CHAABERLA|N'S REMARKS
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson Has
 Something to Say

 Trade-Industries of Both Canada
 and the United States are Progress
 ing Nicely.
 London, Oct 9.-Addressing the semi annual meeting to-day of the share holders of the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, the president, Sir Charles Riv- CTS Wilson, took exception to Joseph Ohamberlain's quotation, on "Ameri- can authority" during his speech at Greenock Wednesday to the effect that American trade was falling @ff. Sir Charles said he saw now appreciable sIackening of the flow of business. The impression which he brought home after his recent visit to Canada and the United States was that the indus tries of both countries were progress ing, and that under ordinary condi' tions there was no reason why then continued development should not be maintained, "in spite of the i'll directed efforts of the combinations, which had introduced such disturbing influences in the natural course of business"
 Sir Charles explained that although the revenue of the Grand Trunk rail- way had largely increased. cor responding increase in the expenditure precluded profuse distribution of dividends. The time, however, would arrive when the Grand Trunk would derive lasting advantages from the present policy of liberal expenditure.

FORGED ENDORSEMENTS
Police Have Taken No Steps Towards
 Prosecuting

Worcester, Mass, Oct 9.--As far as can be aearned from the police author titles and those more directly interest ed, no steps have been taken towards the prosecution of amy person as the result of a statement made public to- day that a New York handwriting ex- pert had found forged indorsemenhs to paper of the Worcester & South bridge Street Railway Go aggTegating $1 100000. The road Is now in the hands of receivers, for purposes of re- organization, and O. M. Thayer, speak ing for those officials, said to-day that the matter of forged endorsement was matter for action by persons whose names were forged rather than by the receivers. George W. Wells, one of the principal stockholders of the road, whose name is alleged to have been found illegally affixed to the notes of the company said that he could not discuss the question. as he had re- tained counsel in Boston to act for him. He would not confirm or deny the statement that foTgeries had been discovered or that criminal proceedings would be taken. Inquiry by tele- phone at the office of the Boston coun- sel of Mir Wells met with no better result. The court officials and the police here have received no intima- t1on that arrests are to be made.
 The Worcester & Southbridge rail- road, with am allied line, the Worces- ter, Rochdale $ Charlton Depot street railway, went into the hands of re- ceivers about two months ago. Two pleasure resorts operated by the roads also were included in the receivership.

USE MUCH GOVERNMENT INK.
OFFICIAL Signatures Consume Quantle'ss
OF Black Fluid.

Of Black Fluid.
There has been considerable news.
paper talk of late about the amount OF
labor involved in signature signing on
the part of certain treasury depart
ment officials. It Is said that Assist
ant Secretary Armstrong created a
record by writing his name to 5000
official documents In a single day,
while others of his associates have &C
CURED hand paralysis and other Ills
by constant use of the pen.
G. F. Adams, the assistant register OF
the treasury, enjoys the reputation OF
using more ink and running more pen
points in his daily work than any other
person in the government service. In
the absence of Register Lyons, Mr..
Adams signs all the bonds and interest
checks. At certain periods Of the year
this involves great amount of work,
and Mr.. Adams is kept busy from
o'clock to the hour of closing. When q
big pile of bonds is brought in for him
to sign he pulls an extra large inkweu
up near the papers and goes to work.
He uses a pen that carries generous
quantity of ink. Mr.. Adams bears
down hard in writing, so that the
strolnos are very broad and consume
quantity O. tx He 55:cs his pen into
the we'll at the conclusion of each sig
nature, and when he finishes the final
sweep there is very little ink left on
the point. At the end of the day Mr..
Adams inkwell is practically empty,
and he has broken up five or six pens.

Batteries Of Warships.

The latest announcement of the de-
signs of the new Russian battleships
is that they are to carry four twelve
inch and twelve eight-inch guns as
their principal armament. In all ma
vies there is a growing tendency to
increase the weight of the secondary
pieces and provide guns that are
armor-piercers at ordinary battle
ranges. Until lately the six-inch gun
was the popular secondary battery
weapon. Then Great Britain brought
out her seven-and-five-tenths-inch gun,
and the United States her seven-1nch
gun, followed little later by Italy,
which, in the Vittorio Emanuel, boldly
adopted a secondary battery made up
exclusively of long-caliber, eight-inch,
rapid-fre guns. The secondary bat
terry Of the Kearsarge and Kentucky
are f1ve-inch and that of the Iowa four
inch.
