SHAW DELIVERS TALK ON

New YORK NOV. lD.---rne 4ov.n 49,
nual dinner Of the New York Chamber
OF Commerce was held at Delmonico's.
The design Of the menu was devised
to show by comparison the great
change which has taken place in ma
rine architecture since the 18th century.
At the top was a representation Of tho
ship Bristol chartered for London,
January II, 1858, owned by John
Harms Cruger, a member Of the cham
ber Of commerce, and below It the
steamship st. Louis. of the American
line.
The speakers Of the evening were
Leslie M. Shaw, secretary Of the treas
ury; the Right Hon. John Morley,
M. p; Richard Olney and Sir James
Kitson, M. p. President Morris X.
Jesup presided
Secretary Shaw, in response to the
sentiment "Watchman, what of the
hour?" said in part;
THE country has safely passed
through a presidential campaign with
less commercial and financial disturb
ances than ever before in our history.
The result was foreseen and discount
ed, and November simply verified the
expectation OF all or nearly all. Money
is now plenty and cheap, crops are
abundant prices good, labor finds
ready employment, furnaces are aglow
and hope is buoyant. II clouds exist
they do not show above the horizon.
Remembering the recent past our peo-
pie are not likely to soon again lose
their poise or to assume that the as
cending scale of prices has no limit OF
safety. II hopeful conservatism shall
possess the country there is no visible
reason to doubt that we are approach
ing a period, not of imitation, but OF
unequalled growth and sound and sane
and safe development. II is unneces
sary in this presence to warn against
reckless optimism or timid pessimism
That we may be saved from either OF
these extremes should be our prayer,
our aim and our constant and united

men here are much concerned over a
report, seemingly authoritative. that
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West

also related that when the architects
were asked to draw plans for the
power house now building in Scranton,
Pa, which will operate the electrical
signal system. it was impressed upon
them that, they must plan so that an
immense addition might easily be
made to allow for the installation Of a
mammoth power plant, presumably to
operate the road with electricity.

General stoesseI In Hospital.

Headquarters of the Third Japanese
Army before Port Arthur. Nov. is,
via Fusan--It is reported that wound
received by General Stoessel has ne
ceSsitated his confinement in a hospi-
tai. that he refused to relinquish the
command Of the garrison, and that he
has issued orders TO the troops TO die
at their posts rather than surrender.
II Is said that the spirit Of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by con-
tinuous work, the lack Of supplies and
the hopelessness Of their ability to
make any successful defense OF the
fortress. It is said further that many
OF the Russian soldiers are ready to
surrender. but that they are kept at
their posts by officers, who threaten
them with revolYers, and that several
soldiers who were suspected Of a de-
sire TO desert have been shot as n
warning to others. The Japanese now
believe that the garrison has almost
reached the limit Of human endur-
ance.
Spies and Russians who have sur
rendered report that ratioHs in the for
tress have been reduced. The wounded
found by the japanese are emociated.
Russian artillery shells are made
partly Of wood and DO not explode.

RAILWAY EMPLOYE
FOUND DEAD IN CAR

Doylestown Pa, Nov Is. -- Dead.
with a bullet hole in his left temple
and another through the right hand,
Walter suber, young man OF %, en-
ployed by the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway company as a yard watch
man, was found lying across the over
turned seats in an empty passenger
coach
The wounds, the condition Of the
seats in the car and other evidence
shows that a desperate struggle took
place before the murdered man was
overpowored and slain. A 3S-calibre
bullet was found imbedded in the
woodwork OF the car just above the
body, and the weapon itself was found
under a seat near by.
The dead man was doubtless the vic
tim OF one OF more thieves, who slew
him in order TO rob him. Suber drew
HIS pay and always wore a gold watch
and a gold scarf pin. When found, his
watch and pin were gone, and a single
penny was the only money left on his
person.
