x~nioss Strstsgoa.
It Is doubtful il there IL any othes
animal in the world so cunning as the
fox. 1t certainly exercises reason,
since it provides against new contin-
gencies as LIST al they arise. Here IL
a story which exhibits almost human
calculation.
A pair of red foxes took up their
home on a Dakota farm, on knoll. ID
wheat-Eeld. where they began to rear
four little foxes.
Every day. while narrowing and
sowing wheat in the field" says the
farmer. Il saw the two old foxes lying
on the little mound in front Of their
home. The kits rolled about in the
sun. played with the bushy tails OF
their parents. and enjoyed themselves
apparently as much as a group OF kit
tens.
lone morning a neighbor came
to work in a field adjoining. bring
ing with him dog, and the
dog, with all the curiosity OF HE
kind. soon began the investigation OF
both farms. He was still long dis
lance from the fox-dcn when heard
sharp, warning bark and saw the kits
disappear. As looked. the mother
fox lay on the mound, her ears erect.
her nose on the ground. all attention.
The father of the family. with his big
tail swinging in the wind. trotted
toward the dog.
Can he intend to attack himl !
wondered. had never heard of such
thing, and the deg. though not a
large one. was still larger than the
fox. But reynard knew his business
better than |. He approached the in
truder until the dog saw him, when
both stopped for an instant, and then
the dog gave chase. The fox, with a
bark of defiance. turned and ran in
direction away from his home.
AT first the dog seemed to gain
rapidly upon the fox, but l watched
them for nearly a mile before they dis
appeared in the prairie grass. and con-
cluded that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way.
lin about an hour the dog returned
from fruitless chase. and for time
he contentedly followed his master.
Then he began prowling around again.
'.All this time the mOther-fOx had
v,fnf ~
quiet vigilance; but now. as the dog
again ventured near. she rose and
trOtted toward him, and the dog was
soon chasing her over the prairie.
Hardly had they disappeared when the
male trotted back from some hiding
place and took the position vacated by
his mate. The dog returned after q
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to a chase. first by the
male and then by the female. and
while the one kept him busy. the other
watched over the young. who did not
show themselves after the first sight OF
the dog.
1T is hard to say which we admired
most: the bravery of the pair in chal-
longing the dog to a race that would
have proved fatal had he caught them.
their ingenuity in taking turns, SO that
each might be fresh when chased.
their skill in leading him away from
their young. or their cleverness in
throwing him off their track when far
enough away."-Golden Days.

THE SITUATION.
The Evening Sun sums Up the FURRY
aud Cause.

New YoRK, Nov. 15.-The Evening
Sun says the facts regarding the extra
ordinary monetary situation which pre-
vailed in London the past ten days may
be summed up pauthoritatively as follows:
Owing to the extent of their operations
in railroads and lands in South America,
Barings have been more or less embar-
rassed for over six months. Last Thurs.
day week Barings, at the conclusion of
business, decided It was impossible for
them tocontinue. Friday morning they
so notified the directors of the Bank of
England, who Immediately convened
and startled the whole financial world
by raising the rate.
The proceedings were most unprec-
edented, and called halt i'm specula.
ton at every money center in the world.
The present week has been one of the
most painful suspense in banking circles
and this feeling was reflected in minor
degree in New York. There were only a
few OF the more important houses hav-
ing European connections that have
been aware OF the real nature of the dltfi.
Guilty in London.
Tie article goes on to say that of the
Ell ,O00, 600 furnished Barings, the Bank
OF England furnished $1,000, 900, and
other members of the relief party the re-
mainder. Barings are allowed three
years 10 readjust their affairs. All
actual peril is now believed to be past.

STILL TALKING TARIFF

LONDON, Nov. 14.--Sir Lyon Flay fair

she now gets from the United States. If
Canada would reconstruct her tariff ON

would contribute to her future CONNER

Referring to the meat inspection bill

OF the president to boycott nations was

nized by International law.
lie considered the reciprocity clause
in the Mckinley bill safety valve TO
prevent the high pressure from giving
up protection. Already there were signs
in Germany, Italy and elsewhere of
flags OF distress In the protection camp.
Though England might uv injured for a
year or two by the United States tariff
legislation, he hoped she would not
dream of reprisals.
The Times, in a long editorial, says
Sir Lyons speech is the most complete
exposure yet published on either side
of the Atlantic of the absurdity of the
Mckinley tariff. Opponents of high
protective duties, 1t says, could hardly
do better than to circulate his dispas-
sionate arguments among American
electorates before the next contest for
control of the executive power.

A DAY OF EXCITEMENT.
The New York Stock Mar
ket Demolished.
PANIC THROUGH LONDON CABLES
Advices of the Embarrassment of
Barring Bros. g. Co. the
Bear Lever.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 15.-The stock mar
ket to-day, during the two.hours ses-
sion, was the liveliest we have had since
the great slump of Decem Der Is, 1886,
and for the space of an hour or more
there existed u perfect panic among the
holders of securities, especially railroad
stocks, and the declines established dur
ing that time were greater than ever
before seen in the same time. The only
cause OF excitement was the announce
ment from London that the great firm of
Barring Bros. had been forced to seek as
sistance to tide them over the present
financial crisis, and the holders of stocks
became panic-stricken over the news,
without rejecting that the danger had
really already passed when the Bank of
England and che Rothschilds came to
the rescue.
Early advices from London were reas-
suring and the crisis was represented as
over, and Improvement began. The first
prices were generally fractionally higher
than Yesterdays figures. The announce.
ment about Barings was thrown at the
market Immediately, however, and the
good feeling disappeared instantly, and
from prospective buyers the whole room
became sellers ut the best prices obtain
able.
The force of the decline may be gath
cred from the fact that in the short
space of an hour Lackawnnna had
dropped away 9IS, Mexican Central ~,

cent. The drop, however, soon brought
into the markets a class of buyers who
are paying outright for their securities,
and the current was soon turned by this
support when the bears joined
to realize profits accrued upon the tre-
mendous drop. Early selling soon de.
veloped the fact that there were
large selling orders in the market,
and the trading of the professional
element soon took the market away
from the sellers, and innumerable stop
orders were quickly uncovered, render
ing the stampede more serious every
minute.
After tho downward movement was
checked the bank statement was issued,
showing material gain in the surplus
reserve, and the growing strength of the
banks leaves no further feeling OF appre-
hensIon among Wall street houses, and
the general impression is that as soon as
London becomes really quiet there will
be no disturbing influence iouna here.
The rally which obtained in the last
hour, extended to per cent. and over,
in some of the most pronounced cases.
but the upward movement was insult.
ficient to make up anything like the
losses incurred, and an extremely fever
ish and unsettled condition marked the
trading throughout. The close was very
active and strong for moment. The
very material losses for the day are :

lists Defeated.
Copyrighted Associated Press, 800,

BERLIN, Nov. v.t5.-Proiessor Koch holds
supreme sway over public interests. The
publication of his statement at home
and abroad has intensified the excite
ment, and messages afe pouring in from
all parts of Europe and America. Many
medical men, including English and
American physicians, have been study
ing the process under the aides of Pro-
tessor Koch. Interesting reports OF the
progress of the treatment in many cases
continue to be made. To meet the
pressure cases another hospital is about
to be established. The secret of the
composition of the lymph has been
communicated to Koch's intimate col
leagues, also to Professor Weigart, OF
Frankfort, the president of the Ham
burg hospital, and Professor Nothnagel,
of the Vienna university. Nothnagel, in
his address to his students on the
matter, said the discovery has a far
wider scope than Enner's discovery of
vaccination, and is perhaps the grandest
feat In the history of medical science.
Professor Billioths holds that Koch s
method places it beyond doubt that a
remedy will be found before long for
discovery come from French medical
men. some of whom advise incredulity
until the nature OF the remedy is fully
known. and scientific proof given of its
effectiveness.
The leading feature of the primary
education bill of the government con-

representatives of such bodies in each
community being authorized to preside
over the classes. The classes for in

Austria, has been opened at Vienna.
He leaves everything to Milly Stubel,

The socialists were badly beaten in
several community elections this week.
The abolition of repression seems to be

who is now in Joliet prison for COM
plicity in the Cronin murder, regarding
his connection with the case as told 10
an intimate friend, will be published
here tomorrow. O'Sullivan is repre-
sented as saying that he was In ignorance
of the intention to kill the doctor, having
been repeatedly assured by Coughlin
that the purpose was to secure from
Cronin documents valuable TO the Irish
cause, and of which Cronin was treach--
erously in possession. Burke, Cooney,
"The Fox" and OSullivan were in the
Carlson cottage as the doctor drove up,
but O'Sullivan, not liking the actions of
Burke and Cooney, went out, undecided
what to do. When he finally made up
his mind and returned, Cronin was ly-
ing on the floor, apparently dead.
Coughlin came in and began kicking
the body. only desisting when O'Sulli.

MOTOR COLLISION.
Engineer o'Conner Probably Fatally
Injured.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. i5.-A collision
occurred on tho Mount Tabor motor line
at 80 this morning which nearly re-
suited In Jack o. Conner losing his life.
He was on the east-bound train, consist
ing of an enging and ono coach, and
when on the trestle near Lone Fir cem-
etery met the west-bound train coming
at full speed down the grade In COM
mand of Engineer Dan O'Conner, the
formers brother. The west-bound train
should have sidetracked mt the cemetery
to allow the other to pass, as is custom
ary, but the engineer supposed the other
train had missed trip and was still In
East Portland. The trestle being on an
abrupt curve, neither engineer saw the
other until past time to stop.
When the collision came the head of
the eastbound motor crushed in, badly
scalding the engineer. Owing to the
strength of the bridge and rails, none OF
me cars left the track, consequently a
large loss OF life was prevented. OCon-
ner was taken TO the Good Samaritan
hospital and is now resting easy, but is
not expected to live.
