The AlffTI-TRCST LEGISIJkTIOJr There has been, a very urgent! demand rom. manyi quarters for a il.aw against trusts- in Louisiana, and the General Aflsembly has been loudly called on to enact one. Last night the Judiciary Committee of the House, which had been considering the subject, gave a hearing to some representatives of the Board' of Trade, and at the close of the session reported a bill which has not yet been published. The Picayune is in full sympathy with any proper movement against trusts, and in this sense it means combinations of capital organized to prevent and destroy competition in supplying necessaries- and in controlling the supply and dictating prices.

Such combinations to be controlled and regulated as far as reasonable laws can do such a thing. But, care should be taken that the industries and development of the State shall not be wrecked by any fanatical crusade against capital. What Louisiana needs above all manufactures and the development "of her resources, and since the capital is not here for these most important purposes, we must encourage investments from elsewhere. We must invite such capital by making it to the advantage of investors to -come here with their money. Nobody is obliged to bring capital into Louisiana, and nobody will bring it unless there is an advantage in it.

An important-step was taken in that direction when article 230 of the Con stitution was ordained exempting manufactures from certain taxes. But that is not everything. Any injurious attack on capital will undo all the good that might have been accomplished by the Constitution. The representatives of the Board of Trade made a strong argument when they showed that manufacturing enterprises could be driven out of the State by radical legislation, but no State laws can prevent such articles of manufacture from being brought into the State under the interstate commerce law. It ia possible by legislation to drive all enterprise and ex--tensive investment out of the State, but the parties owning the capital cannot be prevented from conducting their operations elsewhere while they sell their products here just the same as ever.

In the absence of the proposed antitrust bill, The Picayune presents these general observations in the interest of home development. The bill itself will be discussed later. THE ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE Much trouble and annoyance is being occasioned the Government by the management of the sea transport service by the Quartermaster's Department of the army. There are thirty ship of various sizes and types belonging to the service, most of them being excellent The maintenance of these vessels, with their repair and equipment, costs the Government a large sum of money, and there is every reason to believe that the ships are poorly cared for as a rule, and cost much more to keep in service than such vessels would cost if under the management of competent naval officers. The army transport service managed not by seafaring men, but by army officers who have no experience whaterer in handling ships.

To each transport is assigned an officer of the Quartermaster's Department, of course a landsman, without experience in. nautical affairs, and this officer is in supreme command. Of course, each ship has, also, a sailingmaster and other officers who are supposed to look after the navigation of the vessel; but, as a matter of fact, these eea officers have no real authority on board, except under the Quartermaster. As a result of this arrangement there are constant clashes of authority, and the most competent seafaring men shun a service in which they are compelled to hold an equivocal position. While there are unquestionably many competent men among the sailingmas-ters and subordinate officers, their efforts to make the service efficient are neutralized by the fact that the army Quartermaster controls everything.

For the sake of the efficiency of the service and for the safety of our troops, as, well as their comfort, there should be a change in the system of maintaining the transport service. It ought to be under the control of the navy, where it properly belongs. With naval officers in charge, the ships would be maintained in more efficient condition, the safety and comfort of the men embarked on board would be better cared for, and all conflict of authority and the scandals which crop out from time to time would be avoided. HEADLONG LEGISLATION. The Haggerty insurance bill was passed Monday by the House, at Baton Rouge, by the overwhelming vote of 84 for and 9 against.

eagerness with which this bill was adopted is shown in the fact that, when the vote had been called for, it was discovered that the bill had never even passed through the constitutional formalities of being read. The story is that it had never been read in the House, and probably few members knew anything about its -provisions, except that it was intended to down "The Insurance Trust The idea, however, that men who-are1 engaged in the supposed serious and important- function of making laws' for the government of a great State are not only and willing, but are eager to rote on a measure of which, according to the Constitution of the State, they must, be -held, to be wholly ignorant la really startling, or rather it 'would be if the people" did no'tr know as much the methods of legislation; national, State and municipal, as The constitutional requirement con-cerningthe 'reading of bills 'proposed in the Legislature not be -out of place here, It is as; follows: Ax2cia S3, ExftAU'iSiU cead. on no bill -hall considered for final passage unless has been read once tn( suii. ana me same nai uem yrjwfwu by a committee. The bill most be read once, and by; title twice, all on three different days.

Whether these formalities are complied with might, inake some difference in case a law enacted without them should, be challenged in the courts. There is "no requirement that any person who i elected to the Legislature should know anything about the Constitution or the laws, or even be able to read or write, nor. can the members of the General Assembly be called to account for any ignorance in the premises. The enactments' which they consummate can be questioned in the courts and annulled for unconstitutionality, or for unreasonableness and absurdity, and that is all of it-There are generally, however, in legislative bodies some persons who are acquainted with the legal requirements in making statutes, and there are fewer mistakes than might be ex pected under all the circumstances. SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.

The present small stocks of cotton throughout the South are forcing the mills in such large milling districts as the Carolinas and Georgia to feel some a-nxiety' as to supplies. It is reported that many of them are being compelled to look far afield for cotton, and they are making demands on the transporta tions lines to grant them more favora ble rates, as, according to local rates, they would have to pay larger trans portation charges than their New Eng land contemporaries, who have the advantage of through rates. While the difficulty of light stocks will probably not endure beyond the present summer, the tendency of South ern mills to make finer qualities of goods will force them to seek away from their immediate neighborhoods for the qualities of cotton they will need. Thus, for instance, the country in the Carolinaa does not furnish a sufficiency of long-taple cotton to meet the requirements of the mills. Accord ingly, recourse will have to be had to the finer cottons of Louisiana, Missis sippi and Arkansas.

In order to se cure such cotton, the mills must have favorable rates from the railroads, otherwise their Northern competitors will have an advantage. This- seeking of a portion of their supplies at a distance is a new departure for the Southern mills, but it is an inevitable development of Southern cotton-milling enterprise. THE SITUATION IN CHINA. Yesterday the veil was in a slight measure lifted from the hitherto cloud ed state of affairs in China. Advices were received early the day from Admiral Kempff to the effect that the combined international forces had en tered Tien-Tsin.

relieving the hard- pressed foreign garrison of that plac. Still later, Admiral Kempff reported that he had received reliable informa tion that Admiral Seymour's force was within ten miles of Tien-Tsin, sur rounded by the Chinese forces and hard pressed. He added further that the force which relieved Tien-Tsin was pressing on to the relief of Admiral Seymour. There are 100 American marines, under Captain MeCalla, with Seymour. This is the first news received as to the whereabouts of Admiral Seymour's force in nearly two weeks, at which time it was known that it was stalled within about twenty miles of Pekin, short of supplies and water.

The fact that it ia now within, ten miles of Tien- Tsin proves that Admiral Seymour was compelled to retreat, having apparent ly fought his way back to the point where he is now reported. In the meantime, nothing whatever has been allowed to reach the outside world from Pekin. The condition of affairs at that capital and the fate of the foreign Ambassadors 6 till remain shrouded in mystery, and although everybody hopes for the best, it would surprise no one if the worst forebodings indulged in by the pessimistic should come true. It is now apparent that the anti-foreign uprising ia spreading all over China, and only the presence of a strong force of foreign troops will suffice to put down the trouble and restore order. It is evident, from the fact that Brigadier General Chaffee is to be sent to China, that the administration at Washington has determined to send other.

troops besides the Ninth Infantry and the Sixth Cavalry. FOR CLEAN STREETS. The outcry for clean streets is loud and 'insistent, but what is so loudly called for will never be realized until the people themselves perform their share toward keeping them clean. The streets, even the most public and carefully paved thoroughfares, are constantly made depositories of sweepings and all aorta of rubbish. At any time of day, in Canal, Royal, Camp, St Charles, Carondelet and others of like prominence, persons may be seen sweeping trash into the gutters.

Now that the city is getting a costly system of underground drainage, it is more than ever necessary that paper and sweepings should not go into the gutters, because these clog the gratings that give access for the street water to jthe underground conduits. The depositing of trash and rubbish of all sorts in the gutters ia forbidden under penalties, and it would greatly conduce to proper results if the law were A few examples would arouse the people to the importance of helping to clean ihe streets. -Here is the city ordinance on the subject: -v y-- Section 1. That It hatl be unlawful for any person to throw Into any street or canal within the limits of the city any slops, or any animal, vegetable, fruit scraps, ref trash, paper, -wood, tin Iron, garbage, tllrt. offal, ashes or debris.

t. Sec. 2. That any person violating the provisions of tWa ordinance flthall be punished by a fine of not Jess than ilO or mare thaa S25, one-iilf of said fine, when collected, to go to the Informer, or In default of the payment of said fine, by imprisonment not exceeding thirty daya. Adopted, by.

The Picayune haa recelTed 'with the compliments of Colonel TJdolpho Wolfe, President of the Board of Trade, a neat, pamphlet containing the reports and addresses on the subject of the commercial and industrial value to New Orleans of an interoceanic canal which were prepared by a special committee of leading citizens to aid the Special Interoceanic Canal Commission now investigating the entire subject of an isthmian canal. Readers of the Picayune will remember that several weeks ago, a ubeommitteo representing the Canal Commission, consisting of Ex-Senator Pasco and Prof. Emory R.

Johnson, visited this city to secure data illustrative of the probable benefit to the commerce of this city of the building of an isthmian canal. It was for the benefit 'of this subcommittee and to facilitate them in their labors that the reports contained in the pamphlet just received were prepared. The reports prepared by the Citi zens' Committee were commented upon by the Picayune at the time, as pre senting the canal problem from a New Orleans standpoint more thoroughly than it was probably ever before presented. The labors of the general committee were divided and intrusted to several subcommittees. One of these subcommittees investigated and reported on the probable influence on the cotton trade by the building of an interoceanic canal.

Another handled the question from a railroad and trans portation standpoint; still another in vestigated the probable effect on im ports and exports, and a fourth con sidered the problems affecting ocean tonnage. These reports, together with the report of the Chairman of the general committee and the various addresses delivered, make up a most interesting pamphlet. STREETS AND LANDINGS NIGHT. TO- There will be in the Council cham ber at City Hall this evening a meeting of the Streets and Landings Com mittee to give a hearing on the Belt Railroad ordinance and on the Louisville afid Nashville demand for more trackway and privileges on the river front The woDle of New Orleans have Dlaved the spendthrift long enough with their franchises in the streets and landings. They owe it to themselves to be just for once in their history, and that is to be done by voting themselves space on the river front for a belt road.

The city engineer has said that there is plenty of room for it and for additional privileges to the roads. Then let the Council dedicate space for a double-track belt and mark off Its limits. After that, but not be fore, it will be in order to listen to the pleas of the Tailroads. Tha meeting to-nicht should attract the attention of the Americans are accustomed to great flg-trra of almost any fctnd In Telatlon to tii i-nit of California, saya the Cleve land Leader. It seems xatural to read of thousands of tons of raisins in that state and oranges fcy fhovsarda of carloads.

But who would estimate the grape mn of the strin of country aiong uie southern shore of lake Erie between a point about twenty-nve mliea west oi Buffalo and Sandusky at the lmmens total of 13S.OO0.00O to 150,000,000 pounds? That means nearly or quite two pounds for every man. woman and child In the United States, and yet the belt of country in lichirh the fin-awes are grown is so narrow that Its total area Is small. Some parts of It are very scantily provided -rih HnBTiirrta and no section Is wholly devoted to grape-growing. Yet It takes about T500 carloads to move the crop every year. An electrically lighted lightship Is to be stationed on the dangerous Diamond shoals off cape Hatteras.

This vessel win onmhin nisnr novel features. All attempts to keep a lighthouse on the Diamond shoals Have raiiea. me iasi being made several years ago, when a great Iron caisson was started In tow for the shoals, but was sunk In a gale before reaching them. The new ship Is 112 feet lone. 28 feet 6 Inches beam and 14 feet 10 Inches deep.

She will carry two hollow steel masts, eacn provided with a masthead cluster of six i(VUnlliMMwr incandescent lamps 59 feet above the water line. The electric generating plant has a duplicate set of engines and dynamos, so that accidental extinction of the lights Is veiy unlikely. To guard further against it though, the ship is provided with oil lamps also. The Hon. William E.

Castle, of Honolulu, a delegate to tha Republican national convention, saya the people are satisfied with the recent government bill and that there Is a remarkable Increase In population. ImmdJty after the pass age of the bUl a meeting was caned at which a Republican party was organized and steps ware taken to elect delegates to the national convention. Mr. Castle added: "There has also been a move ment In Honolulu looking toward the formation of a Democratic peTty, but when I left no active steps had been taken. There has been some, talk also of the formation of a native party to be composed wholly of native Kanakas, the rallying cry of which is to be opposition to the whites, but I do not believe that will amount to anything.

Two of the elected delegates to Philadelphia are natives and one was a prominent member of the queen's cabinet. At the time of the recent attack of the plague In Honolulu an Informal census was taken as a part of the systematic effort at stamping out the disease. To our great surprise we found that there were 45,000 people In. the city. At the last census there were 23,000.

This shows an increase of 22,000 people In five years. It Is a wonderful growth." Cook county was throw Into a flutter this morning by the dolorous Intelligence that Commissioner General Peck' did not arrive at the United States pavilion yesterday until President Loubet had paid his respects and departed, says the Chicago Poet Ambassador Porter did what he could to sustain the dignity and im portance of the American building, it Is evident that the-absence of.

Walsh, in the ahape of "an afternoon on the Seine," says the Paris Just before noon -the guests, numbering some 300, embarked on two bateaux-parlslens; which had been chartered and especially prepared for the occasion. Starting from the Louvre, the two boats, coupled together, steamed down the Seine In the direction of Sur-esnes. Lunch, which was of a most sumptuous character, was served, just after starting, the tables having, been taste fully arranged on deck la the open air under the awning. The day was perf feet, and the river In every way enchanting. Luncheon occupied most of the journey as far as Suresnes, the stage of coffee and cigars being about reached when the boat entered the lock.

Argen-teuil was reached about 3 o'clock, where a stop for a stroll ashore was made. The return Journey was commenced" about 4 o'clock, and as the temperature became cooler, the decks were cleared, and dancing Indulged In to the' strams of the excellent orchestra on Later tea was served, and Paris reached again about 7 o'clock, the trip the whole way having been absolutely ldeal not a thing lacking. The weather had been perfect. The decoration of the boats was voted most tasteful, an added charm being lent by the United States Guards, who were on board as a guard of honor, while last, but not least, the host and hostess had succeeded In putting everyone at their ease, and In making things go with that spontaneous geniality which is the whole art of hospitality. In short, a novel and admirable Idea had been faultlessly carried out, and Mr.

and Mrs. Walsh are to be heartily congratulated for Inaugurating what might with advantage become a more general custom. The guests, by the way, were representative of the American tcblony. Including all the haute personnel of the United States commission to the exhibition. In connection wlrh the various endeav ors that have been made -to learn some thing about the fate of Herr Andree's expedition, a particular Interest attaches, Just now.

This expedition will make a trip to King Charles Land, In order to search the Island carefully for traces of Herr Andree. will be remembered that his much talked of polar buoy was found on the north coast of IClng Chral Laadatc 80 i. degrees north latitude and 93, aegrc asc, longitude. Though the microscopic exami nation of the buoy gave no'reshlts.

It is hoped that other remnants of the Ill- fated balloon expedition may be found on the island. One laudable change' in England Is that A contempt ror commerce, wnicn once flourished la the nlgher social classes, is now everywhere discouraged, says the Youth's Companion. James Payn says that, sixty years ago the glided aristoc racy looked down on every one who derived his income from such a source, save bankers, whom they dared hot despise. Young men thought themselves heroic In preferring a profession, with probable penury, to an assured compe tence with their hands soiled by trade. This absurd prejudice Is now as much ridiculed by young men as by the old.

One aristocratic youth lately became engaged to the ward of. a gentleman belonging the old school, who thought It necessary to apologise for a certain blot on her scutcheon. "I nave to confess. my dear sir," said he. "tnat her family has been quite recently connected wVth trade.

"I am sorry" began the young man. gravely. "So am put In the old gentleman, testily. "But It can't be helped." "I was about to. say," con tinued the young man, "I am sorry tnat you should have thought me such a stu pendous donkey as to care twopence aoouc It." An Arbsone i delegate, tall, strongly built, wearing a huge sombrero and with a voice like the roll of a snare drum, climbed np on the telegraph desk In the Lafayette Hotel one night, says the New York Tribune.

He lurched unsteadi ly for a moment and then roared out: "We have come from Arizona, that great and grand state, to tell you benighted dwellers In this City of Brotherly Love that 'Teddy' Is all right 'Teddy Is Arizona's choice.

A year or two ago the students of Tufts College submitted to' the faculty of that institution a proposition that all violators- of the college rules should be tried by a student Jury, which should have absolute Jurisdiction, but which should look to the president of Tufts for guidance.
