Circumstances Attend a
MiIliOnaire's Death.
IN NEW YORK CITY.
LeOnidas Preston Had Enough Hy-
droCyaniC Poison in His Stom-
aCh to Kill Six Men.

New York.-An autopsy held on
Friday by Coroner's Physician
O'Hanlon disclosed, it was subsequent
ly stated, that Leonidas Preston,
millionaire who died suddenly Thurs
day at the Hotel Cumberland, had
enough hydrocyanic poison in his
stomach to kill six men. Coroner Har
burger Immediately reported the case
to the police and detectives were set
to work upon several mysterious cir
cumstances connected with the case.
Mr. Preston was New York manager
for the Timken Railroad Bearing Axle
Co and had an Office in West Forty
sixth street. Mr.. Preston died while
telephoning to some business acquaint-
ances. The hotel physician, who was
called in when Mr. Preston sue
cumbed, gave the opinion that death
had been caused hy a cerebral hemor-
rhage.
Mr.. Preston's wife told the coroner
that MI Preston returned from a busi-
ness trip to New Orleans two weeks
ago suffering from a severe attack of
grip, complicated with bronchial trou.
bles.
1t appears that when Mr.. Preston
died William r. Timken, the head of
the concern of which Preston was New
York manager. Leonard Gray and Ed
ward r. Hewitt were in the hotel of
fee. They had sent up word that they
wished to see him.
Preston answered in person over the
telephone, telling them to come right
up When two minutes later they
reached his suite Preston was dead.
Mr.. Preston came to New York from
Dallas, Tex, some years ago. He was
said to be the sole heir to fortune of
$3,000,0 900 in New Orleans and to have
amassed another fortune of 81 100000
in business. He was As years old, tall,
muscular anj very strong.

REVIEW or TRADE.
Traffic Conditions Improve, Increasing
the Distribution of Merchandise.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Depression in the stock market did
not extend beyond Wall street, COM
modify prices ruling high and general
business continuing vigorous. The
traffic conditions have improved some.
what, increasing the distribution of
merchandise, and spring sales of dry
goods have equalled anticipations. Re-
tail trade is good for the season, and
late buying of winter goods necessitat
ed by the severe weather in many sec
tions has depleted stocks in a most
satisfactory manner.
few trade reports tell of conserv.
atism regarding operations for the flu
ture, due to high prices and tight
money, but there is practical unanim
ity as to the activity of current trade
comparisons with last years figures
being almost always decidedly favor
able. Several wage scales are under
discussion that may not be settled
without further enhancing the cost OF
production or operation, but no serious
strike is anticipated and higher freight
rates have become necessary on some
roads because of increased expenses.

Always to Reqret.

For hundred years we have had
occasional outbreaks such as are TAX.
ing place now. In the years when
protection has scored it's most signal
triumphs the people have often turned
against it, but always to discover and
regret their mistake within a very
short period of time. Secretary Shaw
is the most conspicuous advocate in
America to-day of the economic sys-
TEN which has prevailed in this coun.
try with great benefit throughout all
the prosperous periods of our history
from the days of Alexander Hamilton
until the present time. Now and
then it will be overthrown, but its
overthrow will be only temporary.
Protectionists may be sad over the fol.
lies of those who know not what they
do when they denounce it, but they
can always be assured that no anti
protection victory will ever be per-
manent. Shaw is denounced now by
some because he is the great protec-
zionist to-day, but that may only mean
that he may be acclaimed tomorrow.
He surely will be if the country goes
the length of again taking up the free
trade folly. - Cedar Rapids Repub.

But Half True.

"One of the :.Irst features of tar
iff levied not for revenue, but for the
avowed purpose of protection, is that
it fosters the idea that men should
use their votes to advance their own
financial interests" That was a dec
laration made by Mr. Bryan in his re-
cent Madison square speech. 1t is but
half true. Protection fosters the idea
that men should use their votes to ad.
vance the financial interests of theiI
whole country. There is a Massachu,
setts faction and an Iowa faction, and
here and there a leader and a follow
ing. that teach this individual and To-
cality view of protection. And they
think they are reformers. But the Re.
publican protectionists of the United
States know that this country has
profited through that policy as no
other country on earth has ever profit
ed, And for that reason they urge
men to use their votes in protection's
behalf.-Adrian (Mich.) Times.

FIGHT INCH BY inch.
Attorneys for Standard Oil Co. are
Working Like Beavers to Defeat
the Government.

Chicago, Ill--It became evident
that the attorneys for the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana, now on
trial in the federal court on indict
ments for alleged violation of the Elk
ms act, are determined to make a
strong fight against the indictments
proper. Wednesdays session of court
was marked by continued succession
of arguments in which the Standard
Oil attorneys contended that the gov.
eminent must prove certain facts in
the indictments or abandon its case
The principal point upon which their
attacks centered was the allegation
made in the indictments that the
Elkins law was violated by shipments
of oil made from Whiting, Ind, to st.
Louis over the Chicago & Alton.
1t was asserted by the defense that
the law could not have been violated
In this manner, for the reason that the
Chicago & Alton road does not extend
to st. Louis, but terminates on the op-
posite side of the river at East st.
Louis, III. They assert that the tariff
sheets published by the Alton road did
not contain joint through rate to ST.
Louis, saying that the rate between
East st. Louis and st. Louis was that
of the Virgins Ferry Co. They OBJ
jected on this ground to the introduc-
tion as evidence of the Alton tariff
sheets. Judge Lands ruled, however,
that the ferry company tariff sheets
might be admitted as evidence, as they
had been filed with the interstate COM
merce commission by the Alton rail
road and that the ferry company had
never objected to the filing of it's
sheets with the commission by the
railroad company, nor had it objected
to the rates given

$12 a Ton.

Quite frequently we SEQ in the COY
umns of free trade and tariff revision
newspapers a repetition of the silly
statement attributed to Charles II.
Schwab to the effect that steel rails
could be made by the Carnegie com.
pany at a profit for S12 a ton. We do
not know whether or not MIR. Schwab
ever made this statement What we
do know is that in 1899, the year
when he is said to have made the
statement. the price of Bessemer pig
iron al PittsDurg was $19 ton. 1t
takes considerably more than a ton of
pig iron to make a ton of steel rails.
Either the Carnegie company got it's
pig iron for nothing, or else MIR.
Schwab did not know what he was
talking about, or else he did not say
that steel rails could be sold at a
profit for $12 a ton. In the past four
years pig iron has ranged from $14
to SIS ton. Granted that the United
States Steel Corporation has made
handsome profit on its steel rail
production at SIS per ton, and that it
has occasionally sold it's rails outside
of the United States at less than $2S,
the fact remains that the assertion
that steel rails could be sold at a
profit for $12 is unmitigated nonsense.
A child should know better than to
believe and repeat so transparent a
fable

NELSON AND THE MILLS BILL.
Minneapolis Tribune Seems to Speak
Without Authority.

Senator Nelson, it will be remem-
bered, laid the foundation of his politi-
cal success by voting for the Mills
bill. Minneapolis Tribune.
There is reason to believe that
Knute Nelson has not, for many years
past, recalled with pride and satisfac-
ton his vote for the Mills bill. Serv-
ing his third consecutive term as a Re-
publican congressman his support of
that free trade iniquity was something
of shock to his party. In the next
ensuing election of 1890 he was not
returned to congress. BY 1892 he
had SO far regained his standing with
the Republicans of Minnesota as to
be elected governor. Directly follow
ing the conclusion of his single term
as governor he was elected to the
United States senate, where his tariff
reform propensities, If any remained
after his support of the Mills bill,
have been continuously in check for
IL or 13 years. We doubt whether
Senator Nelson would to-day agree
with the Tribune's theory. He would
be far more likely to express the belief
that the foundation of his political
fortunes was badly shaken by his
lapse toward free trade in 1883, and,
that his advancement since that time
has been due in considerable measure
to his uniform adherence to the policy
of protection. At all events he has
been careful not to repeat the blundel
of 1888.

No Tariff CHANGE Likely.

Perhaps the most strenuous oppo-
sition made to the Republican party
by the Democrats is its policy of pro.
lection, and yet it may be safely as,

NINE PEOPLE HURT.
TWO CARS OF A PASSENGER
TRAIN WERE DUMPED INTO

COACHES THROWN OVER A 25.
FOOT EMBAN KMENT-BROkE
A GAS PIPE LINE.

Warren, Pa.-Train No. 33 on the
Western New York & Pennsyi-
vania division of the Pennsylvania
railroad was wrecked last night be.
tween Irvineton and this place. The
train plunged over a 25-foot embank-
ment and nine persons were injured
none fatally.
The train was running behind a
freight from Irvineton to Warren and
when three-quarters OF a mile from
Warren the freight ran onto a siding
to allow the passenger train to pass.
After the freight was on the siding
the passenger train started through
the switch, which is set from a tower
about quarter of a mile away. The
switch was not entirely closed and two
cars were thrown from the rails and
down an embankment into a pond of
water.
Near the railroad track runs a pipe
line of the Pennsylvania Gas Co., car
rying 200 pounds pressure. This pipe
line was broken and the coaches filed
with natural gas. There were four
passengers in the rear coach. which
was turned completely over and they
had narrow escape from suffocation
by gas fumes. Had the lamps in the
coaches been lighted an explosion
would have taken place. Nearly every
passenger on the train was bruised or
cut and several were taken TO the hos
pital here for treatment. The wreck,
which was in The local yards, attracted
the attention of workmen nearby and
they assisted the injured onto a
freight car and they were brought to
this city
