Declares That Tariff Policy Is the Ally of Independent Capital. - CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—The “Iowa idea” came to the surface to-night at a mass- meeting under the auspices of the Na- tional League of Republican Clubs, which met in annual convention here to-day. United States Senator Dolliver of Iowa, who introduced the subject, said in part: Let us look at the Iowa llea for & minute and I select that only becausc I am more fa- miliar witk it, and because circumstances have erisen to give it universal advertisement. Our people recognize the value of a large oapital for the transuction of a great business, and especially for tho commercial conquests upon which We are now entering. But they both in the of industrial enterprises, and would have the Government of the United States stand between the community and the reckless perversion of the beneficent It is evident that it it were desirable to kill the trusts, it could not be done by merely remitting the duties which their foreign competitors pay at our cus. tom-houses. Nearly every sober student of the subject admits that it was the pressure of com- petition which has drawn some of our indus- trles first into groups and then into gigantic combinations under a single corporate agree- ment. Putting all the consolidations which have | been effected in the last twelve months to- gether, $4,500,000,000 may be'set down as their true aggregate capitalization, including their bonds. These corporations have enlarged our productive capacity by the addition of new bona fide capital in a degree hardly noticeable. They have merely undertaken to dazzle the speculative world by playing upon the popular fancy for full page advertisements. And in nearly every one of them the motive of the | organization has been mainly to shield capital already invested from the operation of material forces always present in the commercial world. If they have fafled in that they have failed in everything, and the power which we have been afraid would be used to wrong and burden the community has not even proved | equal to the task of taking care of itself. Before anybody makes up his mind that the so-called American trust is a permanent insti- tution, let him consider the long list of am- bitious combinations which have already had their affairs wound up by the courts—the al- cchol trust, the linseed ofl trust, the alkall trust, the asphalt trust, the bicycle trust, and scores of others whose very names are now even forgotten. The more I examine the old law of com- petition the better it locks to me. If the day of settlement has alreacy come to So many of these once formidable institutions, how has it fared with those who have so far survived the test? Already the evidence is accumulating from which the doom of trusts can be fore- t51d, even the most solvent and best managed of them all. There is no room in this discussion for vain exclamations of glarm and despair. Up to this time the tariff policy to which we owe the prosperous conditions which now surround us tas been the ally of Independeént capital in its grapple with the modern trust system; but if the day should ever come when the productive energies of the American people are impotent in the presence of monopoly, the protection which for more than a generation our laws have given to all our Industries alike {s not likely to remain to enrich such a conspiracy of avarice and greed. recognize the danger of abuscs, TWO FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE IN A TUNNEL Five Persons Including an Engineer and Brakeman Are Killed and Several Are Wounded. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Oct. 2.—Five persons were killed and three injured in a head-end collision between two freight trains in a tunnel near Cornwallis, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to-day. Sev- eral carloads of cattle were killed or in- juted. Probably twenty ‘cars were wreck- ed, and the tunnel is filled with debris. Fred Pearce, engineer; William Miller, brakeman, and a tramp were killed. The bodies of two other men can be seen in CHOICE OF THE DEMOCRATS FOR THE ASSESSORSHIP OF MARIN. B2 = Cochrane Is Selected by Acclamation at San Rafael for the Office cf Assessor 4 RS Special Dispatch to The Call, AN RAFAEL, Oct. 2—The Demo- crats of Marin County held a con- vention in this city to-day to fill out the county ticket. The of- fices of Sheriff, Assessor and Su- perintendent of Schools were passed at the first convention held here September 23, To-day P. H. Cochrane was nominated for Assessor and Miss Kate Bachelder for Superintendent of Schools. There will be no candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic ticket. Cochrane is a San Rafael business man and has lived in Marin County all his life. Miss Bach- elder is at present principal of the San Rafael Primary School. The convention was called to order in the Courthouse by James H. Wilkins. W. C. Mahoney of Mill Valley was elected chairman and James Begley of San Rafael secretary. The first business to be transacted was calling for nomina- tions for Sheriff. The repeated calls met with no response, as no one cared to run against W. P. Taylor, the incumbent, who was renominated by the Republicans by acclamation last week. Cochrane was placed in nomination by R. T. Cotting- ham of San Rafael. He was declared nominated by acclamation. After appointing a committee on purity of election the convention adjourned. The committee includes R. T. Cottingham, T. the tunnel, but are beyond reach at the present time, owing to the wreckage. S. Malone, A. E. Scott, R.

This evening the Lane clubs of this city with the band and the committee- men escorted Lane to the Victory Thea- ter. About 100 students from Stanford with a band came to attend the meet- ing, and they enlivened things. A big crowd filled the theater. Many ladies were present. A. McChesney, chairman of the County Central Committee, presented D. M. Del- mas as the chairman of the meeting. In his brief address Delmas said the present year was destined to see a rule of. the people and in this respect” he predicted the success of the Democratic party and the election of Lane. Delmas then intro- duced Lane, who was received with much applause, He spoke of himself, giving a short biographical sketch. He said the Democratic party was the only party be-. fore the people of the State with a pol- fcy and was the only party that had promised to do anything for the people. The standard of the public - institutions should be raised and politics banished from them. He favored cheaper school- books by the State. Reform institutions, he said, should -be conducted to reform the inmates. To the farmer and fruit grower he promised to see that one'or two of the wharves owned by the State at San Francisco might be at their die- posal. One of the great issues, he de- clared, was that of irrigation, and he favored legislation which would make the stored-up flood waters popular waters and not monopoly waters. A. J. Rosborough made a few remarks, and he was followed by Delmas. ENJOYS TRIP ABOUT BAY. Maine Congressman Is Shown Vari- ous Points of Interest. Representative Charles E. Littlefield of Maine was the guest of honor yesterday on board the United States revenue cutter Golden Gate, Captain W. H. Cushing commanding. The visiting Congressman, in the hands of the Republican State Cen- tral Committee, was shown the harbor as thoroughly as the many points of in- terest could be covered with the aid of a speady vessel within a six-hour time Hmit. A party of about fifty, nearly all prom- inent in local and State politics, accom- panied Congressman Littlefield and each vied with the other in efforts to thorough- 1y inform the man from Maine as to the most important features of the port. " The party boarded the Golden Gate shortly after 10 o'clock from Washington- street wharf, where they were landed again a little after 4 A visit was pald to Admiral Glass, who escorted the party over the Yerba Buena training station, with which Congressman Littlefield expressed himseif as being de- lighted. The Golden Gate carried the party to the Fulton Iron Works and to the Union Iron Works, where the guest of honor was shown the birthplace of the Oregon and other famous ships of the navy. The quarantine station was visited and the party, after a walk ashore, was allowed 1o re-embark without any fumigation for- malities. Captain Cushing then took his guests out to the heads and pointed out some of the shore batteries with which General Miles was so pleased. Luncheon was served on board the cut- ter. 3% —_—————— Turkish Troops Mount Guns. NEW YORK, Oct. 2—A special to the Sun from Sofla says the rebels hold all the passes besides the suburb of Monastir, The Bulgarian forces have withdrawn and thrown up fortifications. The Turk- igh troops have mounted sixty guns out- side the town. It is reported that. the Albanians in Ochrida have massacred the Christians.

FORT RILEY, Kans., Oct. 2.—Intensely practical, exceedingly useful, but in no way picturesque, were the maneuvers to- day. They consisted entirely of instruc- tion for the men of the National Guard in the formation of outposts and the per- formance of outpost duty. There were three exercises, all exactly alike. _In each exercise a regiment of regulars established the outpost, the officers of the National Guard accompanying the com- mandér of the regulars as spectators. When the outpost of regulars was fully established and the details of the work made clear to the officials of the National ‘Guard, the State troops were called up | and sent out to relieve the regulars on the outpost. ’ The 'Sixth regular infantry established the outpost for the First Kansas; the Eighteenth Infantry for the Second Kan- sas and the Twenty-second Infantry for the Colorado battalion. When the State troops were completely established on the outpost an attack was made by a small force of cavalry. It was the assumption that the attacking force was much larger in number than the outpost. Troop E of the Fourth Cavalry attacked the front of the First Kansas; Troop F of the same regiment pushed in on the front of the | Secoad Kansas and Troop G of the Fourth made it interesting for the Colorado men. The National Guard did excellent work in forming their outposts, the pickets and reserves being posted promptly. When, however, the attack began, the National Guardsmen showed how much the in- struction given at such a camp as is now being held is needed by them. No eriti- cism could be made of their gallantry and their willingness to fight. It was the ex- cess 'of these qualities that would have brought them disaster had the game of to-day been played in earnest. In the afternoon Captain J. B. Cavan- augh of the Corps of Engineers delivered an interesting lecture on “Intrenchments’ to the field officers of the National Guard. In the evening Colonel Wagner, ad- jutant general of the Department of the Lakes, delivered an address on “Strat- egy,” which contained as much informa- tion for the National Guard as any prac- tical fie'd maneuvers. Jessie Morrison Is Admitted to Bail. TOPEKA, Kans., Oct. 2.—TPhe Kansas Supreme Court to-day granted a stay of executfon in the case of Jessle Morrison, now in the penitentiary for the murder of Clara . Wiley Castle. ~The case will be heard by the Supreme Court in January. Miss Morrison’s appeal bond was fixed at $10,000. As soon as this is given she will be released until the time of her trial. She was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary. £CE D LR, Engineers Demand More Pay.

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 2.—The forest fire that has been burning fiercely in the vi- cinity of the big tunnel in this eounty for | several days continues unabated, and despite the efforts of the people from the surrounding country the flames can- not be controlled. - Much valuable prop- erty has been destroyed and thousands of acres of forest and pasture land have been burned over. A communication from Remington Hill, a small town that is in the path of the flames, states that every- thing possible is being done to save the town, but it is not known whether the efforts’ will be successful. A létter received in Neyada City from that place to-day states: ‘“We are doing all in our power to check the flames.' A large force of men is now out fighting the | fire. We may succeed in saving the town. Al of the Jefferson family are here. They fled from home thinking that the fire would cut off their chance of escape.” Higher Court Modifies the Sentences.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES IN BOATING DISASTER Swift Current of the Columbia River Causes an Accident Near Astoria. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 2.=Miss Hazel Ells- worth, aged 21 years, was drowned and Mrs. Alfred Bernard, aged 24, was badly injured in a boating disaster this after- noon at Fort Columbia, across the river from this city. The boating party left Astoria during the noon heur and after a short stay on the beach near the fort started to re- turn. The swiftly running tide set the boat against the wharf, where it was soon ground to pieces. Miss Ellsworth sank immediately, while Mrs. Bernard clung to the piling for three hours before bemg rescued. She is suffering from bruises that may result fatally. The others in the boat at the time were Miss Bernard, Mrs. Bernard's sister-in- law, Henry Walsen and Leonard Stinson. News of the drowning reached the city late to-night. Miss Ellsworth’s body was not recovered. e Rail Rates Reduced Via Santa Fa.
