CHOATE ON LINCOLN.
Speaks at Edinburg-Lord Rosebery's
Tribute.

Edinburgh, Nov 13.-Joseph H. Cho-
ate, the United States ambassador to
Great Britain this evening delivered
the inaugural lecture at the Philosophi-
cal institution of Edinburgh, taking as
his theme "The Career and Character
Of Abraham Lincoln
Lord Rosebery, who presided, intro
duced Mr.. Choate as follows: "Mr.
Choate is one of that choice succession
of men whom the United States have
sent to this country. He has endeared
himself to us in a remarkable degree
by his brilliant and genial qualities
For his discourse, he has selected one
of the most interesting subjects within
the range of possibility, the great man
whom he personally knew in the flesh,
Abraham Lincoln"
Many notable persons were sin the
audience, and Mr.. Choate was frequent
ly applauded
Lord RoSebery, replying to a vote of
thanks for presiding, said Lincoln
was one of the great figures of the
nineteenth century To me it has also
seemed that he was the second founder
of the great republic. His strength
rested on two rocks-unflinching prln-
ciple and illimitable common sense.
One distinguishing feature that disas-
sociated him from all the other great
men of history was his immense fund
of humor"

INCRESE IN BRITISH BUDGET.
Transvaal VIII Have to Rear Part of
South African Expenses.

London, Nov. 13-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking this evening in Bristol said it
would not be his privilege in the next
budget to relieve the taxpayers. He
wished he could say that he was not
about to increase the budget; but the
governments expenditure had been
enormous, especially in China and
South Africa. He declared emphatical-
ly, however that the wealth of the
Transvaal would have to bear part Of
the South African expenses
"Of course said Sir Michael, 1--WE
must not spoil the future of the Trans
vaal by attempting to impose upon it
greater burden than it could reasonably
bear. That would be cutting our own
throats. Therefore the British taxpay-
ers must necessarily be a part of the
cost of the war" He also emphasized
the fact that the maintenance of
strong army and navy would involve a
further considerable expenditure.

4SSIG INTENT or GRANT BROTHERS
A DefaIcation of $1 SO, 200 to $175 5,OOO-A
Statement Promised.


New York. Nov. 13.-The firm of
Grant Brothers, stock brokers' made an
assignment to-day to e. G. Stedman,
and the assignment was made the basis
of rumors which, in substance, were to
the effect that the stoppage of the
firms business was due to a defalca-
ton.
The amount of the defalcation was
placed at from $150,000 to $175,000, but
up to the present no one connected with
the firm will admit or deny the rumors
that are flying around and just where
they started is not known. The firm
was prominent on the stock exchange
some years. but of late has been mac
tive Mr. Stedman says the liabilities
will be below 100000 and probably less
than half that sum, and that of late
the Grants have been winding up their
affairs.
Mr. Stedman tonight said: II shall
not make any report until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning and then I will give
this report to all the newspapers at my
Office. | know that certain imputations
have been made against certain per-
sons but advise all to be careful and
go slow in this matter. I shall be very
careful myself. 1t is impossible for me
to make any statement tonight. L
care not what statements have been
made or published; these do not affect
in any way my purpose to give out the
statement of the firms condition to-
morrow"

Alleged Remark Attributed to a Yale
Coach.

Cambridge Mass, Nov. 13.-Captain
DAILY of the Harvard varsity football
squad was in bed to-day by order OF
physicians. Kendall also was in bed
to-day with a bad arm. The head
coaches at Harvard learned to-day that
a coach of the Yale team remarked in
a New York hotel that Yale would
beat Harvard this year as Harvard
had team of quitters. This made the
coaches more or less angry, but they
took it out on the team this afternoon,
giving them hard practice on develop
ing defense. The ball was constantly
given to the second eleven to attack
the varsity line. Miff1in played full
back on the second eleven and repeat
edly made long gains through the first
eleven's line. This, together with the
frequent offside plays of Lawrence,
gave the first eleven poor showing.
Fincke ran the team pretty well and
put some snap into the backs.

IN INCREAsE oF1s CoNGREssMEN.
Probable Result of Reapportionmcnt
Under the Recent Census.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Director of the
Census Merriam was at the White
house to-day. He called the attention
of the president to the fact that the
figures on the population of the United
States the total of which already has
been announced, are in such shape that
they will be at the disposal of congress
when it meets for any action it may de-
sire to take in the direction Of reap
portionment bill. The reapportionment
following the count Of the twelfth CEN
sus will become operative by law in
1903.
There probably will be a considerable
increase both in the ratio and the total
number Of representatives under the
new apportionment. Starting with a
ratio of one to every 10000 Inhabitants,
there were sixty-f1ve representatives in
the First congress. The eleventh CEN
sus in 1890 gave a population of 62,622,-
zoU, or an increase or l2,5O0,000. The ra-
ito was 173901 persons to each repre-
sentative and the house numbered 356
members The ratio under the new CEN
sus probably will reach 100000. With
an increase of 13,225,464 shown by the
present census and letting majority
fractions of the apportionment count
for an additional member, as has been
the custom, this would make an in
crease of eighteen members in the next
house. Reapportionment on this basis
would cause only four states to lose
representatives. They are Maine and
Virginia in the east and Kansas and
Nebraska in the west. These states
would lose one member each. Any ratio
smaller than 100000, which would save
them their full representation, would
cause considerable addition to the
of the house.

4 STRIKE QUICKLY ENDED.
Telegraph Operators On Santa To Road
Ont Buta short Time.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 13.-A strike
was ordered on the Santa Fe system to-
day involving all the telegraph opera
tors west of Albuquerque, including
those in the employ of the Southern
California and San Joaquin Valley
roads. The strike, however, was of
short duration, for within thirty min
utes of the first order, which emanated
from the grievance of the Brotherhood

there came a second order directing the

at this end at present, but it
is presumed that concessions were
made to the brotherhood to call the
strike off.

CONCERT OF The POWERS
LONDON Papers AGAIN AGITATED
CONCERNING ITS STABILITY.
American and German Attitude Disap-
proved -yyaldersee's Ordering of n
Column 10 Destroy the Ming Tombs
Regarded as NeedIessly Vindictive-Sir
Robert Hart Reported to Have Been
Appointed to Settle Indemnity Cues
ton With Powers.

London, Nov. A. The London morn
ing papers are again agitated concern
ing the stability of the concert of pow
ers in China. The attitudes of Ger
many and the United States meet with
disapproval, the former because Count
Won Waldersee has sent a column to
destroy the Ming tombs, an act which
is regarded as needlessly vndictive,
and the latter because it threatens to
break up the concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments
strongly upon the American attitude as
a ''feeble compromise which it is i'm
possible to accept"
The Morning Post says 1T would
be unreasonable for the United States
to break up the concert because they do
not desire indemnity. The powers
would probably be willing to consider
Americas objection If, however, the
United States have in view some new
combina ton of powers, it would be
necessary for Great Britain and Ger
many to agree upon a common policy
to be pursued in the absence of a gen
eral agreement
The Standard which dismisses the
subject with a mere reference, says
American opinion on the Chinese prob
lem is too uncertain to be considered
seriously"
DR.. Morrison, wiring to the Times on
Sunday, expresses the opinion that
China will readily accede to all the
terms of the conjoint note except the
execution of the princes and officials
which it will be impossible to fulfil
while the court is in the hands of these
very officials"
considerable curiosity is felt at Tien
Tsin," says the Shanghai correspond
ent of the Times, "as to the where

though not leaving the country, are

that the empress dowager has appoint

Berlin, Nov. 13.-Private advices an
nounce that the Catholic German mis-
sionary Bishop Hammer, was first hor-
ribly tortured and then burned alive at
Tus-Tsin. A new batch of letters from
soldiers in China appears to-day in a
number of papers, giving horrible de-
tails of wholesale executions of China
men at Liang-Siang and Taking; but ,
the press generally does not take cog
nizance of these revelations.

his desire that they should all remain
with him during the four years of his

were made known in an extended
speech at the cabinet meeting in the
White house to-day. Responses We're

there was, on the other hand, no definite
declination. To-day's proceedings sets
forth the wishes of the president in the
matter and relieves the members of the
cabinet of the customary obligation OF
rendering their designations at the end
of the term, unless they have made an
irrevocable decision that it will be i'm
possible for them to continue in office.
1t also sets at rest all speculation and

That factor is Attorney-General Griggs, |
