The times., 1899-12-05

The fear Of tight money this month is
based on a very slim foundation. The
banks last week feared it so little that they
increased their loans 50 000 0G0. Others
fear It so little that there has been no
rush To sell bonds TO the Government.
There Is stii several million dollars that
may be obtained from the Government be-
fore the end of the month if the holders
OF bonds desire it, and ii seems probable
that the SO 0G0 J0O OF bonds asked for by
by the Secretary Of the Treasury viii all be

two weeks from now than they are at the
present time. The country, meanwhile, is
quite as prosperous as il was a week ago
and the value OF securities quite as great.
There were few exceptions to the gen
eral downward tendency Of the market

had been expected. made a spurt, reach
ing 49 IA before l. o'clock. This was
gain of three points from the low price
of Saturday, and the recent average level.
The decline was to a "a, which was still
a fractional net gain for the day. The
talk of the probability that the subsidy
bin wlil be taken up shortly by Congress
and the confident predictions by its friends
that it viii become a law early in the ses-
sion are sufficient explanation Of he
buoyancy of the stock, not TO mention the
general bullishness regarding the stock
and its known intrinsic merits. 1t might
be suggested at this point that there was
nothing in the Addyton pipe case decis-
ion TO make the passage OF the subsidy
pill any the less probable.
Representative Payne yesterday intro
duced his subsidy bill again, and he is re-
ported TO have said that It will be pushed
Immediately.
The advance in Federal Steel common
was also expected for the very sufficient
reasons pointed out heretofore The COM
pany is one OF the most prosperous in the
country lis mines, its finances its mills
and its railways are all piliug up enormous
profits. Better than that, as President
Gary recently stated, there is the certainty
that this prosperity will continue. The
company IS earning big dividends for its
stockholders, and there is 10 good reason
why the stocks should sell at their present
low price. The sentimental fear of such
Industrial concerns is certain to disappear
in time under the influence of dividends
and definite statements of earnings. The
same good business Judgment that makes
business men invest in prosperous concerns
elsewhere viii prevail in time. In the case
Of the Federal Steel Company the an
nouncament of a generous dividend on the
common stock at the end Of the year seems
likely TO be the lever.

a careful consideration OF these "aTgu-
ments, " however, docs not reveal anything
a which the holders of securities need be
frightened. There are many in fact that
describe them all as either untruthful or
trivial. As has been pointed out In this
column heretofore several times there is
a radical and essential difference between
the Addyston pipe crowd and the organized
companies like Federal Steel. It is the
same difference that there is between a
combination Of Independent railway sys-
TENS 10 keep up rates and company like
the New York Central, composed OF what
were once Independent companies but
have now been bought in and absorbed.
The Addvston crowd is a number OF com
p3nies with an agreement between them
that much iron pipe shall be sold, and
that ii shall be sold for such a price. II
Is trust pure and simple, according TO
the Sherman law. The Federal Steel Com
pany is an organized concern, a COMPETE
tor Of every other steel ard iron com
pany. The decision of the Supreme Court
has nothing in il against organized corpO-
rations. il Is virtually q decision in their
favor, because it does not attack them.
This view Of the case is taken by the COM
panies themselves, at least. and il Will
probably be taken by the street in a very
short time. Al some time in the future
a new law may be made against corpora
tions in general. but that has nothing TO
do with the present decision. As 10 the

pie as close to the President as anyone is

providing for a supervision Of such corpora
uons, bur even this is considered extremely
improbable by many. II may be suggest
ed here. however, that such concerns as the
Federal Steel Company, the National Steel
Company, and others would be benefited
by such legislation, which would protect
them against The formation Of oyercapi-
talized and otherwise weak and illegiti-

and talk OF an antitrust message from
the President being the bear factors. The
close was at the bottom quotations for the
day in nearly the entire list, with declines
ranging from a point or so in the railway
securities TO three points in Sugar. The
technical cause OF the decline was heavy
selling by the bears, who seemed to believe
that bad break could be engineered, and
by holders Of long stock to realize profits
The railway list was supported by the in
siders around . o'clock, and although there
was no recovery of prices the decline eX-
tended no further The outlook must
necessarily be largely in doubt, it would
seem. until the Presidents message is pub
lished, but there would be little surprise
in the street if the opening today and
early market should be continuance of
the decline. Should the message be less
severe on The trusts than was rumored
yesterday il is thought that there viii be
sharp recovery. On any further break this
morning there viii be good buying by in
siders. and the best advice obtaiRable last
night was 10 follow this course.
The selling Of stocks yesterday was ac-
companied By pessimislic predictions that
the end OF the bull movement has come
and that there is now TO be a large break
IN prices extending all through December.
The arguments of the bears NAV be recited
briefly. The trusts are doomed and their
securities are destined 10 sell of many
points because Of the Addyston pipe de
cision and because the message Will sound

corporations. The coal lines viii be Obliged

HORACE KENDALL DEAD
Well Known Business Man
Dies After a Short
Illness.

Horace Kendall, one of the oldest
furniture dealers and auctioneers in
the vicinity of Worcester, died at 1.20
o'clock this morning after an illness ex-
tending from Sunday. Mr.. Kendall
has been in feeble health since he sus-
tanned a fall at the metropolitan water
basin, while serving as an appraiser of
land in January, 1896, and since then
he, has been growing weaker SO that
in his last illness he had not sufficient
strength to fight. off death.
Mr.. Kendall was born in Boylston,
Aug. IS, 1927, and was married three
times. His first wife was Sarah A
Maynard, and after her death he mar
ried Fanny B. Buck, who lived short
time after marriage, when Mr. Kendall
welded Hattie s. Hagen, who survives
him. He is also survived by three
sons, Charles D., Sanford e., alderman
from ward > and Frederick H.
Mr. Kendall moved to Worcester in
1871 from his native town. In Boylston
he was prominent in town affairs, and
represented its citizens in many Of
noes, gong as lnelf representative TO
the Legislature in 1862. For IL years he
was superintendent of the John B.
Cough farm, and accompanied the great
temperance orator on many of his tours
Before coming to Worcester, and since
he has been a resident of this city, Mr..
Kendall was engaged in the auctioneer
business, his experience in the business
extending over a period of AZ years.
The funeral will probably be held
Monday from Union church, where Mr..
Kendall attended

CRIME IN THE SULUS.
The "AabituaI Criminal" Gets Swift
and Terrible Punishment.

The "Habitual Criminal Gets Swift
and Terrible Punishment.
Crimes among the Moros are punish
able according to fixed penalties in
most cases. but occasionally the Dat
to, if he happens to be in an unpleasant
humor, varies the punishment a bit.
Murder is punishable by a fine of $1O5
Mexican money. Horse stealing and
cattle stealing are punished severely.
Other forms of stealing are punished
according to the previous record of the
criminal. If his record is bad he
comes under the classification of "ha-
bitual criminal" and the probability is
that his wife will have a chance to mar
ry again in four months and four days.
A case happened a week before l ar
rived in Jolo which illustrated how an
habitual robber fored The Datto
Jokanine is a man of some wealth,
which he keeps buried beneath his
house. Frequently he has occasion to
send to various parts of his domain
for money as tribute, and at these times
he has always sent one of his trusted
followers.
One day some time ago this man was
sent to bring the Datto a certain sum
of money. but when the bag was hand
ed to the patto the trusted follower
flung himself on his knees and confess
ed that he had lost part of it in gamb-
ling. He kissed the Datto's hands and
implored forgiveness and promised new
er to do so again, and said that he was
overwhelmed with grief and humilia-
ton, etc.
The Datto forgave him, but told him
never to let it happen again, for if it
did the punishment would be, swift
and terrible.
Well, it happened again on the very
next trip on which the trusted follow
er was sent for money Once more
there were lamentations and appeals
and VOWS of eternal reformation.
Didn't l tell you that l would punish
you severely the next time this hap
pened?'' said the Datto. Didn't 1
warn you that you would be killed?
What do you mean?" etc, etc, thun-
dered the Datto as he glared at the
penitent bootlick at his feet.
20 most gracious prince, sun of suns,
king of the universe" etc, etc, walled
the hapless subject as he squirmed and
cringed beneath the Datto's lowering
with the scales wavering throughout it
all, but in the end the Datto said he'd
give him another chance.
And now comes the part of the story
which illustrates how great are the fas-
cinations of gambling. When the trust
ed follower went again for money for
his master he looked in on a little game,
and, forgetful of his dire experiences
in the past, he plunged sufficiently long
to tighten his load of 'dobe dollars.
Instead of running away he went
back to the Datto and confessed to his
shortage.
This time there was no argument on
either size. The Datto turned to one
of his guards and ordered him to slay
the trusted follower He then asked
if the victim wished to be blindfolded
or had any short remarks to make. AS
the latter saw no necessity for the one
and no use in the other, he said some
thing to the effect of never mind the
guard" An instant later a barong sunk
into his stomach, almost bisecting him
and the punishment was over.-Chicago

SEELEE HAS CORRALED TANNETT.

Vice President Frank q. Selee Of the
Worcesters has corraled a crack third
baseman. He is Tannett,- who played
with the Rome team of the New York
state league last season. Selee drafted
him as manager of the Bostons, and, of
course, T2nnett belongs to Boston. But
the probability is that he was drafted
for Worcester, for with the incompar-
able Jimmy Collins to cover the third
sack on the south end grounds, Boston
has no need of a player like Tannett,
good as the latter undoubtedly is,
He is a smashing fielder, but weak
with the stick. He is regarded as one of
the finest fielders of the minor leagues.
Tommy Leach, the find of last season,
who played on the Worcesters for a few
days, was with Tannett a year ago in
the New York state league, being on the
Auburn team, and he wasn't considered
as good a player as Tannett. He could
