GoTERNMLNr AND OIL TRUST
Rumors That Parent Company Is to be
 Proceeded Against.

New York. Oct 25.-Rumors were cir culated in Wall street to-day to the eff feet that Attorney General Moody was about to bring action against the Stand ard oil company looking toward the dissolution of the parent company in New Jersey. It was stated in this con- nection that the Standard oil officials were working night and day on a plan that would prevent the business from becoming demoralized if Attorney Gen. eral Moody's suit proved successful 1t was rumored that in addition to the London company another concern had recently been organized in California as part of the general plan of defense.
 1t has generally been supposed that the government would attack the Standard oil company in connection with the interstate business transacted between companies already incorporated in different states For that reason some doubt was expressed as to the all legged movement of the Standard Oil company to shift responsibility from the holding company to concerns incor- porated in different states In spite of such doubts, however, 1t was confident ly believed in certain quarters to-day that action was about to be brought by the government against the parent con- cern in New Jersey.

STRONG TONE OF MODERATION
All Parties Bent on Consolidation on
 British Educational BilI.

London, Oct. 26.-A strong tone of moderation and conciliation character ized the debate in the house of lords yesterday on the education bill Lord Goschen, the Archbishop of Canterbury and all the other speakers of promi- hence advocated spirit of justice to all the parties in the controversy. The Archbishop of Canterbury in particular stoutly declined to be d party to mere 'wrecking amendments" The dlyines speech disposed entirely of the rumor, recently current, that he had arranged compact with the premier, but the present temper of the house of lords seems to leave an opening for com promise. This spirit of conciliation is reciprocated by the governments or gans this morning, which. while they regard the amendments handed in yes terday by opposition peers as unaccept- able, are inclined to consider them as bargaining amendments"

Notable Feature Presence Of Portable
 Wireless Telegraph Oppnratus.
 Changtefu, Oct. 25.-A notable fea- ture of the autumn manoeuvres of the Chinese imperial army, which began last Monday in the neighborhpod of Changtefu has been the presence in the field of a portable wireless tele- graphy apparatus, carried upon light wagons, and so adjusted that it can be erected in less than thirty minutes. These stations were operated by Chi nese officers belonging to the telegraph corps.
 The manoeuvres came to an end yes terday, with victory for the northern army At a village five miles south of Changtefu this army succeeded in checking the advance of the southern army. The manoeuyres began With cavalry operations followed on Wednesday by artillery practice. All arms displayed excellent discipline. Ex- perienced military observers are of the opinion that with the exception of cer- Nctttl ullilOI uCltGto anu llldhltlS dllOW- anee for the fact that these operations were an experiment, the manoeuvres were almost equal to those conducted in European countries.
 The artillery and the principal equip ment of the troops were manufactured in Japan. The northern army un- dcubtedly was better clothed and equipped than the southern. It also displayed better organization and had more efficient advisers.
 To-day the proceedings came to an end with grand review of both ar mics, including all branches, at the conclusion of which Yuan Shi Kai, commander in chief of the troops. in vited the foreign observers to lunch. It is estimated that the manoeuvres cost five hundred thousand dollars.

 -$2O,OOO to Thwart win of People
 Bridgeport, Oct. 25.--In a speech here tonight at Warner hall before large audience Congressman George l.. Lilley. of Waterbury, replied to recent attacks on his congressional record and also to statements made by Samuel Gompers and Charles ]. Donahue, his opponent for the office of congressman-at-la large. MT. Lilley said:
 Although many of my friends In the labor organizations have advised me to make no reply to the attacks that have been made upon me on the grounds that my record speaks for itself and will not be misunderstood by any intel ligent citizen. 1t seems to me proper that I should correct such false impress sions as may have been imparted by my opponent and his supporters as sume that none of them would wilfully or maliciously misrepresent me as I have been misrepresented. It is irn- portant that in the selection of any rep resentative the voters should know the truth, and nothing but the truth"
 Mir. Lilley reviewed his trouble with Mir, Gompers and said that 1t was due to his failure to pledge himself to vote for certain bills which MT. Gompers fa- vored
 T submit,' he said, that no self-re- spectlng legislator, or one with full realization of the responsibilities upon him, could bind himself to-any special legislation.
 As jealously as I should do my part to safeguard the welfare of the tobacco industry, the iron industry or the brass industry, which are so important to the prosperity of Connecticut l could not and would not pledge myself in ad- vance to any measure they might see fit to bring forth, but should insist upon considering with care and conscience every proposed measure upon its merits when presented, and with an eye to it's effect upon the varied interests of my state. To this stand, and to this alone, l pledge myself. I cannot make 1t too explicit or emphatic-and 1 do so with out any qualification whatsoever-tha I am absolutely free from any such ob- lgatlon, because I have never taken a penny from any source to aid my elec- tion."
 Referring to Charles J. Donahue, the democratic candidate for congressman- at-large, Mir. Lilley said: 'The last man on Gods footstool who should ac- cuse me of favoring corporations is Charles J. Donahue, of Derby. He and I served together in the lower house in the year 1901. During that session one of the most memorable contests in the history of this or any other state was fought out.

JAPAN'S INTERNAL FINANCES
Keynote of People is Caution-EmpIoy-
 ment of Foreign Capital.

London, Oct 25.-Mr. Takahashi, the special financial agent of the Japanese government in an interview to-day on the internal finances of Japan and the situation regarding foreign capital there, said.
 "The keynote of our people in the matter of finance is caution. We are not going to repeat the mistakes we made after the Chino-J Japanese war of embarklng upon fresh undertakings in volving large capital thoughtlessly or carelessly. Our main object is rather to consolidate and amalgamate existing interests than to embark upon fresh ventures"
 Regarding the employment of for eign capital in Japan the financial agent said:
 "One of the drawbacks is the pres ence in Japan of many so-called syndi- eates or capitalists, who soon prove themselves to be neither the one nor the other, but merely contract seekers anxious to get their commission. The present bank rate in New York and London and on the continent is so high that the Japanese find it less trouble and cheaper to get their money at home"

REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT.
Vessel In Communication With Steamer
 from Honduras to New York.

Washington, Oct. 25.-A remarkable achievement in wireless telegraphy is reported to the navy department from the Pensacola station. This plant has been able to keep in constant commu- nication with the United Fruit O. s steamer Preston from the time that vessel left New York until it arrived at Honduras. The station also re- ceived messages from the Preston while she was entering New York har- bor, where she was undoubtedly bathed in electric waves from other stations and ships. A curious fact Is that the Pensacola station has not been able to repeat this performance with any oth- CT steamer than the Preston, notwith- standing the fact that the plants are alike on ali the United Fruit liners.
