How easy it is to forgive an enemy when he is in a position to do vou a favor. Many an otherwise truthful man man claims to get a larger salary than he does. A frensied financier out of a job is as much use to the world asa last year’s bird’s nest. Instead of hunting trouble many a man has had it thrust upon him by letting & widow lead him to the altar, A woman should acknowledge the financial allowances made by her husband by making allowance for his shortcomings. Get on the other side of the street when you see a man approaching who never fails to inform you that the world is daily growing worse.

If it closes up some of the newspapers I think it might be a good thing.” HEALTHY RIVALRY HELPS. Steel Trust Would Not Crush Compe- tition, S8ays Gary. New York, Nov. 2i—E. H. Gary, chairman of the directorate of the United States Steel corporation, has struck a new and remarkable keynote In respect to business rivalry. In an interview, in whioh he was reviewing the speech he made here recently to representative steel and iron men, Mr. Gary 1is quoted as saying: “Too many men have learned too Iate that the friendship of the public and the confidence of one’s competitors are the most desirable elements in business. “I want to see our competitors suc- ceed. It is the policy of the steel corporation not to crush competition by fair or foul means. The steel trust controls about 60 per cent of the steel and iron business of the United States and there is no intention of enlarging that control. We believe conditions will be better with healthy rivalry.. “It is clear that the United States Steel corporation, with its extensive resources, could use its glant strength like other corporations to crush com- petition. But in the end would the game be worth the candle?” The cor- poration would become an object of attack. In my judgment such a policy ‘would be the undoing of our corpora- tlon, in which billions of dollars are Invested.” BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. Gompers Re-Elected President of Fed- eration of Labor. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 2 .—Samuel Gom- pers has been unanimously re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor.

The federation called upon interna- tlonal unions to send organizers to Los Angeles when needed. The federation adopted resolutions declaring that the supreme court of the United States alone shall have au- thority to declare federal laws uncon- stitutional and the supreme courts of states to declare state laws unconsti- tutional, no law to be declared uncon- stitutional except by unanimous vote of said courts.

Berlin, Nov, 2 .—Emperor Willlam has ordered the assembling of a mili- tary court of homor to try Genmeral Count von Hohenau, lately commander of the guard duty corps and aide-de- camp general of his majesty, who was obliged to resign because he was ac- cused of being one of the so-called court camarilla exposed by Herr Har- den, editor of Die Zukunft, Princess Leaves Her Husband.

MORGAN IN WASHINGTON Financier Meets the President and 8ecretary Cortelyou. Washington, Nov. 2.—The visit of J. Plerpont Morgan to Secretary Cor- telyou and the president is generally aocepted here as evidence that the financial leaders in New York intend to ceoperate with the treasury de- partment in making a success of the new loans. Mr. Morgan's views and advice have commanded much atten- tlon because of his detachment in TAnKINE enterprises 1 Wew vork and the breadth of view which his friends declare he has always brought to con- ditions like the present. Mr. Morgan has long favored some modification of the existing currency system, but has not, so far as his frlends are in- formed, undertaken to prepare any de- tailed plan of his own. He found Sec- retary Cortelyou in agreement with him that several steps should be taken to glve greater elasticity to circula- tlon so as to restore confidence, but did not inbist strongly upon any of the several measures which are now the gubject of popular discussion. The assurances brought by Mr. Mor- gan in regard to the improvement in conditions in New York, with the sub. scriptions which ave still coming in for the new loans, encourage the belief here that the corner has been turned in the monetary situation and that the banks throughout the country will soon be able to resume currency pay- ments without restriction. The enor- mous amount of gold which has ar- rived or been engaged is felt to be rather more than sufficient to restore the New York bank reserves to a point of safety and it is believed that after the opening of the bids for the Panama bonds the situation will be such that further gold imports will not be required. Avallable for Immediate Use. New York, Nov. 2 .—The sum of $12,849,000 in gold from Europe was added to the currency of this country when 826 boxes of the precious metal were landed from the liners Maure- tania, Baltic and La Savoie.

ASK WRIT OF CERTIORARI Greene and Gaynor Appeal to Federal Supreme Court. Washington, Nov. 2,.—A petition for a writ of certiorarl in the famous case agalnst Benjamin D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, in which they have been convicted of embezzling some $600,000 from the government of the United States, has been filed in the supreme court of the United States. The case will involve some interna- tional questions because of the fact that Greene and Gaynor were arrest- ed in Canada and for some time re- sisted extradition. The question will be raised as to whether a person in- dicted in this country for a crime not included in the Canadian treaty can be tried for such crime after his sur- render by the Canadian authorities upon a demand for extradition based on other crimes. The two men are under sentence of imprisonment for four years by the United States court for the Southern district of Georgia on the double charge cf embezzlement and conspiracy, the conspiracy being alleged to have been committed In connection with Captain Oberlin M. Carter, formerly of the United States army, who has already served a term in prison on the same charge. HIS CONDITION CRITICAL.

General Strike of New York Bullding Trades May Result. New York, Nov. 2 .—A conference of importance to the 60,000 skilled mechanics in the building trades in this city has just been held at which the master carpenters’ organization gave mnotlce to the Brotherhood of Carpenters that after Jan. 1 their wages will be reduced from $5 to $4.50 a day. Because of the tightness in the money market the construction of buildings has decreased 50 per cent and this the master carpenters gave as a reason for their action. The question has been referred to an arbitration board provided for by agreement between the employers and the men, but representatives of the latter have declared that they will strike rather than accept a reduction. Mechanics in the other trades are fearful that if the master carpenters are successful in reducing wages their example will be followed by employers in other trades. Fined $1,000 for Peonage. eral Judge Keller has fined David Howell, police officer for the Thacker Coal and Coke company, $1,000 and costs on the charge of conspiring to hold persons in peonage. Moorish Rebels ‘Annlhilated. " Madrid, Nov. 2:.—Dispatches from Melilla, Morocco, published here say that the Moorish rebels in that dis- trict were ambushed near Guebdanu recently and were annihilated by the. imperial troops, Charleston, W. Va, Nov, 2 —Fed- |- FRANCE MUST ALTER PLANS Whole Manual of Naval Tactics to Be Reconstructed. Paris, Nov. 2,—France's whole manual of naval tactics, including the mobilization plans and the secrat sub- marine defense scheme, will have to be reconstructed as a result of the leaking of officlal information from this country to another. M. Thomson, the minister of marine, is satisfled the confession of Enslgn Charles B. Ullmo of the French navy is incomplete and that he actually sold to a foreign power secret documents of great im- portance. Consequently the French naval plans, endangered if not made worth- less by the Information alleged to be put at the disposal of a country which is the last that should have it, will have to be altered throughout. Ensign Ullmo was arrested last month at Toulon charged with being a spy and claimed in his examination that, although he had been in com- munication with a foreign power for the sale of official documents, his offer had been rejected on the ground the papers were not of sufficient value. M. Thomson is quoted as believing, however, that papers of great impor- tance were actually slipped to aliens. The possibilities of a situation where such a “leak” has been discovered without general information as to how much news, military and naval, has escaped are grave. ADDRESS TO THE CZAR. Text of Resolution Adopted by Rus- sian Duma. St. Petersburg, Nov. 2).—The text of the address of the lower house of parliament to Emperor Nicholas is as follows: “Most graclous sire: Your impe- rial majesty has deigned to greet the members of the third duma and to in- voke the Almighty’s blessing on the legislative work before us.

Anti-Dynastic Agitation Growing. Madrid, Nov. 2)—Uncensored mail advices from Portugal indicate that the anti-dynastic agitation is growing and that a crisis “seems imminent. The Liberal says it has received con- firmation of the report of the banish- ment of the crown prince of Portugal, Louis Philippe, to the.Villa Vicosa, where one of the royal residences is situated in a forest, fifteen miles in circumference and walled in.

KNIFE FOR KAISER. Emperor William Will Submit to Op- eration in England. New York, Noy, 2 .—A London dis- patch to the Sun states that the real cause of the kaiser remaining in Eng- land after the termination of ‘his state visit to the British court is to prepare for an operation, which will take place within a few days.
