New York, July 25.-The appear
ance of intermingled strength and
weakness in the stock market last
week kept the tone confused and had
the effect of causing some suspicion of
the market position. The course of TIL"
speculation hinged largely on techni-
cal considerations. the news of events
still showing improvements in what
makes for prosperity. The stock mar
ket itself, however, was not free from
signs of strain from a prolonged adj
vance and from the effort of maintain
ing prices at the high level achieved,
The action of United States Steel was
main influence in creating this i'm
preston. The price failed to hold the
high level at 70, touched at the end Of
the preceding week although the new
advance in Union Pacific served for
time to sustain that stock and the gen.
eral market Union Pacific and United
States Steel shared between them the
dominating influence on the whole
market The assumption had grown in
stock market circles that the dividen!
on United States Steel would be in
creased on Tuesday of this week. This
was fostered by various considerations,
principally by the price to which the
stock had been carried in the market
Reports of the earnings to be shown
for the past quarter We're highly fav-
orable and feeling in the trade was
cheerful and highly confident While
expectation has veered way from the

market price of the stock of leaving
the dividend unchanged remains a SUBJ
ject of conflicting surmise.

FIGHT DISEASE SPREAD
IN CHINESE LAUNDRIES
Method of Sprinkling Clothes TO be stopped ey
Chicago Health Officisls, Who See
Danger In Practice

Criminal action may be taken against Chinese
laundrymen in Chicago who sprinkle clothes
by blowing water through their mouths
Complaints have been brought 10 the attention
of Health Commissioner Evans that disease
has resulted from this practice.
GERMS LODGE IN COLLAR.
These complaints. coming upon the heels of
reports from Patterson. New Jersey, that a
citizen of that place had contracted leprosy
from a collar ironed by a Chinese laundry
mar, have caused an investigation TO be made
here. The collar was rough edged and the
germs Of the dread disease lodged in these
breaks in ,he linen, the doctors say.
The possibility of such thing in Chicago
has stirred the health authorities.
A thorough inspection Of Chinese laundries
is to be made, the owners will be compelled to
keep their places in sanitary condition and the
Chinese practice Of sprinkling clothes through
the mouth viii be stopped.
CALLS METHOD DANGEROUS.
DR., Herman spaIding. in charge of the de-
partment Of contagious diseases, declared the
method Of doing up clothes in Chinese laun-
dries was dangerous and ought to be prohibited
by law.
'sThe mouth is the favorite breeding place for
germs" he said. III a Chinaman had lepro>y.
consumption, pneumonia or other diseases his
mouth would be iuil Of infection. To deliber-
ately spread this on clothing is almost erimi-
nal. That may be the wav in which the Pater-
son mans collar spread leprosy. Doctors now
admit that il can be caught by incubation"
An ordinance or state law is suggested by the
health authosi,ies to prevent unsanitary
methods Of laundry work. 1t is said that IRON
ing even will not kil all the disease germs on
linen.-From Chicago Daily Journa., January

LODGE AND THE PLATFORM.
His Version of the Revision Pledge
DisapprOved.

Chicago Record-Herald.
Senator Lodge interprets his party
platform as strict constructionist
and says: Nobody every pledged me
to revise the tariff downward or to
revise 1t upward. What we are
pledged to Is a revision, and I suppose
we are here to revise in view of the
interests Of the whole country. II it
Is wiser to give greater protection, we
should do that, and IL It is wise TO
keep them as they are. then that
should be DONE"

but We are forced by It to the conclu-
sion that the statesman and scholar
from MASSACHUSETTS, is disingenuous.
Not only was ne, tariff plank in the
Asepabiican platform adopted because
OF the pressure for q revision down..
ward, but the agitation for q down.
ward change In certain schedules was
particularly loud In tho senator's own
state. Not a person In the entire
country could have believed last June
that the plank was the result Of a de-
mand for increased protection. The
standpatters were willing to stand
right where they were, to let we'll
enough alone, as some Of them ex-
pressed It. That was the state of
affairs when the convention said:
Tho Republican party declares un-
eQuivocally for a revision Of the tariff
by special session Of congress i'm
mediately following the Inauguration
OF the next president. and commends
the steps already taken to this end in
the work assigned to the appropriate
committees Of congress" There was
to be a special session not to re-enact
the Dingley law, but to make modifi-
cations in that law owing to public
dissatisfaction over its schedules, and
the complaints We're practically all Of
one kind and were directed against
excessive rates.
1t Is true that a principle of re-
vision was announced and that under
1t increases might be made but
the tariff plank itself speaks of
preserving without excessive du-
ties" security against foreign COM
petition, and it has been interpreted
as the people understand it by the
man who was the party's candidate
for president and who won the cleo
ton.
