the great magnitude of this work, and limitless possibilities, benefcent or otherwise, that leone to you at this early stage in our proceedings to tell yon. not only for myself. but for the commission in so far as I can. just what we have done and to ask your cooperation in our future proceedings The work upon which we are enter ing Is one of the most serious ever un- dertdken in the country and it must be the result of practical suggestion rather than of theoretical dlsscrta- tion."
 The Subject of Bank Issues.
 The nearest approach that Mir. Ald- rich made to any indication of a plan was lis return to the subject of bank Issues. He again mentioned the fact tha. tho European countries were agreed on that subject and again re- ferred to the circumstances that most or all of those countries have main central banking institutions for the is- suance of bank paper.
 He said, however that it could not be expected that any European banking system could be transplanted in its en- tirety to the United States, and he again pointed out the great necessity of finding plan which would not disturb established banks or interfere with tho
 
 tenn was adopted he said. must be one looking to gradual changes and must have due regard to bested interests and sectional usage. Again he assured his hearers of his desire to hold the subject entirely above political bias and he went into some detail to con- vince his audience that it would ba possible to adopt a system which would accomplish this desirable result.
  Country Need Not Undergo Another
 Panic.
 Mir. Aldrich dwelt also upon the ne- cessity of developing system of credit which would protect the country against such disastrous results as were experienced during the bankers panic of 1907.
 He expressed the decided opinion that with proper safeguards the coun- try need not again undergo such a general crash as was then precipitated with so little reason in the business conditions of the country. He was confident that with sufficiently elas- tic and a sufficiently relative credit system such conditions as arose previ- ous to that disaster could be entirely averted. or SO restricted as to affect only few 'plungers" and their imme- diate associates.
 He spoke of tho commanding posi- tion of St Louis as a gateway to the southwest and expressed the conviction that the business men of St. Louis could be of great assistance to the commission.

WHY HARTFORD HAS NO BISHOP.
Cause of Delay in Appointing Sue
 cessor to Late Michael Tierney.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 8.-The delay In the appointment Of a successor to the late Bishop Michael Tierney of the Roman Catholic diocese of Hartford is explained by the Rev. J. G. Murray. chancellor of the diocese, as being due to the reorganization of the Roman Curia on Nov. ?. 1903. Prior to that date the appointments for bishops of dioceses in England and the United. States depended on the congregation of the propaganda, but now that power has been vested in the consistorial con gregation, which, is now consulted up- on appointments for practically the whole Roman Catholic world. a few missionary dioceses being excepted. The change brought great amount of additional work upon the consistorial congregation. which had to acquaint itself with conditions in its new terri tory, all of which meant delay.

LESS STARTLING
 COSTUMES SHOWN.
More Interest in Entries Than in New
 Gowns-National Horse Show.

New York, Nov. S.-Heavy skies and a steady drizzle outside detracted nothing from the brilliance of the first night of the twenty-fifth national horse show at Madison Square Garden. Never does the garden look so well as when the floor is spread with tanbark and the white walls of the. encircling boxes rise on all sides, but tonight, with the ceiling draped in blue, the girders and supports cased in greens, and the latticework trellised with pink roses and glistening with colored elec- tric lights, the semblance of an outdoor meet at village track was better simulated than ever.
 Judging began this morning at 10 o'clock, but society did not fill the boxes until this evening. Costumes were not so startling this year as some that have been seen before and there was more interest in the horses than in the white shoulders and new gowns in the boxes.
 Attention centered for the day on the British and Canadian army officers, who appeared here for the first time in the history of the association. Their showing in the jumping class was far behind the general run of entries and they failed to take a prize of any sort.
 LDC OAiAy lIt5Aicp VI llO ddS OSSdAA late today. Judge William H. Moore of New York, a well known exhibitor, was just pinning the blue ribbon for horses shown in harness to his bay gelding Flourish when the animal reared and, driving his forefeet into the judges stand, upset chairs, broke a table and bowled over a gorgeous fiunkey. Judge Moore regained control without leaving his seat and drove Flourish out unhurt
 Judge Moore was again a winner of the blue tonight in the class for novice harness horses with his Lady Seaton. Gangelt of c. w. Watson's Fairmont Fairs took second. and Quicksand, an- other Moore entry, third.
 The classes were so large that they had to be shown in squads and judging was much delayed George Watson with Indian Flower, a magnificent chestnut mare, won a blue in the class for novice saddle horses. The red went to Artists Model of the Elsinore farm, Long Island.
 Judge Moore was again to the front with his winning four-in- -hand--Phyl- lis, Amaryllis, Chiquito and Lonsdale Second went to the Fairmont Farms quartette.
 Among the blue ribbon winners in the judging of early classes were Ja- cob B. Perkins of Cleveland and the Willisden Farms of New Centerville, Pa- The Wiltisden Farms two year old hackney Cation Tinker Bell took first prize in the hackney class
