JINGOISM CONDEMNED.

Bishop Doane Speaks Of the Relations of
EnElssd AID America.
ALBANY, n. Y. Nov. 17.-Bishop
William Croswell Doane, in his annual
adaresss4to the clergy Of the diocese of
Albany, speaking of the relation of
America to England in the Lambeth
conference, was very intense in his con.
demnation Of what is called jingoism.
Relating to the report upon the SUBJ
ject Of international arbitration, he said
''There can be no question but thai
within the last two years, from various
causes and with some fault on both
sides, the minds of men have been ac.
customed to the thought of possible
resort to arms as the settlement of
national questions between England
and America
Same Spirit Latent in England.
Without many extreme experiences
of partisan violence, the English gov
ernment, the English people and the
English press have been most patient;
but, unless we come to recognize more
than we do the recklessness of speech,
the facility of rousing prejudices and
the danger of provoking even the most
patient strength, we may bring about a
state of things infinitely disgraceful
and infinitely dangerous to our Chris
tianity and our civilization"
Bishop Doane said that the spirit Of
hostility SO openly expressed on this
side of the water was present though
latent in England and we should be
careful how we aroused this feeling to
active hostility.
If, as has been suggested, he added,
''the old revolutionary spirit that re-
garded England as a tyrant is still kept
alive by our schoolbooks of history,
then it is time the text books were
changed

count of family troubles and they have
lived apart since that time. The man
had only been back from the East for a
short time when he went home and
beat one Of his stepdaughters. For this
he was arrested at the instigation of his
wife. He was released from Jail in a
few days and swore vengeance. He
went about Gushing saying he would
kill his wife, adding that she had been
intimate with other men. People placed
no credence in the threat. However,
he went to where his wife was living,
and upon entering the house, shot her
without warning. He then went out.

dying at once.

THE ADMINISTRATION IDEA.

Reciprocity With Canada Must Be Ne.
gotiated Upon Broad Lines.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE attitude
of the administration towards the SUBJ
ject of reciprocity with Canada is
probably disclosed in the following
statement of government official:
1.-The task of the government would
be made easier If the statesmen in con.
gress would be controlled by the inter.
ests of the country at large. Some of
them unfortunately conflne their views
to particular concession to be obtained
from foreign country for local in.
terest, and then desire our compensa-
tory concession to be made not by their
own but by some other locality. They
make Of reciprocity series of ques.
tions to be settled in the interest of
particular districts. We may be able
to secure arrangements which will add
millions to
Our National Export Trade;
and yet it might be defeated by com.
bination of few minor local interests,
not amounting to a million. Yet reci.
procity means mutual concession; with.
out this nothing can be accomplished.
We must give a market if we acquire
one-not necessarily free market, but
an accessible market. Take coal for an
illustration. BY giving access to the
New England coast, we might gain &C.
cess (perhaps control) in the coal mar
ket OIL all Central Canada, with mutual
advantages by reason Of geographical
and transport conditions. It is tho
same with other articles of commerce,
where long water transportation is bal.
anced against short railway carriage.
In some things we can acquire
An Almost Exclusive Market,
greatly increasing our exports, in ex.
change for a market open only to the
competition of the other party. Soft is
with some phases of the question of
logs and coarse Lumber against manu-.
facturers of wood. Whenever we en-.
large the market of manufactures we
inevitably enlarge the demand for our
raw material from which they are
made, and this tends to increase the
price paid to the original producer.
The advantages Of increased trade are
widely distributed. In the major por.
ton of commercial exchange this coun.
try is in the exceptional condition of
producing surplus both of raw ma.
terial and Of the manufactured prod.
ucts. Our policy must take into view
this situation, although it increases our
difficulty in negotiations which shall
satisfy every interest. All that can be
hoped for is a result WHICH, in the aggre.
gate, shall be clearly advantageous to
the nation as unit"

mixed butchers stock met more urgent
demand than for many days and sold
a point higher than at any time last

liberal. but the late strong values were
paid for all desirable lots, the best sell

Crop Conditions.

Washington, Sept. 2l.-The weather
bureau, In Its report of crop conditions
for the week ended September 20, says:
The week has been favorable for ripen-
ing and securing crops, but in the central
Mississippi and Ohio valleys, Tennessee
and over portions of the middle and
south Atlantic states II has been too
dry for following and seeding Of fall
grain.
The exceptionally warm weather OF
the first half of the month matured corn
rapidly and has placed nearly the whole
crop beyond injury from frosts. Owing
to droughty conditions IN some OF the
more important states the grain, par
ticularly the late crop, did not fill well.
and the reports indicate that much will

rapidly under favorable conditions, ami

states will be practically completed ny

Cotton has continued to open very
rapidly and picking has been vigorously
carried on.
The reports indicate that much the
greater part of the crop over the central
and eastern portions of the cotton belt
Is now open and that the bulk OF the
crop will be secured by October ID. IN
Texas the picking WINS interrupted over
the greater part of the state during the

Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The last cabi-
net meeting before the president de-
parts was held today. So far as can
be learned the Cuban situation was not
under consideration. Secretary Alger
said after the cabinet adjourned that no
steps would be taken looking to the re-
lief of the miners In the Klondike until
after navigation closes and the govern
ment learns the exact situation.
Secretary A1ger received a telegram
today expressing the opinion that the
four steamers now going UP the Yukon
carry ample provisions for all persons
now Mt Dawson City and the vicinity.
If they arrive safely. perhaps there will
be NO necessity for any relief measures.
If not, 1t is possible that MIR. Lndue's
suggestion for dog trains across the
Chilcoot pass may be adopted.

10 obvious. A sustained upward course
OF prices is almost unchecked until it has
exceeded the reasonable valuation. The
convection has been gathering strength
Tor long period that prices of stocks
were passing beyond the limit and that
f s?, was imminent. Manipulation by
financial interests is one thing that has
deferred 1t. Another thing has been the
continued plethora and cheapness of
money, inviting to continued speculation.
The natural and orderly course of things
was to be eXpected-that the expansion
OF business would absorb idle money and
make it much more expensive. Bank
statements for two weeks past have re-
hected the certainty that such a rise in
the price of money was approaching.
The marking up of call loan rates late
Yesterday and their continuance at a
high level today crystallized into certain

the demand fell below the offerings to
sell. There was spasmodic and inef-
fectua! effort shortly after the opening
on the part of the bull contingent to check
the decline, but 1t was apparently aban-
doned and the market was left to itself
till the heavy liquidation should exhaust
itself. This seemed to have come to pass
at about 2 o'clock, when the market be-
came dull at a decline ranging about
points. The cessation of heavy realizing
offers encouraged some renewed buying
and a rally extending to over point in
many shares ensued, but the market sold
off again before the close to the lowest
point of the day. There is reason to be-
ieve that the rise of the call money rate
was not entirely free from manipulation.
There were evidences of concerted action
in the marking up of the rates. 1t was
noticeable that the sharp stiffening of the
money rate did not result in fall in the
rate of exchange. as might have been
expected, and the discount rate in London
was rather easier. which was to be ex-
pected in the face of any real stringency
in our money market. There was an m
