Though Henry James, the novelist, lives
abroad, he is very faithful to America, and
very proud of his fellow countrymen.
At the Athenaum, of which classic club
he is a member, Mr.. James dined one
evening with Joseph Chamberlain.
Mr.. James praised the English highly
during dinner. He praised their dress,
their manners, their country life, and even
their climate.
Mr.. Chamberlain listened to this praise
attentively and gratefully. At the end he
said, expecting a compliment for Great
Britain:
''Mr. James, if you were not an Ameri-

"If were not an American" Mr.. James
answered promptly, cpd want to be one.n

pfODaule that congress VIII OVerrule our objections to joint statehood and pass the joint statehood measure at the next session there of. We had as we'll, therefore. be- gin preparations for a vigorous campaign against the adoption of a constitution. As the campaign must be an educational and non- partisan one we cannot commence the work too early. Florence Blade.
 The Blade is correct in some particulars but away off in many more. Not only is it probable that the Hamilton bill will pass Congress next winter, but it is quite certain. Then when it comes to campaign for adoption of constitution the educational pro- cess will be all the other way than the one the Blade is looking, When the people come to study modern state constitution and contrast herewith the obsolete, antiquated, rigid and inelastic organic act of the Territory of Arizona, they will be apt to be found voting for adop- ton of the constitution. When they realize that the territorial organic act as one in the framing of which they had no voice, and cannot amend no matter how much they wanted to do it, and realize that the constitution pro- posed is an instrument of their own handiwork, which they can amend at will, they will be apt to stand for the constitution
 The prediction is here ventured that it will be very like the elec- tion M California upon adoption of the constitution of 1879. All the great financial, monetary and transportation interests of Califor- nia opposed adoption, as did all or nearly all the newspapers In San Francisco there was but one of the great dailies-the Chronicle-which supported the new instrument; and throughout the state the newspapers which advocated adoption could be count ed on the fingers of mans two hands. All the noise and all the shouting was on one side-that opposed to the constitution; and when the polls closed the man. agers of the opposition to adoption declared the proposed fundamental law was defeated. but when the votes were counted out of the ballot boxes it was found that the in- strument had received tremem- dous majority. The people had been in a campaign of education"
 -such as the Bade suggests. They had contrasted the proposed new fundamental law with the one it 1 superseded, and found that the new one gave them more power and made their chosen servants more readily responsive to their demands.

Liverpool did it's full share today to- wards sustaining advancing prices. Our early adviees indicated that the market had the appearance of being sold out and later cables attributed the improve ment to the Giles estimate. At the close options showed an advance of points. ana spot quotations unchanged on sales Of 5000 bales
 Our session was of the rest cure species moderate advance at the opening oonse- quent upon the excellence of the Liver pool market and a partial loss of the im- proVement on continued scattered liquida- ton about covered the price movement
 Crop estimates were LOO numerous to attract more than casual attention Miss Giles figures alone receiving serious con sideration, but attracted little If any sup port.
 In New Orleans spot department a de- hcieney in demand Is noted, and while some sections of the adjacent interior are selling less freely. from others slight concessions are being made. This in itself would be sufficient to indicate that some recession in contract values is in order were it not that these conditions are rather local than general on account of the higher price maintained here. and the business is being done from the chslper ports.
 Prior to the bureau. further adjustment or accounts may occasion fluctuations of moment but current prices appear fully Justified, provided the crop Is no larger than the figures given by the more promi- nent estimators, and we continue to be- lieve that there will be opportunities to advantageously dispose of cotton acquired on weak periods.

MOST IF THE GAIN
 LOST BY COTTON Market Was Comparatively
 Quiet Yesterday SALES WERE 300,00O BALES
Members of Liverpool Cotton Exchange Estimate the Crop at 1o,653,oo0 Bales, and Other Esti-
 mates Vary Widely.

New York, November 29.-The cotton market was comparatively quiet and with usual pre-holiday caution in evidence, transactions seeming to be largely of an evening-up character. Sales for the day were estimated at 9O0,O0O bales. and prices after sharp opening advance lost most of the gain. The close was at a net advance of 3g6 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 11G19 points in response to much higher cables than expected, and a bullish esti- mate of the crop by local authority who placed 1t at 1O,s10,00o. This attracted some demand but the bulge was followed by a renewal of yesterdays movement to take profits for long account, and in spite of less favorable weather in the south lead ing expectations of light receipts next week the market gradually eased off to prac- tically the closing figures of yesterday. Toward the close covering by room shorts caused-eslight rallies, and the final tone was very steady. Members of the Liver pool cotton exchange estimate the crop at 10, 76S, ,000 bales on the average. Mem bers of the New York cotton exchange estimate 1t at 10,65s,000 bales on the aver age. individual estimates running from 9727, ,056 bales to 11,600.000 bales.
 Receipts at the ports today 4S.50S against 7,174 last week, and 62,99S last year. For the week (estimated) 350,0o0 against 391, 900 last week and 7.267 last year.
 Todays recipts at New Orleans 12,3S6 bales against 30,169 last year, and at Houston IA i0S against 1o,35s last year.

Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

The strength displayed by Liverpool this morning was unexpected and our early prices were 12 to 13 points higher The only real strength here. however. was shown around the opening, for longs seem eager to take advantage of the little improvement to sell out again. Lit tic bears had been so thoroughly weeded out by the advance of ginners day and the bear leader having succeeded in cov- ering his big line, leaves the market without the support which usually comes from a short interest. As a result only q moderate amount of profit taking by longs was sufficient to soften prices. which at one time was IA points below the opening. A little rally before the close as might have been expected Just before holiday leaves last prices about two to four points higher than yesterday
 Traders have been light. and in fact, q holiday market really prevailed through out the greater part of the session. The estimate of Miss Giles, 10.1Sl. GOO bales. was In measure offset by the estimate of the members of the Memphis, Liver- pool and Savannah and New York ex- changes which crystalize around 10,IO0,- 600 as A general average.
 So much has been said of late of the possibility of a bureau crop in the neigh borhood of 10000 GOO. that some believe a crop estimate of 1025o,000 has been al ready discounted and that the market would not advance much even on such a low basis.
 There is nothing on the horizon tonight to suggest any sensational developments over the holiday. Liverpool is due l to 9 points lower.

assertions of passing of control Of nat ional lead also persisted and the move mert of cotton oil and Virginia Carolina chemical were coupled with talk of an in- tended merger. St. Paul derived no benefit from the announced plan for the exten- sion to the Pacific coast.
 The lack of subscription to the com pany's treasury stock was a disappoint- ment to some of the recent speculative buyers. and the general policy Of the ex- tension did not seem sufficiently attrac- tive to offset this disappointment. Some weakness in Northern Pacific and Great Northern preferred was attributed to the effect of this threatened rivalry, but Union Pacific, the most active stock among the trans-continental lines, showed some resistance to the heavy undertone of the market. With the Thanksgiving holi- day coming on the last day of the month, preparations for the December settle ments made themselves felt in the money market today. The shifting of accounts incident to the preparations resulted in running the call money rate up to per cent. The days report of sub-treasury operations showed losses to that institu- tions extended to nearly s3, ,500.000 for the week and New York exchange and Chi cago hung at par today, marking the subsistence of the cash movement from the center. The nOlludy interNdl Hdl some effect in prompting the closing out of the speculative commitments. The stormy weather in the northwest and the ,hindrance to railroad traffic was taken into consideration in view of the serious congestion already existing. The move ment in Almalgamated copper was in re- sponse to the continued rise in the price of it's product. The declaration of an- other 10 per cent extra dividend on Lack awanna was regarded as explanatory of the extraordinary price level at which that stock has been held, but Its general effect was not discernible. The unsettle- ment was accentuated in later dealings by the furry in the call money and St. Paul's decline of 24 in the last hour had considerable influence on sentiment.
