APPEAL OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

Bismarcks revelations. substantiated by tho
memoirs OF Prince Clovis Hohenlohe and other
of his contemporaries. show that at certain
moment in the SOS. when the Iron Chancellor,
in conjunction with Field Marshal Moltke and
the military element of Berlin. had completed all
the arrangements for reopening the struggle
with France. In the expectation OF crushing her
for all time beyond hope Of recovery. Queen Vic
toria avaled herself of her close personal friend
ship with old Emperor William, cultivated dur
Ing his stay in England and her sojourns in
Germany, to appeal to him in the interests OF
peace with SO much eloquence that he at once
put his foot down the mannuvres OF Bis
marck and of Motke. declared that he would no.
hear OF another during the remainder of his
reign. and thus prevented what would have be-
come a European conhagration. with terrible
loss of life. incalculable suffering and inrneas-
urabe ruin.
II must always be borne in mind that the con-
duct of the foreign policy OF nation is vested
OF the utmost Importance that he should be IN
close touch and on terms OF personal acquaint-
ance with his fellow rulers Had President
Roosevelt personally known the Gar. the Kaiser,
King Edward and the Mikado he would have
been In position TO move even still more rap
idly and effectively than he did In bringing the
In Manchuria TO a conclusion. And there
is no doubt that II the relations OF the United
States with Japan have become so much smooth
than they were twelve months ago 1t is be-
cause President Taft knows and is personally
known by the Tenno and by the leading states
men at Toxic, who are convinced OF his loyal
determination to maintain the friendliest rela-
tions with Dai Nippon That William H. Taft
is an extremely able diplomat has been voucAed

ANOTHER DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET Wall Street Is Scared About Money and Politics |TAFFS PLANS A BUGABOO Advance News Of the Presidents Mes sage Seems to Have Reached Wall Street With conse- quent Bearish Effect.
TAFT'S PLANS A BUGABO0
By THOMAS c. sHoTWELL.

New York. November N.-(Special.) D.
 Money and politics frightened Wall street Unto another bad break today. Amalga- mated Copper led because 1t was the most
 Vulnerable issue, but all the stocks de-
 Iclined in harmony, showing that the cause
 Iof the break was general and not con-
 lined to any one set of securities. In the
 early trading. when Amalgamated was
 weak, the traders got a notion that the
 lcopper merger had been abandoned, but lthis Is not true. Whether the merger is Ia bullish or bearish argument on stocks is separate question. but the merger Itself Is progressing favorably.
 What caused the trouble was a report that Morgan and few favored ones had ireceived from Washington advance drafts Ebf the Presidents message. Reports of what these advance notices contained in- Idicate that the President intends to say snothing more to Congress than he has all gready said in his various speeches. The President proposes, according to Wall Estreet reports today, to let the interstate Ecommerce commission have so many new Spowers that 1t will amount to the wiping Tout of the boards of directors of all the frailroads. It seems that the President is Ito be President of all the railroads as well as of all the people. Morgan was said Ito be laborlng with MT. Taft in the hope sof getting some modification of the Ian, Eguage which he considers more alarming lthan the situation warrants. Morgan Iseems to fear that the President may ex- icite some freak legislation.
 The feature of the money market that Icaused worry was the heavy calling of iloans on Friday There were more loans Ecaled and renewed on Friday than on any bother one day in recent months. Many Ebrokers who adjusted their loans on Fri lday decided this morning to sell their Istocks and thousands of shares were Ithrown on the market without regard to Iprices. These people claim that they are worried about the low price of money, as lit must be artificial They seem to for Iget all about the production of $1,200, 900 GOO Iof gold since the last boom. and the exis- ltence of the s5Oo,000, GOO of Aldrich money.

FURTHER LOSSES
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Liquidation Is Heavy and Mar
 ket Gradually Weakens
ALL NEWS IS BEARISH
Selling In Corn Market Is Also Gen. eral and Prices Decline In All Options-Oats and Provisions
 Close Steady.

Chicago, November N.-Renewed liqui dation of the December delivery forced wheat to a lower level here today, prices at the close showing loses of ho to asc to 1c compared with the final quotations of the previous day. Corn closed easy, while oats and provisions were steady.
 The December delivery was again sub- Jected to general selling and as re- suit the premium of that option compared with the May delivery was entirely dis sipated at one time. both months selling at s1.0S. News of the day was more fa- vorable to the bears and this helped to weaken the market. During the day the December delivery sold between s1.08 and S1 .067s, while May ranged between H.05& Q1 1.06Ss. At the close December was at S1.063s and May at s1.06.
 Liquidation of December holdings was also a feature of trading in the corn pit, and as a result of this selling the market was rather weak all day. The slump in wheat tended to aggravate the selling pressure. Prices at the close were MDAc to SsQ14c lower than the previous day close.
 Oats withstood the weakening tendency of tho decline in other grain and ruled steady all day. Buying of the Decem- Der delivery by cash interests was the sustaining factor.
 The market closed steady with prices Mo lower to 1So higher.
 Provisions were strong early in the ses- sion owing to buying by shorts based on the continued light movement of live hogs in the west. In the final half of the day, sentiment became easier because of realizing sales. The market closed steady with prices 21ho lower to 5o higher.
 Future quotations ranged as follows

The Private Secretary.
,om the St. Louis Post-pispatoh.

From the St. Louis PoSt-DlSpatoh.
 Private secretaries and congressional stenographers are very useful adJuncts Of the government, according to Uncle Joe" Cannon, speaker of the national House of Representatives. The law allows ''Un- cle Joe' two private secretaries and he makes good use of both.
 "A public man couldn't get along with out private secretaries" said Uncle Joe, - while in St. Louis recently. ''The con- gressmen would all be made ridiculous but for experts like my secretary, J. w. Murphy
 "Once in a dozen times youl make a. bad blunder, and the newspapers will print it, and you get in hot water back home. until your private secretary turns up with a neat speech-just the thing you ought to have said, but didn't. Of course, as he was there and took it down in shorthand, and nobody else can read his notes, his word has to be accepted.
 Take the congressman who make speeches for campaign material. If the speeches went to their constituents as they were delivered in Congress most of the men would not come back a second time. But fellows like Murphy take the speeches in hand. When they appear in the Congressional Record the sentences are short and crisp. The periods are well rounded The climaxes are in the right place. The jokes really have point to them.
 'eYes, sir" continued the speaker, I'm for the private secretaries. It doesn't make any difference how many dashes the newspapers may inject into my speeches, I can depend upon 1t there won't be any damns' in them by the time my secretary gets through with them. The country is safe as long as the gov ernment furnishes the congressman ard senators with bright young men for sec retaries."

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York. November 27.-(Special.)- Cables were disappointing this morning, but this is now such a regular occur renee with Liverpool that but little in- 1uence results on our market here, a good demand in December and January at the discount has Q steadying effect at the opening, which was practically at last nights prices. The markets showed mo- mentary hesitation after the opening on realizing sales in May from Wall street houses. Bull support was immediately afforded, however and the market set tied down into a steady quiet, which lasted through most of the morning. No fresh news apepared, and but little is expected prior to the December esti- mate, which is more and more overshad- owing the market. The week end fig ures made a bullish comparison as to re- ceipts, which is natural, and such com parison must continue for some time to come If the crop Is to be as short as gem orally expected.
