London, Nov. 2T.-Sir Edward Grey to-
day was like an overadvertised prima
donna heralded as a masterful genius
nv a press clacque. Friends and foes
had proclaimed that a momentOus dis
closure Of secret diplomacy was about to
he made and that an historic debate
which would shape the destinies Of the
Continent and the British Empire would
follow.
There was a crowded House with the
diplomatic. the strangers and the peers
galleries without an empty seat. and
there was an air of suppressed excite
rnent and electric suspense. The chlet
actor alone was impassive, prosaic and
husinesslike. He spoke in converse

mr. making a gesture, and with studied
moderation and quiet persuasiveness
sought 20 minimize the importance of re-
cent events.

the most natural and useful policy Of the
Foreign ONCE. and emphasized the fact
that engagements with France did not
involve hostility TO Germany. If he did
not convince pro German Radicals that
an uncompromising attitude toward the
Acadir naval raid was consistent with
uassive acauiescence in the Russian IN
vasion of Persia, in the French march 10
Fez and in the Italian filibustering oper-
ations in Tripol he succeeded in demon
strating that one veXatious complication
had followed another and that the ousl-
ness Of the Foreign Office has been con-
Quoted with firmness and dignity.
Sir Edwards air of complete detach-
nent from party interests was well
suited 10 an occasion on which the mo-
tives OF secret diplomacy were chal-
lcnged and the truth was revealed that
there had not been anything provocative

TEN PER CENT FOR WALTERS
Philadelphia Hotelkeepers Plan to
Fight Tipping Evil.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

Philadelphia. Nov. 27-"Hereafter 10
per cent will be added TO the total of all
restaurant checks. This is in lieu of any
gratuity usually given to your waiter. and
the amount thus received will be divided
among the walters at the end of each
month"
Local hotelkeepers are discussing the
advisability of having this notice printed
on their menu cards In an effort to do
away with excessive tipping The only
reason for suspending judgment in the
matter is to get legal advice to ascertain
if they have a legal right TO collect the
added 10 per cent over and above the
price of foodstunfs as listed on the menu

Washington, Nov. Pin accordance
with an agreement reached among the
representatives Of the powers at Peking'
as confirmed In official advices to the
State Department to-day the foreign
troops now iii Peking and along the rail-
road from the capital to Tien-Tsin will
be augmented by reinforcements from
the various nationalities. The repre-
sentatives at Peking agreed that the
forces at Peking and along the railroad
should be increased to about the full
quota provided for by the Boxer proto-
col.
1t is assumed that the reported dis
patch of troops from Japan is in accord
ance with this agreement Although the
way has been cleared for sending troops
from the Philippines, it was announced
tonight that no orders had been issued
by the State Department.
Under the arrangement arrived at by
China and the powers subsequent TO the
Boxer uprising, the understanding was
reached that the legation guard at
Peking should consist of 1000 men fur
nished by the United States, Germany,
France, Russia, Great Britain, Japan
and Austria Hungary in about equal
numbers. The force now at Peking is
only loo. 1t was agreed at the same
time that the foreign force at Tien-
Tsin and Chin Wang-tao and along the
line of the railway should be $500 This
is now only 300 The United States
has it's full quota. go men, at Peking.
The movement of troops therefore, IS
not regarded as a step IN the way of
foreign intervention, but merely a pre-
cautionary measure 10 keep open the
way from Peking.

Deficit Of S1,602,983 for
Boston & Maine.

9S9 for the year ended June 80 last,
as compared with surplus Of $7S3260
for the fiscal year OF 1910 Is shown in
the annual report of the Boston x
Maine Railroad Co, made public today.
There was an increase of $1.457, a09 in
gross earnings and of S140,72S in other
income, but the operating expenses in
creased 1882, 379, and the charges So
$50, leaving a surplus after charges OF
only $3.50 .9SS, while the dividends
amounted to $1.95S.91 and had to be
paid chiefly out Of the surplus net
earnings OF previous years.
President Charles S. Mellen saws in
his annual report that the deficit and
the consequent reduction of the divi-
dend on the common stock to Il per
cent. basis were caused by "conces-
sions in wages made to la Dor employ
ed by the road, and by the further
fact that the road has been operated
for several years with such strict ecoH-
omy that there remained bot little II
any margin for further savings unless
by such serious ecurtailnent OF service
as would have brought upon the man
agement severe public criticism"

Hartford. Ct, Sept 12.-Gov. Bald
win today made public correspondence
between Mayor William j. Gaynor OF
New York city and himself relative
to the proposed taking Of water from
Ten Mile river for the use OF New
York City during the recent shortage
of water.
The governor wrote Mayor Gaynor
under date of Sept that he had peeh
Informed that New York contemplated
a. diversion of the waters of that river
and that such diversion OF water
which naturally flows into the state
would he detrimental to the interests
of Connecticut, and "as at present ad-
vlsea this state could not view with
indifference any act of New York city
or It's authorities by which even tenn
porafily such diversion could be mace
without first securing the consent not
only of the Connecticut riparian pro-
rrietors, but of the state itself.
Mayor Gaynor replied that the CITY
OF New York had no intention OF US
ing the waters TO the detriment CT the
state of Connecticut or anyone else.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All

New York. Sept. 12.--Movements Of

vious close. At the end OF the day frae-
tfGuaI gains were general.
The heaviest selling occurred during
the fore part of the session, when for
short period there seems to be a recur-
renee fsthe enforced liquidation so often
observed in the markets of the past few
weeks. For a time the market depressed
sharply, although the only result was TO
cancel the earlier gains. Only two of the
active stocks were forced 10 new low lev
lis of the year. Pennsylvania receded to
l9 l-s and Missouri Pacific TO So is.
The market soon reversed its position
and mounted to well above the final
range of Yesterday. The advance result
ed largely from the covering of short
contracts on the part of operators who
believed that the market had been over
sold The market became dun on the
advance, the demand being limited large
ly to the trading element. In spite of the
long extended downward movement there
has been no apparent increase in the
amount of public participation IN the mar
ket
one of tie most important factors in
determining the markets tone was the
demand from abroad. Europe was
source of strength, the foreign liquidation
of recent days being replaced by .pur-
chases of about $3.50 shares. Only
small part of this amount was for Lon
don account Paris and Berlin taking the
larger portion. Foreign adviees failed to
