NUMBER 3106 BIL WANT ADVERTISEMENTS PRICE ONE CENT. VENEZUELA TAKES DETERMINED STAND Consul of the South Amer ican Republic at Port of Spain Severs Reiations With Great Britain and Germany. Closes Consuiate and With draws—-European Powers Extend Their Thanks to United States Minister Bowen. The United States consul at Port of Spain, in the British Island of Trinidad, has notified the State Department that the Venezuelan consul there has closed Ris consulate and withdrawn. This in formation is important, as indicating a complete severance of relations between the Venezuelan government and the governments of England and Germany. Sir Michael Herbert, the ritish am bassador, and Herr von Holleben, the German ambassador, have requested Secretary Hay to convey to Herbert W. Bowen, United States minister at Cara. eas, the thanks of Great Britain ara Germany for his services in behalf of subjects of those countries, whe were arrested in Venezuela. A dispatch was received at the State Department from Minister Bowen con taining information of the capture and sinking of the Venezuelan gunboat off Laguayra by the allied forces of Great Britain and Germany. This information was requested by the State Department in a telegram to Min ister Bowen several days ago, in view of the conflicting statements in regard to the responsibility of either power. Minister Bowen has also been request ed to inform the department as to the truth of the report that just prior to the dosile action of he English and German fleets the Venezuelan President had for mulated a plan for the establishment of a national bank under European super vision. for the payment of the claims of the two countries.

In view of a knowledge of President Castro's character, and the receipt of in formation regarding the preparations now going on in Venezuela in defense of that country against the allied forces, the State Department is not sanguine as lo the good faith oi rPesident Castro in making the arbitration offer.

Neither do they think at this time af ter what practically amounts to a be ginning of hostilities that hte govern ments of Great Britain and Germany will accent the arbitration offer, the terms of which have been sent to the State De partment by Minister Bowen and trans mitted by Secretary Hay to the foreign olgcers of the two countries involved. The State Department has not received the text of President Castro's reply to the ultimatum of Great Britain and Ger many, which, zccording to an official statement issued in Berlin, was deliv ered last Sunday. The attention of State Department of ficials was called to the official state ment that President Castro in his reply had rejected unconditionally each and every term in the ultimatum.

It was said at the department that while Mr. Bowen may have been the means of transmitting the reply of the Venezuelan government 10 the proper of ficlals of the English and German gov ernments, he has sent no detailed in formation to (he State Department con cerning the matter.

BLOCKADES ON BRIDGE AND ELEVATED ROADS New York City Still Snow-Bound---Storm Connecticut. in NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The continua tion of yesterday's storm found the ele vated system of this city still disabled today, although conditions were not so bad as they were on Thursday night and yesterday. Little attempt was made last night or this morning to run the electric motor trains on the Sixth Avenue line, but as many trains as old steam locomotives could be provided for were sent out. The dail; blockade of trolley cars on the Brooklyn Bridge occured a little earlier thar usual this morning, and was long continuing. The discomfort of way farers was heightened by the snow and the cold. The conductors had left the ventilators open, and the wind shrieked through them. It was just the place where the full force of the snowstorm made itself Finally every one got adwn on the structure, unable to stand i. longer, and soon the bridge was black with persons walking toward this side. The cars, when enabled 10 finish their fcurney, contained only five or six pas gengers when they arrived at the New York side. ‘CONNECTICUT IN GRIP OF A SEVERE STORM NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 13.—The second severe spowstorm of the week be gan in Connecticut shortly after mid night.

Cooke from the Reform Schoo! for Girls, which was to have taken plac today, before Justice Barnard, was po.t poned until Saturday next When the matter came up last Saturday Justice Barpard allowed the young woman to go to the home of her husband, pending a final disposition. Assistant District Attorney Glassie, representing the Government and the Reform School authorities, today filed his answer to the petition for habeas corpus: He protests against the release of the woman, on the ground that she ie under the jurisdiction of the United States, and that no act of hers can vitiate or annul the control the Goy ernment has over her. MORE BRITISH AND GERMAN SHIPS ARRIVE LONDON, Dec. 13.—A dispatch from La Guaira says the British cruiser Charybdis and the German warships Vineta and Stosch arrived at that port on Friday and took up commanding po sitions in line of battle. The Venezuelan governmen! is removing all munitions into the fortresses. BRITISH PRESS IN AN UNEASY FRAME OF MIND Worried Over the Situation in Venezuela. FAVOR AMERICAN CONTROL The “Saturday Review” Declares Euro pean Concert Could Parcel Out Whole of South America. LONDON, Dee. 13.—The British press continues to express uneasiness as to the outcome of the trouble in Venezuela. The “Spectator” wishes the United States to assume the direct protecto rate pver all the South American states, the same as it now does over Cuba. The “Saturday Review,” on the other hand, says the reason the United States has not applied the Monrce Doctrine in the present instance was that they are powerless to do so. The statement that they would only interfere to prevent the loss of territory is an idle boast, and must remain so, as long as the Ameri can navy is not equal to the combined pavies of the European powers. Territorial Ambition. “Suppose, for example, that either Germany or England had territorial am bitions in South America, and were de termined to use the present disvute to gratify them, could the United States prevent either power from taking as much territory as they pleased? The United States navy gives a negative an swer.” The “Review” continues te show that the European concert could parcel out the whole of South America. It says President Roosevelt's declarations gore valueless. Snowplows were kept running ail night in practically ail the cities and towns of the State. Trolley schedules, however had to be abandoned again be the storm early this merping. ER) rat when they could get through without regard to regular connections. The worst feature of the storm wis the impossibility of coal trafic. The New Haven Harbor is frozen so badly that only a small channel remains. Al though the stee] clad steamers of the regular New York lines will be able to foree thel> way through, it looks now as if coal barges would be unable to make the local port for some time. Suffering Among the Poor. In this city the terridc amount of suf fering which has been experienced among tke poorer classes of people is just now entranced by the fact that there is only coal enough on hand in local schools to keep them running a single day longer. The beard of education has thirty tong promised for next Monday, but that amount will keep the schools running only a day or two and the board now sees no aiternative but to close the pub. lic schools next week. No relief is promised by the local coal dealers who say that their supply ls exhausted. At Yale the situation is acute, althougt the officials are making an effort to run the heating plant and the commons hy soft coal supply. As the university will close next week, on Wednesday, for a month's vacation, the situation may be relieved before another school begins, CONTRACT AWARDED) T0 GOPE STEWARTSON Philadeiphia Firm to Design New Municipal Building.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, Supreme Court Bar Meets to Pay Tribute to Jurist Who Died in Office on September 15 Last. MR. HOAR'S EULOGY Veteran Statesman Says He De serves Place Among the Great Judges of the World—Resolu tions Adopted. Members of the bar practicing before the Supreme Court of the United States met at noon today in the courtroom to ‘pay tribute to the efficient public service 0 the late Horace Gray. an associate justice of the court, who died on Septem- ber 15. ~The bar organized by selecting Besator (George F. Hoar of Massachusetts chair man and James F, McKenney, clerk of the Supreme Court, secretary. Upon tak ing the chair Senator Hoar made a eulo gistic address. Senator Hoar'’s Speech, He said: “The bar of the Supreme Court of th United States come together to pay a tribute of honor to a great lawyer and judge. 1 shall have, I am sure, another opportunity to put on record my own sense of the irreparable logs of a dear friend and comrade of more than fifty years. Today we are to speak, as mem bers of the bar, of an honored judg~ whom the inexorable shaft has stricken in his high place. “Horace Gray. laie Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in Boston on the 24th of March, 1828. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1845; from the Har vard Law School in 184%; was appointed associate justice of the supreme judicial court of Magsachusetts August 23 1864; chief justice of that court September 5, 187%, and commissioned an Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court of the United States December 20, 1881. Last Appearance. “His oath of office as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, by the of the constitu aperation tion of E ts, vacated his office of chief justice 3 his seat jn Supreme Court of the January 9 1882. He was the fr On the 5th day of July, 1902, he sent his resignation to the President, to take ef fect on the appointment and qualifying of his svceessor. So, he died in office, September 15, 1902. ‘ebr “The intellectual and moral qualities (and the tastes which placed Judge Gray (among the eminent lawyers of Massachu (setts and of the country, from the time (of bis admission to the bar until his (death, came to him by lawful inheritance. His grandfather, William Gray, was one (of the foremost and most successful mer chants of the country. “A Great Judge.” “Judge Gray's opinions for the eigh teen years in which he sat on the bench of Massachusetts constitute an import ant body of jurisprudence, from which the student can learn the whole range of the law as it rests on princiule and on authority. He took his place easily among the great judges of the world, He bore himself in his great office so, I be lieve, as to command the approbation of his countrymen of all sections, and of {all parties. He has been every inch a Judge. He has maintained the dignity of his office everywhere. He has endeared himself to a large circle of friends here at the Nationa! Capital by his elegant and graclous hospitality, “His life certainly has been fortunate. The desire of his youth has been fulfiil i ed. From the time more than fifty years ago, when he devoted himself to bis pro fession, there has been, I suppose, no moment when he did not regard the of fice of a justice of the Supreme Court as not only the most attractive, but also the loftiest of human occupations.” The Resolutions. The following resolutions were adopt 1 ed: “The bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, deploring the recent death {oi Horace Gray, an associate justice of the court,-would put upon record a ortet memorial of their esteem and ad miration for bid judicial achlevements, as well as for his qualities as a man. Therefore, be it, “Resolved, That we of the bar are met together to pay tribute to the mem {ory of an able lawyer, a scholar versed in the learning of the books, and a judge who never failed to upbold the dignity of his office. He did his work thor oughly and with scrupulous efforts to dispense exact justice; “Resolved, That the labors of Mr. Jus tice Gray, which have been constant and arduous, are deserving sf the country's gratitude. He spared nothing of health lor of strength. With patience he ex plored the sources of the law and ga'h ered from the past much that proved of value in its application to the needs of the present. Of sound judicial instincts, {he year by year visibly grew alike in clearness of vision and in breadth of ap preheneion, until in these later days his ripened powers declared him 10 be a fit {example of the strong and truly great 1 judge. “Resoivaed, That we shall cver cherish 2 remembrance of the manly qualities of our deceased brother. Large of stature, vigorous and firm in demeanor, it needed but a slight snequaintance with the real man to rocoguize in Mr. Justice Gray a generous, noble spirit, a pure-minded, brave and Christlan gentleman. “Resolved, That the Attorney General be asked to present these resolutions to the court wiil the request that they be entered upon the records: and that the secretary of this meeting be directed to send to the widow and family of the laie Mr, Justice Gray a copy of these resolu. tiong as an expression of our sympathy for them in the loss they have been called upon to sustain.” A “THINGS LOOK SERIOUS; A MONEY CRASH IS COMING” 1902. —JAMES J. HILL LUGAL GOAL SITUATION MORE SERIOUS THAN EVER Supply of Dealers Almost Entirely Exhausted. OUTLOOK VERY GLOOMY Practically Impossible to Secure Suf ficient Suppiy to Meet Ac tual Daily Needs. “Ai no time since the coal strike was declared have the conditions been more serious in Washington than at present,” was the statement made today by one of the largest coal dealers in the city. It is practically impossible to induce any of the dealers to permit their names to be used in connection with statements as to the situation as they say that pub lic announcements draw attention to them and increase the crowds of people which already fill their offices. “When my teams are taken off the streei tonight I will have delivered every pound of anthracite coal in my pos session, and for the first time since 1 entered the business will be entirely without a supply. Unless fresh ship ments arrive Monday morning, I will have no coal for my customers. Two Cars Today. “1 received only two curs of coal today and the rapidity with which the large receipts of yesterday were absorbed throughout the eity was surprising. Most of it was for the Government and to fll existing and leng continued contracts. “The bituminous outlook is even more gloomy. Our supply is practically ex hausted and all morning have been searching the railroad yards for cars that should have reached me several days ago. We have also used the tele. phone and telegraph liberally in an ef fort to obtain from elsewhere, but with. out result. fear that many of those who hold contracts with us will have to go without coal today. “The miiuvanes which we have been To the sr is likely to be curtailed owing to the serious conditions existing in New York city and other northern points. There is practically no reserve supply in the city today and for the past week the ‘consumption has been greater than the receipts.” Ope of the Government departments this morning paid $7 a ton for fifty tons of soft coal. After canvassing over a dozen dealers this morning one of the local theaters was compelled to pay 3% for a rlugle ton of soft coal to heat the ‘house for the matinee. There are thousands of people in Wash ington today who have been endeavoring to obtain coal for the last month, but who have yet to receive their first supply. On the other hand the dealers assert that ‘many cellars have been filled to over flowing with more than enough coal to meet the demands of the occupants for the entire wintar. It is due to the greed of such people, the dealers say, that the thousands are deprived of coal. Several dealers have instructed their drivers to refuse to deliver coal when they find a supply in the cellars of those to whom they are carrying coal. TRUST HEARING BEGINS IN HOUSE COMMITTEE Representatives Tall: of Measures Now Before Lower Body in Congtess.

Hearings on the trust question were begun this morning by the subecom mittee of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee appointed to con sider the various anti-trust bills now pending before Congress. Representa tive Littlefield of Maine, chairman of the subcommittee, presided. Edward Morrell, Representative of the Fifth Pennsylvania district, was first heard in support of the House joint reso iution previding for the appropriation of $250,000 for the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law, introduced by him. Representative Morrell said he bhe lieved the existing legislation against trusts was sufficient, if enforced, and that funds should be furnished the Attorney General for its enforcement. He was of the opinion that the Attorney General had intimated that he needed additions! funds and that his authority was ample fo cope with the trust prob lem. J}: presented an additional para graph to his resolution authorizing the Attorney General te appoint assistant attorney: tc aid him in prosecutions. Representative F. 11. Gillet: of Massa chusetts spoke in support of the House bill, which proposes to regulate f‘rans portation of property owned or manu factured by allege’ unlawful combina tions, If any Sate should forbid a trust or corporation te operate, he said, the United States should step in and sa” that its goods or manufactures should not be transported into or from that State, but should confiscate and condemn such manufactures.

AFFECTS LICENSE FEES Contention of Local Representatives as to Time of Paying Tax Fully Upheld. The District Commissioners today is sued a ruling in favor of the insurance companies with reference to the pay ment of the annua! tax required on the amount received each year from “net premiums.” Their action was taken at the close of a public hearing on the questions at issue petween the local in surance agents and the department on the subject. It reverses a former ruling by the Insvrance Department. The agents were represented at the hearing by W. F. Trummel of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, and by Jefferson Pierce, the local repre sentative of several life insurance com panies. The contention of the companies was ‘that the interpretation of the insurance law given by A. B. Duvall, the Corpora ‘tion Counsel, is wrong, and the appeal was made to the Commissioners to re verse it. The law referred to is contained in the District code, and provided that on or before March 1 each year insurance com ‘panies shall pay to the Collector of Taxes a sum equal to 13% per cent on the “net premiums” received from the issue of policies within the preceding calendar year. The ruling given by the Corporation Counsel was that the tax for the year 1992 was payable on or be fore March 1, based upon the premiums received in 1901. The companies, on the other hand, ‘maintain that the tax for 1502 is not due Jmtil March 1, 1903, reckoned on the basis of the business done i nthe ecalen dar ¥eak.1902, They maintain that t cods went intp effect on January 1, and that under the old law they had then paid a tax of 1 per cent of the premi ums received for the first half of 1901, ‘and that under the operations of that law the companies were required to pay, and the majority of them did pay, the second half tax for 1991 on or before Fol ary 5, 1902. The position of the companies was set forth clearly by Mr. Trummel and Mr. Pierce. the latter reading a brief argu ment and citing the laws of New York, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey E Michigan, in support of their side of

the question. Mr. Trummel made a strong point by showing that the ruling of the Corporation Counsel was not only double taxation, but that in case the re celpts for the year were less than in 1901, the companies would be required to pay on business not transacted. Another point raised was that the new companies starting in business in 1902 would escape taxation for one year, while the continuing companies would pay their taxes in advance, a principle contrary to that underiying levies on real estate and jersonal property. ‘them to be illegally made, should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, snd fined on conviction a sum not exceed ing $20,000. Representative Henry CC. Smith of Michigan spoke for the House joint resolution proposing to amend the Con stitution of the United States so as to confer power on Congress 10 define, regulate, prohibit, and dissolve tiructs and monopolies, whether existing in cor poration form or otherwise, and iaclud ing common. carriers. Mr. Smith said he believed the present example of cor porate power shown in the coal flelds should illustrate plainly the facet that Congress has not the control over large ‘corperaticns, which it should have. Mr». Smith said he thought there should be no partisanship in the matter, and all parties should unite in controil ing’ the trusts. Representative A. C. Shalleaberger of Nebraska supported his bill to provide for publication of reports of corpora tions, and to provide for a commission named by the President to regulate ond control corporations.

Hill, president of the Northera Securities Company, arrived in Chicago last night from New York on his way to St. Paul. He was seen later at the Chicago Club, aud when asked about the financial sit uation in New York, he said: “i am disposcd to be cheerful about most things. But I can’t see anything in the present financial situation to cause. me to do any rejoicing. “Things look serious. This country has reached the top of its prosperity. If the serious downward movement has not already begun, it is not far off. Reasons for Alarm. “There are more reasons than one for this. Chief among them is the uncer tain state of mind in which the New York men find themseives from day to day. Urceriainty is the worst thing on earth for the moneyed interests of a country. “They fear the United States will be drawn into a war with England and Ger many over the Venezuelan trouble.

Underwood, president of the Erie system. It was stated in this connection that Mr. Hill would utilize a large portion of his time in the presidency of the North ern Securities Company, which is a crea ture of his making, and which promises to play an exceedingly important part in the railroad world of the Northwest.

Should this prove true. it is the purpose of Mr. Hill to extend the security holdings of the 2400,060,000 corporation and strength en his position. in the Northwest by the purchase of several additional railroad properties.

FISSURED SMOKESTACK THREATENS EMPLOYEES 4 a PR _ Alarm Felt at Bureau of En graving and Printing Over Extension of Crevice in Brick Structure. NJ 4 5 a 2 A Should It Fall, Most Dense ly Populated Portion of Building Would Be in Its Path—Plans tor Safety. An extension of the fevice that ap peared in the stack at the Bureau of En graving and Printing shortly after it was buiit, nine years ago, has caused alarm among the many employes of that build ing. K WE, Ea TR The stack is over two hundred feet high and weighs many tons. The crack, which has existed for years, has recently extended several feet toward the base, and there is further evidence of the set tling of the towering chimney. The crack, furthermore, extends around on the side next to the money factory, and if it shouid fail the most densely popu lated portion of the big building would be directly in its path. The matter has been brought to the attention of Director Meredith, and immediate steps will prob #tly be taken to strengthen the structure. Largest in City. The stack is probably the largest one f its kind in the city. It was built eight or nine years ago in response to demands for increased power for the many machines that were added to the printing plant. Shortly after its comple tion a crack appeared in its side about 115 feet above the ground. But little at tention was paid to it at first, but as it increased in length experts were called in to examine it. These madc a careful examination at the time, and announced that in their opinion the parting of the bricks was due 10 a too sudden heating of the stack after its completion. They also reported that there may have been a weakness due to the cement mortar used. The stability of the stack, they believed, was not af fected by the break, which seemed to be superficial. As no further extension of the crevice was nocd for several years the mattei was forgotien. Fiecently several of the employes of the office have detected an extension of the break, and yesterday several local busi ness men who were passing the building announced that they detected smoke ‘coming from a portion of the cracked surface. This, they said, indicated that the fissure had penetrated the entire thickness of the huge stack and indi cated a most dangerous condition of af fairs, Moredith Aroused In response to the inquiries of a Times’ reporter this morning, Director Mere dith said that he passed under the stack every day, and that in his opinion the towering funnel was as solid as the Washington Monument. He immediate ly sent for C. A. Blatchley, the engineer in charge of the plant, and questioned him concerning the matter. Mr. Blatch ley said that he had not noted any ex tension of the crack, and that because of an interior lining, separated by an air space from the outer walls of the stack, #t was, in his opinion, impossible for smoke to have escaped from the side of the stack as had been reported. He did not believe that thére was any weakness in the structure, but recom mended that iron bands be placed around the damaged portion of the stack, and that the stone coping at the top be re placed with a metal cap that would bring the bricks together, and add strength to the structure. Director Meredith said that whatever steps were necessary for the protection of his em ployes and the property would be taken. The crack is disinetly visible from the street. It begins about ¥90 feet from the ground on the Fourieenth Street side, and twining around to the side ad Joining the main building, is lost be tween thirty-five and forty feet higher in the air. It is probable that Govern ment experts will be called upon to make a thorough examinatian of the smoke pack and such meashres iaken to strengihen it as may bé necessary GENERAL LEE SAYS WE SHOULD OWN CUBA Acted on Sentiment Instead of Wisdom in Making People of the Island Independent.

J, Dec, 13.—Lakewood ‘has a brand new sensation in James Ho bari Moore, tie Chicago millionaire, who burst upon the town one week ago with a brilliancy that promises to dim even the Justre of the fabulous Gould millions, He arrived in his private train of six the luster of the fabulous Gould millions. a stable of twenty-six horses, most of them blue ribbon winners, and fourin ‘hands, brakes, victorias, and traps ga lore. He sheds a shower of gold wherever he goes and everyone in Lakewood is try ing to get under. He never gives a tip less than $10. The bell boys at the Lau rel House, where he occupies a magnifi cent suite of rooms, are getting rich. ‘Whenever his bell rings their rush fair ly shakes the building. Mr. Moore now ‘enjoys the reputation of being the most lavish and prodigal of all the million ‘aires who have ever visited Lakewood. He brought with him an orchestra to which he took a fancy at Hot Springs, Via. He had a toothache the other day and next there appeared on the scene a dentist and a private dentist's chair from Chicago. Mr. Moore carries his physician, Dr. HH. L. Kriight, of St. louis, with him. He offers the use of hiv horses to his ac quaintances, and when one took a special fancy to an animal Mr. Moore gave it to him. He went to New York the other day and brought home an $80,000 emer ald, surrounded with diamonds, for his wife. George Gould has extended the hospi tality of Georgian Court to Mr. Moore and his party. Every morning the Chi cago millionaire drives ‘his four-in-hand over the smooth roads around Lake wood, and in the afternoon rides his herses in Mr. Gould's private tanbark ring. Mr. Moore's visit will be extended till January 1, so that his son, who is at Yale, can come cn and spend his holi days with his family. After that the pri vate train and party will depart for Palm Beach. Mr. Moore is a member of the firm of Mocre Bros., of Chicago, which promoted the tin plate, match, and other trusts. His wealth is estimated at anywhere from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. He doesn’t know just how rich he is. Several years ago the firm failed, but paid all of its debts. Like Charles M. Schwab, Mr. Moore started life as a poor young man, and work. hard until a year ago. Like Mr. Schwab, he is now reveling in his riches and spends his millions with sensational LIQUOR IN CAPITOL TO BE PUT UP TO HOUSE Senate Said to Be Willing to Pass Re pealing Bill Introduced by Representatives. The question of selling -liguor in the House of Representatives restaumnt is still causing the members much uneasi noss. The latest proposition, according te the Senate side of the question, is to pass the provision along with the immigration bill, let it become a law and then repeal it—provided the members of the House itself will introduce and pass the re ‘pealer. By this course, it is explained, ‘the Senate would get even for its little joke, and it would be “up to” the House to express its own desire for a toddy. “If the House really wants the sale of liquor continued,” to quote the way a Senator put it today, “why did it pass the prohibitory provision?” As the matter now stands the House is completely at the mercy of the Sen ate, and about the only thing. that it can do is to await final action on the intmigration bill and hope for the best. As action on the immigration bill is ‘not likely to be had until after the Statehood bill has been either passed or killed, it is likely that it will be a week or more before the House will know its fate.

PRIZE TO BE WON BY INCHES Leaders Now Over Two Hundred Miles Behind the Record—Bedell a Vic tim of Many Collisions. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.— The fourteen bicyclists at the Garden are on the home stretch of their six-day race, They will finish their awful grind at 10 o'clock to. night. Before that hour, a heartbreak ing spurt for possession of the first prize is expected. Two teams, Jacobson and Newkirk, and Leander and Krebs, are still tied for first place. Three teams are tied for second place, one lap behind the leaders. If nothing happens to change this state of affairs the result of the spurt in the last mile ean be easily figured out. Last year the race was won by inches, and. bar ring accidents, tonight's Boish will be the same. There was little speeding early today with the exception of the sprint at tempted by Jacobson, He shot out from the bunch bent on gaining a lap on Le ander and Krebs. All the other riders, however, with the exception of Galvin and Barclay, kept with him. The latter pair were lapped once. They did not seem to care. Bedell and Floyd Collide. A few minutes after 9 o'clock this morning Jehn Bedell and Floyd Krebs collided while rounding the west curve, and both went down. Krebs picked him self up, remounted, and joined the other riders on the next time around. Bedell was shaken up quite severely, and had to be relieved. John Bedell has been the victim of more spills than any man in the race. His legs, arms and head are co:npletely covered with bandages and he looks more like the victim of a subway explosion than a six-day bicycle rider. Despite his many injuries and batter ed-up condition, John Bedell is on the track three-fourths of the time because of his brother's weakened condition. Menus Bedell, according to the state ments oi his trainers, has been under the influence of “dope” since Wednes day night, when he was so discouraged because of the trouble his eyes caused him that he threatened to quit. ome” ala fl a 10 ¢'Clock Score, Miles.

WESTERN NATIONAL AND BANK OF U. 5. MERGE. _— Financial Interests of B Concerns Consolidated

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—A banking con solidation was announced today which will bring into harmony the large insur ance and financial interests of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Equitable Life Assurance Society and the Morton Trust Company. This result was brought about at meetings of the directors of the National Bank of the United States, which was acquired some

months ago by the interests which con trol the Morton Trust Company and ol the Western National Bank.

The directors of the Bank of the Uniteu States voted to amalgamate with th. Western and to raise the capital to $10, Ow, vn. ‘tae directors of the Weste Nauonal Bank, in which the Equitable largely interested, voted to fuse wit the National Bank of the United Stat upon a basis mutually agreed upon 1 the interests in control.

The new bank will continue under th management of V. P. Snyder, the pres: dent of the Western, who has had Jarge a share in the remarkable succes of that institution, and will occupy f« the present the offices of the Wester; National Bank. The new institution will be known as the Western National Bank of the United States. The vice presidents wii be Richard A, McCurdy, president of the Mutual Life; James H. Hyde, vice presi dent of the Equitable Life, and Thomas F. Ryan, vice president ol the Morto: Trust Company. This union of forces will bring tc gether several of the most powerful financial interests in the city, and wil create a banking institution hardly sec ond to any in New York in its backin end in the interests with which it will be affliated A £5 in 7 CONDUCTED BUREAU OF PLAYWRIGHTS AND AUTHORS IIA Bi PARIS, Dec. 13.—Clarence Andrews, formerly of New York, who died here yesterday, conducted the bureau of playwrights and authors in Paris.

The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is largely because it not only cures ca tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who used these tab'ets know what they are taking into their systems. Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets being composed of Hed Gum, Blood Root, and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal passages and whole respiratory tract.

Owing to the fact that there was no session of the Senate yesterday, the Comniittee on I'umigration continued its public hearings and completed its labors. No definite action was taken in regard to the educational test clause over which there is contention. Transportation com panies generally are opposed to this feature of the bill and several Senators have spoken against it. The Bureau of Immigration desires the retention of the clause, but is willing to sacrifice it in order to secure the success of the meas Cre. The witnesses before the committee vesterday were Commissioner General of l'nmigration, Frank P. Sargent; Inspec ors R, K, Campbell and Robert wat. ‘norn; Commissioner David Healey, with headquarter at Victoria, B. C.; H. H. “uller, of the Brotherhood of Locomo ive Engineers; James A. Sullivan, rep csenting the Engravers and Printers, ud John M. Farquhar, ex-member of ‘ongress and a former member of the dustrial Commission. Commissioner Sargent was particularly vsirous of the retention of tks provi in for the £2 a head tax. He said the acreased vigilance necessary to proper y guard the Canadian and Mexican orders demands more money to Carry i the work. He declared that the plea si unlimpited immigration is from the sasportation companies alone and not om the manufacturers and ‘armers. inspector Watchorn, in charge of the nited States immigration iunspection ervice in Canada with headquarters at ‘outreai, advocated the elimination of provision of the bill as it now stands «epting railroad lines from contiguous ‘ritory from the penalty for bringing insane, diseased or idiotic aliens. He 50 said the bill would be improved if i! the provisions relating to Canada culd be stricken out, except section 33, Jacing the entire regulaticn of border mmigration in the hands of the Govern ‘ent bureau. \USTRALIAN RAILWAY ACROSS CONTINENT ids for Construction to Be Advertised for in America, England, Ger many, and France.

The Rev. Dr. James H. W. Blake, of kron, Ohio, who was called by the ‘estry of Christ Episcopal Church to iil Je position of rector, made vacant by he recent death of the Rev. A, R. Stu rt, has accepted the charge. The announcement was made by Henry datthews, one of the vestrymen, this norning. The date upon which Dr. Nake will assume the charge has not een announced, although his arrival in own a few days ago indicates that it vill be soon. A Christ Church's new rector resigned his charge of St. Paul's Episcopal “hurch of Akron, Ohio, in order to ac cept the rectorate of the loeal church. He was a prominent member of the Ohio Episcopal diocese. He is a native of Maryland, having been born in An rapolis about forty-five years ago. He entered the Episcopal ministry when he was but twenly years of age, and has since held charges in Tiffin, Ohio: La favette, Ind., and Akron, Ohio. He is very well known by Washington Epis copalians, and is conceded to be an elo quent speaker. The Great Falls and Old Dominion Electric Railroad Company, it Is sald, will begin the construction of the road in the early spring, providing that Con gress permits the company to cross the Aqueduct Bridge. When the matier was presented before Congress a few days ago it was favorably reported upon, The proposed line will run from M Street and the Aqueduct Bridge along the Virginia banks of the Potomae to Great Falls. If the company succeeds in ercesing the bridge much of the ered it will be due the Georgetown Citizens’ Asscelation, which has so strongly in dorsed the bill.

He was thrown to the ground, etriking his mouth against the asphalt pavement. Two of his front teeth were broken off. Yesterday morn ing, Coleman and Miller appeared In court to answer the charge of assault and battery, preferred by the father of the injured boy. Harvey, told the court that his injuries were due to an acel dent, and that his two companions were in no way to blame. The case was dis missed. Mizpah Chapter, No. 8, 0. E.

MUCH IN DEMAND AS FUEL Dividends for This Year on Capital of $100,000,000 Amount to $45,000,000. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—0il has again Rone up a cent or more a gallon. Tae scarcity of coal drove the people to using gas stoves in increasing quantities. Similarly the sale of oil stoves increased tremendously last fall and this winter. Manufacturers were unable to deliver enough gas stoves to meet the demand, and simultaneously the Standard Oil Company came forward with a new wickless burner and disposed of thous ands of additional oil stoves and heaters. Then the experiment of burning oil for fuel on locomotives and steam ships turned out successfully. The Southern Pacific Railway, the Hawaiian Steamship Company, and a company running steamers from Texas to New York followed suit, and other customers heretofore not reached made a now mar TW Two weeks zgo the Stendard Oi! Com pany advanced the price to jobbers a cent n gallon. This means an fhcrease in-income cf $8,000,000 annually on sales in the United Siates alone, as the oil trust controls 9% per cent of all the petroleum produced in this country. The Standard Oil Company dividends for this year amount to $45,000,000, or 46 per cent on a capital of 2100,000,000. The quarterly dividends have been 20, 10, 5, and 10 per cent, respectively. On December 15 the dividends for the last quarter will be paid. Last year, and in 1900 also, the dividends amounted to 48 per cent, but this year an enormous sum has been expended in “‘better ments;” that is, buying new properiies in Texas and elsewhere, and in building new vessels for the carrving trade. The following table furnishes a com parison between the dividends for the last ix vears: BBOR erivsaseiiri arse nina 30,000,000 hE TE ARN et 33,000,000 LP RA RS A a 48, 060 RBA as Faas dneisianie vnsssnnsn 48,000,000 1902— First quarter 20,000,000 Second quarter 10,000,000 Third quarter 5,000,000 Fourth quarter 10,000,000 On a capital stock of 100,000,000 Thus the latest increase in cost to local consumers may be understood as tending to equalize the returns to the stockholders to the normal figures of 1901 and 1900. To the average house holder it means that a gallon of kero sene oil wil! cost from 12 to 13% cents a gallon hereafter, vnless the oll mag nates should decide upon another squeeze, tions, and a sleight-of-hand performance.

The importance of labor unions in the economic and industrial development of the country, and their responsibility to the community, was the subject of the second lecture in the course upon trusts and trades unions at the Columbian University Thursday afternoon by Dr. Charles W. Needham, president of that institution. After reviewing the history of the craft guilds as they existed in England from the time of Henry I, he deflned the union of today as “a continuous asso ciation of wage-earners for the purpose of improving the conditions of their employment.” He statéd that they are the outgrowth of the civilized and in dustrial conditions o! the present day; that such combinations are strictly law ful, but subject to the control and di rection of the State to prevent unlawful acts. “The old theory that a man could be compelled to work for fixed wages, like complete slavery, had passed away, and that it was now recognized that a man had complete control of his own services, and could fix hie own price, and that if the price was not accorded him, he might refuse to work.” Carry ing this thought up a little further, “it is held to be lawful that what the in dividual aay do himself, may also be done by groups of men.” Discussing the nature of the organi zation, he stated that this must be considered from two standards: First, that of the State, aad second, that of the individual members. It is contrary to the policy of every civilized State that there should b> unorganized groups of men interferine with the peace and industrial welfare the State. An un organized group <'sturbiag the peace is prohibited as beiny; a “riot;” it is a group of men without responsible lead ership doing unlawful acts. Capital must organize itself into cor porations, in order that it may manage its force, be responsible for its acts, and be subject as an organization to the laws of the land. Laborers, if permit ted to act in groups, should also be le gally organized or incorporated under the leadership of officers duly elected, directing their force through elected boards, and be, as an organization, sub ject to the law, and responsible for their acts. This is in the interest of the State, so that it ean then deal directly with the organization, as it may with organizations of capital, and prohibit and punish unlawful acts, and hold the organizetion respousible for injuries to the persons and property committed by or under the direction eof the associu tion, thus holding these groups to a high degree of responsibility. Where this condition exists there will be greater care on the part of the or ganization, first, in the election of re sponsible leaders; second, in confining the action of the body and the mem bers to lawful parposes and means. The improvement in leadership, the recogni tion of all laws for the preservation of order and the protection of private property will operate to the henefit and uplift of the indivi*ual member of the association, making him a better citizen, and making the _. orp a power and in fluence for good in bettering individual and industrial conditions. In his lecture next Thursday at 4:20 o'clock, Dr. Needham will treat of some of the evils of trusts and trades unions.

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 13.—Thousands of admirers of the historical capitol building who, for old association's sake, are opposed to having it modernized are delighted at the action of the senate Thursday in practically rejecting the lately accepted plans which had been prepared jointly by Noland and Basker ville, of Richmond, and Frye and Ches terman, of Lynchburg. Mr. Wickham, in reply to a question of Senator Keezell, stated on the floor of the senate that the capitol commission had made a mistake in adopting these plans and that a motion was now before the commission to reconsider that ac tion, and witliout question it would be carried, The dileoma. of the commission was brought to the senate’s attention first by Senator Gold, who offered two bilis—one repealing the appropriation of $100,000 for improvements to the capitol, and the other appropriating $25,000 for ihat pur pose which would of necessity limit im provements to mere renovation, The capitol is to keep the present ar rangements of ali its rcoms. The hall of the house of delegates, the senate cham ber, ofiices and committee rooms will all remain where they are. The building will be repaired thoroughly in exterior and interior; weak timbers will be strength ened or replaced by new; walls will be replasiered, a new roof will be put on and the building will be completely re furnished, new chairs and new desks for both branches being supplied; the win dows fitted with new curtains and the floors with new carpeis. The heating ap paratus will be removed altogether and a new plant will be erected in the rear of the Library Building, which will sup ply heat for the capitol, the library of fices and the governor's mansion. The proposed steps leading to the southern portico, about which there has been =o much discussion will not be erected; no material changes will he mad in the arrangements of any of the rcoms of the building; the senate cham ber, about the removal of which there has been some talk, will remain just where it is, the dcor opening upon the portico will remaia closed and the hall of the house of delegates will experience ncne of the changes of galleries as first contemplated. To sum up: The capitol will be given 2 new suit of clothes, put in a new, clean dress out and out, but will not be changed one iota in exterior appearance or interior arrangements. The capitol commission has now a clear field and its general limitations prescribed for it. When its task is com pleted Virginians will note nothing strange in the exterior or interior ap pearance of the building, familiar and loved by all. FULL OF HOLY SMOKE. Little Helen had gone with her mother to make a call Sunday afternoen and growing tired of the uninteresting con versation relative to gowns, hats and other subjects dear to the heart of femininity, but quite unintelligible to juvenile minds, strolled out to the street in search of diversion. The afternoon service was in progress in a Catholic church next door and, at tracted by the music of the choir, Helen determined to enter and enjoy it. She did not stop at the back of the church but proceeded up to the front pew and took a seat. The lights on the high altar and the scent of the incense used in the service attracted her even more than the music had done at first and she remained until the conclusion. When she returned her mother re proved her severely for going away and concluded the scolding by evidencing her consciousness of the strong odor of incense pervading Helen's clothes. “Dear me, Helen, you are simply satu rated with that horrid stuff,” she said. Helen drew herself up and said with an air of mixed dignity and reverence, “Mamma, you shouldn't talk that way. That's holy smoke.” EXPELLED FOR PLAGIARISM.

Prayer Meeting Topics for Sunday, December 14, Palins exxxiii:13; I Cor. xii:12-27. The motto of Christian Endeavor is “For Christ and the Church.” Christ's kingdom has first place in our hearts, but next to that, and as our part in his king dom and his se.vice we must be faithful to our own church. Denominational loy alty then, is a cardinal principle of Christian endeavor. Each Endeavorer is pledged to faithfully support his own church in every way, and anyone who is not faithful to his own church and his own denomination is not a true Christian Endeavorer, But denomination_1 joyalty does not in terfere with inter-denominational fellow ship, and while each one of us ought to love, and does love, his own church most, we recognize the fact that there are good Christians iu ail denominations, and that denominational differences, while distinct and marked, are no bar to the Kkindliest feelings and Christian fellow ship. We recognize denominational lines, but we regard them only as lines, and not barriers. The world is to be won for Christ, but this is not to be done through any one denomination, but through sil denomina tions; and the Increased progress and growth of the Christian Church in the last 1venty or thirty years has been duc largely to the faci ihat the different de nominations have ceased to oppose each other, but are working together toward the one great ond. Christian fellowship had been exem plified in the last half century in the Young Men's Christian Association, and later in the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union. Another interdenomination al organization which 1s less than ten years old, but which has already accom plished a great work for temperance, is the Anti-Saloon League. The great good which all of these organizations have done and are doing show what great blessings result from the fellowship of Christian people of different denomina tions joining together to do God's work. The Christian Endeavor Soeclety, since Its orgapizabtion in 1581, has done much to promote the growth of interdenomi national fellowship, of friendly feeling aud sympathy among Christians of the Episcopal.

The following from the ““Endeavorer’'s Dally Companion” for 1902 aptly ex presses both the inter-denominational principles and the denominational adaptabllities of Christian Endeavors: “One of the special advantages of Christian Endeavor over all other forms of young people's societies is that it seeks to promote Christian fellowship among the denomivatigns. This is net In the least prejudicial to strict denomina tional control. In fact, many denomina tions that contain nothing but Christian Endeavor societies have banded their young people into denominational Chris tian Endeavor unions, which meet an nually, and do everything that would De done by the strictest sectarian societies.” The Gunton Temple, Y.

I SAMUEL iii:6-14. Golden text: “Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth.” [I Sam. iii:9. An Ideal Boy. Samuel was an ideal boy. His life. as he grew to full manhood, would make a good model for any boy to follow. Liv ing in a rough age, there was nothing rough about him. There was a refine ment and ioftiness of character about him that would have fit in well with any age, however civilized, humane, and spir itual in type it might be. Although Samuel was gentle in spirit, he possessed strong and heroic moral qualities also. He was a symmetrical, well-rounded man, both good and great, well aeve:r oped in all his faculties, useful to his generation, playing an important part as a statesman and prophet in the history of his people. “In versatility of genius, he was not so grea: as Moses; as a war rior he was not so renowned as David; as a prophet he was not so eloquent as Isaiah; as a statesman he was not so influential abroad as Nehemiah: but ino patriotism, in" devotion to God and to Israel, in purity of intention, in wisdom of methods, in rectitude of conduct, in zeal with which he urged religious and moral reforms, in the success with which he conducted a great revolution, he was unsurpassed. He found the twelye tribes disorganized and disunited, ‘he country overrun with enemies, and the people well-nigh in despair. he lived to see a widespreasl revival of religion, to acolnt as king 4 man after God's own heart, who was destined to scatter the enemies of his people and to unite the tribes of Israel under a strong govern ment in the fear and service of God.” Samuel was Jehovah's instrument for establishing the kingdom of Israel, and guiding the chosen people through a crisis in its history second in importance cnly to the Exodus. “Samuel was called by the providence of God to be the founder of prophecy as an established institution; and henceforward, side by side with the king and priest, the pro phet took his place as one of the three factors in the preparation for the coming of Him who is a king to rule, a priest to make atonement, and a prophet to teach the people and guide them into all truth.” Samuel's life as a boy foreshadowed NOTES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

Boys are the stuff out of which men are made. A man cannot be a great man unless he is first, at least, inherently, a great boy. Samuel had the advantage of many boys, from the very start, in that he bad a great and deeply religious mother. It is said that no great man ever had a fool for a mother. Most men inherit their great qualities from their mother. Remember what! a great mother Moses had. A distinguished man sald recently: “lI stand today the living witness of a ‘mother’s faithfulness and of a prayer hearing God.” Lord Shaftesbury once said: “Glve me generation of Chris tian mothers, aad I will undertake to change the whole face of society in twelve months.” Samuel as a child was a gift of God to his mother in answer to her ardent prayers. She called her boy, “Samuel,” which means the “gift of amen, too, Samuel as a boy and a young man had an ideal education. As soon as he was old enough, his mother ‘took him to Shiloh, seventeen miles north of Jerusalem, where the taber nacle wae and where the kind old high priest, Eli, llved and ministered unto God, and put him there to be brought up and trained by the high priest and to belong to the Lord. The boy was vowed Unto the temple service. By the hand She led him, and her silent soul the while, Oft as the dewy laughter of his eye Met her sweet, serious glance, rejoiced to think That aught so pure, so beautiful, was hers To bring before her God. But putting a boy at a good school does not make him educated or good ‘either. It all depends upon the disposi tion and choice of the boy. But Samuel was a good boy and his disposition har ‘monized with the very tone and atmos phere of the holy place. He treated EI, the aged priest, well. He tried to make himself useful. He was dutiful and at tentlve toward the counsels of Ell. He acted in such a way as to get the good will of men, and grew also in favor with God. Samuel must have been a sweet and lovely boy. The great characteristic of Jamuel as a boy and as a man, was his falthiuluess to his relationships and his responsibili ties in life. Nothing contributes more to promotion and what we call success: in life than this quality in one’s charac ter. Samuel as a child “ministered unto the Lord, being girt with a linen ephod.” What a beautiful portrait of a godly child this is? Becomes Acjuainted With God. This occurrence is a great event in a boy's or in a man's life. It is really the greatest conscious act of life.

It coastitutes a birth into an eternal relationship that cannot be dissolved. It is what we call ‘conversion-the choice of God as Father and Kine, DI a a—— God reveals himself to men. When Samuel was about twelve years old, it is said that he “did not yet know the Lord.” But in the silence of the night God spoke to Samuel and made himself personally known to him, calling him by name, showing that he knew Samuel as he knows all boys. From that moment Samuel knew what it is to commune directly with God. “Undoubtedly Samuel already knew God in a sense that Eli's wicked sons did not, for he kne= Lim as the great and koly being to whom he had been dedi cated, and whom he tried to serve, but he did not know how God spoke to men, nor imagine that the great God wouia speak directly to a little boy. If was the beginning of experimentai religion In the soul of Samuel.” The story of Samuel's call is not hard to understand. The poet Tennyson used to say that at ten years of age voices seemed to call him sometimes out of the dark, tei him to prepare for his lifework. A sensitive souls have had the experience in one form or another of being called of God. “A child of godly parentage is called naturally and easily, and constantly also.” Every child should make Samuel's words his own: “Speak, Lord. for Thy servant heareth.” Ta thus answer Sad'a voice within or without us is to realize God's presence, love, care, and his di recting and saving influence in our lives, To thus respond to God's voice and love is to be born from above and to have a conscious knowledge of the ine visible but personal God. The Boy Prophet. The boy Samuel is the only child prophet spoken of in the Bible. God re vealed His will and word to the innocent and upright boy and gave him a mes< sage to deliver to the house of Eli. It was a severe message for youthful lips to utter. Eli's sons had made them selves vile, and the miid and squeamish father had taken no steps to restrain apd punish them, and now doomr was about to strike like lightning upon their heads. God was about to uproot them from their offices as priests. Their ter rible fate was made known to the ten der child, and Elf made Samuel tell him what God had sald to him, and Samuel sadly and reluctantly but bravely and heroically told him all that God had said. Thus the child Samuel became the voice of a new era. Boys and children can be true prophets of God. uel Cahill, 8 J assistants—Divine gerv ices will be held during the weak as follows: Tomorrow morning masses at 6, 7. 9, and 10 o'clock.

Every man at the Fat Men's Club team except Ludwig fell down badly in his third game bowled last night in the District League series on the Fat Men's ulleys against the South Washington Business Men's Club. As it turned out the home, club won the set of three games, but the last total would not have ‘been a credit to a minor league team. there The first was the high total of the evening, and the next at 91 was a strong one, and there it ended. +o Ludwig was in good form despite the fact that he has only recently come back into the game. He had high aver age with 188, and his steadiness gave fit to him. Harlow had second high aver age with 184, and bowled a 206 game. Brown led with a 211 single, and 172 was his’ average.

PULLIAR NOW GRIEF OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Elected President, Secretary and Treasurer. J. T. BRUSH THROWN DOWN Cincinnati Magnates Put End to Base ball War—Rival Club Owners Hold a Love Feast. ~NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Harry Pulliam is now president, secretary and treasurer of the National League. He was elected at yesterday's meeting to the important position, and will hereafter make his headquarters in this city at the St. James Building, Twenty-sixth Street and Broadway. Mr. Pulliam tried hard to escape the honors thrust on him, but he was made a victim of popularity. The new presi dent will have the appointment of an as sistant secretary, if he so desires, and doubtless Charles Murphy, of Cincinnati, or Dan Mills, of this city, well-known newspaper men, will get the position. The executive committee, of which John T. Brush was chairman, and which conducted the affairs of the league so successfully all last season, will go out of business. In its place a board of di rectors was chosen yesterday composed of representatives of the New York, Bos ton, Pittsburg and Chicago clubs. Board Indicates Harmony. The formation of this board, that in cludes as it does four magnates who have been on the outs in the past, goes to show that harmony prevails. Brush, of New York, and Soden, of Boston, have always worked together, They have been the conservative end of the league. Messrs. Dreyfuss and Hart, together with President Pulliam, will in future dictate the league's policy. MEDICAL. This on the face of it looks like a throw down for Mr. Brush. The latter did not get all he was looking for. The new Cincinnati element legislated in favor of the more progressive party, as they claim. The latter is for peace with the American League. The Brush-Soden interests were in favor of continuing the war to the bitter end, and it remains a question if that were not the better policy. Rivals Bury Hatchet. Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri can League, together with Messrs. Kil foyle and Somers, received a committee of the National League at the Criterion Hotel, Forty-first Street and Broadway, yesterday morning. The National League committee was composed of Garry Herr mann, Frank de Hass Robinson, and James A. Hart, The meeting resulted in a love feast, President Johnson agreed to appoint a committee to confer with the National Leaguers not later than January 5 next. Up to that time the flag of truce will wave over the ramparts. “Jack” Doyle will play first base for the Brooklyns next season. Manage: Hanlon and Doyle will ‘get together’ today. The National League meeting adjourn cal TR ef last night. Another meeting will be ¢alled when the American League says it is ready. WORK OF ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE IN MONTGOMERY ROCKVILLE, Md., Dee, 13.—The Mont gomery County Anti-Saloon League has recently passed through one of the most earnest and energetic campaigns against selling intoxicating liquors and gambling in this county which it has ever waged against the violators of the prohibition liquor and anti-gambling laws of the county and State. The campaign was started about the first of June. Fines aggregating $3,700 were assessed against violators of the law at the last session of the county court. The officers of the League are Warren Choate, president; John H. Gassaway, vice-president; M. B. Montgomery, treas urer, and Frank Higgins, secretary. The executive committee is composed of the oficers named, and one committeeman from each of the thirteen election dis tricts of the county. The active work of the League is intrusted to the law en forcement committee, the members of which are Frank Higgins, chairman; Warren Choate, Dr, William k. Andrews, and Albert E. Shoemaker. The league employs Frank Higgins as its attorney.

v FOUR FAVORITES WIN ON'NEW ORLEANS TRACK Two Outsiders First at Good Odds. TE NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 13.—Contests of speed were out of the question. The track was sloppy, and the races narrowed down to a survival of the fittest rather than class or speed. Considering the track conditions it is surprising how close to form the races were run. Four favorites crossed under the wire in the lead. The winning favorites were Tom MayUin, 6 to 5; If You Dare, 4 to 5; 1 Scorpio, 12 to 20, and Jessie Jarboe, 8 to 5.

An important meeting of the Jockey Club was held in New York on Thursday and the chief business concerned the amendments to the racing rules, notice ‘of which was given last month. The members present were: August Belmont, J. H. Bradford, F. K. Sturgis, Jesse Brown, S. 8. Howland, F. 'R. Hitchcock, J. G. Follansbee, H. K. Knapp, J. G. Heckscher, P. J. Dwyer, A. H. Morris, W. C. Eustis, James R. Keene, Andrew Miller, Perry Belmont, and W. C. Whitney. The proposed amendments, with some slight modifications, were adopted. The changes were made with the view to avoiding confusion or mistake in inter preting the laws of the turf. In the sec ‘tion relating te liability for forfeits the amendment originally offered was changed to read as follows: “Whenever husband or wife is In the forfeit list all disabilities shall apply to both.” To the ules providing for ‘he methods lof starting races, the following para graph was added: “Whenever the horses are started by a flag there shall be no start until, and no recall after, the as ‘sistant starter has dropped hig flag in answer to the flag of the starter.” The rule prohibiting the use of drugs or stimulants on horses engaged in races was altered to read as follows: “Any person who shall have sdminis tered a drug or stimulant internally or by hypodermic method prior to a race, or who shall have used appliances elec trical or mechanical other than the or dinary whip qr spur.” All other amendments were adopted as published in the ‘“Racing Calendar’ with the exception of the provision that the secretary of each racing association should retain 1 per cent of the full value of each race. This last change was laid over for discussion at the next meeting. CORCORANS WIN FROM THE MORTON CADETS Game Full of Unnecessary Rough Play ing, in Which Both Teams Were at Fault. The Corcorans defeated the Morton Ca dets in the Guards’ Center Market gym nasium last night by the score of 9 to 7. The game was one of the roughest that bas been played by any teams of the District Basketball League this year, and on several occasions trouble between the opposing players was narrowly averted. The game was no credit to the sport. Both teams frequently disputed the de cisions of the officials. The Mortons have protested the game because one of the Corcoran players ran in front of Richards while he was in the act of trying for a free goal. i The little gallery at the gymnasium could not held the large crowd present, and ropes were stretched across the floor under the balcony. The two teams are factors for first place in the league, and their work was so off color that the large crowd which came, expecting to sce a good, clean game of basketball went home disappointed, Fred Hoover and “Kid” Sullivan, two clever local wrestlers, took tha mat for a ten-minute bout, between the halves. Both proved their cleverness by squirm ing out of several tight holds, and at the expiration of time both men were on the mat, The line-up: Corecorans. Position, Mortons. RASH. ce nvvarnsrs RR.

YOUNG CORBETT-M’GOVERN FIGHT GOES TO DETROIT Match Will Be Pulled Off Next Month and Will Be Limited to Ten Rounds. a ie Detroit will be the battleground for the glove contest between “Young Cor bett,” featherweight champion, and “Terry” MeGovern. The selection of the place was made at a meeting held on Thursday night, and the bout, which ie limited to ten rounds, will be pulled off before the Metropolitan Athletic Club in the city named. According to the articles of agreement signed by the managers of Corbett and McGovern respectively the boys are to ‘box at 127 pounds, weigh in at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the contest, and will battle for 62% per cent of the gross receipts, of which the winner will re ceive 75 per cent, and the loser 25. Johnny White of New York, who was the official referee of the old Broadway Athletic Club, was selected as the ref eree of the bout, while C. E. Lambert. con of Cincinnat! was chosen as the stakeholder. Each principal will have to post a for feit of $5,000 with the stakeholder as a guarantee that he will fight on the date selected by the club. Half of this amount is to serve as a forfeit for weight, while the remaining hal? is to bind the men to fight according to the conditions in the articles of agreement. This is the largest amount of money ever posted as a forfeit by two feather weights, and was suggested by Corbett, who claimed that in case anything hap pened he was sure he would get his ex penses out of the fluke. It took two solid hours of argument between Corbett and McGovern's man agers before all details for the match were arranged. Both Corbett and Terry's manager were anxious to let the Southern Athletic Club of Louisville have the fight, but as Tim Hurst, who represented that eciub, was willing to post a certified check for only $2,500, he lost the match. Billy Considine, who represented the Metropolitan Athletic Club, came forward with a certified check for $5,000, and also offered the fighters 6214 per cent of the gross re ceipts, which was 14 per cent mope than Hurst was willing to give. If Hurst had posted the check for $5,000 he would have got the contest. George Considine offered to bet Mc Govern’s manager $250 that Corbett will beat Terry inside of ten rounds. The bet was accepted without delay. Corbett will probably train at Mt. Clemens, Mich. McGovern has not yet selected his training quarters, but he may go to West Baden, Ind.

Melvilie, engineer-in-chief of the United States Navy, addressed the Engineering Society of Columbia Uni versity yesterday afternoon on “Arctic Experiences.” For almost three hours he recited the thrilling experiences of the De Long party and the Jeannette in 1879. The audience was composed in part of women. In describing what happened after the wreck of the Jean nette, Admiral Melville said: “Twice my boat had been swamped when we saw a signal for a recall. 1 knew that if I turned mr boat in the teeth of that gale it would surely be swamped again. This, I confess, ladies and gentlemen, made me swear. I turned around and yelled: ‘G—a darm it, I've got to run for it or I'll swamp.’ The expletive was spoken as if it were meant, and it occasioned a titter among the students and a look of horror on the faces of the women and some of the professors in the room. The word “damn” was used three times in the lecture, each time to emphasize the hardships and strange experiences in the Arctic regions. The speaker was repeatedly cheered hy the students at the conclusion of the ad dress. SUNDAY SERVICES IN THE WASHINGTON CHURCHES [Continued from Fourth Page.)

The Washington Times FRANK A. MUNSEY PUBLICATION OFFICE, Tenth and D Streets 1 IT HAS SOME NECESSARY LIMITATIONS AS A SHIELD AGAINST THE COLLECTION OF EUROPEAN DEBTS. Though it cannot but view with concern the efforts of Germany and Great Britain to collect by force the claims they have against the Venezuelan gov ernment, this country will wisely hold to precedent and logic in finding in the coercive measures adopted by the t wo European powers no challenge either to the letter or the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine. That doctrine commits the United States to a benevolent guardianship of South American interests. It pledges us to maintain against European assaults the integrity and sovereignty of the Latin-American republics. It voices the unwillingness of this country to see any further portion of the two American continents pass under European title or control. Yet it cannot be appealed to by our delinquent southern neighbors as a shield behind which debts can be contracted and repudiated. So long as Venezuelan territory is mot appropriated and Venezuelan sovereignty is not abridged, the United States must remain a mere spectator of the proceeding which the two European governments are taking to collect their overdue accounts. We cannot, under the Monroe Doctrine, protect the republics of South America from anxious and clamorous European creditors, or undertake to say what claims from that quarter should and what should not be paid. Such an interpretation of the doctrine, in its last reduction, would in volve the installation in each South American treasury of an auditor from Washington, charged with the supervision of its finances and the liquidation of its honest debts. As farnishing an admirable object lesson of the manful performance of duty in the erisis ereated by the coal famine, the recent achievement of the Rev. Dr. Richards and twenty stout members of his congregation at West Torrington, Conn., deserves the aeelaim of an appreciative world. The Congregational Chureh of which Dr. Richards is pastor was with out nel, cold and desolate, and promising to remain thus throughout a weary winter. A parishioner who owned a tract of wooded ground just outside of town told Dr. Richards that the church was welcome to one hun dred of the trees if the pastor could secure anyone to eut them down and haul them away. It was a generous offer, but it brought the good divine face to face with a serious proposition—that of felling the trees and trans forming them into eordwood.

The Rev. Dr. Richards, however, is of the sturdy and masterful type of clergyman Connecticut was wont to breed in eolonial times. He shoul derad an ax and started out reeruiting, drumming up twenty big, museu Jar Christians of his flock. They moved to the scene of needed action, and soon the forest rang with the ery of axes sinking into the living wood. In one day's time the hundred trees were leveled to earth, and another day saw them properly eut up and stored in the chureh basement, furnishing an ample supply of fuel for the winter. And the Rev. Dr. Richards, we are told, outehopped any one of his assistants, swinging a mighty ax with the skil: of his frontier ancestors. Every community in this country may profit by the example thus set. It isis mecessary, of course; to go out and chop down trees, but the coal farhine Nas created a situation calling for general helpfulness. If you are comfortably fixed for the winter, for instance, look around and see if yon don’t find some one in sore need of rescue from the eold—a destitute fam ily, a widow, little children. This is likely to be a winter of the most piti ful suffering known in our history if the spirit of helpfulness doesn’t pre vail mightily. A few dollars which you can easily spare may mean the saving of more than one life. Let's get ready for relief work. The necessi tv cannot be denied. Queer things come to light in South Dakota, and oddities will un doubtedly continue to accumulate there until the State has some sort of a ‘spasm of conscience leading to the revision of its divorce laws. Mrs. Blanche Molineux is now reported to have as neighbors two persons wio, eonjointly, ereate one of the most curious relationship puzzles in history. One of her neighbors is a woman with two sets of children, one by each of her two divorced husbands; the other is a man with two sets of children, each by a wife now divorced. Each is waiting for a divoree, and when it is granted, the two will marry. The question is, what relation those four sets of children will be to one another after the marriage takes place. It looks as if South Dakota might be about to undergo punishment for at least a part of the woes she has inflicted on the rest of the country. What with the South Dakota divoree joke, the easy possibility of getting rid of uneongenial partners if one has the price of a residence in that wind-swept region, and other evils for which the peculiar marriage laws of that State are responsible, the American public has long felt that some thing onght to be done to the State if it could be done without interfering with State rights or the Constitation. But evil courses finally bring their own punishment. If the natives of South Dakota are now moved to untangle the riddle of mixed relationships which has resulted from one couple’s experiments with its marriage laws, they may, in bewilderment and sorrow, be led to see the error of their ways and reform. y x Mr. Carnegie says there are good and bad trusts, and that the bad trusts should be treated like bad children. The people stand ready to ap pland President Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox the moment the chastisemment begins. We have all heard of how the “monkey kissed the baboon's sister; kissed $0 hard he raised a blister.” But startling proof of the truth that the British soldier of today is physically decadent is found in the fact that one of the King's infantrymen has just shown that he is not even equal to the bnboon's Sister in osculatory endurance. He fainted, while the baboon’s sister, though blistered, was still in the ‘ring.

The ominous occurrence happened at some sort of martial celebration at which the young women present, patriotic daughters of Britannia as they were, insisted upon kissing certain South African veterans to a standstill. The youngest and handsomest of these, a strapping fellow, was stormed b> 300 maidens, all on kissing bent, and, if the old-time fiber of the Engliy oak had been in his heart, this would have turned out to be the happiest day of his life. Jt was just such an opportunity as the stout Britons of a generation ago would have hailed with the most joyous acclaim. Put the English soldier of today is corréctly described as a “reedy’” and marrowless creation. Thig warrior of the veldts and kopjes was not equal to big chance in iife, Long before the English girls got through with him, he almost literally ran up the white flag. turning suddenly pale, gasping, then keeling over In as preity a swoon as ever a pickle-eating schoolgirl ould hope to accomplish, The pity of it!

How different from the esse of our own heroic Hobson, who kissed all comers In a sori of six-auys go-as-you-please free-for-all and came forth so sccthless and fresh that he at once went to work rescuing luckless damsels who made a point of falling over board whenever there was water an?

A Time for ‘Helpfulness. Taneles in South Dakota. The Swooning of Mars. I HAVE been asked to express an opinion concerning the creation of an art commission for the city of Wash ington. No positive answer can be made to such a question. Europe, with all her innate love for art, has not been able to prevent the erection of poor, meaningless statues to unimportant persons. The American temperament is such that the moment one f17orms another that he or she knows nothing about art, then trouble begins. For the one thing that everybody knows most about is ari. Drawing a few still life studies or tatting a design, in a girl's school, or reading Russell Sturges on art, is not all there is in one of the greatest intellectual pur suits of man. The maudlin sentiment of humanity comes to the surface the very moment the word art is used, and the “Get-busy-want-to-do-something-pretty” committee sets up another horrible specimen of the bronze caster’s business abil ity. These half-baked exhibitions emanate usually from im mature minds which have had little or no sound training in the practical hard work of the studio of a master, or in the famous schools in Europe, Some of the well-trained men have slipped down the easy grade of commercialism and are the willing prey of a monu ment committee. To know what good sculpture is requires more than ordi nary training. It is the most difficult of all the arts. It is a profound study to develop from the first inspiration to the finished heroic work, requiring great strength of character and a vast perseverance. Without a great, self-sacrificing soul one cannot make a great statue, What we lack most today in the sculpture life of the country is backbone in our work. A good deal of the present trouble lies at the door of the artist himself. When he drifts into commercialism and art-politics, he not only loses his hold on his genius, but he commits the double sin of debauch ing himself and the public. In collecting the data for a catalogue of American sculp tors, the writer has remarked two striking facts. First, only two of the most successful scuiptors of America ever had a college training. One was intended for the law and was grad uated from a distinguished law school. His work is very precise, and often wooden, as thougn by mental custom he bad deferred the visit of the Muse until such time as he had arranged his ideas in an orderly manner on the shelves of his brain and had searched in the mental woodshed for a few fragments of other men’s learning. Then he built the fire of 4 A story is current in the British army illustrating the difference between Kitchener and Lord Roberts. Before the latter left Cape Town he called a cer tain officer into his office and assignal to him a particular duty, asking hima how soon it could be dome. The officer said he would try to have it done in a fortnight. Lord Roberts smiled pleas antly and observed: “I know you will do the best you can.” Outside the door ‘he met Kitchener, who asked what he was doing. The officer replied that Lord Roberts had requested him to de such and such a thing, and that he had prom {sed to try to do ft in a fortnight. “Now, co'onel,” said Kitchener, “if you cannot do it in a week we shall have to see about sending you home.” It was done in a week. One of the mysteries of Anglo-Indian bistory is the disappearance of Nana Sahib, the instigator of the fearful mas sacre at Cawnpore in the time of the Good Cooking and a Happy Home. Benjamin Kidd, the economist, has made a tour of the new British South Africa, and says that he believes the country to be richer than the western half of the United States.

EDWIN ELWELL, Curator of Sculpture, Metropolitan Museum of Art. in the Public Eve, ODD AND PICTURESQUE INCIDENTS OF A DAY. HERE seems to be good reason for the panic which has seized upon the souls of Chicago's young unmarried women and set them to a feverish study of the an eclent and honorable art of cookery. In a recent address the announcement was made by Ernest P. Bicknell, superin tendent of the Chicago Bureau of Associated Charities, that the desertion of 400 Chicago wives by their husbands last year was directly due to the fact that the wives were poor cooks. The peril of such a condition of affairs is obvious. It adds Chicago emphasis to the wise old “tip” by which women used to profit—that the way to reach a man's heart fs through his stomach. The lesson is one which may be learned to advantage by spinsters in general if they hope to possess that happy home possible only in conjunction with a well-fed husband whose digestion has not been wrecked by amateur cookery. Well--Betrer Late Than Never, N the matter of the venerable Mrs. Chadwick, widow of master's mate Chadwick, who commanded the “Hoary James,” of Farragut’'s fleet, when that vessel captured the English blockade runner, “Deer,” during the civil war, it is difficult to know whether to praise Uncle Sam for his final and full payment of a just obligation or to deplore his tardiness in making a settlement. For forty years, nearly, this widow of .a gallant American salior has been kept waiting for the prize money to which she was entitled by reason of her husbagl's achievement in capturing the blockade runner; and the thought of such a wait is not pleasant to Americans proud of their country. But, anyway, it is now in order to rejoice, since old Mrs. Chadwick's bill has at last been paid in full with interest to date. \4

The Troubles of an Author. Pierre Lot! (Julian Viaud) is said to have had much trouble with Uuils su periors in the navy, who do not like his literary success. He was alde-de-camp to Vice-Admiral Pottler, commanderin chief of the French squadron in the Far East during the occupation of Pekin Ly forelgn troops, and his book, “The Last Days of Pekin,” just published, deals with his experiences at this time, genius. From his work it is apparent that the fire only smoldered and finally went out altogether. Th's should not argue against a college training for the lawyer, the merchant and the engineer. But it may be rea sonably doubted if the artist has much to gain from those years spent in plodding over the opinions of a variety of men not in the least interested in the genius of art. The sculptor should have a long and splendid training— but always in the art life. Art is long and time is short, and one must be at it early, like the great French mas ters, who, in most cases, were in Paris soon after their common-school education and hard at work at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. That gentle something we call genius was well taken care of by the wise masters who knew its value. Our greatest sculptor never saw the inside of a university until he received an honorary degree. He knows little out side his profession. Yet he stands today the foremost man in it in the world. Secondly, it has been observed that all the great men in this country have been men of strong, stalwart character, influenced only by their inspirations. Character has been forged, in some cases, frorh the rough material of poverty, lifted into the light of the divine Muse by hard work and a hard lot. Out of failures, disappointments and occasional successes they have carved an undying name. They cannot be bought or fooled; so their imitators are often used by the commercial end of a committee, because cheaper and more eas'v handled. Washington has been the stamping ground for the charlatan and the commercial sculptor. It is no altogether her fault, but a good deal should be laid directly at the door of the artist himself who has used an ucsuspect ing public for his own ends. An art commission at Washington would be absolutely worthless, if made up of art-politicians, artists, or art. promoters. There seems bul one rational way out of the matter and that is to have a commission made up of five men—say five directors from the best art museums of the country. These men are unbiased; their lives are spent in exhibiting to thi public the best in every school of art known to man. The; could ask expert artists to assist them, whenever needed: but their deciding voice would give confidence to the publi and forever put aside the schemes of the art promoter, whe finds a convenient living at the expense of the credulity o the public, and is always hampering really excellent work.

The other day one of these gentry noticed that a barrel of whisky was in the bottom tier of certain freight stored in the railway sta tion at Lamokin, Pa., and that it was possible for a man to crawl under the station.

Grosvenor Wanis Another Term. Half a dozen more or less able local statesmen in the Eleventh Ohio district who are ambitious to broaden out into national statesmanship have recently ex perienced a bitter disappointment and a blighting of thelr hopes in the announce ment that the Hon, Charles Henry Gros venor desires just one more term as a ‘member of Congress. Year after year the political rivals of the venerable Buckeye statistician and election day prognosticator have sought to place him on the retired list, but just so often the “Foxy Grandpa” of the Ohic situation gives them the slip and continues to hold on with remarkable tenacity. Las: summer, when General Grosvenor was doing his biennial hustling to round up the necessary delegates to obtain the nemination, the waiting ones were ai lowed to believe that he would not enter the race again. But the votes had ve sooner been counted on election night than the wily Grosvenor in returning thanks extended the time limit of his public service for a period of two years longer, so that his positively last ap pearance will not occur until two years hence. General Grosvenor’s purpose is to round out just twenty years in Con gress. He is now serving his eighth term 2nd has been re-elected for the ninth, and one more term will enable him to complete a full score of years in the National House of Representatives. But the complaint is that there is no positive assurance that General Gros venor will not desire, at the close of Lis tenth term, to throw in two years additional to make good measure, Was Once Defeated. Ten times already has the conven tion in .u+~ Eleven*h indorsed him, but ‘upon one occasion, when so many of the bright ard shining lights of the Repub lican .-rty were temporarily extin ‘guished, General Grosvenor failed to be returned. That was in the Fifty-second Congress, but he has long since recov ered from this defeat and re-established ‘his position. When the Legislature of Ohio performed its last vivisectlon of the State, under the apportionment of 1900, General Grosvenor was presented with Fairfield county, carrying with it a Democratic majority of 2,000. This was done in order that the Columbus district might be made at least doubtful Instead of resenting the action of the Legislature in adding a Democratic county to his district, General Grosven or was pleased beyond expression. Gros venor could control the delegates from Fairfield county and thus make his nom {pation easy, while the remainder of the ‘district would overcome the adverse ma jority in Fa'rfield county on electign day. It all came out as Grosvenor had anticipated. There is a mistaken im preseion as to just what General Gros veneor really fears in the Eleventh dis trict. It is not, as is generally supposed, the “nine thousand angry miners,” but the lesser number of rivals who aspire to the seat he holds in the House. Exit Vest: Enter Stone. When the curtain falls upon the long and brilliant public career of the Hon. George Graham Vest as a member of the United States Senate, it will signal the appearance upon the same stage of the Hon, William Joel Stone, affectionately referred to upon the banks of the Big Muddy as ‘“‘Gumshoe Bill.” For four years, perhaps longer, he has been noise lessly moving dbout in the State made most famous forts mud, its mules, and its Democrats, carefully laying his plans to succeed the vemerabl: Vast.

To the Editor of The T* aes: Sir: The “Stor” of the 10th instant, under the caption of ‘““‘Our Position as to Venezuela,” had a lot of rubbish about the “Monroe Doctrine.” Says the “Sa “German and British demands, not llv ing been met, the forces of those powers are proceeding to close in on President Castro,” ete. The fact is that those pow ers held aioof until they had the consent of President Roosevelt to “‘elose in,” piainly stated in his exposition of the Monroe Doctrine laid down in his two messages. That is all any foreign power could wish, Heretofore that much-famed doctrine is “theory.” The motive which aciuates those two aggressive nations is deeper and more far-reaching than the mere collection of an inflated claim for dam ages. The territory of Venezuela lies close up to the Isthmus and in easy reach of the “canal” which we intend to build. Those two nations are not our friends. Their protestations of love are Naturally enough, ail sorts of ex citement might be expected when a cat gets tangled up in a woman's hair, and the following from the “New York Times’ reveals some of the possiblli ties of such a situation: Last evening Mrs. Alexander Downey, of the village of Galesburg, Mich., was preparing to attend an entertainment, and was nearly ready, only swaiting the return of her husband, who was fo accompany her, when she opened a closet door, and the family cat, that had been shut therein, sprang from a shelf and happened to alight upon her head. The animal's claws became entangled in Mrs. Downey's hair, and upon his return, Mr. Dow ney found his wife unconscious on the floor, while the cat was struggling with the fury of a tigress to release itself, and it was found necessary to administer chloroform to render the animal powerless and release her victim, Mrs. Downey was not seriously injured. A LEGACY RECEIVED AND LOST. Not often does good and bad luck come together in so vivid a contrast as in the following story from the “Philadelphia Inquirer,” detailing the manner in which a young Pittsburg man received and lost an iaheritance: Yesterday was the twenty-first anniversary of the birth of J. W, Dougherty. in company with his brothers and sisters, he left his home CAT IN HER HAIR. by the gentleman of the soft and elastie footwear. Now but a single canclidate remains in the field against him, the Hon, W. H. Wallace, a lawyer of Kan sas City, whose reputation has got no farther east than Jefferson City. About him the scattering Missouri legislators who have remained obdurate against the ‘persuasiveness of “Gumshee Bil” will rally, but the attempt to disconcert the well laid plans of the former gowernor will prove futile.

Whether the senior Senator will sube scribe to this arrangement is a matter with which the Stone-Dockery comblaa tion will be obliged to reckon. With the expiration of his present term Senator Cockrell will have completed thirty years’ service in the United States Senate, six years ionger than his col league, and there are those so solicitous of his health that they would not ime pose a seventh term upon him. As for Senator Cockrell, he hasn't said a word upon the subject, Lui be may decide to upset the plans of the combination. The Tar Heelers. North Carelina’s return to the Demo cratic column by a large majority at the recent election has beeu followed by a correspondingly large number of candi dates for the seat in the Senate now held by the Hon.

When the wave of Populism swept over the State it car ried the Democrats out on the ebbing tide, and for ten years they have heen struggling to re-establish themselves and regain power. A combination of the Pops and the then bi-colored Republi can party in the Tar Heel State was pro ductive of Butler and Pritchard. Butler, with his band of Pops holding the trump cards, took the long term and Pritchard ‘the short term, at the expiration of ‘which the combination was still in work ing order and returneu rritchard for six vears more. Mesalliance Dissolved. By the time Butler's term expired, however, the mesalliance of Populism and Republicanism kad been discontin ued, because there was no longer any thing to hold it together. Butler re turned to Raleigh to find his old ene mies, the Democrats, in power, and he betook himself to New York, where he is rapidly accumulating a fortune. Now Pritchard is to go out, gracefully re treating with his little compacy of “Lily Whites” A dozen aspirants claim his seat. In the campaign Senator Pritchard recognized the Hon, Locka Craig as his most formidable competitor and challenged him to a series of joint debates throughout the State. It devel coped, however, that the Democrats were unwilling to allow the Senator to make a selection of his successor, and the fight among the victors is now on in full force. It is said to be not at all un likely that the Legislature may decide to disregard the claims of the several aspirants and make an outside selection, In that case there is a strong probabil ity that the Hon. William Edward Pou, who has made an enviable record for himself during his first term in Con gress, may be the lucky man. all gush. We can remember a few un pleasant experiences which amply prove that fact. South America offers toGer many the richest territorial acquisition, and by getting in there by permission of our President she can readily find ex cuse for staying permanently. Britain has had a grudge against Venezuela ever since the famous Monroe Doctrine of President Cleveland prevented her rob bing that distracted republic of her sov ereignty. Under the present Administration Mr, Mcnroe finds it convenient to go up Salt River, when two strong nations mean only rapacity and spoliation. If it had been the case of a ‘weak nation seeking to coliect her claim in this manner, “we doubt not Mr, Monroe would have dlus tered and threatened “to let siip the dogs of war,” and demanded to know be forehand just what they were going to do and how long they proposed ‘to stay in.” I am, yours truly, A.

Russia Has a Minister of the Navy and a Department of Merchant Marine—Strong Opposition to the Introduction of Modern Naval Tactics—French Relations With the Vatican to Continue Unchanged-—Wealthy Vicountess Becomes a Lion Tamer. 5

Emperor Nicholas, not content with having a minister or the navy, similar to the Secretary of the Navy in the United States, has now created a separate and distinct department of merchant marine, and has placed his brother-in-law, the Grand Duke Alexander Michaelowitch, at the head thereof as minister, the decree of his appointment giving eloguent ex pression to the important results which the Czar expects to attain through this new move on his part. 3

No better choice couid have been made than the grand duke in question. For he is one of the most enlightened members of the reigning house of Russia, and will be sremembered as having visited this country as an officer of the Russian squadron which attended the interna tional celebration in American waters of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Colum bus. He is a great admirer of the United States, of which he has given evidence by his translation into Russian of the works of Captain Mahan, publishing them at his own cost. He is married to the eldest glister of the Czar, the Grand Duchess Xenia, and is known 2s one of the most progressive and enlightened members of his house,

4 r Indeed, Alexander's advanced views have given great offense to the elde~ members of the corps of officers of the Russian navy. Some time ago, when he blossomed forth as the leader of a num ber of young nobles and naval men who adopted his views, and who gave public expression thereto, encouraged by the knowledge that they were regarded with approval by the Czar, the Grand Duke Alexis, who is captain admiral (that is, lord high admiral) of the Russian navy, went to the Emperor ard informed him that the attitude of Grand Duke Alexan der had become absolutely intolerable; that discipline was well-nigh at an end in the fleet, and that unless Alexander was visited with some token of imperial disapproval he and all the flag officers on the active list of the navy had re Siived to resign apd withdraw to private

Grand Duke Alexander has therefore his work cut out for him, and backed as he is by his brother-in-law and chum, the Czar, may be relied upon to make a record for himself in this new position which has been created for him. Ii deed the idea of creating a department of this kind is so excellent and so up to date that one may expect ere long to see England, France, Germany, and the United States following suit, and organizing similar government depart ments of merchant marine, Russia de i serves much credit for leading the way in the matter. There seems to be little prospect of any interruption of the diplomatic re lations between the Vatican and the French government in spite of all the utterances about the matter in the Parisian press.

Trude-Wilkins Wedding. The marriage of Miss Cecelia Trude, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Trude of Chicago, to Harold Eugene Wilkins, took place Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at Grace Episcopal Church, Philadelphia. The bride's gown was of white faille crepe covered with rose point lace; her flowers lilies of the valley. The maid of honor, Miss Algenic Trude, sister of the bride, wore an imported French gown of white silk mull, the skirt was covered with band-embroidered baskets of pink roses. The bridesmaids were Miss Julia Wil kins, sister of the groom; Miss Daisy Wilson, Miss Cora Auten, Miss Lucile Casey, Miss Bessie Smeenk, and Miss Jeannette Knights, who wore pink cos tumes. The maid of honor and the brides maids carried bouquets of pink roses, and their hair was dressed with wreaths of pink apple blossoms. The ushers were Dr. Mark Trude, Al bert Whitfield, Willoughby Walling, Ralph Hamill, Arthur Burr Pease and Clinton Hoy of this city. A reception at the Trude residence at Fiftieth Street and Drexel Boulevard followed the ceremony at the church. Miss Watts’ Debut. Mrs. David B. Watts held a reception at her home, Maple Hill, Harris burg, Pa., last night to introduce to society her daughter, Miss Janet Cameron Rodgers Watts. The debutante is the descendant of two of Pennsylvania's most famous men, being the greatgrand daughter of the late Simon Cameron, Lin coln’s Secretary of War, minister to Rus sia and United States Senator, and the late David Watts, of Carlisle, the first United States Commissioner of Agricul ture, who held his position under three Presidents, including Lincoln. The receiving party was as follows: Mrs. Watts, Miss Watts, Mrs. Frederic Culbertson, Lewistown; Mrs. George L. Husband, Philadelphia; Mrs. D. M. Gil bert, Mrs. Henry Boas, Mrs. R. J.

Cowles, regent of the Tea Party chapter, entertained her at a large luncheon at her home in Brookline on Monday, and An extraordicary sult 1s now engaging the attention of the French courts. The plaintiff {s the Vicomte Rene de Leve zon de Vesins, whose father was a pre fect and a senator during the reign of Napoleon Ill, while the defendant is his divorced wife, daughter and heiress of the millionaire cigarette paper manu facturer, Abadie. The couple, after sev ers! years of marriage, was divorced mainly In consequence of the extraordi nary taste for wild beats manifested by the viscountess, and according to the terms of the divorce she recovered the possession of Ler dowry, amounting te 4,000,000 franes, and retained the care of her daughter, her husband being aweard ed the guardianship of the boy. The lady, in spite of her great wealth, was led by her fondness for wild beasts to take lessons from the lion tamer Marck, and appeared at the Folies Ber geres, at the Cirque and elsewhere in the role of a lion tamer under the stage name of the “Comtesse de X. Domp teuse Masquee,” In the regulation cos tume, with her features concealed by a black velvet mask. With advancing years she abandoned this form of eccentricity, settled in the neighborhood of Hamburg, and estab lished there a “thier park,” or wild ani

mal park, where she trained wild beasts apd sold them to showmer. Indeed, there are several American showmen who have animals trained by the coun tess. She has now announced her inten tion of producing her daughter in the role of a lon tamer at the Nouveau Cirque at Paris. And It is to prevent this that the vicomte has now insti tuted legal proceedings.

His sketches, sent to “Fi garo,” are now published in book form, and have been translated by Myrta, L. Jones. Those who read Loti's “Book of Pity and of Death,” published several years ago, and were amazed to find it a chron jcie of the iives of pussy-cats, are aware that this French genius is extremely fond of cats. There is battle, murder and sudden death enough in this book on Pekin to satisfy the readers of the most sensational journal, but though the smell of decaying corpses and the mys tery and horror of unknown and un pleasant palaces are on almost eve'y page, Loti finde his cat and promptly adopts the animal, which thenceforth makes itself at home in these peculiarly congenia] surroundings. Cat, palaces and author are described with a power and vividness which make this book one of the unique and fascinating specimens of war literature. There is grucsomeness and grue someness in this book; it reads like a Chinese chamber of horrors transla.ed into French and presented, with all the Gallic vividness of detail, to shrinking Anglo-Saxon nerves. The people of our blood, in spite of their reputation for brutality, do not revel in horror when it comes to imagination. Loti does. To be sure, there was not nich other terial for reveling in the last days of Pekin. One of the less Lorrible pages doseribes a meal which he and a com panion took in a palace of the Yellow City, near the Lake of the Lotus—the lotuses, incidentally, being dead and de caying, like most other things in that vicinity. Here is the description of the meal: “It is almost totally dark. At an ebony table my companion and I are seated, wrapped in our military cloaks, with collars turned up, our teeth chat tering with cold, and are served by our orderlies with trembling limbs. A feeble little Chinese candle of red wax, stuck in a bottle—a candle picked up in the debris from some ancestral altar—sheds a dim light, blown as it is by the wind. Our plates, in fact, all the dishes; are of porcelain of inestimable value, im perial yellow, marked with the cipher of a fastidious emperor, who was a con temporary of Louis XV. But our wine and our muddy water—boiled and re boiled for fear of poison in the wells— are in horrible old bottles, with bits of potato, cut into shape by the soldiers, fer corks. “The gallery where this scene takes place is very long; the distance is lost in obscurity where the splendors of an Asiatic tale are dimly perceived. nel sides are of glass up to the height of a man, and this frail wall is all that sepa rates us from the sinister darkness which surrounds us; one has a feeling that the wandering forms outside, the ‘phantoms attracted by our small light, may from a distance see us at table, and this is disturbing. Above the glass there is a series of light frames containing rice paper, which reach to the ceiling. from which marvelous ebony sculptures depend, delicate as Jace-work; this rice paper is torn, and allows the mortally cold night wind to strike us. Our frozen feet rest on imperial yellow carpets of the finest wool, with the five-horned An Anthology for Young Readers. AR ARLEVUEY 12 AVE MLENLLD “Golden Numbers” is the somewhat enigmatical title of a book oi verse in tended for young readers, and compiled by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Arch ibald Smith, with introduction and in terleaves by the ‘ormer. The making of an anthology is always an angrateful task, antl there is probably nothing, ex cept running a newspaper, which so many people think they could do better than the person who is at it. Considera ble fault could be found with this col jection by almost anybody, for the reason that whatever is included in such a book, somebody's favorite poem is al ways left out. All the same, as a gift book for any boy or giri beginning the study of literature, it is very good. There is no trash in it, and there are many poems which are not easy to find in the ordinary library. The poems are classified according to subjects. Among the authors represented in the nature poems are Jones Very, Aldrich, Kinsley, Stevenson, Lowell, William Blake, and Keats. All of Shakespeare's fairy songs are here, and several of Allingham’'s, as well as the “Sabrina” song from “Comus.” Several of the best of the old English ballads are here, “The Pied Piper of Hamelin,” “Herve Riel,” “High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire,” “Lord Ul Jack Landon Novel A Daughter ithe vows’ Jack Londen) Novel ADaughter spe «To create a new character is to be credited only to Kipling, Barrie, and a few of the very first rank.

dragons sprawling upon them. Close to us gigantic incense burners of cloisonne of the old inimitable blue, with gold elephants as pedestals, are softly burn ing; there are magnificent and fanciful screens; phoenixes of enamel spread their long wings; thrones, monsters, things without age and without price abound. And there we are, inelegant, dusty, worn, soiled, with the air of coarse barbarians, installed like in truders in fairyland.” There is another chapter in which the ‘effect of opium is described after this manner: “The fumes of the opium ‘teep us awake till very late, in a stat. of mind that fs both lucid and at the same time confused. We have never until now understood Chinese art; it is re vealed to us for the first time tonight. In the beginning we were ignorant, as is all the world, of its almost terrible grandeur, until we saw the Imperial City and the walled palace of the Son of Heaven: now at this nocturnal hour, amid the fragrant fumes that rise in clouds in our over-heated gallery, our impressions of the big somber temples, of the yellow enameled roofs crowning the Titian buildings that rise above ter races of marble, are exalted above ‘mere captivated admiration to respect and awe. “In the thousand details of its em ‘broidery and carvings which surround us in such profusion, we learn how skillful and how exact this art is in rendering the grace of flowers, exag gerating their superb and languishing poses, and their deep or deliciously ‘pale colorings; then in order to make elear the cruelty of every kind of living thing, down to dragons and butterflies, they place claws, horns, terrible smiles, and leering eyes upon them! They are right; these embroideries cn our cush jons are roses, lotus flowers, chrysan lin’s Daughter.” and many other poeins which possess the lyric quality in a high degree, Two things are noticeable In this collection which make it e ‘pecially fit for chitdren and young pHeople of grammar and high school age; one is, that it is full of musical poems, and the other, it is rich in poems wnich state great truths in a simple and beautiful way. anybody who has taught school knows that these two things appeal especially to boys and girls. They like the musical quality in verse, and they like sentiments which can throw some light on conduct. Witness the popular ity of autograph albums and their sen timents, and the number of quotations on “life's lessons’ in the aversge com position of the eariy ‘teens. Tie other sort of poem which appeals 10 the awakening sense of literature is of the type represented by “High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire,” than which no more exquisite verse-music was ever written. This stanza, for example, will affect the sensitive ear and fancy of such a pupil like musie: Upon the roofe we sate that night, The noise of bells went sweeping by; I marked the lofir bescon light Stream from the church tower, red and high— A lurid mark and dread to see, And awesome bells they were to me, That in the dark rang “Enderby.” The poetry of Kipling is so rich in work of this sort that it seems strange PIERRI LOTI.

As for the insects, the scarabs, the flies, and the moths, they are just like those horrid things paint ed in gold relief on our court fans. a «3 Rell BRE “When we arrive at that special form of physical prostration which sets the mind free (disengages the astral body, as they say at Benares) everything in the palace, as well as in the outside world, seems easy and amusing. We congratulate ourselves upon having come to live in the Yellow City at so unique a period in the history of China, at a moment when everything is free and we are left almost alone to gratify our whims and curiosity. Life seems to hold tomorrows filled with new and interest. ing circumstances. In our conversation we find words, formulas, images, to ex press the inexpressible, the things that have never been said. The hopelessness, the misery, that one carries about like the weight on a convict's leg, is incon. testably lessened, and as to the small annoyances of the moment, the little pin-pricks, they exist no longer. For example, when we see through the glass gallery the pale light of a moving lantern in a distant part of cur palace we say without the slightest feeling ef disturbance, ‘More thieves! They must see us. We'll hunt them down tomor. row.’ “And it seems of no consequence, even comfortable to us, that our cushions and our imperial silks are shut off from the cold and the horrors by nothing but panes of glass.” This is the best book, beyond ques tion, yet written on the siege of Pekin. The squalid and horrible tragedy has not before been treated with anything like the power of imagination and wealth of language found In this book. Those who know Loti’s style will expect this; and for those who do not, this is a good time to discover it. The book is most attractively bound and illustrated.

Dogs and Children. Wd TINNY. Nr “Dogtown,” Wright, is a book addressed, as the author ex presses it, “‘to all who love children and dogs.” The author, whose “Tommy Anne” and other books have made her name known as a writer of juvenile lit erature, is a devoted lover of dogs, and the four-footed characters in this book are simply delightful. There is a most interesting beagle family known as “Waddles,” “Mrs. Waddles,” and Jill; there is the big dog ““Lumber legs’ and the French poodle “Hamlet,” and there are many other dogs of vari

ous breeds and sizes, belonging to the residents of a suburban town which, from the size ok its canine population, receives the name of “Dogtown.” Tom my-Anne, now known as Anne, reappears in this story as a tall girl of sixteen, with a small brother, Tommy, who has taken the first half of her baby name away from her, and there are other interesting human characters, though they are rather cast in the shade by thé quadrupeds, i The readers of this book are likely to know more about the ways of dogs when they have finished it than they ever did before, unless they are familiar with the animals and unusually observant into the bargain. Mrs. Wright has evidently incorporated in it much material gained from actual observation of her own pets. This includes pictures, for the illustra tions are obviously from photographs of real dogs, and they hint at many good times in the home whence the stories come. There are no extraordinary dog anecdotes in this book, nothing that is at all uncommon among intelligent dogs, but the knowing ways of almost any pet animal which is considerately treated are interesting to pther owners ef pets. A bit of description midway in the book is rather amusing. It concerns Jack and Jill, the puppies.

“In the early morning, before the sun had crept around the apple tree, ihe twins usually sat on either side of the doorway to the burrow, with their moth er lying on the grass nearby. The two places were not equally good, as from one side the entire length of the path from the gate, as well as the garden and stable, could be seen at a glance, while from the other they could only see one way at a time without much neck twist ing. “Jill nearly always managed to se cure the best place and if Jack happen ed to get there in advance of her she resorted to varisus tactics to dislodge him. First she wecald amble down the walk with an e«ger expression on her face, and give a bark or two as if at an intruder. If this did not bring Jack out, she would sniff ac the ground and then begin to dig frantically, glving the most ludicrous growls the while. “Jack's curiosity usually overcame him at this point, for toad hunting was one of the twins’ favorite sports, and he never tired of digging out a patriarch with a spotted hide who lived under a stone by the pump, and making him hop-hop-hop until he refused to budge another step and. flattened him self obstinately in the dirt, when he was allowed to go home and rest for the next day's excursion, and, strange to say, the toad rather seemed to like the performance. “If both these lures failed, Jill would resort to force by sitting squarely on top of her brother. Soon he would move a little in order to breathe more freely or stretch his legs. As soon as he stir red, Jill settled more heavily until she was wedged between her brother and the stone side of the burrow, then one determined push settled the matter, and he would roll over, look at her rue fully, stretch himself, and take the sec ond best place.” There Is no plot to the book. to speak of, but there is an absurdly funny chapter about dog's rea party which was not in the least llke Mr. Harry Lehr’'s Newport dinners to pet monkeys, and there is a bit of a ro mance toward the last. It is 2 pleasant, out-of-door book likely to afford its readers much innocent enjoyment. (New York: The Macmillan Company.)

and “Jack fat old beget EREINNAEEDEs “A Pocketful of Posies,” by Abbie Far well Brown, is a bundle of lyrics for and about children, which should make a charming gift for any mother of a family, or for a poetry-loving child. They are real poetry, of the dalntiest and pretti est fancies, and lovers of verse cannot help enjoying them. Some of them are bright nonsense, and some are full of meaning for grown people, but they are all simple enough for a child to enjoy.

One of the best known of thes: poems is the “Ballad of the Little Page,” a touching and simple story of a little fellow who lay weeping all alone in his bed in the palace because he was afraid of the great Queen whom he had come to serve. Presentiy a sweet, white-robed lady came and comforted him and sang him to sleep, and when he saw the Queen next day he found that she was not one ‘to fear, for that she “had played nurse maid for a child.” It is rather a pity that the custom of “speaking pieces” has gone out of fashion in most of our schools, for any child's imagination would be the richer for learning by heart a poem of this kind.

Elusive and delicate in its roguish im agery is this, which may serve as an example of the general character of the book: EEL LEAS ald I've seen the grasses swaying, I've seen the rose ajar, Where Fairies had been playing, And were not hidden far. I’ve seen the blue-bells tinkling Just rung by tiny hands, I've seen the dew twinkling, New-shed from fairy wands. I've seen the leaflets shiver, Where tired wings sought rest, And flower-petals quiver Where little feet had pressed. I've seen a toadstool waver That lately sheltered ome, And lily-pads a-quaver, The fairy voyage dene. I've been s0 very near them, I've felt them close at hand, Yet never see nor hear them— I cannot understand! How can Hey be so sprightly? Why should they be so shy? I always say politely, “Coo! It is only L™ And so they need not worry, And yet they never wait; However I may hurry, I always come too" late!

Since Robert Louis Stevenson wrote “Child-Verse” tlere has been nothing prettier in the way of lyric fanties thar these little songs. (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin Co.)

“Robin Hood and His Adventures,” by ‘aul Creswick, is what every boy who has read “Ivanhoe” has longed for—a detailed blography of the famous outlaw, telling all the things which Scott did not tell of him. It is a thick book of nearly three hundred pages, with au merous pictures in black and white and color, capitally reproduced. The color work Is especially pretty.

To those who love the old Saxon sto ries of this knight of the greenwood, courtlieet of all robbers and most gen erous of outlaws, the stories which have been preserved by the common folk of England, in their country songs and tra ditions, the book will seem good reading for boys. There is a fresh, wildwood flavor to the legends of the outlaw of Nottingham, which is lacking in some of the literature preserved in old man uscripts. A man must needs be strong of body and Leart to have his deeds written in the hearts of the common people, for this sort of lore goes not by fear nor favor. (London: Ernest Nister. New York: E. P. Dutton Co.)

«“Mary Had a Little Lamb” is the ti tle of a small volume which contains the story of the famous nursery classic, told with much circumstance and many pictures, by Fannie M. Dickerson and Mary herself, the artist being H. Alvin

Owen. There is a picture of Mary in her old age, and one of the lamb, though the latter is probably more accu rate than authentic, There is also a picture of the schoolhouse where the lamb went to school. (New York: Fred erick A. Stokes Company.)

A Carolvn Wells Nonsense Book.

“The Pete and Polly Stories” is a new ‘hook of nonsense fiction by Carolyn Wells, somewhat in the vein of hes former work in this line, “Polly in Fairy land,” and its sequel. If anything, there is more genuine, unadulterated absurdity in this book than in the others. It is large fiat book of promising aspect, with capital illustrations by Fanny Young Cory, one of the pictures being on the cover, and presenting rear elevations of two small children, and a cat in a sun bonnet, with a giraffe and a toucan star ing them out of countenance. If that is not enough to make the average child hungry for the contents, nothing can do it. Now, this is the sort of literature which is not instructive, and nobody can assert that it is without danger of land ing in a lunatic asylum, but try it on some child and see the effect: “The Crocodile, looking very binky in his Elizabethan ruff, pulled the wheel barrow train along with great alacrity, and the engineer kept him steered straight, so it was not long before our friends, Pete and Polly, arrived at their destination, which, as you know, was nothing more or less than the Heart of Africa. This bumbly and extraneous por tion of the earth's surface is an enor raous, heart-shaped plot of ground, cov ered entirely with scarlet fish-geraniums, which bloom irrevocably and confinu ously.”

Here is room for serious argument. Has the child nature changed since the days of our great-grandfathers, when the New England primer was considered about the sort of literature suited to children? Or was it that the authors of that revered book and its contemporaries did not know what children needed? Does the modern child really like con glomerations of long words, which do not teach a lesson or tell a possible story? To this it may be answered that when Lewis Carrpll wrote “Alice in Wonderland” he made as radical a de parture from the children’s book of his day as this is from ordinary juvenile fic tion, and “Alice” is a classic. There is only one test for juvenile literature, and it is the same as that for any other lit erature. If the children like it, it is all right. (Chicago: A. C. McClurg Co.)

“A Captured Santa Claus’ is a new small story by Thomas Nelson Page, with illustrations in color by W. L. Jacobs. There is nothing particularly original about it, but it is an incident of the war, prettily told in the author's best manner. (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons.)

“The Bears of Biv: River,” an early work of Charles Major. has been repub lished in attractive form, with iljustra tions by A. B. Frost and others. It is a book of good bear stories, the scene being central Indiana, and the days those of the pioneers. The hero is a wilderness boy who has numerous in teresting experiences, such as taming tw bear cubs, shooting more bears than most grown men can find to shoot nowadays, and witnessing a terrific ex plosion of natural fas in a ravine call ed “The Black Gully.” The pictures are capital. (New York: The Macmillan Company.) “Pickett’'s Gap,” by Homer Greene, is a story for boys, though girls will prob ably enjoy it quite as much. Its hero is a small boy brought up by his grand father, and the plot is woven around the proposition of the railroad to run its line across the old man's land, through the family graveyard. The separation of the old man and his son, the boy's father, also plays an important part in the de velopments. It is a good bit of fiction of the old Trowbridge type, though the de nouement seems a little strained. (New York: The Macmillan Company.) SR Selling A War Incident. Bear Stories.

The incident was much commented upon, but it was entirely customary in Italy in the eight eenth century for gentlefolk to do the same. Even the cardinals took kindly to this custom, and sometimes offered refreshments to the ladies in the boxes, anll also fo the artists on the stage. After a while the people in the pit and gallery took to the idea and brought their supper with them to the theater. What ‘they could not eat they threw to the arstists on the stage, whenever the piece did not please them. DUSE has arranged for another Ameri can tour next season under the direction of Liebler Co.

THIS STORY WAS BEGUN FRIDAY, DE CEMBER 5. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS. Howard Thorne, a Harvard student, has been adopted by Mr. Undercliff, of Undercliff Monckton, Boston shipping merchants, his own father, Edgar Thorne, the intimate friends of Mr. Underclif and confidential clerk of the firm, having disa twenty years before, unjustly suspect of having taken a package containing £5,000 from the vault. He sails from San Francisco on the ship Juan Fernan dez, which is never heard from again, Two years later, when the vault is enlarged, the package is found. When the story opens, Cap tain Latimer, of the firm's brig Naids, has brought from Auckland a draft from Edgar Thorne to reimburse the firm for the amount lost while under Be bis ears. Captain Jatimer met a sailor w claims to ve n en 1) an uncharted Island the ‘Soath Pacific, and to have oeen rescudd by a white man who mysteriously appeared with a ship's longbeat, and with whom he made voyage to Auckland. After selling some pearls and buying a draft, the man returned to lunt for his father. Mr. Undercliff turns over to him for expenses the original 85.000 package. The fact that it contains a bill of a later date than his father’s disappearance causes Howard to beiieve his father's ruin was deliberately planned by Mr. Monckton, who had been his unsuccessnl rival in love.

He finds on board an other sailor, Jessop, the man rescued by his father, and makes friends with him. He is dissusted to find that he has a fellowpassen ger— Carter Monckton, son of the man he sus pects. Carter comes abosrd drunk, and Howard guides him to his stateroom and throws away is flask, Both men admire Syduey, Howard, unable to conceal his aversion to Carter, ig recarded by her as rude and preju diced. Carter is insolent to Howard in the cabin after dinner one day, and ther come to blows.

They meet heavy weather, the springs aleak, and the pumps are manned. The vessel is short handed, and Howard turns to and helps.

He had never met a girl before in whom he had taken Interest enough to care whom she made her friend:z. But for some reason it was galling to him to have Sydney Latimer so familiar with a man of Carter Monckton's stamp. “Can't she see through him?” he thought, in Jisgust. “Is she blind? I “Swéal I thudght she had more charac ter.” b And then he tried to make himself believe that he didn’t care a sixpence, anyway; but with slight success. Sydney did not attempt to “make up” with him again, however, and af’airs went on about as ever on the brig. Thorne was with Jessop even more now. He often beiped him at his work or talked with him while off duty. “I'm thinkin’ sir, ‘twould have been a great saving of time for you if the brig had touched at Valparaiso,” said the sailor one evening as they leaned over the rail together just forward of the main hatch. “You could have got just what you wanted there in the line of a craft for your exploring trip.” “But the Nailda would have been a leng way off her course.” “No more'n she's like to be now,” muttered Jessop.

Mr. Craven being call “Maybe Captain Latimer was afraid he would lose some of his crew if he put in there,” said Thorne, giving the sailor a sidelong glance. Wis “It would ha’ beeh a good thing al round if he did lose some of ‘em,” growled Jessop, “What do you mean by that!’ de manded Thorne. But the man only shook his head gloomily. “Come, Jessop,” said Thorne, “do you scent troublc—serious trouble—through this Atwell?” “Sk!

OFFICERS FLECTED THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1902. ed to fulfil an engagement of earlier date. LAURENCE IRVING is now acting Bassanio, in Sir Henry Irving's produc tion of “The Merchant of Venice,” and his performance is mentioned as “intel iectual, earnest, and impassioned.” ‘GEORGIE GIBBS MANSFIELD, son and heir of Richard, has developed even at this early period of his life much of the” imaginative quality which is so strong a characteristic of his father. “Give me an orange, papa,” the child ‘will say, and Mr. Mansfield, putting his hand into an imaginary pocket, will pass over an imaginary orange, to the evident delight of the youngster. The other morning Mr. Mansfield and the child were walking up Riverside Drive when a train passed along the New York Central tracks below the drive. As the last car rumbled away in the dis tance little Georgie started to run. “Chuchu! Chuchu! Chuchu!”—he was imitating the noise of the engine to the best of his ability. Suddenly he came to a dead step. Mr. Mansfield with a few steps was at his side. “What's the mat ter?” he asked. “Engine broke!" said Georgie. The actor seldom fails to humor the child s imaginings, so he pursed his lips, looked him over from head to foot, and foul said: “Oh! I see. The engine needs oiling. That's all.” And using his cane after the manner of an oilean he touched Georgle's buttons here and there, then ourselves, likewise,” Interrupted Jessob. He turned abruptly away and strode forward, leaving Thorne in a haze of. doubt and perplexity. CHAPTER VIL Carter Monckton Interferes. The “clink-clank! clink-clank!"™ of the brakes throbbed through the ship until every one feit the sound grate upon his nerves. f(horne heard even burly Mr. Pepper growling to the firs" mate, one day, that “the oid man should have put into Valparaise for repairs.” But although they were Bearly in the latitude of the, Chilean port, they were a long way to the westward of it. To run back would have meant aa enormous waste—in the captain's opinion--of both time and food. And had he wished to run back, this soon became impessible A third gale drove the brig into the northwest—a gale which each hour increased in violence. At first it was welcomed, for the wind blew steadily, and although it was carrying the old Naida to the Barth. of her true course, if. would, be an easy matter to run south again when the blow ceased. But as the days passed it seemed to have no in tention of ceasing. With but a few square feet of canvas spread, the Naida flew before the hurricane, and although few seas broke over her, the waves wrenched her sorely. The crew became more surly. Even the cook was unmanageable. The mulat to was a superstitious creature, and he ee eclared he had seen a ghost in the brig’s Jd when he was down overhauling the stores. There was an entrance through the bulkhead of the galley into the hold, ard "Tonio got to his pantry in thei way. There was no other way to get into the lower part of the brig bul by the hatches, and they were battened down. But the cook swore he had seen a man climbing about over the cargo, and the captain had to detail Mr. Pepper to ‘break out" such stores as were needed. As the gale continued Thorne noticed that Carter Monckton kept below most of ‘the time. As for himself, he stayed on deck, ready to lend a hand to any thing that might come up. One day, after a particularly heavy sea had boarded the brig, and had soaked him to the skin, he went below for dry apparel. The cabin was empty, but as he descended the stairs the door of Monck ton's stateroom was flung open and its occupant, wild-eyed and but half lressed, rushed out into the main cabin. “What is it?” he yelled. “‘Is she sink ing? What shail I do!” He grabbed Thorne by the arm His eyes were bloodshot; his face pale as death. There was no need to ask what was the matter with the fellow. He had been drinking heavily; that was plain. “Come, behave yourself!" exclaimed Thorne, shaking his arm free. “Go back to your bunk and sober up—d'ye hear? The brig isn’t sinking. We only shipped a big wave, that's all.” He pushed Monckton into his room again and shut the door. “Pah!” he muttered, as he entered his own cabin. “And that’s the fellow whose Society our captain's daughter prefers to mine?” But the hurricane blew itself out nt length and the hot sun shone from an unflecked sky once more. The captain was able to take his first observation for nearly a fortnight. CAT AND POULTRY SHOW PROVES A SUCCESS Exhibition Under the Auspices of the Washington Association Ends This Evening. The cat and poultry show which has been in progress at the Masonic Temple for several days will close tonight. It has proven the most successful exhibij tion ever held under the auspices of the local association. Attendance has been good throughout. All expenses of conducting the show have been paid out of the door receipts. ‘Several hundred orphans were guests the association this afternoon. Invi tightened an imaginary screw, and final ly remarked: “Now the engine's all right again.” “Chuchu! Chuechu! Chuchu!” And Georgie, quite contented, was again racing along the drive as if trying to make up lost time on the train sched ule. FRAULEIN GRETE MEYER, of the Lessing Theater, has been awarded $25 damages from Herr Strecker, a eritic, who described her movements on the stage as being ‘‘as graceful as those of a hippopotamus.” The judge affirmed that the characterization of the actress as a hippopotamus was calculated to lower her in public esteem, adding that theat rical criticism must observe the tone usual with educated people. The defend ant justified himself by quoting equally objectionable sceriticisms made by other Berlin reviewers, but which the actress aliowed to pass without question. SIR HENRY IRVING and company and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bourchier, after acting before the King and Kaiser, supped with them, Bourchier being bid den to sit down at the royal table in his padded Dr. Johnson garb. HAVANA patrons of the theater desire Signora Duse for a series of five per formances. She has been cabled to state her price, but as yet no reply has been received. Paderewskl is also being mien tioned. Jessop was standing near Thorne when its result was made known. He utiered an involuntary exclamation. “What is it?” asked the young man. “Why, sir, we're mighty close to the spot where the Anna Pixley was when she took her last observation. That island——"" “Well, what about the island?” de ‘manded Thorne eagerly, as Jessop hesi tated. “It ought to be pretty nigh due north here—as 1 could figure it out.” Thorne rushed below and examined his chart. The sailor was right. The leng continued gale had blown the Naida so far off her course that she was now but a short distance from that por tion of the South Pacific where the strange island on which Jessop had been wrecked was situated. A great desire to reach the island—to reach it at once— seized upon Thorne. Could he wait to make the rest of the passage to Auckland and then work back again before sighting the island on which Edgar Thorne might be living? He felt as though he could net. Bio vkp lecoBeil Bib gr LAY He went«ili search of the captain. The Naida was already being put about on a more soufherly tack. “Captain Latimer,” he began eagerly, “do you realize where we are?” “H-m-m! What d'ye mean? I've just taken my observation,” responded the captain, with’ a twinkle in his eye. “I reckon I've got it straight, sir.” “I mean, do you know that we are in: that part of the ocean in which the Anna Pixley burned “Great Seott! no!” exclaimed the cap tain. “Where's the chart?” Thorne had brought his with him. He cthowed him the place he had marked on the map as being about the position of the island on which Jessop had been cast. “Jessop says it must be almost due north of here—and it can’t be far,” pur sued Thorne. “Can't you put the Naida on the opposite tack for*a day or so? We may come across it.” Captain Latimer looked excited. He examined the chart closely. “It would take us a good bit off our course,’ he muttered thoughtfully, “an’ the Lord knows this is going to be a long enough run, as it is. I dunno what Undercliff Monckton will say.” “Ill be answerable for Mr. Under cliff,” said Thorne. I feel sure he would say ‘Do Jt1!" “But there's a mighty big chance of our not hitting it in a week of Sundays,” returned the captain. “And then again,” he admitted, “we might run slap up against it, first thing.” “It can't make much mutter,” urged Thorne; “we're so far off our course already.” “Let's see what Sessions thinks about it,” said the captain. He raised his voice and shouted for the first mate. Mr. Sessions approached and the third officer also joined them. “See here,” said Latimer, “what d'ye think of tbis? You know what Mr, Thorne has come out with us for? He figures that this very island he is after isn't far to the nor'ward of us at this blessed minute. He wants we should put the brig on a northerly course for a day or two and see if we can strike the island... What d'ye think, Sessions? You're acquainted with these latitudes.” The mate took Thorne’s chart and eyed it critically. “I don’t know,” he said, slowly, OEE Ei Zama aaah aad ol la i (WILL BE CONTINUED MONDAY AND EVERY WEEK DAY UNTIL COMPLETED.) tations were sent to a! the orphan homes about the city, and the majority of the children In each institution were allowed to attend.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. Assistant Secretary Ailes is convinced of the sincerity of Pettiford, the Seventh Day Adventist, who refused to work in the Treasury on Saturdays. He has se cured the transfer of Pettiford to the Sixth Auditor's office, in the Postoffice Department, where he will do job work, and not be compelled to work on Sat urday against his religious prineiples. Chief Clerk Hillis said today that the department has given up the idea of using crude oil as fuel for heating pur poses. This decision was reached after the examination of the reports of the crude ofl trial made in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The relative cost was about 10 to 7 in favor of the coal. David M. Hess, chief electrician, is now enjoying his leave. Will coalene make coal last longer? This was the question the engineers of the Treasury were called upon to an sewer yesterday. Their decision was against coalene. The coalene was sent to the department as an experimect. It is a powder, which looks like cement. When mixed with water it is sald to add 25 per cent to the fuel value of coal, both bituminous and anthracite. The engi neers, however, say they achieved no better results than by use of water by itself, which allows the coal “to coke,” and prevents so much smoke. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The Survey has now in press, and will shortly issue a topographic map of the district surrounding Helena, Mon tana, known as the “Helena Quadrangle.” An interesting feature of the map is that jn it appears the headquarters of streams flowing through the Missouri River to the Gulf of Mexico, and within a mile or less the waters of other streams which pess to the Pacific Ocean by way of the Columbia river.

Alexander Mosher, in charge of print ed copies of patents, sends thousands of these weekly editions to little towns ‘throughout the country. Inventors .u these places often write to the office for references of alleged Infringeincnts of thelr applications, and this werk has to be attended to by Mr. Mosher and his staff. Mr. Mosher often find: much ‘amusement in some of the letters he re ceives from the backwoods.

P. Austin, chief of the bureau, will deliver an address before the Alexander Hamilton Chapter of the American Insti tute of Bank Clerks. His subject is “Na tional Debts of the World.” A comparison between the Panama and Nicaragua routes for an American isthmian canal has been made by the Bureau of Statistics. The total length of the Panama route is 49.09 miles, that of the Nicaragua route is 183.66 miles. The Panama route has a natural harboms at either end, the Nicaragua has not. The relative cost of constructing the canals is, Nicaragua, §189,864,032; Panama, $144,233,368. The annual cost of main tenance and operation is, Nicaragua, $3, 300,000; Panama, $2,000,000. The annual cost of maintaining the Suez Canal is about $1,300,000, An average steamer would require twelve hours to pass through the Panama canal and thirty three hours to cross the Nicaragua. But the sea distance between New York and San Farncisco by the Nicaragua route is 498 nautical miles less than by way of Panama. BUREAU OF FORESTRY. George B.

Morton, chief clerk of the army headquarters, is one of the best known clerks in the War Department. Mr. Morton served with Geaeral Schofield, and has been with General Miles since that officer became commanding general of the army. The one remarkable thing about Mr. Morton is his extreme popu larity with the officers attached to the staff of General Miles; in faet it is frankly admitted that he has as much influence at headquarters as any officer there. Mr. Morton greatly distinguished himself in the Spanish-American war when he served “at the front” as a vol unteer captain Miss Josephine C. Kelton is one of the many “army girls’ who is working at the War Department. Miss Kelton is a daughter of the late Adjutant General Kelton, and is recognired as one of the most capable clerks in the office of the Adjulant General. Since she has been in the War Department Miss Kelton has had a rapid rise and now holds an lmportant position in the appoint ment division of the Adjutant General's office. Another “army girl” employed at the War Department is Miss Fannie Cham berlaine. Miss Chamberlaine is an ex pert photographer, and has often dene work of such merit as to call forth the praise of professional artists in photography. NAVY DEPARTMENT. Edward W. Callahan, who was recently appointed chief clerk of the Bureau of Navigation, is probably the youngest man holding a position of this import ance in the State, War, and Navy Bulld ing. Mr. Callahan has completely re organized the clerical work of his bu reav, and, Admiral Taylor says, with ex cellent results. The enlisted men of the navy number something less than 22,000, of which 8,000 were enlisted this last year as untrained landsmen, mostly from the Middle Weeiern States. This material is re garded as perhaps the most promising. Eighty-nine per cent of the enlisted force are American citizens, and 76 per cent are native born.

Parker, chief of the lands and railroads division, is confined to his rooms with a slight attack of peu raigia. Mr. Parker is expected to re turn to his desk today. The work of a private secretary for a Cabinet officer requires a large amount of diplomatic gift. W. Scott Smith, who occupies that position for Secretary Hitchcock, possesses that gift to a marked degree. Nearly every day the Secretary's office is filled with parties seeking Information regarding pensions, bounty lands, the Indians, etc., and Mr, Smith, with his usual tact, seems to give them all thorough satisfaction. Edward M. Dawson, chief clerk, is su« pervising the placing of a steam heat ing plant throughcui ihe building. This will do away entirely with the numerous open fires and stoves now in the depart ment. The sum of $74,600 was aAppro priated some time ago for the electrical plant in the old Postoffice Building, which by means of a conduit under F Street partly supplies the Interior Office with heat from its waste steam. Recently $24,000 was added to this appropriation to make this system more complete, The large model rooms in the Patent Office side have been changed to office rooms, and it is deemed proper now to supply them with more heat.

Edwards, of the police force, be removed, to take effect November 15, for conduct unbe coming a policeman. Thi: action of the Board was based upon the findings of the trial board, and upon the recommenda tion of the Superintendent. The specifi= cations against Edwards were that he behaved in an unseemly manner toward his wife and ste. ~un, and that he ar rested one Victor Dent on two occa sions, without warrant, charging him with disorderly conduct which could not be substantiated. For a decidedly neat special applica« tion of an ancient aphorism, the follow ing instance told of in the “Thiladelphia Press” will repay appreciative atten tion: After Senator Quay had said in the Senate this afternoon that ‘if the Republicans would lie about the Statehood plank in their nitisaal platform they would lie about other planks,™ the Democrats were discussing the statement im the cloa“ room. “I suppose he meant ‘Falsus in une, falsus in omnibus,” said Semator Heitfeld. “Yes, especially ‘omnibus,’ replied Senator Dubois. “Argentina, Past and Present,” was the subject of an illustrated lecture giv en last night in the National Rifles Armory Hall by Elmer L.

SIOCK PRICES SHOW SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT ne Majority of Securities on the Lisi Exhibit Strength Afr er the Initial Transac tions on the Market. Trading Sentiment More Cheerful in Expectation of Favorable Bank State ment and Return of Cur rency.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15 —The stock mar ket held sieady this morning on a light volume of business, prior to the publita tion of the bank statement. It seemed to be. the common impression that the statement would make a fairly favorabie exhibit, inasmuch as a very considerable reduction in loans was commonly looked for. Sentiment had a distinctly more cheer ful hue, chiefly because of the same cir cumstance which was the main eause of yesterday's sharp rally in the mar ket. ramely, the ovidence that currency is finally beginning to return to this point from the agricuitural sections. There was little further discussion of the Venezuelan situation. American stocks were shown at mate rial gaing in the London market, and there were moderate purchases for for eign account conducted here. Strong and artive feaivres of the rail way list were St, Paul, Louisville and Nashville. Missouri Pacific, and Pennsyl wvania. Evaneville’ and Terre Haute scored a further sharp advance on a repeiition of the reports recently cur rent that the control of the read was about to change hands. Manhaitan Railway was the active fea ture of bte local traction group, and after showing pressure at the opening of business, the stock rallied sharply. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was firm. The United States Steel stocks contin ned very active and were steady, around sesterdoy" $s final levels. There were no movements of interest in the miscella neous stocks apart from an extensive “advance in American Smelting and Re fining. Amalgamated Copper was fairly saetive, but moved within small limits, stern Union was steady. In respeci, both of activity and in the iw fluctuations in prices, the trading presented a sharp contrast with yester day's turbulent dealings. ~The bank statement proved to be fair Ir well in line with the general expeecta tions, except thit the decrease in the ‘loam account, which amounted to only $2,065,000, fell somewhat below general Actual cash decreased $3. which, together with the curtail om in the loan account, was approxi mately reflected tn the item of deposits N decreased $6,031,000. In conse surplus reserves decreased $1. which leaves the banks" cash at $8,387,000 in excess of the requirements. __ Following were the stock quotations at

There has been a drop in prices from the high point of the year of nearly 21 points, and the belief is that stocks are now below their actual values, based on their earning power. The rally at the close yesterday indicated that the in surance companies and other lurge cor porations seeking to invest their always accumulating surplus had gone into the market and were quietly purchasing good stocks. The evidence of ‘good buy ng" caused some of the shorts to cover. This morning there was further evidence of good buying, and as long as it is of the investment and not of the specula tive character the market will remain reasonably steady with a tendency to higher prices. The interior has begun already to re turn money to New Yerk, and during the week $1,271,050 was received. This is a decided (urn for the beiter and shows practically a change in accounts of two millions, as last week there was a loss to interior banks of nearly one million. fUR ainmicy 0 NOW 101A, alla Quilas the week $1,271,050 was received. This is a decided turn for the beiter and shows practically a change in accounts of two millions, as last week there was a loss to interior banks of nearly one million. The distinction between investment and speculation buying apparentiy depends upon whether the money used to pur chase stocks comes out of the deposits in New York banks or is forwarded from other cities. Boston seems to be the only city that is not suffering from a stringent money market, and has plenty of funds for investment. The condition in Chi cago, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia is the same in preportien to that of New York. The break in the prices of the Consol idated Lake Superior stocks in Philadel phia produced a panic in that city of serious consequences. Many persons had invested their savings in those stocks, and apparently few of them had pur chased outright, but were dealing on margins. There has been a drop of about 3G points in the stocks, but the greatest drop was yesterday, due to the fact that the company hafl passed Its diviiends after borowing one million to pay the same, and made further improvements, The merging of the Western National with the Bank of the United States, means the establishment of one of the strongest financial institutions in New York. The newly organized bank will have a paid-up capital of $10,000,000, and will bring together the Equitable Life Assurance Company, the Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Prudential Life Insurance Company, the Morton Trust Company and the Mercantile Trust Company. The great financial power and far-reaching influence of these in: 2sts, each of which is a tower of strength in itself, will make this new bank second to none in New York. It is more than probable the sale of 1,700 shares of the City National Bank on Thursday at 290 may probably be attributed to one of these interests. It has been known for vears that the Equitable Life was large ly interested in the City National. TE ad Call loans ran up to 12 per cent yes terday and time loans were refused ex cept to regular customers engaged in wercantile pursuits, It is believed money rates will drop back to 3 per cent, There is no doubt a call was made this week on the speculative pool in Southern Pacific, and as it is known Mr. Keene is at the head of that pool, all sorts of ‘rumors were circulated as to the diffi culty he was in. From the best sources it can be stated that Mr. Keene has ds much faith in the future of the stock as ever, and has as many unimpaired re sources at his command to protect the drives which have been made against it as he had when the pool was first formed. As a matter of fact, so it is said, the pool is now stronger than ever before, and was reported to be a purchaser of the stock yesterday below 60. It is also stated that none of the pool stock will be closed out below cost. After the heavy liquidation of the week the bank statement was looked upon as a disappointment, and room traders are inclined to view the gitua tion from the bear side. However, the short side of the market is always fa. vored by them. The bank statement was ‘as follows: Reserve on all deposits (de -—t FO ard Reserve on deposits other than United States (decrease) 1,582,225 Loans (decrease) seen 2,065,500 Specie (decrease) cass 3,761,500 Legals (increase) 666,000 Deposits (decrease) 6,031,000 Circulation (increase) 54,000 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. fse— M Street northwest between Fifteenth and Sixteenth Streets—Harvey T.

INSURES INDUSTRIAL PEACE Retail Trade Accelerated by Lower Temperatures and Holiday Demands. Railway Earnings La:ge. Dun’'s weekly review of trade today says: “As industrial peace is essential to national prosperity, the week has been most fruitful. The anuual meeling of the Civic Federation brought together labor leaders and capitalists, and facilitated interchange of opinions. Little friction occurred, and there is every prospect that hereafter amicable adjustment of most disputes will be reached. This orzanization effected numerous settle ments during the year, in some cases involving important industries, but the work has been done so quietly that the public dees not appreciate its service, “Business will be greatly Lenefiied by the large amount of money put in cir culation by work on the Pennsylvania Railway tunnel, which is expecied to begin in the near future, while oceupa tion will be provided for an array of wage-earners. Lower temperature and holiday demands have combined to ac celerate retail trade, sales largely ex ceeding the corresponding week in pre ceding years. Much postponed business is being made up, and shipping depart ments are crowded with work, but wholesale trade has ruled quivt, Bank Statement Gratifying. “Considering the striking decrease in volume of speculation, the iigures of bank exchanges at this city are most gratifying, showing a loss of only 15.8 per cent compzred with the same week last year, and an increase of 4.3 per cent over 1899. At other leading cities, however, there is a loss of 5.1 per cent from last year’s clearings, while fail ures are excepiionzlly numerous. Raii way earnings for the month of Novem ber exceeded last year's by 7.0 per cent, and those of 1900 by 20.5 per cént. “Considering the extent to which blast furnaces were handicapped by in adequate supplies of fuel, the produc tion of 1,464,423 tons of pig iron in No vember was much larger than generally anticipated, although smaller than in any other month of the half year «xcept September. “According to the ‘Iron Age,’ the weekly capacity of furnaces in blast on December 1 was 343,551 tons, against 337,569 tons week'y on November 1, and 324,761 tons a year ago. Numerous fur naces have been blown in, and it is cer tain that output will rise far above 1,500,000 monthly as soon as normal con ditions exist in regard to the supply of coke. With the added interruption of snow blockades, however, it is nou probable that a free movement iso te expected in the immediate future. Transportation Inadequate.

“At first glance the sudden rise in furnace stocks of pig iron to 94,205 tons, compared 1 a 71,858 on November 1, might suggest that consumption was below productio.. %at obviously any ae cumulation that «ccurs is due to inade quate transporting 'acilities, since needs are urgent, as evidenced by the imports of eastern steel works. The pressure is still greatest for railway supplies, with structural material next as to urgency of demand. “Small supplementary orders for spring shoes are received by New Eng land shops, but the season is practically over. Buyers are urgent for delivery on early contracts, and factories are now fully engaged. It is encouraging that many leading producers are compelled to refuse orders calling for delivery before March, which turns the business over to other concerns, distributing activity {more uniformly. *“Salesmen at the West have thus far sent in few orders for fall and winter goods, Local jobbing and retail trade in footwear has been brisk with the sea i sonable weather. Aside from activity in union sole, the leather market has been {quiet. Further recessions have occurred in domestic hides. On the other hand, i foreign dry hides are firmly held, de spite increased receipts. Conditions are practicaliy unchanged as to cotton goods ‘a fair volume of orders preventing ac cumulation at the mills. “Quotations are steady, and export sales of heavy brown cottons continue very small. In special lines of wide sheetings small advances in prices oc curred, aithough in seme divisions of the market there is eeonfidence that lower prices will be caused by subsequent de clines in the raw material. Woolen goods for next fall have been opened at an average advance of from 5 to 19 per cent. “Decided strength appeared in the wheat market. owing chiefly to higher cables and eager purchases for export. The upward {endency of foreign mar kets must be attributed to less favorable crop reports rom producing countries, notably Argentina, while estimates of the Manitoba yield were reduced, “Some decrease in Western receipts also had a strengthening influence on guota tions; for the week arrivals aggregating 6,133,653 bushels, against 9,964 654 bush els jast week, and 6,742,949 bush elg a year ago. Total experts from all ports of the United States, flour included, were 4,351,012 bushels, compared with 5.340,799 bushels last week, and 3,847,859 bushels in the corresponding week of 1961 “According to the cilicial report, both acreage and ccundition of winter wheat point to a much heavier yield than last year, which is the one factor that tends to prevent a larger ac‘vance in prices. Quiet conditions prevail as to corn, re ceipts of 3,270,240 bushels comparing with 4,133,431 bushels last year, while Atlantic exports were 718.562 bushels, against 307,802 bushels in 1901. Although smaller than last week's ocutgo, ship ments are beginning to exhibit a ma teria! gain over last year's figures. “Sensational declines in stocks have occurred without any logical explanation other than a successful rald by profes sional operators on a market which was passing through a season of dullness be cause of financial conditions. Liquida tion wag facilitdated by the situation in Venezuela, although this factor can have ‘but a sentimental influence. “Warranted or not, the baeak in nrices was severe, the average of the sixty most active railways falling $12.45 per share belew the high record point of three months ago. With only a moder ale surplus reserve reported by the as

Foreign Exchange Dull. “Foreign exchange has been dull, rates for money preventing any possibility of goid exports to Europe. Exports of mer chandise are very heavy, for the last week at this port exceeding the corre sponding movement a rear ago by $1, 766,979, and surpassing all weekly rec ords for over a vear and a half. 2 “Liabilities of commercial failure thus far reported for December aggregate $2,103,395, of which $704,524 wer: in man ufacturing, $1,187,239 in trading, and $211,632 in other commercial lines.

THOM TRIAL POSTPONED. THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 13, 190 DR. CLARKE TO LECTURE IN ENGLAND ON ATOMIC THEORY Will Speak Before the Wildé Founda tion at Centennial An niversary. Dr. Frank Wigglesworth Clarke, pro fessor of mineral chemistry in the Co Jlumbian University and chief chemist of the United States Geological Survey, has been invited by the Philosophical Society of Manchester, England, to deliver the Wilde lecture on the atomic theory, upon the 100th anniversary of the propound ing of this theory at Manchester by John Dalton. ~The essence of Dalton's theory, upon which modern chemistry is founded, is that every chemical element is made up of homogeneous atoms whose weight is constant. It is very fitting that Prof. Clarke, who has devoted upward of thir iy years to the study of these atomic weights. should have been selected from ‘the chemists of the world to make the address on this important occasion. Although the Manchester Philosophi cal Society was established in the eighteenth century, the Wilde founda tion. under which the lecture is to be given, was created but recently; vet the Wilde lecturers have been chosen from the list of the most eminent men of sci ence in England. Among those so hon ored may be mentioned Lord Rayleigh, the physicist; Prof. Ramsay, the dis coverer of the rare elements Neon, Crypton, and Xenon, and Dr. Huggins, the astronomer. Dr. Clarke has filled many important professional positions, has held the high est office in several of our most promi nent scientific societies, and has been decorated by foreign governments but this invitation is a most unique distine tion.

It has 446 members.
