RUMOR OF DIFFERENCES ARE DISPROVED Settlement of Business of Big Corpo- ration Shows It in Worse Condi- tion Than at Corresponding 1 Time Last Year. NBEW YORK, Oct, 6.—The dividend on the | common stock of the United States Steel corpdration for the last quarter was today reduted from 1 per cent to one-half ot % per cent, thus setting at rest a matter that | has agitated' Wall sureet and financ.al cir- cles gemerally for many weeks. To quote an Attorney of high authority in the affairs | of the corporat.on, “the action of the board was unanimous and was caused a decrease of 34,162,665 for the third quarter falling off of bus.ne This last is borne | out by the financ.al statement issued short- Iy after the meeting. The statements shows A decrease’ of $,462,668 for the third quarter of the calendar year, compared with the same period Iast year and a decrease of $4,380,487 compared with the preceding quarter of this year. On October 1, 192, the corporation had unfilled orders of 4,-- 43,000 tons on hand. This year the unfilled orders on the same date amounted to 3,- | 728,42 tons. The course of steel common stock in the last few months clearly indicated that to- day's cut has been largely discounted. In fact, wagers that the dividend would be reduced were plentiful recently and there | were. predictions that it would be passed cozapletely. Nevertheless, today's action came as a surprise to many who argued that it would be impossible to make any change at this particular time. Prominent Directors Pres The importance of today's meeting which ‘was préceded by that of the finance com- mittee, was emphasized by the attendance of of the twenty-four directors, inel [P, Morgan, whose pi ar these meetings has been very rare. Al the absentees were, John D. { and &:‘m\.‘wo\m D..jr., Witllam H. Mooke | and Marshall Fleld of Chicago. The ab- sence of the Rockefellers was the subjeot of some comment because of the rumors industriously eirculated for weeks past that the, Standard Ol faction had arrayed itsel ugainst Mr. Morgan and his friends and would hold out for a reduced dividend. The agtion of the board on this point how. ever, disposed of these rumors. The ses- sion of the directors was a brief one. The printed statement of Comptroller Filbert #iven out directly after the director's meet- ing, was proof that today's action had been determined some hours in advance of the lar dividend of 1% per cent on rred stock was declared. This di- vidend is payable November 16.

INCREASE IN CANDY HABIT More Than $100,000,000 Worth Con- sumed Annually and the Demand is Rapidly Growing. Candy costs the people of these United States something more than $100,000,000 a year. For what they spend on confectionery they could bulld and equip a fleet of battle- ships. The new King Edward VII, for in® stance, of which Great Britain is inor- dinately proud, as the biggest battleship afloat, cost a little lees than $3,000,00. They | could pay the salaries of president and vice { president, and all the cabinet, of senators and representatives and supreme court | fudges, and of a small army of underlings, as well, for what they spend on sweets. If they could be Induced to swear off candy for a year and devote the money saved to public purposes they could carry out some pretty extensive and much needed public | improvements, bulld a subway or two, or & | tew tunnels or bridges. Also they would | probably save money on doctor's bills. To be sure it would be hard on the doctors and on the dentists and others of thelr flk, | who earn their livings at tne expense of the pains of humanity. Also it would be hard on thousands and tens of thousands of men and women, young men and girls, who work in the thousands and tens of thousands of candy factorfes throughout the country. But it might be a good thing for the na- tional dyspepsla, which is notorious. There is actually $100,000,000 worth of candy made and sold in the home market every vear. Practically none is exported; very little fs imported. America makes the best candy in the world. Americans abroad know that to thelr sorrow. They try in vain to buy on the Paris boulevards or in the London shops such candy as they have been accustomed to getting on Broadway or Tifth avenue, or the maln thoroughfares of ‘Washington or Philadelphla, Boston or Chi- cago, 8t. Louts, Denver or San Francisco— or any other American city of any size. New York alone makes $20,000.000 worth, or one-fifth of the natlon’s annual candy supply. . 8he has about 900 candy. factories, working, full blast, winter! summer. Pennsylvania, Musshchusetts * Ilinof, after New York, contribute largely to the yearly maputacture; 8, :0f course, the yearly comsumption. | And this $100,000, 000 does not represent any particular high water mark in candy eating. The quantity eaten is continually facreqsing, the demand I8 ‘becoming annually greater and the sup- pIy only just keeps pace with it. It is not a thing that is made when sugar perhaps is cheap, and held till the market rises. There 18 no possibility of manufacture at-one sea- 80n to meet the demands of another. Tt s partly that this country makes better candy. than ‘any of the other nations and partly that we can afford to make cheaper candy that is responsible for the abnormal development of this national sweet tooth. Sugar and syrups are lower in price than on the other side. The fmportation of for- elgn confectionery ussd to be considerable. Last year it amounted only to $75,00. And it is the native barn American who eats the most candy.—RBrooklyn Eagle. ROMANCE OF * THE PAPACY Secrets of the Vatican that Have Reached Publie Knowledge. As a rule the secrets of the Vatiean are well kept and most of the storfes that are told apropos of the new pope must be taken with a grain of salt. Now and {again, however, something of the romance of the papacy really leaks out, though |not through the cardinals. Thera was, for example, the strange case of Pope Plus IX, pretty well known a generation ago, but now almost forgotten. In his younger days, when he was Count Mastal Ferrati and a layman he met and fel! In love with Miss Foster, daughter of the Irish Protestant bishop of Kilmore, who was living in Italy with her sister, Mme. De Salls. Miss Foster favored the young count, but Mme. De Salis drove the lover away. Afterward she relented, the count returned and the wedding day was fixed, On the appointed day the bride and her friends were at the church, but no bride- | Broom appeared and Count Mastal Ferrati | Was never seea agaln. Years afterward Miss Foster went to seo Pope Plus IX, and was astonished to recognize in the Pontift her oid flame the count. The most sensational novellst could not have invented a plot more fascinating the real story of Pope Leo's predecessor Mme. De Salis had made an unhappy mar- riage with an Itallan, and her parents fearing a similar fate for the younger daughter, made her promise to guard Miss Foster against & union with a forelgner; hence her interference to separate the lovers;iit was only when her sister pined away that Mme. De Balis relented. The disappearance of the count has quite a flavor of Dumas about it. Unknown to his flance he was bound to the Jesults, and his superiors in the order pre-emptorily sent him away on a mission to prevent his mar- irlage with an Englishwomar, and a Prot- estant. Letters were intercepted and he es led to belleve that she had married nother, so he took orders and rapidly rose to be bishop, then cardinal aud eventually pope. Then in the hight of his grandeur he was brought for a moment face to face with the woman he had loved and lost. Nothing more dramatic has ever been staged.—Detrolt Free Pres Not & Common Thief. The change against I bar was embezzlement It was alleged in the indictment that he had “maliciously and feloniously appro- priated) and embeszied, for his own use, the sum of $560,000. “What say you?' he was asked. you gullty or not gullty? “The amount involved,” haughtily re. sponded the prisoner, “is a sufficient an- ewer to that question.

DEVONSHIRE'S DEFECTION 1S SERIOUS Resignation Disarranges Plans of Government that Might Other- wise Have Met General with More Approval. LONDON, Oct. 6.—There is practically but one opinion of the reconstrueted British cabinet, and that is that Premier Balfour missed his opportunity to rehabilitate the character of his government, and that so far as the unfonist policy at large is con- cerned, the ministry has lost most of its prestige and authority. Th estimate of what i already com- monly designated as the “transitional cab- Inet” seems largely due to chaos arising from the unexpected defection of the duke of Devonshire (lord president of the council and ervative leader of House of Lords, whose resignation w expectedly made publie yester the notable cxception of the colonial taryship, the premier has reconstruct cabinet in a manner closely agreelng w! public opinfon. Austen Chamberlain, Mr. drick and Mr. Arnold-Foster were all some time ago ’:\uslmn»d with more or less approval to the | posts to which they have been appointed. the ot that a large rent in the party has been caused by the resignation of the duke of Devonshire, the chief author of the liberal-unionist party, and this was amply recognized by Mr. Balfour's letter, acknowledging the recelpt of his resigna- tion. The duke's action, however, seems have aroused the same fighting spirit Mr. Balfour, which enabled hfm to triumph over difficulties in the when the whole of Ireland was In arms against him, And there are not lacking those who foretell that he will agaln come out on top and pre- vent the collapse of his government. The gencral consensus of opinfon hardly expects the government to remain in power, even for a single session, and all the political parties are preparing for an early dissolu- tion of Parllament. It was rumored today that the marquis of Londonderry, president of the Board of Education, may follow the duke of Devon- shire into retirement. The new colonial secretary, Alfred Lyt- tleton, has made only one pronouncement on the fiscal question, On that occasion he defended Mr. Chamberlain’s action fn | launching the discussion, but contended that the poor man's budget must not be weighted and sald he would be especlally sorry to add to the food bill. to After Porter's Antiseptic Healing Oil I8 ap. plied.

Have you ever considered why Canada takes ‘a much.larger amount per head of British manufactures than the United Stites? Australla thrice as much as Canada, and South Africa more than Aus- tralla. These are all protective countries, 1 see that some of our labor leaders are persuading the workmen to maintain the system of free imports. 1 undertake to say that not one of them could visit the colonles for six months without singing a different tune. The vast majority of the workmen in the colonies are protectionists and 1 am disinclined to accept the easy explanation that they are all fools, 1 fail to understand why & man who Is intelli- gent here becomes an idiot when he goes 10 Australia. He does, however, get rid of a number of Old World prejudices and superstitions, Now what is the history of protection? First, there is tariff and no Industries. Then gradually primary Industries for which the country has natural facilities grow up behind the tariff wall. Then, sec- ondary industries spring up; first of neces- saries, then of luxurics, until at last all the ground iIs covered, The countries to which 1 have referred are in different stages of the protective rocess. In the United States the process s completed. It produces everything and excludes everything. There is no t e to be done with It for a paltry 6 shillings per head. To Keep Colonial Trade.

If we are to lose the colonies as we lost our | fore!gn trade, we have ariived at the part- ing of the ways. If the opportunity is not sefzed now it will not recur. Canada will fall to the level of the United States, Aus- trailia -to the level of Canada and South Africa to the ralfa_and would be the beginning of a general decline which weuld rob us of our most important trade. Mr. Chamberlafn sald he belleved that the colonfes “are prepared to meet us in re- turn for a very moderate preference. They would resolve to us the trade we already enjoy and would also arranfe their tariffs in the future in' order not to start com- petition with those already In existence in the mother country and not only would they enable us to retain our trade with them but they would give us preference on all trade done with them by our forelgn competitors.” The colonial trade thus secured, sald the spieaker, would be sufficient to afford em- ployment to 615,000 Workmen at 30 shillings per week, and calculating thelr families to glve subsistence fo, 3,075,000 persons. That had been called a squalid argument, there- fore he appealed to the higher ground that great responsibilities. He had spoken with many colonists who believed that the pres- ent colonial relations could not be perma- nent. They must either be drawn closer to- gether or they would drift apart—an opin- fon shared by Lord Roseberry, a states- man whose Instincts were alweys right though his acts often lagged behind his in- stincts. \ H belleved that it was only by a com- merclal unlon and reciprocal preference that they could lay the foundations of a tederation of the empire to which they all looked as a bril'tant possibility. He wished to repeat explicitly that manufactories. It was evident if they wanted to prevent sep- aration there must be a preferential tax on food. That was the great cry of his op- ponents and it was true but only half the truth, because those opponents forget to add his explanation that nothing he pro- posed would add one farthing to the cost of living of any working man, or of any family in the country. Here is the Pla With regard to his plan he would state it briefly. He proposed to put a low duty, not exceeding two shillings (48 cents) a quarter on foreign corn, but none on corn from the British possessions; he proposed no tax on maize, partly because it formed the food of some of the very poorest among the population and partly because it was raw material as feeding stuff. He pro- posed a corresponding tax on flour and he would give speclal preference to the miller with the object of re-establishing one of our anclent industries and of preventing a rush from the country to the town, and also of placing corn, offal and feeding stuffs more cheaply within the possession of the tarmer. A small tax of about five per cent on for- elgn meat and dairy produce would be im- | posed including bacon, which was the food of so many of the poorest people. Lastly he proposed to give a substantial prefer- ence to the colonles on wines and fruits. Agaln this increases he proposed some great remissions. He proposed to take off three-quarters of the duty on tea, half the dity on sugar, with corresponding reduc- tions upon cocoa and coffee. The net re- sult of these impositions and remissions would be that the artisians' food would, ac- cording to the most elaborate calculations, cost him two pence half penny (5 cents) Jess per week than it did at present, while that of the agricultural laborer would cost him two pence (4 cents) less, but if as he belleved a great part of the tax on food would be paid by the foreigner there would be a reduction in the cost of food both for artisan and the agricultural laborer, Chamberlain Is Hopeful. BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct. 6.—Joseph Chamberlain set out from kere on his fiscal campalgn amid every demonstration of | good-will of his fellow-townsmen. Hun- dreds gathered at the station and cheered that he was a “jolly good fellow” and shouted “Good Joey" and the “Country's savior.” Vain appeals were made for a speech, but the or ly expressed opinion that could be ted from the former secretary of the colonies was in reply to congratulations on the appointment of his son, Austen, as chancellor of the exchequer, when Mr Chamberiain admitted that there were a “Jot of difficulties before the party,” but he thought they would “get through with them all right.” Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. Endicott, her mother, Miss Chamberlain and Austen Chamberlein accompanied the former secre- tary.

Baron von Rosen, the Russlan minister to Japan, has retuined here from a com- ference with Viceroy Alleff at Port Ar- thur, and had a short conference with Baron Komuru, the Japanese foreign min ister, on October 4. Baron Komuru has since given out a hopeful interview, but the Japanese ministers for war and navy thereafter had a long conference with the cmperor, Marquis Ito, president of the privy council, and Viscount Katsu, the pre- | mier, indicating that preparations are going on to meet any eventuality. The flect and the army are both, without question, in readiness and large supplies for both the army and navy have been accumulated. The arsenals have been quietly at work for a long time past and the defences have been minutely inspected. Popular Feeling Aggravated. Popular feeling in Japan is exasperated at Russia’s diatory tactics and excitement | has been aggravated by the sensational | press, which is constantly circulating ru- | mors of fresh Russlan aggressions.
