the commission that it will be deter

general Bonaparte, from the statement
OF facts set out in the report, whether
the government win institute any sort
Of proceedings against Hartman o. the

recommendation are made by the com
mission that either criminal on civil

discussion Of the policy pursued BY
Mr.. Hartman in obtaining and main
tanning control Of the various lines of

presents a fairly complete history Of the

of many of the competing transconti
rental lines was prevented it is pointed
out, by the supreme courts decision in
the Northern securities case. II is
shown by the report that ii has been no
part of the Hartman policy to permit
the properties brought under Union Pa
cific control to decline, as in every case
they are better today than they were
when Mr.. Hartman acquired them.
Particular stress is laid by the com
nhssion on elimination Of competition in
tfanscontinental business among the
Hartman lines, and the commission in
dicates that this is a matter Of large
significance developed IN It's inquiry.
Special reference Is made TO the deal
| hy which Mr.. Hartman secured con
troll Of the San Pedro road and to the
manipulation Of the Chicago and .AIton,
very careful synopsis Of the finana-
cial operations in both instances being
given. Concerning the Chicago ana
Alton transaction, the commission says:
1T was admitted by Mr.. Hartman that
there was about S60,000,00O Of stock
aud liabilities issued, against which no
property had been acquired, and this
is undoubtedly an accurate estimate.

LONE COLONY OF ADVENTURES
ON TRISTAN DA CUNHA, IN
THE SOUTH ATLANTIC.
ALL MADE DARK BY THE SUN
Do Without Bread for Six Months of
the Year and Sustain Life
Chiefly on a Diet of
Potatoes.


traordinary picture of life on that
barren isle in the South Atlantic is
drawn in a letter received here from
4 passenger who sailed from Table
bay for Montevideo by way of the Is
land of Tristan da Cunha
A pathetic appeal was recently re-
ceived in this country for some one
preferably Church of England man,
to go to Tristan de Cunha to teach.
No salary could be offered, the ap-
peal said, as in one whole year only
$25 was taken on the island.
The letter from the passenger on
the Surrey brings news of calamity
which has bereft the island of
large part of it's able-bOdied male pop
ulation and tells of conditions of pri-
walton and misery among those who
are left.
Among the Surveys passengers were
Rev. Mr.. Borrow, his wife and an
other woman, bound for Tristan da
Cunha. Describing the difficulty ex-
perienced in landing them the letter
says:
The coast is very dangerous, and
there was quite possibility that the
trio would have to be carried on to
MontevideO, but fortunately. although
we had encountered many rough seas,
when we came in sight of Tristan, the
weather abated, and contrary to the
captains expectations we were able
to anchor within a quarter of a mile
of the shore.
Two canvas boats put off from the
shore Immediately, bringing letters
which the islanders wanted posted.
Ihey had live sheep, ducks, etc., and
cured albatross and other birds for
barter, also milk. The settlers were
very peculiar looking. With some few
exceptions their skins are exceeding
~ dark, owing to the sun, but most
OF them are of European descent.
The postmaster came on board. He
said that the yacht Valhalla had
brought them word that Mr.. Borrow
would arrive on the Surrey, and they
mad reckoned so we'll that they had
expected us the day before.
He said they now number only GO
inhabitants on the island, mostly wo-
men and children. The two boats
alongside us had the sole able-bodied
male population. Some time ago II
men had put out to sea to fish and had
been lost.

One of the most fashionable Access

young girls, either for the occasions
of weddings or for evening functions
They are exceedingly dashing in an

much more becoming to young girls
than feather or aigrette ornaments
while they are also newer though not
more becoming than the leaf or flower
