action by the house OF lords IN LONDON
IN appealing the budget decision to the

fairs by this action, as well as TO the
unsettlng influence on public sentiment
of the grave governmental issues IN
yolved, are destined TO have restraining
effect OF financial markets for some
time.
The same mixed view may be said TO
hold on the larger in the corporation
regulation question in this country. Some
thing was made today of the report OF
an Intention on the part OF the depart
ment of justice to ask for postpone

bacco case before the supreme court,

hesitation at the higher price levels.
There was resumption Of leadership by
some OF the highly speculative issues and
renewal of deal rumors. These CEN
tered conspicuously about the dissolution
of the Rock Island and st. Louis & San
francisco union and the possible alterna-
five alliance that might be made.
The retention OF the same dividend
rates by the New York Central and the
American Smelling disposed OF rumors
Of an intended increase, but did not pre-
vent those stocks from advancing With
the market Chicago & Northwestern

The effect OF the December money set

loan rates late In the day to 81 per cent
The continued large engagements OF gold
for export and the Withdrawals OF cash
from the banks by subtreasury operations
have narrowed the resources TO meet the
December lst demand. The railroad
switchmens' strike in the northwest
proved a disappointment OF hopes that

The rules of the Rhode Island-C Con-
necticut Baseball league require that
the roster of players, not more than
twelve for each team, be filed with
the president of the league at least
seventy-two hours before the time
fixed for the calling of the Saturday
games. Dr. John NJ O'Connell, pres
ident of the league, received these
rosters Wednesday afternoon. The
chief interest centers in the layers
selected for the games at Westerly
between the home team and the Ston-
ingtons, Saturday afternoon. 1t will
be a two-for-one feast and with West
erIy only one game in the lead for
the pennant there is warm interest
in the outcome.

would represent Stonington in the
contests with Westerly next Satur-
day, but the roster shows that rumor
untrue. Stonington will have only
three new players. Duggan, Ryan. and

by the grand old man: Il suppose the
Hindus find themselves better off under
British rule than under Moha1mmedan
despotism?"
"Well. sir replied Shyamaji Krish-

the Mohammedans kicked in the
back, whereas the British kick us in
the stomach.
In the same year the Pandit was
deputed by the secretary of state for
India to represent Indian culture at
the oriental congress at Berlin. and
again a Leyden, in 1888, a similar i'm

now a barrister-at-law returned to In

minister to the Maharaja of Rutlam, in
central India. Here he remained for
four years. having power of life and
death over the malarajas subjects.
Then, after practicing as a barrister
and filling two high posts in other ma
tive states. he devoted himself for some
years to successful business and was
director of several press companies.
