The Sultan has given pledge that

This promise was not given voluntarily,
as the Sultan doesn't believe in reforms,
but was exacted by naval demonstration

Uncle Sans war ships, which looked SO
business.like that the Porte concluded he

when American colleges wished to ex.
tend their facilities they were refused

How much may be looked for from the
republican party in the way of restrain
ing trust legislation, in the event of the
election of Roosevelt this fall. may be
judged when it is taken into considera-
ton that the republican campaign is
being financed by the firm of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co., the most powerful financial
combination in the country. This is the
firm which foated the Steel Trust, the
North Atlantic Shipping Trust, arranged
for the absorption of the Bethlehem Steel
Co. by the Shipbuilding Trust, which
deal was recently thoroughly aired by the
public press and had such an unsavory
smell about it. These and numerous
other trust schemes has the frm promot-
ed by financing, and with a first mortgage
on the Roosevelt administration, in the
event of success, the trust interests will
have little to fear in the way oflegislation.
In this connection the Philadelphia
Record says :'''What most deeply con-
Germs this promoter of the Billion Dollar
Steel Trust and of other great combina-
