GATHERED FROM MAGAZINES

This Is the Age OF the Flying Machine.
Wilbur Wright of Dayton, Ohio a man
who has done some flying, says so, and
he ought to know. In The Independent
for Feb. 4 Mr.. Wright gives with con-
siderable detail an account of the expert
ments of himself and brother in North
Carolina. He explains there why nothing
has been reported with regard to further
efforts. The reason is the weather. The
efforts of December, which proved sc
successful, were fastened in order that
the winter might be spent in perfecting
their machines, so that when the birds
begin to sing and the swallows come back
from the south we must not be surprised
if along with the swallows we see the
Wrights soaring gracefully overhead
sprinkling over the land cards advertis-
ing the latest inventions in flying ma
chimes, thereby making good the state
ment Of Mr.. Wright that "the age Of the
flying machine has come at last"

The Foraker Bill.

So much has been said about the
Foraker pro-trust bill that it is worth
while to state Just what it is. The bill
was introduced in the senate by SEN
ator Foraker of Ohio and has the pur-
pose of permitting reasonable re-
straint" of trade. The Sherman anti
trust law and the Interstate commerce
law forbid all restraint of trade by
combinations or agreements. Hence,
the effect Of the, Foraker bill, if adopt
ed, would be to undo all national anti
trust legislation. Here is the text OF
the bill:
TO relieve foreign commerce and acts
and contracts in reasonable restraint OF
trade and commerce among the severa
states from the provisions of the act tt

MONDAY EVENING,
Baltimore's Disaster.

The great fire that is raging in Bal
experience only with the great Chi
cago conf1agration. Altho the area
covered by the Baltimore fire Is not
50 large as that Of the Chicago fire,
the loss is likely to be as great.
In the thirty-odd years that have
elapsed since the metropolis Of the
west underwent its ordeal of fire, the
business centers of all our great cities
have been largely rebuilt and reorgan-,
lied. A given volume of business is
area than formerly and the value Of
buildings and contents has vastly in
creased. A skyscraper takes the place
of several blocks in the days Of three
and four-story buildings. The COM
bination of business interests has led,
too, to larger warehouses than former
ly prevailed. The result of all this is
that modern fires, once they get be-
yond control are likely to be far more
destructive than those that prevailed
even in the days Of inferior construc-
ton and inadequate means of fighting
fire.
AS for fire-f1ghtfng, the Baltimore
conflagration proves, as have many
fierce but less extensive fires of recent
years, that before the momentum of a
far-reaching storm of flames the eff
forts of the fireman with all his en-
gines and other apparatus are ludi-
crously ineffective. The spectacle Of
men with their little engines and puny
streams of water attempting to stay
the progress Of a sea OF fire feeding on
200-foot office buildings is like that Of
King Canute defying the ocean. Be-
fore such a storm of combustion
everything seems to be inflammable.
The most approved construction seems
to be unable to resist the cyclonic fury
Of flames. Before them brick and
stone crumble, iron pillars and beams
writhe and twist, and bits of wood
flash like powder. The firemen Of
Baltimore We're as powerless yesterday
to stop the conquering advance of the
fire as were the citizens of London in
the great fire Of the seventeenth CEN
fury. n-. ~. 81
The blow will be a heavy one for
Baltimore to bear, but 1t is a rich and
solid city and will rally from it's mis-
fortune just as Boston and Chicago did
from similar misfortunes, and as Gal
weston did from it's flood destruction.
Within a few years all traces of the
| fire will be gone and Baltimore will
| have as a result a business district I'M
surpassed in the country for modern
| construction and architectural impress
| siveness. 50. -

A MoNEY-LoviNG RAT

A rat has recently caused considerable
CONSERVATION in French family. A gen
tleman, on leaving his office in Paris,
locked up in his cupboard for temporary
safety, a canvas bag containing about
fifty gold coins. Next morning, when he
went to fetch the money to put in the
bank, the cupboard was as bare as that
Of Mother Hubbard. The police were
called in and set to watch certain sus-
pected persons, but in the meanwhile some
one noticed a small hole In the cupboard
suggesting four-legged thief. So small
parcels of meat were locked up in the cup
board for two nights. These also disap-
pearing, some Of the woodwork was taken
up and the remnants Of the meal showed
the way to the rat-hole four feet away,
where the remains Of a canvas bag and
the missing coins were duly discovered.

America Wishes Japanese Vic.
tOrV.

Little Japan, it seems, has under
taken to stop the glacial advance" of
Russia. The little island kingdom, a
for less than fifteen years, is about to
throw the weight of her 40,0O0,000 in
the way of Russia. The time to stop
Russia has come, think the Japanese,
and rightly &4sgs eas s
OF itself Russian expansion will
never stop. Russia is expansion.
From a little handful of people in
eastern Europe the, Russians have
grown and extended and expanded
and conquered and absorbed until
they hold above 100000 square
miles Of contiguous territory and have
filled two continents with alarm.
After Manchuria will come Korea,
and after Korea other dependencies
of China, and then Japan ITSELF When
Russia sits down on the, Pacific coast
with a continuous coast line from the
| Arctic ocean to Port Arthur, the days
| Of Japan will be numbered. It is now
| or never with the Yankees of the
| east. .'
In this struggle the sympathy of
Christian America is with Pagan
Japan. Not even the touching spec
tacle Of the car journeying to Mos
COW, after the custom of his ances-
1 tors, to pray in the cathedral there
| to the God of battles to give victory
to the Russian arms, can move the
| ~
| the Japanese.
We are not deceived by appear
ances. ~
Pagan Japan is more essentially
Christian than devoutly Christian
Russia. Oriental Japan is more occi-
dental than occidental Russia.
The little brown man is more Anglo
! Saxon than our close blood brother,
the stalwart, whtte-skinned, fair
haired Russian.
The Japanese stand for constitu-
| tional government, religious liberty,
freedom of speech education, prog
ress, democracy.
i Russia stands for religious persecu-
4 ton, repression Of speech, ignorance
medievalisnl, autocracy.
The Kishinef massacre explains
why we are for the Japanese.
L The ruthless crushing of every in
stinct of liberty among the free.
spirited people of Finland arouses the
indignation of free America.
America is interested wherever il
this world there is any conflict be.
tween the cause of liberty and the
cause Of absolutism. Americanism i.
not confined to the territory o,
America. It stands for the rights o.
man everywhere, and wherever the
champions of those rights contend
with their enemies, there is Ameri

merce against unlawful restraints and

That nothing in the act to regulate
commerce, approved Feb. 4, 1887, or in
the act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monopo-
lies, approved July 2, 1890, or in any act
amendatory Of either Of said acts, shall

restraint Of trade or commerce among the
several states, provided that such restraint
be reasonable, or shall hereafter authorize
imprisonment or forfeiture of property as
punishment for any violation Of such acts,
except for perjury or contempt Of court. +
It will be noticed that this bill per-
mits any kind of combination in re-
straint Of foreign trade. Thus, so far
as that trade is concerned, the two
great anti-monopoly measures of the
national statutes are completely re-
pealed. This feature of the bill was
very likely suggested by the Hill and
other great railway interests and some
of the trusts especially interested in
the conquest of foreign trade. In a
lCSChe SpOSSAA III NA1llllCdpOllS, NA1s ILL
declared that the restraints imposed
on foreign commerce by certain pro
visions Of the interstate commerce law
seriously interfere with the develop
ment Of American foreign trade.
Aside from this, the bill represents
railway interests which fear an ad-
verse decision by the supreme court in
the Northern Securities case. If that
combination is declared illegal, there
are others that will have to go.
Tho there may be excellent reason
for permitting combinations or con-
tracts In reasonable restraint of trade

When the trusts are licked into sub
