The shot had passed harmlessly over

eager to avengc the trcachcry which

placed his man on his side of the

there would be another substantial de-
crease in the bank reserves tomorrow.
The market displayed feverlshness as
the contcnding interests succeeded in
either lifting or depressing prices and.
then dealings contracted with some
what professional appearance to the af-
ternoon's trading. Tobacco made Il
maximum rise OF 6 points on the rumor
that a large operator was still short and
refused TO cover. and the circulation OF
stories as to the companS's earning
power. Subsequently the price ran on
and closed at a net gain Of &c. There
were some very violent advances among
the local specialties. the extreme rise in
the case of Third Avenue being Il. Con-
soliduted Gas 12ts. Brooklyn Union Gas
Sia and points in Metropolitan. The
advance In the gas stocks was In expec-
tation Of securing the passage Of the
law allowing the convenient mnnufac-
ture OF gas In contiguous territory
which would permit the disposal of val
liable New York real estate. Tho rise In
Third Avenue was said to be on the dis
covery OF an unsupported short interest
existing. The highly favorable condi-
ton reported In the iron and steel In
dustries and intimations that the rela-
lions Of the leading interests would be
closer.,lcd to an extreme advance of 5is
per cent In American Steel with which
Federal Steel sympathized TO the. extent
OF 37a per cent, Its extreme rise. Ameri-
can Tin and New York Air Brake rose
5 points at jump. Sugar was some
what weak Mt one time on the continu-
ance OF dividend rumors and Interna-
tional Paper shares receded II preceding
the declaration Of dividends of 1h per
cent on the preferred and ! per cent on
the common. The selling Of the active
list began with heavy realizing In Bur-
lington and Sugar.
The feature of to-day's bond trading
was the active inquiry for San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass AZ, which improved
points. The general market was very
irregular with weakness and strength
developing In many issues. Total sales
$4,000, 900.

Washington Post: In closing one Of
his recent speeches in Nebraska, Mf.
Bryan said: Republicans, propose the
establishment Of republic in the orl.
ent. You propose the establishment OF
an empire In the United States. Which
will you have? You Will have to
choose"
Il suits Mr.. Bryan's present purpose
to assume that there is great funda-
mental difference between his and the
Republican party's policy in relation to
the Philippines. The truth Is, however
that no Republican policy has yet been
formulated beyond that OF suppressing
the instruction and establishing a tenn"
porary government. The future OF the
Philippines and our relations to them
must be determined by Congress. Ine
President has never lntimnted an In
tent or desire to deprive the legislative
department Of any portion OF Its au-
thority, duty and responsibility in the
premises.
We do not understand that the whlrl-
igIg OF time has whlrled Mr.. Bryan
away from his proposition Of protect
crate, He has not Joined the Atkinson
fans in denying our rlghtful possession
of the sovereignty Of the Philippines
archipelago and demanding that we
make an unconditional surrender. He
recognizes that by the treaty. whose
confirmation he advocated, we have as
sumed responsibilities in that quarter.
AS we understand him, he is In favor
of the establishment Of Philippine re-
public under our protection. He knows,
OF course, that as preliminary to en-
terlng on this plan, we must put down
the Tagal insurrectIon. He knows, too.
that this nation. II 1t undertook to set
up a republic, would be bound to give
the people fair chance to frame
constitution and to elect officers. He
does not know, nor does anybody else
know, that the various races and tribes
would care to be under one and the
same government. He probably knows,
as does everybody else, that the Sulus
could not be included In his scheme for
a republic. But he does not know, FOR
it is far beyond the boundaries OF hui
man knowledge that when peace has
been secured. the Republicans Will not
