NEW BRITISH OFFICIALS.

Washington, Sept Thomas t.
Moore, United States commercial agent
at Weimar, has called the attention OF
the department OF state to the fact that
the British government has taken steps
TO supplement its consular service by the
appointment OF commercial attaches. SO
far, two Of these attaches have been ap-
rointed-one at Berlin. whose field COM
prises Germany. the Netherlands and
Scandinavia, and one at Madrid, for
Spain and Portugal. The duties OF these
officials are TO relieve fNe consuls Of the
work of introducing British goods into
foreign markets, and the beginning of
this service has been noted with alarm
by England's greatest trade competitor.
Germany. where the press has already
begun an agitation looking to the re-
form OF the German consular service, to
meet Encland's action. involving a spe-
cial education and preparation of young
men foD a consular career. IL is de-
manded that the consular officers be
men commercially and technically
trained, or else that they be supplied
with specially trained assistants.
Mr.. Moore attributes this agitation in
both Grea< Britain and Germany for the
rsmodellng OF the consular service to n
perception of the excellent results at
tending the development by the United
States OF systm Of special consular re-
ports upon matters calculated 10 benefit

North Carolina r. r. Commission
Has Issued an Important Order.

Coupled with tue two and a half days
holiday and the Hebrew New Year, which
is being celebrated at home and abroad,
business on the street is naturally light.
The market is temporarily feverish and
sagging prices will be the feature. The
dividend period, now at hand, will also
influence values.
Considern ble interest is directed to the
Manhattan Elevated directors, who will
meet today to declare the dividend.
Russell Sage wants 1t at the rate of 90 per
cent. while George Gould will act soleiy
on the statement so thar a dividend Of
per cent. may reasonably be looked for.
The shot interest in Manhattan Eleva-
ted will prevent any serious decline and
on the declaration OF the dividend sup
porting orders will be issued.
IL was strongly urged to realize and
take profits On any strong spots today.
Short interest is largely eliminated. TN
any sharp breaks, however, the market
will rally again.
The advance in the rates Of discount
from to per cent. by the Reicns bank

necessity Of having a parish church socn

meeting was held. ard it was decided to
accept the generous orfes Of Mile. Antoinette
Mar:ot, a French lady of means. who would
allow the use of her home, on the Bunker
Hill road, as temporary abode for the
church.
This place has been since known as st.
Anthony's Chapel. and has been the scene
of all the Catholic cercmGniais in Brook
land, and when the new church is completed
it will lee occupied by Father Franeiscus.
and the Seminarian of the Holy Cross.
The site OF st. Anthony's is one of the
most beautiful lima aginable. II is ON the
highest point of Twelfth and Lansing
streets, and commands a view of the upper
Potomac and the most magnificent scenery
of Washington and the Soldiers Home
grounds. The building will cost between
five and six thousand dollars. II will

De Wulf Will entertain the cardinal ard
the other guests at a supper in the house
of Miss Margot.
