can trusts to remove their legal dom
icile from the United States to this
city in order to evade the laws of the

lobby organized here in the interest

Horne CT the Cuba railways. or the

jority of the senators and representa-
tives in the insular congress, which
body is expected to reconvene in Ha-
vana on April l, have been persuaded
that it would be great thing for
Cuba to make this capital the home
of the trusts controlling the com
nerce and trade of the New World.
There is no doubt the bill will be
passed promptly early next month,
and once it gets through the two
houses of congress. the proposition is
to create consolidated trust agency

court bill in equity for an injunction
against Secretary Shaw, the republic

Company of France and others, to
estop the construction of the Panama
canal. Mr.. Wilson, who came here
solely to institute proceedings, left
for Chicago last night. He said that
in bringing the proceedings he repre-
sented no person or persons whatever
except himself. He announced that
he would write to the attorney gen.
eral, asking his cooperation, and he
said that he hoped to satisfy the at.
torney general that the proceeding
was in no wise a frivolous one. He
explained in detail his personal views
on the question, claiming among 9th.

canal on alien territory violated the
provisions of the federal Constitution.

Senate Discusses Recent Disability
Order ofsthe Pension eupeAu.
Washington, March 20. The sen.
ate yesterday for three hours dis.
cussed the recent order of the pension
bureau making old age an evidence
of disability, and then passed the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill.
The discussion. OF the pension order
was based on the resolution offered
some days ago by Mr.. Carmack direct
ing the committee on judiciary to in
quire into the authority Of the ex-
ecutive branch Of the government to
make such an order, Mr.. Carmack
contended. that no such authority ex.
lists, but several Republican senators
argued that the order was in line
with the regulation issued by Judge
Lochren. commissioner of pensions
under Mr.. Cleveland, fixing sixty-five
years of age as an evidence Of in
trinity. They also declared that the
new order would have only the effect
of affording prima facie evidence of
disability and not that of giving a
pension solely because the age of
sixty-two years had been reached by
the pension applicant.
The sundr; civil bill was before the
house yesterday, but debate took a
wide. range. MIR. Gillette of Massa.
chusetts devoted considerable time to
answering some of the statements re-.
Gently made on the floor by Mr..
Spight of Mississippi regarding the
race question. Mr.. Clark (Mo.) made
a speech on the tariff and declared
unequivocally in favor of the tariff
program for the Democratic party as
outlined by Mr.. Williams, the floor
