RECALLS THURBER RESOLUTION
Eustls Content With Evidence That
New Yorker's Denial of Trusts' Ex
istence Does Not Represent Senti
ments of the Congress.
| St. Paul , Aug. 22. Seattle was se
lected as the city In which will be
held the next session of the Trans
mlsslsslppl congress in 190.1. Now
Orleans was the only other candidate
ifor the honor of entertaining the con
gress.
, The feature of yesterday's session
( Was the animated discussion of the
resolution introduced by William
Henry Eustis of Minneapolis , demand
ing that the address of F. B. Thurber
of New York , which Mr. Eustls' resolu
tion declared was a specious plea in
behalf of the so-called beef trust * '
llmlnated from the records of the
congress. Mr. Eustls argued that the
printed proceedings of the congress
ehould not bo made the vehicle for
disseminating literature of this class
. which , ho asserted , did not represent
the views of the majority of the dele
gates. A number of other delegates
-warinly supported Mr. Eustls , while
others as warmly opposed him. Those
opposed took the ground that Mr.
( Thurber , having been Invited to ad
Iflress the congress , was entitled aa
& matter of courtesy to have his re-
marks embodied in the printed pro
ceedings. After much discussion ,
Svhlch at times became rather person-
Hi , Mr. Bustte withdrew his resolu
tion , declaring Its purpose accom
plished , as the discussion upon its
merits would be embodied In the min
utes of the congress , and in this way
{ he public would bo able to see that
a great portion of its members did
not favor so-called trusts.
A number of Important papers were
presented at the morning and even
ing sessions , ono of the most Inter
esting being Professor J. C. Mona-
Bhon'a address on "Waterways and
Irrigation as an Aid to Commerce. "
I Resolutions Adopted.
v The committee on resolutions re ;
ported late lost night and its report
Was adopted.
No 'attention was given the resolu
tlon Introduced by Colonel Wetmoro
*
of St. Louis , putting the congress on
record as being against trusts , or that
of F. B. Thurber , In which an opposite
.view was taken. , The committee re
fused to consider them and they were
laid on the table. The resolutions
adopted favor the admission as states
of Arizona , Oklahoma and Indian terrl
tory ; call for the extension of the
system of Irrigation for the reclama
tlon of the arid lands of the west ; fa
vor a nine-foot channel in the Mis
eiBslppi from St. Paul to the mouth of
the Ohio ; declare for an Improved

I RUSSELL SAGE ON TRUSTS.
6ays Big Corporations Are a Menace
to the Country.
I 1
New York , Aug. 22. Russell Sage ,
Jn an interview yesterday , referred to
ft published statement quoting J. P.
Morgan as saying that the era of great
x trusts had just begun and that more
gigantic corporations are stored in
ithe. near future , some of which may
overshadow the steel trust. Mr. Sage
eaid : "Whether Mr , Morgan said
that or not , combinations of all Indus-
tries are a menace to true govern
ment. Not only this , but they are
the oppressors of the people. "
"What will be the result of such an
tra ? " asked the reporter.
"In such an event the American
people will revolt against them and
there will be financial ruin , the like
of which this country has never seen ,
or any other. "
It was suggested to Mr. Sage that
It was a general opinion that combina
tions at certain times were good
things for the country.
"Yes , " said Mr. Sage , "when sev
eral Industries are started out In busi
ness , It is well to combine for mutual
protection until the business Is well
'established. When the business is so
established , the combination should
be disrupted and conducted on Indi
vidual lines. Then , If one Individual
became embarrassed , it would not
mean the wrecking of the Industry. "

tons of hard coal within the corpor

'dealers were asking $8,50 a ton and
eome of them wanted $9.

Progress of Mimic Naval War
Off New England Coast.
SCARES MANY AND FREQUENT ,
White Squadron May Be. Able to Blip
In Through Existing , Mist War
Conditions Well Slmu'lVtw Jby the
Opposing Fleets.
Rockport , Mass , , Aug. 2 $
night thirty-six noun had paaspd of
the 120 for the attacking sqiiadrotv un
der Commander Plllabury and the de
fending squadron commanded by Roar
Admiral HlgglnHou to come together ,
The anticipated meeting between tha
hostilu fleets had not come to pass
up to a late hour. On the whole , the
day had been devoid , of marly soueu
tlona. The night , thick and cloudy aa
It was , with the moon quits obscured
developed so many confusing sltua
tlons nnd so many extraordinary re
ports that the Hlgffinson squadron had
just cause for grave uneasiness ,
Somehow the feeling grew that II
would not bo such a difficult attain ,
mont for the three cruisers of tha
whlto squadron to slip In and auchoi
at some harbor , protected as the ;
would bo by the darkness.
Perhaps the greatest danger that
came to Admiral Hlgglnson was thai
of yielding to the temptation to with
draw the Kearsnrffo and leave the Ala >
banm and Massachusetts to go In
search of the enemy , reported to hav
been sighted at either this point or nt
some point along the coast. Such reports -
ports were in foot mado. In the early
part of the night , the station on th
Isle of Shoals notified the noarcet
mainland point by the use of the torch
that a large craft had been sighted
outside the shoals. Admiral Higgln
son's wonderful system of signals
worked to perfection. Almost In a
moment it seemed the destroyer De
catur was rocketed from Portsmouth
to pursue the mysterious comer , and
in a moment the Decatur , with the
emoke belching from her four great
stacks , was ploughing furlousl )
through the heavy seas. The strangoi
turned and fled at full speed and thle
fact led to the decision that she may
have been ono of the attacking fleet
passing onward on scout duty ,
The complications which occurred
during the day in the shape of un
dp.ubtrol news that Admiral Plllsbury
had secretly landed' some -of his oflV
rnrfl nQlinro to onv aarvprl nnlv tn In.
crease the perplexity of Admiral Hlg
glnson's position.
OMAHA MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
Four Thousand Attend Opening Con
cert of Royal Italian Band.
Omaha , Aug. 22. Omaha's third
musical festival was opened last nighl
by the Royal Italian band , with Cavn-
Here Emlllo Rlvela as conductor. So
ciety was well represented in the
4,000 persons present. From the Jap
ancse pagoda through which all pass
on entering the grounds to the last
strains of "The Star Spangled Ban
nor , " with which the concert closed ,
the opening night was an unqualified
success. While there wore nine nntn
bers on the program , seventeen selec
tions were presented , each number but
the last calling for a return of the
players In some selection not upon the
program.

pltal will recover.
Cresceus Trots Fast Mile.
Indianapolis , Aug. 22. Cresccus
trotted a mile here in 2:04 1-4. Thlt
breaks the track's mile trotting record
of 2:041-2. : This was established In
1894 by Nancy Hanks. George Ketch
am , who drove Crosceus , said the per
formance , considering the track condi
tions , strengthens his belief that latei
the stallion will make a mile In two
minutes flat. The stallion had as pace
maker the running horse , Mike the
Tramp.
