BRADSTREET'S ON THE WEEK.
Increasing shortage OF Cars Becom-
ing n Serious Fnctor

NEW YORK. Nov 22.-Bradstreet's to-
rorrow will say:
Mild weather and the car shortage are
leading subjects for discussion in trade
and industry. The former naturally limits
retail consumptIve demand in some sec
tions. notably the North and Northwest,
but complaints come also from the South.
where. however. the shorter than expect
ed yield and the Iower-than- -Isst-year's
prices of cotton are additional features
Taken as a whole, however, the reor-
der demand from jobbers the country
over and the enquiry for holiday goods
is equal 10. and in the latter case su-
perior to. recently preceding years.
me car shortage grows worse instead
or better. Special enquiry develops that
while complaints of insufficient transpor-
tation facilities come from all leading
American, Canadian, and even some Mex
lcan points. the chief tension is noted in
that part Of the country between the Al
leghany Mountains and the Mississippi
and between the Lakes and the Ohio
River.
industrial centres outside OF this ter
ritory, however, particularly Birmingham.
Ala, and points as far East as Prov
idence, report interruption to trade and
industry. and the volume of shipments
limited thereby. That motive power is
deficient and in many cases the yard
capacity of different railroads is insufiici-
ent also appears evident.
While it is expected that the close OF
Lake navigation viii relieve the tension

Improvement Is looked for until after
January.
THE iron and steel market has burst
its bonds this week. so far as prices are
concerned, and pig iron is 20 cents to 81
a ton higher at nearly all markets. The
former advance is on Southern grades.
and the latter is secured for prompt de-
livery OF much-needed supplies.
Steel works in the Pittsburg district
are reported unable to run to their full
capacity, owing to the lack of supplies of
pig iron, and the furnaces are, in turn.
for want of coke.

Chamberlain ana Germany.

In a moment Of candor Mr.. Chamber
lain. the Colonial Secretary Of Great
Britain, sought to defend his adoption
of severe measures in South Africa by
reference to the methods of the Ger
mans in France and China. His re-
marks were. so far as may be gathered
from cable dispatches. in no sense
aimed at the German soldiery.
The Germans, in their deep dislike to
British policy in South Africa, have
chosen to see in the speech a national
insult Their principal newspapers are
strong in their denunciation OF Mr..
Chamberlain. focusing their hatred on
a personal issue. This is a matter that
cannot be ignored ard one which may
have serious consequences for both ma
tions involved.
There is no doubt that popular feeling
all through the Continent is strongly
pro-Boer. nd it may be that interna-
tional arrangements- made between
Governments at the beginning of the
war VIII be unable much loaaer 10
stand the internal pressure %. upon
ministers. Governments may propose,
but it is the people VINO force their de-
mands. Even the Kaiser Wilhelm
would find it difficult tc Withstand

sition 10 his.

Different POINTS Of view.

Savannah News-It is fact worth not
ing in this connection that Northern peo-
pie who settle in the South experience a
radical change OF opinion in respect 20
the negro soou after they become estab-
lished in their new homes. They see
the negro from another point OF view,
and one that gives them better under
standing Of the negro problem. If these
Northern critics who never get tired Of
advising the South as to the treatment
that should be accorded the negro were
TO spend a year or 81 in a Southern State,
where they would come into contact with
the negro population, we are sure that
what they would say on their return TO
their homes would be very different from
what they are now saying.

DELAYED DOCUMENT ARRIVES.
The Auch-Wunted Taft Commission
Report Received.

After many vexatious, unforeseen yet
| unavoidable. delays. the report of the
Taft Philippine Commission reached See
re;ary Root yesterday, after the latter
had fully given up the hope of receiving
it in time to include any comment upon
| it in his annual report
The much wanted document was brought
from Manila to Washington by d. r. VIII
!!ams, the secretary of the commission.
who reached this city on Thursday night
He made the long journey in company
with Charles A. Conant. of Washington,
who has been for some time past in the
islands as special commissioner to ar
range a system of coinage and finance.
The result of these Investigations has been
included by Mr.. Conant in a report ap-
pended to that of the commission.
The report proper consists OF 294 type
written pages, containing upward of $4,000
words. 1t represents, the official views OF
the new Philippine Commission, which
consists of the five American representa-
tives and three prominent Filipinos-fa-
vera, Legarda. and Luzuriaga.
Mr.. Williams, the secretary of the COM
mission, has served In that capacity since
July last, when the former occupant OF
the position, Mr.. Ferguson, was confirmed
by Governor Taft on his becoming the
supreme civil ruler of the islands, as eX-
ecuuve secretary. .
MIR Williams and Mr.. Conant partict-
pated in the incidents which befeH the
Government transports in the Pacific, the
Hancock. Sheridan, and Warren. They
left Manila with the Congressional party
on the Sheridan on October 10, and made
the run to Nagasaki in five days. The
Sheridan broke down and went into dry
dock.
Seeing the delay which would ensue if
they accompanied the Congressional tour
ists TO Kobe to take the Warren, or, as it
atterward turned out, to be retrans-
ferred to the Hancock Messrs. Williams
and Conant hsstened to catch the Pacific
Mail steamer China, then nearly ready to
start for San Francisco. They were joined
by Senator Bacon of Georgia, who was
anxious to get back to Washington for the
opening of Congress.
The voyage across the Pacific was made
in almost record time ending Saturday
evening last The two officials. with their
valuable report for the War Department,
tooh the Overland Express early Sunday
morning, and reached Washington Thurs
day night
The entire trip from Manila to Wash
ingtUn. in spite of the breaking down OF
the transport and incidental delays, was
made in the splendid time of thirty-six
days. Senator Bacon delayed for a short
time in San Francisco. but is expected
back in this city very soon.
Mr. Williams called at the War Depart
ment yesterday morning and had an in
formal conference with Lieutenant Col
onel Edwards. in charge of the Insular
Bureau.

UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL.
Recommendations Of the Industrial
Commission Regarding Trusts.

The existence of the Industrial Com
mission terminates on December Is. On
hat date the report of the Commission
with its recommendations, will be submit
ted. While the Commission is still di-
yided over some aspects OF the trust ques-
lion the members have agreed on the
basic proposition that trusts should be
brought under Federal supervision sim
liar 10 that exercised over the national
banks.
The Commissioners think that the books
OF the great corporations should be as
open 10 inspection by Federal officers as
are the books of the national banks. The
Commissioners think that the greatest
popular objection to trusts is that they
are enabled to crush competition by un-
dcrselling their competitors in one part
OF the country, making up their losses by
increasing the cost of their products in
other parts OF the country, where they are
tree from competition.
Another of these strong objections TO
the existence of trusts Is the amount of
water introduced into their stock. usually
when the trust Is organized.
BY bringing the trusts under Federal
supervision, the Commissioners think they
can be compelled TO exhibit their assets
in the way of stocks 5bGnds, real estate
plants. etc. and can BE- prevented from
issuing more stock Than their actuaI as
sets warrant Il is Substantially settled
that tue Commission viii, therefore rec
ommend that the trusts in some manner
be brought under Tedlral control.

Her name is Lucy Alexander. When
she applied for admission at FTeedmau's

New Fad Developed mt This Years
Horse show

NEW YORK Nov. 22.-The Horse Show
found itself today. Every year there has
been something to sound the keynote of
the week. to indicate the fad of the sea-
son. This year the show has widely ex-
plotted the skill of amateurs as riding
and driving adopts.
This was forcibly demonstrated in the
hand driving class of Thursday
night when at one juncture Prescott
Lawrence, one of the judges, who was
riding on the box in accordance with the
usual CUSTOM took the reins from the
hands Of the alleged expert and stopped
the team.
The only class to concern the admirers
of the light harness horse during the af-
ternoon or evening was for PAGERS in har
ness with records of 230 or better. Four

JUMPED OVER SENIORS HEADS.
Captain Crozier Made Chief of the
Ordnance bureau.

Capt. William Crozier. of the Ordnance
Department, United States Army, was yes
terday designated Chief of Ordnance for
term of four years, during which time
he will hold the rank of trigadier general
His appointment was made in succession
to Brig. Gen. 4. r. Dufington, who re-
tired from active service yesterday by rea-
son of having reached the age limit.
The promotion of Captain Crozier to
the head of his bureau was made over
the heads of four colonies. five lieutenant
colonies, twelve majors. and nine other
captains. It is therefore. regarded as a
decided blow to the previously operative
principles Of seniority in the army. and a
declaration of the intention of the Presi
dent and Secretary OF War to recognize
ability and progressiveness- in younger Of
ficers CT the army, irrespective of rank
Captain crozier's promotion to the brig
adler generalsAip is only temporary, as
it is made under the provision of the
army reorganization bill adopted at the
last session of Congress, which permits
the detail OF officers to the staff corps Tor
q period of four years, after which time
they must return to the lipe for a period
before they will again he eligible for de-
tail.
Captain Crozier's preferment was bitter
ly opposed by fully twenty of the officers
of the Ordnance Department, who were
his seniors in the service. Many of them
had been in the service since as long ago
Gs 1871, while Captain Crozier entered the
Military Academy in 1872.
