TIE OIL TROST SUIT, ROCK EE IX LEI I AND ARCHBOLD ON UTAND IN STANDARD HEARING. Vkv Pmtdrnt Tells of Beating Com petisase ItnchcfeiW a Holder of flaJrwa? Securities, New York, Nor. 14.?Closing his testimony today la ths Federal suit >f fllsidv* ths Standard OH company, John D. Rocksfsllsr threw some un? expected light oa the popular ques? tion of Into what channels of Invest? ment he turns his tremendous earn* lade from the oil combination. Mr. Rockefeller was loath to state the names of the railroads In which his In? vestments were mads, but did so after entering his objection, declaring that his ho Id'ige in railroads consisted chiefly In bonds and that, with ths esceptlon of a few roads In which hs held only small amounts of stocks, hs preferred the bonds as a form of In? vestment. Mr. Rocksfsllsr appeared greatly delighted (hat his long ordeal was over and hurriedly left ths room. Mr. Rockefeller said he hsld stock In the Delaware. Lackawanha dt West? ern, the New Tork Central, the Penn? sylvania, the Western Maryland, the Missouri Pacific, ths Texas Pacific and the Colorado Southern. Mr. Rockefeller said he opopsed the keeping of millions of dollars of sur? plus by the Standard. John D. Archlbold. vice president >f the standard, proved a mine of dstllsd Information under the direction of the company's counsel regarding the early production of crude oil and the de? velopment of the pipe line system. Mr. Archbold probably will be on the stand for several days. Mr. Archbold beamed with satisfac? tion In tailing of the Standard's earl) history. He said that he kept careful watch on his competitors and then "tried to beat him." There's a Good Time Coming.

G HU OVER NAVY YARD DISMIS? SAL. aying Off of Men at Washington to Re Investigated. Washington, Nov. 26.?The dismb: il of 1,000 employees of the Wash tgton navy yard a day or two ago be tuse there was no work for them to o and because contracts for gun* and ther ordnance had been let to private takers, has brought the matter hi a olnt where there is no longer a doubt uat when congress meets the repre entatlves of all the navy yards in the nited States will join forces arU ask | o Mf a thorough investigation of the tatter. It is claimed that what has appened at the Washington yard light happen at any of the other ards with no previous notice whao ver, that the summary laying off of ,000 men means loss and hardship to hemselves and their families and a onsiderable curtailment of business o merchants and other trades people loing business around the naval sta lons In the present case it appears to be he plan of the navy department to avor private contractors for the | j 'policy" Involved, and just on this )olnt It Is expected that the various epresentatives in congress from the iavy yard districts will make their lght. They will claim, it is said, that >efore such a large number of men should be thrown out of work, just as :he hardest season of the year is com ng on, the matter should have been more carefully considered and that the men should have been notified weeks ago. To throw them out of work now, it is maintained, works severe hardship on them and one that they should not be made to suffer. Some idea of what the loss would be to other yards, should the same thing happen, may be had when It Is considered that the total force now employed at the Washington yard is 3,100 men and boys. Therefore, a re ductlon to between 2,000 and 2,400 which will be the result, means to those interested the discharge of from 700 to 1,000 employees. Averaging the married and the unmarried, those with families dependent upon them and those free, it is estimated that the city of Washington will lose between 2,000 and 6,000 persons, by the en forcing of the orders. This will mean perhaps a loss of $1,000 a day In trade. It Is not contemplated that these orders will affect any of the other yards, that is, no men will be laid off for the same reasons if appropriation hold out. The principle that will be fought for this winter will be whether it is better for the government to award contracts o private builders, even for "policy" and let 1,000 or more men go without work, or whether a precedent shall be established for all time that will re? quire this work to be done at the navy yards by the navy workrrfen. CARMACK'S MURDERERS AR? RAIGNED. All Pleaded Not Guilty?Presiding Judge Denies Bail to the Coopers And John D. Sliarpe. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 25.?The criminal court today fixed the trial of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, his son, Rob? in J. Cooper, and John D. Sharpe, on the charge of the murder of Former United States Senator Carmack, for December 8. All pleaded not guilty when arraigned separately. They were refused ball. Counsel for defense objected to their clients being brought in person intc court and asked to be allowed to waive formal arraignment, urging tlu custom -which has prevailed in thh court. The attorney general insisted on following the law to the letter however, and the court sustained him Col. Cooper listened closely to th< reading of the Indictment and at it.? close Judge Hart asked: "Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty," was the reply in ? clear voice. Robin Cooper was next called ant the Indictment against him read In th< manner of the preceding one. His an swer to the usual question was In i low voice, "Not guilty."

When illu slons, auto-suggestions, hallucinations are illuminated, what remains? Scare ly anything. Such an exceptional rarity as this pleads against the reality of apparitions. We may suppose, it is true, that all human beings do not survive their death, and that, in general, their phy slcal entity is so Insignificant, so wa vering, so ineffectual, that it almost disappears In the ether, In the com mon reservoir, in the environment, like the souls of animals. But think? ing beings who have the consciousness of their physical existence do not close their personality, but continue the cycle of their evolution. It would seem natural, therefore, to see them manifest themselves under certain circumstances. Persons condemned to death In con? sequence of judicial errors, and exe? cuted, should they not return to pro? test their Innocence? Would it not be reasonable to sup? pose that persons put to death in such a way that violence was not sus? pected would return to accuse the as? sassins? Knowing the characters of Robes? pierre, of Saint-Just, of Fouguier Tur vllle, I should like to have seen them revenge themselves a little on those who triumphed over them. The vic? tims of '93, should they not have re? turned to disturb the sleep of the conquerors? Out of the 20,000 citizens shot by fusillades during the time of the Commune of Paris I should like to have seen a dozen unceasingly har? rassing M. Thiers, who was really too puffed up and vainglorious over his having first permitted the organiza? tion and then punished it. Why do not children, whose death Is lamented by their parents, ever come to console them? W?y do our dearest attachments seem to disap? pear forever? And how about last wills and testaments stolen away, and the last will of the dead ignored and their intentions purposely misin? terpreted ? "It is only the dead that do not re? turn,1' says an old proverb. This aperism is not of absolute applica? tion, perhaps, but apparitions are rare, very rare, and we do not understand their exact nature. Are they actual ap? paritions of the dead? It is not yet demonstrated. Up to this day I have sought in vain for certain proof of personal iden? tity through mediumlstlc communica? tions. And then, one does not see why spirits, if they exist around us, should have need of mediums at all In order to manifest themselves. They surely must form a part of nature, of the universal nature which includes all thing?. It may be, it is true, that spirits exist around us and it is normally im? possible for them to make themselves visible, audible or tangible, not be? ing able to reflect rays of light ac? cessible to our retinas or to produce sonorous waves or to effect touches.

They n dn't take it seriously at all, putting 0 )wn the considerable agitation over to an American habit of exaggera- u on. But now that Britain has a race I tl roblem of her own, she talks about | e all day and dreams of it at night. D The most pessimistic American nev-1 D r predicted that* the race problem J ^ ould wreck the American Republic, j ^ he prediction is heard every day over i, ere that the future of the empire is j e ndangerd by the British race prob-1 p im; or, rather, race problems, for If hers Is not one but several. There Is I T ne race problem in India, another in J q duth Africa and still a third In Aus- I c ralla and New Zealand. The Indian v ?roblem is the worst, because It Is I a ust now most acute. Its ramlflca- f Ions extend to the most exclusive! ^ondon drawing rooms. East Indian 1 tudents of rank who have come to I j Sngland to complete their education! j lomplain that they are not shown so-1 \ dal consideration, are not treated asL equals by persons in England whose j j ?ank is no higher than their own. The I ( rovernment recognizes that this is I, :rue, but realizes its helplessness. Sev-I, jral of the "high brow" newspapers! nave taken the matter up and are I jrging British gentle-folks to avoid! social discrimination. There U no rea-J son to regard a man as a social In-1 ferior, they declare, merely because I his skin is several degrees darker than I yours. But fret as the government may and I preach as may the editors, the age-old] fact of racial antagonism Is there and! It Is not going to be effaced by any J such thing as political considerations, j And the Indian student In England I Is setting about to force social equality in very much the same way the Am- j erlcan negro who demands social J equality has done?by showing his! unworthiness of it. At a recent meet-1 Ing at which Indian students were! specially invited guests they booed and I hissed the King's name, and instances I have not been lacking of late In which J they have made themselves offensive j to English ladles. Australia has been lectured and South Africa scolded because they are not willing to admit Eeast Indians and other Orientals on terms of equality with the white man. And the very' great folks who have been doing the lecturing and the scolding have been arousing undying hatred in the breasts! of Indian students by treating them as social inferiors. It Is the Ignorant coolie Australia and South Africa In? sists upon barring, it is the best cul? ture and refinement of India that the London smart set has offended, many of them capable of tracing their an? cestry back to the days when England was a vassal of Rome. The govern ing class of England Is amazed that the colonists should insist on keeping out the riff-raff of India, but hold back their skirts for fear of contami? nating contact with the best India has to offer in the way of culture and re? finement. They are very willing to send the "thin red line" to the out? posts of the empire to bear the white man's burden, but they don't want the burden packed home to their London drawing-rooms. see The British press showed a great deal of interest in the recent presiden? tial election In the United States and gave almost as much space to It as they did to the woman's suffrage movement, though, of course the American campaign could not be al? lowed to crowd out the essay or "let? ters to the editor." After the cable told that Mr. Taft had been electee the subject was allowed to drop whlb the editors mulled the matter ovei In their minds. Just lately they hav< been coming forth with their serious editorial comment. On the whole there Is evident ap? preciation of the result, but though the "leaders" run a minor note of sur prise that the Americans showec themselves capable of selecting so ex cellent a man as their chief magls tr?te. Try as they may, British edt tors are not quite equal to conceallnj their amazement that each preslden tlal election doesn't smash the Ameri can Republic to smithereens. Thej see revolutions following presidentia elections in the little Latin AmsHcai republics, and they are unable to Ml how the United States escapes them. They have just discovered ? 1*?'?'s1 peril In the fact that Prestdsnt Roost velt took a very active Interest In th< election of his successor. It Is nl right thl> time, they agree. DSCAttM Mr. Taft is such an excellent man bu they hope, for the sake of the Uiitec States about whose capacity for self goveri ment tin ? are so sottcUloui .that the prcadatil ?rill not " Kollow* r future executives; and on this fud ct quite a number of preachments ive been uttered in that patronising, Ltherly tone the British press habit ally assumes when discussing Amer an domestic affairs. Had the "rough house" method! hlch English women adopted in their impaign for the elective franchise, een resorted to by American women lgeged in any like crusade. British orror would have been boundless and limltable. And, it must be confesa 3, Englishmen were shocked at the Dnduct of their own women folk. So rieved, in fact, that they deemed It ecessary to send several of the worst ffendlng suffragettes to jail. No English editor has dared make nfavorable comparison with the gen er methods persued by women seek rs of the ballot In the United States, ut it must be confessed there has een generous praise of the firm stand .merican statesmen have taken on he subject, as compared to the vacll .ting, week-kneed policy of the pres nt British ministry. In fact, the op? position press lays the whole blame or what It terms a blemish on English romanhood at the door of Mr. As luith and his advisers, who, Instead ?f coming out boldly and telling the romen no avoided, them and the la? ue by using the back door for their goings and their comings. ill Capt. E. C. T. Troubrldge, the new lunlor lord of the admiralty, Is the possessor of a silver hero medal* though the extreme modesty of the gentleman does not admit of his wear? ing It among his other decorations on Dccasions of ceremony. Some years ago, when CapL Troubrldge was still a lieutenant, a signalman fell over? board from a torpedo boat going at full speed in Suda Bay. Lieut. Trou? brldge went overboard after him anl saved the man's life, though both were nearly drowned before the vessel could be stopped and a boat lowered. Among his other honors Capt. Troubrldge Is a grand officer of the Imperial Jap? anese Order of the Rising Sun, the dec? oration being conferred upon him be? cause he was with the Japanese fleet during the operations off Port Arthur during the war with Russia, see Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, whose will has recently been probated though the late prime minister died In April, left an estate valued at something Over a quarter of a million dollars. The figures proved some? thing of a surprise to those who knew something of the late statesman's af ( fairs, as It was believed his wealth was sevral times the amount dis? closed. This estimate of his wealth undoubtedly was based on the scale of his expenditures, and the explana? tion Is that after attaining political leadership he not only lived up his Income but made serious Inroads on the principal of his fortune In order to meet his social and political obli? gations. Although Sir Henry could not be said to have been Impoverish? ed, It must be remembered that the period of his political leadership was comparatively brief. The instance furnished another proof, however, that it is much more Impossible for a poor man to attain political eminence In Great Britain than in the * United States. Until Sir Henry came into of? fice with the Liberal victory of three years ago his public services had been mainly rendered without compensa? tion, and hlg expenses were enormous. In all probability before the present session of Parliament ends capital punishment of women in cases of child murder will have been abolished. It Is proposed to amend the law so that In cases where mothers murder chil? dren under one year old Imprisonment for life may be imposed Instead of the death penalty. This proposed change Is not because of any lessened objec? tion to child-murder, but because the death penalty clause of the present law has long been a dead letter. Wo? men child murderers are sentenced t3 death, but public sentiment forbids their execution. Tour Englishman Is a great stickler for the letter of the law. If women are not to be hanged for cild-murder, he argues, the law should not provide that as the only penalty the trial Judge may pro? nounce. Ham R.
