American seriousness. which always

pure amusement was lightly rebuked by
Mrs. T. P. O'Connor, authoress and wife
OF the leading Irish member of Parlia-
ment, who last night assigned that char
acteristic as the possible cause of the
protest against the Irish Players. She
explained that she had not seen the
players, and offered her suggestion only
as a guess.
NO woman is moro patriotic than l, 4"
said Mrs. O'Connor, land no woman
would sooner protest against an injustice
to this country. But it seems to me that
we Americans are strangely serious on
all things. Though we pride ourselves
on our sense of humor, We always seek
to find a meaning in things. We cannot
accep- anything as purely amusing.
Women will come to me and say OF
Shaw, the satirist, What does he mean?
Why. he means to be funny, of course.
He means to amuse. Yet we study his
lines, trying to find a deep meaning

for the long haul than for the short
haul neither tends to produce an I'M
reasonable rate for the short haul, nor
operate unduly to prejudice the short
haul point, and unduly to prefer the
long-haul point ID is the duty of the
commission to grant exemption from the
hard-and-fast rule" That a higher
charge shall not be made for short
haul than for a long one. Should this
opinion be sustained by the Supreme
Court it will save millions for the rail-
roads.
There is an element of justice in this
in view of the sharp competition that
the Panama Canal will create on the
Pacific Coast against the railroads. The
long and short haul is justified by rail-
road men on the theory that the short
haul charge is what 1t ought to be,
whereas the long-haul charge is lower
than it ought to be, but is necessarily
lower, because the business 4 must be
done at a low rate to get any business
at all.
The Court of Commerce does not say
that the railroads are justified in maxi
ing the rate to Spokane equal to the
| through rate to Seattle plus the local
| rate, back to Spokane, as is now done.
but it does say that the railroads will
be justified in making some discrimina-
ton in favor of Seattle in order to meet
water competition. 1t looks like another
place for application Of the rule Of rea-

By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Nov. 14-After early heavt-
ness, in which stocks went lower than
the close Of the previous day, the mar
ket rallied sharply to-day on a rumor
that Attorney General Wickersham had
decided not TO appeal in the American
Tobacco case, but to accept the settle
ment made by the Circuit Court Of APP
peals
Part Of the heaviness early in the day
was due to decision Of the Supreme
Court of the State Of Missouri debarring
the international Harvester Company
from doing business in that State and
filming it $4,000. That decision caused
considerable short selling, and when the
Wickersham rumor made its appearance
these shorts covered precipitately. The
covering movement, however, wore itself
out before the market closed, and at
the end of the session prices were sag
sing again.
Publication by the new. Court of Com
merce of its opinion in connection with
the temporary injunction allowed last
week restraining the Interstate Com
merce Commission from lowering rail-
road rates in the Intermountain territory
OF the Northwest had n favorable effect
on prices This opinion leads the street
to believe that the injunction will be
made permanent. The court is of opin-
ion that ''if the granting of lower rate

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished BY W. B. Hibbs & Co, mem
bers Of the New York Stock Exchange Hibbs
Building
New York, Nov. 1.-THE cotton market was de-
cidedIy strong to-day. Fear that the revision com
mittee report, which will be read tomorrow night
after the close, might widen the difference between
middlinE and other grades sufficiently to drive the
shorts to gave the market its strength Other
coming ginners' report was Of some interest, as
likely to show lessenng amount Of cotton passing
through the ginning houses recently, and today
weather reports were not considered as having i'm
portant bearing on the market, and Southern spot
markets practically unchanged.
The revision committee Of the New York Cotton
Exchange is confronted with an important problem.
There appears 10 be rather more than the ordinary
percentage Of low-grade cotton in the crop being
marketed. The difference between the low-grade
and middling cotton in the South varies in the
various markets. but it is Claimed that the low
grades being pressed for sale by Southern plant
ers, with the effect Of causing much lower prices
than prevail in the differences allowed by the New
York Cotton Exchange for contract deliveries
This condition may make necessary change in the
existing allowances made from the middling basis
on grades lower than middling and perhaps q
higher basis for grades better than middlng. The
committee Is between several fires. Southern plant
ers Of course want the highest basis possible for
all Of their product. but Southern and Northern
spinners also demand recognition in the markets
In the South in the contract basis Of the contract
markets. It is perhaps also true that the action

MATCH TRUST ALARMED.
Seeks to Modify Trade Methods to
Escape Prosecution.

New York, Nov. H-Taking alarm at
the governments aggressive attitude
toward trusts, the. Diamond Match Com
pany, otherwise known as the match
trust, is among the latest OF the big in
dustrial combinations to so modify its
trade methods as to give hope to its
managers that 1t will not be overlooked
by the Department of Justice.
Within the last two weeks the big
match combine has given formal notice
Of its desire and purpose to come into
the reservation OF the Sherman law. 1t
has flooded the country with explanatory
letters from its headquarters at Ill
Broadway. New York, setting forth a
radical change In its commercial policy.
From these letters II would appear that
the trust has Communicated the match
trade heretofore through its refusal to
sell its products outright to wholesalers
and distributors. Instead OF doing this,
1t has consigned its wares to them on
commission. By this means the trust
has been enabled arbitrarily to TX the
retail as wen as the whole prices Of
matches throughout the country. BY the
same token It has been empowered to
control the output and stihe competition.

Federation of Labor Heads Opposed to
Efficiency Plan of United States.

Atlanta Nov. 12.-New life was put mo
the preliminary preparations for the con-
vention of the American Federationgof
Labor. which meets here tomorrow by
the arrival tonight OF the president sam
uel Gompers, and the other members OF
the National Council. This years con-
vention will be no pink tea party Mr..
Gompers said. Several questions OF ma
tional importance are scheduled 70 come
before the organization.
One of the first things the national OF
ncers did on reaching the city was 10 sp-
prove the action of the metal trades de-
partment in taking up the fight on the
Taylor efficiency system. which Is being
experimental with by the federal govern
ment In some Of it's departments.
The Taylor system only tends TO make
the workman 4 mere machine said Mr.
Gompers, and the fight against IL will
be taken up on the floor of the convention
next week
Mr. Gompers was asked about the pro-
posed antagonism 70 himself as head OF
tine federation by the Socialist members
of the federation He smiled as nc re-
piled that he always was ready to dis
cuss tho American Federation but that
he had nothing TO say about socialism or
it's followers.
