OPTIMISTIC TONE.
 IN GENERAL TRADE Better Feeling Prevails In the
 Manufacturing Centers
| WAVE OF OISTRUST RECEDES
Declines Come In Many Lines and Price Adjustment Is Considered Necessary-Business Slowly
 Regains Confidence.

New York. November s-Bradstreet' S tomorrow will say:
 Good progress has been made in ac- commodating the country to the changed financial conditions, this, too, with strik- ingly little friction, considering the scar city of currency and the widespread sub stitution of credit instruments for actual cash.
 At the same time wholesale and jobbins trade has quieted perceptibly, and the disposition in industrial lines has been to curtail the production, the aim being to avoid accumulations of stocks. There is, in fact, a rather more optimistic tone pre- vailing this week than last, the out growth of the better feeling at the east, the large arrivals of gold from Europe and the idea that basic condition, both as regards the purchasing power of the people and the absence of large stocks. are better than in some proceeding years of stress
 There is, 1t is true, increasing evidence that the level of commodity prices has been forced unreasonably high and that readjustment of prices will compel num-
  of iron and other metal prices, the fur ther decline in cereals and the sharp falling off of live stock quotations are taken as an earnest of revisions In other lines yet to come. From two sections the northwest and the south, complaints are numerous that the absence of cash prevents the movement of wheat and cotton to market; but the country-w wide issuance of bank and corporation checks in small denominations has eased the cur rency situation greatly. The domestic eX- change markets are much more settled and the general acceptance of credit in- struments is expected to allow necessary business being done pending readjust- ment of the volume of business to supply current capital. Collections are rather slower, but the runs on the various finan- cial concerns are apparently thing of the past, failures are not so important as in either of the proceeding two weeks and the wave of dstrust has perceptibly subsided.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending November number 225 against 223 last week and 146 in the like week of 1906; Canadian failures num- bered 34, as against 20 last week and 3S in 1906.
 Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the wek ending November ' aggregate 5,4S9, 59S bushels, against 4,792,394 last week and 4,150S11 in 1906.
 Corn exports for the week are I'll ,501 bushels against 666,340 bushels last week and S70s24 in 1906.
 For the fiscal year to date the exports are 1S,077,sH bushels, against 1s,4ss,oSS in 1906-07.

FINAL RECEPTION
 GIVEN ID TAFT. War Secretary Bids Goodbye to
 the FiIipinsS RETURN TRIP UNCERTAIN Taft Cannot Visit One European Ruler Without Visiting Another, So He
 May Cut Them All
 Out Entirely.
RETURN TRIP UNCERTAIN

Manila, November S.--A brilliant fare well reception was given to Secretary Taft tonight at the residence of Gov ernor General Smith. It was eharac- terized by extreme democracy, rep resentatives of nearly every class of res idents of Manila being present. Secre- tary Taft and wife were greeted prac- tically by everyone in attendance.
 The secretary's last day in Manila was marked by many busy features. He re- ceived and conferred with many promi- nent Filipinos, heads of bureaus, mem- bers of committees, business men and delegations from various provinces and cities. He told one delegation which was petitioning for free trade of sugar and tobacco to send representative men as delegates to Washington to help the fight in Congress to secure tariff con sessions. After conference with Gen eral Gomez regarding political matters, he referred to that well known agtator as a good friend,
 The indications are that the protests against seating Gomez will beAf no avail as a canvass of the assembly has dis closed the fact that only two membess are opposed to giving him the seat te which he was elected

Taft's Plans Confusino

Washington, November 8.-So much has come from foreign capitals concerning Secretary Taft's tour of the world that officials of the war and state depart ments are becoming confused concern ing the schedule. It is not believed, however, that the Secretary of War has sought an interview with any European ruler. It las been stated officially and reiterated that MT. Taft is not on a dip lomatic mission to Europe and has no official business to transact for the United States at any European capital
 The itinerary for the trip was arranged before Secretary Taft left Washington and so far as is known in either the state or war departments the only change that has been made is the delay of one week at Manila and the consequent de- lay of the same length of time at other points where he originally intended to stop. Before he left Washington the Secretary had been invited to stop at St. Petersburg and Berlin to meet the Czar of Russia and the Emperor of Germany. No other invitations had at that time been received. The large amount of business which demanded the secretary's long stay in Manila and the press of business which awaits him in Washington, raises grave doubts in the minds of officials hero whether he will have time in Europe to meet any of the SOVefelRnS. 1T II were poSslple TOT nm to meet Emperor William at Berlin, it is believed the secretary would stop. As pointed out by the Berlin dispatch, how ever, there is danger of European sov- ereigns feeling that they had been slight ed if the secretary should discriminate inFfavor of any of the capitols
 There is no disguising the fact that officials of the state department would prefer that Secretary Taft's trip through Europe should be made without him en- gazing in any court functions. There Is no disposition on the part of Presi- dent Roosevelt or Secretary Root, &C., cording to information obtainable on this subject, to interfere in any manner with Taft's wishes, but it Is felt that he can not visit one court and not others, with out jeopardizing the friendship of the United States with those governments, As he cannot see them all it is believed here that he will not visit any, unless 1t is the Czar of Russia.

IS MADE RECEIVER
 FOR SEVERAL PLANTS
HENRY E. WARNER / TAKES CHARGE OF COTTON MANUFAC- TURING PLANTS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR ASSETS.

Pittsfiela Mass, November S.-An- nouncement was made that Henry E. Warner, who on Wednesday was appoint ed receiver for the Arnold Print Works of North Adams, has been appointed re- ceiver for the Williamstown Manufact- uring company of Williamstown, Mass, and of the firm of Gallup & Houghton of North Adams. Both concerns were affiliated with the print works and with the North Pownall Manufacturing com pany of North Pownall, Vt, which yes- terday passed into the hands of MT. Warner
 About 5000 persons are employed in these mills. The mills involved are the Eclipse, directly under the management of the Arnold Print Works and employ ing 1500 hands, and the Beaver, under the direction of Gallup & Houghton and employing 300 hands. both mills being in this city; the Williamstown Manufactur- ing company, a separate corporation, but with the Arnold Print Works off cers in control and employing 500 people, and the North Pownall Manufacturing company, also controlled by the Arnold rIlnt "oihs oiIlcerS, Witn vV HdnuS.
 The immediate control of the Arnold Print Works and through that concern of the various other companies, is in A. Houghton and William Arthur Gal 1up, his son-in-law. The officers of all the companies are exceedingly intimate, so that the appointment of a receiver for the Arnold Print Works on the peti- tion of Charles D. Houghton, a nephew of A. c. Houghton, and a creditor of the Arnold Print Works was followed by receiverships for all the other in- volved concerns. The effect of this ac- tion is to prevent attachments upon any of the property and any waste in the assets. Under the order of the court the business of all properties must con tinue in the usual course under the re- ceivership.
 The aggregate liabilities are estimated at nearly $10000000.

FOR FEDERAL CONTROL.
Senator Stewart Favors Taking Charge
 of Railroads.

Washington. November S.-(Special.)- Former Senator Stewart of Nevada who is in the city, has Just passed his Seth birthday, and is ss vigorous physically as ever.
 He says: Tt is undoubtedly tho duty of Congress to appraise tho railroads issue bonds Tor the payment Of 6 just compensation, and own and control them for the benefit of all the oerpis. There is no other legitimate mode in the con- stltution. It is idle to suppose the people will submit to the absorption of their property by the railroad managers and the trusts they have created, without a struggle.
 'The only question Is, will that be under the constitution and according to constitutional methods. or after the plan of the French revolution? One or the other seem inevitable"

cumstances He cannot sell any sort of liquor, even though he be fortified with a prescription-not even grain alcohol.
 A number of men who have con- templated going into the drug business in dry counties expecting to do a certain amount of liquor business legally will no doubt be surprised to learn of these facts. As the matter stands at present no sort of liquor can be bought legally in any dry county in the state.
 Men who favor local option, but who are opposed to statutory prohibition, are confident enough to say tonight that they feel encouraged by the days develop ments In other words, they suspect that after all statewide prohibition bill may not be passed by the legislature. However doubtful this assumption may appear to an outsider-one who is simply here to look on-they maintain that the legislature, or especially the senate, will not go back on local option and thrust prohibition on communities which do not wish it.
 Here is an example which has some weight Take Limestone county which now has a dispensary placed in Athens by popular vote. The county gets part of the proceeds On the strength of the future income from the dispensary the county has issued $125,000 in bonds for road . and other improvements. Certain sena- tors are asking will it not be bad-faita to deprive Limestone county of the dis pensary income with this big bond issue on its hands?
 Again it is claimed that the people of Madison county voted for their dis pensary and think 1t is working well. Again man was induced to build big hotel at Point Clear in Baldwin countyI when special legislative act gave him permission to operate a bar in connection with the hotel to help pay expenses.
 Still further, Montgomery and Mobile| counties ask. Suppose we vote against prohibition in our counties? Will the leg| islature attempt to make us dry byl force?'
 These arguments areS having some| weight but after all 1t sremains to bel seen wether even the dignified senate| of Alabama can resist the wave that has| so far overwhelmed opposition in everyI county where elections have been held. This much can be said Few men have| the temerity to express their opposition| openly.

MERIDIAN PLANS TO
 HOLD COUNTY FAIR
COMMITTEE MEETS AND FORM ULATES PLANS AND WILL HAVE BIG FAIR-MoRRELL WILL BE BROUGHT BACK FOR TRIAL.

Meridian, Miss. November S.-(Specal) The Meridian Board of Trade and Cotton Exchange met tonight and formulated plans for the holding of a county fair next year. A committee, consisting of Cliff Williams, John w. Parker, J. A. Gibson, Sam Neville, J. M. Heiss and Marshall Threefoot, was appointed to so- licit membership for a county fair asso- citation. A motion was carried to invite local architects to submit plans for fair grounds and buildings and make esti- mates. The idea is to have a county fair on big scale and encourage the breeding of fine stock and get Meridian on the fast horse circuit.
 Thomas P. Brown, deputy sheriff. sent to Coffeyville, Kan, after B. F. Morrell who it is alleged skipped out of Mers- dian with funds belonging to the local Trades Council, today informed the sherin's office by wire that he had sue ceeded in winning his fight for the trans portation of his prisoner, after much difft- culty. Morrell took advantage of every possible point of law in his favor to keep from returning to Meridian, where he will have to stand trial for his alleged stealing.
 It IS said that on the arrival of Mer- rell the local Trades Council will at once begin a vigorous prosecution of the man, and the case promises to pre- sent more than usual interest, because of the prominence of the man during his residence in Meridian, where his fine per- sonality and pleasing manner made him very popular. He claims to have been one of Roosevelts Rough Riders dur ing the famous San Juan Hill fight.
 The remains of Col W. T. Tdtum. supervisor of the Houston branch of tic Baltimore and Ohio railroad. who died suddenly on his train near Okolona, were inferred in Magnolia cemetery nere today The funeral was conducted at the home of his son. Robert l. Tatum, and the burial was under the auspices ol the Masons of this city and Okoiona Capt. Frank Burkitt officiated. The funeral was largely attended.
 The synod of the American Presby- terian church of Mississippi came to d close tonight, after most successful meeting. The feature of the days ses- sion of. the synod was the sermons of the Rev. Dr. Morris of Little Rock, pr. Previne of Nashville and Dr. King Of Oxford. This afternoon sermons were delivered by Mrs. Ella A. Boole of New York and Miss Marguerite Dodge or Philadelphia. These two most eloquent female orators spoke in behalf of the woman's Synodical Missionary society of the church.

ENGINEER IS A HERO.
He Dies With Train To Save lives
 of Many Others.

Douglas. Ariz, November s-The death| list as. a result of Necozari explosion| yesterday is now placed at 15 MexicansI and John Chishlom, aged 13, who was| riding on the train when the explosion oc- cured. A train on the narrow gauge| to the Pilares mine in some way caught fire. On the train were two open cars heavily loaded with explosives, and the | fact that the concentrator and a goodI part of the town of Necozarl were saved from ruin was due to the bravery of the 1 Meoican engineer, Jesus Garcia. Realiz- | ing that to cut out the burning cars and escape on the engine would expose' the town to probable destruction, he called to the rest to jump and started to run the train away from the town. He had taken 1t about half mile when the ex- plosion occurred and nc was blown to} atoms

 The witness was then asked whether after the story had been rejected, he took it back and, with few embellishments, including the body -snatching incident again offered it to New York newspapers. Caldwell admitted that he had again or fered the story to a New York newspaper and complained that the paper not only broke it's promise not to say anything about the story if 1t was not used, but provided an affidavit for use in the pres ent case and also printed editorials on the subject.
 MT. Caldwell was still under examina- ton when the case was adjourned for a week. One of the strangest features of the case is that about the middle of June, 1906, workmen who were tearing down Harcourt house on Cavendish square, London, previously one of the residences of the Duke of Portland, discovered an underground passage leading from the house to the Baker street structure, in which was the famous bazaar. conducted by Charles Druce. The claimant declares that the duke used the underground pass age to go from Harcourt house to the place of business of "Druce
 Limited Company.
 The suit of the claimant is being pressed by limited liability company formed for the purpose. The directors are the claim ant and George and John Crickmer
 George Druce says he was born in lS4l and went to Australia in 1865, returning to England four years later. About this time, he adds facts which came into his possession showed that the Duke of Port land owned the bazar and he decided to claim the estates.
 The income from the Duke of Port lands estates is estimated at not less than S1, ,50o,000 a year, and 1t was on this basis that the shares of the limited liabil- ity company were placed on the market. Ten thousand ordinary shares were issued at S5 each. and 20, ,O00 deferred shares were issued at 20 cents each.

COCAINE BILL
 SURE OF SUCCESS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)


 for introduction in fact as in final pass age.
 Senator Miller of Jefferson is inclined to think the two-thirds does not have to ap ply to the introduction. He says in reg uiar session a simple majority is neces- sary for legislation but that he can in-l troduce a bill and have it acted on by. committee even though he be the onYy member of the body in favor of the bill. There is evidently big surprise in store for some of the druggists of the state. At the last session a measure was passed defining the conditions under which drug gists can sell liquor. Among them is the provision that a druggist can sell four ounces on Sunday a physicians pre- scription. It now develops that this holds good only in wet" counties. Under the prohibition laws a druggist cannot sell liquor in a dry county under any cir
