Washington. Oct 14,-Wlde diversity
of opinion in the industrial commis-
sion will be shown In its report to con-
gress on trusts, and there will be at
least three diverse recommendations,
as follows:
Stricter anti-trust legislation by
the several states and by congress
without altering the present relations
between their respective jurisdictions.
2. The delegation by congress to the
states of its interstate commerce juris-
diction. so as to allow the states to
regulate manufacturing or trading cor-
porations engaged in interstate com-
merce.
3. The assumption by the national
government of a larger and perhaps
exclusive control of all such corpora-
tions, and their regulation by act of
congress.
Publicity is a conspicuous and Im-
portant feature of each of these sys-
tems. It will be recommended in eat'.,
of the three reports that trusts be re-
quired to show not only their gross and ;
net earnings, but also the character of ;
receipts and expenditures and the form
of the agreements under which thf
constituent corporations are operating.
This subject of trusts is the rock upon
vhich the commission will split. The
members have been discussing the mat-
er with a view to securing a majority
report, but it has become evident to
all that their divergence of opinion will
prevent this.
The commission will recommend the
enactment of more stringent immigia
lien laws. Considerable attention has
been given to this subject, and the
members are practically unanimous in
their view on how the existing statutes
should be amended.

Washington, Oct. 12.—Capt. F. E.
Chadwlck, who was in command of
Admiral Sampson's flagship, the New
York, and who also was chief of the
admiral's staff during the war with
Spain, testified before the Schley naval
court for a short time Friday after-
noon.
Capt. Chadwick's testimony related
very largely to dispatches sent by Ad-
ral Sampson to Commodore Schley
while the latter lay off Clenfuegos In
May, 1898, and to the sode of signals
jgreed upon between Capt. McCalla of
he Marblehead and the Cuban forces
operating near Cienfuegos. He said
His code had not been sent to Com-
.nodore Schley by dispatch, because
:apt. McCalla had expected to join the
;ommodore immediately and communi-
cate the code to him. He also told of
ueing present at an interview between
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, in which the latter had ex-
pressed his intention to be loyal to
the commander-in-chief. He related
in detail the change of opinion con-
cerning the whereabouts of Cervera's
fleet by Admiral Sampson on May 21
between the sending of the two dis-
patches of that date by Admiral Samp-
son to Commodore Schley, one of
which was dated at Key West and
the other at Havana. Capt. Chadwick
said he had not approved Admiral
Sampson's dispatch on May 28, coi>
gratulating Commodore Schley on his
accomplishments to that date. Five
other witnesses were heard during the
day.
Galveston, Tex., Oct 12.—In the
United States court a libel was filed
by the United States Shipping com-
pany against the British steamship Sir
William T. Lewis for $997. The vessel,
which is now at this port, was seized.
It 1s alleged in the libel that the
United States Shipping company en-
gaged in maritime shipping and has its
principal office in the city of New
York, and that the steamship Sir Will-
iam T. Lewis is engaged in the carry-
ing trade; that on Feb. 14, 1901 a
charter party was made and entered
into between the owners of the ship
and their agents and the Munson
Steamship line, whereby a certain
sum of money was to be paid by the
steamship company on the perform-
ance of the voyage under the charter
party. That the charter party and
all the rights thereunder were trans-
ferred to the United States Shipping
company. It is further alleged that on
March 23, 1901, the said charter and
agreement were performed to the ex-
tent of entitling the steamship to cer-
tain payments thereunder. That on
this date the United States Shipping
comparty had succeeded to the rights
of the Munson Steamship Line. That
through an error the steamsfiip and
owners were overpaid on account of
the charter the sum with Interest,
amounting to $997, for which judgment
is asked.

Miss Stone, the missionary, is consid-

issuance of another appeal for funds
by the clergymen who signed the first

people of America the danger which
still threatens Miss Ctone. The second
appeal follows:

ond urgent appeal to the people of

SHOT TO DEATH.
A Brother of the Late John Wetley Har-
din Meets Sneh Fate.
Clairemont, Tex., Oct. 12.—Jeff Har-
din, a brother of the late John Wesley
Hardin, was shot and killed here. He
was at his place of business, when, it
seems, he and John Snowden got into
a dispute about an account. Angry
words passed between them, but other
parties coming into the room, the mat-
ter was dropped. The crowd soon
started out, and Snowden with them.
Hardin called him back, and in a short
time the shooting was heard. Parties
entered the building and found Hardin
lying at the end of the counter in a
dying condition. He did not speak
after he fell. Three shots took effect,
one passing through the heart and out
under the shoulder blade. The right
leg was shattered and a ball passed
through the left leg.
It is not known that anyone saw the
shooting. Hardin's pistol was lying be-
hind the counter. Half an hour after
the occurrence Snowden surrendered
and he was in the custody of the
sheriff. Snowden waived examining
trial and his bond was fixed at $5000,
which he readily gave.
Death Penalty.
Karnes City. Tex., Oct. 12.—After

find the defendant guilty of murder In
the first degree and assess his punish-
ment at death. E. C. Seal, foreman."•
The cape went to the Jury at a late
hour Thursday night.
There was little change in the ex-
pression of the prisoner's face when
the verdict was read, except that he
turned a little pale. The defendant
presented a motion to the court for a
new trial, but it was overruled, where-
upon he gave notice of appeal.

ilage. "For any cause not existing uc-
fme marriage" is understood to refer
to such cases as insanity, inability to
execute a contract, existence of a lir-
ing wife or husband or like reasons
which practically render the marriage
null and void. This section has been
a bone of contention, a strong element
in the church holding that the re-
marriage of the innocent party to a
divorce granted on the ground of Infi-
delity should not be forbidden. The
bishops have refused to accept this
view of the matter.
The question is by no means settled,
as the whole subject is now to come
up in the house of deputies, where it
is expected to cause a prolonged dis-
cussion. The canon as finally passed
by the house of bishops reads:
Canon 36, of the solemlnization of
matrimony: The solemnization of
matrimony In this church in which the
mutual consent of each party entering
into this state of life is given in the
presence of a minister who, having
pronounced in the name of the Holy
Trinity to be man and wife, invokes
the divine blessing upon their union.
"2. The requirements of the laws of
the state regarding the conditions for
the civil contract of marriage shall In
all cases be carefully observed before
the marriage is solemnized.
"3. No minister shall slemnize the
marriage of any person who is a minor
under the law unless the parents or
guardian of such minor is present and
consenting, or shall have give written
consent to the marriage, or is perma-
nently resident in a foreign country.
No minister shall solemnize a mar-
riage except in the presence of at
least two witnesses, the minister or the
witnesses being personally acquainted
with the parties. Every minister shall
without delay formally record in the
proper register the names, age and
residence of each party. Such record
shall be signed by the minister who
performs the ceremony and if prac-
ticable by the parties, and by at least
two witnesses of the marriage.
"4. No minister shall solemnize a
marriage between any two persons un-
til by inquiry he shall have satisfied
himself that neither person has been
or is the husband or wife of any other
person then living, unless the former
marriage was annulled by a decree
of some civil court of competent juris-
diction for cause existing before such
former marriage."
Another feature of the work of the
house of bishops was the appointment
of a committee of five to act with simi-
lar committees of priests and laymen,
constituting a Joint committee of fif-
teen, in considering the proposed
change in the name of the church. The
committee has no power to act, but is
to report its findings at the next gen-
eral convention to be held in Boston in
1904.
when he was finally surrounded in a
live oak prairie near Higdon. At the
sight of the posse the outlaw opened
fire and a vigorous fusillade continued
for several minutes. Sheriff Arm-
strong and Deputy Yarborough were
both wounded, one ball striking the
former in the head. Neither officer,
however, is fatally wounded. The ne-
gro outlaw was also found prostrated
in his own blood with several wounds
in his body. He is still alive.
ISMS AND SCHISMS
Protested Against by a Clergyman in the
National Purity Convention.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 10—The perfect
accord and harmony which has marked
the meeting of the National Purity
convention was considerably ruffled by
Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago,
who announced himself as being op-
posed to ism^ and schisms and dis-
tinctive organizations in Christian ef-
fort and declared that the work of
these associations was properly that
of the church. He defended the legiti-
mate drama and the various kinds of
athletic sports and at the same time
denounced Sunday golf and the dese-
cration of Memorial day by century
bicycle runs and races. Dr. Jones was
the programme to deliver an ad-
dress on "Moralizing and Demoralizing
Amusements." He Baid:
People are organizing and organiz-
ing until they are becoming lost in
their organizations. The Anti-Cigar-
ette League and the antl-this and the
anti-that league is an accusation
against the church of God. The
churches must be called back to their

Baltimore. Md., Oct. 10.—The Na-
tional Rivers and Harbors congress fin-
ished its labors, and all things under-
taken were marked by the utmost har-
mony. The first hour of the session
was taken up with speechmaking, and
a number of short addresses were
made, all pretty much alike, In that no
differences of opinion existed as to the
necessity of the liberal improvement of
the important rivers and harbors of the
country. A number of speakers, hail-
irg from difTcrcnt sections of the coun-
try, had prepared statistics affecting
navigation, but all were directed to the
single point of demonstrating as a
means of transportation, together with
the bearings of navigation upon the in-
dustrial and commercial future of the
United States.
