Of the iclcIts on Mr.. Cortelyol Is that
he is a man excellent judgment and
very ripe experience in public sffaris
and not gwen to spectacular gale y

neither the public nor the stockholders

ideal in this respect Every minor

is that at certain intervals and at the
pleasure Of the dominating manage

market quotations for the stock are

quently Mr.. Mr. Rockefeller and Mr..
Havemeyer took fright at the sugges.

their earnest objections to having

Early in March the Standard oil
stock holders are to receive 500. .OOO.-

100000 paid by the Standard oil to its
stockholders within a period Of twelve

ing house. which has no especial afil.
iations with the speculative interests
Each time, however. It was made an
object for the house TO abandon its
purpose and no gold has yet been
shipped. Wall street gives gold ex.
ports exaggerated importance and for
speculative effect II has not been con.
sidered advisable to reduce the hoards
Of gold in the United States. although
the total is now the largest in histo.
ry. There is no more reason why the
United States should not export gold
than any other product. The produc.
tion Of this country approximates SS5..
100000 a year at the present time and
most of It is kept at home going TO
increase circulation. We might lust
as well ship gold as wheat. cotton.
corn or provisions. but It seems to be
against the policy Of the kings Of
finance to allow II TO be done. Hence
when there is imminent DANGER OF
shipments the leading banking houses
erect barriers to check the outgo. This
is usually done by selling bills which
is one form of borrowing money
abroad TO meet such obligations as
might be maturing and which would
naturally call for exports Of gold. /.
is not impossible. however, that the
coming week may witness moderate
exports Of the yellow metal.

nation is working hard to forward

has assurance that the measure will
become a law. Congress is forgiven
already for its antitrust enactmeuts
and there is a prevailing spirit OF
thankfulness that nothing worse was
done. The verdict is that congress on
the whole has not done so bad.
The market leaders and investors
generally. however. will not feel quite
safe, until the statesmen final.

is an actual adjournment there Is al
ways danger of deadlock which
would necessitate a special session

"STAND BY TO LIFT THE CUP
British Say They Can Design .
Boat to Beat the Yankees.
Suggest n Combine of Experts GetTo-
gether and Turn Out n Yacht to
Retrieve Country's Laurels.

London, Sept. Sir Thomas Lip
tons third failure ito lift" the Amer
ica's cup has aroused a widespread re.
solve in'British yachting circles lat q
further effort shall be made to recover
the famous trophy. Mr.. Galway, man
ager of Thorneycroft's shipbuildins
works, where Shamrock |. was dc
signed, suggests, in an interview, thai
a combine of yacht experts to turn Out
a yacht which, being the product Of
the finest talent in the kingdom, would
retrieve the country's lost laurels.
There are persons who say tina
England can not build a yacht equal
to American, SAID Mr.. Galway. THAI
is nonsense. But there it is. The de-
feats have besmirched this country's
laurel8 in one of the greatest and most
famous of its trades. There ought ia
be no difficulty at all in turning out a
yacht that would do the trick. Wha1
is wanted - q general committee COM
posed of shipbuilders, yachting experts
and designers-the first to consider the
varying points in the boats which have
been met in .4ipton's efforts.
"Th"re is a most valuable lot OF
data now to go upon. Having fully
considered them, the committee should
discuss the question as to who should
be the designer, then consider every
little detail"

HAVE BEEN BEATEN FAIRLY.
Sir Upton Thinks There
Must BE Some Magic Spell About
the BloOmin' Cup.

New York, Sept. 6.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton, responding to a sentiment at the
Pilgrims banquet at the Waldorf-As-
toria, Friday night, at which he was
the guest of honor, said:
I'VE have been beaten fairly and
squarely, and l congratulate America
on having the better boat.
81 have heard much comment for
and against the Sandy Hook course. 1t
is as good a course as any other-nay,
there is no other course in the world
like it.
81 am beginning to think that there
is some magic spell about that bloom
in old cup. Two years ago had it al
most within my grasp, but it escaped
me of the story of the Irishman who
it seems as far off as ever. 1t reminds
me of the Story of the lrishman who
was asked if he could play a fiddle. 4
don't know said he, I've never tried
It. l have tried it and tried it again
without success, but my motto has al
ways been, Try, try again
Although l have been without sue.
cess each time, I have tried, I do not
despair that some day we shall sue
coed in capturing that famous trophy,
although l must confess that we ap-
pear now to be more than a little bit
astern.
Still / have the consolation that
both conquerors and conquered belong
to the same good old race. The cup is
still in the family, only it is held by a
younger and more go-ahead genera
tion"

MASON IS A NOTED ROBBER.
East st, Louis Prisoner is identified
by Pinkerton superintendent
as Richard Harris.

East st. Louis, ILL.,, Sept. 5.-H. W.
Minister, superintendent of the St.
Louis office of the Pinkerton detective
agency, Friday afternoon identified
James Mason, a prisoner at the East
St. Louis police station, as Richard
Harris, alias Frank NJ. Willis, alias
Little Dick, alias Willis James.
Mr.. Minister says Mason is n OF
the most noted bank robbers in the
world and the pal" of Joe Dollard,
who is equally well known to the police
of Europe and America.
Mr.. Minister says that Mason and
Dollard have served time in the Detroit
~penitentiary and also in the prisons at
Brussels and Bruges, Belgium; and at
Paris.
Mason was arrested Sunday night in
an alley behind the East st. Louis
Trust and Savings Co. building with
Edward Fahey.
The police say a third man was with
them, but escaped. 1t appears that this
man was inside the bank and Mason
and Fahey outside. While the police
were surrounding them the third man
jumped from a window and escaped. In
front of the building the police found
a suit case filled with safe breakers
tools. They include an electrical de-
vice for opening a safe without the aid
Of explosives.

NONE Drawer THAN THESE.
Six Brave Trackmen Face Certain
Death Like Heroes.
fingered In the Very Face of heath
knowing Failure Mean the
Lives of Many Others.

Edwardsville, ILL.,, Sept. Six men
labored desperately, early Friday, to re-
move a heavy handcar from the rails
in time to save the Continental Limit
ed, the Wabash flyer between st. Louis
and New York. from possible wreck
near Edwardsville, Ill. While the train
swooped down upon them each n
nervily stuck to his task, and how they
all escaped being killed is unexplained.
The men are in the employ of W. P.
Carmichael, of Williamsport, N. Y, the
bridge constructor, who has the con-
tract for all the bridges along the
short line the Wabash is building. He
wired them that he would reach Ed
w%ardsville, Friday morning, to inspect
the work two miles south of town and
would be on No. IA, the Chicago train.
The men, accordingly, started to the
station with a handcar to convey him
back.
Figuring on the time of No, IA, they
forgot that the Continental preceded
it 20 minutes, and were pumping away
when it suddenly swept down upon
them at a mile-a-minute clip.
Instead of fleeing from the imminent
danger the men endeavored to throw
the car from the rails, lingering in the
very face of death, nerved by the
thought that their failure might mean
the derailment of the great train.
They had partly turned the car
around when the engine was upon
them. 1t struck the car like a light
ming bolt, hurting the men to either
side of the track and grinding the car
to splinters.
The engineer stopped as quickly as
possible, and backed up to pick up the
victims, expecting to find a number
of mangled bodies. But while the men
were bruised they had survived the eX-
p%erience to a man, and were compli-
mented on their nerve by trainmen and
passengers.

ENGINES FOR WORLDS FAIR.
Pennsylvania Road to Exhibit For
eiSn Locomotives to Test Their
Good and Bad Points.

Altoona, Pa, Sept. THE Pennsyl-
vania railroad has just announced that
it has ordered locomotives from
France, Germany. Russia and England
for exhibition purposes at the st. Louis
Worlds fair next year, and may in
clude engines from Japan and Italy in
the exhibit. The Pennsylvania is max
ing the exhibit to show the superiority
of its locomotives over the foreign
work and incidentally to pick up any
of the good points that they may pos
sess. After the fair the engines will
be put into service on the different d.
visions of the road under charge of ex-
perts, tt determine their relative ca
pacity with the standard locomotive OF
the road. Each engine will go to a di-
vision IN turn and will be tested and
then sent to some other point. Records
of work Of each machine will be kept.
and thus the company will know ex-
actly in what the foreign engines ex-
eel the American ones or on what
point they fail.

POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING.
Mysterious Death of Two Men by
Drugs Has Got Springfield
Police Guessing.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-THE police
Of the city are investigating the mys-
FERROUS death of Bert A. Whiteside, OF
this city, which occurred at mock ISL
and recently, and + of the opinion
that he was murdered by G. L. Cab
bart, his nephew, also of this city, who
committed suicide at Galesburg about
September l by taking morphine. Chief
of-Police Anderson, on July II, re-
ceived a letter from Mrs. G. l.. Geb-
bart, asking that he use his efforts to
locate her husband, who had left there
with Whiteside. Two weeks later Mrs.
Gabbart appeared in person and told
the chief of police that her husband
could be found in company with Bert
Whiteside, and that she feared White
side would murder Gabbart, though
she gave no reason for the fear. About
two weeks ago Whiteside was found on
the streets of Rock Island in a dazed
condition, apparently having been
drugged. He was taken to the police
station, where he died without re-
gaining consciousness.

How the Veterans Feel.

The Grand Army of the Republic
shows by the following resolution
adopted at San Francisco that it does
not agree with the president of the
United States in his estimate of Lieut..
Gen. Miles:
"Resolved, That we congratulate that
splendid soldier. exemplary commander
and patriotic citizen, Nelson A.. Miles. upon
his attainment Of a distinguished and hon.
orable retirement after a matchless rec
ord as a soldier of over az years service
without just criticism Of his official con-
duct, which began as a lieutenant in the
Twenty-second Massachusetts infantry.
progressed by the brightest grade of heroic
patriotism from Manassas to Appomattox
during the greatest of all civil wars. from
1861 to 1865, and Illuminating this record by
his military achievements as a successful
Indian fighter and again as a great and
judicial military disciplinarian and organ-
izer."
without just criticism of his official
conduct" is a diplomatic but singing
condemnation of the amazing hostility
shown by the president and the secre-
.tary of war toward the most accom-
plished and experienced soldier now
living.
1t is a pity that there was any &C.
casion for such a reflection upon the
president of the United States. but that
there was will be admitted by most
people.-Chicago Chronicle.
