KING EDWARD'S NEWSMAN HAS HARD WORK
TO HOLD DOWN HIS HIGHLY EXALTED JOB
(BT KalOOlm Clark.)
(Copyright. Hesnt Hew Service, by leased
Wire to The Journal.)
Ixmdon. Dec. 10 It waa unfortunate,
not only to his majesty, but for all the
members of his household, that King
Kdwnrd should mtve been suffering from
a severe attack of gout during the king
of Portugal's recent visit to Windsor
castle.
Although King Fdward was, of course,
geniality Itself to his guests, he was
In a very Irritable temper with those
about him and the climax was reached
when the courts newsman, the author of
that lively publication known as the
court Circular, neglected to Issue to
the London press ths speech msde In
French by King- Carlos
The morning sfter the speech King
Edward was extremely annoyed to find
the addresses In English In all ths Lon
don papers, and finally It was discovered
that the court newsman had. In a state
of panic, failed to gel the French version
verbatim, had Implored the king of
Portugal fn the small hours of the morn

HIS FOLLOWERS SURE
RISE IS TEMPORARY
Believe that He Plans a Fresh
Coup to Sweep Standard
Oil from the
Field.
(Journal Special Bertie. )
New York. Dec. 10 "I will knock the
bottom out of Amslgamated yet."
Such was the statement delivered by
Thomas P. Lawson last evening, after
the cloee of a day In which' a rise was
shown In the market value of Amal
gamated Copper. He repeated the state
ment again today. And his followers
believe he will keep his promise.
There was Inertia yesterday, not In
ertia such as the market sometimes
knows, but a lethargic movement com
pared to the trading of the last fsw
days when things were wide open and
the roar of trade was so loud that It
passed through the stern gray granlts
walls and out Into ths street, where the
clamor of the curbstone dealers failed
to drown It
The lull before the storm It may be.
Certainly so if Dawson makes his pre
diction and threat good. Predatory
I.awaon may be, but his actions today
I showed naught but the self confidence of
a man who has thrust his Irons into the
white heat of Wall street's glow In the
past and held them there when weaker
ones have fallen before the blast.
Lawson's followers gathered In groups
as ths short session of yesterday neared
a close, and held whispered conferences.
It waa admitted that Standard Oil had
dominated the day. It was shown open
ly In the trading and In the mastership
of dosen of brokers who are not present
unless somstnlnt bit Is to be handled.
There waa a gain all along the line In
stocks, under Dawson's quietude and
the Standard's steady bull movement,
and as Amalgamated gained $2.$7tt un
der this steady boost Atchison clambered
with It, showing $2.00 In gains over the
ruck of yesterday's running. Reading
and Sugar worked their way up under
the better feeling to a gain of f 1.60 be
fore the big gong announced the close,
and belated brokers who In many years
have not waited for Its Saturday clamor
donned their overcoats In the cloak
room, glad that the day had closed with
no wild rush and no onalaught through
the tearing down of "Frensled Finance"
fences.
. Lawsrn tonight Is resting, but says
the batga haa but begun; that Us slo

working exactly as he planned It.

Thomas W. Lawson, Whose Battle
MRS. MAYBRICK
HER LONG
(Special Dispatch by bMSfl Wire to Tbe Journal)
New York, Deo. 10. Mrs. Florence
Maybrlck's eagerly awaited story of the
unproved crime that deprived her of her
children, resulted In her arrest, trial
and conviction for the poisoning of her
husband, and doomed her to pass the
best IS years of her life In hard and for
bidding English, prisons. Is ready for
presentation to the American public
Its title Is "Mrs. Maybrlck's Own
Story; My Dast Fifteen Tears," and It
Is published by the Funk Wagnsils
com pan y.
This tragls. heart-breaking story of a
heart-broken woman waa written at
Cragsmoor. N. Y . the beautiful coun
try seat of Mrs. Maybrlck's most de
voted friend In America, Mrs. Helen
Densmore, and as a last sorrow for a
woman of sorrow. It waa Mrs. May
brlck's task to close In desth the eyes
of this, her staunchest support, almost
with the last chapter of the book. And.
as a voice from the tomb, even in death
proclaiming the Innocence of her life
time protege, came the words of Mrs.
Densmore, framed In an appeal for sym
pathy for the prisoner of Aylesbury.
"Mrs. Maybrlck was sentenced to be
hanged," rings this voice from the grave.
I was Interested to learn from him that
the high reputation which these people
have gained for their transport service
was more than strengthened by the al
most perfect appointment of their
hospital ships. Anyone who has studied
Japanese colored pictures or traveled In
their country probably knows that while
that white Is the emblem of mourning
to them, as black la with us. All their
dresses and bedding are colored.
When the hospital ships first atempted
to Introduce white sheets and coverlets
on the beds and white dresses and caps
on ths nurses. It can readily be Imagined
how vigorously the sick and wounded
Japanese objected. In fact they had to
be very badly wounded and helplessly
weak before they could be prevailed on
to accept the change.
Perhaps If we were suddenly conveyed
into a large and aombre-hued hospital
ward, with black sheets and coverlets of
the same color, dried Immortelles on the
tables by our bedside and blackgowned
nurses flitting from place to place, our
fevered and delerloua minds might also
gather more of the horror of the place
than they could bear.

"by a Judsre who. not long after the
trial, resigned the Judgeship because of
a mental disease. Three days before the
appointed day for execution the Sentence
was commuted to Imprisonment for lire.
"Through the blss of a mentally un
sound Judge, this American woman was
kept for all these years In an English
prison In spite of the urgent remon
strances of eminent Americans, such as
Secretaries Blaine and Hay, and In the
face of earnest representations by Presi
dents Harrison and McKlnley through
Ambassadors Lincoln and Choate.
'The legal digest of the trial to be
presented in the book, as a supplement to
her story, will. I am sure, be conclusive
evldenoe to all unprejudiced minds of
Mrs. Maybrlck's innocence, legal as well
as moral."
In her foreword to the story, Mrs.
Maybrlck, after giving a short sketch
of her ancestry, tells how "at the age
of 18 she waa married to James May
brick on July 17, 181. at St. James
church, Piccadilly, London. They settled
at Algburet, a Liverpool suburb, and a
son. James Chandler, was born on March
24, 1SSZ, and a daughter, Gladys Evslyn,
on June 10, 1 886.
Tells of Tragedy.
At this point Mrs. Maybrlck plunges
directly Into the tragedy of her life and
tella the story of her sudden and as
tounding arrest on the charge of poi
soning her husband, the father of her
young children.
"Slowly consciousness returned. I
