And then, as Trix realized that there was
indeed no one within call, she exerted all her
young strength, and again burst from her COM
panion's hold
But in the effort she tripped, and fell help

In second the cruel hands were around
her neck, and the cruel eyes looked down into
her own, and the cruel voice whispered in her
ear:
"Ah, would you, my dearie? But old
Granny Muldoon hasn't lost her grip. yet
Will you give me the ring now--eh, now?"
"No" answered Trix, though she could
scarcely get breath to utter the words, mot

from the vise-like clasp.
"Only your ring, my, dearie-your pretty

AL TON CASE DELAYED
Judge Lands Postpones Grand
Jury Hearing to Sept. ).
RECORD TO BE LOOKED INTO
Attorney General Bonaparte Notifies
the Court That the Railroad Had
Been Promised Immunity Prior to
Indictment Of Oil Trust.

Chicago, Aug. 1,I.-Judge Lands, In
the United States district court here,
postponed until Sept the grand jury
investigation of the charges of rebat-
Ing against the Chicago and Alton rail-
road growing out of the recent trial
which resulted In the conviction of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana.
1t was the original intention to be-
gin the investigation Aug. q, but
Judge Lands said he had received
notification from Attorney General
Bonaparte that the Chicago and Alton
had been promised immunity and the
judge ordered the adjournment in or
der that the records of the case might
be looked into. In addressing the jury
Judge Lands said: -.-.. -.
"The court directed the district at
torney to lay before you the evidence
respecting the rates charged by the
Chicago and Alton Railroad company
Of certain property of the Standard
Oh company. Since this direction
was given have received a communi-
cation from the attorney general of
the United States, the substance of
which is that prior to the indictment
of the Standard Oil company the then
United States district attorney made
an arrangement with the officials OF
the Chicago and Alton railroad under
which it was not to be proceeded
against provided it would assist the
prosecution, in good faith, with evil
dence aud witnesses In the matter
then pending.
Grave Questions Presented.
I'm view of this it is the conviction
of the attorney general that good faith
requires the department of justice to
do what it can to make good the dis
trict attorneys assurances; and this
presents very grave question, be-
cause it Is of the utmost Importance
that no offender should undeservedly
escape punishment for crime on any
such plea, as we'll as that even the
criminal may not truthfully charge
the government of the United States
with bad faith ..-
what this arrangement was the
court does not know, but assumes it
possibly may have provided that the
Chicago and Alton company should
emancipate those who act and speak
for it from all obligation to deceive
and mislead the jury on the trial late
ly closed. If this be true whatever
officer of the department of Justice is
charged with the task of determining
what shall be that departments atti-
tude must carefully consider the tran
script of the testimony of those rail
way agents in order that he may in
telligently decide whether the Chicago
and Alton road is entitled to immun-
ity.
whether the grand jury acts in
this matter will depend entirely upon
the conclusions this official may reach.
The jury is therefore at liberty to take
recess until Sept. g."
The transcript of the record in the
Standard Oil case will be sent to At
torney General Bonaparte for examin-
alton and if he concludes that the rail-
road fulfilled it's promises in the
Standard Oil case the grand jury will
not investigate further --

THE PHILIPPINES BANK.

American capitalists have not taken
kindly to the plan for an agricultural
bank for the Philippines and it now
seems likely that the bank viii be estab-
hshed with English capital, as fnanciers
in the United States manifest little in
terest in the plan for relieving the
condition of farmers in the islands.
Ten per cent Is the minimum rate
which the firm establishing the bank
will be allowed to charge and no loan
in excess OF $4,000 can .e made TO one
person. English capitalists have found
the agricultural bank in Egypt sue
ccssful investment and as the bank IN
the Philippines is to be on much the
same lines, the fnanciers of Great Brit
ain have shown disposition to under
take the establishment of the institu-
ton.
The Bureau of Insular Affairs of the
War Department is bringing the bank
fnanciers but little enthusiasm has been
displayed. American firms state they
have so many opportunities for invest
ment in this country that they do net
care to go into the Orient. English.
men, however, have no hesitation in con.
sidering Oriental loans, and it now seems
likely that capital from Great Britaiu

extending aid to the farming populs-
ton of the Philippines, which is now
suffering at the hands of usurers.
