AUTUMN WRAPS


On the subject Of autumn modes q
word may be said in regard to wraps;
the spring and summer wraps have
prepared us for q decided change in
the form Of capes, but those Of the
autumn promise to be even more radi-
cal. A smart model Of black satin
faced cloth reaches half way to the
knees and is cut tight over the shoul-
ders. but to Hare considerably toward
the bottom. The cape suggests series
Of circles; the high collar il cut with
rounded edges. and the revers end in
a round in place of point. These
revers slope away to rounded corner
at the bottom of the cape. There II
some braid embroidery outlining the
seams Of the wrap. and the collar and
revers are faced with black and white
silk cut on the bias.
Fashionable adjuncts to these long
wraps are the long scarfs Of lace or
fancy net; these fasten In q butterfly
under the chin. and the trimmed enda
are as long as the garment. Some q

MERRITT rINrERTIEwED IN LONDON
Pleased at Result ot Election Premier
 Snltshury's Speech,

London, Nov. 10.--Major General Wes- ley Merritt, the commander of the American military forces in the Philip pines, who is now in this city, in an in- terview on the result of the elections in the United States is quoted as saying: T am very glad that the presidents policy seems to have been endorsed. Although I am a democrat, I think it highly desirable that there should be a congress that will ratify and carry into effect the result of the war and the peace treaty."
 Referring to the Marquis or Salis- bury's speech, General Merritt said: we should keep the Philippins Islands. l don't know whether Great Britain is cooling towards us or not, but all the officials I have met, some of them being in very high places, seem enthusiastic over the friendship between the two countries. We have a fine trade with North China, which could be strength ened by coaling stations and headquar- ters in the east without interfering with British interests. I do not think it is true, as the Russian papers say, that the Pacific will become an American lake, but one thing is certain about the Philippine Islands, and that is we must either take them all or drop them altogether"

WILL OF LATE DAVID 4. WELLS.
Presented for PrObate-An Estate of
 from $2OO,OOO to $4OO, O,OOO.

Norwich, Nov. 10.-The will of the late David A. Wells, the noted econo- mist, was presented for probate to-day and according to his bequests his inter- est in economic matters was greatly in evidence. 1t is variously estimated that his estate is valued from $2oO coo to $400,000. The will was drawn No Vember 23, 1897, and according to it's provisions his widow and his son, Dwight Wells, have a life use of the property. On the death of his widow the entire property reverts to his son and should he have issue on his death they get the estate absolute. How ever, if there are no children living at his decease, the sons widow will be endowed with one-third interest in the property and the remaining will be d- vided by giving Charles Nordhoff, the noted German journalist, $10,O0O; Warrington c. Ford, an assis ant li- brarian of the Boston public library, $6,000, and George Hes, 5000. His library he bequeathes to the public li- brary of the city of Springfield
 The remainder of his estate is to be divided into three parts. The library of the city of Springfield Mass, is to re- oeive one-third of the residue of the estate and one-half of the income from this source is to be devoted to an n- come for the purchase of books on eco- homie subjects and will be the nucleus of a collection to be known as '"The David A. Wells Economic Library" The second and third parts are willed to the incorporators of Williams col- lege and Harvard university and from the income each college is to offer an annual prize of $500 to be competed for by any senior on list of subjects pre- pared by the deceased on economic sub jects. The prize is to be paid in god or any other metal at the option of the recipient. The prize is to ke known as the David A. Wells prize. Then, too, a part of the fund is reserved for the publication of the prize winning theses. David Dwight Wells, his son, and Ar thur H. Brewer of Norwich are the ex- ecutors of the will.

The First Meeting i'm Con-
 stderntion Of ReciprocitY.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The anglo- American joint high commission began it's sessions here to-day, having ad- journed it's last session at Quebec to Lord Herschel, former lord chancellor of Great Britain; Sir Richard Cart wright, Sir James s. Winters and John Charlton, M. F., were present repre- senting Great Britain and Canada. The members of the commission present were Senators Fairbanks and Faulk- ner Representative Dingley of Maine, ex.Secretary John w. Foster and John A. Kasson. The ahsentees to-day were Sir Wilfred Laurier. Sir Louis Davies and T. J. Coolidge of Massachusetts. The preliminary gathering to-day was in the diplomatic room of the state de- partment, where the commission was welcomed by Secretary Hay. who ac- companied the members to the white house. where they were presented to the president The business session follow ed at the commissions quarters in the Arlington hotel
 The meeting to-day was mainly for the purpose of adopting the general plan of business to be followed here. The commission did not hold an after noon session. but a committee consist ing of Lord Herschel and Richard Cart wright and Messrs. Dingley and Kas- son was in session. Owing to MT. Kas- sons official position as reciprocity commissioner and the prominence of MT. Dingley in tariff affairs it was in- ferred that this committee was work ing on the question of reciprocity. Sir Richard Cartwright has long been identified with the Canadian movement for reciprocity. The presence of Lord Herschel would insure attention to British interests in case of a reciprocity discussion, one of the main factors thus far developed in the reciprocity discus sion being as to differentials in favor of Great Britain in the present Cana dian tariff. The commission will hold daily sessions, after which the work ad- vanced to completion by the commit tees will be acted upon. The courtesies showered upon the commissioners in Quebec are to be reciprocated 'here by many social amenities.

OUAY TO RUN AGATN.
Announces His Candidacy for Re-elec-
 ton to United States Senate.


 Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-Senator Quay tonight announced his candidacy for reelection. He says: "All of my friends have been aware of my person. al antipathy to another term in the senate, but those prominent in the late crusade against the republican state. and legislative candidates chose to force the issue. They have made it imperative that I should be a candidate for reelection. The battle is accepted. The result is in the hands of the next republican legislature. Throughout the campaign just closed enormous sums of money were used to defeat re- publican candidates. I have no doubt efforts will be made to tamper with some of the members elect, but they will not be successful The attempt to purchase the United States senatorship two years ago did not succeed then nor will it succeed noW.'

When the full penalty allowed by the Swiss law was imposed upon him Luccheni laughed and cried loudly, Long live anarchy" and Death to the aristocracy!"
 A curious feature of the trial was that whenever anything was said tending to show that he had attempted to deny his guilt or to escape it's consequences he invariably interrupted openly glorify- ing over the crime, whilh he said was premeditated, adding in one instance, 'I did my utmost to make the stroke fatal" He declared that his motive was found in human suffering. My doctrine.' he frequently reiterated, lis that no one who does not work should be allowed to live" The jury was ab- sent only twenty minutes.
