al Campo and Check Advance on
EmbaHsy-POpe May Intercede for
the Condemned Anarchist.

Rome, Oct. 12.-More than 5000 persons
attended a mass meeting to-day in the
Piazza di Campo TO protest against the
sentence Of death pronounced against
Prof Francisco Ferrer the noted Span
ish anarchist who will be shot to-nor-
row at Barcelona Those present were
mostly laborers and shopkeepers with a
large proportion Of the dregs Of the popu-
lation, the unemployed. Discontinued and
hooiigans. led by socialists and anarch-
lists.
Violent speeches hostile to spain and
the Vatican were made and these were
greeted with groans and cries OF down
with Spain" death 20 the Pope" and
death to Merry del Val" The harangues
lasted FOR more than an hour and then
they were interrupted by the sight OF a
dirig!ble balloon. which unexpectedly ap-
peared, making circles over the meeting
place.
Police Take Precautions.
The police had taken precautions to
guard against disorders and troops were
concealed at convenient places. where
their services could be quickly called
upon
The meeting ended calmly. but when
the mob attempted to cross the bridges
cavalry blocked their way while In
fantry were lined eight deep along the
street and at the corners leading TO
the two Spanish embassies and the Vati-
can. When the mob saw these prepara-
tons they hesitated for while and then
attempted 10 rush the lines.
They were checked by the infantry with
fixed bayonets while the cavalry deliv-
cred charges. Each charge was preceded
by warning bugle call. which created
a panic among the crowd and caused a
stampede. portion Of the demonstrators
succeeded. however, in reaching the CEN
ter Of the city through side streets
They occasionally penetrated the MILL
tRry Gordon and started running toward
the Palasso di Spagna, where the Spanish
embassy TO the Vatican is located The
embassy building was surrounded by
troops eight deep, and the. rnob's at
tempt to reach it were fruitless.
Soldiers RepuIse Charges.
The police used their fists freely and
the soldiers charged repulsing the attacks.
The mob made similar efforts 20 reach
the Vatican, but they were frustrated in
like manner. Stones were thrown at
the cavalry. A few shop windows were
broken. but the disturbances were insig-
nlfcant. The troops are still holding
their positions. but the danger of con-
hiCts is considered to be past.
The Tribuna says the Pope intends to
ask King Alfonso 10 grant Ferrer
respite Lawyers in Rome called at the
Spanish embassy to-day and delivered
20 the ambassador a resolution against
Ferrer's trial and conviction.
Paris. Oct. 12.-The daughter Of Prof.
Francisco Ferrer to-day sent a touching
message by telegraph 20 King Alfonso,
appealing 10 the monarch's generosity
and chivalry 20 save the life Of her

FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

The New York Stock Exchange was
closed yesterday on account of the OBJ
.servance Of Columbus Day in that city
Both the Wall street and the curb mar
kets were idle as well as the cotton and
grain exchanges Several other cities fol-
lowed the example Of New York, notably
Baitimore-the exchanges and the banks
being closed IA that city. The board Of
trade in Chicago held its usual session,
as did the Washington Stock Exchange.
Local brokers and holders Of Lanston
stock in this city received in yesterday
mornings mail notices from the directors
Of the company that a special meeting OF
the stockholders would be called 20 meet
in Alexandra on October g for the pur-
pose of voting upon the question OF in
creasing the capital stock from $500. coo
10 100000. and making the par value
Of the shares 500 each, Instead OF $40.
This naturally gave to the value OF the
stock more than the usual interest 50
far as the local exchange was concerned
it was the signal for hesitancy and in
activity. Two broken lots OF the stock
were sold. one at 10 and one at IS IS
These sales were regarded as feelers 10
ascertain what the general sentiment
might be In regard 70 the ability OF the
company 10 earn dividends upon the IN
creased capital. The price was more
than a point below the top range Of
last week.

was shown again yesterday when very
active bidding failed 20 bring out more
than sixty shares at an advance over

AD MlNiSTRATIVE FEATURES.

The bill marks distinct departure
in that it provides for corporation
tax and a court of customs. The cor.
poratiou tax, while yielding large
amount Of revenue, is primarily de.
signed for the purpose of governmen'
tai regulation of corporations, and il
will have this effect.
The fact that the amount of the tax
to be assessed was lowered from
per cent to | per cent is considered
by the members of congress 10 evi-
dence clearly that the bill has regula.
tion for its object and not merely
revenue.
The customs court of appeals will
further centralize the national gov
ernment, and it will place the intri-
cate and technical cases as to the
construction of the law and the facts
respecting classification of merchan-
disc and rate of duty under the juris-
diction of men who are specialists in
this line. There is no appeal from
this court, which will sit in Washing
ton and the members of which will
be appointed by the president.
For the purposes of the operation
of this court the country has been
divided into nine customs judicial
districts.
While many items in the bill show
revision downward, il will as a whole
provide for an increased revenue
continuing in general effect the Re
publican policy of protection.
Governmental measures of retalia
tion against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi
mum and minimum provisions enable
a higher rate of tax to be imposed on
the products of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case
The creation of a commission to
look into the question of the tariff
from a nonpartisan viewpoint is an
innovation that has been suggested
for many years. II is generally looked
on as a move toward taking the
tariff out of politics
A policy long ago established by
tariff makers in this country is re
FAMED in the new measure. II Is the
ilaposing of particularly heavy duties
ON luXuries.

PRICE TWO CENTS.

The drawback" provisions are In
dicative Of more kind hearted gov.
ernmental attitude than had been
considered probable. In brief, a
drawback is a refund of duty moneys
paid on material imported into this
countrywhich is used in the manufac.
ture Of articles which are themselves
exported from this country.
The guiding spirit in the formula.
tion of the provisions of the new
measure has been one to Ak duties
that do not necessarily encourage for.
eign importation, but that render It
impossible for combination of capi
tai in any given line to raise prices
above those that now exist and tc
prevent them in general from being
further raised. President Taft has
taken particular pains to point out
this circumstance. Competition that
existed when the Dingley bill was
enacted has been wiped out by the
consolidation Of companies and the
combination of interests. President
Taft renders the opinion that the
Payne tariff bill will in large measure
restore the possibility OF successful
competition i'm the business fields so
affected

SUN FRANKS.
Irregularities For Which Science Cam
not Altoaether Account.

Irregularities For Which Science Cam
not Altogether Account.
The sun is generally looked upon as
model of regularity which never
fails in its duty, but the ancient his.
torians mention several instances
when 1t failed to give forth its usual
amount Of heat and light for periods
varying from three hour5 to sewers,
months. Data on the subject have
been compiled by the st. Louis Repub-
lic
According TO Plutarch. the year a.
b. G. was one in which the sun was
"weak and pale" for a period approx
mating eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sunlight
I'm the year 034 A. D.. and. according
TO Humboldt, this uncanny period end
ed with strange and startling sky phe-
nomena, such MS loud atmospheric ex-
p!osions. riffs in the vaulted canopy
of blue above and in divers other rare
and unaccountable freaks"
In the year 1901. on Sept 30 (see
Humboldts "Cosmos'n, the sun turned
suddenly black and remained so for
three hours and did not regain its nor
NAL condition for several days.
According to the noted Helmuth's
"Solar Energy" the days Of seeming
inactivity on the part of the sun (the
days following the sudden blackening
Of the great orb We're noted for n
peculiar greensh tinGe and are mark
ed in old Spanish. French and Italian
records as "the days of the green sun"
February, 1l0G A. D.. is noted in the
annals OF marvellous phenomena as a
month in which there were several
days that "the sun appeared dead and
black. like a great circular cinder float
ing in the sky"
"On the last day of February, 1906"
says au old Spanish writer on astron-
omy, astrology and kindred subjects.
1.-The sun appeared suddenly to go out
causing a darkness over the country
for about six hours" In 12i1 the Eu-
ropean countries experienced another
siege of supernatural darkness. which
the superstitious writers Of that time
attributed TO Gods displeasure over
the result of the great battle OF Lieg-
nitz.
Even today there are certain irregu-
larlties of the sun that science cannot
altogether account for. These are the
so called sun spots-enormous dark
splotches which appear from time to
time on the solar disk and which are
supposed to have great influence on
the atmospheric conditions of the
earth. Scientists have long studied
these phenomena, but neither their ex-
tent nor periodicity has ever been de-
termined.
