Shifting Sands Between Ocean City and
Longport Source OF Worriment to
West Jersey Officials.
The bars which have been forming
between the steamboat piers at this
place and Longport have been a con-
slant PURGE of worriment and anxiety
to the Officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The sand has so shifted
about that the steamers which ply
between these points have to make a
roundabout course, consuming much
more time than ordinarily, and even
then the boats scrape the bottom fire.

very serious one, and the officials are
determined to run the boats until it is

the rudder of the Avalon vas knocked
to pieces, and the keel of the boat was
SO damaged that she had to lay up for
repairs. Only yesterday the Ocean
City, the newest and costliest of the
fleet, had the entire back portion of her
keel and rudder, including the shoe
brace, badly damaged. The loss
amounts to 5000, and a week will be
necessary TO fix her.
1t is no fault of the pilots, for they
know every foot of the way between

Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably inclin-

children is very high during the hot

Commissioner Garfield in his final res
olution of the data, gathered into gem
civilizations and principles, has been
able to submit to the president in dis
tinct lines of analysis the evils of the
trusts and the possibilities of remedy by
legislation and administrative control.
The interstate corporations becoming
the creatures of the national govern
ment will thus be made amenable to
the supervision and restraint of the
general government in much the same
way that national banks are now sub
ject to the general government. This
may be an extreme Interpretation of the
position to be taken, but it is in line
with the impression of the presidents
conclusions.
BY those who have any information
on the subject. it is expected that por-
tons, If not all. of the beef invest "a
ton report ana the reports in the oil
and tobacco inquiries will be sent to
congress simultaneously with the mes
sage and for the purpose of publication
as public documents. The law requires
that there shall be such publication, but
gives the president discretion as to
what shall be published. 1t is under
stood that the broad rule will be fol-
lowed that all features of the beef in
duStry relating to the public interests
are properly within the scope of the
publicity sought by the law and only
such matters as might be fairly claimed
to be essentially of a private character
or 10 be concerned vitality with the bus
mess integrity, solvency and perpetuity
of a concern will be kept out of the re-
ports sent to congress.
Mr.. Garfield, when asked for informa-
ton on the work already accomplished
by his bureau in the investigation of
trust conditions and effects, has uni
formly declined to talk, claiming that
it was a subject that he must in obedi-
ence to the law submit to the president
in the strictest confidence As matter
ow duty to the public and the president

CLOSE MANKATo's JOINTS.
Big Temperance Revival Is Doing the
Work.

Mankato, Dec. 16.-There are more
thirsty threats in Mankato today than
ever before, all on account of the joints
closing business. This was brought
about by the appearance here of the
well known evangelist, Rev. H. H. Will
Jams, of Scandia, and c. L. Williams
and wife, the noted singers.
Mr.. Williams has been doing evange-
listic work here for more than three
weeks, preaching in the U. B. church to
overlooking houses. He is a Wesleyan
Methodist. and will be remembered by
Topeka people, he having been called
there on a like mission.
The day before the joints closed
wagon loads of empty boxes and bar
rels were being hauled off, while most
of the sure stuff had found an outlet in
the stomachs of the thirsty. 1t looks
as if Mankato was going to be sure
enough dry for a long time. Rev.
D. E. Vance, pastor of the U. B. church
here, says the temperance and law-abid-
ing people of Mankato will not let UP
with the joints alone but will confne
their work with the drug stores as well.
The report that Carrie Nation would
be here called out large crowd of PEG
pie at the church, all eager to see and
hear her. She failed to arrive. The
meeting leading to the closing of the
joints was large and enthusiastic.

A Report That Roosevelt VIII Recon-

Washington, Dec. 16.-Among those
best acquainted with the presidents
views and purposes in regard to the
solution of the trust problem it is ex-
pected that in a message to congress
after the holiday recess he will urge
the wisdom of requiring that all cor
porationS engaged in interstate COM
merce shall organize under federal
charters and thus pass under control
of the general government so far as
tn cir corporation capacity and conduct
are concerned
This course will be the result of long
study and exhaustive inquiry into the
management of interstate corporations
and their effect on the public in the
matter of trade, prices, supply and
demand. transportation and distribu-
ton. The range of this inquiry finally
will be shown in the published reports
of the investigation of the beef trust,
the oil trust and the tobacco trust.

ARKANSAS CITY MARSHAL OUT.
Alleged Striking 1fachinists Were AL

Arkansas City, Kan, Dec. 16.-As
result of meeting held in this city
which was attended by fifty business
men, General Manager H. q. Nudge,
General superintendent J. E. Hurley
and several other Santa Fe officials,
City Marshal Kitchen has resigned
and a successor was appointed. The
meeting was for the purpose of ar
ranging in some manner to stop the
trouble caused by the striking Santa
Fe naachinists for the company. Lately
the company has been unable to keep
nonunion men here. The officials of
the road claimed the company's in
terests were not being properly cared
for. The business men took steps to
at once see the mayor and have an
other police force appointed. The
present policemen will hold their jobs
for awhile until their successors are
selected.

COMPLAIN OF COAL RATES.
Discrimination Against San Antonio
and New Mexico Field Alleged.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 16.-The inter-
state commerce commission, represent
ed by Judge c. A. Prouty, took testi-
mony here in the complaint of the
Darbyshire Fuel company against the
Santa Fe railroad, alleging discrimina-
ton against the San Antonio and New
Mexico coal fields.
Although acknowledging the recent
increase in freight rates, the officials OF
the company declared that their
charge now is no higher that the rates
to the other coal fields in this section.
Increase in rates was declared i'm
perative because the former charges
were ruinously low. Complaining wit
nesses alleged that profitable contracts
were forfeited by reason of the COM
pany's high rates.

interstate commerce.
