Roosevelt on Hearst. Secretary Root declared that President Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst stand as far as the pole asunder. "Listen," ho said, "to what President Roosevelt himself has said to Mr. Hearst and hi kind, la President Roosevelt's first miiemun to congress. In speaking: of the. assassin of McKlnley, ho spoke of him as Inflamed by reckless utterances of those who on tho slump and In the public press appeal to the evil spirit of malice, greed, envy and sullen hatred. The wind la sowed 'by the men who preach such doctrines and they cannot escape, their share of respon sibility for the whirlwind that Is reaped.

Including the amendment of Octolx-r II to clause I. plac ing union funds lieyortd the reach of at tachment, led to some lively scenes. Members of the opposition twitted th ministers with surrendering to the lshor j party. Herbert H. Asquilh, chancellor of the ! exchequer, retorted tlinl the question at Is sue was rot one of principle, hut of nietbrd. He snld he saw nothing dlwhonorable In re ferring to the feelings of those most Inter ested. TV'Br Secretary Haldans also ex plained that It wus not in deference to James Kelr Hardle. the hibor member, that he had adopted his1 attitude toward the new clause, hut rather leetuse there was an enormous preponderance of fe-l'm In fsvor of dulng thlnas In the simplest way. After other members of the government had npoken In a similar strain. Samuel Rob erts, conservative, propoeed to Insert th original clause. This proposal was de feated S73 to 79. amid loud ministerial and labor cheering. . There was suhHequttitly a further scene .

Nov. l.-.Repnrts reewtved at army headquarteis from the province" of Santiago. Santa Clnra and Havana show continuod unrest, although no Instances of actual violence are mentioned. The coni matvdant of the marines at Sanctl Spirttu telegraphs that that town Is quiet, but that the adjacent country Is unsafe owing: to the presence of outlaws whom the rural guard Is apparently unable to suppress. Similar conditions prevail near 8agua La Grande and Guantanamo, but they are with out political significance. T'non tho recommendation of the chief surgeon, and for the purpose of Insuring sanitary conditions In garrisoned towns, the medical officer attached to each com marnl has been ordered to act aa a member of the municipal board of health. Governor Magoon. acting upon the. recommendation of the head of the Department of Agri culture, has notified the authorities of ihfl Jamestown exposition that Cul will be unable to participate therein.

The agreement will be framed up with the principle of free com ! munlcatlon between all systems but Great I Britain, and Italy will sign with reserva. ,,ons d"lKned to protect the existing ar- rangements with the Marconi company. The conclusions of tho conference appear to bo that all the. maritime powers, except Britain and Italy, It was shown, would join, except for their contracts, which may, it . was Intimated, be bought off by nego tiation with tha Marconi company. In the meantime, until the expiration of the con tracts. Great Britain will not allow other companies to put up coast station. The nuval and military stations of all the powers art naturally excluded from the convention, and also any government may exclude a station open to public busl nea.

Moody said that he was Investigating "tho great and powerful coal and oil combina tions," and that If he found evidence of Illegal combination he would "proceed with out regard to personal or political conse quences." Mr. Moody said: , A few weeks ago Mi. itryau sxtri that the trusts were the paramount Issue. I am not quite sure that he is nol rlgnt. He expressly congratulated President Roose velt on the step he hsa taken on the en forcement of antl-trunt laws. We are In the midst of areat Industrial activities and prosperity. Ureal evils are arising out of this condition and President Hoosevelt Is determined to remedy It. If a remedy can be found. The great industries aro no lonfrcr eon ducted by the Individual, but by oigxnixed capital. Organized capital In modern In dustries la a necessity. The organlxation of labnivand the organization of capital are here to stay, but we have the right to ask both that they should obey the laws of the land. Combinations Ueatroy Trade. When the combination of wealth ob tains great power, as It will. It destroys the Individual Initiative, disturbs the nor mal growth of commerce and sometimes the government. I yself have seen writ-; ten on a sheet of paper the prica of killing off of a competition. I have seen the cost of driving out of business the hold Inde pendent and the division among all the confederates. It Is not wise that the peo ple let any combination like this exist. The attorney general continued: Mr. Havemeyer, the sugar man, says that the tariff Is the mother of trusts. It t is not the tariff that is the mother of truBts It is the railroad rebate that Is the mother of trusts and of Its collateral relatives. Mr. Moody, who we" speaking particu larly for the re-election of Representative Augustus P. Gardiner In the Sixth Massa chusetts district, explained that he was there at the expressed and earnest request of President Roosevelt. He added: 'The president has made It manifest th.it It la his earnest desire that the republican nomlnesn should be elected and that the next house of representatives should be tn harmony with him." After pointing out the results that would follow the election of a democratic house the attorney general aald: "Can any sane man doubt, under such circumstances, that the whole power of the house of representatives would he exerted to thtrart the . president In the measures whlch he proponed and to render the rest of hi" term of office entirely insignificant?"

Some Questions lor Colonel Bryan to Answer William Jennings Bryan is now engaged in a campaign speaking tcur of Nebraska. While addressing the voters at different points the taxpaylng citizens would like to have him answer a few questions that are specially pertinent and timely: Do you approve of the deal, which your brother-iu- law, T. S. Allen, chairman of the democratic state commit tee, has made with the tax shirking railroads to line all, the democratic legislative candidates up against the taxa tion of railway terminal for municipal purposes the saniv as other city property? Are you tn favor of compelling the railroads to pay city taxes on their property within limitn of municipal corporations, or ia favor of the continuance of the presont system by which they escape paying city ta:ces almost en tirely? Does your declaration that no one connected directly or indirectly with privilege seeking corporation shoul l have any place in the councils of the resentative of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the use of partnership stationer' In sending out democratic cam paign literature? ( Will you use your influence next winter to get the democrats in the legislature to join with the republicans to force the railroads to pay their full share of city taxes, irrespective of any promises inuda to the railroads by your brother-in-law.

George L. Sholdon, republican candKlalo for governor of Nebraska, addressed a largo audience last night In Southslde Turners' hall on the Issue of tho cam paign. Tho address was devoted mainly to the subjects of equitable taxation and railway nun legislation, and his arguments on these topics were convincing, his hear ers Rfialn and again expressing their ap proval with cries of "that's so," "that s riant." and "you'lW do It." Mr. Sheldon tore tho democratic stock arguments to shreds and made ridiculous their talk of the enforcement of a maximum rate law When he stoprwxl there were shouts of "go on." and the enthusiasm he created did not die with his departure from tho plat form, for the audience was Just "s eager to hear John L. Kennedy and also took much Interest In the remarks of the leg islative candidates, who talked afterwards. "The railroads have always charged and are charging whatever rate they like," said Mr. Sheldon, "and the rntes In Nebraska are higher than they ere In other states. It costs 20 cents more to ship loo pounds of freight from Omaha to Alliance than from Chicago to Omaha. Freight rates are 1UI per cent higher In Nebraska than they are just across th river In Iowa: the rates on corn In Iowa are Just half what they are li Nebraska.
