NEW YORK. April 2l-William H.
Taft. the Secretary of War. was the chief
speaker at a mass meeting held last night
In Carnegie Hall by the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement. He was introduced
by DR.. John Il. Mott. secretary of the
international committee of the Y. NJ. C.
A. Mr.. Taft was cheered for a minute
or more before he was allowed to speak.
His speech gave his personal impressions
of missionary work in the orient.
I'VE have to wake up" the Secretary
said. I'VE have to recognize the fact
that we are not all there Is In the world
who are entitled to the money and the
help Of Christians. Christianity and the
spirit Of Christianity are the hope of the
world and are the only basis of popular
self-government."
The Secretary spoke of missions in the
Philippines. Five Augustinians went in
painstaking iaoors there were now thou
sands Of Christians In the Philippine archi-
pelaso-the only large body Of Christians
in the orient.
because Of these Christians" Mr.. Taft
said. 'they are At to become a self-gov-
wait Is necessary because there are a
million people in the islands who are not
Christians. Five hundred thousand or
more are Mohammedans. and the Moham-
medan is absolutely opposed to democra-
cy. Hospitals. schools and mission
churches are the factors making for civil

Mr. Taft said that the advance agents
of commerce. the business men, are fire.
quently harsh in their dealings with the
natives, and this engenders in the island
ers a hatred for the west and its men.

Nessrs. Flint and Brown Before In

Charles r Flint and Grant Hugh
Brown OF New York, who were the in
termediaries In such talk OF combining
the interests Of the Electric and the
Lake Boat companies as took place last
March. were witnesses before the Lilley
committee yesterday. Mr.. Browns testi-
tradictions that have characterized the
testimony since the investigation began.
Mr.. Flint devoted considerable time to
denying the testimony Of Mr.. Simon Lake
that he QTlinD had carried ON negotiations
looking to a merger Of the Lake Boat
Company with the Electric Boat Com
pany. though he admitted that he had
been informed Of a desire on the part of
the Lake people Ito have peace" subse-
quent to the commencement OF this in
vestigatIon.
Mr.. Flint testified that the contract
prices paid to the Electric Boat Company
by the United States government. which
Mr.. Lilley alleges have netted that COM
pany an excessive profit Of 81 .4oo. 900. are
not In excess Of prices paid for subma-
rfnes by foreign governments to the Lake
company and the Electric company
Mr.. Olmsted, in pursuing the allegation
OF excess. sought to have Mr.. Flint tell
how much he was paid as selling agent
Europe for the Lake company. Mr..
Flint preferred not to answer such oues-
lions, saving they related to private busi-
ness. "Besides." he said, 1.-THE question

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

One of the brokers using a desk tele-
phone in the exchange room today during
the course of the meeting, and while sur
rounded by the others members. in re-
porting the quotations on the preferred
stock of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company added by way of a
joke the statement that the stock was
bought on Sims order.
1t was received as a joke by the other
brokers. who. of course. could not help
overhearing what went out over the tele-
phone. but 1t did not seem to attract any
particular attention, not even as with
cism. as there is no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Sims owns a share of stock of
any traction company in this city.

in such securities either believe that the
legislation proposed of an alleged inju-

The main thing today was the trading
in Washington Railway bonds. A large
number found a market and at better
level than has prevailed recently. The
buying was on a range of from 79A to 80.
1t has been many months now since the
bonds were in the eighties.
Better figures were bid for the preferred

days. The same was true of Capital

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. April 2i.-Before the
opening of the market yesterday 1t was
pretty generally understood in speculative
circles that an effort would be made to
advance Union Pacific, Reading and st.
Paul. 1t was even claimed that the trad
ing in these three securities would be on
a relatively large scale and the price adj
vances rather sharply. In conservative
circles there was considerable skepticism
as to the possibility of awakening much
interest, even on the part traders in these
stocks or any other groups at the moment.
1t was pointed out that important oper-
ators are apparently doing very little in
the speculative market. and that conse-
auently the traders would be somewhat
slow in making commitments sufficiently
extensive to materially affect prices.
There was very little disappointment.
therefore. over the failure of the three
stocks mentioned to advance materially
or over the relative weakness OF the
market during the afternoon. There Ia
still an idea. nevertheless. that tho tenden-
Spectators say that banking interests
would not continue to bring out new
issues of stocks and bonds IL they did not
have reasonable amount of confidence
in the future of business and the earning
power of the railroads. They also call
attention to the assertion which has been
made SO often, namely. that bankers have
never attempted to float securities on
declining market.
~
Corporation officials generally say that
there is nothing in business conditions to
warrant higher prices for securities at
this time. They assert that without ques-
ton railroad traffic is not as good as it
was few weeks ago. A southern rail-
road man says that the earnings OF the
roads in his section were favorau,y az
fected for about q month by the move
ment of fertilizers. but that now the
agricultural interests are pretty we'll sup
piled with this commodity and other
classes of traffic are very light.
During the last two weeks of March
and the 1rst week of April there was an
abnormal movement OF coal on most Of
the roads in the west and southwest, be-
cause of apprehension of q bituminous
coal market. The differences which have
existed have now been adjusted, and ii
has also been discovered that the con-
them for sixty days on the average. Con-
seQuently the shipments Of coal are con-
siderably lighter than they were before
talk of strike was heard Railroad
operators In those two sections say that
other lines or traffic are not as good as
they were few weeks ago.
In the south and southwest many of the
roads have suffered greatly because Of
a paralyzed condition CT the lumber i'm
dustry. The president Of one southern
road said this morning that lumber con-
stitntes over 60 per cent of the total
traffic Of his road and that at the present
time only about 20 or % per cent of the
norman volume Is being handled.
