There are trusts in Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia, as well as every other country which has great industries or natural re sources valuable enough to attract large sums of capital in their de velopment. The trusts are doing more damage in some of those countries than they are doing here. Nevertheless the Republican party will keep up its warfare on trusts. It, has been fighting them from the day they tirst made their appear ance. It, is the only party which has had either the courage or the intelligence to strike a blow at the Illegitimate practices of the com bines and to restrict them in their operations, it is a satisfaction, therefore for the country to know that as the Republican party is going to remain in control of the nation for years to come its vigor ous and practical work in main taining the people's interests in this as in all other fields will be kept up. —St. Louis "Globe-Demo crat." WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 11th, 1899. President, McKinley will this week issue a proclamation noti fying the world officially that Spain and the U. 8. are at peace. The treaty signed by the Queen Regent of Spain is already in Washington and the French Ambassador, act ing for Spain, will arrange for the ceremony of exchanging the treaty. This ceremony will, unless present plaus are changed, take place in tin White House. It will be in teresting, but brief. The copy of the treaty ratified by Spain will be handed to the President and the copy of the treaty ratified by the t . S. Senate will be handed to the French Ambassador as the repre sentative of Spain. The payment of the $20,000,000 called for by the i.reaty will speedily follow, but it Is not likely that the French Am bassador will have anything to do ••vilh that. Being a business mat ter, it will probably be settled by 1 lie notification to the government of Spain that its accredited agent can collect the money at some Eu ropean bank, in which it will be deposited by this government. So much time has been taken up by witnesses whose testimony has been practically the same, that the Military Court of Inquiry has an nounced that it will hear no more witnesses except those who have something new to offer. Gen. Shafter has reached Washington, in obedience to a summons and will be heard this week. Gen. Miles may also be heard again. There are all sorts of rumors as to the report that the court will make, but none of them have any more substantial basis than guesses based upon the evidence as a whole. The guess most likely to prove true is that the court will recommend that the purchase of canned roast beef for the army should be stopped. The evidence against its unfit ness for food is overwhelming. It has not been proven that the re frigerated beef issued to the army was chemically treated, although it has been shown that it is a com mon practice for fresh meats to be HO treated and sold in the markets of the country. Ever since the bill authorizing twelve new warships became a law, there has been a good natured but spirited rivalry among the friends of various states and cities, to give their names to the new ships. The law provides that battleships and armored cruisers shall be named after states and cruisers after cities. After consulting with Secretary Long, President McKinley an nounced the following as the names chosen: For battleships, Penn sylvania, New Jersey ami Georgia; for armored cruisers, West Vir ginia, Nebraska and California; for ;, u.iscrs, Denver, DesMoines, Chat tanooga, Galveston, Tacoma, and Cleveland. Here is an official communica tion received by the Department of - late from the I. S. Minister to Venezuely, which should be care fully read by those who grumble about the expense of keeping U. 8. warships in foreign waters. It re lates to the visit of the U. 8. 8. Wilmington to the ports on the northern coast of Venezuela: "The splendid condition and appearance of the men and the beat," writes the Minister, "never failed to call forth praise for those who saw them. As a result of the trip, I think it will be found that Ameri can prestige has been considerably augmented, and the idea of Ameri can power and resources, vitalized by the war, enormously deepened and widened. Practical results, are coming, too, in the way of in creased commerce with the U. S., and if our merchants and manu facturers will take advantage of the favorable conditions that have been created for them, they ought to profit very largely." President McKinley is leaving nothing undone that lie thinks will maintain or add to the existing good feeling between the North and the Bouth. His latest act in that line was to accept an invitation to attend an encampment and reunion of ex-Confederates, under the con trol of the Daughters of the Con federacy, to be held at Falls Church, Ya., June 7th and Bth, and to deliver an address. The White House has two hand some, new and permanent orna ments in the shape of a pair of magnificent Sevres China vases, made by order of the late President Faure, of France, expressly to bo presenfed to the American people and government as souvenirs of the opening of the new Franco-Ameri can cable, over which President McKinley and President Faure ex changed the first messages. The presentation was made by Ambas sador Cambon to President Mc- Kinley, in the blue room of the where the vases are to remain. In President McKinley's address, accepting them, he said: "In the name of my countrymen I accept the gift you offer. Those beautiful vases, typical of one of the most celebrated arts of France, will re main in the Nation's care as an evidence of the friendly sentiments of the French government and people towards the U. 8., and as a token of the auspicious event they were designed to commemorate." The vases and pedestals, arc about six feet high, and nothing hand sonier of the kind has ever been seen in Washington. Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. R. P.
