FINANCIAL REVIEW
FOR THEPAST WEEK
Reports From New York Show
Conditions to Be About
Normal.

New York, Dec. 26.-PreparatiOns were
in progress last week to meet heavy Obli-
cations incident to the January disburse-
ments, which, in New York, are estimated
to be $2250O0000.
There were heavy remittanCes to for
eign markets to meet payments Of divi-
dends and interest to holders of Ameri-
can securities, so it was q question un-
til the middle of the week whether gold
shipments TO London would not have to
be made.
CURED after the sailing of the last steam
er which would make delivery in London
in time for New Years.
Volatile rises occurred in individual
stocks, mostly from vaguely rumOred
causes, but there were enough dividend
increases to keep hopeful spirit among
stockholders.
The census bureaus cotton ginning es-
innate was regarded as cOnfiTmatOry of
the agricultural departments view of the
cotton crop shortage, and the rise in cot
ton TO above Is cents pointed to the
causes responsible for the high cost Of
living and the Disadvantages this in
VOlVed.
This question was given added interest
by steps taken by railroad employees to
formulate demands for an increase in
wages early next year. Sentiment is not
free from apprehension that labor troubles
may nave to be reCkOned with in reach
ing settlement
The disposition in financial circles. how
ever, is to take a hopeful view Of this
question. The same is true OF the subject
OF legislative ana executive activities in
the direction of corporation regulation
which promises to be brought forward
early through special messages from the
President.

IN THE BLACK REPUBLIC.
Opera Bouffe Features of the Hay
tien Government.

The two principal industries Of Hayti
are revolutions and war with SantO Do
mingO. Latterly there has been a letting
down Of the barriers which have shut off
the great forests of the interior, and eE-
plOitatiOn Of the rich natural resources
by American, English and German cap
ital has been welcomed. Previously Wis
itOrs to Hayti in times of peaCe-which
have been times akin to periods Of indus
trial depression in this cOuntry-haVe
found the most interesting objects the
generals, the rest of the army and tine
cOncessionaire, who might have had his
preliminary training selling Indian med
icine or brass jewelry under a gasoline
lamp.
When there is something doing I'm the
revolution line, the army may spruce
up, but once seen at one Of the monthly
Sunday morning parades it is something
never to be forgotten. The wonder is
that KlaW & Erlanger never have brought
one Of the provincial aggregations to the
states, set ii to music, and made a barrel
of money out of IL. About every twenty
feet there could be seen a general I'm
green coat, red trousers, and a Chapeau
bedecked with rooster feathers, riding a
diminutive horse. Between the generals
struggled a ragamuffin army carry
ing or dragging its guns. If some sulky
private left the column because his pay
Of about 50 cents a month was overdue
and wandered away, nobody took the
trouble to go after him.
The cOncessiOnaire, operating every
steam or electricity, made tourists his
side line. He ran the ice factory, and
after he had rendered his bill for enough
ice to fill the refrigerator on yacht
and forced a basket of alligator pears
and a bottle Of native guava wine on the
traveller his prophecy of clearing up
quarter Of a million in two years and re-
turning to Goods country" to eniOv life
would not be disputed. He came high,
but his influence was worth while some
times. He and the gOvernOr-alsO gem
eral-seemed to understand each other
pretty thoroughly, and If you must have
soft coal in order to leave port, q COM
bination of cOncessiOnaire and highballs
would cause the governor to sell 1t to you
from the government pile at s25 a ton.
Your own crew shOveled II aboard, and
there was nobody to keep account Of how
many tons were taken The whole pro-
ceeding would have driven a Tammany
politician green with envy.
In spite, however, of mtsgovernment
by its politicians, its revolutions. the muir
der and pillage, and the atrocities attrib-
uted to vOOdoO worship, Hayti has made
progress I'm many ways. It's capital has
fine buildings, education has been ex-
tended, and the country pays interest on
its bonded debt Though the past has
many a discOuraging page, the future is
not altogether hOpeless.-Chicag Record

STATEHOOD MAY Be
DELAYED FOR YEAR
New Mexico and Arizona Will
Eventually Be Admitted If
Plans Carry.

Washington. Dec. 26.-Statehood lcgis-
lation at the present session of
Congress viii not go beyond giving
authority to the people of New Mexico
and Arizona to hold constitutional con-
ventOns and provide means for such
conventions If the wishes of leading
members Of Congress dictate the policy.
This program is in harmony with the
messages Of President Taft.
In the last session of the SiXtieth con-
gresS the house passed a bill to admit
New Mexico and Arizona only as sep
arate states. Tt was predicted the meas
ure would go through the Senate
quickly. Such was not the case. some
members of the Senate committee did
not like the looks of certain land
grants to individuals which had been
received under territorial administra-
ton. Some claims for large holdings
under Spanish grants also were viewed
with suspicion. Furthermore, estimates
coming from the territories as to pOpu-
latiOn, both as to numbers and class
were not accepted, and it was thought
best TO delay action until after the 1910
deCennial census could be completed.
Mr.. Taft's recommendations it Is
said, viii supply the excuse for delay.
The President urges that care be exc
ercised in the preparation of legisIa-
ton affecting each territory to secure
elaboration I'm the selection of persons
as members of the convention to draft
a constitution of the incoming state"
and that such legislation, after adop-
ton by the conventions, shall be sub
mitted to the people for their approval
at an election at which the sole issue
shall be the merits of the constitution"
In the case of the adoption Of the con-
stitutiOn for Oklahoma the election was
complicated with the selection Of state
officers, and Mr.. Taft is determined this
situation shall not recur I'm New Mexico
and Arizona. In the event of their being
no issue before the people of each ter
ritory. except the adoption or rejection
Of the constitution, it is believed the
best judgment of the people should pre-
vail Should the conventions draft legis-
latiOn which does not adequately protect
public interests in the matter of safe
guarding public lands and natural re-
sources, and should those constitutions
be adopted by votes of the people of the
territories, the President could reject them
if he desired, and congress could again
open the way for the adoption of salts
factory constitutions. This course was
weIl-nigh impossible I'm the case of Okla
hOma, I'm which the people had expressed
their choice OF state officers. and justice
had to be done them.
Indications are that a bill viii be passed
at this session providing for the means
of holding constitutional conventions and
for elections to pass upon the question of
adopting or rejecting constitutions 1t is
believed that the effect win be to insure
good state constitutions and make it GER
tain that two new stars viii be added to
the flag within year Of the adjourn
ment Of the present congress.

lists Of books and great deal of other
Army Officers Scarce.

1t IS becoming more and more difficult
to get officers for the English army,
and although the secretary of war, Mr.
Haldane, insists that the difficulty is
merely temporary Cr accidental, many
military experts are taking a very grave
view OF the situation.
After a lecture on THE Army as a
Profession" at the United Service insti-
tuition last Wednesday, a former war
secretary and several others committed
themselves TO some very grave stTic-
lures on the existing state of affairs.
Lieutenant General Hutchinson, who
was recently in charge of military edu-
cation at the war Office admitted that
the army nowadays was not popular as
profession, and that vacancies fol
commissions were greater than the
number of candidates.
This is a very unsatisfactory state of
affairs, and is also very hard on indi-
viduals. At present candidates gain
commissions without competitive exam
nations. Yet a short while back many
desirable candidates were precluded
from entering the military profession
by reason of the severity Of the compe-
tition.
Lord Middleton even COntended that
in order to obtain the class of officers
we want, the government must make
the attractions OF military equal to that
of the civil service. The question Of
pay viii have to be taken in hand Sc
TiOusly before long otherwise we can
not expect regimental officers to give
up their whole time and reach the pres
ent high standard of efficiency on such
a wage, with no prospects befO1e them
unless they have been through the staff
college.
Moreover, nowadays, even if they
have been through the staff college and
done we'll on active service in addition
they may still. if they have not the for
tune to be 'fn' with the powers that
be, be left in the lurch. All this is very
other causes, nobody anticipates that
the supply Of candidates will increase
until the system of promotion on the
higher ranks is conducted with more
fairness than it is at present
