NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The mar
ket made a better stand today than
conditions at yesterdays close really
warranted expectation of. However,
it was uncertain throughout the hours
of trading as to what the next turn
might bring forth. There was a trem-

BODIED no good. The close was
stronger than most had expected
The banks released more money to-
day and the interest rate declined
to 10 per cent. An assisting feature
in this matter was better news from
the interior as to currency demand
and supply. 1t would now seem as
If the drain on New York for funds
is about over. No further extensive

event this expectation is realized the
situation will be greatly bettered and
clearing away of the clouds can pro-

MORE STRENGTH
FOR PHILIPPINES
IMPORTANT MILITARY DEVELOP
MENTS FOR PACIFIC
POSSESSIONS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-There are
indications that important military de-
velopments are looked for in the Phil
ippine Islands in he near future.
Chief among the things pointing to
tha conclusion is the fact that Major
Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding that
military division, and Brigadier Cen
eral Tasker H. Bliss, commanding the
Department of Mindanao. have asked
for further service in the archipelago.
General Wood will start for the
United States next month by way OF
Europe to take command of the De-
partmen of the East at New York, as
relief of Major General F. D. Grant,
who is to be transferred to Chicago to
command the Department of the
Lakes.
Major General John F. Weston, now
commanding the Department of the
Luzon, will succeed General Wood in
command of the troops in the Philip
pines. After brief stay in the United
States, General Wood plans to return
to the islands and resume command.
General Weston would then resume his
duties at Manila. 1t is understood that
General Wood has asked that this be
proved his application.
General Bliss has also asked that he
be continued in command in the Phil
ippines for another two years follow
ing his present term of service
The circumstances are regarded as
of more than ordinary significance in
view of the possibilities for trouble in
connection with discrimination against
orientals by the United States and
also with the maintenance of the open
door in China. When the fortification
work in the Philippines now in pro-
gress are completed. within the next
two years, the islands will be a mill
tary base of great Importance. The
administration wants a strong man.
and Gen. Wood is thought to fill the
bill

NAVAL RECRUITS

MIDSHlPMEN N. n. WHITE OF THE
NEBRASKA OPENS OFFICE
IN CITY.

Midshipman n H. White, of U. S. S.
Nebraska, at present stationed at
Rremerton, is in the city today and
has opened an office in the postoffice
where he will take applications for en-
listment i'll the navy. He will leave
the city tomorrow but Chief Turret
Captain w. T. Boyd, of the Nebraska
will remain until the arrival of re-
cruiting officer, Ensign John Rogers,
who will arrive Saturday and remain
here until Monday.
Apprentice seamen between the age
of II and 25 are received and sent to
the training school at Goats island
near San Francisco. Firemen and
other enlisted men up to the age of 35
are enlisted and sent at once to the
Nebraska.
'The navy is a much better oppor-
turity for young man than the
army" said Midshipman White this
morning 1.-The pay is better from the
start and promotions are apt to come
more quickly The special inducements
we are offering for enlistment on the
Nebraska are the target practice at
Magdalena bay next spring and the trip
to the east coast through the Suez ca
nal next summer.
This is ole of the great advantages
of the navy. Always travelling, the man
in the navy sees a great deal of the
world. This trip next summer will
probably include stops at Japan, Ma
nilla, Singapore, Port Said, Naples and
Gibraltar. The men are allowed five
days ashore at these stops if their
conduct has been good and they are
allowed to make trips inland. H. this
manner they ge. to see much of the
world and all the time are drawing
pay.
.'The enlistment is for four years.
Men are favorites with board, lodging
and medical attention free. $50 out
fit of clothes is also furnished free.
"Of 500 places on the Nebraska, $50
are vet to be filled. For this reason we
are making this travelling recruiting
trip throughout the country to get
men. The Nebraska goes to sea
about November 1, and by that time
these places should be filled.
THAT the navy is better PROPOSE
ton than the army and good opening
for Young man, is evidenced by the
fact that there are few desertions from
the navy. Compared with those from
tho army. there are scarcely 1one at
all. Men who eRlist are satisfied win

dollars for publication, in the daily, of
an article about five inches in length.
Eugene Lorton, of the Bulletin, testi-
fed that there were not, as far as he
knew, any differences in the charges
made for publications in the weekly
and daily papers. The Bulletin has no
weekly. However, Mr.. Lorton was
manager of the Union at the time of
the publication of the articles in con-
troversy, so that all the papers got
some free advertising in court.
Tried Other Issues.
To the ordinary citizen it appeared
that the issue being tried was that of
the publication of the notice referred
to and the charges to be made rather
than the question of whether or not
the articles published were libelous.
The feature of the case this morning
was the heated controversy between
Attorney Gose for the plaintiff and At
torney Barker for the defense. The for
mer accused counsel for the defense
with having a wrong motive in offering
to prove certain things about the
plaintiff, and Mr.. Barker replied by
stating to the court that such accusa-
tions were unprofessional and uncalled
for. The court agreed with Mr. Barker
that such statements were uncalled for
but excused them from the fact that
attorneys, becoming warmed up in
their efforts to represent their clients
to the best of their ability, frequently
would not say when calmed down,
whereupon Mr.. Gose repeated his ac-
torneys to refrain from personal ref
erences
AS court adjourned at noon 1t was
announced by the judge that the de-
fendant would be given the right to
open and close the argument with
right reserved to the plaintiff to close
with an argument restricted to the in
;ured feelings of the plaintiff. The case
is now being argued.
Looks Bright for Plaintiff.
The court has said that he would in
struct the jury that the plaintiff is
entitled to receive at least nominal
damages.
