DRUMMERS AND _THE TRUSTS. STARTLING PACTS GIVEN BY PRESIDENT OF COM CIAL LEAGUE. Washington, Jane 16 -The iodos trial commission beg&a its session by the examination of James H. Post of Brooklyn, a represen tali ve of the Mciieabauer Sogar company and the National Sugar company of New York. Mr. Post said that as a general proposition he tboaght the American Sogar Refining eompaay bad in2a eoced conditions for the good of the country. 4'Do yoe thick," asked Mr. Roch ford, "thai it would be a good th to g for the American company to be io entire conti ol of the field ?" uNo," said Mr. Post. "I think the estira control of an artiole of coi ver sai assumption, ia the bands of any one set of men wo sid be a very danger ie* power. "Thai ts what the treat aims at," said Mr. Hatchford, "aooordiog to Mr. Havemeyer's owe statement.1' ..'The bask ess might get into the bands of mea oot so broadminded as Mr. Havemeyer," replied tho witness. Mr. Post denied that either the Mollenhaeer or the Natiooal companies vere coaaeeted ia any way with the American Refining company, In answer to an inquiry as to sm da?it plan of selling to wholesale grocers, witness said that it had recent ly been aban GOD ed. The result was in macy places grocers were catting the price cf sugar and selling at a loss. Mr. Post said be was sorry for the grocers, bat it was a matter of little interest to the refiner. The refiners allowed the grocers a profit of three sixteenths of a oent a pocod, which wis as little as they could afford to handle for. Free sagar from Ceba, witness said, would wipe oat American raw segar, both beet aod cane, io the next fire years. Daring the afternoon the commission heard a stare ment from P. E. Dowe of New York, president of the Commer cial Travelers' Natiooal league. Mr. Dowie said the opinion of tho commer cial men at large was that the trusts were a menace to the community. He estimated the traveling salesmen ia tba United States at 350,000. The formation of treats and combinations wi? throwiog a larga number of these mea oot of employment. Io giving specific instances, he said : "The Natioeal Enameling aod Stamp iog company, which depends for its raw material apon the American Tin Plate, company, bas thrown a great many oat of employment and those retained have had their salaries rednoed The great tobacco combines threw oot boot 3,000 salesmen ; the Continental Tobacco company telegraphed the dis charge of 350 io one day; the baking powder trust has dispensed with ali excepting half a dczoa sen. I know of two salesmen discharged by the trust who were formerly ia the employ of the Cleveland Baking Powder company, one receiving a salary of $5.000 a year acd the other $4.500. Their routes with those of other discharged sales men, are covered by one agent at $18 a week. The bicycle trost will throw ont 600 salesmen gradoaliy, and will cot dowe the agenoies in every city; the chair trest will affect immediately more thao 500 salesmen by catting them oat of the Hoe "One mao writes me the Uoioo Bag and Paper company has tbrowo out of employment hundreds of salesmen. "The camber of salesmen oat of work because of the United States Bobber company is 300 ; the salesmen retained have been reduced to a salary averagiog, so em informed, $1,300 a year. "The Amerioao Tin Plate company cut off about 90 out of every 100 sales men. The American Steel aod Rod company, I b*?e been told, discharged commercial travelers in oce d*v. Jo giving these estimates I am oct j considering the office forces thrown out j through treats. Sugar and coffee mo nopolies baye thrown cut 1,000 sales-; Inen ; average reduction in salary ot those retained $1,000 a year ; 25 per cent ooly of the old force being retained io bouse positions. The Standard Oii company employs fewer salesmen than any otoer concern io the mercantile world of ooo half its capital." Mr. Dowe said that the trost combi nations had raised thc prices of the commodities they controiied from five to 100 per cent, in almost every instance, except coffee and sugar. The examplas he gave were : "Iron pipe, over 100 per cent ; tieware and enameled ware ab:ut 33 per cent.; brass goods 60 per cent.; chair trust, just formed, will advance prices 30 per cent.; reeker overshoes (U. 8. Rubber Compaoy) advanced prioes something like 30 per oeor.; newspaper J tc | oent a poood, a farther advance in prospect ; book paper 5 per cent.; and 10 per oent. advance is expeoted io writing paper ; in oommoo soap 25 cents to 50 ceots a box ; flint glass bottles will be ad vanced 10 per cent, or more ; jobbers and manufacturers of clocks have advanced the wholesale prices on account of the advaoce of metals, 60 per cent ; ail metal goods have been advanced ; brass pins 25 per cent ; pipes and brashes 12J per cent ; combs 7J per ceot.; ribbons 10 per cent ; school furniture bas gone up, as well *t pa?rr hsgs SS'* tr-p*sn? r ap*>r." PROGRESS AT THE HAGUE. First Practical Result of the Peace Conference. The Hague, Jane 15 -The Red Cross sub committee of tbe peace con ference met today, Prof. ssor, of the Dutch delegation, presiding. Prof. Louis Reueault, of the French delega tion, explained that certain modifica tions had been made in the report,, meeting the wishes expresser? by his colleagues at the last session. Capt. Alfred T. Maban, U. S. N., declared bis readiness to support proposals submitted in a spirit of conciliation, though be considered they presented a laoune in regard to the position of ship-wrecked men picked op by vessels, finding them acoidentaliy on the scene of a naval engagement. The sub-committee, however, con* sidered that Artiele 9 covered all eventualities. The report being adopted, the president pointed out the advantage which could be gained during the con ferenee if a convention could be signed embodying the important humanitarian articles comprised in the sub commit tee's schedule. On motion of Admiral John Fisher, representative olf Great Britain, a cordial vote of thanks was accorded the chairman, "whose effioient work made possible the application of tbe Geneva articles to naval wars, tbe first practical result of the conference/' A MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. London, June 16-The correspon dent of The Times at The Hague, remarking upon the changed outlook, says : "It now seems possible that tbe oenference may achieve some substan tial practical results and conclude its labors earlier than was expected The arbitration commission is now makiog satisfactory progress. ..Today (Thursday) there is a fresh proposal io the' air, which may safely be attributed to Sir Julian Paunoefote "This consists in making The Hague the seat of a permanent bureau, com posed of the resident ministers of foreign States, with the Dutch foreign minister ac president. It would have the advantage of dispensing with sal aried officials, and we venture to prediot that the plain will be favorably reoeived on all sides and contribute to the j success of arbitrai on." The Odessa correspondent of the j Daily News says : "Emperor Nicholas, it is reported hera, is much disappoint ed at the prospeot of the outcome of the peace conference. In the opinion of his advisers no further hope need be indulged that sufficient success will be attained to warrant the reassembling of the conference. It is understood that neither Germany nor Austria would accept a second invitation." - i i mm - FLAG FOR CUBAN SHIPS. Allowed to Fly That of Uni- j ted States. Washington, Jun6 15 -The follow ing is the order of President McKin ley relative to flags on Cuban vessels : Executive Mansion, Washington, June 16. Officers of tbe customs in the island of Cuba may authorize the clearance, under a permit, for foreign ports or ports in the United States of vessls owned prior to Jan 1, 1899, by residents of Cuba and owned at tbe time of clearance by citizens of Cuba, under distinctive signal and coasting permit of Cuba. 1 Such vessels may fly the American flag above the distinctive signal, solely for tbe purpose of indi cating that the government of the Unit8d States, pursuant to the treaty, bas assumed and will discharge the obligations that may, under interna tional law, result from the fact of the occupation of Coba for the protection of lifa and property In granting such a clearance under a permit, office of the customs will advise masters or owners that the clearance nuder permit and the use of the flag of the United States here by authorised do not confer upon such vessel any rights or piivileges which are conferred upon vessels of the United States by the statutes or treatieo of the United States The rights and privileges of such vessel as to entry, clearance, dues, charges, etc , in foreign ports and in ports of the United States will be determined by laws of the country in which the port may be situated. Such vessel upon entry into a port of tbe United States will be 6ubject to the provisions of sections 2498, 4219 and 4225 of the revised statutes, and such other laws as may be appli cable. The form and manner of the issue of the permits provided for in this j paragraph shall be prescribed by the secretary of war. Tariff circular No 71, dated Wash-1 ington. May 25, 1899, is hereby re ecinded (Sigued) Wm McKinloy. Acting Secretary Miklejohn, fol lowing the promulgation of the pres ident's order, issued the necessary regulations to make the order effect ive. About one hundred miners of the Robinson Company, Birmingham, struck Thursday because an advance of 12 cents a car increase was refused. Xo Reporters Allowed. It may appear incredible that there could ever have lived a politician who objected to having his bursts of oratory displayed before an admiring public. From time immemorial, so far at least as American history is concerned, ex cept in case of solemn secret session, in which, as everybody knows, no business of importance is ever transacted, the portals of the historic capitol have been wide open to the knights of the stub. Yet 'twas not always so, for the rec ords of parliament show that for many decades-indeed all during the great Revolution and for a century after-no reporter was allowed to hear a word of the assembly's doings. The times were troublous. Not knowing that the man he roasted today might not be in a po sition to relieve him of bis head tomor row, the speaker was naturally anxious to keep as much as possible of the flow of spirit to himself. Of the endless gems of Bolingbroke, of whom Pitt the elder said that he would rather read one of his speeches than the best masterpiece of antiquity, not a word remains; of Pitt himself, with the exception of a few orations so obviously padded that no reliance can be placed on them, we have nothing, and in earlier, rougher days, King Pym, him whose unbridled genius gained him the name of the most inspiring mover of the time, Hampden and Strode, are all gena The great mass of these lost orations would throw a valuable light on the history of all time. The Terrible Hamadryad. There is only one beast that will track you down to avenge the death of its mate no matter how far you go. and that is a snake. Moreover, it is the most terrible of all snakes and the largest of the poison ous variety. Its name is the hamadryad. A bite from this reptile will kill the strongest man in two minutes, and of course there is no remedy. No one bit ten by a hamadryad has ever survived. It chiefly belongs to the far east. There are generally two hamadryads if there is one, and if you kill one of them the other will be on your track before long in all probability. Short of taking ship across the gea there is no way of escaping unless you watch for the snake and shoot it It will follow yon for miles for the chance of a stealthy stroke, and you may climb trees or mountains or ford rivers, but there is no way of evading the hamadryad. It is a sort of nightmare hunt to be chased by one, and when the chase begins either one or the other will have to die within a day or so. The mate of the slain snake never makes a mistake, but always kills the slayer of its companion and him alone. This reptile grows to a length of 15 feet sometimes and is fairly common in Malay and New G^iinea. One scratch from its fangs is certain and instant death Mrs. Burton Harrison has called at tention to the fact that professional peo ple do not enter New York society as they do in London and Paris. They are not debarred by any edict, but they just don't care for it and society is apt to regard them as freaks. It is not pos sible to enter any social circle in Lon don without meeting artists, literary men and occasionally actors of good re pute. But in New York one seldom if ever comes across these people in what is known as the "swell sets.'' Mrs. Burton Harrison is too politic to say that the "swell sets" are too dull for professional people, but she leaves us to infer that men of real talent who have distinguished themselves by hard work do not care in this country to be trotted ont for the amusement of wealthy and idle people. Mrs Harrison therefore pays the professional people of America an oblique compliment Bnt it should be born in mind that there is society and society, and the kind that Mrs Burton Harrison is writing about may be the swellest but it is not the most important or influential, in the com munity There is no longer any doubt that the Standard Oil company has held up the British house of commons. It is useless to discuss here whether this is a victory of vested rights or of bloated capital ista All we can do is to observe with some degree of interest that several of the influential English journals openly declare that the American oil king has been too much for the house of com mons One paper sets forth in head lines this statement, which ought to give the very marrow of English con servatism a wrench "Mr. Rockefeller and the American Standard Oil Triumph Over the House. " The government un dertook to pass an enactment against what is known as "murder oil"-that is oil of a certain explosive quality But the influence of the company, we are gravely told by our English editors, was too much for the government. So far as the United States is con cerned, the Paris exposition is not to have a woman's department. Our com missioner has decided against it, prob ably because the French authorities did not approve of it The decision is a healthy one. lt does not exclude wom an's work-it invites it-but it cuts short the sex distinction in exhibition and stops the absurd tendency to make woman's work competitive and compar ative with men's work. Major Frederick Brackett says that the commission in tends, if possible, to make the display superior to that of any other nation, and the indications at present are that it will be. If any of your children should ask you which nation has the largest and most powerful battleship, you can tell them it is Japan.

THE DRUG RAPIDLY ENLARGING ITS CIRCLE OF VICTIMS. ."xiie amount or morphine nsecl by women in New York is increasing a : an alarming rate. " said a physician. ' I do not give the drug at all, save in extreme cases, for I believe we doctors '' are largely responsible for the spread 1 of the eviL It seems snch an easy, mer cifnl thing to relieve acute suffering by ! a dose of morphine, and it would be all right if the patients couldn't get the drug themselves. They can get it. There's the trouble. I "I was called to see one of my pa tients last week. She is a wealthy wo man. She developed the morphine habit two years ago, when she had a serious illness. Since then she has bad period ical sprees with morphine, in spite of all we could do to prevent her. She al ways says that the deplorable state she gets into is due to other causes, but I can tell, as soon as I see her, whether she has been taking morphine. Last week, when I went to see her. she was a nervous wreck and said she had been agonizing with rheumatism. Rheuma tism is a handy thing. A doctor can't swear that a patient hasn't got it. I accused the woman of having been on a morphine spree. She denied it. I ap pealed to her husband. He searched her bureau and chiffonier and found 200 morphine pills. She had bought them all at one time, but wouldn't tell who sold them to her. I "Of course there's a law against sell ! ing morphine except on prescription, but a morphine fiend can always get it if be is persistent, and generally he is so. Any physician can tell a habitual morphine taker at a glance. So can a druggist. The latter reads the unmis takable signs in a man's face and, if ho hasn't a conscience, will sell the mor phine victim what he wants. The drug gist knows that the purchaser will guard the secret quite as closely as he could. But, if a person with no symptoms of the morphine habit wants to buy the drug, he will probably have great diffi culty in getting it. No pharmacist, even if not particularly reputable, wants to take the chances of being hauled up for a breach of the law. "I am constantly running across cases of the morphine habit, especially, as I said, among women. The life they lead when active socially uses up their nerves, and they take morphine for neu ralgia until they can't get along with out it. Usually they are ashamed of the habit and conceal it carefully, but some times they are quite open about it, take their morphine regularly and will not listen to reason. Not a month ago a beautiful young woman showed me a new chatelaine ornament she had just bought It was a remarkably handsome gold case, studded with jewels, and look ed like a vinaigrette. The top opened, and inside were a tiny hypodermic syringe and tube of morphine. I said something more forcible than polite and tried to make her see the insanity of the thing, but she only laughed and told me she carried morphine pills in her chatelaine bonbonni re, so that she would be all right if she happened to be where she couldn't use the hypodermic, which she preferred. I threatened to tell her husband, but she said he knew about it and didn't care. She didn't bother him, and he didn't bother her. I went to the husband, and he merely j shrugged his shoulders and said he nev ! er interfered with hi*3 wife. Then I re ! lieved my mind again and told him ! what I thought of him-and now there is ene family less on my list of patients. "That was an exceptional case, I ad mit. Usually relatives and friends of a person who takes morphine do every thing possible to break up the habit, but a morphine fiend is remarkable for cleverness. A great many women who don't want any one to know that they have the habit-work the physicians for morphine. I know women of gcod fam ily who never o more than two weeks without terrible attacks of neuralgia cr. rheumatism or something else that causes excruciating agony. The doctor is called in and tries to relieve the wo man, but nothing relieves her until he tries morphine. If he is clever enough to see through the thing and too con scientious to help out the little farce, he gives up the case. Another doctor is called in and another, until one pro scribes what is wanted. That's an old. old game. Many a struggling young doctor has thought his fortune made because a wealthy woman in his neigh- j borhood called him in. but when shs is seriously iii she goes back to her old doctor. She only wants the new one to prescribe morphine for her neuralgia. "There's no excuse in the world for a doctor acquiring the morphine habit He knows better. Vet sonic of the doc tors do it One famous old New York doctor used to take his morphine as regularly as he took his breakfast, and. whenever he gave a hypodermic infec tion to a patient, he took one himself while he had the syringe out, just for sociability. I suppose. He never went to pieces under it. but I presume he would have done so in time. "No one but a physician can realize how this special vice is increasing and how serious a problem it presents. As a class the medical profession takes a strong stand against it. but 4 confess i'm feeling rather discouraged. The person who takes a dose of morphine for anything within the limits of en durance is a fool-but the world is full of fools. "-New York Sun For EitKter'or a Yellow Luncheon. A specially pretty dish for a yellow luncheon and appropriate for Easter is made as follows, according to the New York Tribune: Put a half dozen fresh eggs into cold water and boil 20 min utes; then plunge into cold water. When cold, remove the shells carefully and cut in halves either across or i lengthwise, as preferred. Remove the yolks, powder and season with melted ! butter or olive oil, salt, pepper and mustard, adding a little mayonnaise. Return this creamy mixture to the eggs. If for a relish for supper, put the I halves on a bed of lettuce leaves. Ways of Railroads. Io the last March camber of the North American Review, Mr. H. T. Newcomb, a careful student of economic and industrial problems, discussed the question of railway pooling with ranch clearness and force. The following taken from the body of bis paper will be read with great interest by many persons in tbis part of the country wbo are interested in the ways of the railroads : "Io its relation to all other individ uals, and to a l localities provided with less ample facilities for transportation, the railway corporation possesses a monopoly privilege, and, in the absence of effeotive legal restraiot, its charge* are limited, if at all, solely by the requirement imposed by enlightened self interest that they shall not prevent the movement of traffic. In practice, this theoretical limitation is toe frequently disregarded, and the rates prescribed are practically prohibitive. The most obvious examples of this are found in the region south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, and east ol the Mississippi River. The railways serving this section bave formulated their rate schedules in accordance with a purpose, by them freely acknowl edged and warmly defended, to foster the wholesale or jobbing business of certain cities, and to compel the residents of all other cities and towns to purchase their supplies in the favor ed cities, while restricting the sales of the merchants located in the places discriminated against to the goods necessary to supply the retail demand of their severg.1 localities." Terrible Explosion. Halifax, June 15.-A terrible ex plosion occurred this morning in a coal mine on Caiedoni island, Cape Breton. Fire damp is presumed to be tho cause cf the disaster. The loss of life is heavy and more are still missing. A hundred and nixty men were working in the pits when the explosion occurred. It is feared all who were down in the pit were lost Twenty bodies have been recovered. There were many volunteers to help in an attempt to rescue, but the gas fames prevented tnuch progjes '. Wives, mothers and children crowded about the mouth of the pit and there was the greatest excitement. Aguinaldo Assassinated ? London, Jane 16.-A report has reached here from Manila that Agui naldo met a similar fate as Luna's.
