brave than prudent, was walking
on the firing line wlthing three
bundled yards of the enemy.
H's dress and all made a target
for the enemy's .aim. He was
warned bub laughed at the idea
of danger bub an instant before
he fell into the arms of a staff
officer and died instantly.
Had he remembered the maxim
"Prudence is the better part of
valor," he would have gone into
the town within a few moments
with joyous instead of his weep -troops.
It is a great shock to
the nation. His family is in
Manila.
There were scarcely any
casualties beside the fall of this
favorite General.

ine nrst onslaught against the
trusts was made in the Senate by
Senators Morgan and Chilton.
It was the beginning of the figLu
that will be waged with great
vigor during this session, laying
the foundation of the campaign
next year. !
The measures framed by these
gentlemen against trusts will
probably fall to the Interstate
Commerce Committee for future
reference. There are two va
cancies in this committee on the
minority side, but it is likely that
these wil? .be filled by the ap-
nnintmnnt, rf nno T?ornVi1 inn n

and one Democrat.

with the Republicans, the trio
being McEnery, of Louisiana;
Lindsay, of Kentucky, and Mc
Laufin, of South vJarolina. The
position taken by the last named
Senator was a complete surprise.
True to his views, Senator Hoar
was 'the only Republican to vote
in the negative.
H -The Senate has shown itself
determined to support the admin

the future, it is safe to assume
that no resolutions will be
adopted without the indorse
