FAR BEHIND AMERICANS.
Times Says English Business Men
 Should Visit Us.

New York, Nov. 2s.-In an editorial to- day The Times says that Fred Moseley' s industrial commission has met in the United States with true American hos pitality and n-mindedness and MT. Moseley's idea is one that appeals forcibly to the alert, practical American intelli- gence, cables the London correspondent of The New York Times. There can be no doubt that Mir. Moseley's example will be followed in the United States as well as England with immense benefit to all concerned, continues the editorial. One thing the delegates certainly have every where noted in the superb alertness and business keennesse of the Americ9n em- pIoyer There is, indeed great room for another MoseIey commission to take the masters about the United States and show them how far they are behind the Ameri- cans

NATIoNALIsTs SURPRISED
Thought That Palma Would Ask Him to Stay.
Believed, However, That the Cuban President win Find Place for
 the Late Secretary of \
 Government.

Havana, Nov. 8.-At special meeting of the cabinet presided over by Prestdent Palma 1t was unanimously decided to ac- cept the resignation of Secretary of Gov ernment Tamayo, Secretary of Instrnc- ton Zero assuming the duties of the va cant post until new secretary is ap- pointed.
 That President Palma did not request Tamayo to reconsider his resignation was unexpected by the Nationalist party which hitherto has been in the front of Cuban politics. The Republicans are jubilant at the practical removal of the president of the Nationalist party from the most im- portant cabinet position and claim that this step means the breaking up of the party.
 President Palma was confronted with difficulties whichever course ne might take. It is said that Secretary of State Zaldo had taken the removal ofs Tamayo as a personal matter since the morning of the rioting when he accused Tamayo of mixing up in politics. AThe two men had hot words over the strike in the presence of President Palma and 1t was then that Tamayo resigned his portfolio. Secretary Zaldo said that unless President Palma accepted Tamayo's resignation he would resign himself and intimated that Secretary of Flnapce Monte and Secretary fPublic Works Diaz would go out with him.
 President Palma and late Secretary Secretary Tamayo have always been close friends, and 1t is rumored that the President will provide a position for him in connection with the work of sanita- tion. Secretary zaIdo is the most likely candidate for Tamayo's position. and it Is understood he wants 1t. It is possible that the positions of Secretary of State and Secretary of Government win be combined, though it Is probable that nothing will be done until after the con- clusion of the reciprocity treaty negotia- tions now being carried on by Secretary Zaldo and General Tasker Bliss.
 The municipal council has passed vote of thanks to Mayor O'FarriIl and has approved his conduct during the strike. The press predicts that the new Secre- tary of Government will remove the May or and reinstate the Chief of Police whom O'Farrill discharged for acting vigorously against the strikers.
 The cigar manufacturers have submit- ted various propositions to their work men, which the latter will vote upon next Sunday. If no agreement is reached at that time the cigar makers will endeavor to call another general strike.

 World Has Ever Known.

St. Louis. Nov. 2S.-The October grand jury submitted its final report this after- noon and adjourned.

 The report in part says:
 Citizens of St. Louis have learned with shame how they have been mercilessly robbed for years. We have, for the past nine months. been regaled with the great est exposure of corruption the world has ever known. We believe the people have been awakened and the public conscience has ben quickened and we feel gratified that the law is being vigorously enforced and deu and proper punishment is being meted out to these public plunderers.
 "we have spent some time in the in vestigation of crimes against the ballot. While 1t is clear that many friends have been perpetrated, the difficulty of procur- ing direct testimony Is very great. Cor rupt and incompetent men were appointed as judges and clerks of election in a mum. Der of the precincts which are controlled by the baser clements of our community and the bargains made by the ward and precinct bosses were carried out by these pliant tools. The Nesbit election law. should be amended"
 Circuit Attorney Joseph w. Folk is congratulated by the report upon the eminent services he has rendered in the brIhex investigations.

pr. Bennett Talks.

Boston, Nov. 22-Dr. Samuel E. sBen- nett, Inspector of the United States Bu- reau of animal industry today said: The British government would close her ports to all our ships on slight pretext. All that they would look at is that there is foot and mouth. disease in the United States. It was only a short time ago that Argentine Republic was shipping a great many cattle over to Liverpool Those ships were on the sea, but the word was carried ahead o them that there was cattle disease in Argentine Republic and when the vessels got there they found every British port closed against them. Those ships had to pit to sea. slaughter their cattle in mid ocean ana throw them overheard. The ports were closed to them for three years. In three years that would mean the loss of upwards of B. 0oo. 900 head of export cattle from the ports of the United States. don't look for any long period of this trouble"

Reet sugar and Trust.

The alleged reason for today's advance fin Sugar Trust securities, that it was due to pospects of harmony between the trust and the beet sugar interests. finds little favor here.
 Congressman Tawney of Minnesota leader of the beet sugar supporters in the House declared to The Advertiser correspondent tonight that he placed no credence in the rumors, saying that any change from existing conditions in sugar industry was improbable and that the Sugar Trust could not command suffi- cient money to buy up and destroy the beet sugar industry. that harmony meant destruction to the latter.
 Universal interest in this Wall Street rumor lies in that if 1t were true the is- sue of Cuban reciprocity which now threatens such grave consequences might be settled upon terms that would make for amity between this country and Cuba. Meantime the situation remains perilous.

The evident purpose of those govern ments to compel Venezuela to pay debts long overdue and scandalously disre- earded, by occupying Venezuelan ports and collecting customs, will not be re- sented by our government, which will merely forbid permanent occupation.

washington's Letter.

Booker washin Ston's TusScgee letter pablisheo In the press agencies today ex. plaining that his attitude toward Federai patronaRe Is purely that of an educator and regardless of politics is accepted ana accorded unqualified praise here as non est. straightforward and in high degree commendable. Even those. wao are most radically anti-negro as regards public or flee and sufsrage. frankly admit that the Alabama negro educator has sincerely and with rare force made his attitude clear. These latter are in fact most pleased Of all for while they give Wasn- ington abundant praise for his work Tn The uplifting of his race, they feared that his admitted influence with the President had led him dangerously near politics His own declaration quiets these fears.
 The Presidents pro-negro Charleston letter causes no surprise here and little comment. It is admitted that theoretical ly he has made a good base for himself. But everybody knows and admits that he Is playing national politics whatever he the degree of his personal sincerity Between the lines his letter Is virtually an admission that the retention Of the Northern negro vote is essential to con- tinued Republican supremacy.
