SUES FOR OVER MILLION.
international Harvester Company Sued By Attorney General Rogers
 Under Antitrust Law.

Little Rock Oct. IS. he jumbo of all the antitrust suits under the law enacted by ai;.c last legislature, the celebratc C King-Davis-Logan antitrust law, was filed yesterday evening l.. Pulaski circuit court by Attorney General Rogers, Campbell & Ste venson and w. L. Terry.
 There are two suits, although they a,e practically the same thing, against the International Harvester Company, and the h. ternational Harvester Company of America. Each suit is for a penalty of $855, ,000, or a total of $1, ,710,000, which is the aggre- gate penalty for doing business in the state for a period of 170 days in violation of the antitrust act.
 Heretofore these suits have been for fractional millions, but the state is becoming more am- bilious in it's announced purpose to "bust the trusts.

AMERICANS ON ISLE OF PINES.
Provisions Of the Bill Introduced by
Mr., Richardson.

The situation II regard to the Isle of
Pines recalls the fact that at the last ses-
sion of Congress an effort was made to Sc
cure a congressional investigation to de-
termine the value of the island as a United
States possession, and the conditions OF the
island with respect to the vested rights OF
American citizens. A joint resolution pro-
yidtng for this inquiry under the direction
of the national legislature was introduced
dn the House of Representative Richard
SON of Tennessee and contains consider
able information about the island. The
bill set forth that the War Department on
August H. 1899, proclaimed the Isle of
Pines to be United States territory, and Is
sued pamphlet descriptive of its climate.

place to make homes Acting on this In
ment departments, the bill says, over 3O0
American citizens removed from Iowa, New
York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Illinois and
other states, purchased land on the Island
and made improvements At the present
time 5000 American citizens have vested
rights In the island and more than U0o
Americans live there.

GEN. cRoz1ER,s REPORT.
Gen. Chaffse Would Send It to Every
Officer In the Army.

The report of Gen. William Crozier. chief
OF ordnance. is SO replete with technical in
formation concerning the arms and arma-

Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff, has recommend
ed that copy of 1t be sent TO every officer

that some fifty or sixty rounds from large

connections. born On the islands, and eager
for the best interests of their birthland."
Now, this is ascribing to these good people
far too great a share Of whatever Of good or
Of evil sugar-planting involves. The truth,
I think, 10 that they constitute not more
than one-third of such investors and con-
ductors Of sugar plantations, although they
probably exert larger proportion of infiu-
ence therein.
TO arrive at some accuracy on this point.
I have made an inspection OF crop records
for 1904, and of the agencies handling the
crops of the various plantations. find that
there are only two agencies of missionary
connection, which handle only % per cent
Of the whole product. Two other American
firms control "a per cent. One British firm
has 8 per cent, and one German firm 10 per
cent Of the whole The balance of II per
cent Is divided among a large number of
small agencies. 1t is nearly certain that
this fairly represents the respective proper
ton of interest of the different natior alities
in the sugar plantations of Hawaii. Mission
airy descendants and connections undoubt-
eddy hold not over one-third of our sugar in
terests, and other Americans another third,
while British and Germans hold the re-
naming third. Our missionaries sons and
their relatives have done much toward
building up Hawaii and their own interests,
yet are much in a minority. The ma tority
OF the planters, agents and stockholders
belong to quite different classes in the COM
munfty and have always done so.

CHANNEL STEAMER LOST.
Nearly 100 Drowned and Only Six
Rescued on French Coast.

A cabiegram from London last night says:
The Southwestern railways oross-channel
steamer Hilda was wrecked this morning
off st. Malo, on the north coast OF France,
and 1t Is believed that about one hundred OF
her passengers and crew were drowned.
The Hilda left Southampton Friday for st.
Malo, with considerably more than one hum
dred souls on board. Her passage was greatly
delayed by fog in the channel, and when
nearing st. Malo she ran into severe
snowstorm, apparently missed her course
and foundered on the rocks near Jardin
lighthouse, three miles from st. Malo.
The company's steamer Ada, outward
from st. Malo, rescued five of the passen-
gers and one Of the crew. These are now
on their way to Southampton.
A telegram from st. Seryian, adjoining the
town of st. Malo, gives the few particulars
yet available. The Hiida was near st. Malo
Saturday morning. She struck the rocks at
o'clock Sunday morning in the roadstead
of the Island of Ceza embre, having missed
the tide, owing to bad weather and fog.
The majority of the crew and passengers
were asleep at the time. The top OF the
Hilda's funnel and her masts are visible at
low tide. according to the telegram from st.
Servian
A cablegram from st. Malo, France, says:
The delay In the arrival of the Hilda at
first inspired little anxiety, as there was
dreadful weather In the channel, and as
Gregory, an experienced man, who was
likely to exercise caution in approaching the
dangerous coast of Brittany, which he had
known for thirty years.
The disaster was first suspected through
the washing ashore of a body, and the port
authorities Immediately sent out tug 1t
was then learned that the Hilda was
wrecked on a treacherous reef close to the
Island OF Cezambre. called Les Portes. She
had apparently struck broken her back and
Immediately sunk, leaving no time to launch
the boats. The Jardin light is quite CLOSE to
the spot. 1t cannot yet be explained at
what time or how the disaster occurred. The
entrance to st. Malo is dangerous, the cur
rents and rocks needing the exercise of con-
siderable caution at all times, but more es-
pecially In bad weather.
Many bodies have>been washed ashore at
different points, some wearing life belts. Six
of the survivors, according to report in
circulation here. were rescued by the Ada
from the rigging.
The Hilda was built at Glasgow in 1852,
and registered S4S tons. She was screw
steamer Of iron construction, and was 235
feet In length.

leave with pay, deduction being made for
all such absences either from the pay due
or from their shorter annual leave OF only
fifteen days allowed with pay. Among the
1874 of such clerks there were during the
year mentioned above 37T days of absence
because OF sickness, an average of 2.3 days
per clerk. just one-third of that for this
office.
TT is impossible to discriminate Justly
between clerks offering physicians certif-
Gates as to their Illness in such manner as
to allow pay to some and withhold 1t from
others: there appears to be also no diff
Guilty in procuring the certificates. and yet
II scarcely seems possible that the health
OF the employees of this office should aver
age SO far below that of those of the de-
rule of the War Department requires that
cheney rating OF an employee for each three
days of absence on account OF sickness. ex-
cept In special cases. The rule is enforced
in this Office, but, as seen above. II does
not operate to discourage such absences
to the extent which 1t is thought that IL
should.
1T must be stated that absences of the
class mentioned are not by any means dis
tributed uniformly among the employees of
this office; there are many such employees
who are charged with no days of absence
on account of sickness, and others who
have very few of such absences to their
charge, while there are still others who In
each year are absent very nearly the fun
number of days for which they are allowed
to receive pay. 1t would seem that alb
sence with pay on account of sickness
should be more stringently discouraged"

REcLA1MINa THE DESERT.
How Irrigation Increases the Value Of
Land.

That land rises immensely in value ss
soon as water IL put on 1t for irrigation is
shown by a report on the Platte river rights
issued by the Department OF Agriculture.
The report deals particularly with riparian
rights as against those acquired by appro-
priation, and involves the states of Wyom-
ing. Nebraska and Colorado. all OF which
take wafer from the Platte.
The matter OF the greatest interest to
eastern people. however, Is the statement
that the lands classed as desert lands, and
absolutely valueless before water was
brought to them, are now worth all the way
from SO to 800 an acre.
Water rights in some localities sell at s15
an acre annually. The Platte and its trib-
utaries irrigate little short of 1000, 600
acres of land annually. II has been shown
by actual experiment that the water taken
out of the stream for irrigation does not
altogether deprive the country lower down.
Much returns to the stream by seepage. and
in low stages of the river the flow is ac-
tually increased by irrigation rather than
diminished.

This letter is written to offer criticisms
upon the various statements concerning Ha-

ence last month upon the Lake Mohonk

pear to me very seriously to misrepresent
existing conditions here. As 1t Is possible

American Congregational church. largely
led and differed by descendants and con-
nections Of the old missionaries. Mr.. Kim
caid is bright thinker, rather than a dis
terminating one. He has seemed especially
prone to accept statements making against
the capitalist class but without due foun-
dation The capitalists certainly do many
evil things. but one need not attack them
blindly; and l am certain that nowhere on
earth Is there more honorable or benevo-
lent set of these captains of industry than
manifest prejudices against them.
DR.. Kincaid is reported as saying: when

can government here, involving abolition of
the contract system. He could never have
witnessed its working. He most inaccu-
rately calls 1t slavery, because his mental
attitude was such as to hastily adopt the
statements of extremists without due veriff-
cation. l was variously familiar with the

a vigflant supervision was exercised by the
government, which fully secured the many
weak and ignorant laborers from oppres-
sion and abuse from any brutal overseers.
Any such abuse released the laborer from
the obligations of his contract, while the
employer was held against capricious dis
nissal.

Advantage Of the system.


The main advantage of that contract sys-
tenn was that 1t facilitated the importation
OF distant immigrants by payment of their
passages from Madeira and European ports,
as we'll as from China, which no employer
could do unless the laborer was bound to
his service for the usual three years. Since
its abolition hardly any immigration has
been practicable at the expense of the la
borer. except japanese. And with these
there appears to remain some bondage to
assisting immigration companies in Japan.
It is difficult to say whether or not It Is
better for us that such a system has come
to an end, possessing such an element of
bond service. But such an inveighing
against It as DR.. Kincaids is quite ground
less. He misstates also as to the wages
paid, which rose above s13 month to SIS
and 81 long before annexation. It should
be said that the contract laaborer was sup
piled without charge with water, fuel and
medical attendance besides housing gem
orally in very comfortable quarters. At
any rate there now survives no feature of
bond service In Hawaii. and the introduc-
ton of that topic was wholly irrelevant to
the discussion at Mohonk.
