 george F.. Milton, editor and publish CT of The Knoxville Sentinel. has come to Washington to testify regarding the print paper trust. At the Ebhitt he said:
 'The Republican Party and the Re- publican newspapers are in hole. They are honestly in favor of taking the tariff off wood pulp. and, yet for party reasons, they are afraid. If the m jority party could give the papers what they demand without jeopardiz- ing party success at the next cleo tion, 1t would do so, but a tarif re- duction would hurt the cause at this time. To tell you the truth. they are in a sweat over the dilemma. be- lieve the Republicans are badly hurt, any way you look at the question. .
 What an anomalous condition is presented: The great press of Amer lea a suppliant before Congress! It is one time in the history of tegisla- ton when the newspapers ought to be united and, casting sside1 political con- alterations, should stand for the right and what is fair. When the trusts seek to abridge free speech. which they do when they restrict unlimited pub lication. by imposing tax that com pels a reduction in the use of print paper, they should not expect even partisan press to sustain them

HAS THEM GUESSING.

The New Workers. those of them who take an interest in such matters, are puzzling themselves over, the change that has recently come over Mrs. Het- ty Green As is generally known, she ,is not only one of the richest women in the world but one of the stingiest, rarely spending dollar unless it was absolutely necessary. sor unless she saw a good prospect of prontins by it. ID to a recent period she and her daughter lived in a fiat at Hoboken for which they paid only nineteen dol lars a month. and it is asserted that their living expenses were about the same say forty dellars per month for rent and living. A few weeks ago she rented and moved into suite of three rooms in the Plaza hotel. for which she pays $500 per month, and 1t is said that their meals cost about as much. so that the expense of board and eat ing is now about $500 a month. at least.
 This is what is causing many New Workers to sit up and take notice. Knowing her and her habits as they do they are unable to understand why she should suddenly change her old style of living to one at least fifteen times as expensive as she had been ac- customed to. One explanation is that her laughter is engaged to be married to one of the Astor family and that she is putting on a style commensurate with that of the daughters fiance. This may be true, although the young Astor is probably more interested in the Green millions than in the Green household affairs. and would marry the young woman from the Hoboken fiat as readily as from the Plaza hotel. But if the story and the explanations are true one of two things is pretty sure to happen: either she will go back to her old parsimonious style of living after the wedding or else she will not live long. Such an immediate and complete change of life at her age is bound to produce bad results. we should say. At any rate. the change is a matter of wonder to those who have observed it.

DIAMONDS IN QUEBEC.
American Discovers Field Said to be Richer
 Than That of South Africa.


 Toronto Special
 John A Mackenzie, a young American. has just made his way out of the frozen North with news of the discovery of dia- mond field which he has told his friends is richer than Kimberly. These friends say he brought with him a thousand. stones which experts pronounce to be of the first water.
 The reported new field is on the Notta- way River. between Lakes MattagGmi and Shabogama. 400 miles almost due north of Toronto in the northwest corner Of the province of Quebec The field Mackenzie reports to be of vast extent, he having picked high grade stones from the blue clay formation for a distance of twenty miles
 The American prospector and his guide Indian Joe" spent two summers looking for the field. After locating 1t last summer they were snowbound and spent the winter at the southwest end of Lake Mattagaami subsisting by fishing and hunting After terrible privatons tN.y made their way to civilization, expecting to return again this sumfner
 Mackenzie took extraordinary precau- tions to keep his secret, but the Indian guide imbibed too much liquor and told the whole story
 Prospectors said to be backed by Tiffany. of New York, made two expeditions into ths region last summer, but were too far east to discover the field which MaeKen- zie's guide. describes.
