We must protest that we are being hurled headlong into the aeronautic era before we are really there. The magazines and newspaper artists are doing it. St.Louis balloon race the periodicals and daily press have teemed with aerial phantasies from their brush and pencil. We have been taken up to a vast pictorial height and shown air ships acting as cabs, car- riages, runaboute, landaus, mail trains, limited expresses, battle ships, bicycles,mounted police and delivery wagons. Artistically the last guy rope has parted; we are all up in the air. As a matter of fact, we are not. we are far from it. Merely the first teeble halting steps have been taken in the direction of a dirigible flying machine. Against such playful premature- ness we protest because it will leave us no emotion when the real thing actually comes around. In technical journalese, the picture-makers are “tipping off a good story before it is ripe” and consequently “spoiling it.” OBSERVATIONS. A man’s idea of sympathy is to look sad and pat a girl’s hand. A stubborn fountain pen often interrupts a man’s flow of thought. Woman’s nature is a mystery that man has never been able to solve. One of the hardest things to do is raise money when you just have to have it. Many a young man is sorry he spoke after spending a day pricing furniture. A man seldom thinks he is as bad as he is—or as good as his wife thinks he is. But the man who saws wood and says nothing is not always as wise as he seems. It’s better to have an ounce of confidence in yourself than a pound of faith in your neighbor. While a pretty woman may not care to be brainy, 2 brainy woman always wants to be pretty. DENIED BY CLOWRY. Waestern Union Made No Agreement With Strikers. New York, Nov. 8.—In an interview Colonel R. C. Clowry, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, says that the statement made by an oficer of the Telegraphers’ union to the effect that a truce or agreement bad been entered into between the telegraph companies and the strikers is absolutely untrue. The returniag strikers will only be re-employed on their individual application and but a small percentage of them can be glven employment. Following the official calling off of the telegraphers’ strike by the local union the offices of the Western Union Wwere crowded with applicants who sought to regain their old positions. None was accepted, however, the com- pany, according to its statement, hav- g brought its force up to the original quota Tuesday. Wisconain Teachérs Tn Sesslon, Milwaukee, Nov. 8,~Over 2,000 schoolteachers from all parts of, the state gathered at the Alhambra/'the. ater to attend the annual convention ot the Wisconsin Teachers’ assocta- tion. After the appointment of the verious committees the first session was taken up with the reading of gev- eral Interesting papers, —————— Ever since the| FEELING OF SERENITY Conditions in Financial Circles Continue to Improve, EUROPE PROTECTS HER GOLD Rate of Discount of the Bank of Eng- land Raised to Seven Per Cent and the French Rate Advanced to Four Per Cent. £ New' York, Nov. 8.—The action of the Bank of England and the Bank of France In raising their discount rates, the former to 7 per cent and the latter to 4 per cent, is regarded as evidence that the European banks expect a severe pull upon their resources from America and that it will require the most resolute steps to meet it. While New York already has engaged on the present movement gold to the amount of $39,175,000 the scant crops in Eu- rope and the rapid outward movement of American products threaten to draw more gold to this country in spite of the protective measures of the European banks. The English bank rate has not been at 7 per cent | before since 1873 and it is exceptional for the French rate to be put as high as 4 per cent, because it is the well established policy of the Bank of France to obtain gold at a loss in or- der to afford a uniform rate of accom- modation to commerce. The general feeling in financial cir- cles here is one of serenity and con- fidence in spite of the advances in European bank rates. The continuous arrivals of gold, which have been swelled by $1,600,000 coming on the Teutonic, are rapidly replenishing bank reserves and affording the basis for protecting credit. It is not antici- pated that it will be necessary to issue small scrip here as is being done in other cities, although wages in many cases will be paid in checks. HIGHEST SINCE 1873. Bank of England Ralses Discount Rate to Seven Per Cent. London, Nov. 8—The directors of the Bank of England have put up the minimum discount rate from 6 to 7 per cent. The only thing which could have averted this heavy rate would have been assurances from responsi- ble quarters in New York that the situation there, which it is recognized 1s due to the exceptional demands upon capital in consequence of the great commercial activity in America, 1s sufficiently well in hand to warrant the expectation that there would be an early cessation of the gold drain on this market. In the absence of such an assurance the Bank of England utilized the only weapon at hand to protect its reserves. It is realized, however, that even this high rate may not prevent shipments of gold to New York, but it is hoped that it may at: tract the metal from abroad in suffi- clent quantities to restore the equilib- rlum. The step was doubly neces- sary, as the bank must nurse its sup- plies just at present for the autumn country cash requirements as well as the usual Egyptian demands and there is a possibility of demands for gold from Argentina. The last occasion when a 7 per cent rate was enforced by the Bank of England was in 1878 and was due to financial troubles on the Continent and in America. On that occasion the rate eventually reached 9 per cent, but it quickly fell to 4%. The local business community is bound to feel the pinch and the finan- clers anticipate that the drastic rate will cause an even greater squeeze in Germany, with a consequent increase of discount rate of the Imperial bank of Germany and selling orders from Berlin. STOCK MARKET DEPRESSED Various Causes Tend to Force Drop in Prices. New York, Nov. 8—The stock mar- ket here showed quick resistance to the depressing influence of the ad- vance in the official discount rates of the Bank of England and the Bank of France, which had weakened the for- elgn markets. First prices of stocks here, while lower, did not decline to the London parity and a recovery set in immediately. Except in the Cana- dian group the fall was not severe. Canadian Pacific declined 4% and Min- neapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie preferred 2%. The extreme early losses here ran to 1% in Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Baltl- more and Ohio and to a point in Atchi- son, Amalgamated Copper and Amer- ican Smelting. There was a recovery of about half of these declines on the average in the course of half an hour, There was very little activity in the market. The continued stiffness of the call loan market in spite of arrivals of gold from abroad caused some disap- pointment amongst operators in stocks. A renewed . decline in the price of copper was another depress- ing influence in the market. Amalga- mated Copper fell 2% and American Smelting 3% and the whole list gave way gradually to a level of prices lower than the opening. The market became quite weak late in the day under the influence of the fining of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the evident liquidation in United States Steel bonds and reports of widespread shutting down of in- dustrial operations. The last prices were but little above the lowest. MONEY FOR THE NORTHWEST New York Banks Will Render All Pos- sible Aid, New York, Nov. 8.—Now that the monetary strain has been lessened lo- cally the New York banks have begun preparations to ship all avallable cur- Tency to the Northwest to aid the movement of crops. While there is concerted action among the city bank- ing institutions to meet the demands from the crop country the individual banks also will send all funds that can Ppossibly be spared. 3 ! : ~ Watimates "6f e amounts that the New York banks will send to the Northwest within the next six weeks vary. The Chase National bank apd the First Natlonal bank have com- menced to ship dally sums ranging from $26,000 to $60,000 to banks along the route of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. James J. Hill held a conference here with officials of the Chase Na- tlonal bank and other institutions, at which he asked that the Northwest be given all possible assistance. He was informed that, while the local banks could not furnish the usual amount of money for crop moving, they were anxious to do all they could to expe- dite the shipment of cereals to the seaboard. FOR BENEFIT OF HEALTH Emperor William to Recuperate on Isle of Wight. Berlin, Nov. 8—The decision of Emperor Willlam not to visit Holland and to rest on the Isle of Wight after his visit to King Edward was taken after the emperor's physiciang had perceived that the cold which he had taken Oct. 26 while watching the air- ship experiments at Tegel had left an Inflammation around the palate and the neighboring channels leading to the ears. As his majesty suffered much in earlier life from a similar in- flammation extending to these ducts he readily accepted their advice to go to the Isle of Wight after fulfilling his English engagements, which were too near to cancel. The climate of the Isle of Wight is regarded as being mild and equable and less in contrast with the German climate than that of the Southern latitudes, to which the emperor Wwill have to go at the begin- ning of winter. Violent Earthquake in Spain. Madrid, Nov. 8—A violent earth- quake has occurred at Torre la Ri- bera, in the province of Huesca. The earth opened, leaving great fissures, the disturbance being accompanied by subterranean rumblings which caused a panic among the population. Many houses were shaken down. The num- ber of lives lost is not known. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. BRIEF The British battleship Superb, an- other improved Dreadnaught, has been launched at the Elswick yards at Newcastle. Alfred G. Vanderbilt has offered the Newport (R. 1) Young Men’s Chris- tlan association a new building to be erected as a memorial to his father, the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, at a cost of $100,000. 8. Mathews, colored, recently ar- rived in Minneapolis from Chicago, is under arrest in the Mill City charged with killing Galenus Jones, also col- ored. Jealousy because of the atten- tions of Jones to a white woman was the motive for the killing. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, Nov. 7.—Wheat—Dec., 98%@98%c; May, $1.05%.

P OFFICAL TALKS Foreign Minister Hayashi on Re- lations With America, WERE NEVER MORE CORDIAL Immigration Question Will Be Settled In Such a Manner as to Benefit Ja- pan and at the Same Time Conform to Wishes of Unlted States. Tokio, Nov, 8.—The official silence Se long consistently maintained by Japan on the subject of the relations of the United States and Japan in of friction has been broken by an Assoclated Press interview with Min- Ister of Foreign Affairs Hayashi. He prefaced his statement by expressing the hope that a sincere pronounce- ment by the foreign minister of Ja- r S VISCOUNT HAYASHI. pan and its publication through the Associated Press would prevent fur- ther misrepresentation and finally re- sult in discrediting those who are constantly circulating false and harm- ful reports. He spoke not only as a foreign minister, but as representing the sentiment of the entire cabinet and the public. Relations Never More Cordlal. Minister Hayashi then said that the relations between Japan and America ‘were as smooth and cordial as ever and the cause of civilization as well ag community of interests demanded their lasting peace and friendship. That full weight may be given the in- terview it is proper to state that it only after lengthy consideration of the propriety of an official statement at this time. His pronouncement con- firms the views expressed to the As- sociated Press on every hand by poli- ticians, newspaper men and others. Minister Hayashi admitted that the immigration question ‘would be settled | without friction. Already it practically has been decided. The Japanese gov- ernment proposes to control emigra tlon in' such a manner as to benefit Japan and at the same time conform to the wishes of the American govern- ment and is taking most active steps in this direction. The foreign minister believes that Japan will be able to solve the ques- tion in this manner, it requiring only PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT fis guaranteed to cure any case of Ttching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Piles in 6 to 14 days or money refunded. 50c Make up a Party bundle of articles which only re- uire cleaning or dyeing to make them give further service.

One thing certain is that the Japanese government is not so- licitous for the emigration of its peo- ple into any country. In connection with this interview it may be sald that the relations be- tween United States Ambassador O'Brien and Foreign Minister Haya- shi are imcreasing in friendship and cordlality. They have conferred fre- quently since Mr. O'Brien's arrival and it may be presumed that the questions affecting the future rela- tlons of the two countries and an am- loable settlement of all outstanding questions have been fully discussed. Four Jap Laborers Killed.
