OFFICERS WHO DIDN'T
RIDE MAY BE RETIRED
Twelve Failed to Undertake
Hike.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. e.
(SpeciaD AS an indirect result of
the equestrian test ordered recently
by the President for officers of the
army above the rank of major, twelve
officers, ranging in grades from ma
jor to colonel, has been ordered to
appear before a retiring board at the
Washington Barracks, November II,
for examination as to whether they
should be retired on account OF
physical disability.
None of these officers took part in
the riding test, though they would
have done so had not army surgeons
reported that their participation might
result seriously for them. Every
officer who was ordered to take the
ride was first examined by the army
doctors, and only those were permit
ted to enter the lists whose health, in
the opinion of the medical men, would
not be impaired by the trial of en-
durance.
OF course it does not follow neces-
sarily that because an officer is or
dered before a retiring board for ex-
animation that the board will find
him physically disqualified for fur
Their active service in the army. Mel
Their is it by any means inevitable
that an officer who may be found
disabled will be retired. Inasmucb
as it lies within the discretion of the
President to continue him on the ac-
tive list At the same time, it seems
quite certain that some of the officers
who will appear before an examining
board will be compelled to go into re-
tirement

BRITISH CELEBRATE
GUY FAWKES DAY
Celebration Similar
American Fourth.

LONDON, Nov 2,-(SpeciaD -
With the customary fireworks, bon
fires and patriotic addresses, parades
and demonstrations, Guk Fawkes day,
the British Fourth of July" will be
celebrated throughout England Tues
day. The occasion of the celebration
is the anniversary of the attempt to
blow up the British house of parlia-
ment, king, lords and commons, by
Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspira-
tors in 1905.
Although the enthusiasm manifested
is not as great as in past years,
and the celebration is gradually los
ing its national and historical signifi-
canoe, the holiday will be generally
observed, especially by the children.
The name of Great Britains great
est and noisiest gala day is some
what misleading, in that the whole
credit or onus of the "gunpowder
plot" has been popularly laid on the
shoulders of Guy Fawkes, whereas
history records that he was far from
being the most important Of the plot
ters and appears to have been chosen
by the chief conspirators because
of his GOODNESS and courage.
Fawkes, who was detailed to fire
the train which would blow up parlia-
p,anf bo,,Sa xuoo foIxan ae he uyac
leaving the vault, and the rest of the
conspirators were either killed or
captured at Dunchurch, where they
fled Fawkes was terribly tortured,
and though he was rendered so
weak that he could scarcely mount
the scaffold. he retained his magni-
ficent fortitude to the end.
BY an act of parliament, the MEM
bers of which had barely escaped a
terrible death, November 5 was pro-
claimed a day of thanksgiving for
ever. For two centuries afterward
the annual celebrations were marked
by riotous excuses, in which drunk
en- men and women paraded the
streets all day, carrying efigies of
Guy Hawkes., which at night were
burned in huge CONGREGATIONS to the
accompaniment of fireworks, drink
ing, dancing and mad cries.
The fierce religious hatred once
engendered in the breasts Of Pro-
testants and Catholics alike on the
annual recurrence of Guy Fawkes
day has now died out and the ami
versary has now become little more
than a general holiday, with nearly
all thought of its tragic significance
vanished from the minds of the press
ent generation.

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER
Last year

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Liyerpool in
the future division divided honors
with us yesterday and came about
as due The spot column only show
ing an advance of points which is
certainly very bad sign. The
resiliency of this market is certainly
phenomenal in the face of such adj
verse financial difficulties, having adj
vanced 68 points in three days. The
only cause that we can see is the
fear of the bear contingent regard
ing the size of the next ginners re-
port and the issuance of very bear
ish circular by Mr.. Price. 1t is al
ways a safe proposition that when
this gentleman comes out on either
side Of the market there is a trick
in it. The movement is increasing
every day and spinners taking for
the week were not far behind
those of last year With the short
crowd cleaned up the market faces
a beginning of bull liquidation that
is going to be hard to handle by the
bull crowd. The banks are all hard
pushed and will advise the farmer
to turn loose on this advance. New
Orleans encountered heavy liquida-
ton after our close and there was
heavy selling from the bear crowd
on account of the rank bank state
ment. We think the market has adj
vanced enough until the heavy move
ment has been cared for and it should
be sold on every advance.

SMALL GAINS MADE
IN COTTON MARKETS
Trading in Local Spots Was
Very Limited.

For the weekend, prices in the
cotton contract market generally
made small gains. Liverpool regis
tered good gain at the opening in
response to the favorable American
market of Friday. The New York
market came unchanged to 5 points
higher while New Orleans opened Is
to % points higher, having sagged
badly at the previous close. The bear
leader issued another circular but
this did not have much effect. Prices
early in the day showed a tendency
to climb, but selling was renewed in
such volume that the market eased
off. The movement was nearly as
large as last year at the same time
and this was taken as an indication
of a forcing of cotton on the market.
Covering lifted values a little, but
the close was nearly at the lowest
for the day.
New York made net gain of l to
4 points for the session, while New
Orleans was unchanged to points
higher for December and January.
Spot prices in the former market adj
vanced 10 points. New Orleans spots
were quoted at 10 5-8 cents, an adj
vance over Thursday of Is of cent.
Liverpool spots were points high
er with sales Of 5000 bales for the
short session. Futures closed 8 1-2
to II points higher, the October
November option making the largest
gain. Receipts at Savannah were
14,524 bales and at New Orleans T.
976. The total at all ports was So
600 against $4,000 last year.
In the Americas spot market trad
ing was very limited, the factors and
producers being disinclined to force
sales. The receipts by wagon for
the day~were 4O1 bales, which is a
light record for the last day of the
week. Quotations are reduced LIS of
a cent from the day before.

FOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster-Genera Meyer in his an
nual report presents the best of rea-
sons why Congress should provide for
a system of postal savings banks. The
great need for these banks has lately
been c%onclusively shown. Had there
beer such a system in existence many
millions Of the deposits withdrawn
from the regular banks would have
been deposited in the postal banks and
the money would not have been with
drawn from circulation.
A striking fact stated by the POST
MASTER General is that during the last
fiscal year s72,O 900, 900 had been sent
abroad in postal money orders, the
bulk Of this money being owned by the
Immigrant class. and much of it sent
to be deposited in foreign postal banks.
The immigrant who knows little about
our institutions still has implicit faith
in the government, and Mr.. Meyer is
right in saying that if we had a postal
bank system the banks would receive
a large part of he immigrants saw
irgs. Thus millions in capital that now
go out of the country will be retained,
and the savings of the lately arrived
immigrant will be an important source
of national wealth.

A WAY TO ECONOMIC.

An English author has written about
"a new way to pay old debts" There
has been discovered a new way to econ
omize in State expenses. The process
is simple. First, create an unnecessary
commission. Then create another SINH
lar commission. Say that the salaries
and expenses of each commission would
amount annually to 100000. There you
have provided a basis for your plan of
economy. The total cost of the two
commissions being $4,000 a year,
abolish one commission, and then claim
credit for an economy of $4,000 a year
for the State.
That's about the size of some of the
economic reforms that are witnessed in
State governments in this country, and
we have witnessed some of that kind
OF economy at Trenton.

A1RsH1Ps IN A

How near it may be there's no ac-
curate means of telling, but that we are
on the eve of another revolution in the
science of war comparable to the dis
stages of development in the art of
killing at longer range that came in
with improved guns, small and big, high
explosives, armorplate and submarines,
is patent, and the airship is to bring it
about. Aerial navigation, though in its
infancy. the rudiments having scarcely
been mastered, has, nevertheless, made
such progress recently that it must be
reckoned with in all future plans of Of
Tense and defense in quarrels between
nations, which are by no even
obsolescent despite our universal peace
conferences.
Other great powers have been
working energetically on the develop
ment of the dirigible airship with more
or less success. for military purposes,

made in Germany and in France. In
the way of accommodating, at least, the
