A special report from General Greeley has just been issued by the war department showing the part that the soldiers of the regular army played in the San Francisco earth quake and fire disaster. The report is an interesting one and gives the enlisted men of the army credit for the utmost tact and efficiency in their services during that trying period. General Greeley says that while the army has been trained strictly in the professional line of fighting and taking care of itself, 1t was found that the men and off, cers displayed immense adaptability and did work of all sorts. not only in policing but in assisting the Red Cross and other special lines that reflected the greatest credit on them.

There is a strong undercurrent of opinion that the Japanese are hunt ing trouble with this country in order to have pretext for seizing the Phil ippines, says Washington writer. Many people say they have been going around with chips on their shoulders ever since they whipped Russia, and inwardly they feel bitter to President Roosevelt for interfering and bringing about peace between their country and Russia at a time when they had Russia nearly to her knees. Japanese people now declare that if the president had not inter- fered they would have crippled Rus sia far more seriously than they did and obtained money compensation much in excess of what they did. Japanese opinion was recently in- famed against this country still fur ther by the killing of four or five Jap anese poachers in the seal islands of of Alaska and the arrest of a number of others. The tricky Japanese were hurt by the idea that some of their men were caught in acts of poaching and disregard of the laws of this country. Thousands of able men be- lieve that the ultimate purpose of Japan is to make trouble for the United States. and many of those men think that if the trouble is to come, now is the best time. following the war with Russia. If eight or ten years more elapse the Japanese will be still better prepared to combat the forces of this country. Feeling here and elsewhere is said to be growing fast, and the president is being quiet ly advised that he had better let the subject pass as quickly as possible.

There is of course a constant con test between commercial firms and the bureaus of the government en- gagged in productive work of any sort, as to which can turn out the best and most economical work. The re. suit is that there was a very spirited contest last week between outside firms, headed by the American Bank Note company and the bureau of en- graving and printing. as to which should get the contract from the post ofice department for printing the governments supply of stamps. The commercial company won out on the price much to the chagrin of the bureau. which not only did not like to be beaten on the price of the bid, but which holds it can turn out more and better work than any other in- stitution of it's sort Tn the world. Of course there is still some question as to whether the lower bid of the bank note company will be finally accept ed. but the company underbid the bureau on almost every variety Of stamp. For the ordinary postage stamps of all denominations. the company cut under the bureaus bid by two cents: the bureau wanting 57 cents per thousand for doing the work. There was even a greater diff ference on the special delivery stamps. the commercial company ask ing only 10 cents per thousand. while the bureau wanted 15.6. There will be one small variation in the new issue of stamps that will be of inter est to stamp collectors. For the twenty-six big offices of the country where the salary is se.0OO or over. the name of the office will be print ed on the stamp. This will not be the case with the 5.sT4 smaller of- fees. The object of this innovation is to reduce the likelihood of stamp robbery.

SHAW IS ANXIOUS.
Cut Short His Trip in Order to At.
 tend to Financial End.

Washington, D. C., Oct 29.-The money stringency is attracting con- siderable attention in administration circles, and the hurried visit of Sec retary Shaw. cutting short his cam paign tour, has awakened many ru- mors. Some fears are expressed that the country is on the eve of 1nan- cial panic. These fears are not well founded, and the present stringency can be accounted for in many ways. The criticism that has been so wide spread among American bankers of our existing currency system, the ty- ing up of so many millions in real estate, the heavy investments in min ing stocks, the inadequacy of the transportation facilities for handling the immense crops of the south and west, and the political campaigns now being waged, are all factors.
 If the doctrine of government ownership should spread to an ex- tent that it would become dominant factor in politics the probabilities are that all business conditions would be upset. and a period of unrest and uncertainty follow that might lead to crisis in the financial situation. Because of this the campaign now go- ing on in New York becomes of na- tional importance and interest and its progress is watched with deep con- cern here as elsewhere. It is possible the present situation will cause the president to discuss the need of new financial legislation in his message.
 It is even claimed that the verdict of the Ohio jury finding the Standard Oil company guilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade has had de- pressing influence on the money market, and adds to the causes pro ducing the present stringency. Wheth- CT this is true or not, it is very likely the verdict will have much to do in causing re-adiustment of many very large financial interests. operating great industries. The shifting that will thus be brought about will. no doubt, add to the financial complica- tions and delay the time of an easier. money market.
