ANxIoUs ron CONCESSIONS.

There are wealthy individuals and syndi-
Gates that are extremely anxious 70 get
concessions Of various kinds in both Cuba
and Porto Rico. In fact. no sooner had
peace between this country and Spain been
declared than applications for franchises
ia those islands We're made.
They are all disappointed. however, be
c1use no concessions Of any kind are 10
be granted until Congress provides for the
future OF the islands. aud only then upon
such terms as Congress may consider od-
vls1hie.
Neither the President nor the Secretary
~ War nor anybody else has authority to
grant concessions in Cuba. because Con-
-ress expressly provided i'm the army bill
that the United States shouldn't grant
chem ana the President has decided chat
none SHALL DE granted in Porto Rico until
Congress iesisiates in respect to the mat
SER He has the right 10 grant them in
tnar island. but he assumes that Congress
i-teuded that none should be granted until
Q had time 10 inquire into the conditions
prevailing there aud to determine what
The best interests of the Porto Ricans de-
mluded.
The President could make concessions In
Porto Rico which would be very valuable
and there is no doubt that he has been
urged by his political friends to do So
but ID is evident that he is pursuing the
right course in the matter. The Porto
Ricans themselves should have the first
chance at whatever concessions there are.
If they lack The enterprise 10 take them.
then it VIII be the duty of our government
to see that the concessions are accom-
panied by such restrictions that the inter
ests of the people of Porto Rico viii not
suffer
Capital doesn't seem to be flowing into
either cuba or Porto Rico very freely at
this time, and probably it will not until
it is clearly determined what sort of gov
eminent the islands are 10 have. AS soon
as liberal and stable governments are as
sured both islands will have a great inflow
Of both immigrants and capital Very few
immigrants win go TO Porto Rico TO en-
gage ia agriculture, because the island
now has about all the farmers it needs,
but they will go to the towns and viii es-
tablish businesses and industries. Cuba,
on the other hand, will have large immi-
grafton of people intending to engage in
all sorts OF enterprises. Time Will estab-
fish the wisdom of the policy of not giving
away the valuable franchises of the is
lands until their people are ready to make
known their wishes in respect to them.

Yellow fever serum, of the kind recently
used by DR.. Doty of New York on Mr..
Lackey, is a horse product. A horse is
inoculated with yellow fever germs. After
about a year the blood is drawn from the
horse. aud it is dilution of this blood
that is injected into The human veins One
healthy horse, it is said, will yield enough
serum TO inoculate fifty patients. The OPP
Grafton is said TO cause but little neon
venience to the horse. Should the Sc
rum prove a success we shall, after all,
have some use for the horse when he has
ceased TO drag our carriages and drays
around.

Gen. Wheeler said in Chicago the other
day that he would not resign his seat in
the House Of Representatives.: that he
expected 10 be home from the Philippines
by December and resume his place in
the House. The rainy season in the Phil
ippines viii not end until the first of De-
cember, and it is not likely that there
will be a great deal Of fighting until that
time. These facts have suggested TO some
OF our contemporaries that Gen Wheeler
has been sent TO the islands on a special
errand by the President.

The man in the chair made no answer

| Fine weather" he said.
The man in the chair opened his eyes

The barber felt encouraged.

The barber stopped shaving.

There was another painful silence, and
then he began again.
Usually shave yourself don't you?"

Il can tel by the cut of the hair over

pretty late last night. weren't you?'
The man smiled and nodded.

There was silence again and the man
kept his eyes fixed upon a huge bunch of
wild violets in the window
You are fond of the country, aren't

more a statement than a question, and
the man looked IN in surprise.

solved that it was proper to pray for

The Nashville American Dem) says:

about ten times as much as was paid by

TO be $2,19OO0o. 1t is safe to say that tho

STOCK AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE stock MAJ

of the day was rather fiat and dispiritcd
in spite of aggressive strength by Il few
prominent stocks and notable advances
by a number of rather obscure stocks
The profit taking was especially nc icea-
bile i'm Southern Pacific and Union Pacific

price for the greater part of the day.
The buying in both of them was never
tlleless on very large scale, blocks Of
1000 shares and upwards of Union Pa
cific, making their appearance frequently
in the record. THE most conspicuous
movement of the day was in the Ralti-
more and Ohio stocks, the preferred lead
ing. It's extreme advance was rs the
closing being nearly at the top. The
common stock added IA TO its price for
the day.
The various metal stocks had period
of strength. Otherwise the market was
rather irregular and disposed to reacrion
until late rally which wiped out mar,
previous losses. The Changers were
conspicuous in the late movement. led
by Burlington, which rallied an extreme

were advances in the Buffalo, Rochester

States Milling preferred fell an addition
al three, making 2S1a for two days, and
Mailing preferred lost 313 The hesitate
ing tone of the market was due to a
recllrrent anxiety over the showing to be
made by tom0rrow's bank statement
This was accentuated by late stiffenlns
of the call loan rate to 8 per cent on Il
demand from belated borrowers to carry
over until Monday. The earlier rate
had been per cent and fell as low as D

tions to midday did not exceed five points,

called active The cables were regarded
as fair, and the news from the cotton
belt was rather bullish. The CHIEF OBJ
stacle in the way of vigorous speculation
seemed to be uncertainty as to the crop

market developed considerable streng II
and speculative enthusiasm was aroused
by report from New Orleans that the
total amount brought into sight for the
week reached but 3S5,000 bales or 40,
600 less than predicted. Shorts sought
cover, and prices Were soon up ten points
from the lowest, with bullish sentiment
once more holding supremacy. Wan
Street furnished fair buying orders, and
the South purchased the spring and sum-
mer months ON a fairly liberal scale.
Other weekly establishments of statistics
proved almost equally bullish. Al the
close the market was steady at a net
advance of two to eight points.
