FORERUNNER OF SOCIALISM
Merger Decision Declared to Be BLOW
at Individuals Liberty.

'~ New York, March 18.-The Wall
Street Journal to-day says one
who has followed the arguments and
the history Of the Northern Securi-,
ties case very closely, says, .
:. am amazed at the scope OF the verdict
of the supreme court of the Gnitedy States
in the Northern Securities case. ? To- me-
there appears a point which as yet no one
seems to have realized, which is that this
decision is likely to De the forerunner of
socialism in all Of it's forms.
= When the supreme court of the United
States says that it is it's opinion that the
public must be protected against the en-
'croachments of combinations of capital,
it seems to me it is striking a blow at
the liberty of the individually for what is
a corporation Of any character but a COM
bination Of individuals.
AS far as can see any interested party
may now go before the supreme court and
ask for a receiver for the Northern Sc
curities company and one may be ap-
pointed who will be hostile to every inter-
est involved in the Northern Securities,
Such a receiver would be the represen-
tative Of the United States government,
which would mean that the government of
the United States would take charge of
the Northern Securities company. x
Under this decision there is an oppor-
tunity for William r. Hearst to go before
the United States supreme court and ask
| for a receiver for each and every So called
trust, which, under this decision Of the
court, is an open violator Of the Sherman
antitrust law. z>s,'.

THROWS LIGHT ON
POSTAL METHODS
Bristow Questioned by House
Committee and Clears Up
Several Things.

Washington, March 18.-Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow, in
testifying before the house special
committee on the postoffice report
yesterday, claimed for himself re-
sponsibility for only the first seven
pages Of the report which was sent
to the postoffce committee, and Said
the other portions of the document
were the work Of other officials Of the
department.
The clerk hire section, he said, was
prepared in the office Of the first as
sistant postmaster general and that
part relating to leases by inspectors
and others in his own department.
Mr.. Bristow practically cleared
members Of congress from wrong
doing touching the clerk hire section
the duty of the first assistants office
to ascertain the condition Of the work
in the office where an increase shad
been recommended. 51-s
Turnout the day the postoffice ap-
preparation bill was under discussion
in the house, and little progress was
made. The minority leader declared
the postoffice department was rotten
from turret to foundation stone, and
the republicans were trying to reor-
ganize it on an appropriation bill. -.
He said that only one division Of
J the postoffice department had been
| investigated.
Mr.. Williams spoke of the inde-
pendence of the civil service commits
| sion and their absolute contempt OF
| the law.
"They don't hesitate any minute"
| he declared, ''to violate the law any
time they please, and tell you with
suavity that it was because of a con-
| struction put upon the law by some
body, God only knows who" i.
| He said the most discouraging
thing in American citizenship as reps
resented in the house was for an hon.
est man to come to congress and find
himself hedged all around with a
wilderness of transformation, over
information and non-information,
whichever happens to suit the fell
lows who write their DEGREES and send
them here to be registered in the ap-
prOpriation bills

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE
Know the Value of Pyramid Pile Cure.

"Gratitude alone prompts me to tes-
tify to the efficacy of Pyramid Pile
Cure. Last March I bought a dollar
package at the drug store, which cured
me Of bleeding piles, and T was a
sufferer from them for eight years;
but I had not been troubled with them
since, until last September, when I
gave birth to a baby girl and after
that had a very severe case Of pro-
truding piles, which a trained nurse
said was the worst case she ever saw,
and my doctor told me to get Pyramid
Pile Cure again, which I did and was
completely cured in three days. I
have not had piles of any kind since,
and it is all owing to this wonderful
remedy. My nurse took box, which
T was glad to be able to give her, for
I know she will be able to help lots
of suffering people whom could never
see or know.
IT recommend Pyramids wherever
know Of any one suffering as I did.
1t gives me great pleasure to be able
to say am entirely cured, which my
doctor says is true. I say God bless
Pyramid Pile Cure" From a former
great sufferer, Mrs. F. Ancott, 1906
Unity st, frankfort, Philadelphia, Pa.
This remedy, which is sold by drug
gists generally, in fifty cent and dollar
packages, is in a suppository form, is
and performs it's work quietly and
painlessly. Its value is evidenced. by
the testimony given above, and we
urge all sufferers to buy package now
and give it a trial tonight. Accept no
substitutes and remember that there
is no remedy "just as good A little
book on the Cause and Cure of Piles
is published by the Pyramid Drug Co.

BRIGANDs RoUr RUSSIANS
Outpost Near Port Arthur Surprised
E hY MancEmlrian Band.

New York Sun Special Service. o
Niu-chuang March 18.-A band of
mounted Manchurian brigands
swooped down upon Russian outpost
at Pan La Chan near Port Arthur, yes
terday, taking the Russians by sur
prise %, .,..9. ss
~ A desperate battle followed. The
Russians were forced to retreat leav-
ing two men on the field. The Rus
slams mistook the brigands for Jap
anese and figured that the attacking
force was backed up possibly by I'M
limited forces.
The Russian flag no longer. floats
over Niu-chuang. From the poles
above the public buildings of the
town, the flag Of France flies to-day.
The czar's banners were hauled down
this morning. XIII
The streets are full of rumors
hinged upon the coming Of the Jap
anese. One is to the effect that three
Japanese gunboats and two big cruis-
ers have been sighted from Sable
Point, on the Chinese coast opposite
Yin Kow. There is another story to
the effect that 5000 more Japanese
have landed at Ta-ku-shan, a seaport
on the Korean bay, between Dalny
and Wi-ju.
This force, it is said, is proceeding
toward Niu-chuang. The inhabitants
OF the town are terror-stricken. This
move of the Japanese will enable them
to attack Niu-chuang simultaneously
from the land and sea.

LIAO.YANG TO BE BASE
KurOpatlxin Chooses Headquarters

and Will Live in Train.
St. Petersburg, March 1S.-General
Kuropatkin will establish his first
Headquarters at Liao-yang, ten miles
west of the railroad, and connected
with the main road by a special line.
The town has many advantages
over Mukden, being connected with
the Yalu by telegraph line and by
the Picking road.
The Russians will be prepared to
move, heavy forces in any direction
to meet the Japanese. whose COM
mand Of the sea gives them great
freedom in selecting their points of
attack.
General Kuropatkin will live on a
train, with his staff, and be prepared
to move immediately wherever his
presence is required. IT the Japanese
land in force on the coast OF north
ern Korea, General Kuropatkin will
move his headquarters further north,
along the railroad. If there Is fight
Ing along the Yalu, which now seems
probable, he will go forward to Feng-
huany- cheng.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed that Russia does
not regard Korea as belligerent and
will not do so until there is evidence
that Korea is actively making COM
mon cause with Japan. Russia now
considers the Korean government as
being under dureSs and that all Its
acts are void.
The Chinese legation has given as
surance that the government at Pc
king intends not only to observe the
strictest neutrality, burt that the gov
eminent realizes the danger threaten
ing the integrity of the celestial en-
pire in case it should become en-
broiled in the conflict.

AMERICAN TRADE
AIDS REVOLUTION
Supplies of Arms From United
States Promote War in San
Domingo.
Peace Without Intervention Might
Be Assured by Stopping
Traffic.
New York Sun speoia, Service.


Washington, March 18.-Assistant
Secretary of State LOOMS Is expected
to present his report to-day on the
general conditions in San Domingo.
It has, been feared here for a long
time that the United States would be
absolutely forced to intervene between
the armed parties on the island as the
only way Of securing peace. Il
One revolution has followed another
and it has become almost Impossible
to determine which is the de facto
government and who are the lnsur-
gents ... :g
Vessels arriving in almost any part
of the island pay tonnage and customs
dues to the first set of custom house
officers who put in an appearance and
bluff off the others.
Evidence has been secured which
shows that American manufacturers
are directly responsible for the cease
less revolutions, because rifles and am
munition are being supplied to both
sides from American factories.
An advance report sent on to WASH
ington indicates that If some way
could be devised to stop the shipment
Of munitions Of war from the United
States to San Domingo the revolutions
there would die out for want of ma
terial and the necessity for interVen-
ton by the United States might disap-
pear. 5@
Foreign representatives here have
called attention to this curious state of
affairs, and have intimated that, In
asmuch as the United States supplies
to both sides the means Of making war
and killing each other. it should either
stop this traffic, put down the revolu-
tons, or permit some European ma
ton to go in and do the work.
It is intimated that a steamship re-

ures. The secretary of state and at
torney general may have a conference
in regard to the means Of preventing
the shipment of arms to the island.

Washington, March 8.-Republican
delegations from the various states are
preparing for the joint caucus of the
house and senate republicans next
Monday night, when the new congress
sional campaign committee will be
organized. ..-. .-,..:. H.. "a.
Leaders in the house say that Illi-

New York will be the battle-ground for
the control of the next house. The
fight appears to be lining up as 1t did
two years ago. Contests will be hot
test in Industrial centers where the
labor vote is strongest.
West of the Mississippi the con-
gressiorlal vote will probably go with
the state vote, and there will be little
difference between the number of bal
lots cast for the two tickets.
In the middle and eastern states,
however, congressional contests will
not be waged along the same lines as
the fight for state tickets and the re-
publican managers will not trust en-
tirely to the presidential and state
tickets to pull the congressional tick
cts thru. ~ !. : stE..ss ~ 60 /.

CLEVELAND TALKS
OF MERGER CASE
Former President Tells Why He
Did Not Prosecute
Trusts.
Hands Tied by Inadequate Laws
and Supreme Court
Rulings. i gus
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, March 18.-Grover
Cleveland makes the following state
ment:
The question Of the government taking
legal action against the so-called trusts
was given much consideration during my
last administration from 1908 to 1907. I
recall that I examined closely the laws and
received reports from Mr.. Olney, who was
then attorney general, as to what could
be done. We were blocked by decisions
OF the supreme court, which tied our
hands. Mr.. Harmon, who was attorney
general for the last two years, also en-
deavored to push matters.
In my last message to congress, in De-
cember, 1896, I dealt with the question.
Here is one paragraph: S...-
Tho congress has attempted to deal
with this matter by legislation, the laws
| passed for that purpose thus far have
proved ineffective, not because Of any lack
Of disposition or attempt to enforce them,
but simply because the laws themselves
as interpreted by the courts do not reach
| the difficulty. If the insufficiencies of ex-
listing laws can be remedied by further
| legislation it should be done.
THE fact must be recognized, however,
that all federal legislation on this subject
| may fall short Of it's purpose because, Of
inherent obstacles, and also because Of the
complex character Of our governmental
system. which, while making the federal
| authority supreme within it's sphere, has
carefully limited that sphere by metes
and bounds which cannot be transgressed
''The decision of highest court on this
precise question renders it quite doubtful
whether the evils Of trusts and monopolies
can be adequately treated thru federal &C.
ton, unless they seek directly and pur-
posely to include in their objects trans
portation or intercourse between states OF
between the United States and foreign
| Countries
There was a distinct difference drawn
/ between railroads and purely producing
| combinations. It could not be said tina
the cugar trust, or the beef trust, or thu
Standard Oil company, was directly en-
gagged in interstate transportation. They
were engaged in the manufacture and sal,
| Of products. = A." ..
| There was no opportunity to take an!
| such action as has been taken in thi
| merger suit. If contracts existed amons
these business combinations for the re
straint Of trade, they were Kept secret an,
! no evidence offered itself on which to act
AT that time, this merger of railroads ha,
not been formed, SO that there was no &C
ftion of any sort to take.

Williams yesterday referred to Gov
ernor Van SAINT Of Minnesota as a
blanket la.ket Indian" republican,.
Inc discussion out Of the reading
or an editorial in Wednesdays New
York World, scoring the democratic
party for not proceeding against the
trusts during Cleveland's second term.
Mr.. Williams said there was one
incorrect statement in the World edi-
tor1al, namely, that which gave the
Roosevelt administration credit for in
1tiatlng the movement against trusts.
Continuing he said:
1t happened to be one Governor Van
SAINT out west who commenced it. And
for very shame, after he had gotten the
case upon the docket, the administration,
prior to an election, had to continue what
he began. Why. it is the only thing you
did not stand pat 'on until after an cleo
ton, and you would have stood pat on
that, but Governor Van SAINT was a
'blanket-Indian" republican and did not
consult headquarters, but precipitated the
litigation, and after it was precipitated
your administration had in very shame
to take care of itself by letting the SUI
preme court pronounce on it.
