Trust Bill.

WASHINGTON, May lin the senate to-
day Senator JEFF Davis Of Arkansas moved

about two hours, reading most Of the time
from a typewritten statement, which he
said he had prepared in advance that no
Incorporate language might escape his
lips on this occasion" thing which he
said he had never done before.
During his speech he roundly denounced
the trusts commended tine presidents =

lief. spoke OF the removal Of the motto
In God We Trust" from the coins and
declared that John D. Rockefeller, the
Standard oil company and ]. Pierpont Nor
gan should be indicted for treason. He
also paid his respects TO the press, his re-
marks in that connection being as follows:
Let scavengers OF plutocracy howl; truth.
Gods living truth-where are the defenders
Miserable travesties upon noble manhood,
post graduates in all arts of SANDER or
defamation. I challenge the subsidized
press; the people know your designs and
spurn your pretense. whether under show
of argument or more servient hypocrasies.

utterance. Not satisfied, il such be your
brutal frenzy, lash my poor form into in

ident's Disease.

report in financial circles, emansting from

for the season ten days ago. His wife and
children are the only other guests.

attendance and a small staff OF servants
has been retained to look after the Cleve-
land family. Efforts to confirm the Even
ing Worlds statement that Mr.. Cleveland
Is suffering from cancer and that his con
dition Is critical are unsvailinE owing 10
the extreme reticence observed by all con-
nected with the case since the beginning
OF the former presidents illness.
When Dr. Bryant. who has been Mr.
Cleveland's physician for years. was asked
whether It was correct that his patient
illness had been diagnosed as cancer OF
the stomach. replied:
Mr.. Cleveland is all right. There is
nothing l can tell you Of any interest"
At the Lakewood hotel today It was said
that Mr. Cleveland was making very sat
isfactory progress and that there was nc
material change in his condition. The re-
port that the former presidents case has
assumed a grave aspect was denied.
Later DR.. Bryant said that he could not,
as a physician. make public the diagnosis
in the cases Of any of his patients. He
added: Il have received favorable reports
from Lakewood and l expect to take a
train for there late this afternoon"
