ENGLISH SPEECHES

They Believe Organized Effort
Is Being Made to Arouse
Hostile Feeling.

Berlin. Oct. 12.--rhe speeches recent
ly attributed to Lord N~orthcIife, Ad-
mIral Lord Charles Beresford and Early
Grey, governor general Of Canada, to-
gether with various magazine articles
dealiag with the relation OF Great Brit
ain and Germany, have been widely res
produced and commented on In this
country. @
The prevailing note 10 one OF appre-
hension that a regular campaign has
been organized for the purpose or de-
priving Germany OF the good will Of the
United States and nourishing the iden
that Germany is threatening Great
Britain,
The German commentators pofnt out
that all the suggestions OF trouble be-
tween Germany and Germans comes
from the British side, and that no Ger
man Of distinction. either In q public
speech or In writing. has given voice
to suspicion OF Great Britain.
Apprehension Ii expressed also over
the growth Of the war party In Great
Britain. This party today g sEmaIi, but
1T IL influential, and Is gathering
strength.
An official effort is being made 10
restrain German comment on these
speeches and articles wtth ehs idea or

KING is UNABLE TO
MAKE PEACE IN THE
FIGHT OVER BUDGET

London, Oct. 13.-At least some mem
bers Of the cabinet are opposing any
compromise such as has been suR-
gested by King Edward to prevent a
constitutional crisis over the budget.
Winston Spencer Churchill, president
of the board of trade, speaking at the
National Liberal club, declared thai the
government would make no o%yertures
to the house OF lords and accept no
compromise and that no amendment to
the finance bill by the upper house
would be entertained. The house of
lords, Mr.. Churchill added, had no right
to Interfere in any way with the finan-
cial business OF the government, direct
~ or indirectly, and that the liberals,
having a united party Inc a r~esolute
prime minister, were ready for the con-
f1ict il 1t were forced upon them.
Lord Loreburn, lord high chancellor,
who followed Mr.. Churchill, said he re-
fused to believe that the house of lords
would take a step which would lead to
a most grave conffict@and at the same
time place the finances of the country
IN a state of disorder so far reaching
and so serious that few persons who
had not studied the subject really APP
preciated the evil.
Mr.. Birrell, chief secretary for Ire
land, in a speech at Bristol declared
that the Irish land bill was as import
ant as the budget. but he believed the
house of lords would pas the budget.
Premier Asquith left BalmoraI castle
last night for London after another
lengthy consultation with King Ed

VAN BUREN, BUST
AT WHITE HOUSE
HAS BROKEN NECK

Washington. Oct. 18--Ablei In the flesh
10 remain president OF the United
States for but four brief and tempest-
uous years, Martin Van Buren, in mar
BILE is having an equally discouraging
career in the White house. No mat
ter what the future has in store, his
chiseIled likeness can expect no better
TO remain there with q broken
neck FOR the rest OF time.
"A bit OF untold White house history
links itself with the marble bust OF
Martin Van Buren,. All that is known
generally, now, is that some one years
ago did what many wings wanted to
do in the thi~rties--knock Martin Van
Buren's head right of his shoulders.
1t is said that President Roosevelt,
likewise a New Yorker who had risen
from vice president to the White house,
had the decapitated bust removed from
that attic, together with the classic
features OF the Undertook statesman,
n turned Owe to a sculptor. At any
rate, someone stuck the head into place,
and now the bust, with a mark around
the neck like Milady's necklace, Is Civ
en- a post of honor just at the foot Of
the stairway that leads from the east
ern entrance to the White house to the
main floor.

EVIDENCE
READ TO THE COURT
New York Lawyer Denies
Charges Of Corruption in
Panama Deal.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. l3.-With the
purpose OF showing that William Nell
son Cromwell, attorney for the old
French Panama canal companies, made
to the Morgan investigating committee
OF the United States Senate an explicit
statement of his relations in. the trans
fer of the canal zone to the United
States, certain parts OF his testimony
were read in the United States court OF
this district today by Stuart McNam-
ara, attorney for the department of jus
tice, in the hearing Of Delavan Smith
and Charles r.. Williams, publishers of
the Indianapolis News, charged with
criminal libel In having alleged In their
newspaper that there was corruption in
the purchase Of the canal o by this
country.
Mr.. Mcnamara pointed out to the
our that Mr.. Cromwell assured the
committee he had no interest IN the
matter, save as attorney; that he had
then received 100000 for his services,
and that he was In no haste to submit
his bill for further attorneys fees.
Nj. Cromwell added that J.. Pierpont
Morgan told him his banking house had
received only $4,000 for its services in
the collection, Of $40, 100000 paid by the
United States to the French company
through che Bank OF France at Paris.
Mr.. Mcnamara sought TO impress
upon the court that Mr.. Cromwell had
denied in detail that he had received q
cent from the government of Panama,
that he owned securities in the Panama.
Canal company, or that he had received
or expected to receive any compensa-
ton other than such as an attorney In
the case.

Morse's failure came during the pam
&c of 1907. For several years he had

Opinion Of Court.
IA the opinion handed down today
the court says:
I'VE fully realize the consequences
10 the defendant which must follow an
Rfhrmance OF this Judgment, and yet,
we cannot doubt that he was given a
fair trial and the verdict on the IA
counts was amply sustained by the
proof.

tions were so arranged as to conceal
the truth and to record transactions
which IN reality never took place"
Morse was taken to the Tombs

New York, Oct. 12-Bradstreet's today

New York, Oct. 12-Bradstreet's today
says:
Favorable reports are the rule in
nearly every line Of trade and industry.
with conservatism bred by high prices
for raw and manufactured products
and full order books OF manufacturers,
he only apparent bars to an even wider
distribution in most wholesale lines.
Wholesale trade in staple lines is good
beyond question, even the south, which
faces n short yield of cotton. showing
q better and more cheerful tone because
Of the high price offered for its leading
staple at q period Of nearly record crop
movement. On the other hand cotton
manufacturers here, at the south and
abroad are discussing curtailment Of
output In an effort to readjust prices
or goods which are strong and tending
upward to the advanced cost OF the
raw material. which Is 80 per cent
higher than a year ago. Shortages Of
cars In special lines are more in evil
n l. transportation than for W
years past. In the leading industries
fuller order books are the rule. Iron
n steel are active, zig iron produc-
ton Is at a record maximum and the
railroads are buying rails, material and
rolling stock freely. Some concessions
in pig prices are rumored, while i'm
ports are talked OF. Southern lumber
mills are busy.
h shoe trade is brisk. except at
some eastern manufacturing centers.
where early gains in shipments are not
maintained.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade today says:
From every large business center
throughout the country come reports Of
progressive improvement in trade. In
some instances the reports are more
than satisfactory; they speak of q pres
n and prospective increase in activ-
ity that is Indicative OF a return to even
more, than normal conditions. In some
cases the volume Of trade Is described
as equal to OF In excess of previous
records. In iron and steel the full pro-
ducttve capacity appears to have been
approached, and the. outlook for 1910 is
so bright that 1t Is Impossible to give
an account of II that does not break
through the pounds Of conservative ut
terances. The wholesale dry goods mar
kets have ~broadened, with some large
operations In staples, especially cottons.
Several sharp advances are announced
and many important lines are with
drawn or placed at value. Cotton yarns
are higher and more business Ia being
done. Less hesitation is noticed in
placing orders for mems wear for Inn
mediate delivery, and the dragging
dress goods markets show improve
ment. Knit underwear and hosiery
for immediate use are decidedly flrmer
and more active.

CHINESE WANTS TO BE
BIG COLLEGE ATHLETE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. t3.-For the
first time in its history Harvard uni
versity has a Chinese athlete.
Woo Chow Ii, resident Of America by
special edict of his emperor. has broken
all presidents at the college across the
Charles by announcing THAI he Is out
for athletic hoEors.
Armed with a record as a SRaek man
that might well be the envy or many an
American youth, an expert BOcrer play
er. and an ex-captain Of a team In his
own land, Ire not only has startled stu
dents at Cambridge by his atkletic pre-
tentions and by his defense Of HIS own
countrymen as men of athletic ability.
u he declares that he is ready at any
moment to back up his assertions and
to this end Is prepared to beat Ameri-
cans at their " game.
Ii Is In the class of '1e. He came
from the Pei Yang university at Tien-
tsin, North China, He entered Harvard
in the sophomore class, and viii there
fore complete the college course in three
years. @
During his college ours In his home
country ne went into athletics and In
stantIy won recognition. Pei Yang
university, perhaps, of all the Chinese
colleges, has a big advantage as a
training school for athletes owing 10
the q~uartering there Of a company OF
English officers. ~
