A. L. Maton, a lawyer and personal friend,
In tolling of his last call on General Har

said today: "Wo conversed on a variety ot
subjects. I had Just finished reading his
nrtlclo on the Ilocr wnr and rallied him by
saying that when bo should go abroad the
next time he would not be an acceptable
guest at tho Kngllsh court. Ho answered
with groat quickness: 'I can go to sen
Kruger.' Ho tnlkcd for a time nbout tho
Prcsbyterlnn creed. He wns the chairman
of the commtttco on revision. Ho took up
Iho Cuban question. Ills point on this wns
thnt wo had placed oursclvea In a position
beforo the world whero our sincerity in
dealing with Cuba could Justly bo ques

statement that tho moral law bound the
honor of nations as well as of Individuals.
Ills reference to tho Philippines and Porto
Illcan matters expressed surprise that the
Biiprome court of the United States had not
yet handed down Its decision.
"Later the conversation turned on trusts.
Ho said ho had very deflnlto Ideas on the
regulation of trusts, nnd believed that tho
problein was ono which wns fairly within
the reach of legislation that would com
mend Itself to the common senso of all
gcod people. Ho quoted at length, from
rntraory, from the articles of Incorporation
of tho Steel trust and expressed n belief
that a, corporation should not bo admitted
to do business In nny state unless It carried
on Its principal business In tho state where
It was organized and was an actual nnd
bena fide corporation of that state, not only
ln.law, but In fact.
"He remarked that many of the great
trust combinations organized under tho
lowb of New Jersey transacted no business
In that state nnd were not Intended to
tiansae.t any business there. Of the gen-
eml conversation these are tho things that
