THE EMPEROR'S ROUTE.
News That He Has Changed His Course
 Causes a Sensation,

Berlin, November 1S.-The news that En- peror William is to return by roundabout route without touching at Vienna or Ber- lin has created sensation in political cir cles, as it is interpreted as being a con- firmation of the recent indications that the relations between Germany and Austria are less friendly than they have been. His majesty's avoidance of Berlin is supposed to be due to his displeasure at the aban- donment of the projected festal reception. The authorities at Potsdam, however, are preparing to give the emperor and empress a brilliant reception on their return there

FINaNcIAT. REVIEW

New York, November 1S.-Bradstreet's financial review tomorrow will say:
 Compared with the preceding week both the stock and bond transactions in the New York stock exchange have been on small CT scale and have been divested of any ex- citement. At intervals reactionary tenden- cles have appeared refiecting the taking of profits by traders and large operators. The tone, however, was in the main strong and the public shows greater interest In securi- ties than for a long time past, there bing an excellent demand for bonds and dividend paying stocks. When concessions appeared a good buying demand asserted itself, all though there was evidence of good deal of change of speculative holdings from one part of the list to the other. There was a great deal of rregularity in American Su- gar, which, after further advance in the beginning of the week on covering of shorts, was dull and seemed inclined to re- cede.
 On the other hand, numerous advances were scored, the most prominent features being the Atchison preferred and the Balti- more and Ohio securities.

For Government ownerehip.

Without the expectation OF the
measures becoming a law Senator
Pettigrew, by request, introduced
a bill last week for the operation by
the government of the entire railway
systems of the United States, fixing
rates for passenger, sleeping-car,
freight and express traffic, and in
cidentally that of postage. 1t con
solidates the interstate commerce
commission and the %postoffice de-
partment and directs the consnli-
dated department, under the direc-
tion of the postmaster general, to
Lease or take possession OF railroads
upon six months notice, the rentals
to be on a basis of the earnings of
the respective roads for the fiscal
year, 1897.
The department is to operate the
roads so leased and the employees
are to work but eight hours q day.
Passenger, sleeping car and freight
rates fixed r greatly below those
now in force; penny postage is pro-
vided for first-class matter, and a
parcel post system replaces the
work now performed by express
companies.
