Morse Declares He - ls Rhsolutely Bankrupt. New York, May 8.—Charles W. Morse, the former banker, who is now in the Tombs prison under sen- tence for violation of the national banking laws, has not a share of stock, a bond or a piece of real estate left of bis fortune of an estimated value of §30,000,000, according fo evi- dence which he gave in supplementary proceedings just made publie. Morse was at one time one of the largest holders of securities of the $60,000,000 Consolidated Steamship company and controlled three nation- al banks. He testified in the supple- mentary proceedings that he had given all his property to creditors to secure his debts and declared that he did not know whether the crediters had sold him out and asserted if there was any surplus derived from such sales it would only go to other cred- itors who have obtained judgments against him and that he personally would receive none of the proceeds of the sales. Mr. Morse said that no member of his family had any property in which he was interested; that he had no claims against anybody; that he never loaned money personally and that he never kept a set of books.

S St. Paul, May 8.—Boards of trade are not unlawful combinations, in the view of the supreme court of Minne- sota. The decision was handed down in the case of the state of Minnesota ex rel, E. T. Young, attorney general, against the Duluth board of trade, sustaining the ruling of the district court of St. Louis county in favor of the defendant. The court holds that an agreement to fix ‘the prices of commodities by free competition is not in violation of the anti-trust laws. The opinion is lengthy and the ob- servations therein are of interest to labor organizations, as well as grain traders. The decision was unani- mous.

REVISION MUST BE DOWNWARD Otherwise Extra Session Is Simply a Farce. CLAPP TALKS ON TARIFF Minnesota Senator Says the Repub- lican Party Should Carry Out Its Platform Pledges and Grant Relief Demanded or Democrats Would Be -Put in a Position to Do the Work Two Years Hence. ‘Washingten, May 8.—The session of the senate was begun with a speech by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, who commented upon the policy of protec- tion and referred to distinctions be- tween a protective tariff and a tariff for revenue only. Mr. Clapp declared that instead of congress taking up the work of a complete revision of the customs du- tles it should have taken one sched- wle at a time, in which event there would not have been the great excite- ment and the opposition that exists when all the tariff schedules are taken up for consideration. The effective Elkins law he instanced as having been passed with little popular atten- tion, while the last railroad rate leg- islation, he declared, had met opposi- tion because agitation had excited the public mind and caused a widespread opposition and predictions of danger to the interests affected. So the pres- ent tariff opposition, he said, had been provoked by widespread agita- tion, whereas had the schedules been taken up_ separately revision could more easily have been accomplished. The promise of the Republican party, Mr. Clapp declared, was that the tariff should be revised downward, and he asserted that this promise had been made in response to a positive demand. He said that the position on the part of the protective interests was that “we should let well enough alone and on the part of the conm- sumers that the tariff should be re- vised.” [ Berman Emporium The store that gives strictly high grade modern mer- chandise at values that are acknowledged by the public, Special for four days, Saturday to Wednesday, May 12 We here quote a great slash in prices on laces and embroideries.

To take any other position s mere boy's play, nothing less than a farce, and if T did not believe the duties ‘were to be lowered in response to this exaction I would pack my grip and go home, for, as a senator, I am not re- quired to participate in such a farce as the mere re-enactment of the Ding- ley rates. The people understood that we were to have a revision downward; the men who made the platform un- derstood it: we understand it; every- body understood it and no amount of sophistry can otherwise explain the :mpular demand and the party prom- 56, “If this promise,” he said, “was for a revision that would mean the main- tenance of the Dingley rates then we are confronted by the ridiculousness of the chief executive calling congress together to revise something that should stand unchanged until the end of time. When the people made the demand for a tariff revision down- ward there. was no suggestion that these industries were not sufficiently protected. 1f the demand for revision did not mean changing the duties downward it did. not mean anything and we are indulging in a farce now.” Declaring that if congress should fail now to lower the tariff rates the Democratic party would be put in position to so revise it two years hence Mr. Clapp said he did not wish to use threats, but merely to tell the truth. NOW HAVE RIGHT TO STRIKE French Government Employes Form Union Under the Law. Paris, May 8.—Both public sym- pathy and the law seems to be clearly against the Post, Telegraph and Tele- phone Employes’ association, which gave a challenge to the government by transforming itself into a syndi- cate, or union, under the laws of 1884. This action placed the assoclation on the same footing ‘as the workmen’s unions and was- calculated to give it the right to strike against its em- ployer, 'the state. The newspapers, with the exception of the extreme so- clalist organs, are unsparing in their denunciation of the stand taken by the association as an act qf rebellion and they urge the government to pro- ceed with energy and crush the in- surrection before the movement en- gulfs the other state employes. Evidence accumulates that the for- mation of this union was only the first step in a farreaching plan of the General Federation of Labor to place the entire machinery of the govern- ment at its mercy. The congress of railroad men, at a secret session, decided to submit the question of a general strike to a ref- erendum and appointed a permanent strike committee. GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT BULLISH Causes Sharp Rally In Prices on Ghicago Board, Chicago, May 8.—The bullish gov- ernment crop report struck the board of trade when prices were sagging and caused a sharp rally of 3% cents in July wheat, of 214 cents in Septem- ber and 2% cents in December from their respective low points. Speculators had anticipated a small decrease in acreage and considerable improvement in the condition of the crop and under early selling, mostly of a profit taking nature, options dropped down an extreme of 1% cents in December to 21; cents in July from the best price of the forenoon. The government report, showing a decrease of 8.1 per cent in acreage and a slight betterment in the condi- tion, caused a sharp buying rally, un- der which the market advanced to the best prices of the day. Activity was especially noted in the new crop months, September and De- cember, the former rising to $1.07 and the latter to $1.05%. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

Mercer, Pa., May 8.—Declaring that he had not had a fair trial and that he wanted to tell the whole truth about the kidnapping case James Boyle created a sensation in the courtroom during the trial of Mrs. James Boyle, indicted as “Mary Roe” as an accessory to the kidnapping of Willie Whitla, and was with difficulty prevented from telling his version of the affair. Boyle was put on the wit- ness stand for the state and asked to produce the first letter to Mr. Whitla demanding $10,000 ransom. Without any reference. to the letter Boyle al- most shouted out: “I want to tell the truth about this case now. I want the whole thing cleared up. I was not to blame. The whole blame was on sorie one else.” Attorneys for both state and de- fense, court officials and Judge Miller himself took part in the effort to stop Boyle’s tongue. He finally denied hav- ing the letter, saying he had once had it and the subsequent letters, but that he does not know now where .they are. “Billy” Whitla, the kidnapped boy, was the first witness at the trial of Mrs. Boyle. He repeated substan- tlally his testimony given in the case against James H. Boyle. In referring to Boyle the boy called him “Jonesey,” having been told at the time of the abduction the man’s name was Jones. Mrs. Boyle Was “Mrs. Jones.” The boy witness identified Mrs. Boyle as the woman who had cared for him in Cleveland and whom he had known as Mrs. Jones. He iden- tified a nurse’s outfit as the clothing Mrs. Jones had worn and said she had red spots on her face, which, she said, were the result of having re- cently had smallpox. He said the woman told him to tell his parents she was forty-four years of age and very large. Miss E. Mills, proprietor of the Granger apartments in Cleveland, where “Billy” says he was kept, iden- tified Boyle and Mrs. Boyle as the couple who had rented an apartment from her March 13 as Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Walters. Miss Mills was posi- tive in-her identification of the wo- man. After a conference between Mrs. Boyle and her counsel, lasting about half an hour, it was decided that no testimony would be offered in her defense. Free! Free!
