TIVE NEW YORK TRIBUNE says 1t is
reporled in that city that the late AL.
Adams, the former policy king, was
driven to suicide by the bounding OF
newspapers. This aay or may not be
80, but that certain journals seemed bent
upon running him out of the world has
been evident from the time he was, by
public opinion, delivered up to the Keep
er Of the New York penitentisry. de
had barely emerged from thst institution
when the same relentless journals re-
newed their warfare on him. Adams
was then a ticket-of-lesve man; the de-
mands of the law had been satisfied,
and it would seem that the time had
come to call off the dogs. But morsiists
aud reformers are generally relentless,
and Adams was kept before the public
and bis movements logged by clsss OF
people who seem to have an abundance
of time in which to attend TO the busl-
ness of others. When he realized the
great notoriety be had attained and the
fact that he had once worn stripes, ne
found that his wealth was no palllsiion
for the humiliation to which he was sub
iected. He was aware OF the fact that
should be put his head out of his hotel
he would ne the observed Of all observers.
He dared not visit theatre or a church
for the same reason, aud life became
burden. His children, 200, it seems, were
not spared, but ignored and ill'treated
by fellow pupils at schools and col
leges. With no apology for the unlawful
means used by Adams TO attain wealth,
it may be observed that his persecution
was often run into the ground, and as
often conducted by men who sre not as
Cesar's wife. Adams, after all, was no
greater sinner 10 the sight of heaven
than Zsccheus OF old. who had amassed
wealth by the most cruel Of all means.
The Author of the Christian faith was a
self.invited guest in bis house, and We
are told he was received joyfully" by
the publican. Had friendly hand been
held out to Adams instead OF iucessant
insults it would haze been more In con-
formity to the Sagiour's teachings and
example.

THOMAS @. PLATT, senior Senator
from New York, now nearing his 10Th
year, is experiencing in the advanced
evening of life what some Others have
passed through by thoughtlessly enter
lug into matrimonial alliances with
women much their juniois and, nstur-
ally, with tastes conforming to their
ages. A few years ago the vile of
the Senator, who had shared bis joys and
sorrows from tne time she was the bride
of his youth, sickened and died, and when
the conventional time for mourning had
barely elapsed the Senator, who was then
in the pstriarchsl age, became ensmored
with dasbing aud beautiful woman
who, it appears, had already had two
husbands. She had been divorced from
the FIRST: the second died natural death.
Despite the circumstances OF his child
reu. now men and women, he laid siege
TO the woman's heart aud was success
full in his suit. The marriage took place
and the reaction soon followed in its
wake in the shape of jars which usually
accompany Unmatched pairs with oppo'
site tastes. A divorce suit is COW impend-
ing; aud the private affairs of the Sens-
tor are being printed from one end to
the other of the broad domains of the
country. Ancient writers never uttered
a more spt truism than when they 90
served that old men are not always wise
men. 1t seems to have been 90 in Mr..
Plstt's case. Old and in6rm and need
ing constant attention while moving to
and fro, he is tormented with blazing
newspaper headlines and detailed de-
scriptions of bis private family affairs
which he is powerless to suppress. de
is also compelled to tax his vita In Or
der to save considerable portion If
his wealth from his wife and her lawyers.

Insurgents Refuse to Lay Down Arms.

Havana, Oct. 3.-Serious trouble is
threatened over the disarmament OF the
insurgents which was begun in earnest
today. Precautions are being taken by
the provisional government, however, to
see that little opportunity is given the
insurgents to get out of hand.
At Guantanamo the situation is pre-
carious. Two thousand insurgents there
have refused to lay down their arms
Marines are being hurried to the spot to
reinforce the American force already on
guard. 1t is not believed the trouble
will come to open fighting between the
rebels aud Americans, but the former
may take to the woods as bandits.
Many of the insurl ents have offered
to give up their arms if General Des
Castillo so orders. He has rot arrived
at the scene, aad it is probable disarma-
ment will be delayed until his arrival to
give a chance tor his influence to work
upon the recalciirants.
Hundreds of marines are now being
dispatched to various points throughout
Pinar del Rio province.
General Guzman, Guerra and del Cas-
tillo have assured the provisional gov
eminent there will be no trouble oyer
the disbanding of the insurgents.
The yellow fever situation has caused
considerable anxiety. Six cases have
been discovered in scattered localities.
Governor Taft is giving great deal OF

rines as well as having the city gener-

Trade Unionism and socialism.

London, Oct. 3.-One of the most
momentous fights in the labor history of
Great Britain is proceeding at Cardiff
and Swansea, two of the principal ports
in Wales, where desperate attempt is
being made to compel British trade
unionists to adopt socialism. AT Car
diff there is conference of delegates
representing 600, 600 railway employees.
aud at Swansea there is a conference of
representatives OF 52S, 600 miners.
The socialists yesterday captured the
railway conference and hope today to
capture the miners. The socialist forces
are being directed by James Keir
Hsrdie, the socialist leader, who demands
that ali members OF Parliament elected
by the labor forces shall join his organ
ization, called the labor representation
committee, whose programme is pure
socialism.
Of the 81 members of Parliament elect
ed by the labor vote, rs are Hardieites,
and rs incline toward liberalism. These
are called liberals.
The leader of the liberals is Richard
Bell, secretary of the railway union. He
is conducting a warfare against the
Hardieites, but be met with defeat
yesterday, his organization directing that
all labor candidates in future parliameD-
tary elections shall join the labor repre-
sen taton committee.
If the miners conference follows the
lead OF the railway conference, which
is very probable, the result will be the
formation of two labor parties. One,
conservative, led by Richard Bell, the
other radical, led by Hardie. Each
declines to cooperate with the other.
The power of labor members of Par
lament will thus bee lme an almost
negligible quantity. For this reason,
the fight is being followed with more
interest than any other political event
in many years in England, for the power
of the labor members of Parliament is
already causing uneasiness among both
liberals and conservatives, who believe
that If labor is able to present united
front it might soon hold the parliament
airy baldnce of power and compel the
re-alignment Of the old parties into pro-
and anti-labor parties.

Denvcr.-On the ground that new

found guilty of the murder of Gerritje
Hast. sister OF Mrs. Van Wyk, Attor-
ney Isaac Pelton. for the de-
fendants. has fild motion for n new
trial before Judge John I. Mullins.
Sensational in the extreme are the
allegations of the attorney for the Van
wyks, who, besides claiming proof of
an alibi for one of his clients. cites
innumerable errors of the court, one
OF which is n charge that Judge Null
lins left the court room on the last day
Of the trial half hour before the case
went to the jury. and while Prosecute
ing Attorney Ralph Talbot was making
the closing argument for the state. The
absence of Judge Mullins at this time,
the motion states, allowed Attorney
Talbot to introduce into his argument
without objection or court ruling OF
any kind, something entirely beyond
the evidence, which was practically n
manufactured motive for the crime OF
murder.
In fact. Attorney Pelton openly
charges the states attorney with man
ufacturing the motive in the words,
"Van wyl was the parent OF this un-
born child" which are said to be no.
where supported by the evidence.
