THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The changed attitude OF the Rus
sian representative AT the Hague, since
the first peace congress, and the
changed tone of Japan with regard to
the troubles IN San Francisco, may
both be explained by the fact that the
peace OF Portsmouth Is not accepted
as the Anal settlement Of the quarrel
between Russia and Japan. but only
as temporary truce. II Russia ex-

COMPETITION AND COAL PRICES
washington Herald.

NdsNington Herald.
The Vital principle OF the Govern
ments suit is the restoration of COM
petition FIRST, among the coal produ-
GERS. and, secondly among the coal
carriers. II Is alleged in the Govern
ments petition that the coal roads
have conspired TO stihe competition
among themselves IN the transporJa-
ton and sale OF coal. and to prevent
the sale Of the Independent output in
competition with their own. thereby
establishing q monopoly. II real COM
petition could be re-established in the
coal region the price of coal would bs
competitive, bearing some definite re-
lation to the cost Of production ana
transportation instead OF a monopoly
price, fixed according to other consider
atoms AS at present. Should the Gov
eminent be able 10 force q resumption
Of competition among coal carriers and
producers. resulting In reduction of
the price of coal great boon would
be conferred on domestic and indus
trial users Of that commodity. Per-
haps this is too much to expect, for
even ii the Governments suit should
be successful there would still be an
important element Of monopoly In tho
control by closely affiliated interests OF
ninety per cent OF the anthracite coal
deposits.

is JAPAN SPYING ON Usp
Providence Journal.


Tho story of the arrest of a suspect
ed Japanese spy at Newport is inter-
esting, II not important. The prtn-
cipal testimony against the suspect APP
pears to be that IL fellow Japanese
was seen to- approach him with q mil
itary salute, the inference being that
he has at some time in the past been
an officer IN the mikado's service. al
though he occupies humble position
In Uncle Sans employment now. 1t
Is entirely possible that Japan has her
secret representatives engaged in
mental work within our American fort
ifications. Her spies honeycombed

A NEW KIND OF COLOR.


The color of the gown which the Prin-
cess wore at the recent launching OF
King Edwards yacht is described as
that of oatmeal. There we have the
new shade, or Rt.-least a new shade,
that dfessmakersl and rnillfnsrs have
been signing for, Being told that a
gown is of oatmeal color II is easy
enough to visualize II. though the
sound of 1t is not particularly pleas
ing. 1t IL even less so than "oystcr
white" or elephants breath" tints
that have had their fling for some time
now, There is nothing of artistic beau
~ or of poetic flavor In the name of
the new shade and this seems rather Il
pity since IL Is born in an age of eN-
IRENE refinement in dress making
Neither does 1t leave anything to the
imagination, though some may think
IL to its credit TO be so literal and so
homely. Others will say it is just to
laugh when they hear 1t and will won
der If we are to be put straight
through the long list of breakfast
foods for colors and tints now that we
have started with oatmeal, the Oldest
of them all.

SWIMMING TROOPS.



The feat OF swimming the Tlber on
horseback, which has attracted a good
deal of attention during the last week
IN the Italian press recalls much
more daring and practical opera ton
OF the same kind, performed under
Gaiibaldis orders during his lighting
days In South America. While at
Saltp he noticed that o strong mounted
corps of the enemy left in observa-
ton OF the place, left their horses graz
ing close to the river bank. for the sake
OF water during the day, and withdrew
them at night, Placing some rlhemen
under cover he sent a party OF picked
horsemen, who, riding naked and bare
back. dashed their charges through u
deep river, 1850 feet wide, at midday,
while the heat was greatest and the
few hostile pickets were taking nap,
This party got the enemy's horses to-
gethcr, drove them 10 the river bank
and led them safely swimming to the
other side before the owners could
make any real effort 10 prevent thu
coup. The hidden rihemen kept tho
pckets under control.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-A complete
transformation in the railroad terminal
facilities at Washington was effected
yesterday when the old Baltimore &
Potomac tPennsylvania) railroad de-
pot was abandoned and every railroad

station, which is one of the largest
and handsomest in the world. was for
mally opened several weeks ago, when
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad began
its use. In addition to the $4,000, 900
which the station cost. s10,000,000 has

is that our citizens should realize how
fundamentally sound business condi-
tons in this country are, and how alb
silrd it is to permit themselves to get
into a panic and create a stringency
by boarding their savings instead of
trusting perfectly sound banks.
THERE'S no particle of risk involv-
ed in letting business take its natural
course, and the people can help them
selves and the country most by putting
back into active circulation the money
they are boarding.
"The banks and trust companies are
solvent. There is more currency in
the country today than there was a
month ago. when the supply was am
| pie; $55,000,000 in gold has been i'm
ported and the government has deposit

Crops are good and business condi

the money we have in circulation In

ing prosperity.
There is no analogy at all with the
way things were in 1898. On Nov. sc
of that year there was in the treasury
but $161 100000 in gold. On Nov. II
Of this year there was in the treasury
1904, 0C0 of gold. Ten years age
the circulation per capita was S23.23
1t is now 1929. The steps that yor
now take, the ability of the govern
ment to back them up, and the fac
that not a particle of risk is involved
therein gives the fullest guarantees 'oi
the sound condition of our people and
the sound condition of our treasury;
Let business Proceed.
'All that our people have to do now
is to go ahead with their normal bust
ness in a normal fashion, and the
whole difficulty disappears; and this
end will be achieved at once if eacf
