Tmperiali$tie Het Of 1904

"Section 905. The acts of the Legis-
lature of any state or territory, or of
any county subject TO the jurisdiction
of the United States, shall be authenti-
Gated by having the seals of such state,
territory or country affixed thereto.
The records and judicial proceedings
of the Courts of any state or territory,
or of any such country, shall be proved
or admitted In any other Court within
the United States, by the attestation of
the clerks" etc.
And the next section:
"Section 906. All records and exem-
Publications. of books, which may be
kept in any public office of any state or
territory, or of any country subject to
the Jurisdiction of the United States,
not appertaining to a Court, shall be
proved or admitted in any Court or
office in any other state or territory, or
in any such country, by the attestation
of the keeper of said records or books
or of the Governor, or Secretary
of State, the Chancellor or Keeper of
the Great Seal, of the state, or territory,
or country" etc.
Once more let us catalogue the three
classes of United States territory recog-
nized by this statute:
l. A state.
2. A territory.
8. A country subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the United States.
But who was the Imperialistic Presi-
dent so reckless of republican institu-
ton or so blind to the dangers lurking
in graded system of allegiance per-
hitting colonial enterprises and the
holding of distant possessions that are
neither states nor organized territories,
that he signed the original act estab-
fishing these distinctions?
1t may interest Mr.. Bryan to learn
that his name was Thomas jefferson.

NEW YORK. December 1S-After an ir-
regular opening this morning, prices were
again advanced under a strong buying de-
mand from commission houses and the
various pools. London was inclined to hes
itate, owing to unsatisfactory developments
In South Africa and the prospect of having
to send gold to this side to meet payments
on recent stock purchases. Support was
temporarily withdrawn. in order to test the
market. but around the noon hour trading
became active on an advancing scale.
The Nickel Plate issues were advanced
under further positive statements that some
payment would be made on the second pre-
ferred. The Vanderbilt meetings are relied
upon to disclose some such intention. Erie
issues resumed their advance under excep,
tionally strong buying based on the divi-
dend outlook for the preferred shares
There was some realizing on the way up
but such selling never came from signif-
cant sources.
The banking interest responsible for the
original advance continued to buy at the
high prices. During the afternoon South
ern issues were made active under buying
from sources closely identified with the
management. Both the common and pre-
ferred stocks made new records, and much
comment was heard on the scheme to re-
uuce the common stock and its material
benefits. The success Of the movements

the projected cable need be in operation
less than an hour q day to earn the $685.
CO.,
Gen. Greedy said:
THE cable experiences of the War De-
partment In connection with the relief OF
the legations at Pekin point clearly to the
tremendous disadvantages under which the
United States without its own facilities
