speculative Sentiment Cheered.

Moreover, speculative sentiment was
disposed to be greatly cheered by the news
made public yesterday and the day before
of the transfer of control of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society and the
Guaranty Trust Company. all this indi-
eating a greater concentration Of finan-
cial power and the existence of closer
community of financial interest than has
hitherto been established. The argument
was also heard that the purchases re-
ferred to would not have been made If
doubt as to the financial future existed
fin any high quarter Again, optimism
was excited by some indications, or what
We're alleged to be such. that the strike of
switchmen in the northwest was petering
out and few people seemed inclined to
regard, at any rate for the moment, the
possibility that larger demands by railway
employees for increased pay would cut
any particular figure a financial infiu-
ence In weeks Immediately to come.
Finally. inasmuch as the market seemed
10 be thoroughly in receptive mood.
story was circulated on the floor OF the
stock exchange that the government had
decided to withdraw the famous suits
instituted in Mr.. Roosevelt's time against
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
railway companies. having for their OBJ
iect the dissolution of the merger of the
two companies.
Final prices of stocks were almost uni
formly at the highest of the day.

Money Not Affecting Market.

The weekly bank statement was entire
ly without force as a stock market fac
tor and the statement itself was, rela-
lively speaking, noncommittal. de-
crease of S1.599.22 in the average cash
surplus of the banks was brought about
bv an average decrease in loans of So
$4,000. a decrease in deposits of nearly
S1.Uo,o0O and a falling off of about $4.-
10000 in cash. The actual figures did
not differ materially from these except
that in it the decreases in both loans and
cash were a little greater.
1t seems to be the case that money
considerations are not now affecting the
stock market in any degree whatever.
Whether or not as the result of merely
temporary circumstances the present
tendency of money is toward a lower
level in all the great financial centers.
and the welcome development in our
own country in this respect is an active
return of money from the interior.

;6RIAND'S SPEECH APPLAUDEO
EMPHASIZES RoME'S ATTITUDE
SAYS THE TEMPS.
Peace When Clergy Follows Die
tates of Conscience, Rather
Than Church Restraints.

PARIS, November 27.-Of great impor
lance the Temps considers the discussion
of the church question in the chamber
Of deputies by Premier BRAND yesterday
who spoke in reply to a speech of Abb.
Gayraud.
BRAND again emphasized how. in spite
Of the wishes of majority of the French
bishops. clergy and the great body o,
Catholics, the Church of Rome has re-
fused to recognize the separation law
and continues to repulse all efforts al
Cancellation which have been proposed by
parliament, and even goes SO far as tt
make war on the public schools.
A new spirit, the paper declares, must
rule the Vatican before settlement Is
possible. This is evidenced by the re
fusal of the Vatican to aid in the settle
ment of the church question in France
whereas it stops at nothing to insure
peace and conciiate the governments OF
other countries.
The Temps points out that under the
broad intelligence of Leo XIII the situa.
ton would be treated with liberality anC
common sense, and concludes with the
assertion that religious peace will come
when the church restricts its energy to
religion, and the French clergy follow the
dictates of conscience instead of intran-
SigeInt orders from Rome.

Yesterday afternoon was ideal for the

ticipation in the matinee try-out. Inc
drivers and riders began to gather at .
o clock and for two full hours they spec
up and down the track liInbering up their
horses and occasionally taking friendly
brush with their neighbors. Some OF the
finest thoroughbred steppers III the city
were on the track and there were some
brisk tests Of speed during the course OF
the afternoon.
Gen Nelson A. Miles was early on the
track with his team, a full thoroughbred
and a trotting bred gelding, the latter d
descendant of the famous Ethan Allen.
Maj Gen Hayward. United States Ma
rIne Corps, retired. was an interested
spectator.
Among the fine steppers that tried the
splendid new course were Manuella, with

male, young and old, on foot, in carriages
and in automobiles.

DEMOCRATIC WRANGlE CERTAIN
COMMITTEE CALLED TO PICK
MAN FOR COMMISSIONER.
Kelley Faction Would Select Party
Man, and Costello Crowd Favors
One Not Politically Active.

A call for a meeting of the democratic
central committee of the District, to be
held in Eagle Hall, 9th and e streets
northwest, next Wednesday night, to in
dorse a democrat to succeed District
Commissioner West, has been issued by
j. Fred Kelley, chairman of the commit
tee.
That there will be pretty fight among
the democrats at the meeting appears
certain beyond doubt. 1t is said that the
committee is divided into two factions,
one of which will urge the Endorsement
of a strict party man. a man who has
been active in politics. and the other will
fight for the Endorsement of a man who
mas not been personally active in poll
tics.
The latter faction holds that the Pres
ident is not likely to appoint u democrat
who has been strongly active in politics,
but that good man with democratic
ideas should be Endorsed in the hope of
getting democratic representation on the
board of Commissioners
At the head of the faction which will
support the strictly party man is j. Fred
Kelley and w. Mckee Clayton. secretary
of the committee it is said At the head
of the other faction is W. y. Costello.
An attempt was made over d week ago
to get the committee together, but MIR.
he--ey declined to call a meeting until he
mad been requested in writing by ten
members of the committee, the method
prescribed by the constitution for OBJ
laining meeting.
1t was said at the time that Mr.. Kelley
mad a candidate that he wished Endorsed,
out did not feel himself sufficiently strong
20 bring about his Endorsement at that
time. 1t was also said that Mr.. Costello
felt more confidence i'll getting his man
recommended.
Another attempt to hold d meeting was
made Friday night, but the call for that
meeting was issued by Mr.. Costello, the
vice chairman. and was not recognized
as an official call by Mr.. Kelley and Mr..
Clayton. 1t was announced after the
meeting held in Costelio's Hall that prob
ably all the members of the committee
would attend the Wednesday meeting.

MORE ROOM FOR ALIENS.
New York Immigrant Station Needs
Addition

The improvement of the immigration
station at Ellis Island by the addition OF
one story will be urged upon Congress a.
the coming session.
Commissioner Williams yesterday show
ed plans for the building as proposed to
be enlarged to Secretary Nagel. The adj
dition is expected to cost $4,000 and tn
plans were recently drawn by Supervis-
ing Architect Taylor of the Treasury TO
use in the project.
Commissioner Williams says the i'm
provement is urgently needed because OF
the "shockingly congested" condition OF
that station. He pointed out that the
service there, by exacting 81 a head or
immigrants, more than paid for itself
