The Trust (me of the Marvels of the
. Age—An Economic Progressive De-
velopment—l'robleln Not How to

Destroy. but Hoyv to Use.

CHICAGO, June 21,—Mayor S. M.

Jones of Toledo, in a letter to The Rec‘
ord on trusts. says:
\ "I wish to say that I am inclined to
regald the great growth of these organ—
izations within the last few months rath-
er complucently.

“I believe in a large programme for
society. I believe it to be our duty and
privilege in this republic to find a plan
big enough to provide for all of the peo-
ple, and I see in the growth of the trusts
an indication of the growing movement
toward collectivism. I believe in broth-
erhood. The trust is the American broth-
erhood, limited. The trust is preparing
the way, showing society the great bene—
fits that may be derived through asso-
ciation in industry and the great eco-
nomic value of association both in pro-
duction and distribution. An invention
that lightens the burden of the world’s
toilets and makes it possible for one man
to do the work of 1'2. is called a ‘labor
saving machine.’ Does it matter whether

the machine is made of wood and iron 01"

composed of organizations and associa-
tions of men? If the result is the same,
it is a labor saving machine. In this
sense the trust is a laboli saving machine.

“The triumph of the trusts is one of
the marvels of the closing years of the
nineteenth century, but they are an eco-
nomic development strictly in the line of
progress, and our problem is not how to
destroy them, but how to use them for
the good of all. Like their prototype.
the labor saving machinery constructed
of wood and iron, they have come to
stay. .

“What shall we do with a trust, with
the continually increasing armies of un-
employed thrown out by these organiza-
tions? I. reply we must organize gov-
Sérnmei'rt (sOciety) in the interest of all,
for the good of all, so that we may util-
LiZe the economic side of the trust.

“Equality of opportunity or brother-
hood is'the goal for which the race is
struggling, and the trust, while purely
selfish in its inspiration, is the expression
of the great social spirit now stirring the
.hearts of the people. The movement to-
‘Ward municipal ownership, toward public
«ownership, toward co-operation of every
:sort, indicates the channel through which
the people are to come into possession of
their own. When they.are thoroughly
enlightened, they will simply retake in a
perfectly orderly way the properties that
have passed out of their hands and be-
come private possessions. The people
will own and operate their own trust. Its
name will be'the co-operative common~
wealth,”

Payment Resumed at Havana.
HAVANA, June 21.—-Brigadier Gen-
eral George M. Randall recommenced
paying off the insurgents in Havana yes-
terday. In the course of the day he paid
80 men, rejecting 40 applicants whose
names do 'not appear upon the rolls.
Some enterprising person, who appar-
ently has a supply of arms, has been of-
fering them for sale at $13_a weapon. If
he continues at this business, he will
probably be placed under arrest. A Com-
mission of leadingCuban lawyers yes—
terday handed to Governor General
Brooke 11 report regarding the salaries
and methods of the provincial govern-
ment, comparing the present with the
former regime. It shows that during the
first five months of 1808, under the Span-
ish regime, there was expended $126,905.
whereas duringr the first five months of
the present year the expenditure was

only $751307. The committee asserts
that under American supervision the

work is conducted much more expedi-
tiously and with far better results.

AT THE HAGUE.
Ten mauses of the Drafting Commit-
tee‘s Report Adopted.

THE HAGUE, June 21.—The Brus-
sels conference subcommittee of the in-
ternational peace conference convened
yesterday, Professor dc Martens of the
Russian delegation presiding. The draft-
ing committee’s report was amended in
regard to awarding greater protection to
neutral states, defining the rights of civil
populations to organize for .resistan‘ce
and the rights of armies as toward armed
civilians. Ten clauses of the report were
adopted.

The report of the subcommittee will
now be presented to the conference, and
it is believed that nearly all the powers
will adopt the new articles as a basis of
instructions for armies when entering the
field. ..

The Geneva convention committee held
a plenary session to consider the report
of its subcommittee. Captain Mahan of
the American delegation again drew at-
tention‘to the omission of an article de-
fining the exact status of wounded and
shipwrecked men falling into the sea der-
ingga battle and picked up by neutrals
or by hospital ships. He also proposed
three additional articles. which were re-
ferred to the drafting committee.

The plenary conference met to adopt
these additional articles and appointed
a committee to draw up a general act
embodying the report of the Geneva con-
vention section. This is the first definite
result of the conference.

Arbitration: In _Nume Only.

IVASI-IIN JTON. June 21.~Private
advices received here from a high au-
thority are to the effect that the confer-
ence at The Hague probably will be re-
deemed nominally from failure through
an agreement on an arbitration project.
that will satisfy the apparently general
demand on that point,’ but which at the
same time by carefully framed safe-
guards will so narrow the field of mat-
tcrs that may or must go before the arbi-
tration tribunal as to make it little more
than arbitration in name.

ANOTHER FAILURE.

 

M. Wuldeck-Roussenu Does Not Suc-
ceed In Constructing a, Cabinet.

PARIS. June 20.—It was announced
late last evening that Senator “'aldeck-
Rousseau had declined the task of form-
ing a new cabinet.

The failure of M. “'aldeck-Rousseau
is due, it is said, to the refusal of M. Ca.
mille Krantz to' accept the portfolio of
public works. which he considers inferior
to the portfolio of war, held by him in
the retiring cabinet.
“’aldeck-Rousseau slate was complete.

MM. Poincare and Guillain made their
acceptance of oflice dependent upon the
inclusion of M. Krantz. The latter, be<
sides refusing the portfolio of public
works, expressed his disapproval of cer-
tain measures which .M. W'aldeck-Rous
seau proposed to take against the gener-
als and colonels who recently inspired a
newspaper propaganda in favor of the
army.

After formal consultations today it is
expected that M. Loubet will again sum-
mon M. Poincare.

The failure of M. \Valdeck-Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly difficult.
Both M. Casimir-Perier and General
Brugere declined to enter the cabinet. It
is quite uncertain whom M. Loubet will
now summon. Possibly he may call upon
M. Sarrien or M. Paul Deschanel, presi-
dent of the chamber of deputies.

‘PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. June 20.—

yesterday afternoon, arrived in this city
in charge of United States Marshal Eu-
gene Nate, his arrival being awaited by
a large number. of people, who had learn-
ed of his capture. He was at once taken
before United States Commissioner Kel-
ley, where he was arraigned. charged
with the embezzlement of $10,000 from
the Cocheco National bank on June .3.
The prisoner, who was accompanied by
John Kivel of Dover as counsel, entered
a formal plea of not guilty and was
ordered to furnish $10,000 bail for his

Mrs. Blaine to Found a School.

CHICAGO, June 20.—Hull Home is
to have a rival in a model school which
Mrs. Emmons Blaine proposes to estab-
lish on the west side duringr the coming
year. ’While the two institutions will
have the common purpose in view of ele-
vating mankind, the model school will
endeavor to occupy the same relation to-
ward the children of the crowded district
that Hull House has taken toward the

President McKinley Surprised
With a. Degree.

At a Public Reception In the After-

noon Many Hundred People Greet.

the Nation‘s Chief Magistrate
and Take Him by the Hand.

,.

SOUTH HAI’)LEY, Mass, June 21.—
chterday was what might be appropri-
ately called honor day here. Mount Hol-
yoke college was honored by the presenc
at its cominenwment exercises of W'il-
liam McKinley, president of the United
States, and in turn it honored him by
conferring upon'him, in the chapel of the
college, the degree of doctor of civil laws.
This is the first time that such a degree
has ever been conferred upon a man by
Mount Holyoke, and it came as a com-
plete surprise to the president. So much
of a surprise, indeed, that he was forced
to deviate from the determination which
he had expressed not to make an address
of any kind during his eastern trip and
to thank the faculty and the trustees for
the honor they did him.

Mount Holyoke, in conferring a degree
upon the president, followed closely aft-
er Smith college at Northampton, the
trustees of which, at a very late hour on
Monday night, informed. the president
that they had Voted to confer upon him
the. degree of LL. D.

The 'president yesterday sent the fol-
lowing acknowledgment to President See-
leye of Smith college:

"Receive for yourselves and the. trus-
tees my high regard for the honor con-
ferred upon me. Mrs. McKinley joins
with me. in hearty congratulations to the
class of 1899.” ‘

The president gave up the entire day
yesterday to the attendance at the grad-
uating exercises at Mount Holyoke. The
entire party left the \Vhiting house at
9:30 on the Rockrimmon. the splendid-
ly fitted up electric car on which the
president has been making the short 0
journeys, and at the station Governor
VVolcott and wife, Adjutant General Dal-
ton and Colonel Morgan were taken
aboard. South Hadley was reached at 10
o’clock. and the visitors immediately en-
tered the chapel, where the exercises
were to be held. The seniors followed
President McKinley and the other gen-
tlemen were seated on the platform.
while the ladies occupied reserved seats
on the floor.

There was special music by the col-
lego choir, and then Rev. Dr. Judson
Smith spoke on “A Plea For the Hu-
manities.” He then introduced Governor
Roger Wolcott, who gave an interesting
address.

Rev. Dr. Smith then announced that
the president would present the diplomas
to the seniors. The president descended
the stairs in company with Mrs. E. S.
Mead, president of the college, who in-
troduced the members of the class as
they filed by and received their parch-
ments.

At 3 o'clock a reception was held on a
platform erected in front of'the local
church, at which the president shook
hands with 2,400 people and then return-
ed to the “'hitiug house at Holyoke.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen
and Lieutenant Governor Crane, who ar-
rived just in time, participated in the re-
ception. Governor and Mrs. W'olcott re:
turned to Boston immediately after the
chapel exercises. '

The Gratuity Favored.

SANTIAGO. Cuba, June 21.—At a
meeting held at the Cuban club a resolu-
tion was adopted recommending that the
soldiers should accept the American gra-
tuity and surrender their arms. Several
politicians objected on the ground that it
would be more dignified to surrender the
arms and to refuse the money, but they
were in a decided minority. In local
business circles it is expected that there
will be a marked improvement in busi-
ness after the disbursement of the share
of the fund, something over $1,000,000,
which will come to this province. A na-
tive diver, while getting metal from the
wreck of the destroyed Slifillsh cruiser
Almirante Oquendo yesterday. found a
bag containing $8.000. half coin and the
other half in Spanish paper money of
little value. .

 

Yellow Fever Remedy Discovered.

NEW’ YORK. June, '21.—-Dr. Alvah P.
Doty, the health oliicer of the port, is
much elated over the successful results
of the experiments with a serum pro-
duced at his laboratory for the preven-
tion of yellow fever. , For the past 18
months Dr. Duty and his assistants have
been producing this serum at the quaran-
tine laboratory and have inoculated a
number of guinea pigs previously fed
with germs of yellow fever. For some
time the experiments have been doubtful
in their results, but for the past month
or six weeks they have succeeded in pre-
serving the lives of the animals, thus af-
fording sure evidence of the value of the
serum in the prevention of yellow fever.
Samples will be tried in Havana.

’l‘he Potomac: Memorial Bridge.

\VASI—IINGTON, June 21. —Acting
Secretary of \Var Meiklejohn and Gen-
eral \Vilson, chief 01 engineers. have de-
cided to invite proposals from at least 15
of thepromincnt bridge builders of the
country for the memorial bridge over the
Potuuac river connecting the 'observa-
for}: grounds with Arlington. Congress
uppi-lgii'iated $5,000 for the. procurement
of suitable plans. and it is the intention
to purchase the three designsand specifi-
cations deemed most meritorious, paying
for the first $1,800. for'the second $1,200
and for the third $1,000. leaving $1,000
to defray incidental expenses. The other
competitors will be allowed to withdraw
their plans.

M. Bourgeois \Vill Try.

PARIS, June '21 .—It is definitely an-
nounced that President Lo bet has asked
M. Bourgeois. who is head f the French
delegation at The Hague peace confer-
ence, to form a cabinet. In response to
the request of President Loubet M. Bour-
geois has telegraphed that he will ar-
rive in this city from The Hague today.
The prolongation of the cabinet crisis is
becmning most serious. MM. Dupuy and
Loc‘kroy both calledupon President Lou-
bet yesterday and expressed their anxie-
ty to be lieved of the responsibilities of

AMERICAN PROMISES Gonoé

Cubans Admire Our Methods‘lund
Consider Treatment Exceptional.
HAVANA, June 19.‘—The work of dis-

bursing the American gratuity to the

Cuban troops continues at Cardenas,

 

. .Remedios, Pinar del Rio and Puerto

Principe. Colonel Moale is in charge at
the last namedpoint. The Cubans are
flocking to the distributing centers, as-
serting that it was only by accident that
they heard they were to receive Ameri-
can money, The palpable evidence of

‘fraud in making up the lists is arousing

popular indignation throughout the is-
land, and the evident desire of the Ame;-
icans to Carry out their pledges excites
general admiration. The Cubans say
this is the first time in their history when
a government promise has been kept and
that they have never before experienced
such considerate treatment from govern-
ment representatives. '

The papers that represent the members
of the former military assembly continue
their disparaging allusions to Senor Que‘
sada. the .special representative of Cuba
in W'ashington. They characterize the
appointment as ' a “direct slap in the
face” from President McKinley. The
Gomez party. On the other hand, say
that the president's choice'in this in tter
is “another, illustration of his exhaled
judgment”.- They regard Senor Quesada
as a man devoted .to the best interests of
Cuba and consider that his appointment
places in’fii'Washington~ "a man who will
tell the truth and save as the expense of
sending commissions there,” which was
the usual device of the military assembly.

The libel action which Governor Gen-
eral Brooke has ordered begun against
El Reconcentrado is exciting general in-
terest, for it is regarded as a test case
under the recent decree.

BLACKBURN SAIL—S}

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 19.——Un-
der escort of the Gloucester Yacht club
and a fleet of nearly 100 yachts Howard
Blackburn of this city set sail alone was
terday afternoon in his little sloop rigged
four ton boat, the Great Western, on his
adventurous trip across the Atlantic.

Blackburn followed a seafaring life on
Gloucester fishing vessels for many years
and in January, 1883, was cast away in
his dory on Grand Banks with one com-
panion for five days without food or
water. His companion died, but Black-
burn was rescuEd, although he lost his
fingers and toes and was otherwise crip-
pled as the result of his terrible experi-
ence.

Two years ago he organized an expedi-
tion to the Klondike. The Great Western
is stocked with provisions for 90 days,
and Gloucester, England, is the point
where he expects to land first.

Germany Will Not Be Bridled.

BRUNSBUTTEL. Prussia, June 19.—
Emperor William distributed the prizes
at the Elbe regatta and afterward dined
on board the Fuerst Bismarck with the
owners of the competing yachts. In re-
plying to a toast to his health his majes-
tl referred to the advantages of yachting,
pointing out that it was a sport_ Germans
could cultivate, because Germany was
“able to live in a state of assured peace."
“We can only do that,” he said, “because
we now stand on the basis won for us by
grandfather and father. “’9 know that
the firm co—operation of united Germany
represents in the world an invincible
power. which has to be reckoned with.
The German people are like a thorough-
bred horse, which suffers no one to bridle
him, but will maintain the foremost
place. May we, with all our strength.
continue, as heretofore, to march in the
van. To that I raise my glass.”

filed the largest individual personal prop-
erty schedule that the Cook county board
of assessors has received. The total fig-
ure was $1,503.000.‘ This action was
taken in complying with the new Illinois
revenue law. Mrs. Blaine expressed the
opinion that the law was equitable and
that the obvious duty of rich and poor
alike was to comply with its provisions.
