Washington, Oct. 15.-In response

to determining whether the company
Is operating in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law, Attorney General
Moody said he was not at liberty to
discuss the subject beyond stating
that most of the rumors published re-
Gently in regard to the matter were
without foundation. He added, how
ever, that Messrs Morrison and Kel-
logg, who were appointed some
months ago as special assistants to
the attorney general to investigate the
Standard OIL methods, were prescott
ing their work with commendable
vigor and care and had accumulated a
vast amount of testimony bearing
upon the case.
This testimony was now being gone
over by the department and it was
quite likely that definite conclusion
would be reached within the next few
weeks as to whether there had or had
not been violations of the antitrust
: law. 1t is we'll understood that Attor-
ney General Moody is to retire from
the cabinet and resume his law prac-
t1ce In Boston on Jan. 1 and it is
stated that he himself fully intends
to take the personal responsibility be-
fore he retires of melting proceedings
against the Standard Oil company or
of publicly stating that in his judg-
ment such proceedings could not be
justified by the facts obtained.

TAFT REPLIES TO REBELS.
United States Not Ready to Announce
Date Of Withdrawal,


Havana, Oct. 15.-The United States,
through it's peace commissioner, Is not
ready to announce when it will with
draw from the island of Cuba and sur
render the reins Of government to the
Cubans.
The statement was made by Gov
ernor Taft as sort of valedictOry
address to the revolutionists' commit
tee with which the American commits
sioners dealt in inducing the rebels to
cease hostilities and negotiate peace.
Headed by Alfredo Zayas the COM
mittee visited Governor Taft for the
avowed purpose of requesting him to
declare the policy of the United
States toward Cuba and the policy of
the provisional government concern
ing appointments to public Office .
Governor Taft replied pointedly that
he could not outline the policy of the
United States more clearly than was
done In his proclamation establishing
a provisional government for the ISL
and.
Governor Taft would not predict
when satisfactory condition would be
reached, but he said the Cubans them
selves could hasten that time If they
were disposed to do SO. A fair and
honest election, on the results of which
the Cuban people were willing to
abide, Governor Taft declared, was
necessary before the United States
would feel justified in withdrawing
from the island.

Sherman of Melrose, N. Y, an oiler OF
the Saratoga, was killed and George
Horton of New York city, clerk on the
Adirondack, is missing. The collision
occurred in dense fog which prevent
ed the pilots of either boat from see
ing the other. Both, it is thought
missed their bearings.
The Saratoga sustained the greater
damage. The Adirondack was ON her
way to Albany and the Saratoga was
en- route to New York. The Adiron
dack tore off the port side of the Sara.
toga, which listed to port, and he1
boiler went overheard and sank.
Sherman, an oiler, was, killed in
stantly by flying timbers. An employe
named Horton on the Adirondack is
supposed to have been knocked over
board anu drowned.
Many passengers on the Saratoga
were knocked down by the force OF
the collision, but the crews of both
boats assisted in rescuing them and
later they were transferred to the City
of Troy, landed at Tivoli and sent to
New York by train.
The passengers on both boats be-
came panic stricken and only by the
GOODNESS of the officers and crews OF
both boats was heavy loss of life pre-
vented. The Adirondack, after the
fog had cleared, was able to proceed to
Albany.
The Saratoga listed to port and was
hauled to Glasco dock, where she is
anchored. Captain Brown of the Sara
toga at once came to. Kingston and
arranged for wreckers to raise hel

CORPORATIONS FORMERLY SUB
scRlBEp EIGHTY PER CENT
OF ENTIRE FUND.

New York, Oct. 15.-The Repub-
lican state committee up to the pres
ent time has received only one-tenth
rs much money in campaign contribu-
tions as in any year since 1891. This
announcement was made by State
Chairman Woodruff after long con-
ference with George P. Sheldon,
treasurer of the state committee. Mr..
Woodruff said that the falling off in
contributions was due to the recent
law forbidding corporations to con-
tribute to campaign funds and that
the situation which has resulted is so
serious that something must be done
at once. He said that just now he is
sending letters to Republicans all
over the state requesting financial aid
for the campaign.
Eve don't hesitate to say" Mr..
Woodruff declared, that in former
years approximately so per cent of the
campaign contributions came from the
corporations and the Republican party,
knowing last year that the public de-
manded change from the system and
in spite of the fact of it's being the
party which profited by contributions
from the corporations, drew up and
passed the law which prohibits any
corporation from giving anything to a
campaign fund.
while we admit that corporations
contributed to former campaigns I
think the Republican party is entitled
to just commentator for meeting the
wishes of the people and changing the
law to curb corporation contribu-
tions."

is stated, was spent In the purchase

Silveira's activity in the revolution
Is declared to have been due to a
quarrel with President Palma. They

Palma's estate in Bayamo. While
these deals were proceeding Silveira
became Interested In the Tacon the
alter deal, which involved sale to the
government at 100000 above the pur-
chase price. While this deal was
pending Palma found that he had been
badly beaten in a cattle deal and
thereupon frustrated the theater trans
action.
Silveira at that moment became
Palma's enemy and began plotting
revolution Then he employed Jose
Miguel Gomez as manager of his sugar
estate. The government openly per-
secuted Gomez, sending troops and
artillery to coerce people near the
estate to refuse to deal with Gomez
or Silveira The result was the dis.
missal of Gomez, who went to New

gotiations and when the insurgent
leaders took the field he supplied them
with funds.
