Alarming Conditions Found In the

Buffalo. n. ". Nov 19.-For the first

stock yards are under a quarantine.
Because two carloads of cattle which
were delivered in western Pennsylvania
and which were found to be affected

ties have declared quarantine against
sioner Pearson of the department of

GERMANY DOUBTS
KA|SER'S SINCERITY.
Press and People Openly Express Opinion
.---von bue|oW Touches on Unfriend-
illness to German Empire.

Berlin, Nov 19.-Two days have pass
ed since Emperor William made his
statement to Chancellor Won Buelow
regarding his observance in the fu-
ture Of the constitutional requirements
of the empire in the matter of inter-
fering in the foreign relations of the
state, and the German people are even
less satisfied with the imperial as
surances than were in the beginning
There is today an almost universal
tendency to doubt the sincerity of the
Emperor's promises. The press does
not hesitate to intimate that the En-
peror will not fulfill his implied obl-
CATION to leave the conduct of the ma
tons affairs to the responsible min
listers and in some quarters his words
are almost classified as untrue.
The matter will not be allowed to rest
by the Reitchstag, if the indications
Of today are fulfilled Today many of
the Parliamentary groups are holding
private sessions to decide what course
shall be adopted.
Chancellor Won Buelow made a long
speech in the Reichstag on the new
measures to increase the imperial
revenues. The House was only half
filled. The prince held that the exist
ing unfriendly feeling toward Ger
many could be overcome and he said
he though borrowing policy was I'M
worthy German progress and industry.

For Shipbui|ding For Year
SaysRear Adm. Bow|es.
But Last Year Was Greatest
In History Of the Business.
Reason to Hope Congress Will
Pass Ocean Mail Bill.

New York. Nov. 19--The output Of
the shipbuildins plants of the United
states for the fiscal year ending June
30 last was the greatest in the history
of the business, according to state
inent made by Rear Admiral Francis
t. Bow les at the annual meeting of the
Society of Naval Architects and Ma
rne Engineers in this city today. Rear
Admiral Rowles, who is retired anG
now president of the Fore River Ship
building Co., and also of the society,"
said that 1857 vessels of Gl4,216 gross
tons were built in american yards
within the year. This was an increas,
of 300 vessels over the previous year
The yards on the Great Lakes, which
he said, were protected by both geogra-
ply ard law. were the chief contribu-
tors.
"The present year opens gloolnily
for shipbuilding,' Rear Admiral Bowles
said. Ship owners, embarrassed by
low freights and reduced volume of
business following the panic of a year
ago. have placed very few new orders
with the shipyards of either lakes or
ocean," he added During July, Au-
gust and September the tonnage built
and documented in the United States
amounted to only 20,SS7 gross tons"
Shipbuilding was decreased IN Great
Britain also. THE outlook for good
year would be brighter" he said, eff
the shadow of so-called high finance
had not fallen upon some of the larg-
est and strongest of our coastwise and
steamship lines The combination I'M
xl> Il;
vices OF our Atlantic seabOard has left
a heritage of embarrassment for which
the industry itself is in no way re-
spcnsible.''
Rear Admiral Bowles declared that
there was reason to hope that Con-
gresS will pass an ocean mail bill and
said that Presilent-elect Taft has long
been an earnest champion of the cause
OF American shipbuilding. THE

Boston. Nov. 19.-Arrayed in new
garD of drab which made her almost

the new scout cruiser Salem reached
hero today from Guatanamo from a
shaking down run of three weeks, with
l3 sick men on board, and Commander
A. l.. Key, whose letter severely crit
icizing some of the latest battleships
is said to have resulted in the now ia
nous Newport conference, at the wheel.
The Salem was the first United States
vessel to come into the harbor in war
paint since 1898.
The recent order of the navy depart
nent permitting officers to discuss pub
icly the plans of future ships enabled
Commander Key to express today his
pleasure ut the results of the Newport
conference.
THE people of this country are too
confident that their ships are the finest
pfloat and they take too much for
granted in their designs" said Com
mander Key. What we need is to
arouse the people to intelligent criti-
ism of our warships, not fault find
.ng, but fair minded discussion of the
good points ard their defects
Il do lot think our ships are the only
,nes that have faults, but 90 think
hat such meetings as that held at
Newport will aid greatly in making our
ships better able to fight
Commander Key concluded his re-
view by taking up few OF the reso-
buttons adopted at the conference and
explaining some of the advantages at
tanned.
The sick seamen of the Salem were
sent to the naval hospital. Eleven OF
them were from the cruiser Tacoma,
stationed at guantanamo.

New York, Nov 19.-Having given
the history of the first 20 years of the
Standard Oil Co., the testimony of
John D. Rockefeller, president Of the
Oil Company on direct examination in
the federal suit to dissolve the Stand
ard Oil Co. was brought to an unex-
pected close this afternoon. He told
today of the processes and causes OF
the company's growth up to the trrst
agreement of 1882, and, after he had
identified the parties to that agree
ment, counsel for the defence announc-
ed that he had concluded his direct
testimony and requested an adjourn
ment until tomorrow.
Friday will find Mr.. Rockefeller on
the witness stand under sharp cross
examination by Frank B. Kellogg, spe-
cial assistant attorney general, prose-

The cross examination by the govern
ment will be generally confined to the

the testimony has a direct bearing on
developments in the company's affairs
in it's later period. Counsel for the
Standard let it be known tonight that
the history OF the company from lle
trust agreement of 1882 will be given
on the witness stand by John D. Arch

Mr. Rockefeller's testimony today
had to do principally with the acquisi-
lions of other refining companies,
portation concerns and pipe line sys-
TENS which he declared were neces-
stated by the natural growth of the
Standards business.
