LONDON, Nov. 2S-"Adopt the

will support you in the most drastic
policy if it will give you control of
the situation"
In substar3e these are the real in
structions sent to Lord Mimic, gov
ernor general of India according to
persons close to Lord Morley, secre-
tary of state for India. Up to the
present time the Indian office has not
troubled itself with taking the pub
lie into it's confidence, now, however,
it is plain the news received from Lord
Minto is far from assuring as private
advices from Calcutta report Mimic
was compelled to abandon his propos-
ed tour into India because the police
assured him it could not protect him
from assassination. Government
houses in Calcutta are well guarded
and no visitors are permitted to enter
unless they have special permission.

ing began at 10 last night. and con-
tinued without interruption until 3

port that at least fifty guns were be-
ing used in the battle last night. The
wires are all in trouble so That the

Declares Carnege's Retreat From Pro-
lection Paves the Way for
an international Steel
Trust.
TO INTRENCH MONOPOLY
One of the Purposes Would be to
Crush Out the Competing Com
panies-Strikes Would
be Useless.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Alfred o.
ter to Chairman Payne of the ways
and means committee, declares Car
negie's retreat from the protection
policy of steel paves the way for the
organization of an International Steel
trust. He says: "Carnegie's declara-
tion in favor of the ABOLITION of the
protection of iron and steel is thrust
at the heart of the protective system.
Whether so intended by Carnegie or
not it is impossible to devise clev-
erer plan to intrench the steel trust
as an absolute monopoly in the iron
business of the Unite States. Every
one of the two hundred thousand EN-
ployes would be at the mercy of the
Wall street managers and be obliged
to submit to any terms as to wages
and hours imposed by the corporation.
One menace of the trust supremacy
is the establishment now of compel
ing industries. A corporation with a
thir of the capital of the steel trust
could be made to h--ldle the same
business and account for over capital
ization. This Is an inducement to cap
ital to enter the same business. If
the tariff is abolished the menace OF
cheap labor made foreign goods will
scare the small competitors from the
field, and leave the way clear for the
creation Of an international trust
which could lower wages and increase
prices. A strike would be useless as
the foreign mills could produce if the
American mills were idle"
Crozier authorized the letter to the
president in the recent campaign
which resulted in the retirement ol

ers' bureau of the republican nationa
committee.

Bridges were washed away and houses
carried off.
