Subsidiary Companies., Trouble Was Due'to Latk ''.of Cotnmon Honesty. " XW YORK, June li The organization of the largest tniBt: company In the Unit ed Sjates ami one of the largest financial Institutions in the world was said today to be a part of the plan of Thomas F. Ryan" In negotiating, the purchase "of the btock "of "the Equitable "Life Assurance So ciety held by James H. Hyde. Mnf Ryan's plan waff reported today to be to consol idate the Equitable Trust Company, the Mercantile Trust Company and the Mor ton Trust Company, all of this city, with the last named In control. It Is Expected that this' would result in Treating a financial Institution, with de posits second only to those of the Na tional City Bank of New York, which has deposits of $185,000,000. The deposits of- the proposed consolidated trust com pany would amount to J169.O00.O00: capital stock to J7.O0O.O00. and the surplus to J22.O00.O00. Mr. Ryan's plan was reported today to contemplate also the elimination of the control of the subsidiary companies by the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Ex-Prcsldcnt Cleveland has written a letter to Mr. Ryan concerning the trustee ship of the stock of the Equitable, which he accepts. The letter was made public today, and says, in part: vy'hlle the hope that I might aid In Improv ing the plight of the Equitable Society has led me to accept the trusteeship you ten der, I cannot rid myself of the belief that what lias overtaken this Company Is liable to happen to other Insurance companies and fiduciary organizations as' long as lax Ideas of responsibility In places of trust are tol erated by our people The high pressure of speculation, the madness of Inordinate business-scheming and the chances taken In new and uncertain enterprises are constant temp tations too often successful In leading man agers and directors away from scrupulous loyalty and fidelity to the Interests of other confided to their care, Ye -can better, afford to slacken our pace than to abandon bur old simple American standards of honesty; and we shall be safer if we regain our old habit 6f looking upon appropriation to pergonal uses of property and interests held In trust.

During the past 24 hours nothing of any import ance whatever has developed, neither side to the controversy having made any ag gressive move According to the employ ers Involved In the trouble,4 they have succeeded In getting their business almost back to normal conditions. The teamsters are doing absolutely nothing in the strike, not a move being made either for peace or looking to a spread of the difficulty.

Pran io Make Good Lithographers. NEW YORK. June 12. Officers of the .Lithographic Artists'. Engravers .md Designers' League of America, which closed Its annual convention In this city last week, have - made an agreement with, the employing litho graphers to raise Che standard of the trade In this country by forming an ap prenticeship board. The highest class of .lithographic work Is -now done In Europe. ;but It la hoped that under the ncw.schcrrie. this country can produce men capable of doing any grade ot work. TheboarJ -will, be composed ot employers" and employes. "Boys wfi6" desire to become apprentices "will be tested as to their ability, will be put on probation for six months and will then be examined again. If their -work shows ability they will become lull apprentices. SQUARE DEALN0T GIVEN (Continued prom first Fagc) from these corporations, these figures are not given from public or official record, but ar cclleved to be reliable, and refute the state ment that extensions In Oregon would not b profitable until the country l settled up; al ready In many eectlons of tmr state the pop ulation and products are far In advance ot present railroad facilities. Protest Aaalast Obstruction. The railroad traffic of Oregon la not only htrhly prentable within the state, but owing to the fact that the greater part of what consume of manufactured goads corned from abroad, and the greater part ef what we produce roust be chipped across the continent, ttie Interstate traffic Oregon turnUhes It a very lucrative source or Income, la spite of the fact that these corporations nave been treated with the greatest liberality by the people of Oregon In their political capacity, and In tplte. of failure to extend their lines adequate to the ,grorth of the communities, a policy of deliberate obstruction baa recently been announced on their part toward all such contemplated enterprise. The Oregon territory has been set apart a not open to construction of branch lines, no matter how much needed to provide markets for products of lands already under cultiva tion. In return .for the prosperity they enjoy ao th,e result of liberality and fairness on the part of the state undeveloped Oregon is to be accorded Indefinite stagnation and strangu lation. , .Produces a Silrit of DlalIffactIon. This condition jof things is certain to produce a cplrit of resentment o.i the part of the peo ple toward these corporation, a result that is to be deplored. We regret that necessity has ever arisen for calling attention to such a atate of attains, for we believe that the local officials of these corporations bare done all In their power jto bring about better relations between the corporations and the people. The resident directors ot thece railroads at Portland have left nothing undone to induce the construction ot branch lines Into the In terior, but have been overruled by hostile in fluences outside the itate. Having exhausted all friendly efforts to bring about policies ot expansion they will be forced to unite with the people of the great undeveloped Coast and Interior and. demand a decided change In the prevailing policies. The people 'of Oregon will and should rewnt the proposed Interference with the natural and orderly development ot their state. The published combination between nigh railroad officials In St. Paul and ifew York, by which alliance territory Is parcelled out and an In definite suspension of railroad construction In this section of the Northwest arranged. If carried out. means paralysis to growth alike of commerce and Industries. We must regard a compact by which managers of rail road corporations In possession ot productive territory, or having easy access thereto, agree to keep further lines of railroad out of such territory, as an agreement In restraint f commerce. It Is In violation at least of the rpirlt of the Sherman anti-trust law and In effect constitutes a crime against the canjmu nlty, which to held In bandage thereby. Remedy Is With the People. Our Government has been a mere auxiliary to tho corporations long enough. The time bat oomc tor this state to demand and receive in return greater appreciation of corporate op portunities to asrlst In the higher development ot our commonwealth, or to invoke the Im mediate application or the powers vested in the Legislature and the people for corporate regulation and control. The people poescss legitimate means under the Constitution to bring about more equitable conditions and more Jut relations for the benefit of all. A Few Pacts About Taxation. This committee ha net had time to gathrr all the tacts touching taxation of railroad property, aa compared with ether property In this state, or railroad property In other states. But we believe the managers of rail roads themselves will aetnlt that they have not been treated unfairly. Investigation will how that on some forms of taxation they have been exempted entirely, while compared with eome Western States Oregon has placed only nominal values on their proper!). The following statistics show th. amount of taxes paid per mile by these corporations In the four Pacific Coast State: Oregon flSC.ldaho 244 Washington 21SCaJlfernta . 2 Camnared with the taxes collected fromaf there corporations In .oome-states, 4hc differ- I ence In favor of" Oregon's exemption ef cor porate property, lands and fronehlsea would amount to enough to build railroads Into the undeveloped Interior Inside of ten years. Facts About Construction. Our contention Is that while Oregon has fa vored theoe corporations by legislative nfl taxation pollclts. they In return have "not .fa vored Oregon In according a fair .share of construction of branch lines. While this, com mittee has not yet been able t secure com plete otatletlcs of cent truotlon. It begs leave to call attention to the record of railway mileage for the four Coast States from 1100 to 100-. Inclusive; State Mileage. 1000. Oregon .. 1724 Washington 2tt Idaho 1201 California t 3741 Mileage. 1992. 1GSI 3157 1444 SOTO All the other Coast States shew gain in mile, age. while Oregon" lost 40 miles by shortening' line, nnd abandoning track. Oregon's per centage of mileage of railroad to the 100 square miles of territory In 1M1 was 1.76. and the uric In 1902. Idaho lncn-ajvd from 1.5S In 1101 to 1.72 In 1002; Washington from 4.40 to 4.72; California' from 3.74 to 3.SS. Consider that Washington has been a state only about 13 yearn, while Oregon's life ap proaches the half-century. Wc find that 11 counties of Orccon having a territory of 54.4S square miles are without any railroad communication with the outer world. Theec counties comprise mere than balf the ptate. maintain county government?, have industries, banks and prosperous, thriv ing cities andtnwnr. Many of the other counties have railroad only along their bor ders. More than three-fourths of the state area Is without railroad, . While the people of the whole state 'are putting forth a mighty effort to develop and populate thie great Interior, some of the rail road manager Insist that no' railroad Into the Interltfr can be made to pay. and the nonrebident ownership decrees a policy of non construction under any clrcumttancea. Failure to Keep rrornlws. It has been publicly charged that the pres ent management ot throe corporations has not kept faith with the commercial Interests ef Oregon. The -committee doea not consider that It Is required to go Into any particular In vestigation 'of thene matters, but when 'the people of this stat are ependlnjr over 11.000. O00 to hold an Exposition t0T the development of the Oregon country, they have a right to expect that the promUe of a one-fare tale to all who attend to visit the interior of to state nhall be kept. In nuking- tor that reduction jw Important Jo settlement and Investigation, the itate De velopment League wae assured that the re quest waa entirely reasonable, and-virtually wljat had already been decided upon. The president ot that convention. Hop; E. L. Smith, waa authorized by the officials repre kentlng the Oregon tin., who were- picseat. to announce that this conctwcoa bad been granted, and the announcement wax received with great applsu. But when the rate waa announced by thern same official through the pre. It was found limited to persons holding tickets to Portland from points eat of the Rocky Mountains, .and otherwise re stricted "so that It will be tf little practical value to Oregon. The convention asked for a one-fare rate fiat to all Exposition visitors from outside ot this state. That was what was understood by all pretent. ani certainly there has bea failure to do as agreed. We do not censure or hold responsible tha local railroad man agement or consider that they are personally responsible, but Aoraebody U at fault. becauM limiting the one-fare rate to visitors from east of the Rockies will preclude many of thoi cornier from the British possessions Alaska, foreign countries and a3t states and territories west t the Rocky Mountains, from viewing the treat state, and will do them aa well as our own people a grave Injustice. Presumably the Legislature expected In mak ing the appropriation for the Fair that the visitors to the Lewis and Clark exposition who might also come to ee Oregon would be accorded by the transportation companies op portunity to see the undeveloped parts ot this state. We trust there may be a prompt re consideration on the part of the railroad people. . LOW RATES. EAST. The C. K I. JE P. railway office. J40 Third street, will. sell, on June It. 15. 16 and 17, round-trip tickets to all Eastern points, good for three months, at "ex treme low rates.

POWERS OF A PARLIAMENT Final Step Towards Popular Repre sentation at Hand Effort to Re tain Essence or Autocracy by Restricting Powers. ST. PETERSBURG. June 12. The Rus sian experiment In parliamentarism will begin In September. - The Associated Press is now In a position to make this positive announment. The Emperor has already given his approval to the scheme now being finally but formally reviewed by the Council of State, for a legislative body consisting of a lower house called the Gosudarstvennala Duma (Imperial Duma) and an upper house. Gosudarst vennala Sovet, or tho present Council of the Emperor, with power to formulate legislation, discuss the budget. Interpel late ministers, etc. but reserving In the Emperor's own hands tbc final authority. The election will take place during the coming Summer. Although the scheme clings with des peration to the essence of the autocracy. It marks the beginning of tbc end. The die once cast, there can be no retreat, and the quasi-parliamentary regime which will be Inaugurated will prove to be only a transitory bridge over which absolutism roust cross to constitutionalism. Peace and a constitution appear simultaneously on the Russian horizon. The proclamation of the parliament, either In the form of a manifesto or as a ukase, will be promulgated within a few days. HEADS OFF RADICAL- SPEECHES Newspapers Forbidden to Publish Action of Illegal Meetings. ST. PETERSBURG, June 12. (2:S0 A. 21.) The censorship, at the Instance ot the Council of Ministers, has Issued a blanket order forbidding newspapers to mention or to publish the proceedings of any congress or meeting held without the permission of the Government.

The deputation from the all-Russian Zemstvo Congress which has brought an address from the congress for presenta tion to the Emperor will be received by his majesty Wednesday. GERMANY IS SUJLTAN'S HOPE Obtains Concessions Which May Brln- Crisis With France. LONDON, June ' 12. A dispatch from Fer, Morocco, says ''German friendship fo.r Morocco lias already been xcwarded by individual minor commercial .concessions. This Is regarded In diplomatic circles here as precedent liable to create complications ff other grants follow, because It would change the status quo and perhaps cause France to abandon her attitude of patience.- thereby leading to a crisis. "The Sultan maintains his absolutely independent attitude, white the Moorish officials regard Count von Tattenbach Ashold, head f the German mission to Morocco, as a guardian angel. The Count is credited with having made numberless statements and to have told tho Sultan that Germany was quite prepared to pro tect him against France. It Is said that "the Moorish officials are reconciled to the possibility of the proposed International conference being finally vetoed by France and Great Britain, but that they believe the proposition will be supported by other powers, and It Is further stated that the Sultan Is prepared to Indefinitely resist the proposals of the French government," FEJERVARY IS MADE PREMIER Majority In Hungarian Parliament Will Vote No Confidence.

ITALY "WILL BOYCOTT CONGO If Attempt to Poison Baccarl Is Proved, She Will Retaliate. ROME, June 11 The entire sitting of the Chamber of Deputies today was 'oc cupied by a discussion of Italy's connec tion with the Congo, many of the speak ers strongly denouncing the Congo atroci ties. Foreign Minister TIttoni. In reply. said after the report of Captain Baccarl all Idea of sending Italian emigrants to the Conro was abandoned. ' In regard to the report that the Congo authorities threatened to poison Captain Baccarl. Slgnor TIttoni said an Investiga tion "of the charge had been entrusted to a magistrate of high standing. The Min ister added that inqlnrles were also being made into the conditions under which Italian officers were enlisted by the Congo tate. Should the charges made In -this connection prove well founded. all the Italian officers would be recalled. A motion was presented In the chamber Inviting the government to withdraw the Italian officers serving In the Congo, and also to withdraw the exequaturs of the Consuls of the Congo government In Italy. Captain Baccarl. who was sent to the Congo Independent State as the repre sentative of King victor Emmanuel to report upon the possibility of starting an Italian emigration scheme for the Congo, charged that the Independent state authorities attempted to have him poi soned and that afterward the Governor- General of the Congo tried to prove that ho was Insane. FRENCH CABINET CHANGES New Officials Will Be Chosen at To day's Meeting;. PARIS.-Junt. 12 ,(!: P. M.) It Is ex pected that several diplomatic and min isterial changes resulting from the resig nation of M. Delcasae. until recently For eign Minister, will be settled at tomor row's meeting of the Cabinet. Leon Bourgeois probably will succeed M. Bihourd as Ambassador to Berlin, thus Inaugurating a new conciliatory policy concerning Morocco. Premier Rouvler is still undecided about retaining the port folio of Foreign Affairs, with the expec tation that M. de Freyclnet or M. Con- stans. Ambassador to Turkey, will enter the Foreign Office If M. Rouvler concludes to retain the financial portfolio. There la reason to believe that the con ferences between Prince von Radolln, the German Ambassador to France, and Premier Rouvler hive shown that Ger many does not make an International con ference on Morocco a sine qua non. This permits the consideration of other direct means for an adjustment between France and Germany. Smallpox Panic in Chile. NEW YORK. June 12.
