Imperial Bank of Germany's
Advance, Further Evidence OF
This Determination
STOCK DEPLETED INDIRECTLY
American Engagements at Other Eu-
ropean Money Markets Have Result
cd in Large German Exports Of Gold
to England and Holland - Steady
Tendency Back to Normal.

New York, Nov. S.-The advance In
the discount rates of the Imperial Bank
Of Germany from 81. to 7la per cent,
announced today from Berlin. is fur
ther evidence Of the determination Of
European money centers to protect
their gold stocks against depletion by
the United States. Only small part
of the recent American gold engage
ment has been taken recently from
Germany, but the German stock of gold
has been depleted indirectly, as Amer
lean engagements at other European
money markets have resulted in large
exports of gold to England and Hol-
land. American gold engagements all
ready placed in Europe, approximate
$40,000,000, SO the present increases in
foreign bank rates do not operate as
seriously as they might have done
during the early days of the money
stringency. About $20.00O,000 in gold
has already reached New York, in
Guiding the Lusitanias stock Of $12,-
100000, brought ashore today. Aside
from the gold movements, the financial
situation shows an absence of notable
developments, and a steady tendency
back to normal conditions.

BELIEVE CRISIS HAS PASSED.
Treasury Officials Swamped With Or
ders for Greater Bank Circulation.

Treasury Officials Swamped With Or
ders for Greater Bank Circulation.
Washington. Nov. S.-There is not
iceable congestion in the treasury de-
partment In handling the securities Of
fered by banks in substitution for gov
ernment bonds now being deposited as
security for additional circulation.
Correspondence on the subject is all
most unprecedented, and altho the Of
ficials apply themselves unremittingly
to the work until late at night, the
volume of work increases rather than
diminishes. The amount of additional
national bank notes being shipped is
daily increasing, and the treasury
officials are greatly encouraged in the
belief that the crisis in the money
stringency has passed and that grad
ual relaxation in the tension that has
existed for three weeks may confident
ly be expected.
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting today Secretary Cortelyou
stated that discussion of the financial
situation had occupied an important
place during the session, but he said
there was nothing to be given out be-
yond the fact that the treasury depart
ment is doing everything in it's power
to relieve the situation, and that con-
ditions seemed to be improving, par
ticularly in New York, which fact
he indicated, would result in relief in
every section.

DRUCE MYSTERY CASE
American T.stifies in Famous Hearing
at London That He Knew the Ec-
centric Late Duke of Portland in
His Alleged Dual Personality.

London. Noy. S.-Hundreds Of peo-
pie yainly fought for admjttance to
the Marylebone police court today.
when the hearing of the famous Druce
mystery case was resumed.
Herbert Druce, son of the late Thom-
as Charles Druce, is charged with per-
jury by his nephew, George Hollamby
Druce. The charge is incidental to
the Druce claim to the estates of the
Duke of Portland, and dates back to
1893. At every step the case has been
vigorously contested by the present
Duke Of Portland.
In brief, this remarkable case cen
ters about the old question Of whether
Thomas Charles Druce at one time the
owner Of the famous Baker street ba-
.zaar, who was said to have died three
years ago, was or was not the same
person as the eccentric fifth Duke Of
Portland, who died in 1879. Robert
Caldwell, of Richmond, N. Y, testified
today that he knew the late Duke of
Portland, both as duke and as T. G..
Druce, at Welbeck Abbey, and at the
Baker street bazaar. Caldwell treated
the duke at both places for disease Of
the nose. Caldwell swore that in con-
junction with the duke he ar
ranged the death and mock funeral Of
"Druce"so that his dual personality
could be finally buried, and declared
that at the dukes request, he employed
a carpenter to make a coffin, and pur-
chased 200 pounds Of lead and put it
in the coffin himself. The funeral oc-
Cured the following day. When shown
two photographs, Caldwell declared
that they were photographs Of the
Duke of Portland in the character Of
T. C. Druce. Asked to account for the
beard shown in one of the photoz
graphs. the witness replied that he
had seen the duke wear false beard,
and had even seen him take it off.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW
Financial strinsency's Depressing Ef-
feet Less Severe in Some Sections
Of tho Country Than others-6ank
Clearing. Reflect Restriction.

New York. Nov. s.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say: Bank clearings re-
fleet the restriction in settlements thru
the banks, the total exchanges this
week at all the leading cities In the
United States being s2,141,2s7,313, or
20 per cent less than last year, and
1876 per cent less than in the cores
ponding week of 1905. There Is a loss
at nearly every city, compared with
last year. The loss at New York still
reflects stock market conditions to
some extent. At some cities in the
west the loss is small. Dispatches to
the Review indicate that trade condi-
tions are irregular, conflicting reports
being received from different parts of
the country. 1t is certain that the
financial stringency is having de-
pressing effect, but less severe In some
sections than others. 3te

Stock Market Not Affected.

New York, Nov. s.-The stock mar
ket here ignored the lower quotations
for Americans, sent over from London
before the opening here, and which
were due to the advance in the dis
count rate Of the Imperial Bank Of
Germany. There were sales at de-
cline in a few inactive stocks.
Transactions in stocks gained in VOL
ume and strong upward movement in
prices ensued. The operations bore
more resemblance to- the usual specula-
tive transactions on the margin, than
at any time since the period of dis
turbances. Union Pacific, Reading and
Pennsylvania were conspicuous for
their activity, and gained 8 to 3As.
The market closed weak, and the
weak cash exchange gave little en-
couragement for assuming any con-
siderable repair Of the deficit in the
bank reserves. Prices ran off between
I and points. Quite substantial net
gains remained in most cases, even at
the reduced prices.

Wi paw Respects to Royalty.

Viii Pay hesPects 10 noya'eJ.
Berlin, Nov. s.Emperor William liam
will see Secretary Taft at Osborne
House, Isle Of Wight, during the for
mer's visit to Engand. A message
conveying this wish was sent thru the
German embassy at washington. 1t is
regarded as likely that Taft will seek
an audience with King Edward, as for
the American secretary Of war to vislt
the German emperor on British soil
without paying an equivalent respect
to the king might be regarded as dis
courteous.
So much has been said about Tart
planning to see the emperor that some
other governments have seemingly be-
come curious in regard to whether
anything is intended by the step taken
by the American government Ambas-
sadors Bryce and Juseserand, It Is as
serted, already have made inquiries on
the subject At the state department
In Washington it is further asserted
that there is feeling at the foreign
offices in London and Paris that TAFT
would be sighting King Edward and
President Fallieres IL he did not ask to
see them, or il he stopped only at st.
Petersburg and Berlin while on the
way back to the United States.

vene next Tuesday when ore gu
ments in cases from Allama. Palo
Alto, will be heard. The : nesday
following there will be NJ argu-
ments from Kossuth, Clay. lena Vis-
ta Dickinson, Emmett focahontas,

tamie Cass, Shelby. Fremont, Mills;
Friday from Crawford, Carroll, CAL
houn, Greene, Ida.
The only case that has ever at
tracted attention over the state in
those set down for the week is that
of b. l. salinger against the Western
Union, in which the supreme court on
the first appeal held that Salinger
could not collect his travelling expenses
on the railroad when he was riding on
a pass. Salinger has asked for a re-
hearing.
The supreme court has promulgated
an amendment to an old rule in regard
to placing cases on the docket. The
new rule is as follows:
Ordered that section 70 of the rules
of this court as heretofore in force be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 10 The cause shall be placed
on the docket for hearing on the first
day of the next period commencing
not less than twenty days after the
filing of the petition and service there
of. If the party applying for re-
hearing shall give notice OF oral ar
gument in his petition. both parties
shall be entitled to be heard orally
unless the petitioner waive oral argu-
ment. (Code, Sec. 4149, Old Rules,
Sec. 64.)
And it is further ordered that the
foregoing amendment apply to petit
tions for rehearing in cases in which
opinions are filed after November 4,
1907.
Major Parker, of Sac City, who
claims that a shinanagan game was
worked on him in the recent guard
election for colonel of the Fifty sixth
regiment, beating him out of the Of
tice, has made no formal charges of
illegality or irregularity Unless he
does the office of the adjutant general
will do nothing but canvass the re-
turns in the regular way. The de-
partment has already done this and
has discovered that two votes were
permitted that were not allowable. One
of these had failed to re-enlist on the
expiration Of the term but no doubt
voted thinking that his term had not
expired. One other voted illegally.
But the Fort Dodge company was
found to have enlisted eighteen men
after the order for the election had
been made which is contrary to the
rules of the department. The rule Is
that after an order has been made
calling an election no person can be
enlisted till after the election is over
with. Eighteen were enlisted at Fort
Dodge. These votes thrown out do not
affect the results of the election In
any way and Major Chantland will
still be the colonel Of sthe Fifty sixth.
But if Major Parker should care to
do 1t he might cause the captain OF
the Fort Dodge company considerable
trouble and possibly his dismissal from
the service by preferring charges. Ii
he should do so the captain would be
<r;od for disnbedience of orders.

RAILWAYS KILL 5000 in YEAR.
Number o. Passengers Losing Lives
on American Roads Increases.

Washington, Nov. S.-The interstate
commerce commission bulletin on acci-
dents on railroads Of the United States
during the year ending June 80 last
shows the total casualties to have been
lS1, 1856, or 5000 persons killed and Is,
2s6 injured. This shows an increase
OF 1882 casualties, or us in the killed
and 9,677 in the injured, as compared
with the previous year. The bulletin
says:
.Thei number of passengers killed
and injured in collisions and derail-.
ments has increased to an alarming
degree. In this item the large total
reported in 1905 is now exceeded by IL
per cent. The comparative smallness
of the increase in casualties due to
coupling and uncoupling cars, and in
accidents to men on the tops of freight
cars, is undoubtedly due in large meas
ure to Improvement in the mainten-
ance and care of automatic couplers.
