JAPAN TAKES CALMER
VIEW OF SITUATION

TOKYO. oct. 19.-The japanese press
is taking a more calm attitude toward
the situation in the Far East than at
any time since war threatened between
Russia ard the Mikado's forces.
The newspaper "Dsi Dsidshim," in its
issue today, after calculating on the
forces possible to gather together, says:
What about the financial situation?

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-While cable dis

be resumed next Wednesday.
Foreign houses attributed the weak
ness in the London market this morning
partly to the large selling orders re-
ceived from this side, and partly to
the revival of apprehension of financial
trouble among operators there who were
carried over from the last settlement.
The report that the Union Pacific Rail-
road will lease the Atchison on per

has been loaned at per cent, ought

were not reflected by today's low open

Oficial announcement is made that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has adopted
policy Of retrenchment, and has issued
orders stopping the S1O,OOe,0O0 of i'm
prcvements.
The failure today of the Maryland
Trust Company had n depressing effect
on the market. A marked decline fol-
lowed the receipt of the news. but later
room traders took a less despairing View
Of the trouble. The failure of the Inter
national Banking Company Of Mexico
City is said to have brought about the
collapse. The company was heavily
loaded with Mexican loans, and could
get no extension of credit to stem the
tide.
That trade is slackening somewhat IS
pointed out not cnly by the reports of
the commercial agencies, but also by
the curtailment Of work being done by
the railroads. The most notable in
stance is the suspension Of Improvements

II Is apparent 70 well-informed persons
that various questionable methods have
recently been used to create, if possi-
bic, stock market panics. notably In
Pittsburg. Efforts Of this character not
infrequently mark the end OF a bear
campaign. They are often the diving
gasps Of an army In retreat. and Il is
believed In some circles the early week
manipulation represented the final ef-
forts Of a worn-out set of gamblers.
Wall Street, however, IS a wonderful
place for surprises, and the operators
for higher prices who depend on bor-
rowed money may do well to proceed
with extreme caution.
Owners of securities are beginning to
realize that at present prices there is
nothing in conditions affecting the
actual worth Of good stocks and bonds
that warrants sales, and as a conse-
quence the professional element should
from now on have a difficult time in
bringing about serious declines in
values. OF course. it is possible that
forced liquidation is not yet over In
this event lower prices will be made,
but all good market judges advise in
vestOrs TO maintain a firm grip on their
securities possessions; to forget, II pos
sible, that there is a stock exchange,
and to remember that sound invest
ments are not going out Of the dividend
column.

SETTLE THE STRIKE,

As We understand the strike situation
in this city the entire dispute turns on
the question whether non-unlon men
have a right to work FOR a living. The
contractors claim that there are not
enough union men 10 do the work con-
tracted for within the time allowed,
and that because they employed labor
es not belonging 10 unions their men
struck without notifying the employ
ers. II this Is the case. the men should

opinion is against the kind OF tyranny

ENGLAND AND FRANCE,

The visit OF President Loubet to the
Kng Of England is considered one OF
the great events Of the day For years
there has been aniagonlsm between the
TWO countries on either side Of the
Channel AZ times this antagonism has
round expression IN the press. But now
all Is cordially The French have for
gotten 'ashoda, and the English no
more remember the vile cartoons that
appeared IN Paris, There win be no
more talk OF conflict between the two
neighbors, for long time, we hope.
Undoubtedly Great Britain under
stands the necessity Of solid friendship
among the European nations. isolation
Is not desirable, Naturally she would
look 10 France for the friendship OF
which she stands in need, France on
her side has no doubt found that the
alliance with Russia is less profitable
than she at first was led to hope, Rus
sia reaping most Of the benefit OF the
combination, f not all Paris papers
express the view that the rapproach-
ment between Paris and London win in
no wise weaken the connection between
Paris ana st. Petersburg They take
particular pains to state that the Rus
sian alliance is Arst, and the English
second This, however, remains to be
seen.
Russia ard Great Britain still have
conflicting INTERESTS IN several parts of
the globe TITS not conceivable that a
third power can maintain intimate re-
latlons with both for any length Of
time.
But an alliance between France and
Great Britain is more natural than one
between Russia and France. A cove
nant between despotism and liberty be-
tween an autocracy and a republic does
not appear right The old law that
prohibited the mixing Of two unequal
elements, or the yoklng together OF two
animals or dlitereht species, shOuld
stil hold good when applied to political
combinations.
What the results Of an Ango-French
alliance would be, cannot be more than
guessed at but It is vaguely limited
that II England, France and Italy would
stand together, their predominance on
the sea would be secured England
might then withdraw all opposition In
Manchuria, and agree 20 support Rus
STA upon the Bosphorus and France in
Syria, in case the ottoman throne
should suddenly collapse. This will
give vague impression Of the immense
importance that Is attached to the rap.
