Disouvses Them at 0 088 of State Oampaign in Maine, ' FAVORS SUPERVISION AND PUBLICITY To Do Away with Dutles on Trust- PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 6.—The state eampaign was ended tonight by the re- publicans with a big rally, at which Sena- tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts was the principal speaker, He gave his attention to the trust ques- tion. In opening he urged his hearers to continue in power the republican party. Reterring to the war in the Philippines he said he belicved “the embers of insur- rection still emoulder in Springfield, Graton and Boston.” He sald that the subject most in the minds of men was that of trusts and that the president had recently sald some strong, wise words upon the subject. Senator Lodge said that the president was not at Mberty, as he was, to discuss it from a party standpoint. He described the trust in a technical way and sald that to 95 per centiof them there was not the least objection. To undertake to destroy them by rash legislation, he #ald; would bring on at the present time the most disastrous business panic that could be Imagined. He sald that undoybt- edly the great combinations present cer- tain dangers and certaln evils and that at present the diffculty was in distingulsh- ing among the corporatios He had been asked: ‘‘What are the evils of the trust? and he had replied that they can easily bo enumerated. First and more serjous is that there is a great popular suspicion about them. Somewhere there ought to be some means of a state con- trolling what it creates. He sald this was an evil, because under this govern- ment he did not belleve that anything s creature of the government should be be- yond the government's control. There had been many schemes proposed to solve the trust question, and chief of these was legls- lation. Reckless legislation would be de- structive to property. Would Be Only Punishmen; Another solution proposed is that of sweeping away the tariff duties on articles that a trust makes. He sald that that sounds easy, and would be punitive, no doubt, but the most it could do would be to reduce profit. Some trusts would suffer and Senator Lodge said that he would like to see the Meat trust punished that way. The Steel trust, he sald, s organized to compete in every market of the world, while many other companies having been bullt up under the protective tariff, would be dealt a death blow should the tariff be removed. ‘“You may reduce the profits of the Steel trust,” he sald, ““but you leave it master of the fleld. If you took off the auty on wooieus, the Wool trusi woul probably close every one of fits mills. Senator Lodge thought the methods of regulating trusts by putting them into the control of the public through the govern- ment is the sililest remedy ever suggested. He thought the first remedy is supervision and publicity and the latter is the first thing to In this connection Senator Lodge referred to the suilts against the railroad merger and the injunction against the Beef trust. In conclusion, he said that this country wants to retain pros- perity and at the same time meet the question of trusts. He sald some means must be found to bring them within the law—not to ruin them, but to regulate them, to make the public understand them, to remove the mystery and the dlscon- tent. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 6.—At the close of the state and congressional campalgn tonight the republican leaders assert that they will re-elect John F. Hill on Monday by about 16,000 plurality. Two years ago Goyernor Hill's plurality was 33,000, but at that time there was much more intere: in the contest than there is now, as it was the year of the presidential election. It is gemerally conceded thdt all four of tho republican congressmen will be re- ected. The leglslature, as usual, will be éasily republican, although the democrats expect to make gains in both branches, especially in the house. The principal interest in the election centers In the four counties where the fssue is enforcement of the prohibition law. JOHNSON OPENS THE CAMPAIGN ed to Prescribe medy for Trust Evils LORAIN, 0., Sept. 6.—The democratic state campalgn was opened In this city tonight. A tent with a seating capacity of 3,500 people was crowded. A drenching rain began to fall during the speech of Rev. Herbert Bigelow, candidate for secretary of state, and continued during the rest of the meeting. The principal address was that of Mayor Tom I{ Johnson of Cleve- land. He prefaced bis formal remarks by an invitation to any republican to come for- ward and debate the ues of the cam- paign. No one responded. Mayor Johnson then began his speech, in which he referred entirely to s lssues. ‘When Mayor Johnson had finished hls speech he invited questions from his hear- ers. He was asked as to a, remedy for trusts. Replying, the mayor said that the campalgn of falrer taxation inaugurated in Ohlo would, he thought, remove a great many of the objections now held against trusts, He said that the immense holdings of the United States Steel corporation did not necessarily make it an objectionable corporation, but that justice was not done the people in the matter of taxing its im- mensely valuable ore and other m'ning properties. These, the mayor declared, were taxed at but a small percentage of their value, while the boldings of the farm- ers and property owners are taxed at ap- Peeximately full value.

What happened the day the news came of Prince Alfred of Saxe-Ooburg and Gotha's death was told in his own words “Connaught met Albany, who was a jolly, decont chap and much more popular th: Connaught, and said to him: ‘Look here, you have heard, i suppose, that they want me to go off to Germany and be duke of sald Albany. ‘Well,' continued his cousin, ‘I am going into the British army, and I am not going to turn German.

Tempest in Teapot. LONDON, Sept. 6.—A tempest In a teacup has been raised at Hastings by a report that M, P. Grace, brother of former Mayor Gra of New York, who tecently leased Bat! abbey, near the site of the battle of Hi ings, had decided to curtall the public’s privilege of inspecting the historic edifice. It was said that admission would be granted only one day each week, and upon the payment of 12 cents, the money to be devated to the ald of local charities, instead of allowing people to visit the abbey every day as formerly. The inhabitants of H ings were, therefore, thrown Into consterna- tion, and one paper went so far as to say: “Mr. Grace has evidently lived long enough In London to be thoroughly imbued with the principle that an Englishman's house 1s his castle. Mr. Grace informs the Associated Prese that no change whatever will be made. When the late duchess of Cleveland, to whom the abbey formerly belonged, resided on the estate, the public was only admitted on Tuesday and this rule will be continued. see the show place every day on payment of & small tee to beip the poor of Hasiings. Referring to other rumors that he was desecrating the interior of the bullding, Mr. i “It 18 all quite absurd. Every- thing remains as it is.

ALL MOURN VIRCHOW’S DEATH Emperor Will Sends Family of the Decensed Sclentist a Personal Message of Condolen BERLIN, Sept. 6.—A vast number of telegrams of sympathy from all parts of the world bave been received by Prof. Virchow's family. Emperor Willlam and members of the cabinet sent to the family condolence. The emperor's telegram con- cludes: “May the Lord God comfort you in your great sorrow and may the thought console you that the great discoverer, physician and teacher, whose life work opened up new channels for medical sclence, {s mourned in grateful recognition by the whole people.” Most of the papers today fill many col- umns with sketches of Prof. Virchow's career. The Vossische Zeltung tells again the story of Prince Blemarck's challeng- ing the professor to a duel In 1865 for re- marks -made In the Chamber of Deputies. It now appears that Prof. Virchow's broken thigh joint never healed owing to his great age. The professor himself, as long as his strength lasted, made daily observations of| the wound and demonstrated to the at- tending physicians by means of Roentgen Ray photographs the nature of the frac- ture. PRIESTS ARE URGED TO WASH Remarkable Petition is Forwarded to the Pope by a Well Known Ecelestastic. LONDON, Sept. 8.—According to the Daily Chronicle’s Rome correspondent, a well known eccleslastic has forwarded a remark- able petition to the pope. “In the intercets of civilized soclety and the honor of religion in Italy” be begs the pontiff to grant plenary indulgence to all priests or monks who shall wash themselves daily, with extra partial indulgence to those shaving regu- larly at least three times a week during a ific period. tudents /belonging to Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon colfleges at Rome,” continues the correspondent, “are easily recognizable by their general neatness and cleanliness, but in the Italian seminaries and momastic novitiates the traditional sanctity of dirt holds sway. “In most of them soap, hair brush and Tooking glass are worldly luxuries, excluded by rule, and the clerics emerging there- from perpetuate the traditions. The pope on occasion has evinced annoyance at the unkempt condition of monks who have come in close contact with his august person. Visitors to Italy wiil heartily welcome the innovation.” 'TRAM CAR WRECK IN GLASGOW geable Car Loaded with Pas- s Down Incline to Certain Colliston.

PEOPLE ARE NOTIFIED TO GET AWAY Day Stifled with Hea b Smoke. ST. THOMAS, D. W. L, Sept. 6.—Advices from the island of St. Vincent are that a slight eruption of La Soutriere volcano oc- curred at noon September 3. The outbreak was accompanied by rumblings and caused an exodus of the population from George- town and Chateau Belaire. On the 4th, at 7:30 in the morning and again at 10 o'clock last night, loud nolses resembling thunder were heard. These nolses were accom- panied by electrical discharges from La Soufriere, which continued until 3 o'clock in the morning, when a continuous roar began, lasting until 4 o'clock. This was followed by a murmuring sound which was heard until 6 a. m. In a short time the heavens were obscured by dust or smoke and the scene was something fearful. No- body slept at all during the night. The dust, the advices state, has not yet fallen at Kingstown or Georgetown, but the ats mosphere has a hasy look. Pebbles fell at Baronellle at 4 o'clock on the after- noon of September 4. Reports from Chat Belaire are to the effect that there hi been a heavy fall of sand there, and that the arrowroot plantations on neighboring estates have been destroyed by the sand. No deaths are reported. - Eruption is Most Terrifie. KINGSTON, Island of St. Vincent, Sept 2.—Authentic reports recelved here from various sources confirm the statements that the eruption of Mount Pelee during the night of August 30 was the most terrific ex- perienced. The captain of the French Transatlantic steamer Salvador, which has arrived here, furnished the following: I lett Fort do France at § o'ck afternoon of Au Blerre ar 7 oclock at night was In violent eruption.

The people residing nmear the fire zone have been notified by the administrator of the island to leave Georgetown, Chateau Bellair, and the villages and estates In the northern portion of the island were evacuated this afternoon. There is no telephonic communication with the affected district, the operators having left their posts.

Details of the Destruction. An official who has just returned hero found that Chateau Bellair was Only a small quantity of sand and fell there. An adjacent estate, Fitzhugh's, suf- fered greatly, all cultivation being de- stroyed. The parish is being evacuated. There was no loss of life. Georgetown Is also safe. No onme ven- tured within the fire zove, the BSoufriere being still in eruption. The destruction of the Carib country is presumably complete. The eruptiod of yesterday was longer in duration and more violent in action than even the first dire outburst of May 7. With a haunting recollection of Plerre, Martinique, and the. last dlulllr here, the people converged ou Kingstown and ran to and fro, seeking shelter from the cloud spreading over the hills toward the town, while shocks of earthquake, though not severe, increased the panic.” At 2 a. m. loud, rapld explosions were mingled with the continuous térrible roar, and the Cimmerian darkaess changed into a con- stantly glimmering firmament, llluminated by forked lightning, balls of fire ascending from the crater, and bursting into me- teoric shows., Such a scene the wildest flights of fancy could not have imagined. This lasted until 3 a. m. Dread of T Wa The rumor that & tidal wave was ex- pected caused increased agitation and hun- dreds of people fled to the hills adjolding the town. Superheated clouds rose to an immense height and rain clouds below sent down two showers. At 6 a. stiver clouds were issuing from the crater and throughout the day they moved slowly morthward. The heat was abnormal and there were renewed in- dications of a further outbreak of the vol- cano. Last night there were unmistakablo #igns of Mount Pelee (Martinique) beln; in eruption simultaneously with the Soutriere. GRUMBLE ABOUT THE RUMBLES French People Displeased with Gov- ernment’s Apathy Toward the Martini Disturbances. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Sept. 6.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—Both the press and public indignantly demounce the official sclentific mission, which emphatic- ally declared that further eruptions of Mount Pelee were not possible for a long time. Everybody points to the American sclentists’ warning that the volcane s still dangerous. Another cause of discontent is the spathy of the government, which, this time as before, makes no effort to get definite news, but calmly walts until ia- formation reaches New York and is then cabled here. Everybody asks if American newspapers can bire correspondents and dispatch boats to get the news through, why cannot the ‘French government? Anxiety is Intense regarding Martinique's ultimate fate.

New York Says h plication in mr& A Harvard graduate tells in Tribune this story on himself. “The summer after gradustion I was tra eling alone throygh Germany. Before la ing in the country I had thought that I knew considerable about the language, having spent two years In the study of it, with a finish of Goethe and Schiller. But I soon found that a reading of the poetf or the ‘Niebelungen Lied' did not help me when I wanted to order a beefsteak at a hotel or was Inquiring the distance to the next town. Indeed, as 1 went farther up the Rhine I found myself more and more confused by what 1 heard, and had finally made up my mind that &n American can not learn the German language out of text books, or even by a week's sojourn among the German peo- ple themselves. “I had reached this sober conclusion when I entered cne evening & small inn or ‘gast- just outside the town of Heidelbers.

OLD BREACH ABOUT AS WIDE AS EVER Races Will Not Mix, Even in ness Affairs, and Comtroversy Now Affects Even Thelr Prayers to Almighty. POSEN, Prussian Poland, Sept. 6.—The emperor's personal inquiries into the roa- sons for aggravated public feeling here will probably result some measures destined to relieve the local tension. He told Arc bishop Stablewski Thursday that he re- gretted the fact that the Germans and Poles could not live in the same commun ty withotit hating each other and expressed the hope that the virulence of this feeling might be mitigated. The situation certainly is most unpleas- ant. The Poles refuse to transact businiss with the Germans, and whenever possihle they avold them, and the Germans buy of German shopkeepers only. This boycott of race by race Is relentlessly enforced through a code of opinion that makes one who bresks it a traitor to his people and unworthy for women to epeak to. Each party to this silent soclal economic war assert that they are merely defending themselves and that ylelding means race suppression. The Poles who know German refuse to speak it and French Is sometimes the common medinm of communication. The language question s the omly thing making the Polish question an excuse foy hereditary wrongs and the Poles agree that It is not vivid ough to inspire the present day-fo-day Pray Difeult. What the Poles are especlally angry over is the requirement in the echools that the Lord's prayer must be learned in German. How, the Poles ask, can ome pray in German language? And in this the Polish Catholic church supports the Poles. The administration apparently did not forsee the effect of this order, but it cannot well withdraw it under fire. A violent local question just now is the expectation that a German not knowing Polish will be appointed head of the Rac- sinski library, & famous collection of 30,000 Polish volumes open to the public. The public ie informed that there is not the least chance of the government giving up its determination to reduce the use of the Polish policy begun by Prince Blsmack. It is having the effect designed and in sev- eral generations must win. The Polish outbursts of the last few months are only incidents. The government does not waver. language is rather losing than gaining ground and this consciousness embitters them. The burgomaster, Herr Witting, a German, who is about to leave Posen and become man- ager of the National Bank of Berlin, at & salary of $26,000, told Emperor Willlam when his majesty asked what he thought of the stories of Polish conspiracies and sec- mts towards independence that that they simply were inventions intended to barm Poles and further confuse the sit- uation. EMPEROR MEETS AMERICANS Generals Corbin, Young Presented at Close of Day's b BERLIN, Sept. 6.—Major Generals Corbin and Young and Brigadier Genes presented to Emperor Wil Markendorf parade field, near Frankfort-on- the-Oder, after the parade was finished. General Corbin was presented first. The emperor weicomed him most cordially. Among bis majesty’s first words were hearty thanks for the attentions shown to Prince Henry during the latter's visit to the United States. After further conversction Emperor William presented General Corbin to the empress. Wrile General Corbin was con- versing with her majesty the other Ameri- erals were presented to the emperor. ene was impressive. Emperor William was mounted on an iron gray hors which many Americans whe have visited the parades on the Tempelhot field have admired for its statuesque poses as the troops Sled majesty, and the American gen- erals were mounted on fine bays from the cmperor's stable. While the intreduetons were taking place the German officers as- sembled ifi the vicinity to hear the emperor criticlse the performance of their respective troops during the parade. Additional splen- dor was added to the scene by tne presence of Lord Roberts, Mr. Brodrick, the British secretary for war, and a party in briiliant British uniforms who had been presemted before the American generals. Emperor Willlam invited all the American generals, with thelr aides, and Lleutenant Colonel John B. Kerr, the United States military at- tache at Berlin, to dine with him at the New palace, Potsdam, on Monday night. On the special train going to Frankfort- on-the-Oder was Prince Henry, who came up especially from Hamburg for the parade, arriving in Berlin at 5 o’'clock in the morn- ing. In the royal waiting room at the Fried- erichstrasse station the American party were presented to him. Prince Henry con- versed with the Americans all the way to Frankfort-on-the-Oder, speaking enthu: tically of his American trip and the friends he had made In the United States. He ex- pressed his purpose to visit the United States again after his naval service is com- pleted, but more privately than on the oc- casfon of his previous visit, so as to have a better opportunity to study the country and its people. The empress arrived at Frankfurt-on- Oder at noon, and the emperor and the crown prince, Frederick Willlam, at the head of the troops of the Third army corps, followed at 12:30 p. m. The bur- gomaster welcomed the emperor and em- press. His majesty, replylng from the saddle, expressed his thanks for the town's devotion to the Hohenzollerns. Their majesties this afternoon proceeded to the new palace at Potsdam. The forelgn officers who were present at toda; review on Markendorf parade fleld were recelved by Emperor Willlam, who shook hands with them in the most cos- dial manmer and spoke with each indi- vidually. The review passed off without a hitch. The weather was brilliant and the guests were delighted with their re- ception and with the excellence of the ro- view. A special train bearing the em- peror's guests, including the Americans pregent, returned to Berlin at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Americans will start early Tuesday morning to witness the first ma- neuvers. Mrs. Corbin and Mrs, Johnstoh have gone to Paris, via Dresden. MARK TWAI Fi WINNING.
