TEEL DIVIDENDS REDUCED
Hollcri of Common I'.ock Get One-Half the
Usual Amount.
RUMOa. OF DIFFERENCES ARE DISPROVED
ettlemeat of Business of Big Corpo
ratios Shows It In Worse Condl-
J Hon Than at Corresponding
' Time Last Year.
NEW. YORK, Oct. . The dividend on the
common stock of the United Stites Steel
corporation for the last quarter was today
reduced from 1 per cent to one-half ot '
per cent, thus setting at rtt a matter that
has agitated Wail s.reet and flnanc a) cir
cles generally for many weeks. To qu ite
an attorney of high autHotity In the affairs
of the corporat.on, "the action of the bjard
was unanimous and was caused by
a decrease of $4.2.66i for the third quarter
falling off of bus nesj." This last Is borne
out by the financ.al ststerant Issued short
ly after the meeting. The statements shows
a decrease' of 4.4B,tS for the third quarter I
of the calendar year, compared with the I
same period Inst year and a decrease of '
$4,33.4tl7 compared with the preceding
quarter of this year. On October 1, l'J02,
the corporation had unfilled orders of 4,
$43,000 tons on hand. This year the unfilled
orders on the same date amounted to 3,
728,742 tons.
The course of steel common stock In the
last few months clearly Indicated that to
day' cut has been largely discounted. In
fact, wagers that the dividend would be J
reduced were plentiful recently and there
were predictions that It would be passed
completely. Nevertheless, today's action
came as a surprise to many -who argued
that It would be Impossible to make any
change at this particular time.
Prominent Directors Present.
The Importance of today's meeting which
was preceded by that of the finance com
mute, was emphasised by the attendance
of nineteen of the. twenty-four directors.
Including,' Jv. P." Morgan, whose presenoe 't
these "meetings haa been very rare. Attiong
the absentees . were. John D. Rockefeller
and Ms soni John ivjrv, William IL Moore
and Marshall Field, of Chicago. The ab
sence pf tbe Rockefellers was the subject
of some -comment, because of the rumors
Industriously circulated for weeks past
that the Standard Olf faotion hud arrayed
Itself against Mr. Morgan and bis friends
and would hold out for a reduced dividend.
The action of the board on this point how
ever, disposed of these rumors. The ses
sion of the director was a brief Que. The
printed statement of Comptroller filbert
given out directly after the director's meet
ing, was proof that today' action had bsen
determined some hours in advance of the
meeting. ' ...
The .regular dividend of 1 per cent on
the preferred stock was declared. This di
vidend Is payable November 16. The divi
dend on the common stock la payable De

INCREASE IN CANDY HABIT
More Than i 00,000,000 Worth Con
sumed Annually nnd the Demand
Is Rapidly (Ironing.
Candy costs the people of these Vnlted
States something more than $100,009,000 a
year. For what they spend on confectionery
they could build and equip a fleet of battle
ships. The new King Edward VII, for lir5
stance, of which Great Britain Is Inor
dinately proud, ss the biggest battleship
afloat, cost a little lees tnan J.f. 000.000. They
could pay the salaries of president and vice
president, and all the cabinet, of senators
and representatives and supreme court
Judges, and of a small army of underlings,
as well, for what they spend on sweets. If
they could be Induced to swear off candy
for a year and devote the money saved to
public purposes they could carry out some
pretty extensive and much needed public
Improvements, build a subway or two, or a
few tunnels or bridges. Also they would
probably save money on doctor' bills.
To be sure It would be hard on the doctors
and on the dentists and others of their Ilk,
who earn their livings at tne expense of the
pains of humanity. Also It would' be hard
on thousands and tens of thousands of men
and women, young men and girls, who work
In the thousands and tens of thousands ot
candy factories throughout the country.
But It might be a good thing for the na
tional dyspepsia, which is notorious.
There I actually $100,000,000 worth of candy
made and sold In the home market every
year. Practically none Is exported; very
little Is Imported. America makes the best
candy In the world. American abroad
know that to their sorrow. They try in vain
to buy on the Paris boulevards or In the
London shops such candy a thcyTiave been
accustomed to getting on Broadway orT
Fifth avenue, or the main thoroughfares of
Washington or Philadelphia. Boston or Chi
cago, Bt. Louis. Denver or San Francisco
or any other American city of any size.
New York alone make $30,000,000 worth,
or one-fifth of the nation's annual candy
supply. - She has about. 900 candy factories,
working, , full blast, .winter- ..smdV summer.
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts afc' Illinois,
after New York, contribute most largely to
the yearly manufacture Which hi, of course,
the yearly consumption. ; And this $100,000.
000 doe not represent any particular high
water mark In candy eating. ' The quantity
eaten Is continually Increasing, the demand
Is -becoming annually greater and the sup
ply only Just keeps pace with It. It Is not
a thing that Is made when sugar perhaps Is
cheap, nnd held till the market rises. There
Is no possibility of manufacture at one sea
son to meet the demands of another.
It Is partly that this country makes better
candy than any of the other nations and
partly that we can affbrd to make cheaper
candy that Is responsible for the abnormal
development of this national sweet tooth.
Sugar and syrups are lower In price than
on the other side. The importation of for
eign confectionery usd to be considerable.
Last year It amounted only to $73,000. And

ROMANCE . OF THE PAPACY
Romantic Secrets of the' Vatican
that Have Reached P'bll
Knowledge.
A a rule the eeret nf the Vaticnn
are well kept and most of the stories that
are told apropos of the new pope must be
token with a grain of salt. Now and
again, however, something of the romance
of the papacy really leaks out, though
not through the cardinals. The was, for
example, tho strange case of Pope Plus
IX. pretty well known a generstlon ago,
but now almost forgotten. In his younger
days, when he was Count Mastat Ferrati
and a layman he met and fell In love with
Miss Foster, dau.il, tor r,t t.i.v.
Protestant bishop of Kllmore. who was
"v.ng in Italy with her slater, Mme. De
"B rosier ravored the young
count, but Mme. De Balis drovs the lover
away. Afterward she relented, the count
returned and the wedding day was fixed.
On the appointed day the bride and her
friends were at the church, but no bride
groom appeared and Count Mastal Ferrati
was never seea araln. Years ifinrn
Miss Foster went to see Pope Plus IX,
ana was astonished to recognise in the
pontiff her old flame tbe count.
The most sensational novelist could not
have Invented a plot more fascinating than
the real story of Pope Leo's predecessor.
Mme. De Salts had made an unhappy mar
riage with an Italian, and her parents
fearing a similar fat for the younger
daughter, made her promise to guard Miss
Foster against a union with a foreigner;
hence her Interference to separate the
lovers ; It was only when her sister pined
away that Mme. De Balls relented. The
disappearance of tho count haa quite a
flavor of Duma about It. Unknown to
his fiance he was bound to the Jesuits, and
his superiors in ths order pre-emptorlly sent
him away on a mission to prevent hi mar
riage with an Englishwoman and a Prot
estant. Letters were Intercepted and he
waa led to believe that she had married
another, so he took orders and rapidly
rose to be bishop, then cardinal and
eventually pope. Then In the night of hi
grandeur he wa brought for a moment
face to face with the woman he had loved
and lost. Nothing more dramatic ha ever
been staged. Detroit Free Press.

LONDON. Oct. 6.-Thcre Is practleslly
but one opinion of the reconstructed British
cabinet, and that Is tlmt Premier Balfour
missed his opportunity to rehabilitate the
charncter of tils government, and that so
far as the unionist policy at large Is con
cerned, the ministry has lost most of Its
prestige and authority.
This estimate of what 1 already com
monly designated as ths "transitional cab
inet" seems largely due to the sense of
chaos arising from the unexpected defection
of the duke of Devonshire (lord president of
the council and conservative leader of the
House of Lords, whose resignation w& un
expectedly made public yesterday), ns with
the notable exception of tho Colonial recre
taryshlp, tho premier has reconstructed the
cabinet In a manner closely agreeing Kith
public ojlnlon.
Austen Chamberlain, Mr. Rrodrlck and
Mr. Arnold-Foster were all some time ago
assigned with more or less approval to the
posts to which they have been appointed.
In spite of this there Is no disguising the
fact that a large rent In the party unity
has been caused by the resignation of the
duke of Devonshire, the chief author of
tho liberal-unionist party, and this was
amply recognised by Mr. Balfour's letter,
acknowledging the receipt of his resigna
tion.
The duke's action, however, seems to
havo aroused the same fighting spirit In
Mr. Balfour, which enabled hjm to triumph
over difficulties In the 'kO's. when the whole
of Ireland was In arms against him. And
there are not lacking those who foretell
that he will again come put on top and pro
vent the collap3o of his government. The
general consensus of opinion hnrdly expects
the government to remain In power, even
for a single session, and all the political
parties are preparing for an early dissolu
tion of Parliament.
It was rumored today that the marquis
of I,ondonderry, president of the Board of
Education, may follow the duka of Devon
shire Into retirement.
The new colonial secretary, Alfred Lyt-
tleton, has made only one pronouncement
on the fiscal question. On that occasion he
defended Mr. Chamberlain's action In
launching the discussion, but contended
that the poor mun's budget must not be
weighted and said he would be especially
sorry to add to the food bill.
He anticipated a readjustment rather
than an additional taxation, and thought
the government should have a weapon for
use In the negotiation of commercial
treatise.

"Workers Should Be Protected.
Have you ever considered why Canada
takes a much-larger amount, per heau of
British manufactures than the . United
States? Australia thrice as much as
Canada, and South Africa more than Aus
tralia. These are all protective countries.
I see that some of our labor leaders are
persuading the workmen to maintain the
system ot free Imports. 1 undertake to say
that not one of them could visit the
colonies for six months without singing a
different tune. The vast majority of the
workmen In the colonies are protectionists
and I am disinclined to accept the easy
explanation that they are all fools. I fall
to understand why a man who is Intelli
gent here becomes an ldlut when he gots
to Australia. He does, however, got rlJ
of a number of Old World prejudices and
superstitions.
Now what Is the history of protection?
First, there Is tariff and no Industries.
Then gradually primary Industries for
which the country has natural facilities
grow up behind the tariff wall. Then, sec
ondary Industries spring up; first of neces
saries, then of luxuries, until at last all
the ground Is covered.
The countries to which I have referred
are In different stayea of the protective
process. In the United States the process
in completed. It produces everything and
exclude everything. There Is no trade to
be done with It for a paltry 8 shillings per
head.
To Keep Colonial Trade.
Canada has been protective a long time.
The principal Industries ure there and you
can nevtr get rid of them but the second
ary Industries have not yet been created
and there Is an Immense trade still open
to you to maintain und Increase. Aus
tralia Is less developed and takes more
than Canada. At the cape there ure prac
tically no manufactures.
We can intervene now but It Is doubt
ful if we could Intervene ten years hence.
We could say to our great colonies we
understand your views and aspirations and
do not care to dictate or think ourselves
supelor to you; we recognize yuur right to
develop your industries so as not to be de
pendent on foreign supplies but there are
many things you do not know how to make
for which we have a great capacity of
production; leave them to us; do not In
crease the tariff walls agulnst us; let us
exchange with you for your productions;
do It because we are kinsmen, because it Is
rood for the empire as a whole, and be
cause we have taken the first step and set
you the example; we offer you a prefer
ence; we rely upon your patriotism and
your urrecllon mat we snail not be luseis
thereby.
Suppose we had made such an offer to the
United States and Germany ten or twenty
years ago, do you suppose that we should
not have been able to retain a great deal
of what we have now lott and cannot re
cover. I will give you an Illustration.
America Is the strictest of the protective
nations. It haa a tariff which to me is
an abomination. It Is so Immoderate, un-
IT'S A MISTAKE
To Attribute Coffee Ilia to Poor tirade
of Coffee.
Many people lay all the blame for the
diseases caused by coilee upon the poorer
grades of coffee, but this is an error as the
following proves: "I have uied every kind
of the best grade ot tea and coffee that can
be got from a first class grocer, but never
found one that would not upset my nervous
system and It was nut until I began to
drink Postum Food Coffee In place of coffee
and tea that I had relief from the verriilc
attacks of nervous sick headache from
which I had suffered for J years.
"I had tried all kinds of medicines, but
none helped me.
"Soon after 1 stopped drinking coffee and
began to drink Postum the headaches grew
leaa and It was not long until I was en
tirely cured and I have never had a return
of this distressing trouble, for nowadays I
never drink coffee but stick to Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what Postum
had done for m she gave up coffee which
she had drunk all her life. This was six
weeks ago and she Is a changed woman.
fcr her nervousness has all disappeared,
her face haa become smooth and her cheeks
have a rosy red color. She sleeps well, too,
something she could never do whUe ihe
drank coffee. We consider Postum a
household necessity In my house and have
Induced many friends to try this wonderful
food drllK In place of coffee." Name given

But ttntir recent times, even this Im

annum ami which we might have kept
If we had given some reclpr icil advantafe.
It would not have beef) w;rth America's

It had no particular use or special aptitude.
If we had made some such concessions to
Gc-rmany we should still have been export

market 1'or which IS now closed to us. If
we are to lose the colonies as we lost our
forelsn trade, we have arilved at the part

sf-lzed now It will not recur. C'inada will
full to the level of the United States, Auh
trallln to the level ot Canada and South
Africa to the level. of Australia and that
would be the beginning of a general decline
wh'ch would rob us of our most important
trade. .
Mr. Chamberlain said he believed that
the colonies "are prepared to meet us In re
turn for a very moderate preference. They
would resolve to us the trade we already
enjoy and would also arranfe their tariffs
In the future In' order not to start com
petition with those already In existence In
the mother country and not only would
they enable us to retain our trade with
them but they would give us preference on
all trade done with them by our foreign
competitors." '
The colonial trade thus secured, said the
spjeaker, would Tie sufficient to afford em
ployment to 615,000 Workmen at 30 shillings
per week, and Calculating their families to
give subsistence to, 8,073,000 persons. That
had been called a squalid argument, there
fore he appealed to the higher ground that
the privileges of empire brought with them
great responsibilities. He had spoken with
many colonists who believed that the pres
ent colonial relations could not be perma
nent. They must either be drawn closer to
gether or they , would drift apart an opin
ion shared by Lord Roseberry, a states
man whose Instinct were alweys right
though his acts often lagged behind his In- (
stlncts.
H believed that It was only by a com
mercial union and reciprocal preference
that they could lay the foundations of a
federation of the empire to which they all
looked as a brtlitnt possibility. He wished
to repeat explicitly that manufactories. It
was evident if they wanted to prevent sep
aration there must be a preferential tax on
food. That wa the great cry of his op
ponents and It was true but only half the
truth, because those opponents forget to
add his explanation that nothing he pro
posed would add one farthing to the cost
of living of any working man, or of any
family In the country.
Here la the Plan.
With regard to his plan he would state
It briefly. He proposed to put a low duty,
not exceeding two shillings (48 cents) a
quarter on foreign corn, but none on. corn
from the British possessions; he proposed
no tax on maize,' partly because Unformed
the food of some of the very poorest among
the population and partly because It was
raw material a feeding stuff. He pro
posed a corresponding tax on flour and ho
would give special preference to the miller
with the object ot re-eatabllshlng one of
our ancient Industries and of preventing a
rush from the country to the town, and
also of placing corn, offal and feeding stuffs
more cheaply within the possession of the
farmer.
A small tax of about five per cent on for
eign meat and dairy produce would be Im
posed Including bacon, which was the food
of so many of the poorest people. Lastly
he proposed to give a substantial prefer
ence to the colonies on wines and fruits.
Again this Increases he proponed ome
great remissions. He proposed to take off
three-quarters ef the duty on tea, half the
duty on sugar, with corresponding reduc
tions upon cocoa and coffee. The net re
sult of these Impositions and remissions
would be that the artislans' food would, ac
cording to the most elaborate calculations,
cost him two pence half penny t5 cents)
less per week than it did at present, while
that of the agricultural laborer would cost
him two pence (4 cents) "less, but If as
he believed a great part of the tax on food
would be paid by the foreigner there would
be a reduction In the cost of food both for
artisan and the agricultural laborer.

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 6. With the approach
of October 8, the nominal date for Rus
sia' evacuation of Manchuria, great ten
sion Is observable among the Japanese
populace, but in diplomatic circles it is.
reaffirmed that hopefulness prevails of an
amicable settlement of the embroglio be
tween Russia and Japan on the basis of
minor concessions by Russia in Korea and
Manchuria, although officials do not pro
fess to expect that the evacuation of Man
churia will be effected on the exact date
named.
Baron von Rosen, the Russian minister
to Japan, has returned here from a con
ference with Viceroy Alleff at Port Ar
thur, and had a short conference with
Baron Komuru, the Japanese foreign mln,
later, on October A. Baron Komuru ha
since given out a hopeful Interview, but
the Japanese ministers for war and navy
thereafter had a long conference with the
t.mperor. Marquis Ito, president of the
privy council, and Viscount Katsu, the pre
mier, indicating that preparations are going
on to meet any eventuality. The fleet and
the army are both, without question, In
readiness and large supplies for both the
army and navy have been accumulated.
The arsenals have been quietly jit work
for a long time past and the defence have
been minutely Inspected.
Popnlar FeellngT Aggravated.
Popular feeling in Japan 1 exasperated
at Russia' diatory tactic and excitement
haa been aggravated by the sensational
press, which Is constantly circulating ru
mors of fresh Russian aggressions. Many
of these are of the most circumstantial
character and are calculated to Inflame
public opinion. The officials deprecate these
reports, which It Is believed In some quar
ters emanate from Russian sources with
the objeot.of forcing Japan's hand. The
Japanese statesmen remain calm. Japan
apparently considers herself capable of
dealing with Russia single handed. It Is
true that England is supporting Japan
trongly at Peking and at Seoul, Korea,
but It is thought here that England and
France desire peace at any price. Germany
is ostensibly neutral. The United States
la chiefly concerned In it commercial
treaty with China, to be signed October 8.
but the Japanese prees claims that Ameri
ca I ready to yield Japan Its strong moral
support against any unfair encroachment.
In plte of popular Irritation It Is be
lieved that the Japanese officials will be
able to control tho Jingo element and
maintain the present peaceful defcnlvo
attitude, unless some new and unforeseen
event precipitate fresh Issues.
Russia Move Very Slowly,
PARIS, Oct. 6 -Omclal advices snow that
the Jupanese fleet Is In the harbor of
Ma Ban Pho. No troops have yet been
landed.
It Is practically settled that Russia will
not evacuate Manchuria on tho dute fixed
for the evacuation. The Russian ambas
sador to Japan, Baron de Rosen, having
plenary powers, Is now negotiating with
the foreign minister at Tokio, and there
Is reason to believe that u possible basis

WESTERN RAILROADS AGREE
Rock Island Will Probably Return
to Western Paaaenger As
sociation. CHICAGO, Oct. . Western railroads
have settled their differences regarding mil
eage and rate questions and the chances
are fair for the ultimate return of the
Rock Island to membership In the Western
Passenger association and a restoration of
harmony. All this was accomplished at a
meeting held here today.
The mileage question waa settled by the
amalgamation of the three existing mileage
bureau, and the adoption of three mileage
tickets, which will result In a test of the
merits ot the credential system. The three
mileage books, which will be placed on
sale In all western territory on and after
December 1, are as follows:
A new 4.000 mile Interchangeable cre
dential book, which must lie honored by all
iohiIh in the arnang.imated bureau.
The present 2,"") mile Interchangeable
credential book, the use ot which 1 op
tional. A new 1000 mile book good on trains, us
being optional.
All roads must use ticket number 1 and
must choose between numbers 2 and 8.
The compromise permits the Rock Island
to retain 1.000 mile credential ticket; also
permits other roads to use the proposed
book good on trains, and by the substitu
tion of a new 4.000 mile ticket the two
s stems are fairly pitted agalnat each
other.
The Rock Island further agreed to take
out the & rate between Chicago and Bt.
Paul on October IS, the other lines to
withdraw the rate tomorrow.
The Northwestern, Milwaukee and Rock
Island were appointed a committee to or
ganize the new amalgamation board. It la
expected that other differences will be set
tled soon, a disposition being shown to
make certain cuucesslous to the Rock
