-ALL GERMANY AMAZED At Autccratic Manner in Which i the Kaizer Acts QUL PIQINYATIAN VON BUELDY’S Kol GVATION Refused---Chancsilo- Rasponsible for Al lowing an Intarview Which In- | furiated Five Natiors. | _Berlin, Germany.—Chancellor ven Buelow’s position appears to be al most untenable, Far and wide through out the empire the newspapers of all parties discuss with varying degrees of mockery, amazement and regret the government’s explanation of how what purported to be enormously importait utterances of the emperor, aifecting three great powers, passed through the hands of the chancellor and a long line of foreign officers without seemingly having been considered by any of them or read by most of those responsible for the delicate foreign relations. : In addition to the semi-official ac counts already published, it is learn ed that the emperor handed the manu script of the interview, which appear ed in the London Daily Telegraph, and the authorship of which is still undis closed, to Barcn von Jeuisch, The chancellor described the note from von Jenisch, which accompanied the manuscript, as referring to the cnclosure as an article, not as an in terview, so that the chancellor did not consider it necessary to give it his personal attention, The manusecript consisted of a number of small, flimsy like sheets, the handwriting being dif ficult to decipher, and the chancellor referred it to Herr von Mueller, the minister at The Hague, who was act ing as the chancellor’s private secre tary. g The latter, in his turn, and without examining the document, sent it to the foreign offices, where, in the ab sence of Herr von Schoen, the escre tary for foreign affairs, it was read by subordinate officials who did not attach importance to its contents, and returned through the proper channels without further examination until transmitted by one of the imperial secretaries of England, where, as the Tagliche Rundschau, one of the news papers that is read in court, aristocrat ic and military circles, desecribes il “emerged gaily into the world, infu riating the French, Russians, Dutch and Japanese, chilling the British, ex citing bitterness and nervous irrita tion on the part of our own people and undermining our neighbors’ be lief in our reliability. London.—The expiring flame of sen sation started by the Daily Tele grazh’s published interview with Em peror William has been fanned to fiercer heat than ever by the an ncuncement cf Chancellor von Bue low’s resignation and the emperor’s refusal to accept it. With even the pro-German radical papers emphasiing the impossibility of a Dritish entente with a “personal au tocracy” imbued with ‘“Bismarckian tradition,” it is plain that Anglo-Ger man friction will be renewed more fiercely than ever in comnsequence of the latest developments in Berlin. LITTLE COTTON N FIELDS. Picayune Report Says All Will Be Ginned by November 15. New Orleans, La.—The Picayune says: Very little cotton remains in the field, and it is said that all will have, been picked and ginned by No vsmber 15. The damage from the bOil weevil in some sections is reflect ed in the short yield, many of the Red river lands producing only a bale to six acres. Those planters who have decided to cultivate cotton anonther years are adopting heroic measures in an effort to allay the ravages of the pest. These precautions include the early burning of all stalks in the field in order to destroy places for hi bhernation, as well as a thorough tura ing over of the soil and preparations to plant an early maturing variety of the staple.

President Roosevelt celebrited his fittieth birthday on October 27, in the lmidst of a political campaign which he is directing with all the force of Lis strenuous nature, He was born at 28 East Twentieth street, New York City, on October -27, 1858. The old house still stands, and is usually the scene of some kind of celebration on his anniversary. The president crosses the half century mark as vigorously as a man of thirty, In an endeavor to establish his con tention that all persons connected with the night riders’ association are responsible tor ravages made by any member of the organization, Henry ‘Bennett of Louisville, Ky., has filed a suit for §sloo,ooo damages in the Unit ed States circuit court.

The resuit of the recent election in Canada shows that the Lauriier (Lib eral) government has been sustained with a:majorily of fifty, with seven elections yet to be held.

The principal has been paid over three times in interest, The civil service commission has decided that there was no foundation for the charges that custom inspec tors of New Yerk are compelled to gee a Mr, Plummer in the office of Treasurer Sheldon, of the republican pnational committee, at No. 2 Wall street and there contribute $25 each. It was charged that the four hundred and fifty inspectors were assessed that amount to help the republican campaign, that many had already con tributed. Commissioner Greene went to New York to invesiigaie, examined forty or fifty employes and reported that he had no traces of coercion or assessment, or even of a very general gystematic voluntary payment of con tributions to the campaign fund, A total of $1,297,263,420 in new mon ey was printed and circulated by the bureau of engraving and printing dur ing the fiscal year, according to the annual report of Director Ralph, Inspector General Garlington of the army in a report exoneraled Chalr \man Goethals of the isthmian canal commission of the charges made by iP‘re'sident Brothers of the DBalanced Crane Cable company of New York, who claimed that unfair treatment was accorded him in the award for furnishing and erecting cable ways at 'Gatum, on the isthmus, USINESS INTHE SOUTH ' ——— sy ‘ . gk bRt yfi“’PtOExgz--Pmpl&lm Hog . ful View &f Future. 0, JOBBING TRADE RESTRIGEE SOBRING TRADE RESTRIGEER . = G e Says President of the Southern | mr | After Inspection Trip Th " ”fi'- the South. ' Me ™ Washington, D, C.—President lin. ley, of the Southern Railway company, who has just returned to Washingion from an inspection trip of two weeks over the lines of the system, found evidences of improvement in business conditions and of a general Aisposi tion on the part of business" men ‘throughout the south to take a!hope ful view of the future. Speaking .of the information he had gatheréd o 1 his trip, Mr. Finley said; 34 “Prices for pig iron are firmer, southern furnaces, as a rule, have sold their product up to the end cf the year, and the increasing number of inquiries for iron warrant the ex pectation that orders will soon be placed for business during the coming year. Lumber is more active than for some months past. Especially is this | true of the grades shipped in box ears, EThO present demand will be augment ed by increased requirements from | railways, principally for car repairs, 'as some of the railways are contr:ict 'ing with "car companies for some’ of (their heavier repair work, I “One of the most encouraging signg |of reviving industrial activity is the increasing movement of steam coal to industrial centers. The unusually warm weather of the present fall is retarding the movement of domestic coal, ; ’ “The cotton crop is early, and the fibre is moving to market in larger volume than at this time last year, al though, as a result of the stagnation ‘\\'hi(-h has prevailed in the cotton ‘gocds market, prices are lower than ]a year ago, The demand for cotton 1909(! products, is good and they are Inm'.'in;.;' freely, | “The domestic market for cotton 'gocds shows indications of gradual /improvement, Owing to the accumu 'lations of large stocks and to other causes affecting that market, there is 'at present little demand for cotton goods in northern China. Aside from this, the export demand is fairly goed, ‘and those mills interested in the Inorth of China trade are looking fer ward hopefully to a renewal of sales for that market. % “Grain trafic into the south—egs - pecially corn—is light. This is due, in part, to the relatively high price of |com and the low price of cotton, and in part to the fact that at this season of the year the south is consuming its own grain. k § “Metchandize stocks, which had been permitted to run low during the business depression, are being mg}ga ished censervatively, Retail tr:fi;%m the cities is good, but as a T “of the low price of cotton and of a dis position on the part of retailers to'ouy cautiously for the present, jt D trade is still somewhat restricted,., “While some lines of business haye not yet shown as much improvement ;as might be wished, I believe that conditions generally are decidedly bet {ter than at any time since the begins ‘ning of the husiness depression a year lago. and that we have reason to look ‘forwmq to a gradual return to a high er level of prosperity.” BY-LAWS OF NIGHT ‘RIDERS. Have Been Placed in Hands of Special Grand Jury. ; Union City, Tenn.—The censtitution and by-laws of the night riders have been placed in the hands of the grand Jury. This constitution amxl by-laws, among many other things, provides that no bank or trust company will be permitted to make any loans, large or small, for a greater rate of interest than 6 per cent, and further that after che first day of July, 1909, no farmer will Is»= allowed to employ any colored help on his farm, and that all ne groes will be notified to leave the country under penalty of death; that all merchants shall sell their goods and merchardise at not to exceed 10 per cent profit, and otherwise regulat ing all wages to be paid by the farm er for help and regulating the price of all farm preducts to be sold, cottom, corn, ete, : These by-laws show that the organ ization does not only comprise the night riders of Obion county, but in cludes ali night rider organizations all over the country, This document is of such importance that a verbatim copy cannot he had, as it is said that it is very valuable as evidence.

CHINAMAN HAD TWO WIVES, Was Forced to Send One Wife Back to China, San Francisco, Cal..—When Robert Hutong Bosman, the Hong Kong mil lionaire, arrived from China on the steamship Korea he defied the laws of the United States which distinctly provide that this country is no place for any person who believes in poly gamy. Bosman not only publicly proclaim ed himself to be a polygamist, but emphasized the fact by bringing two wives with him. The local board de nied him a landing and he threatened to appeal to Secretary Taft, whom he claimed as a personal friend and who had partaken of Bosman's hospitality in Houg Kong, Wires were pulled and Commissioner Ncrth allowed him to land, accompanied by his two wives, Margaret and Clare, and their two children, Later word came to Commissioner North to allow Bosman and a portion of his family to remain for six months longer, He was to give a bond of SSOO that they would return at that time, The dispatch also instructed that one of the wives must return to the Ori ent immeatately.

It 1s true that she, according to the laws of the United States, is not a wife, but she is permitted to remain and pose as sucn, Under the laws of California she is liable to arrest, GORSETS COMMENGED BY BOCTOR. Women Are Told That Their Torso Muscles Need Support. Los Angeles, Cal—Dr, L. E. Land one, whose plan to improve the hu man race by applying Luther Bur ‘bank’s theories in the training of chil dren by. selection, has brought consid erable attention from the scientific ‘world, commends the modern corset. A¥dressing the members of the Hun dred Year Club, the leading woman’s lorganization of Los Angeles, he said: ~ “Corsets, the sort worn today, are good for the reason that the torso ‘muscles have been weakened for gen erations until now the ave-age . fe male form will not stand without them, “In the time of Queen Elizabeth,” continued Landone, “they wore steel corsets tightly buckled in back and front, They were instruments of tor ture. From them are evolved the comfortable corsets of today. I doubt if the torso muscles of women could be supported in their weakened condi tion after a generation of corset-wear ing except for some artificial prop.” ~ SOCIETY UF LQUITY FORMED.
