TUESDAY EVENING. NOV. IA. 1905.

SPECTATORS were given scare by
high rates for call money in New York
Yesterday, and the stock market suffered
in consequence. 1t WAS the first time
in over three years that there had been
anything like a panic in the money mar
ket. but it hit Wall street hard yester-
day. Before the market closed the rate
had gone to 25 per cent. OF course
stocks fell. Spectators carry securities
on call loans, and When the rates so up
they sell their securities and take up
their loans. The result is general
selling, and, of course, downward prices.
This operation in the stock market is all
that is generally seen, but it is not all
that happens. In spite of the best dis
position on the part OF banks to take
care Of their regular customers, high
rates for money and great restriction OF
loans are obviously injurious to general
business, and the conditions cannot con-
tinue long without grave inconvenience
and some losses. With rational cur
rency system, capable of responding to
the exceptional requirements of business,
money would not go tO.2O per cent. even
in the stock market.

Threatened Strike.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE energetic action
taken by NJ. Thomson, Minister of Ma
rine, in announcing to the employees of
the arsenals and dock yards who had
threatened to inaugurate q general strike
today that any workman who joined the
strike will he stricken from the govern
ment pay-rolls, has created the greatest
CONSERVATION among the laborers and
may result in the calling of OF the pro-
posed strike. Instead of beginning the
strike this morning the workmen de-
cided to hold another meeting to con-
slider the question of whether a strike
under the circumstances will really be
worth while. The agitators themselves,
who have been responsible for working
up the strike sentiment, realize the grav-
ity of the situation, and are hesitating
as to the course to be pursued. NJ.
Escartefu, the socialistic mayor of Toul-
on, has advised the senators and deputies
from that department that the strike will
assume a political character rendering
settlement almost impossible. In tele-
graphing TO this effect the mayor hoped
to make NJ. Thomson yield. out the lat
ter has not been moved from his position.
Large bodies of troops are being held
under arms at Brest, Cherbourg, Toulon,
L1rient, and Rochfort, to be prepared
loi any emergency. The soldiers are
under instructions, however, not to show
themselves on the streets except in case
of disturbances.
AT Lorient the strike was only par
tally successful. Two thousand men
went out, but of these more than three
hundred have returned to their places.
At Rochefort one thousand went out on
strike while more than 1000 remained
at work. At Brest, a number returned
to work this morning. Strikers stand
ing in the passage ways threatened and
cursed at the returning men, but con
hict was averted. At Cherbourg the
strike is fairly general. This morning
the striker made demonstration in the
Palace d'Armes. The red flag was
hoisted during the singing of revolution
ary songs.

DIR. F. w. GUNsAULUs, in announc-
ING to the Central Church congregation
in Chicago Sunday that Thanksgiving
services are to be held at the Auditorium,
took occasion to denounce the custom OF
playing football on the day of thanks
giving. He said:
"Let us combine the cross OF Christ
with the flag of oul country in the cele-
bration OF this day in sn Old-fashioned
way. beseech you, each one OF you, to
be here and by your presence set up a
protest against the spirit of commercial
ism and frivolty that is becoming too
prevalent on this holiday. 1t may be
some of you will stay away to attend the
football game-that disgrace to the hist
DRY of this day and the spirit of thanks
giving that is coming to be fought by
the preceptors and faculties of ourschools
and colleges"
1t may be safely predicted that the
reverend gentlemans appeal will not be
generally needed. as the cold fashioned
way" of observing Thanksgiving Day
does not suit the present generation.

Prohibition and Intemperance.

Mr.. Edward Mallory, representing
one of the largest furniture manufacture
ing firms in the country, is at the
Raleigh, in Washington, for few days.
He is homeward bound from an extern
s've business trip through the South,
and talks entertainiDgly of the wonderful
changes that have taken place in that
section within the last few years.
II have pretty thoroughly covered
the South Atlantic and Gulf States on
this trip" said Mr.. Mallory, (which is
the first in seven years, and am aston
ished at the great progress made by the
smaller towns aud cities in that compar-
atively brief period. There is a general
awakening of civic pride, and the former
muddy thorooghfares, plank walks and
unsanitary conditions have been super
seeded by well paved, severed, and cleo
trically lighted streets. In thought as
well as deed were changed conditions no
less discernble. Opinions on formerly
tabOoed political subjects we're invited
and discussed with a freedom. and, 10
view of the pasts bitter experiences, q
federation that was surprising.
"ln striking contrast to this pro-
gressive and enlightened spirit, how
ever is the wave of political p'ohibi-
ton agitation that seems to be sweeping
over that section, and which. Just at this
time, is at its height in Virginia and
the Carolinas. 1t is a singular feature
of the craze that the object sought--the
promotion of tempersnce--has had an
opposite result, for there is more drunk
enness under so-called prohibition than
ia tie days of the open saloon. One
cause of this is that beer, with its small
percentage Of alcohol, Is excluded by
reason Of its bulk, which makes it I'M
safe to surreptitiously banile, while
whisky, with a much larger percentage
OF alcohol, can be obtained anywhere
without risk. With my exceptional OPP
p0rtunities for observation, can safely
assert that prohibition down there means
nothing more nor less than promoting
the consumption of whisky, and mostly
bad whisky at that"

Verdict Set Aside.

Trenton, n. j., Nov. l4.--AmoDg the
decisions handed down in the Supreme
Court yesterday, was one by Justice
Reed setting aside the verdict of So, 600
obtained by Annie Oakley, the famous
rife shot, against the HOboken Observer,
for damages for printing a story sent out
from Chicago to the effect that the
voman was the victim of drugs, and had
been sent to Jail. Miss Oakley claimed
that the publication of the story resulted
in her illness, and consequent loss of
earning power. The supreme court in
its opinion lays down the rule that '1n
an action for libel or SANDER, damages
cannot be assessed for physical sickness
alleged to have been caused by the libel
or SANDER. "And in comment Judge Reed
says: 'Tn the present case the damages
resulting from physical sickness which
the jury was permitted to consider did
not stop with a mere compensation for
such physical pain and expenses for
medical treatment. | am of the opinion
that the damages for loss of earnings so
resulting, as well as for physical distress
are too remote" In Diminishing the as
sessment for damages the court notes
that the plaintiff admitted on trial alb
sence of actual malice.

SENATOR KNOX, of Pennsylvania,
will. is is said. largely manage Presi-
dent Roosevelt's fight in the Senate for
railroad rate regulation. This fact became
known in Washington yesterday and it
carried with it definite knowledge that
Senator Penrose' influence at the White
House has disappeared entirely. Com
ing 50 closely on the heels of the over
turn in Pennsylvania politics, this evil
dence of the Presidents trust in and re-
lance upon Senator Knox comes as a
snub for Senator Penrose. 1t means
that the latter is thoroughly discrediled
at the White House, and that in the fu-
ture the President viii look to Senator
Knox for advice and guidance upon all
matters of concern e6sc;:ng Pennsyl-
vania, just as he relies upon him in the
rate fight in the Senate.
