Next wednesday VIII he Christmas,
the one day in the year when everybody
in Christian lands lays aside all business
cares and anxieties and practices the
principle upon which Christianity was
fou e d-the brotherhood of man.
Christmas is the one day when the poor
are remembered and when every child is
sought to be made happy by gifts and
special attentions.
No man or woman ever seeks, on
Christmas. to take advantage Of his less
fortunate brother or sister, but deals out
full measure and even handed justice to
all alike. Parents never scold on Christ
mas, but strive to Impress upon the
children that it 10 such as they whom
Christ delighted to call about him and
TO say "Of such is the Kingdom Of
Heaven"
Would that these tenets Of Christian
ity wore moro universally practiced in
the world and that sel6shnsss would
lose its place in the hearts Of men.

ATLANTIC FLEET is NAMED
MAKEUP OF NEW COAST DE-
TENSE GIVEN OUT.
VIII Replace Vessels Sent to Pacific
Latter Will Encirce
Globe.

New York, Sept. 6.-The makeup of
the fleet which will replace the At
lantic fleet when the latter starts on
its Pacific cruise has been announced
at Washington by the administration.
The whole matter has been decided on
by President Roosevelt, acting in con-
junction with the navy department.
The flagship Of the new fleet will be
the New Hampshire, 16,000-ton bat
tIeship, which is to be ready for com
mission early in January. AS soon as
possible she is to be joined by the
Mississippi and the Idaho, two first
class battleships now under cOnstruc-
ton by the Cramps and nearing com,
pletiOn.
These three powerful vessels will
have as cOnsOrts three veterans of the
Spanish war, the battleships Iowa, In
diana and Massachusetts, which are
now being modernized
This fleet of six battleships will
have as its auxiliaries the three new
scout cruisers which are almost ready
for serVice-the Chester, Birmingham
and Salem.
Subsequently the new Atlantic fleet
will be REINFORCED by the two 10000
ton battleships Michigan and South
Carolina and the two fast armored
cruisers Of 14,500 tons each, the North
Carolina and the Montana.
The New Hampshire is similar to
the Connecticut, Admiral Evans flag
ship, in type, but the Idaho and the
Mississippi, which are 1900 tons each,
are of a type peculiar to themselves.
They are noted for the power of their
armament, Notwithstanding their rela-
lively small tonnage. The Chester,
Birmingham and Salem are of 1850
tons each and they are to be capable
of % knots an hour speed.
The administration, it is stated, does
not mean to confne the fleets move
ments to the Pacific coast. The presi-
dents plan is to send the warships on
to Hawaii and then to the Philippines
after their visit to California ports.
When orders are issued for their re-
turn the route designated will be via
the Suez canal. Thus the fleet will
circumnayigate the globe.

Bic BROKERAGE FIRM
OF NEW YORK FAILS
WATSON & COMPANY, GRAIN AND
COMMISSION HOUSE, GOES TO
WALL UNEXPECTEDLY.
HAD IMPORTANT
CONNECTIONS IN WEST
Concern Dealt Largely in Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Sc
curities = Stocks Decline After
wards, involving Many Capitalists.

New York, Sept. 6.-The failure of
Watson & Co, grain and commission
brokers, was announced on the New
York stock exchange Thursday. 1t
is understood that the firm has been
very active in trading in Northwest
ern railroad stocks lately. The firm
is composed Of Lewis T. Watson, the
stock exchange member; Henry p.
Watson, H. V. Jones and C. e. An
derson. 1t has branch Offices in Du-
luth, Hot Springs, Va, Minneapolis
and Winnipeg.
w. Frank Newell has been appoint
ed receiver for the firm.
Dealt Largely in Hill Stocks.
Watson & Co. are one of the larg-
est brokerage houses in the country.
It's principle Offices are in New York
portant correspondents in Chicago.
II. Y. Jones, of the firm, is a we'll
known crop expert.
The house did a large business
both in securities and grain. 1t had
been among the heaviest dealers in
the Hill stocks and bought more Great
Northern and Northern Pacific than
any half dozen brokers on the stock
exchange The insolvency is attrib-
uted mainly to the great depreciation
in these shares.
Hill Securities Tumble.
Great Northern declined from $342
to $120 a share, while Northern Pa
cifc dropped 800 a share from the
top, at which Watson & Co. had
bought freely. Their espOusal of these
properties involved many New York
and Minneapolis and ST. Paul capital
lists.
Failure Was Unexpected.
The downfall of Watson & Co. was
unexpected in that it was supposed
the firm had weathered its difficulties
successfully last month, when the
storm and stress period on change
was at its fiercest. 1t was generally
known that the firms customers had
lost heavily in the Hill stocks; in the
nature of the slumps, these clients
losses ran into the millions. Several
capitalists of the northwest are re-
ported to have sunk their personal
fortunes in Hill stocks speculation,
but it had been assumed that the
house had protected itself in exactfng
safe margins from it's clientele.
Weathered the Stock FURRY.
The assumption of safety appeared
to have been confirmed by the fact
that in the severest days of last
March and August the firms credit
was not called into question, though
it was an open secret that it had
experienced some difficulties for a
while with certain customers. There
was report that the final blow had
been administered by the rise in
wheat and corn-of which the firm is
supposed to have been short
