The session on Tuesday will be devoted mainly to the consideration of commercial reciprocity with the Spanish American countries.

On Wednesday the convention will discuss reciprocity with European counr tries, and later in the day commercial reciprocity with Canada will be taken up. On Thursday representatives of the committee on resolutions of the convention will be presented and there will be a general discussion of the principle of commercial reciprocity. The President's time to day was occupied largely in the discussion of reciprocity. Senator Cullom of Illinois and Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania had something to say to him upon that subject and a delegation of agricultural implement manufacturers, consisting of James Deering of Chicago, A. A.

Farguhar, York, and W. C. Barker of New York, who are here to attend the reciprocity convention which meets to morrow, presented a memorial strongly urging that something be done. The delegation told the President that, in its opinion, the time for action had come. Reciprocity had been talked and preached about for years and unless a decisive step was taken now which would effect something, the whale subject might as well be abandoned.

The members of the delegation said that they had no particular interest in any of the treaties, but thought, taken altogether, that the French treaty more nearly represented the best possibilities in the way of reciprocity and that If It could be ratified a distinct victory would be won. Senator Cullom, after his interview with the President, talked in the same vein. His attitude is considered important as it is now practically settled that he will be at the head of the foreign relations committee. Fifteenth Street Baptist Church to Build a New Edifice Raises $3,600 Yesterday. The members and congregation of Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church, Clermont and Willoughby avenues, the Rev.

T. S. Henderson, pastor, pledged 520,000 to the church yesterday. The generous donation will be used to improve the church. The work will be done next summer.

The pledges were made without any pressure and show the harmony and loyalty among the congregation. The pastor and officials were highly gratified at the success of their appeal to the congregation. They asked for $20,000 lor the purpose of making desired improvernenis and changes in the edifice. Fifty dollars more than that amount was secured.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I have read your alter election editorials with much interest, believing that in tlmm I might find the true meaning of the result. Your last editorial concludes that after nil. Grout, Swanstrom, Jerome, Cantor and Fornes are Democrats, and that therefore "the Democracy in the nation will not allow any one to forget that Democrats control this city." From 150 miles away it. appears thus to on old line Democrat: In 1S92 it was my fortune to sit in the Legislature. 1 found Tammany members, both Senators and Assemblymen.

In the Senate Tammany had an active, young, bold, smart leader. He was a protege of what is called "floss Croker." He was a member of Tammany Hall. It. was the Tammany in 1892 as it Is in 1901. Do you ask his It was Jacob A.

Cantor! It. not be possible that it is the brilliant Tammanyke of 1892 whose name you mention now; In; who has lent his name and Influence to defeat his former friends and the "boss" who made hiin all he Is in public life now elected by Republican votes under I'lact! Oh, no! It cannot be that Jacob A. Cantor could become so ungrateful! It must oe mistake a strange similarity of names! Then, to believe that. Low. disciple of Piatt, wins as mayor over a Democrat, over the regularly nominated candidate, known to be antl I'latt, anti Tammany, does not cause me to believe that your city is honestly Democratic.

You are drifting and your voles are strengt Republicanism In city, state and nation. Such Democracy as you boast of is Irregular, disloyal and cannot prove a nucleus for good to the party. Your boasted Democracy, as It. will be represented under Mayor Low's broadax of decapitation, will never be seated at the Democratic tables, in state or nation. The recent campaign of cant, hypocrisy and noise, with filthy hands held up at the brethren, shouting "I am holier than thou!" led by Sheehan and Cantor and Grout, will yet sink into desuetude.

Yours Is the greatest and most progressive city in the world. Your people's most serious fault Is over nervousness, when the Republican owls of the city hoot most, loudly! I advise Democratic composure, retrospection and a careful analysis of the effects of your recent, political action before there is much boasting over the men you name, or over or about their Democracy. EDWARD M. POLE. Windham.

N. November 15, 1901. the city are rapidly filling up with prominent merchants and manufacturers from all parts of the country who come to attend the big reciprocity convention that is to convene to morrow. The delegates, representing some of the most powerful and influential business organizations of the United States, are full of enthusiasm and propose to impress on the President, Congress and the country at large their emphatic wish for the adoption of the pending reciprocity treaties. In the face of the gathering of delegates, another prominent Senator, this time from New.

England, comes out to day in an utterance in which he pooh poohs the idea of reciprocity, and scornfully rejects the talk about hunting new markets as idle and visionary. The growing demand for reciprocity among a large element of the business interests of the country, and the increasing sentiment against it on the part of influential Republican Senators indicate that there is trouble ahead for the Republicans during the coming session of Congress. Every day adds to the number of Republicans who arc going on record against the ratification of trade treaties, and the belittling remarks of some of these men has stirred the resentment of the reciprocity advocates until there is now a decided element of bitterness in the contest. The latest Republican Senator of prominence to come out In opposition to reciprocity is Eugene Hale of Maine. He puts his stamp of disapproval on the proposition to appoint a commission to look up reciprocity matters in the following terse language: "I do not believe in commissioning vagrant negotiators to hurt up reciprocity treaties, and I do not believe Congress will be much troubled by such treaties." Senator Hale believes that the clamor for reciprocity can be traced to our foreign rivals who are unfavorably affected by the Dingley law.

Pie sticks closely to the kind of reciprocity which James G. Blaine introduced aud which encourages the interchange of our own products that other countries do not produce for their products which we do not produce. Senator Hale believes that more good has come from the operation of the Dingley tariff law than would have been effected by the adoption of a dozen reciprocity treaties. He says that the existing tariff law has gained for us nearly all the trade of the civilized world that Is worth having, aud he adds "I am not in favor of Imperiling this condition by a 'wild hunt for new which have never had and never will have any trade or commerce at all comparable to the vast trade ami the Immense exports from this country to bur great rivals. I am not a dreamer over what" is called 'the trade of the which, aside from the trade with Japan, la which we are already fully and Miss Lillie May's costume will consist of green crepe de chine trimmed with cream expected that every one.

without exception, will take stock in this noble enterprise." opportunity was then given for i.h congregation to respond to I lie appeal and make an offering. In the afternoon the matter was brought before the Sunday school which responded liberally. In the evening the subject was "A Divine Consecration." Romans and after the sermon the ordinance of baptism was administered. After the evening offering had been taken it was found that pledges amounting to over J3.600 had been received during the day. SAYS IT WAS UNFAIR.

To the Editor of the Drooklyn Eagle: Being desirous of witnessing a performance of Henry Irving and Ellen Terry at ths Montnuk Theater, I applied at the box office for a scat. but. found that I had waited too lone to get a desirable one, except at a high price, so 1 decided ro go in the gallery. Price fiO cents for this engagement. 1 arrived at the theater fifteen minutes tie fore lie doors opened and found a crowd of women and women accompanied by their escorts around the entrance.

When the doors wen opened they wi rc admitted, while I. wltli the others on the line, wero kept outside to give them time to get seated. we were allowed lo enter, the lino was maintained all the way upstairs; meanwhile women unaccompanied or with en i nrif were given the right of way and allow. il to pass upstairs; when I reached the lop, all seals were taken (many of those arriving fifteen minutes later than I) and I conscqucniiy had to stand up during the performance. I do not think that.

I am lacking in respect and courtesy to the fair sex, but do think in ibis case it was somewhat unfair to a poor lonely, unaccompanied man. II. M. lirookiyn. November 16, 1901.

There is no law which gives the dry goods stores the use of Livingston street; to load up, and, even so, with the single track it would not Interfere. What is the Eagle's idea of this suggestion? BROOKLYNITE.

November 16, 1901. MRS. PARKER'S APPEAL Brooklynite Says Company Is Thus Able to Save Money. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The following Is taken from an editorial in your valuable paper of the 13th "What is principally worth bearing in mind is the fact that the interests of the corporation are literally identical with those of its patrons. The more passengers it carries the more encouraging becomes its financial statements.

The better time its cars make, the more passengers it carries. What contributes to the welfare of the passenger as a passenger is of service to the company as a company. Nothing, therefore, could be more absurd than to suppose that the managers are willfully furnishing causes for complaint." Are you sure that the Eagle is right about this matter as regards the Brooklyn Rapid Transit? If so, why is It that during the rush hours the running time of cars from Park row to East New York is said to be 42 minutes, and if you want to make the same distance, say, after 9 P. with pretty clear tracks up Fulton street, the time Is 56 minutes? Why, you can walk up In almost the time they crawl up late In tie evening, when they could make the run in 35 minutes, but by this method they make a car pay better and the crew are paid by the trip! Why Instead of going to the expense of widening Livingston street can they not put a single track on the suth side, using it down mornings for express cars and up evenings.

True, those child soldiers fought, they carried the ammunition to their fathers, they helped load, yes, and shoot, and endured all the privations of war, many of thorn doing as effective work as any man and so deserved to suffer as prisoners of war. Some mother who reads this may be as old as the writer and can recall the stories of some relative of her childhood telling of their participation in the work of their parents when battling to build and preserve us a nation.

Happy were they. They succeeded. They were left In their loved country to enjoy the blessing of peace and prosperity. Mothers of every nation, creed and color go In spirit to the prison camps of Bermudalook at those little fellows almost naked (the British government furnishes only soldiers' rations), huddled together, longing for their mothers, and my appeal I know will not be in vain for covering for them.
