"I would isamind] .fche-General,M said Mr. Chamberlain, | "4 that we base undertaken already more - ebligatioa?thhave everJbefo?? been undertaken .under similar circum stances.

There was ?Ood reason for tbis, because they were brothers of the same race, the ^same religion, the same everything, i?? was a civil war, but even in that ease thevNorthern side, that is to say, the victorious side, made no provision whatever either by way cf grant, pen sion, or allowance to the people who ?aad been wounded on the side that had iheea conquered. They gave them tthcir lives and their liberties, and, - after a period of ten years, gave them votes, but di4 not give them any jnox&y compensation. But we. have sene a step beyond that, because we jbave contributed in addition to all our own erusnnous expenses a. very large soia toeelieve those who are destitute ?c our iDew colonies. We have done onored?haa think was expected and we bave done all that we can afford to do, ?ad I think it would be- undesir able for the generals to press us any earrtner in this matter, either now or in writing." "Proceeding, Mr. Chamberlain recip rocated the desire expressed by Gen. Botha that they should all live in peace in future in South Africa. How soon complete self-government will be extended to South Africa de fends entirely on the rapidity with , which the old animosities die out, said Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain concluded with say ing that the Government would be glad of the co-opeiation of men like the generals, who had loyally accepted the new situation.

Senator Morgan's Remedy for the Tryst Evil. Ke Shows that the Taxing Power has been Used to Correct Other Evils, or Alleged Evils. Washington, September 10.?Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, nas made an interesting and important contribution tor the literature of the trust question in a letter, published in Washington, written in reply to a re quest for elucidation of his meaning when he recently, declared the remedy for the trust evilf to be to "tax the trusts." After discussing the power of Con gress to use the taxing power to regu late business matters, and citing the taxing of the circulation of State banks out of existence and the regula tion of the manufacture of oleomarga rine by means of taxation as instances of this use, which had been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States, Senator Morgan says: "Corporations are the nesting places of the combinations that are called trusts, for the reason that the risk of the heavy operations necessary to give them controlling power are too great even for the boldest audacity of those who have large capital and extensive credit, and such risks are covered largely by the shelter that corporations afford their stockholders against per sonal liability. " If the corporations can be con trolled by law, so that such combina tions will be severely checked, if not prohibited,, the public evil will disap pear. Therefore the remedy by taxa tion will be effectual for the protection the people, if it is limited to.cor porations. * - .-c?. "Such combinations among natural persons are treated as partnership? by ;he Courts under the principles of the j ?mmon law, and they are too risky :or the personal ventures of large ?pitalisrs. "A monopoly in any branch of trade >r industry is a tax upon business ihat consumers and laborers must pay, md it is imposed without just right md often in direct contempt of law. 5o that the general welfare is protect d by any laws that can reach the Qonopolies, and especially by laws, ?hich are designed to support and pro ect the general welfare under the Con ti tu ti on. "The general welfare demands the axation of corporations , rather than 0 adcl to their special privileges by tempting them from a just share in ae burdens of government, and this rinciple is acknowledged in many tate and Federal laws. ' " Outside the limits of express ?stricticns there is no power of gov rnment that is so supreme and far aching as the power to levy taxes. "There is a rightful discretion in te exercise of the power of taxation ider the Constitution that is a neces ryelement of snob power, and it lates to the general welfare, as a ecial function of the laws of taxa >n, confided to their protection, "This is especially exempiiSed in e taxation of opium and intoxicating luors, which are taxed for the par se of repression as articles of corn ice, 3?d also for the preservation peace and public morals.

'It is the application of ta? prin ces of taxation that are well settled corporations that have made agree- |t< mts that violate the purposes for lich they were created, to the injury competitive trade and the generai ?lfare.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 11.?The Confederate Veterans of New Orleans last night refused the proffered aid of Gen. Torrance, command er- in-chie:: of the Grand Army of the Republic. Tjey decline with thanks the money to build a home for indigent Confederate sol diers in Alabama. The Army of the Tennessee adopted resolutions referring to Gen. Torrance's offer in the kindest terms, declaring that he 1 ' possesses a noble heart, full of brotherly love," but the resolutions say : J'We cannot accept even this gener ously proffered assistance from any source save from our own people. It is the duty of the South alone, to pro vide for Confederate soldiers who may need assistance. To permit others to do that duty would, in our judgment, be both unbecoming and v,Tong to the Southern people. But let it be well understood that we are grateful to a neighbor who offers financial assist ance when the angel of death visits his home. In both cases we must politely but firmly decline to accept the oner. There are certain duties which a high toned people cannot permit others to perform and this is one of them." Defying the Pubiic. New York, Sept. 10.?President Fow ler, of the New York, Ontario and Western Railroad Company, said to day : "The coal strike will end when the men come back of their own accord and on the terms on which they work ed before the outbreak of the strike. En no other manner can this strike be gnded. We will brook no outside in terference of whatever nature, politi cal, humanitarian or of any other prigin When the men, go back it will be at the wages and on the conditions Detaining last spring."

Big Texas Oil Fire. Beaumont, Texas, September 12.? The oil field is on fire and, judging by ;he great volume of smoke which is lowing in from Spindle Top, there is jreat danger that great loss will be justained, if this field is not destroy ?d. The fire started early in the evening in some waste oil alongside the Texas ind Sabine tracks and burned about iixty feet of trestle. This was gotten under control and it was believed that all danger had passed, but in some way the fire has been communicated to the field and a number o? huge, set tling tanks, containing thousands of barrels of petroleum, have already ex ploded and others are reported as being in the direct line of the fire, which has spread over a wide area already. # The ground is saturated with oil and there is no chance for stopping the progress of the flames tonight. The fire is spreading rapidly and it is be lieved the whole field will be ignited before daylight. A Sad Disappointment.

The vogue of turf plunging and the abandon with which wealthy and ex clusive summer visitors at Saratoga took up the perilous pastime combined to furnish one of the most remarkable features of the racing at Saratoga under the management of the mil lionaires whose money and inuflence have rehabilitated the turf at that resort. As singular as the sudden popularity of race-track betting among fashionable people is the marked change in the attitude of the powers of the turf in relation to that one thing. It has been but a few years since the stewards of the Jockey 'club, backed by the officials of the most popular rac ing associations about New York, took a decided stand against "plunging," and especially against the professional element among the betting men, with the result that even the most success ful of those who make a business of backing horses became cautions, and while they still bet heavily, were care ful to guard as much as possible against their operations attracting too much public attention. Now, "how ever, it would seem as if one of the objects sought by the plungers is pub licity, and there was no end to the sensational stories of "high rolling" at Saratoga since the summer meeting opened, the gambling including reck less play at faro, rqulette and cards as well as plunging on the horses. In this fashionable diversion several members of the Jockey club have taken a conspicuous part alongside the big gamblers among the horse owners, while the professional betters have been in their glory at the Spa, where, regardless of social position, they have had mention in newspaper reports alongside the social leaders who have gone in for amusement or gain through the medium, of the betting ring. One result of the fashionable status of turf gambling is that the bookmakers are looking ahead to a season of uncommon prosperity, their only doubt as to the future being as to whether or not the same people who have been betting large amounts at Saratoga will con tinue the amusement now .that the scene of racing has changed back to New York. One explanation of the general popularity of turf speculation at Saratoga was the suggestion that summer visitors there beton" the races or anything else simply because there was practically nothing else* to amuse them. The buBfeinakers, however;, believe Dtherwisey- and the ringgeneraSy anti cipates great things now that 3&e re burn to New York has been ushered in by the minting of the Futurity, with ibout all t?ste great racing stables of S?rth America collected at one point ind such mes as J. W. Gates,- ?. A. [ 4. Drake, Stete Senator P. H. Mc- j barren, J. G. Lyman, K;. T. Wilson Jr., Frank FarreH, Charle? ElSson, Fohn W. Schorr, and G. E. Saith imong the big ring operatore on hand 10 lead the betting, and a host of occa sional big betters present to take a 'flier" whenever the impulse moves mem. Of the division of " occasional plungers" that the season has brought into prominence- the most conspicuous it Saratoga have been J. G. Follaae aee, Harry Payne Whitney,. Hv B. Dnryea, John Sanford, L. Waterfoery h E. Madden, and Julius Fleiscftman. The professional plungers also* were xsceedingly busy at Saratoga;, and prospered so well! that about all ace in attendance at Sheepshead Bay. Of this latter division the best known on? the mr* are Pittsbuag Phih (G? E. Smith, ) David Gideon, J. E. Mfe?on iIoV M. F. Dwyer, Charles Bl?st?, ind the comparatively new Conner, ?ofan Stanley of Pittsburg, who al ready has achieved a great degree of success and who was the man behind some of the moat sensational' coops lehiered at Saratoga. First place among tbe plunges of ;be east and therefore of the American ;urf for the present season, however, Delongs undispu?ab?y to State Seaator Patrick H. McCarren, who maintains fairly formidable stable of race worses. There are bigger and better stables than tike McCarren string, bat there are ns> horses backed more teaxily or with better results^ than the rame lot of animals. Senator Mc Carren has bc& two or three hotses in [lis barn that are regarded as of stake ignality, but sf his selling platers can win for him. he is satisfied, and though he is as ready as any man on. the turf to buy a good horse and p?y a good price for him ?be politi ciani turfman so faf has not made the mistake of trying ko accomplish impossi bLl?f?es.?New York Times.

All of the indicted Legislators Want to Turn State's Evidence. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 11.?The prin cipal iteras of interest today in connec tion with the investigation by Circuit Attorney Folk into the alleged boodle combines in both branches^of the muni cipal assembly, were the return of Former Delegate tVm. Tamblyn from Cleveland in the custody of an officer, and the sessions of the grand jury. Before being placed in a cell, Tamblyn asked to see Mr. Folk. His intention was to tels all he knew about the doings of the combine in the house of delegates ; but be finally decided not to say anything at this time for the circuit attorney told Tamblyn that if be desired to make any statements about matters that were being investigated he must do so voluntarily without hope of clemency. Mr. Folk said that he had ali the evidence needed to convict the mem bers of the house combine. In a statement today, Circuit Attor ney Folk said that almost every one of the?ndicted members of the house of delegates combine had offered to turn State's evidence, but he declined to accept more than two or three with a promise of clemency. Before J. K. MurrelPs return and confession the members of the combine, Mr. Folk said, were so sure of their position that offers of the authorities to take care of the informers were spurned. Now the sitnation is different. The grand jury held two sessions to day. At each session several members of the council that passed the city lighting bill in 1899 were called on to tell what they knew of the transactions connected with the defeat and passage of such measures. All day long rumors were rife that indictments would be found soon against memebrs of the council com bine, but the graod jury adjourned until tomorrow without taking any snch action. There was a flurry of excitement when the grand jury adjourned for lunch and four of the members cf the city council'were detailed. It looked as if they were to be held as priso3ersr but this detention was explained1 when adjournment was taken for the night and they were released. The district ' attorney stated that theia- detention j was merely for the purpose of haviag I tbem as? hand for the opening of the afternoon session of the gsand jury, Mir.
