Berlin, Nov. 22.-The debate in the

Well Entrenehed.

The power of the associated mOnarchies
forming the German empire is entrenched
in two principal ways-in the bundesrath,
which has equal legislative powers with
the reichstag, and in the conservative and
clericals parties, which have. under the
ancient system of the reichstag electoral
districts. the means for holding the ma
jority in that body by about One-third the
votes cast The bundesrath, which con-
sists of fifty-eight members appointed by
the sovereigns of the states of Germany
except one each from Hamburg, Bremen
and Lubbock. stands directly across the
path of a government responsible to the
elected representatives of the empire
The kings. grand dukes. dukes and
princes who rule the federated states, also
through ministers responsible to them
alone while willing TO unite in limiting
the freedom of initiative and speech on
the part of the king of Prussia as en-
peror are one with him in their deter
minatiOa to resist representative govern
ment.

Source of Distrust.

II is in the rate of discounting the ex-
pected Improvement in the stock market
speculation and in the weakening of the
technical position of the stock market by
that process that the sources of distrust
have been found. In one or two fields
of industry there were signs of danger
that the speculative enthusiasm was out
running the present condition also. The
substantial financial element among the
bankers and large capitalists were inclined
to voice warning against this tendency
and to deprecate an attempt to enter upon

New York Nov 22-Dealings in stocks
last week contracted to a daily average
of but little more than million shares at
the New York stock exchange compared
with the average of upward of a million
and half shares a day for the week pre-
Ceding. Compared with this diminuition
in the activity of the market there grew
up a degree of uncertainty in the price
movement I'm contrast of the uniformally
strong upward movement which had pre-
vailed since the presidential election. These
facts registered the soberer view of the
prospect for enhancement of values grow
ing out of the Improvement in business
and financial conditions and the apprehen-
sion that the speculation pace had been
overrunning itself. There is no trace per-
ceptible here of any fears for the ultimate
prospect for increase of prosperous con-
ditions. The conviction remains unaltered
that the situation is adjusted to a steady
resumption of business and industrial ac-
tiVity in all lines.

About Tariff Revision.

ton with Mr.. Taft and especially the
forthcoming tariff revision. 81 am he
said, most heartily in favor of a genu-

tariff. l find Judge Taft to be very much
in earnest on this question. He believes
that there are many schedules in the pres
ent tariff law which should be lowered
and l agree with him on that"
Judge Taft was notified by Mr. Barrett
of an invitation to be formally extended
to him in Washington when he reaches
that city early in December. to attend the
next annual meeting of the TRANSMITS

Fourteen Votes SUFFICIENT.
Fourteen votes in the bundesrath
against any amendment to the constitu-
ton will suffice for its rejection. The
emperor, as king of Prussia, dominates
seventeen of the members, and as a con-
sequence there is no possible chance for
the adoption of an amendment without
his consent. That radicals and socialists
do not doubt that by cutting off the
money appropriations they could in the
end compel the monarch to grant full
representative government. but they must

For the Republics.

John Barrett, director of the bureau of
American republics. was dinner guest
at the Taft cottage and came here to pre-
sent what he said was a universal express
sion of interest on the part of the Central
and South American republics to ascer-
tain the plan of Judge Taft regarding the
Roosevelt Root policies of developing
closer friendly and commercial relations
in that part of the world. II shall go
back to Washington with assurances from
the president-elect," said Mr.. Barrett,
that he not only approves of what has
been done by the last administration in
this respect, but will make the contin-
nance of this work one of the features of
his own administration.

showed city officials through the
plant and stuck a lighted match into
quantity of the oil to show that II
would put out the light. A gentle
man shortly afterward ostentatiously
pretended to hight a pipe in the
plant and he was peremptorily order
ed to desist by an employe, who said
the company has the strictest rules
against smoking around the prem
Uses. 1t seems that the chief danger
is from the gases generated in such
a plant. The ground is soaked with
oil for a depth of more than a foot,
and in spite of the greatest caution,
liz is never known when a catastrophe
is pending. It is said by those &C
ouainted with the rules of the Stand
ard Oil company, that II would
brighten an ordinary man out of his
wits II he knew the constant danger
of fire or explosion.
Now, why doesn't the company
wish to move?
Il is more convenient for delivery
to be I'm the center of the city. The
Standard Oil company's tanks them
selves are in no more danger in the
heart of the city than they would be
anywhere else on railroad. II
the tanks in Paducah ignite from a
locomotive and the whole city Is
burned. the Standard OIL company
will not be liable for its neighbours
damages. and its own loss will not
be more than il would be If the plant
was Isolated. because il must have
It's plant near the railroad, anyway.
It can afford to jeopardize the city
for its own convenience. as long as
It's own risk Is not increased. It's a
clear proposition from the Standard
Oil companys point Of view: 1t win
stay where II Is most convenient as
ong as it can.
Paducah citizens, who have been
since this question came up,
have observed that in most other
places they passed through Standard
Dill tanks are located outside the,
'ity limits, and in every case they are
solated. something easy for travel
rs passing through town TO ascer-
ain, as the tanks are always along
he railroad.
