Interesting Discussion Before the Coop er I'nton Institute. NEW YORK, Feb. 21 The conference or trusts before the People a Institute in co-operation with the Cooper Union, was continued last night In the hall of the union when "The economic effects of Industrial combination" formed the topic of discuxsion. The first speaker on the eeon.unic customs Involved In Industrial combinations was W. H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the Long Isl and railroad, who elucidated the mean ing of the term "trust." In the first .place, he said. .a. trust ut comolna tlon of capital In order to purchase raw . material; secondly, to pay a high rate of wages, and, thirdly, to sell at a lower .price than could Je offered by any .smaller combination of capital. That, said Mr. Baldwin, was the only kinl .Of trust, eilhi economic or political, that could survive public opinion or the :flnal analysis of the great question of .trusts. Mr. Baldwin drew a i-arallW between the rate of waes paid in the timet of small rallnads. when the average was ?C0 a month, and the present rate, as certified to by Jlr. Arthur, of $150 to 1223 a month for engineers working Ironv seven to eight hours a day, which latter result, he said, was only possible under , the combination of railroad In terests and economies of operation that could be brought aboitt under no other conditions. Mr. Bill wis gave it as his opinion that the onward current to ward combinations could not be stop ped, and that the aim must be .to con trol the trust and to guide it along so as to make it serve for the common ood. Prof. F. YV. Taussig, of Harvard uni versity, drew the distinction between ! public service industries and Industrial combinations, taking the ground In on- : position to Oqurke Cockran that there were such things as partial Monopolies. He said that it was characteristic of : sri-aller combinations that they wtre under single management. .ind-T the watchful eye of .the man whose pocket ' was affected by t;e methods employed, j A test of the large combinations, he said, was whether they could survive ! under hired management, and he con- 1 tended that some of th alleged advan- tages of combinations on a large seal i were lllu.sionary. He defended a tele- ; phone m mopuly and mid that several j competing systems would work as : great harm as If there were several ! competing postal systems. He said the cities could regulate such monopolies I when franchises were to be granted. ; Proi'essor Taussig paid Ihat neither the protective tariff, railway conditions ! that gave advantages to large ship. per, nor the reckless offering of cor porate privileges in some state was to blame for present conditions: but that all together w-re in a large measure re sponsible. Mere prohibition, he said, could accomplish nothing. It led only to legislative hair splitting and evasion. Sacrificed to Blood Poison.

Prominent Chicago Poles Deny Kxistence in That City. Its CHICAGO. Feb. 21. Polish citizens of Chicago are divided on the question of the existence of a secret league to free Poland in case of war between Russia and England at any time In the near future. News of the recent ar rests in Leinberg and the statements by prominent Poles in this city, Is the principal topic of 'discussion among Poles. Son.e deny that there exists such a secret society, others say there Is such a league, but that IU purposes are not to secure Poland's freedom by insur rection and the third suport the revo lutlo).ny vl-ws of Frank H.

"They know that such a nKivefiit-ht would be Impossible and could only re fcult in greater persecution and that a movement to overthrow the govern ments of Russia, Germany and Austria would be madness. , .

Stephen HarsaYSevskl, editor of Ego da, says: "There is a secret Polish league whli-h t.x oiKanlied for the piiihw of creating and nurturing a patriotic Pol ish uu-rent among Polish youth and to encourage love for Poland.

VENEZUELA STILL TROUBLED. Her Minister of War Finds It Neces sary to Deny That He Is Against the Government. NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-fteports ca- bled from Trinidad, under date of Feb ruary 5. to the effect that General Jose Ignaiio Pulido, minister of war of Venezuela, was planning a revolution ngains: the administration of Pn-sld.-nl Castro are de-.iared by that official to be without foundation and calculated to do him an lijustl -e In Caracas. Senor E. Jonzalen Est eves, consul neral of Venezuela, in New York, alleges that President Castro Is secure ly seated In power. Is giving the repub lic a clean admlnlstiatlon and that he has the respect and support of a great majority of all Venezuelans. The members of his cabinet are peculiarly ;yal to him. .Senor Esteves has re ceived a cable dispatch of which the following Is u translation: "Consul-General of Venezuela, New' ork: Report from Trinidad dated Sth is inexact. I am in full sympathy with I the iolly of General Castro and with the liberal party. PJease have this statement published In the New York H-rald. (Slgmd) "GEN. JOSE IGNACIO PULIDO, "Minister of War." Seror Esteves insists that consplra ators In other Central American re puollcs are contuntly plotting against the peace of Venezuela and It was probably one of these irresponsible per sons who set afloat the untrue rumor concerning Gen'-ral Pulido. yi.AS to ri;oroan'izi: ; i t. , ip .-j.
