to allay the distress which is

ippcal to the civilized world for chartable
contributions.
Continuing, the Generals say that
laving failed to induce Great Britain
o grant further assistance, it only redaIds
for them to address themselves
o the people of Europe and America.
After setting forth how sweet it had

Come Throagh Wleelj Framed La we.
Cincinnati, Ohio. ? President Roose
velt in a speech before a vast audience
that filled the great Music Hall to the
doors, while hundreds stood outside,
reiterated bis advocacy of Governmental
control of trusts, and condemned
tbe proposal to revise the tariff as a
remedy for trust evils.
The President In opening took up tbe
matter of trusts Immediately, and for
a time followed tbe lines of his recent
speech at Wheeling, W. Vj.
The trusts, be said, had produced
both good and evil. They were Inevltable,
and tbe country could not get rid
of tbem. Continuing the President
said;
"The evils attendant upan capitalization
alone are. in my judgment, suffl
cient to warrant a iar cioser ?ujw:ivision
and control than now exists
over the great corporations.
"Wherever a substantial monopoly
can be shown to exist wo should <*er*
talntly try our utmost to devise an expedient
by which It can be controlled.
"It would be neither Just nor expedient
to pnnisb the big corporations as
big corporations. What we wish to do
Is to protect the people from any evil
that may grow out of their existence
or maladministration. Some of these
corporations do well and others do ilL
"If In any case the tariff is found to
foster a monopoly which does IU. why,
of course, no protectionist would object
to a modification of the tariff sufficient
to remedy the evil.
"Furthermore, the products of many
trusts are unprotected, and would be
entirely unaffected by any change in
the tariff, or at most very slightly so.
"The Standard Oil Company offers a
case In point, and the corporations
which control the anthracite coal output
offer another, for there is no duty
whatever on anthracite coal.
"Without regard to the wisdom of
any one of these three positions, it
remains true that the real evils con
nee ted with the trusts cannot i>p remedied
by any change in the tariff laws.
Tbe immediate introduction of substantial
free trade in all articles manufactured
by trusts?that is, by tbe largest
and most successful corporationswould
not affect some of tbe most powerful
of our business combinations in
the least, save by tbe damage done
to the general business welfare of tbe
couqtry.
"The necessary supervision and control
in which I firmly believe is tbe
only method of eliminating tbe real
evils of tbe trusts must come through
wisely and cautiously framed legislation,
which shall aim. In the first place,
to give definite control to some sovereign
over the great corporations, and
which shall be followed, when once
this power has been conferred, by a
system giving to tbe Government tbe
full knowledge which is essential for
satisfactory action.**

a panic and great loss of life.
After the President bad been speaking
to 8000 persons about fifteen minutes
there was a great commotion in

an electric wire had set a curtain on

NEGROES KILLED IN A PANIC.
Tragic CIom of a National Baptist Con.
atloa at Birmingham, Ala.
Birmingham, Ala.?In an awful crush
of humanity caused by a stampede in
tbc Sbllob Negro Baptist Church, at
the corner of Avenue G and Eighteenth i
street, seventy-eight persons were
killed and as many more seriously injured.
The disaster occurred Just as Booker
T. Washington bad concluded bis address
to the National Convention of Negro
Baptists, and for three hours the
scenes around the church were almost
indescribable. Dead bodies were
strewn in every direction, and the ambulance
sen-ice of the city was utterly
uunlile to more them until long after
midnight.
Shiloh Church is the largest place of
worship for negroes in Birmingham,
and at least 2000 persons were inside
when the stampede began. Instructions
had been Issued to allow no one
to enter after the building had been
filled, but the nogroes forced their way
Inside and were standing in every aisle
when the cry of "Fight!" "Fight!" was
mistaken for ' Fire," and a deadly
scramble began to get out. The entrance
to the church was literally
packed, and the negroes were trampled
to death in their struggle to escape.
Most of the dead are women, and the
physicians say in many cases they
fainted and died from suffocation. A
remarkable feature of the calamity is
thnt llttlp or no hlood wn? spon on nnv
of the victims. They were either
crushed or were suffocated to death.
