tion abroad and the influence on that position attributed to the borrowing operations In connection with the American speculation probably sharp ened the. criticism of the American op- erations.
 On Monday the Imperial Bank of Germany. and on Thursday. the Bank of England. advanced their oficial dis count rates a full one per cent. only . week after the preceding advance of one-haif per cent in each case.
 Successive advances at short inter- vals are most unusual amongst the great central banks under government supervision. The action was accepted as an evidence of an abnormal factor in the money market. and was a dis- appointment of the hope generally held that the worlds money market would remain easy for the rest of the pres ent year. -.
 Active speculation in Berlin and the heavy offerings in London of American finance bills in the process of borrow ing for New York account were named as factors which influenced the action of the Bank of England governors. in addition to the continued withdrawals of gold from London for various ac- counts. Some of the weeks events were viewed with varying sentiment as tue iuoNcHcnt VI pTiCcb buiitcas
 During the decline ;n prices . gloomy view was taken of the signi- icance of the large addition to stocks of refined copper during September. shipped by the Copper Producers Asso- ication. This consideration was ob- scured later by the diversion of att I. tention to the Iron and steel trade in which a new buying wave for iron appeared.
 The Union Pacihc annual election failed to bring a representative of J. P. Morgan G Co, into the board. as had been indicated. and the successor of E. H. Hartman elected to the New York Central Board was regarded as distinctly a Vanderbilt rcpresentative. These circhmstances were interpreted as refutation of rumors of further ex- tensive alliance amongst the great fi- nancial groups and as leaving open the possibilities of further rivalries.

 Neat sum-.

Ne1t sum-
 San Antonio. Tex. Oct. 7.-(Spe- Street, this city, Is glad that once he worked on the Pennsylvania Railroad, and that Andrew Carnegie was the superintendent of the line.
 'Dad Pagan" was in ignorance of the
 fact that the great steel master mad
 set aside fund for the men who then worked under him. until a letter, tell ing him of 1t, reached him from New York a few days ago. Some weeks ago
 stranger approached him and ques- tioned him closely about his connection
 with the Pennsylyania. Though Mir Pagan thought this rather odd. he
 paid no further attention to the incl dent and had forgotten all about it when he received the letter.
 Dad Pagan" came to San Antonio l in 1875 and until recently was em- ployed by the Southern Pacific. He Is none too prosperous.
 "It was back in, the sixties that worked for the Pennsylvania Road with Andy Carnegie as superintendent" he said, 'I was only a kid when start ed. but I put in nearly twelve years I had heard at times. now that I rec ollect, of Carnegie making provision for some of his employees. but l never connected 1t with myself and no such Idea of receiving such a fortune as this ever entered my head"
 The old railroad man was informed that his share. of the, fund. now read
 ing $40,O0O, Is being held in trust by an Eastern banking establishment and ia subject to his order. He expects that the munificence of the Laird O Skibo will keep, him in bread and but ter for the rest of his days.

 propose to sit down quietly to~ night and give an account of ths speaking here today we have been, ar- cnsed of niisrepresepting facts, ana I proposed to give them as I observed them and think will be borne out in the following;
 Hon. Phares Coleman arrived on the N, and O. train at 11.2s q ra. and, after q little rest and refreshments repaired to the place prepared by fnS. anti. amendment forces when tho re-, quest was made by the prohibitions amendment advocates fer . division cf time. which was granted and tnsx brought forward Senator Henry F. Reese. of Selma. Co present their siae of 1t. The terms of the agreefuanN were that MT. Coleman would open tha debate with one hour and ten minutes. Senator Reese to follow with one hoizE and twenty minutes. Mfr. Coleman ta have thirty minutes to reply.
 I think there were present. one huass dred and fifty men. c big majority of whom were voters, and registered who gave close attention to the spesksra and there was no boistcrous nor un~ usually conduct. Senator Reese niAda a fine temperance speech in which ha admitted that If he had been com.' mfssioned to draw up the second 6ec@ ton of the Amendment. he would have made some provision to protect the home
 To say that Hon. Phares Coleman handled the subject in q masteriy man-, ner can be best emphasized by rs- marks heard on the streets after the speaking such as HIS is q Cracked Jack.s "He is too much for them

FINANCIAL REVIEW,

New York. Oct. 1.-The banking po- sition was adjusted so far last week as to relieve the pressure on the stock market from the recall of credits on stock collateral and opeh the way for a vigorous rebound in prices of stocks.
 Except for the clouded money. out look. the industrial prospect was re- garded as being 50 strong as to offer clear promise of future enhancement of values. That there was consider able genuine liquidation of stocks held on margin was plainly shown bv the course of prices at the stock exchange. United States Steel was the leader of the speculative selling early in the week at S4 1-2. compared with 94 7-S. the high record made. in the preceding week. Dealings in this security con- tinued on an enormous scale.
 The movement was not free from criticism, especially from foreign sources, where the provision in the charter of the corporation. which per- Thits the buying and selling of the coEnpany's own shares was pointed to as giving undue power oyer the mar ket quotations for theaAshares on the present inside capftalista.

Colt. recently seized by the Mexican Government. |. An attorney has been retained. and. according to advices. the Mexican Gov ernment has no proof that the schoon- CT was poaching. but the statements of the officers of the gunboat making the seizure are practically the same as the crew of the schooner, that the vessel was hove to under reef. The firm win probably ask for damages for the seizure. as 1t has been put to much expense in addition to the loss of time.
