Forakers Trust Rfu.

The bill introduced in congress by
Senator Foraker of Ohio to exempt for
eign commerce from the operations of
the interstate commerce act and the
antitrust law has raised such a storm
of Indignation that the administration,
which has been hand-in-glove with For
aker, has found it expedient to issue
denial that the measure has received its
approval.
1t is not remarkable that the presi-
dent and his advisers have felt impeiled
to disavow sympathy with the Foraker
bill Itprovides
That nothing in the act to regulate
commerce approved Feb. f. 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
hereafter apply to foreign commerce or
shall prohibit any act or any contract in
restraint of trade or cor dmerce among
the several states;
Provided that such restraint be reas-
enable or shall hereafter authorize i'm
prisonmept or forfeiture of property as
punishment for any violation of such
acts. except for perjury or contempt of
court
Should this measure become a law it
would have the effect of multiplying the
interstate commerce act and the anti
trust law. Though these measures af-
ford small protection to the public ow-
ing to their non enforcement, they are
a menace to the trust magnates. Inn
partially and vigorously enforced, these
laws would put an end to the highway
robbery of such combines. as the an
thractie coal trust and place upon many
of the great financlers'' and captains
of industry convict garb.
Though President Roosevelt is desir-
Gus of placating high finance" he is
a shrewd enough politician to perceive
that the time is inopportune to undo
the work that has been done to curb
greed and shackle cunning--M ilwau-

FLOOD CONDiTIONI IN SOUTHERN
KANSAS AUGMENTED BY
FURTHER RAINS.
PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL BE IMMENSE
BRIDGES WASHED OUT, CROPS
DAMAGED AND TRAFFIC
INTERRUPTED.

Kansas City. June 6.-Further rains
have fallen in Southern Kansas and
the flood conditions in the valley of
the Neosho and Cottonwood rivers
continues to grow worse. The streams
are higher than at any previous time
In twenty years, not excepting the
rise year ago, and they are still ris-
ing. The Kaw, which caused the real
damage from Kansas City west to
Manhattan In the flood of 1908, con-
tinues to come up slowly at Topeka,
Lawrence and Kansas City, but as yet
no alarm is felt over the result of the
food along this stream.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
streams are also high and in some in
stances have already overfowed their
banks, inundating valuable farm
lands and doing more or less damage.
In Southwestern Missouri the Marais
des Cygnes has done some damage to
tracks at Rice Till and other points.
Railway service throughout the South
west is still demoTaliZed and dozen
or more trains are stalled in Kansas.
The damage already done by the
flood Is immense. Hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars worth of bridges have
been destroyed and
Growing Crops Greatly Damaged.
As far as known but two lives. a
woman and child, names unknown,
who We're drowned at Florence, have
been reported lost. The greatest dam.
age wrought Is in the great oil fields
of Southern Kansas around Chamute
and at lola, Florence, Emporia. Fort

kansas at Wichita and other points,
Scores of oil tanks filled with oil and
many derricks and rigs have been
swept away. Railroad traffic on all
lines In that section has been aban-
doned. In some places the Neosho is
six miles wide and people are moving
about In boats.
At lola the Neosho Is five miles
wide and a foot higher than 1t was

and farm property damaged will be

TO PREVENT ENTANeLEMENTs

London, June 6.-King Edwards ae.
tivity in the field of international di'
plomacy has given rise to some un'
easiness in foreign Office and other
government circles, which finds special
vent In the comment regarding the
forthcoming meeting of the king with
Emperor William at Kiol. The Spec.
tator voices this feeling, expressing
grave alarm at the possibilities which
may ensue from King Edwards Ger.
man visit, saying:
1T is suggested that the emperor
will take the opportunity of his royal
uncles visit 10 entangle us in some
form of agreement with Germany, OF
that even III things do not go SO far as
that Emperor William will somehow
manage to compromise lis in the re.
gion of foreign politics. When we re.
member what happened on the last
visit of the emperor to England, how
the British government against their
will and interests and apparently
without their knowledge were drawn
into the Venezuelan mess and the Bag
dad railroad imbroglio, we can hardly
wonder at this feeling of anxiety"
The Associated Press understands
that King Edward will be accompanied
by a member of the cabinet, probably
Foreign Minister Lansdowne, SO that
the foreign Office will be In position
to keep In touch with all developments
and advise the king on the spot.
