RESULT OF AN UPROAR.
Four Cabinet Meetings Held in as
Many Days to Consider Present Sc
rious Conditions.

London, Nov. 14.-Lord of the Ad-
mirality Winston Churchill's cheek
was badly swollen and one eye was
discolored today from the effect of
the blow he received when someone
threw a book at him during yester-
days uproad in the House Of Com
mons over the Home Rule Bill.
The fourth cabinet meeting in as
many days was held during the fore
noon to consider the situation. 1t
was admitted that the administration
was at lis wits and concerning the best
course to pursue in view of its oppo-
nents avowed determination to con-
tinue their campaign of violence un-
til the ministry resigns.
The conservatives contention is that
the liberals have no right to continue
in office, having been out-voted on a
clause of the Home Rule bill last
Monday and that any method of COM
pelling them to comply with estab-
lished precedent is justifable.
1t was admitted, that, if they Gre
ate such scenes of disorder indet-
nitely ac characterized in yesterdays s
session of the commons the transac-
ton of legislative business will be I'M
possible. The situation was so tense
today that personal encounters on the
floor of the House were looked for
when the new law makers convene.
Opening the. annual conference OF
the Unienist Association, conserva-
tive organization Sir William }.
Crump denounced what he referred to
as the "so-called government which
was ignoring the precedent of 300
years by refusing to resign in the
face of an adverse vote in the House
of Commons"
The association unanimous and en-
Enthusiastically adopted resolution OIL
fered by Sir Edward Carson condem-
ming the administrations "attempt
TO force the home rule bill through
in defiance OF the constitution"
The conservatives began again to
howl down the Liberals who tried to
speak when the commons met as a
committee of the whole to consider
the trades union bill but the speaker
finally succeeded in restoring orde-
themselves by the violence OF their
own exertions.
A tremendous crowd surrounded
Parliament House and extra police
were on duty in the corridors.
Ronald Mcneil the conservative
who threw a book at Lord of the Ad-
mirality Winston Churchill in the
Commons yesterday, bruising his face
and blackening one eye apolog'zed to
Churchill, today, saying he deeply re-
GREETED his momentary loss OF self
control.
Apparently fearing today's session
would develop into another donnF-
brook. Premier Asquith accepted
speaker Lowther's suggestion OF an
adjournment until Monday.

Paris, Nov. 14-Turkiish Minister
of Posts and Telegraphs Musurus
Bey, reported yesterday on his way
here, is really on his way 10 Sofia, it
was learned today, as the Sultan ;
peace envoy. 1t was said the Turks
were prepared to make almost any
sacrifice to persuade the allies from
entering Constantinople.
Vienna, Nov. 14.-That Turkish
grand vizier Kiamil PaSha has ap-
pealed directly to Gar Ferdinand of
Bulgaria for peace was confirmed hero
today.
Turkeys admission was accepted
here as practically marking the con-
clusion of one of the shortest and al:
the same time ore Of the fercest
wars in history.
Fears concerning the number Of
killed and injured have been very
meagre and the estimates probably
Inaccurate but it was considered here
safe to say that the total is well above
100000
Not only was the outright killing
of the combatants appalling but of
the wounded, owing to the primitive
character of the hospital services an
enormous proportion Of the wounded
died.
The male populations of all five
countries have been in the field almos;
to a man. Industry, for lack of any
one to conduct it, has been prostraten.
Shcrs and factories have ncen closed,
railroad traffic suspended, postal SER
vices put out of commission and prac-
tcalIy every branch of business or
labor tied-up while whole populations
fought.
The devastation of the territory
throughout which the conflict ragged
has been frightfuNy.
London, Nov. 14.--If Gar Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria agrees not to enter
Constantinople the Balkan war may
be considered at an end, it was stated
in messages from the Turkish capital
today.
On just what terms peace will be
made was not known here but official
dom's view was that the allies would
get whatever they pleased so far as
the sultan is concerned, since he is
hopelessly beaten and will have to
give as much as is required from him.
The allies will be forced to limit
their demands, however, to suit the
powers' idea Of what is best from an
international point and it was consid-
cred certain here shat they will re-
ouire the Turks to be driven entirely
out Of Europe.
Fighting had entirely ceased along
the ChataIja lines, so far as could be
learned here today.

that such matters were entirely out

Several classmates of Mr.. Lynch,

Lynch's action, and that the feature
chiefly objected to was not the pres

was the position they were given in

The ambition of colored men to or
ganiZe and conduct corporate enter
prises is a laudable ambition, and
one which seems to be making sub
stantial Roadway, in proof of the col
ored mans capacity for concentrate
ed business effort; but the manner in
which such corporate enterprises
should be conducted is not as clearly
understood by all cOlored men who
make the effort. or by many who aid
them, as it ought to be. The success
of all efforts of this character de-
ponds more upon the general infor
nation and comprehensive ability
of the men who direct them than
upon the favorable nature and prom
Using prospects of object to which
they devote their efforts. The failures
of these corporate undertakings are
just as easy and just as certain as
the failure Of individual effort, if
they are not carefully, legally and
intelligently conducted, and every
scuh failure acts as a public discour-
agement, the effects of which are diff
ficult to overcome
Absolute ignorance of the financial

characterized this conduct No stock
company can legally pay dividends to
its stockholders except out of its
surplus funds, which represent it's
profits held in treasury over and
above its liabilities. There can be
no profits as long as there are unpaid
mortgages or other liabilities out,
standing which overbalance the clear

stock Of new companies is sold mere

and must necessarily bring low
price, the receipts therefrom being
intended as a working capital and
stock does not reach its par value, or
the value upon which dividends are
intended to be declared, until the sue
cesses of the business, its clear hold
ings and future prospects, give it
that value in the open market, with
out any fictitious procedure or other
false manipulation on the part of the
directorate or anybody else. Directors
who declare and pay dividends to
stockholders out of moneys received
from stockholders or from other
sources subject to unpaid liabilities,
are merely plunderers running the
corporation down hill to certain de-
struction. Men who have no capaci-
to FOR the financial affairs and no
conception of the legal details of
business should not undertake to con-
duct corporate enterprises. They run
great enough risk with their own
personal affairs. But men who, in
their own affairs, show keen business
perception with powers to negotiate
and promote profitable business COM
binations and commercial or indus
trial deals, who have regulations for
honesty and sense enough to seek
legal advice upon important and diff
ficult matters concerning proposed
procedure, should be trusted and en-
couraged to lead the larger efforts
which are to be consummated through
