Efforts of the Bears to Cover Made More
 Active Yesterday.

New York, Oct. ss.-Specuiation at the stock exchange was more active to-day, the result Of efforts on the part of tho bears to cover short cons tracts. The opening was firm. notwith- standing the engagement of s50O,- GOO gold for shipment to Europe by the steamship Ems tomorrow. The firm shipping the gold secured 1t at the sub treasury by paying legal tenders General Electric was heavy at one time and fell to 3s'4 on llquidatlons of weak accounts. Chicago Gas. Manhat- tan and American Sugar also received the same attention from the bears who expected to check the rising tendency by raiding these issues. Chicago Gas sold down from 76la to 75, Manhattan from 109 to 106 and Sugar from STA to S6A. The hammering process had no influence on the general list, which held firm throughout.
 In the last hour the covering move- ment assumed larger proportions, es- pecially in the grangers, Chicago Gas, Missouri Pacific, Lead, Western Union, Louisville and Nashville and General Electric. St. Paul sold up 1h to 61as, Northwest X to l04S, Rock Island Y to 6oB, Burlington and Quincy 1 to 74N, Chicago Gas l to 76, Missouri Pacific & to 2S&, Lead to 40, Western Union ss to S7k, Louisville and Nashville x to 5s% and General Electric 2A to 35h.
 The strength of the market in the last hour of business was partially due to the weaker condition of the sterling exchange, bankers sixty days bills having sold as low as s4S6.5 In exceptional instances. The closing rate was s4.S6.5 and s4S6.75. Stocks closed firm and 1s to 11a per cent. higher, General Electric leading. Man hattan fell l. In the inactive stocks Bay State Gas rose IS to 2S$ and Pittsburg and Western preferred IS to 26%.
 The bond market was higher. Sales were $l.195.00O.

TARIFF .REFoRMlr

The following clippings from a spe-
cial tothe Baltimore Sun of Wednesday
indicate that the Democracy is badly
bedragged:
Senator Berry made the first mis-
take this morning npon the Democrat
ic side by calling attention to the false
ness of tie Republican assertion that
they are not fighting for delay. In
stead of producing any effect this
brought the whole aggregation of OBJ
s~tructionists upon him like a pack of
wolves. Senators Hoar, Allison.
Chandler. Aldrich and the rest, keep
ing up the pretense they have started.
piled him with questions, and made
his answers the subject of bitter COM
ment. They awaited themselves Ct
the weapons which the Democrats
have forged for them, and hurled back
Senator Berry's charges with counter
charges against the Democrats, based
upon the work of the Democratic pio-
tectionists.
1.-The Republicans exerted them
selves'aga as on yesterday chiefly to
show that the tariff bill is a protective
bill. a proposition which no one at
tempted to deny. Senator Aldrich,
claiming with apparent business that
the bill, if passed with the income tax.
the sugar tax. and the increased whis-
ky tax included, would produce a sur
plus OF 500, 600, 900, pointed out the
apparent absuridty OF the conservative,
assertion that all the changes made
since the bill came from the House of
Representatives have been for the pur-
pose of provi ling the Government
with sufficient revenue.
when the vote was taken on the
pig-iron paragraph the extraordinary
spectacle was presented of a compar-
atively solid combined Democratic and
Republican vote in favor of the in
crease to a protective standard.
Messrs. Mills, Berry. Black, Jarvis,
Lindsay. Pasco, and Palmer were the
only Democrats who voted in the neg
alive with three of the Populists.
The conservative" vote added to the
Republican vote would have made a
majority, and this suggests the peril
nent query whether it would
not have been more manly for the
straight Democrats to record them
selves in the negative.
ut IS really very remarkable to see
how lamb-like the Democrats are I'M
der the irritating taunts and insinua-
lions thrust necessarily at them from
the Republican side for weeks and
weeks past"
In this connection we wish to also
quote from the Democratic platform
of 1899. as follows:
1--WE declare it to be a fundamental
principle of the Democratic party that
the Federal Government has no con-
stitutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties, except sor the purpose of
revenue only"

The Queens Name.

The following extract from Charles
Greville's Diary under date Dec. "a,
1919, and therefore when Princess
now Queen-Victoria was exactly z
months old. bears upon the point raised:
The Duke of Kent gave the name of
Alexandria to his daughter in COM
pliment to the emperor of Russia.
She was to have had the name of Georg-
lana, but the duke insisted upon Alex
andrina being her first name. The re-
gent sent for Lieyen. the Russian en-
bassador, and made him a great many
compliments-en lie persifant-on the
emperor being godfather, but inform
ed him that the name of Georgiana
could be second to no other in this coun-
try, and therefore she could not bear it
at all"
It was accordingly as Alexandria
Victoria that the infant princess was
baptized on june %, 1s19.--Notes and

This, we think. gentlemen. Is a
very creditabie showing indeed. and
the council has just cause to eongrat-
ulate itself upon the good manage
ment gifts officers and the vervfourisli-
ing condition Of the corporation affairs
at the present time, considering the
stringency Of the times. Our orders
have all been promptly honored upon
presentation. either at the National
Bank or upon the Sergeant or Treas
urer OF the Corporation, the interest
on the bonded debt paid and 5000 Of
the public debt paid Of.
Our bonded Indebtedness is now
$50, 100, and If possible to get hold Of
them. we would very respectfully rec
omrend TO your honorable body, that
at least $1,000 more Of the bonds be
taken up; however, we doubt If Tie
Treasurer will be able to carry out
this order if passed by your honorable
body, from the fact that all the bond
holders regard the investment a coed
one and do not care about d~isposine
Of their holdings.
We sincerely hope, gentlemen. that
the incoming Council will make as
gool, if not a better showing.
