journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
London, Nov. 25.-George R. Sims has
sounded note Of warning against the
latest measures taken for the relief for
the unemployed. Interviewed upon the
subject OF state aid, he said:
s'The demands of the, unemployed
may, up to a certain point, be received
with respectful sympathy. The suffer
ings and sorrows of the honest poor are
very real, and it will be an evil day
for the country when party, by max
ing political capital out Of industrial
distress, divides the masses and the
classes into hostile armies.
No Discrimination.
"But while we freely admit that
there are thousands of honest workers
who can find no work for their honest
hands to do, we must, in common fair
ness, if we insist that the state shall
step in and make the work. insist alsC
that the state shall not come to the res
cue of one class alone. If the workles'
artisan is to be supplied with task
by the state, why should the clerk out
of employment be left to starve?
EEThe question of the superior i'll
come does not arise in the clerk s case
A tramcar washer is paid as much a
many clerks and many schoolmaster
get. In some instances the tramca
washers are paid more than educated
workers get, even when employed b.

councils, who insist on a minimum rat
Of wage of 80 shillings week for roa

L0UBET IS NEAR
{. !. !: HIS | TERMS CLOSE
No One Yet Seriously Discussed
by Press as Next French
Is, t.: ~ President.
New York Herald Special Service.


Paris, Nov. 25.-The visits of the
kings of Spain and Portugal have cast
a farewell glamor over the last days OF
M. Loubet's presidency and the regret
with his retirement is increased by the
profound ignorance as to who his sue
cessor will be. ~" F.
Many men Of political renown have
been mentioned, but no one is yet serl-
ously discussed by the press. One thing
is certain, M. Doumer is much to the
front, thanks both to his own efforts
and those of his friends. He will have
on his side,, when the electoral congress
meets at Versailles, all the adversaries
Of the republic and certain number of
the radicals.
But the best section of the republi'
can party, all those, in fact, who have
directed the republic these last thirty
five years, are already supporting the
candidature of M. Failleres, first, be-
cause of sort of tradition that the
president Of the senate should become
the president of state, and second, and
especially, because M. Doumer is feared
because Of his marked personality.
AS no majority is yet formed, it IS
possible for the republicans to block
M. Doumer's way by asking NJ. ,Bour.
geois to become candidate, thus leav,
ing M. Doumer no chance, and it is
even possible that at the last moment
great effort will be made to force NJ
Loubet into a second term in spite OF
his reticence and his formal declara
tions. Should this happen, all the Other
| candidates will retire. In any case
the presidential crisis promises plenty
'of excitement. .~-. '- .-.e# .
The chamber meanwhile discusses the
budget and debates the pensions fol
workingmen. The more the latter ques
tions are discussed the more are danger'
found lurking therein. AS for the sen
ate, it will soon finish the debate ant
pass by considerable majority the bill
for the separation or church and state
such as was adopted by the lower house
The bishops and pope seemed disposed
to accept such action without protest

Official Call.
New York Herald Special Service.

New York Herald Special Service.
Paris Nov. 25.-The difference be-
tween an official, and unofficial visit of
royalty was strikingly illustrated this
week. 3 o....
King Alfonso came almost unher-
aided. He paid formal calls to the
president and went shooting at Ram
bullet presidential chasse, attended by
a small suite of few cuirasseurs.
On the very day that King Alfonso
left -unostentatiously, society put ON
gala dress; flags fluttered everywhere;
all the public and many private build
ings were decorated and the Rue de la
ing, the colors of Portugal everywhere
displayed in honor of the arrival OF
King Carlos. -.r. .-... .-a~g,.a .
Soldiers lined the Champs Elysee
and the avenues when the king, in state
with M. Loubet at his side and uni
formed dipomatists behind him, came
into the city surrounded by cuiras
seurs. The public paid no heed to AL
fonso. King Carlos was eacclaime(
everywhere by throngs in the street.
Thruout the usual few days of his
visit the Portuguese sovereign is being
feted by gala performances. dinners an(
state visits. Later he may return in
cognito, as he does nearly every year
to visit the automobile salon. The1
there will be no display no staring
crowd, no gala nights at the theater O.
opera.
: Only few months ago King Carlo
was here unofficially. He strollet
among the boulevards, dropping on
day into Gastinne Revettes. where h

He was then democratic and almost un

THE HUNTING FIELD
'aw York Herald special Service.


London, Nov. 25.-True to its tradi-
,tions, November has been prolific in dis
tressing accidents in the hunting field.
Colonel w. Lawson, with the Holderness
hounds, sustained a bad fall, which will
probably prevent him from hunting
again this season, and the popular hunts
man, E. Craig, when out with Lord
Bathurst IS hounds, got his leg broken
thru his horse stalking itself.
Captain Lee broke his leg with the
Southdown hounds; 0. G. Gibson broke

a fall with the Oakley hounds; Com

LONDON LONGING
FOR SKYSCRAPERS
American Builders Are Whetting
the British .Yearning for
Steel Structures.
New York Herald Special Service.

New York Herald Special Service.
London, Nov. 25.-R. A. DeweQ, of
the Waring & White Building company,
in response to a widely expressed re-
quest, has read a paper before the
Royal Institute of British Architects,
describing American steel constructed
buildings and comparing the American
with the British methods of building,
the idea being to give an impetus to the
movement for the revision Of the county
council building act, which prohibits
the erection Of lofty buildings in Lon
don and rules out steel as the basis of
building strength.
The question which architects and
builders, who have visited America, are
asking is, F'Why not build so-called sky
scrapers in London?' They do not see
why the United States should have the
monopoly Of what they regard as the
finest business buildings in the world.
If American methods, for instance
had been employed, the St. Bartholo
news hospital could have been rebuilt
on it's old site without the necessity OF
spending a fortune on new land.
Mr.. Dewell- said he believed forty
story sky scrapers could be built will
safety, but he did not think practica
commercial building would 60 beyond
twenty stories.
The cost of building supported OF
steel stanchions was about one-third o:
one built on brick piers and ther was al
enormous saving in floor space.
English building methods fill Amer
leans with laughter.
B. X. Thwaite, well-known Englisl
engineer, who has thoroly studied Amer
lean methods, said:
.sNot long ago G. T. Purdy, one o
the leading steel frame constructors il
America, was at a Westminster windoy
overlooking a government buildin
which had been gradually rising in re
cent years, when he was told how lon
/ the work had even then taken. Th
American broke into laughter and dc
clared that he could have put up a build
ing equally as strong on the steel fran
q principle in as many months as tn
I Westminster buildings were takin

London, Nov. 25.-There has been "a
good deal of correspondence in the
yachting press lately concerning the de.
cline Of yachting, and comparisons have
been freely drawn between the sport
of the last season and that of the early
eighties To the controversy Francis
H. Cooke, a writer Of authority on the
subject, contributes an article to. the
Pail Mall Gazette in which he says:
"There is no getting away from the
fact that yachting is in sorry state,
for class racing, which is the creme de
la creme of the sport, is now represent.
ed by nothing larger than yachts OF
fifty-two linear rating and there can
be but little doubt that the cause of
the whole matter is excessive cost.

Paris, Nov. 25.-The weather this
week has been abominable. That is the
only word that fits the fact. There has
been snow, sleet, wind, rain and cold.
There was only one clear day. That was
on Wednesday, when King Carlos rode
into Paris.
This weather is driving Parisians to
the Riviera and other more hospitable
climes. Naturally many here are com

new 1ork herald special service, A.
London, Nov. 25.--Tho it may not be
a social function like that Of the Paris
salon is, the automobile show, which
concluded at Olympia today proved a
tremendous attraction to society people,
who crowded the building in which the
exhibition was held from the opening to
the close. The sales have been enormous
and it is estimated that orders amount
ing in value to $5,OOO,O0O were booked.
This calculation was mede by Claude
Johnson, former secretary Of the auto
club. There were three hundred exhib-
itors and any firm would, Mr.. johnson
thought, be disappointed if it did not
book orders worth $4,000, which would
make total of 81 500, 900, but $5,0o0,-
