NO GENUINE PROSECUTION.
Public Has Received No Benefit from
the Steps Taken by the Roose-
welt Administration.

The exposure Of the anthracite coal
trust methods, through the investiga-
ton by the interstate commerce commits
sion, shows exactly what is claimed by
the democrats, that there is a conspiracy
in constraint OF trade between the rail-
roads and the coal companies This in
vestlgation has not been carried on By
the administration but by suit of law
commenced by a democrat Of national
reputation, who when the coal trust
refused 20 exhibit its books. carried the
case 10 the supreme court OF the United
States. which decided against the trust.
This victory for The people shows what
President Roosevelt and the late Attor-
ney General Knox might have done 10
curb the trusts. II they had in good faith
desired TO do SO. Instead of pros ecuting
the trusts under the criminal section OF
the antitrust law. a half hearted equity
proceeding for an Injunction against the
beef trust is the only legal step that has
been taken against the industrial trusts
% punish or restrain them.
The beef trust barons have paid no
more attention to the injunction than if
il had never been issued and still con-
troll not only the principal cattle mar
ket. but dictate the price o. meat The
lower branch Of congress, under the
whip and spur Of popular Indignation.
ordered the department OF commerce
and labor 10 investigate the cattle and
beef combines, but although weeks have
passed and no doubt Secretary Cortel-
you Is ardently pressing the investiga-
ton. it does not appear TO have had any
deterrent effect upon the rapacity Of the
combine II may be that the arduous
labors Of Mr. Cortelyou in aiding Presi-
dent Roosevelt 10 arrange the details Of
the republican cam paign!ave prevented
either OF them from paying much atten-
ton TO curbing a trust. which even the
administration admits is a bad one.
IL has been suggested that the reason
President Roosevelt has selected Secye-
tary Corteiyou 70 manage his campaign
was that the evidence he has obtained
against the trusts could be used as club
to make them come down TO tho great
advantage OF the republican campaign
fund. That would be no new plan. for
II is charged that Congressman Babcock
threatened the steel trust with antago-
nistic legislation unless that giant COM
bine made donation TO the campaign
fund Of 1902. when II was much needed.
IL the coal trust, the beef trust or any
OF the other reputed bad trusts had been
persistently proceeded against by the
administration and results obtained by
forcing them 70 sell their products at
reasonable prices the suggestion OF
their connection with the campaign fund
in lieu OF prosecution would have no
weight But the fact that no trust or
combine has been exposed by the admin
istration and that private citizen has
had TO bear all the expense Of forcing the
evidence OF the manipulations Of the coal
trust into public view. certainly allows
a sinister construction TO be put upon
the lack Of energy in prosecuting the
trusts by President Roosevelt and his
department Of justice.

PRICE OF MEAT INCREASED.
Packers Combine Still Defes Each
and Every Provision of the
Antitrust Law.

Dun's Index Numbers of Com modify
prices for June show a large decline
in dairy and garden produce and a
slight decline in clothing An increase
in the price Of breadstuffs meats and
other food. metals and miscellaneous
items that make up the cost OF living.
The average decline in prices durlsg
the month Of May is 3 points. In
spite OF the protestations OF the pack
charging are reasonable there has been
a slight increase OF 0104 in the price
Of meats on the average during May
AS the members of the packers COM
bine have proceedings pending against
them in the supreme court and an in
junction was procured by the law de-
partment OF the government forbid
ing the beef barons from conspiring in
restraint OF trade II would naturally
be expected that the price Of meats
would decrease. But the facts seem 10
be that while cattle ard hogs are lower
in price there has been an increase in
the price of meat. Perhaps when Sec
rotary Cortelyou has finished his in
vestigation OF this trust. that President
Roosevelt has decided is the only bad
industrial trust. the report will ex-
plain how it is that the efforts 81 the
administration 10 curb II have not sue
ceeded.
The corporations having selected At
torney General Knox as United States
senator from Pennsylvania Will allow
President Roosevelt to select some one
in his place. who instead Of being
trust lawyer. will be anxious To curb
and punish the bad trusts II President
Roosevelt should appoin. an attorney
general who would carry out the crimi-
nal section Of the antitrust law and
succeed in placing the beef barons be
hind the bars" there Is a strong prob
ability that Dun's Index Numbers
would soon make a more favorable
showing on the price Of meats. more
nearly in accord with the price paid
the farmers for cattle and hogs.

HANGING ON LONG CABLE.
Some of Them Used in Mines Are Mile in Length-Always
 Made Tapering.

According to writer in Mines and Minerals, there are in use in some deep mines wire ropes, or cables, only few inches in diameter and mile long, on the ends of which hang buckets, or plat forms, by which miners are let down into or hoisted from the bowels of the earth with speed greater than that of the average railroad train. Tn many cases these long cables form the only means of communication between the bottom of the mine and the surface of the earth. In some cases the weight of the cable greatly exceeds that of the ma terial to be carried and the problem of making it sufficiently flexible to be wound on drums requires the highest skill for it's solution. Long cables are made tapering so that the cross-section in- creases with the amount wound of.

GOOD WORK OF THE
 HORSES ON MANY TRACKS

Hartford, Sept S.-The judges at Charter Oak park became suspicious .of the driving of McPherson behind Angus Pointer in the first race yester- day afternoon and warned him after the first heat that he must drive his horse to win. Again, in the second heat, McPherson did no better than second place, and when the horses came out for, the third heat McPher- son was removed from the slllSy and Andrews was put up behind Pointer. The horse took the next three heats and the race, the fourth in 2:O6, re- markable time for a fourth heat. The judges will make an investigation 70 find what interest, if any, McPherson had in the pool box.
 Fereno was favorite in the 2:06 trot, but he took only one of the three heats. A break lost him the first, and he and Caspian sprinted home nearly together in the two others. Don Carr, the favorite in the pools, had little trouble in winning the 2:12 trot.% The summaries:

To BACK JELFFRIEs.

Jim Names who was, some thirty five years ago, the heavyweight cham. pion of all Canada, told me last night that he stood ready to bet $5,OO0 that Jim Jeffries could defeat. Tom Shar- key, Bob Fitzsfmmons and Sandy Fer guson, in one night in the same ring fn fifteen rounds, and fight fresh man every round-that is, supposi1g Sharkey fought the first round, Fergu. son the second, Fitzsimmons the third. then Sharkey again for the fourth and so on.
 This system would be putting q fresh man at the champion in every round, and would, as explained to Names, almost to certainty encon- pass his defeat.
 Names, however, insisted that Jef- fries was equal to the task, and cited as an instance his performance ill Montreal 7s
 Names met, as he says, Peter Tru- deau. Manfro Maehue and Basil Ba- ton, all powerful men who knew little about the fine points of the game but were recognized rough-house sluggers, and defeated all three inside of ten rounds.

DOCTORS STRANGE STORY
Patient of London Physician Defies Hypnotisrn, But obeys Instruc-
 tions to the Letter.

An extraordinary story of the imposi- ton of one will upon another was told before the physiological section at the British Medical association at Oxford. Dr. Edridge-Green said that he was talk ing with a patient on the subject of hypnotism. The patient, a lady of more than average force of character, said she defied any man to send her to sleep and make her do as he wished.
 T told her it was not necessary to send her to sleep, said the doctor, and added; You will wake at five o'clock tomorrow morning and will send me a postcard despite you own wishes to say so.
 T got that postcard. It was somewhat to this effect: I have been trying not to write to you, but did wake at five.'"

THE PUGlLISTS.
nUNROE TELLS
 HIS STORY
Believes It Was No Disgrace to be Whipped by Jeffries
 John L. Sullivan to Tend Bar.

Here is how Jack Munroe describes the way he was whipped by Jeffries:
 It was the first wallop that put me to the bad I was a bit nervous, of course, when I got into the ring. Any man who ever fought champion has been more or less uneasy. was in no sense afraid, however, and l was in a condition to tio my best. looked at the big scowling fellow in front oE me and thought to myself that he was only another strong young man like myself, and that it was up to me to go after him for all that I was able.
 T got going and Jeff, who was as fast as a bullet, fednted me, and then put his left hand on my. jaw with the force of a sledge hammer. 1t was T terrible blow. I never knew after that just what was doing. I realized that I was in the ring, but fought mechanically. When I came to my seconds were telling me that I had been counted out in the second round. That punch destroyed every chance I ever had.
 FJeffries seemed to me 100 per cent faster and stronger than when we fought at Butte.
 .sHe is quite justified in taking on any three heavyweights in one night lie can meet any three men III lue world and whip them. People don't realize how fast aud powerful he is. He handles himself as rapidly and c1everly as champion featherWeight
 There's no blocking or stopping him now that he has learned how to keep on top of man. These fellows who stalled away for, considerable time in time past would not go five rounds with Jeff to-day even if they sprinted all the time. He is invincible. Such combination of generalship, speed, science and weight has not been known in the ring before.
 "I am not going to retire from the ring. Defeat by Jeff is no disgrace. I am in the same class with lot of other fheavies, and am open to box any man in the world barring Jeff want to met Ruhlin especially
