sank and did not reap

AN EXCITING FIRE.
1t Caused sI5O,OOO Loss mt Pittsburs
Two EIremen RadIy EurH.ed.


Pittsburg, Dec. 15.-After an excit-
ing fight of four hours in the bitter
cold Monday, firemen succeeded in
subduing one of the most stubborn
and dangerous fires the department
has been called upon to handle for
some time. Spontaneous combustion
is the only cause given for the fire,
which was first discovered on the
seventh floor of the Arrot power
building located between Penn ave-
nue. and Duquesne Way and between
Sixth and Seventh streets. The loss
will reach at least $150.000, distrib-
uted between half dozen tenants OF
the building. The losses are pretty
we'll covered by insurance.
Capt. William Bennett, of engine
company No. 2, and Joseph Furley,
nozzleman of the same company,
We're overcome by the smoke while
working inside the building and were
seriously burned before their COM
rades could rescue them.
The Alvin and the Biiou theaters
are separated in the rear from the
Arrot building only by 20-foot alley
and while the fire was burning mat
inee performance was in progress at
the Bijou. A panic was averted by
the manager of the theatre quietly
explaining the situation to the audi
ence. and asking the people to leave
the house without undue haste.

TO WATCH coLoMBlANS.
Landed from the Cruiser Prairie at
Colon - They Will Camp Near TuIra

Colon, Dec. IA company of
marines from the United States
cruiser Prairie was landed here Mon
day morning under the command of
Capt. Smedley D. Butler and immedi-
ately started by train for Panama.
The destination of the marines is
said to be Yaviza, up the San Miguel
gulf and Tuira river.
1t is believed that the decision of
the naval authorities to station
marines there may be owing to the
reports that Colombian troops have
been seen in that direction, but up to
the present time there is no reason
to believe that any large force is un-
der orders to march on Panama from
Cauca.
The opinion seems to prevail that
the few Colombian soldiers seen were
probably scouts who were endeavor-
ing to learn what preventive and pro-
tective measures were being taken
by the republic of Panama, and that
it was their presence which gave rise
to the exaggerated rumors of a
speedy attack by Colombia on the
isthmus.
1t is more likely that the move-
ment to Yaviza is in conformity with
the policy of the naval authorities to
concentrate forces at points which
offer the best facilities for getting
information of any movement by CO.
lombian troops toward Panama and
at the same time of affording the
marines some relief from their con-
finement on the ships. The marines
carried with them all requisites for
camp life and also u number of ma
chine guns.
