The stock market to-day was extremely
active, although showing a marked decrease on
that point from heavy trading of yesterday,
and while displaying cons derable irreHularity
was in the main decidedly strong, and the result
OF the two hours session to-day is to leave most
Of the list fractionaly higher than last evening
and some are materially sour. The importation
OF gold was the chief item OF news with a
tendency to affect values, but there was little
said about it, AID it may be doubted whether it
had any material influence In making the gains
or the day The opening strong and very
active, and while most Of the list were frac-

be some reaction In stock, AID being Joined by
Reading, affected thu rest of the list to
limited extent Realizatons were the chief
factor in sucn directions as were seen, but the
demand for stocks were still very urgent and
buyers ouJnumbered sellers, and the course of
prices was soon again turned TO the drecti IN Of

was conspicuous because of the sharp loss of 3
per cent. in the early trading, but this was
atteTward entirely made up; while Buffalo
Rochester and Pittsburg was very strong on
light trading. The bank statement showed
only nominal loss in reserves while exhibiting
a material increase in deposits, and the heavy
expansion of the loan, and was considered
good. Traders again went into cover their
shorts in final dealings, and the market de-
veloped marked strength, finally closing active
and strong at best prices Of the day. Final
changes Of note comprise advances of st. Paul

FRENCH NOTIONS OF AMERICA

Exploits OF Seated Bun Faithfully De-
scribed by Paris Periodical.
The notion that the United States is a
country principally inhabited by people
of Indian race still clings to great
many Europeans, and even some of
those who are educated. The most
singular misapprehensions concerning
the Indians and the part of the country
they occupy are continually appearing
in the newspapers in Europe. A French
periodical called Science Pour Tous
(Scicnce for AlD, which declares its
aim to be enlightenment of the public,
recently published the following alb
surd article:
I'VE have received some interesting
information concerning the incidents
which preceded the recent rising in
arms of the Indians in the west, and
one of the first engagements.
The Seated Bull, their chieftain,
having resolved to make known the
fact that the Indians had not received
their annuities and certain promised
munitions, betook himself to the capitol
at Washington.
''Thcrc he laid before the president
Of the Legislative body his complaints
of the governmental agents, who he de-
clared had stolen what was the Indians
due.
"IIc was informed that his declara-
tions would be taken under considera-
ton, and he departed. But the promise
having remained without performance,
the Seated Bull once more came to the
capitol.
"This time, in the midst of the assem-
blagc, the Seated Bull did not utter a
word, but drew his tomahawk and dealt
with it 4 terrible blow upon the marble
table which was before him. The table
was broken in two, and the chiefs
tomahawk buried itself in the floor be-
meath.
at was the token of the chiefs declar-
alton of war.
"The Seated Bull then left the capi.
| tol -yithout anyone daring to lay IL hand
upon him. Returning to his canoe,
which he had tied to one of the piers Oh
the great bridge across the Potomac
river, he padded rapidly back to his
own territory"

Charming Gulf State Bellies.

Probably in no quarter of the union
can feminine beauty be seen in greater
perfection or in more varied types,
says the New Orleans sTimcs-Democrat,
than in the gulf states. The ethereal
blonde, the glowing brunette, the win
some chatain, stately or petite, with
features statucsquc or piquant, seem to
find in our soft and languorous climate
n congcnial atmosphere that aids the
full blossoraing Of their lovclincss. But
the true secret of their power lies not
only in their undcniablc possession of
the fatal Gift" bat also il their charm
of manner, which is gentle without be-
ing insipid, and fascinatcs as much by
the warmth of itself in word and cx-
preston. This is recognized abroad as
well as at homc-a fact illustrated by
the position accorded the bellies of the
far south, and the admiration they
elicit when, like Bonny Leslie. they
undertake to ''sprcad their conquests
further"

HIS NATURAL ENEMIES

The Hamilton Herald is one Of the
independent Republican newspapers
in this state that doesn't truckle TO
the great scold, the Seattle Post-In-
teiligencer, and il has the perception
to see through the fact that the P,-I
has been berating Governor Laughton
because he is not tool of the Seattle
political ring. The Herald's issue of
March 9th contains the following
true and sensible article:
Gov. Laughton vetoed the WATSON rail
road Till, aud the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer Is shedding rain barrels of crOcO-
die tears over the fate OF the measure,
We do not claim to be sufficiently verSed
IN the points OF law embraced Ia the gov
ernor's objections to pass upon the validi
~ Of them. This much, however, we do
know. The WATSON bill fell far short of
the objects sought The legislature,
early In the session, took "a stand against
creating a railroad commission. The
forming Of a commission would have been
the best method Of adjusting differences
between the railroads and the people and
this was the end desired The legislature
saw, when too late, the mistake IL had
made. Then the Fellows bill was thrown
INTO Inc legislative arena. II was radical
and Objectionable in many ways. IN the
hope OF fixing it up IL was amended be-
Yuud recognition or paternity. Then
nothing was left to do but to defeat IT,
for nobody wanted to father IL. There
was a feeling that something must be
done to square the legislators with their
constituents. The WATSON bill, com
promise measure, was the Outgrowth of
this feeling. II is passed as IA record
maker, rather than as a relief measure,
and upon the governor devOlyed the un-
pleasant duty Of penetrating its gauze
and disclosing its film. Had the measure
been one that would have commended
itself on its merits, the grief OF the natu-
raj opponents Of Governor Laughtun
might have appeared sincere. As it is, il
bears long earmarks of political dema-
goguery.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Origin of the Name America Told at
the International Congress In Paris.


The discussion on the origin Of the name
America was opened at the international
congress of Americanists ia Paris by NJ.
Jules Maroon, who asserted, says Science,
that the name America was derived from a
range Of mountains in Central America,
which, in the language of the natives, is
called "Amerique;' and that Vespucci
never bore the Christian name of "Ameri-
CO." because this latter is not saints
name in the Italian calendar; and, further,
that he changed his name "Alberico" to
"AmerigOn for the first time after the
name by which the New World is now
commonly known began to be used in order
to cause it to be believed that the con
tinent WAS SO named in his honor.
But VI. Govt proved two years ago that
the name "Aiberico" is in the Florentine
language identical with "Amerigo;" and
that Vespucci, before the year 1900, some
times subscribed himself "Amerigo" APP
pears from letter recently discovered
among the archives of the Duke of Con
zaga at MaHtHa. This point was c0rrobo-
rated by the Spanish-Americanist De Ia
Espada, from letters and pamphlets pre-
served in the Archiy de las Indias at Sc
vile, in which Vespucci sometimes calls
himself "Alberico," and sometimes Amer
igo." En- PEASANT, the Spanish savant men
toned the interesting fact that the first of
the so called "quatuor navigationes'' was
not made by Vespucci at all.
NJ. Hamy adduced a further interesting
proof of the incorrectness of NJ. MARQUIS
contention in the shape of a map of the
world, prepared in the year 1890 by the
photographer Vallescu, of Mallorca, on the
back Of which is "A note to the effect that
the map was bought in at an auction by
the merchant Amerigo Vespucci for 100
gold ducats. Further, the general secre-
tary Of the congress, NJ. Pector, pointed
out that, according to a communication
received from the president of Nicaragua,
the range Of mountains in question is not
called "Ameriqne" at all, but "Amerisque"

Some of the Other Side

Hamilton Herald; Governor Laughton
has come to the relief of the coal mimi
interests of the state, in the veto of the
section of the revenue bill which placed
penalty upon productive development of
our mines, Section 43 of the bill provided
tax OF four mills on the output of the
coal mines, and section A. provided for the
tax OF coal properties at the actual cash
value of the land. The legal definition of
land embraces all above or beneath the
surface that forms part of the realty
IL VIII be seen, therefore, that the bill as
framed would have imposed a double tax
alton upon productive coal properties,
and would have thus been serious blow
to one OF the most promising and import
ant interests of great state. Through
promises Of eliminating section A, or so
amending IL as to exempt the tax
it provided. some good friends of the coal
mining interests were inveigled into sup
porting section 43. Then, with a somer-
sault that was astonishing in its agility,
the promise was broken and the double
taxation fastened upon the coal properties
so lar as that were possible at the hands
of the legislature. The governor now We
toes section AZ of the bill, which leaves
coal properties aSsesSable without dis
elimination, which is right and proper
The double taxation was unconstitutional
anyhow, and would have been resisted ia
the courts and defeated. The governors
veto removes the Injustice and saves the
state much expensive and fruitless litiga-
ton, For this the governor is entitled to
the gratitude OF the people.
