Washington, Jul' 5. Senator Vest be
lieves the Democrats must look to 1904
for political success. He does not attach
much importance to the fall elections.
"The york of the recent sessions has
bsen very important," the speaker said.
"Of course ihe republicans have had
their own way about everything except
ing the reciprocity question with Cuba
They have not yet passed the ehip-subsi-ly
bill through the House, hut I suppose
they will do so at the next session. Their
cuajority is so large in each house that
tltex have had the power to do pretty
rauch as they like, and they are pledged
to this cblonial policy and intend to car
ry it out. v
"The worst thing about the Philippine
business is the pretense on the part of
our republican friends that they are act
ing upon high moral considerations,
"wiiea every intelligent man knows that
they are actuated by commercial motives
o::.J' The leader in the senate, Senator
Z2!aoa, is continually quoting what Mc
iZiuley said to hiru about public matters,
Taud we have had a sort of political seance
aa the senate on every occasion when a
debate has occurred, either on a political
question , or the Nicaragua canal or the
ebip subsidy.
"All the world knows Mr, McKinley
olecfared in his speech at Charlottsville
us he went to the Pacific coast, andafter
'.ard in his speech at Buffalo, just before
i-H.essassination, that we must held the
SMSippine archipelago as a base of dis
tribution for our surplus products in the
Oraent. The moral aspect pf the ques
tios. is used s'imply to fortify the inten
tion on the part of the administration
to fectfd the Philippine islands for com
EierdU.1 purposes.
'2tis useless to protest against the
Philippine policy now. If the republi
cciEss can continue the high pressure of
tthe'ljcom which has given greater prices
S.osr manufacturers and farmers and
ceased, au amount of circulation of money
n this country hitliertofore unparalleled,
they will carry the next presidential elec
tion. But no man living can preoict with
smy.-certainty what will be the condition
in lOOi, and it is therefore useless to con
jecture what wi?l be the result of the next
spiesifiemiat campaign.
"The republican party is unquestiona
bly In alliance with the trusts.' No'' in
telligent m;n can doubt this fact after
IcoioJig at the record. Ia not one single
instance have they failed to show them
selves the friends of the great monopolies.
-A-tthds session of congress they have fur
Kished conclusive evidence of their in
tention not to attack them in tny way.
"Mie 'Sugar Trust was powerful enough to
defeat the House bill removing the differ
antial on refined sugar, and the bill
kitswn as the Outage Whiskey hill
Eias bv'en killed in the finance committee
of the senate because the republicans did
-siot want to give the Whiskey Trust what
wanted until the trust had been squeez
ed for campaign purposes.
"A r-eat many democrats are serious
about the congressional elections in No
vember, b"t 1 am not so sure any import
ant results v iii come from carrying the
(house. The republicans will have the
presidency and the. senate by 20 majority
and our control of the House would prac
tically amount to very little. Of course
democratic House could defeat any ob
jectionable leaitilutioi!, but it must be re
membereu, ihe republicans have already
effected all they desired, and they would
certainly, after losing the Honse in No
vember, rush a subsidy bill throuah that
2ody in the short session.
"If we should carry, the House and
financial revulsion come upon the coun
try in 1004 or before that time, the repub
licans would declare that this was the re
sult of a democratic victory in the popu

liave said, .vould aiaoUL-t to very lil'.le."

Chicago, July 5. Half a hun
dred detectives and as many depu
ty Sheriffs are chasing over Cook
and Will counties in quest of the
two train robbers who held up the
Rock Island, limited at 1 o'clock
yesterday morniDg near this city.
So far tlie fugitives have eluded
their pursuers.
"They're old hands at this busi
ness," said William A. Pinkerton
today. "Their getaway showed
that,"
In their flight the robbers have
stolen seven horse?, and fought a
battle with a farmer who attempt
ed to capture them.
V hen they were stealing tne
third team the robber3 awoke A-
dolph Chance, the owner. Ha pro
cured a fjhotgUQ, called up one of his
farm hands, and the two harnessed
a horee to a light buggy and gave
pursuit. The chase had lasted fif
teen minutes when Chance rounded
a bend in the road, came within
range ot the robbers who were in a.
surrey. Chance's command to halt
was unheeded. The farmer fired
both barrels at thefleeiDgmen.
The robbers promptly answered
tho shots, and the bullets whistled
about the heads of the pursuers.
Chance abandoned the chase.
Charles Nessler, the youth who
waB forced by the bandits to give
the order to the engineer to stop the
train, was released today.
The robbers left a bag near the
train containing twenty sticks of
dynamite, a number of fuses and a
box of fulminating caps. Police
Lieutenant Rohan, after examining
the dynamite, said:
"Drily experienced train robbers
would be provided with explosivss
moulded into cylinders like these.
The smaller sticks are like those
used- by cracksmen to shatter
safes, while the larger -ones are for
bigger work.
At the Englewood hospital it was
said there was little hope for Jarxe3

was shct by the robbers.
