AUTO CLIMBS A TOWE R.
Two Hundred Pound Machine in Co., penhagen Performs n Most
 Remarkable Feat.

A curious performance was late ly accomplished by an automobile in Denmark. Copenhagen possesses a circular tower 100 feet in height, which was formerly used for astro- nomica1 purposes. Its top is only reached by ascending a spiral pas sage 12- feet broad which winds be- tween the outer wall of the tower and an inner circular wall. From the base to the top it is entirely without steps, and the gradient is seven inches per ell. An automobile of five-horse power, weighing 200 pounds, and carrying three persons, ascended the tower the other day, taking one minute for the journey, and afterward making the much more dangerous descent with equal success. It is of interest to recall that. the Czar Peter the Great, on visiting Copenhagen in 1716, made the same ascent and descent in a carriage drawn by four horses.

FOR TY FORTS TAKEN
Maciu Moros Routed by Caps
 tain Pershing's Forces,
POSITION SUPPOSED IMPROBABLE.

Chief Stronghold Abandoned After
 Two Americans WOunded--Now
 Awaiting Peace Overtures.
 MANILA, Oct. 6.-Captain John J. Pershing's column has completely rout- ed the Maciu Moros in the island of MindanaO, killing or wounding a hun dred of them and capturing and de- stroying forty forts. Two Americans were wounded.
 On Tuesday the Moros retired to Eaeir largest and strongest fort, on the lake shore, and Wednesday Captain Pershing attacked them with artillery, bombarding the enemy for three hours. At noon Lieutenant Loring, leading a squad of men, attempted to set fire to the fort. He crept under the walls and started blaze, but the Moros dis covered him and forced the Americans to retreat.
 During the afternoon the sultan of Cabugatan led a sortie at the head of a band of fanatics armed with krisses They crept through the grass and sprang up and attacked the Americans. The sultan was wounded six times and boloed an American before he died. His followers were killed.
 Tn the darkness Wednesday night Captain Pershing took his batteries within a hundred yards of the fort, closed in his infantry lines and re- sumed the attack. The Moros broke through twice and attempted to escape 71 4I,1 I31 .1... many of them were killed.
 The Moros abandoned the fort early on Thursday, after fifteen hours bonn bardment, and Captain Pershing de- stroyed the rest of the forts and re- turned to Camp Wears.
 It is believed the moral effect of the defeat of the Moros will be great Gen. eral Davis has ordered that hostilities be stayed in order to permit the sultan of Bacolod and other hostile sultans to make peace.
 The sultans of Maciu were confident of their ability to defeat the Americans and vowed before the fight to enter slavery voluntarily if they themselves were defeated.
 General Davis has sent General Sum- ner, in command of the American forces ill Mindanao, congratulatory telegram on the success of Captain Pershing and the small American loss.

The state department has just re, ceived, advices from Minister Squiers, at Havana, to the effect thatsthe Gus ban house. of representative has passed law requiring that in all projects undertaken under concessions from the Cuban government 80 per cent of the labor employed shall be Cuban. While the right of Cuba te protect her own citizens is recognized. says one writer, it is feared in Washington that this is but the first of a series of retaliatory statutes to be adopted as q result of the failure of congress to grant reef procity to Cuba and for that reason it is believed to be more serious than appears on it's face. Under the proyis- ions of the Platt amendment Cuba was required to enact immigration laws which would protect Cuban citizens from the competition of Chinese and Japanese laborers, but it was not an- ticipated that such laws wuld be made the means of excluding American labor, as seems to have been the case.

 The August reports of the anthra. cite coal carrying roads and mining companies has just been issued.

 It is useless to inquire as to what the president will do until this ques- ton is settled in the state of Pennsyl- ania itself. When Governor Stone I gives evidence that he will not take a hand, then it will be time to look to the president for, federal intervention. Should Governor Stone continue in his l spineless course and permit lawlessness and chaos to continue to exist in his commonwealth, then the federal gov ernment can take a hand. and, we be- lieve, should do so. But the next step toward bringing this lntolerable affair to a close lies with the state of Penn l syIyania Until that state demon 1 strates its unwillingness or inability to cope with the issue, all discussion of federal intervention is useless.-New Haven Register.

The true remedy for such emergen- cies as beset the money market last week is intelligent reform of our cur rency and fiscal systems, says Banker Henry Clews. Such responsibilities as Secretary Shaw met in regulating the money market ought never to be imposed upon any government official. Even under secretaries of the great est acumen and integrity the business interests of the country and present methods are exposed to the uncertain ties of single mind, no matter how wisely that mind may act; and right ly or wrongly there is always the fear that such mind may lack correct judgment or be unduly influenced. This element of uncertainty is infin- itely greater than would be possible under system where the extremes in the money market were regulated by natural means which trained ob- servers could measure, instead of ar tificial means the efficiency and time liness of which can never be fore told. Secretary Shaw merely did the best he could to correct the bad work ing of a defective system in an emer- gency; it is now the duty of congress to modernize that system and save the country from a repetition of such experiences as those of last week
 The present secretary has shown in his efforts to remove the, stringency of the money market, occasioned by the great prosperity of the country, confidence in his own financial abil- ity; and finding one method after the other unsuccessful was quick to se- lect others until the work of saving the country from panic has now been accomplished, all due to his sa- gacity, alertness, courage and good business judgment. The banks are now relieved from keeping a reserve on government deposits, and they are also enabled to furnish /collateraI against their deposits other than
 United States bonds. This ought to lbe ample to very soon afford relief
 and adjust the money situation to
 meet the demands for crop moving ] and other legitimate business pses.
