Big Deposits a Big Power.

1t has also been discovered in Wash
ihgton that huge government deposits
IN national banks is a leverage of
great power. 1t was one of the forces
brought into play in the anthracite coal
strike of 1902, to force the coal barons
from their position of intolerable ar
rogance. A covert suggestion that if
tne oarons failed to see the expediency
OF compromise in accordance with
the desires of the President is said to
nave effected an instantaneous change
OF heart. At that time government de-
posts were only about sec, 600 900, but
the financial situation was precarious
ana the bare thought of the with
drawal of government deposits struck
a chill down the backs of the bank
ers. Very few outside the inner circle
ever connected the treasury power in
wan street with the quick settlement
OF the anthracite coal fight. There are
many chapters in the unwritten history
on Wall street and the Washington end
thereof, which would be mighty inter-
estlng reading if the full details could
be told with proper dramatic effect and
stage settings.

I am not surprised that the japanese
soldiers are fighting so bravely and dy-
ing so heroically for the flag of their
country. The mothers, wives, sisters
and female friends at home are cheer
ing them on by patriotism as heroic
as the world has ever seen. Women
and children of all ages and classes,
titled and untitled are working to-
gether for the comfort of the soldiers
in the field. The Blue and the Gray
veteran soldiers of our own land know
full we'll what this means. Talk as we
may of the Dove of Peace, when war
breaks out the brave and patriotic
women become the real backbone of
the army. But for their labors and
prayers and appeals many feet would
falter in the march and many arms
grow weak in battle. Nor do their la
bors end with the Dawn of Peace. 1t
matters not whether their flag comes
home srowned with victory or folded
in defeat. the heroes who fell beneath
1t for the cause they loved. must be
honored in their graves. And, to-day
from Maine to California, the noble
women of the North and South have
dotted our land with monuments to
the heroic dead of the Blue and the
Gray. Our prayers and our sympathy
go over the water to the noble and pa
triotic women of Japan.

When Veteran T. B. Catherwood,

one of Napoleons famous "Old Guard"
1t seems that I was not far from

the Civil War, and that famous corps

is being made in Atlanta for the grave
of Col John c. Wilkinson of Missis-

The statement that he was made a
brigadier general just prior to his death
does not agree with the official rec

Chief Justice Thomas ]. Simmons,
colonel of the Forty-hfth Georgia Regi-

general. There were no brevets in the
Confederate States army but Congress
permitted temporary rank to be con-

Politics is not discussed openly in
the financial district as much as it was
week or two ago, but in the back
rooms of counting houses and banks
the real leaders of finance and business
are doing some thinking and some con-
ndentlal talking. Wall street may be
said to be in a waiting mood for the
moment. The thing it is waiting on
now is the Parker letter of acceptance.
Powerful influence is being brought to
bear on Judge Parker to induce him
10 give assurance, as far as lies in his
power, that the weight of his position,
If elected President, will be against all
kind of agitation within his party,
which may tend to disturb business.
Those who are giving counsel of this
kind to the Democratic candidate say
that If he does what they ask and what
they believe they have a right to ex-
pect, it will greatly strengthen the
Democratic ticket, and make the fight
an even one between Parker and
Roosevelt. The political situation be-
hind the curtain is extremely interest
ing at this chapter. The deep waters
in the Wall street pool are stirred.

must have been in San Francisco the

One officer is dismissed the service, an
other commits suicide and still others
are ION the ragged edge" The wife
of one officer is mixed up in a half
dozen scandals with officers and her
husband is seeking a divorce. The
wives of one or two of the involved
officers are threatening to sue for di-
vorce. Then a half-dozen or more
cases of duplicating pay accounts have
caused some fast" young officers to
be court martialed. Evidently this
writer, can Army Woman" has had
good opportunities for careful observa-
ton. She admits that in some garri-
sons there are so few women that too
much attention is sometimes paid to
married women, and in few instances
this has led to a sort of scandal. It
will be remembered that a case of this
kind at Fort Mcpherson a few years
ago caused a big sensation and a
shooting scrape. But the recent cases
in San Francisco have involved so
many officers there that "officer and

DECISION ON LOTTERY ENTERPRISES
AFFECTS MANY MAGAZINES
AND NEWSPAPERS.

Washington, Nov. 30-An important
meeting OF the cabinet was held dur
ing the day Two questions OF con
cern were considered, the first being
the appointment by the president of a
representative of the American gov.
ernmeDt, who will be a naval Officer
OF high rank. on the tribunal which
is TO determine the questions which
have arisen between Great Britain and
Russia over the firing by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's Baltic fleet upon the Brit
ish trawiers ia the North sea, and the
other being an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Moody regarding the
legality. under the lottery laws, of
guessing contests" which have been
conducted by many newspapers and
magazines.
The invitation extended to the pres
ident by Great Britain and Russia to
name a member of the tribunal was
considered carefully, especially by the
president and Secretaries Hay and
Morton. When the cabinet adjourned
no definite conclusion as to who should

was settled definitely that the ap-
pointee would be rear admiral of the
navy. IL is practically certain choice
would be made among the three Off
cers-Rear Admirals Davis, Chadwick
and Sands Admiral Dewey was con
sidered for the appointment and the
desire was generally expressed that he
should have it, bGt he has let IL be un-
derstood that he does not care for the
honor Announcement of an appoint-
ment may be expected in a few days.
Some time ago on the request of
Postmaster General Wynne, the presi-
dent directed the attorney general to
submit to him an opinion as TO the
propriety, under the law restricting
the operations of lottery enterprises
through The mails, of guessing con-
tests of various kinds which have been
features of many publications for sew
eral years That opinion was submit
ted during the day and was turned
over by the president TO Postmaster
General Wynne, who hereafter will be
guided in his, direction Of the depart
ment by it. The opinion is of most
sweeping character and, while the
postmaster general has no inclination
TO work hardship upon anybody, he
will put the attorney generals judg-
ment into effect as soon as may be
practicable.
The attorney general says the
schemes are in effect lotteries under
the guise Of guessing contests.

Japanese Capture Several Positions
After Severe Fighting.

Chefoo, Nov. 30.-Chinese and Japa
nese adyiceS received here during the
day, while not beyond question, indi-
cate the practical certainty that an
other general assault on Port Arthur
began Nov. "a and was continuing
Nov. 27. 1t is certain that there has
been severe fighting. The only ques.
tion is whether the assault was suffl-
cientiy widespread to be called gen
eral. The fighting is with the object
OF capturing additional Russian trench
es. The summit forts seemingly were
not attacked The Chinese say that
one train or thirty cars recently ar
rived at Port Dalny with wounded
men No prisoners were captured.
AS frequently indicated the japanese
position is most promising at Rihlung
mountain and Keekwan mountain and
the latest attack was designed to fur
ther increase the power OF these posi-
tions A detachment of the Eleventh
division began the advance during the
afternoon OF Nov. "a, following several
days bombardment rushing against
the trenches guarding the approach to
the southeast fort of the Keekwan
mountain group, the japanese artillery
In the meanwhile throwing all the
metal possible against the Rihlung
mountain and Antzu mountain forts.
The possession of the trenches was
stubbofnly contested. After five hours
fighting and several repulses the Japa-
nese drove out the Russians and de-
stroyed their trenches and succeeded
in entrenching themselves behind
sandbags, which the infantry carried.
At IL in the evening the Russians
made sortie, which the Japanese say
they repulsed after two hours fighting.
Another line of trenches more for
midable than the ones destroyed lies
between the Japanese and the forts.
