New Securities Not Moving
Well in the Open
Market.
CROP REPORTS ARE GOOD
Wheat and Corn Strong, but Short

tion Talk of War With Japan
Affected the Markets.
NEW YORK. July T.Flnanc!al re
view: The action of the stock market during
the part week has reflected some con
flict of sentiment over the future course
of values or some mixture of doubt
amongst those who have operated for
higher prices. The hull party, on the
whole, has held the ascendant and has
been able to maintain prices and make
some show of strength In the market.
Kales to realise profits by those who
had bought stocks last week caused
an early reaction, but after these bad
been absorbed, prices again showed a
hardening tendency.
In the bank reports of this week are
evidences of the enormous transactions
which are put through, not only in New
York, but in London and Paris, and es
pecially in Berlin, where the changes
In the different items of the report of
the Imperial Bank of Germany exceed
ed any previous records. Foreign money
markets were quick to recover from the
strain of settlements. In New York the
money market was slower to relax, rates
on call ruling higher earlier In the week'
than last week. The course of the for
eign exchanges also Indicated a waiting
demand for our gold as soon as any re
laxation should occur In the local money
farket. The belief became general that
a resumption of gold exports to Prance
was imminent. Instead of that there was
a shipment of tl.000,000 to Holland, after
which foreign exchange rates declined
and the movement to Paris was averted.
It had no apparent effect in reviving
the investment demand for securities,
the bond market remaining neglected and
sluggish.
The sluggishness of the Investment de
mand for securities undoubtedly finds
large explanation for the large amounts
which have already been spoken for
new security of railroad companies. In
stallments of subscriptions falling due
from time to time. Thus there have al
ready fallen due during the present
month subscriptions to Northern Paclflo
stock which called for nearly J12.000.000,
and for Atchison convertible bonds
which called for 17.800,000, and there Is
yet to be paid in July $3,000,000 for the
Great Northern preferred stock, J15.000,
000 for Union Pacific convertible bonds
and 7,6OO,O0O for Southern Paclflo pre
ferred stock. These new securities are
offered to stockholders on such terms as
to prove more attractive than securities
In the open market;' even at the lowest
prices, which have recently prevailed.
The supply of available capital, as tt
may accumulate, is thus diverted from
the usual Investment channels and the
revival of investment In the open market
thus deferred.
The operation of the redemption of
the Government 4 per cent bonds whloh
matured on July 1, Is proving slow and
cumbersome, the prompt offer of the
bonds being confined practically to the
holding National banks and other insti
tutions which own large blocks. It Is
now evident that only a small portion
of the $28,000,000 of the bonds' still
outstanding at the time of maturity will
have been presented by July 10, which
is the date set for the return of $80.
000,000 of Government deposits held by
the National banks. The effect on the
money market of this unevenly bal
anced transaction is a matter for con
sideration, in view of the slender sur
plus of the New York banks.
Crop news has been favorable during
the week, especially that of Winter
wheat and also of corn, but the pub
lishing of the Government report on the
condition of cotton as on June 26 threw
into the speculative situation the pros
pect of an unexpected shortage in the
cotton crop and incidentally diverted a
furious speculation to the market for
that commodity. Copper seourltles have
moved upwards with the intimation
that negotiations were pending for the
settlement of differences between pro
ducers and Boilers which might be ex
pected to break the deadlock existing.
"Sentimental influences which have been
felt in the market were the revival" of
the discussion of possible war between
the United States and Japan, which has
been a material Influence in foreign
markets, and the belief that, the report
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the Harrlman investigation would
be presented at an early date.

TALK WAR AT PEACE MEETING
American-Japanese Problem Topic
of Frequent Discussion.
THE HAGUE, July 7. The sentiment
of the delegates to the peace conference
regarding the question that has arisen
between the United States and Japan
is that the situation is unfortunate for
both countries, as the original incident
' causing the tension between the two
countries is disproportionate to the grave
results which may follow. The question,
the delegates think. Is likely to create a
hostile atmosphere, endangering their re
ciprocal commerce, to which the former
friendly relations has opened a vast field.
Although the sending of a fleet by the
United States to the Pacific Coast cannot
be Interpreted a, a threat. It Is generally
admitted here that such action may give
rise to dangerous popular excitement,
which the men at Washington might not
be able to control. The Spanish repre
sentatives say that the United States has
r
now found a hard nut to crack. The
Russslans remark that the predictions of
Wltte that the next war will be between
Japan and the United States is approach
ing realization. The English. French and
Japanese delegates .believe that both gov
ernments at Washington and at Toklo
sincerely wish to reach an understanding
and will not be lnfluenoed by Jingoism.
Some of the Germans here are of the
opinion that the situation may lead to an
American-German entente, which, while
preventing the isolation of Germany,
would be the strongest compact against
British supremacy that could be made.
BELIEVES THERE WXLIi BE WAR
Germany Confident There Will Soon
er or later Be a Conflict.
BERLIN, July 7. The conviction of an
ultimate conflict between Japan and the
United States appears to be widespread
in Germany. It Is one of the subjects
certain to be referred to wherever diplo
matists and military and naval officials
and others accustomed to follow Inter
national politics meet.
The newspapers agree that President
Roosevelt Is earnestly trying to satisfy
the Japanese requests. They agree also
that Japan asks nothing unreasonable.
They recognise that the difficulty lies in
the question of race, the economic an
tagonism of the Callfornlans against the
Japanese and the constitutional impossi
bility of Federal coercion.
It Is believed by many that the group
of ruling statesmen in Japan are pre
paring to fight the United States for the
mastery of the Pacific, regardless of the
Ban Francisco incidents.
The strategists of the admiralty regard
a naval .war between Japan and the Unit
ed States as the most Interesting problem
of the day. Careful studies that have
been worked out are unfavorable to the
United States, because the American
fleet, although "of greater power than that
of Japan, would have to seek a fight in
Japane'a home waters.
"TOUGHS" STARTED TROUBLE
New York Pastor Has Some Opinions
on Japanese Question!
NETW YORK, July 7. "I can scarcely
contain my Indignation when I think
of the kind of people who are attack

who do not even know the requisite
of American citizenship, attacking the
Japanese, who are their superiors in
intellect, in character and citizenship.
Who are they that they should de
nounce the Japanese of California?
They are a menace to the republic
Let us have a care."
With this expression as the keynote
of his sermon tonight. Dr. Robert S.
McArthur, of the Calvary Baptist
Church, severely criticised the feeling
against the Japanese in California,
which, he said, had given rise to the
agitation and talk of possible war.

TOKIO, July 7. The Japanese news
papers deprecate the evidence of excite

between the two countries will soon be

desirous of doing Justice than the Jap

T OLD CLERKS
Civil Pension System to Come
Before Congress:
KEEP COMMISSION SCHEME
Would Make Government Employes
Provide Funds, but There Are
Many Objections Treasury
Should Pay Pensions.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 7. The next Congress will
have to wrestle with the problem of
taking care of old Government em
ployes, especially the old clerks in the
departments-in Washington. The Keep
Commission, which brought about many
reforms in the methods of transacting
public business, has recommended the
adoption of a civil service pension sys
tem, and it is quite probable that the
President, in his message to - Congress
next December, will take up the Idea
and urge adequate legislation. Such a
pension, if authorized, would apply to
all civil employes of the Government,
whether they be in the departments in
Washington or in any of the numer
ous Government offices in the states,
postofflces, custom houses, land offices,
to.
The Keep Commission finds that there
are in the Government service a great
many superannuated clerks. The great
majority of them are in Washington.
Their retention In office seriously Im
pairs the transaction of work, for the
old clerks, In many cases, are incapable
of performing active work, and proba
bly do not accomplish as much in a
month as a strong, healthy clerk in the
prime of life could turn out in a week
or less. Yet, they are filling places
that should be filled by younger and
more active persons, and drawing the
pay of efficient clerks. The Govern
ment is thus losing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars every year.
Keep Commission's Plan.
Any private concern would get rid
of the old employes by some method,
and would employ only persons physi
cally and mentally capable. Some cor
porations have adopted the pension sys
tem for old employes. Others dispense
with the services of all employes who
become incapacitated. The latter is a
heartless method and the Government
would be severely condemned should it
follow that plan. But it is likely to
be equally condemned If it carries out
the plan of the Keep Commission.
In brief, the Keep Commission would
assess every civil employe of the Gov
ernment at the rate of $3.67 per month
.per $100 of salary; That is, the clerk
whose salary Is $100 would draw only
$96.43 per month, the balance of his
allotted salary going Into the pension
fund. The employe whose present sal
ary Is 200 per month would be com
pelled to contribute $7.14 per month to
the fund, and those of intermediate sal
aries would contribute accordingly. All
clerks who have reached the age of 70
years would, under the Keep Commis
sion plan, be retired at $900 per annum.
It is estimated that it would require 80
years to accumulate a sufficient fund to
pension the retired employes and the
Commission proposes that Congress
shall make annual appropriations up to
that time, the fund thereafter to be
self-sustaining. In other words, once
the fund Is self-sustaining, the burden
for pensioning old employes must rest
entirely on the active clerks and other
employes in the Government service.
Not Fair to All Hands
The Keep Commlssison plan Is open to
many objections. In the first place, not
10 per cent of the civil employes of the
Government ever remain In the service
until they reach the age of 70. Those
who are possessed of energy or ability
leave the Government service and find
much more lucrative employment else
where. Many who lack ambition remain
In the service, become virtual machines
and die long before they reach the re
tiring age. Of those who remain, a
great many should be retired long before
they reach the age limit.
It Is not Just to assess young and active
clerks, who are only temporarily .in the
Government service, in order' to sup
port in comfort a lot of old clerks who,
during their long career in the Govern
ment employ, failed to make any pro
vision for the future. The young clerk,
particularly of the better class, has le
gitimate use for his money and is enti
tled to It. He is under no obligation to
his seniors. He himself will never de
rive any benefit whatever from the civil
pension fund and he knows it, for he
Intends to leave the Government service
long before his years of activity are
gone. That- clerk and he represents a
very large element In the . Government
service is going to rise up and protest
against being compelled to contribute to
the pension fund.
Pay Pensions From Treasury.
The adoption of the Keep Commission
plan would be an incentive to shiftless
clerks to spend as they go. Some Gov
ernment clerks have saved and are abre
to take care of themselves In their ola
age. There Is one instance Known , in
Washington where a superannuated em
ploye of the General Land Office, when
he round his strength failing, asked for
employment at a lower grade and ultl
mately, when he was unable to perform
any service, tendered bis resignation and
hlmaalf ATI tVl RftvinGD Of &

lifetime, but It is doubtful If there have
been half a dozen sucn instances in mo
fciotnrv of the Government. With
an assured . annuity of $900, the
shiftless clerks could spend their entire
earnings from mourn 10 momn. "i
this $75 per month would come from the
pockets of other employes who owed
them nothing.
If there Is to ba a civil pension list,
it should be placed on the same foot
, ,kA mnftarn nansian roll. The
Government annually pays out millions
to soldiers ana sailors, nuu urei o w
pears to be no good reason wSr the
Government. If It believes in the pen
sion system, should not be equally
liberal with its old employes In the
civil service. There are clerks and
others who have given their lives to
the Government Just as much as men
who have served In the Army or Navy,
and there are thousands whose devo
tion to duty has equaled and some
whose hardships have been as great.
These are no doubt entitled to pensions
in their old age, but the Government
should pay the pensions out of its
Treasury. There is no more justice In
compelling the civil employes to sup
port the superannuated than there
would be In compelling the rank and
file of the Army to contribute the
funds to pension the old and Infirm
soldiers and sailors.
Demote as Well as Promote.
The Keep Commission plan Is faulty
In another particular; It should not
establish an arbitrary retiring age, foV
70 years does not necessarily gauge
the capacity of a man or a woman to
perform clerical work. Hundreds of
old men and women in the Government
service younger than TO should be re
tired; many others well above 70 earn
every cent they are paid. There should
be a retiring board or some other
method of determining when a clerk is
Incapable, Nand, when that flme comes.
the clerk should be retired at a figure I
commensurate with the service ren- j
aered. '
And, in many cases, before retire
ment, there should be a scale of de
motions. Just as there Is a system of
promotions. When the Government
finds a high-priced clerk falling behind
in his work, it should give him a posi
tion of less responsibility and less sal
ary, by degrees reduced until he Is no
longer able to earn a salary, and then
place him on the retired list and give
him a pension out of the Federal
Treasury.
The great trouble in the Government
service is that the system rt demo
tion is seldom practiced, and the old
and Incompetent clerks are allowed to
hold high-prioed. reSDonslhl nnnltinrs

WASHINGTON.
Organize Political Machine to Take
Revenge on Corporations for
Wrongs In the Past.
SEATTLE. Wash., July 7. (Special.)
Political organisers are working
among railroad employes of this state
to line them up In a solid voting ma
chine and to use them in opposition to
the railroad programme. The move
ment started in Tacoma, but the story
of the programme has been spread
among trainmen in most parts of the
state by that time. The railroad
employes only aeked for two pieces of
legislation from the last session. They
secured the passage of the l-hour
bill, but the Senate defeated the fellow-servant
measure, which the rail
road men wanted. As a matter of fact,
the bill was beaten by the lumber
mill and manufacturing interests, but
as the railroads are not paying much
attention to other remedial legislation
the employes have obtained in the past
the men are being urged to organize
against the lines to handle their own
political fight text time, and to take
revenge for their long series of de
feats. As long ago as 1898 the railroads
promised the employes a fellow-servant
bllL Five legislative sessions have
passed without passing the bill, and
the employes are "sore." It Is de
clared In addition that the railroads
are not obeying the laws Intended to
protect the life and health of their
men. The reports of Track and Equip
ment Inspector Perley to the State
Railroad Commission tend to confirm
this claim.
In the past, the railroad employes
have always voted solidly with roads
and against any plan that threatened to
Injure their employers. The men have
taken the position that their Interests
were cloaely allied with the roads
themselves, and have been a dependable
quantity. The failure of the railroads
to reciprocate In obeying the new pro
tective statutes is claimed to be re
sponsible for the new political organ
ization. MUST OPEN BIG ELEVATORS

been subscribed and there seems no
longer any doubt of the fair's success.
In addition to the usual exhibition of
stock and products of the i soil, the fair
this year will probably have races In

started a movement, having for its pur
pose the providing of a suitable race
track. They have already secured an
option on a very desirable piece of land
and hope to have the track In shape In
time for racing during the fair,
