Paul, Aug. 23, Tho trust ques tion was openly precipitated In tho Trana-MlsslsalppI congress nt tho morn ing session, when William Henry Kus- tls of Minneapolis, moved that tho ad dress of F. B. Thuibcr bo expunged from tho records. Kuetts charged Thurbcr with coming hero as an agent of tho meat trust, and that his address was an effort to get tho trust's side of tho raso before tho public at tho ox pense of tho congress, seemingly with its endorsement. The question was hotly debated for nn hour. Thurbe was sharply criticised both fcr hi present action and for his connection with tho Scnato eugnt scandal. Finally the whole matter of trusts was left to the resolutions committee. Seattle gets tho next meeting of tho congress. KEEP TRUSTS IN CHECK Roosevelt Thinks Publicity Woul Kelp Desired End. Providence, R, dent Roosevelt menso throng, was the trusts, he said: . I., Aug. 20. Prcsl spoke hero to an im His principal topi. Among other things There is in our country a peculiar difficulty in the way of exercising such supervision and control, because of the peculiar division of government.il power. When the industrial conditions were slmplo, very littlo control was needed and no trouble was caused bv the doubt aa to whero power was lodged under the constitution. Now condl tlons aro complicated, and wo find it difficult to frame national legislation which shall be adequate, while as a matter of practical experience stato ac tion nas proved entirely insumcient and in all human probability cannot or will not bo made sufficient to meet the needs of the case. I belioro that the nation mnst nssume this power of con trol by legislation, and if it becomes ev- ident that the constitution will not permit needed legislation, then by constitutional amendment. The immediate need in dealing with trusts is to place them under tho real not nominal control of some sovereign to which, as its creature, the trusts shall owe allegiance, and in whoso courts the sovereign's orders may with certainty be enforced. In my judg ment this sovereign must be the nir tional government. When it lias been given lull power, then Ihls lull power can be used to control any evil Intlu ence, exactly as the government is now using the full power conferred upon it under tho Sherman anti-trust law. Even when the full power has been con erred, it would be highly nndesir- able to attempt too much, or to begin by stringent legislation. The mechan ism of the modern business is as deli cute and complicated as it is vast, and nothing would be mare productive of evil to all of u, and especially to those least well oil in tins world's goods, tban ignorant meddling with this mechanism, and above all if the med dling was done in a spirit of sectional or class rancor.. It is desirable that this power should be possessed by the nation, but it 1b quite as desirable that the power should be exercised with moderation and self restraint. The first exercise of .that power should be the securing of public ity among all the great corporations doing an interstate business. The publicity, though non-inquisitorial, should be real and thorough as to all important facts with which tbo public has concern, Hie lull light ol day is a great discourager of evil. Such pub licity would by itself tend to correct the evils of which there is just com plaint, and where the alleged evils are imaginary it would tend to show tbat Euch Is the case. When publicity is attained it would then be possiblo to see what further should be done in the way of reguia. tiqn. Above all, it behooves us to remember not only that wo ought to try to do what we can. but that our success in doing it depends very mucii upon our neither attempting nor exe cuting the impossible. President Oraves Resigns. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 23. Frank P, Graves, president of the University of V ashington, has tendered his resigna tion to the board of regents and it has been accepted.

Land Decision of Importance Rendered by Secretary of Interior, Lowiston, Idaho, Aug. 22. Word has been received from Washington that tho secretary of tho Interior has roverscd the commissioner's decision in tho rase of Robert J. Littlo vs. John W. Bradbury. This is tho ease In which it was at leged that Mr. Bradbury mutio and filed n timber mid stone, entry in tho local land olllco after tho hour ol clos lug on tho 18th day of last January which was Saturday. Monday morn lng 8. J. McFarlnnd offered scrip ap plication for tho snmo land embraced in Bradbury's ontiy; tho register of tho local land olllco rejected tho vrli application as being lit conflict with tlio entry made by Bradbury. From this action McFurlaml took an appeal to tho commissioner, and filed affidavits that Bradbury a application was ro ceivod alter olllco hours. Tho commissioner sustained tho ac tion of tho register. Commissioner Is Reversed. An appeal was taken to the secretary of the Interior, who now reverses tho commissioner and holds that tho "general circular of July 11, 1800 (page 233) under tho bead of registers and ' receivers, directs that: 'They will bo in attendance at their offices. keeping tlio same open for tho transac tion of businoss Irom Da. in. till 4 p. in " 'Applications lor entry cannot bo received by the register or receiver on of olllco huurs nor elsewhere than at their ollli-e. "While thoro Is no statute forbidding them so acting, there is no statute authorizing tlieui to act. Tho reguia tlons for their conduct not In contra vention of statute have all the force of law. - If It Is optional with, local officers to receive or decline applications, there is given opportunity for thorn to exor cise favoritism and partiality, whlcl might lead t crave mischiefs, tho In jury of many, and glvo occasion for grave scandals against the Integrity of tho land department. Tlio decision is an important ono. in that it finally establishes tho rule that applications for entry of land cannot lie made out of olllco hours SOUTH AFRICAN BLACKS. Upon Their Attitude Depends to a Orcat Cxtcnt That Country's Future. London, Aug. 22. Mall advices re ceived from Johannesburg indicate that tho negro problem is growing more acute and is causing the authorities infinite worry. To quote tho words of ono of tho foremokt African author! ties: "tin tho quostinn of tlio natives de pends the wliolo futuro of tho new colonies whether the Boers will loyally accept British rule or continue in a state of sullen resentment Among tlio immediate dangers nafTfc attacks on Boers returning to tholr farms and attempts of tlio natives to assault white women are threatening serious conflicts bctneen Boors and blacks. Under the old regime the crude but simple retribution lor assaults on women was shooting on sight. ?ow, however, there is no legislation on the subject and tho Eng lish authorities are hesitating to enact laws until all parties concerned can voice their opinions. Tlio hesitancy to deal summarily with tho natives is causing both Boers and Africanders in tense Irritation and encourages tho blacks to truculent effrontery. "Another phaso of tho problem Is the unwillingness of tho blacks to foro- go their lazv existence in the conccn trntion camps, where thousands were gathered during the war, and far more serious is tlio fact that a great number of blacks in tho country have managed to secure arms. There Is, therefore, the anomalous situation of unarmed whites and armed blacks living In proximity on outlying farms. Expert encod Britisli colonials strongly favor universal disarmament of tho natives and prompt legislation making assaults on women a capital olTenso."
