A GREAT MAN OF JAPAN.
Baron Hayashi Once Game Near Los
 ing His Head.

ing His Head.
 Baron Hayashi, who has been prophecy ing smooth things concerning events in the Far East, is now one of Japan's most trusted servants, although in earlier days he was among those who offered the most uncompromising opposition to the new or- der of things, and on one occasion at least came within an ace of losing his head for rebel and Ia reactionary, after spend ing a night in a wooden cage. It was realized in time, however, that some lives are too useful to be taken, and the some- time rebel lived accordingly to represent his country at the Court of St. James.
 Baron Hayashi has represented Japan at Pehin and St. Petersburg. as well as London, and before this was similarly concerned with the foreign relations of the Empire as Vice-Minister, or second in charge of the Foreign Ohice. at Tokio He paid his first visit to England more than thirty years ago as secretary to the Elm bassy which came to spy out the man ners and customs of Western civilization post which he obtained as much be- cause of his excellent knowledge of Eng fish as for any other reason. Today Baron Hayashi, as one of the negotiators and signatories of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, is figure of the first importance in diplomatic circles.

THE LABOR QUESTION
REPUBLICANS HAVE POIGNANT
 FEARS OF uEroNIsM.
Apprehension Caused by Union Men Who Say Administration is War
 ring on Organization.

Washington. Aug. 0.--(speciai.)--An ele- ment of poignant trouble in Republican minds just now is the labor question in the departments,
 Apprehension Is caused by the deciara- tions of individual union men since the Miller case brought the issue to the fore. that the basic integrity of unionism can not be attacked by executive action with impunfty. A published statement in an administrative evening paper today de- nies that the President has ordered an investigation in all the departments with view to inquiring whether the law has been disregarded in any quarter because of union requirements.
 The same paper, when Miller, the as- sistart foreman of the binding room of the Government Printing Ofiice, was dis missed at the instance of the union and then reinstated by order of the Presi- dent, came: out at great rate on the line of a thorough. investigation to be had in all the departments; that Mir. Roosevelt was not going to stand any foolishness; that the labor union would have to get out of the way for Roosevelt and his law. The denial is abortive and expresses the weakness of the situation with those who would defend the administration, and at the same time coddle the union. In- quiry tonight discloses the fact that the sweeping investigation has not only been ordered. but Is in process of execution.
 Union men know that their methods and relations with the Government are under inquisition, and they are talking about in way not suspicious for the party of the administration in next years cam paign.
 That is what is pestering the Republi- can spirits and that is why they seek to minimize the investigation, deny the im- port of its assault upon the union, and make it appear everything but what it Is.
 They realize this is another break of Rooseveltism, another rash spurt of the runaway gait, and they manifestly fear 1t will play more smash with party pros- poets than any stunt yet performed by the White House "spectacuiarist," as D. B. Hill would call him.

STOCK MARKET
 GAINS STRENGTH Comprehensive Advance Made
 Throughout the List VERY FIRM AT THE CLOSE Movement During Early Part of the Day Was Not Very Convincing Owing to Character of Stocks
 Which Moved Very Fast. 
VERY FIRM AT THE CLOSE

New York December 2.-Beginning in somewhat irregular and uncertain way, today's stock, market gained strength and breadth and made comprehensive ad- vance in prices A reaction on profit taking in the last hour was followed by a recovery and a firm closing, although prices were not at the best all around. The movement during the early part or the day was not very convincing, owing to the character of the stocks which made the most brilliant movements, most of them being rarely seen in a conspicuous place in the market, and the wide move ments in their prices being effected on light volume of dealings. The electric stocks, high priced coalers, United States export, New York Air Brake, Realty pro- ferred, North American, Colorado Fuel and some of the stocks of minor railways were amongst those which moved up- wards from to 10 points.
 This failed at first to overcome the po- sitlon of the rest of the market caused by the threatening outlook in the far east by the heavy loan expansion, dis closed by the bank statement published on Saturday while the stock exchange was closed. The market turned dehnltely upwards when the announcement was made of gold engagements in London Tor import. Succeeding engagements brought the total for the day up to Sl7O0OOo, ana this was the persisting influence In ii1t- ing prices of the more prominent stocks overcoming the doubts caused by the bank statement.
 The loan expansion was generally at- tributed to corporation borrowing, and was supposed to be the forerunner or new issues of securities, such as the $4OOOOOO0 of Lake Shore bonds offered for sale The price of 99 for this high grade per cent bond was interpreted as expressing the opinion of the bank ing community that the per cent Tor time money is likely to be the minimum for considerable time.
 The report made by the Lake shore in connection with the bond offering of its holdings and subsidiary stocks. es- pecially of Readings, was bullish inf1u- ence upon the stocks and also upon New York Central, which rose more than two points, but lost one point of the rise. St. Paul made an upward rush Of 29s, with an important effect of professional sentiment, which is inclined to draw conclusions as to the market attitude
 
 ment of this stock The feature of the closing market was the jump of 2h points in United States Steel preferred on heavy takings. Speculative inquiry was very alert for light on the showing 10 be made by the corporation in it's re- port of earnings for the past quarter. which is expected to appear during the first week in January.
