A Mnn Arrested ON Charge Of At

tempting the MaEnate's Life.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.--S Morris was ar
rested late this afternoon for an alleged
attempt upon the life of John W. Gates.
ex-President of the American Steel and
Wire Company. When searched two large
revolvers were found concealed in his
pockets. 1t is asserted that Morris also
had designs upon the life Of w. J. Brim-
ston, general manager OF the Kansas City
and Southern Railroad. whom Morris had
enticed to this city by means Of tele-
gram purporting to have been signed by
Gates, but which he himself had sent.
Manager Brimston arrived at the Grand
Pacific Hotel early today in accordance
with the appointment made in the tele-
gram. Failing TO find Mr.. Gates he called
upon him in his Office in the Rookery
Building. After a husty consultation the
two men decided that Morris originated
the scheme, both having received threat
ening letters from him. Morris was cap
tured hanging around the offices OF the
Illinois Steel Company in the Rookery
Building. He was formerly in the employ
of Gates and maintains that the latter
owes him $500
Tenants of the Rookery are said to have
overheard the prisoner making threats to
kill Mr.. Gates. and the two men refrained
from going to luncheon at the Grand Pa
cific Hotel, where, according to the tele-
gram, they were to have met. Instead,
Pam. Calhoun & Glennon, the attorneys
for Mr.. Gates. with offices in the same
building were notified. and they at once
despatched messenger to detective head
quarters and asked Captain Coleran's as
sistance. When taken into the chief of
detectives office Morris could give no in
telligible explanation of the affair, and
refused to assign any reason for being in
nnssession of the two feVnlYers

The faith healer. Dowie. has betaken
himself to London, where he attempted
recently to give an address in public hall.
Four hundred medical students from the
hospitals assembled in that hall and put
the speaker through ''heckling' process
exceedingly trying to his faith and voice.
They whistled, they whooped, they cat
called, they sang, addressed jeering ques-
lions TO the orator. and dispersed only az
ter determined action by the police.
A London audience bent on breaking up
meeting is rather an unpleasant thing
to encounter. but here, If anywhere, would
appear to be a chance to exercise faith.
Henry Ward Beecher once conquered a
Liverpool audience which was determined
that be should not. speak, and he did it
through sheer courage, ingenuity. and de-
termination. He improved every oppor-
tunity when there was a lull in the noise
to throw out one OF those epigramnatic
remarks for which he was famous. and
finally got the turbulent crowd in hand
But Dowie had to ask for material assist
ance-policemen with clubs. 1t seems a
little queer.
The theory OF the faith healers seems
to be that they can at will rely upon the
infinite power of the Creator to supple
ment their own efforts. 1t is something
like the city water works, or an electric
light; turn the faucet or press a button
and you get the power. They. and only
they, seem 10 be IN possession of the secret
Of that spring.
When one thinks OF 1t seriously this
conception of the universe seems rather
peculiar. This earth is only one Of
swarm Of planets and fixed stars, of which
the solar system is but part The Crea-
tor Of this universe is supposed to be on
CALL like a messenger boy, to save man

sumably for some wise purpose. small
child knows that if IL picks up a candle
by the wrong end painful burn will fol-
low. but the Dowieites would have u
believe that they can handle fire with
impunity IL they only have faith enough
1t appears to the ordinary person that
the infinitely complicated, yet strangely
simple, system of laws by which the uni
verse is governed must have been estab-
lished for some good reason. and that the
penalties attached to the breaking of
those laws must be enforced II they are
to be obeyed. Generally speaking, the
troubles of mankind are the result of
some infraction or other. conscious or
unconscious, of the rules by which human
life was meant TO be guided. II man
does not eat good food, breathe fresh air,
take exercise both of body and mind. and
refrain from maltreating other people. he
is going TO suffer the evil effects of his
course and that is a good thing. Nature
works along the line Of least resistance.
and II there were not some disabilities
consequent upon wrongdoing this earth
would be hades in a very short time.
The faith cure people. however, claim
that all sickness. death, and pain. can
be done away with. The curious thing
about 1t is that their faith seems to stop
with saying SO. When they are confront
ed with q comparatively simple problem,

BRADsTREET ON THE WEEK.
A Quiet, Though Confident, Tone In
the Trade Situation.

the Trade Situation.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Bradstreet's for
tomorrow will say:
las the jobbing distributive trade tends
to lessen with the advance Of the fall sea-
son, the repressive influences of ante cleo
ton feeling become more clearly percepti-
Bile, and the result Is a generally quiet,
though at the same time confident feeling
in general trade, which the stock market
has apparently begun to discount with the
result OF swelling current bank clearings
well above recent totals.
las for some time past the best trade
advices come from the South, which re-
mains cheerful in spite of lower cotton.
Pacific Coast advices are that export trade
is very large, as the result Of army needs
and Asiatic requirements. Northwestern
trade is on the whole quiet, and the dis
position to charge the election with this is
manifest. Eastern wholesale trade is quiet.
but steady. Gross railway returns continue
excellent. considering the reports Of quiet
in all other lines. The country's foreign
trade is in flattering condition.
Prices OF farm products have tended
downward this week. The most notable
drop has been in cotton, 1-2 cent for the
week and l cent from the highest price
reached, que 10 the good picking weather
and absence of frost. encouraging maximum
estimates Of yield, and also because of the
heavy weight of receipts brought out by
the high price Of two weeks ago. Cotton
goods are very firm, despite the drop in
raw material, but the disposition is to sell
carefully on spring account.
Wool is little more active and firm in
tone at Eastern markets. The depression
noted is. perhaps, most prominent In the
iron and steel industries, where values for
the cruder material are all well down to
the lowest point reached in more than
year past, and even here 1t is to be noted
that a larger volume Of steel rail orders
have been placed this year than in former
periods. Sales this week OF rails are esti-
mated at 1000 tons, mostly at the West.
1.-THE large steel mills are well supplied
with orders, though at low prices. and the
usual scramble for fall business is absent
this year.

LOST FROM THE ALABAMA.
HDivers Searching The Delaware
River for II Breech Lock-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l9.-Divors have
been engaged since Wednesday searching
the bottom of the Delaware River for a
breech lock weighing 500 pounds. which
was accidentally dropped into the river
The breech lock was intended for tur-
ret gun of the battleship Alabama, ard
cost $3.50. While the lock was be ing
hoisted from a lighter to the deck Of III,
new warship, block Of the davit turned
and il fell into the water. To make new
breech lock would require considerable
time, so il was decided to engage divers
to search for 1t. AS the lcck is made of
nickel steel, its plunge into the river will
not inture 1t to any great extent.
There is still considerable mechanical
work to be done on the Alabama and 1t
will be several days before she can leave
her moorings. 1t has been discovered
that there is slight defect in the recoil
machinery, which must be remedied be-
fore the battleship can proceed 10 League
