THE BEST IN THE ORIENT.
Judge Tafts Estimate of the Value and Possibilities of the
 Philippine Islands.

Cincinnati, Nov. 2s.--In a private letter just received here, Judge Taft. president of the Philippine com- mission, speaking of the resources and needs of those islands, he says:
 With these islands completely paci- fled, they are far and away. the best possessions in the orient for purposes of trade and development. Their eli mate is better than the climate of any other tropical country of which 1 know, and the capacity for agri- cultural, mineral and commercial de- velopment would seem to be unlimit- ed. Even with the unsettled condition of the country, as it is, the tonnage of the vessels coming into the harbor of Manila, excluding the government transports, is double what it ever was in Spanish times, and the same thing is true of the inter-island tonnage. With the construction of roads and railroads through the islands the op- portunities for development can not be exaggerated. One of the things that is needed here is the introduc. tion of American business methods. The establishment of two or three large American businecc houses here (retail and wholesale) would do won- ders for the business standards of these islands,

NOVEMBER CORN CORNER.
The November Corn Shorts Are En- gineering Scheme to Hit
 Back at Phillips.
DELIVERY DAY WILL TELL THE STORY.
ing Around the Fifty Cent Notch Phillips says the Price VIII Go No Higher than the short Side Puts It.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-If operations started by November corn shorts prove successful, George II. Philips, the young speculator. who apparently completely controls that option, may be forced to accept many more thou sands of contract corn on delivery day than has seemed probable. and the success of the corner in that degree modified. 1t was stated, on the best of authority, that large quantities of standard No. 2 corn, which for the most part was shipped east by James A. Patton, during his September and October operations, are being loaded into cars at Buffalo, and even so far east as Montreal, and will be shipped back to Chicago as fast as the corn can be hauled. This corn. it is stat ed, has been rebought by Chicago shorts, who figure on getting it here by Friday, in time for delivery to Phillips ,n this months contracts. What was paid for that grain is un- known, hut it is believed that the purchasers will suffer losses on the contracts, even if the corn arrives in time for delivery.

Police of Hoboken, N J., Informed of the Existence of a Plot
 to Kill Mckinley.

New York, Nov. 2s.-The police of Hoboken, x. J., have received letter alleging the existence of plot to as- sassinate President Mckinley. lhe writer of the letter gave, in his com munication, the name of the alleged chief conspirator, which the police refuse to make public at this time.
 The letter, which is illegibly signed, Is as follows:
 ''Sir-Having almost thoroughly as- sured myself of an anarchist plot against his excellency, Mckinley, I consider it my duty to advise you of the name of one who is more than suspected of being a leader, whose name is found in the inclosed slip. He is fugitive from justice and a dan- gerous man, having been convicted several times, and on the last occa. sion being sentenced to five years inn prisonmeut for an anarchist attempt
 My statement can be verified on ap- pealing to the prefect of police at Paris, France. In the course of the past year he had concealed with him a man named Francois, the author oi an anarchist attempt at Scranton where he mortally wounded an agent of the police'
 The writer of this letter, the police say. has teen located, and his story will be investigated.

A FLUCTUATING MARKET.
Phillips Says the Price Will Go
 Where the shorts Put It,

Chicago. Nov. 2S.-The November corn corner engineered and controlled by George II. Phillips. while playing the star loie on the board of trade. furnished nothing of spectacular na- fure. November corn opened at 49 cents to S924 cents, compared with Mondays close at 49 cents. Shorts bid the price to 30 cents in few min utes, Mir. Phillips taking in 5000 bush els at that figure. A minute later he sold 1t back to those from whom he buying was for short on stop-loss order. many of which were in the pit between i9 cents and 51 cents. Dur ing the forenoon Mir. Phillips sold about l50,000 bushels. Stocks of con tract corn were reported at 1,151 900 bushels here, an increase of 461 900 bushels for the week. Of the days receipts, out 57 cars were of the grade which may be delivered on November contracts. The young controller of the market was elated at the figures. and the shorts were correspondingly depressed. lonng traders who were on the wrong side of the market. but who were friends and companions of Phillips m his less influential days. have. it IS said. been allowed to settle their deals with him without loss to themselves.
 Where is the market going to 90 o?' friend asked during the forenoon.
 Wherever the shorts put it." Inc said. I'm not going to bid it up, VOL can rest assured"
 It was reported that speculators would be compelled to put up a mar. gin of seven cents on all deals in No. vember corn.
