WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Tuesday, Nov lip. m.
The dulness Of the stock market to-day clearly
proved lack of courage on both sides. In spite
of favorable conditions holders were unwilling to
buy more, and the bear faction restrained from
selling by fear of natural consequences. 1t is
difficult to say which side committed the greater
fault and this doubt explained probably the
public apathy. There is supposed TO be a large
outside public with plethOric purses awaiting the
proper opportunity to buy stocks. Declines in
prices do not attract it, an extraordinary pros
perity in this country has no influence on 1t, and
sfnancial and commercial disturbance in Europe
falls 70 encourage it. AT the same time the
present holders of stocks cannot be frightened
into parting with them.
II was fortunate, perhaps. for both sides that
telegraphic communication was disturbed. The
famine in Russia, the revolution in Brazil and
the speculative troubles in Paris and Berlin may
be sOftened by time IL is possible that before
they are fully understood they may have lost
their bad influence, while the large crops and
other happy conditions in this country may have
stirred speculation in American railway securities
AT the moment it is of little consequence whether
railway earnings are large or dividend rates in
creased. For instance, the result of the
announcement that the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad had raised che rate OF it's
stagnation in the stock. The extreme fluctuations
in 1t, well in other leading shares, less
than 1-2 per cent, while the transactions in it
fell to nearly nominal proportions. There can be
no doubt that the action Of the directors was i'll
this instance conservative and wise The
sequent course of the STOCK evidence of the
narrowness of the market and the willingness of
inside interests 70 take advantage OF previous
knowledge. The recent strength of the stock, in
other words, was due TO intimate information
about the dividend while the formal announcement
brought only stagnation.
The lack of animation was general, however,
and the market said 10 be waiting set
Element Of the foreign financial uncertainties.
Europe was seller of securitess and to such an
extent that the large exports Of merchandise were
unable to affect the foreign exchange market.
The European markets were unsettled, but there
was no pinch in money, although credits not
unqueStioned. The closing firm, but the
final variations were generally small declines.
THE DAY IN TIE BOND MARKET.
There were mo transactions in Government
bonds, but the advances made yesterday
fully sustained. The closing quotations were as

RENT BY A LION.
A Tanner Killed in the Paris FRA
HippodrOme.

A terrible scene, by which well-known
lion tanner lost his life, was witnessed at the
Hippodrome in Paris, France, on a recent
day The spectacle Of Nero" is being pro,
pared at the Hippodrome, and one of the
features of the show, as proposed, is an at
tack by number Of lions upon wooden fig
ures so arranged in the arena to represent
human beings.
Seets, the lion tanner, had just concluded
the days drilling OF training of six lions for
this performance, and was driving them back
into their cages, when one of them suddenly
refused to re-enter his cage. Seets managed
to cage the remaining five lions. and then
turned his attention to the rebellious animal,
which had angrily taken refuge in neigh
boring passage.
The man armed himself with lance and
tried to dislodge the refractory lion, but in SO
doing he tripped and lost hold of his lance,
the weapon rolling several yards away from
him. Before the lion tanner could regain
possession of the lance the angry lion sprang
upon the unfortunate man, hurled him to
the floor, bit and tore him in a most horrible
manner. Seets's cries for help soon brought
another of the trainers to the scene. The
latter caught up the lance and CALAMITY at
tackled the lion.
Cowed by a wound inflicted, the lion re-
leased poor Seets and skunk into its cage.

Many of the bills enacted into laws apDro-
priated an unusually large amount of money.
and the expenditures authorized will exceed
those of any peace" Congress since the
foundation o. the Government. The total APP
preparations made by the Fiftieth Congress
were, during the first session. 1895, 337, sic, and
during the second session, 1922. 62G, 343, c. an
aggregate Of $S17, 965 $50, while the appro-
priations for the first session of the Fifty
first Congress were $3.50, 627, 697 and those
of the second session will probably bring the
total appropriations for the Congress to
billion of dollars.
A comparison of the work of the Congress
just closed with that of its immediate prede-
cessor makes the following exhibit:
Bills Introduced-In the House in the
Fifty-first Congress, IA, 033, against in the
joint resolutions, 279 an increase Of 10; SEN
ate bills, 5l29, against 1000, or an increase of
1929; joint resolutions 169. an increase of "a.
Bills Passed-By the House, 174S. of which
1913 became laws, and by the Senate 1905
total number of laws during the Fifty first
Congress 2166, as against 1924 in the Fiftieth
Congress, an increase of 1862. The Senate
also postponed indefinitely GIG Senate and
eighteen House bills, this being equivalent to
g. defeat. During the Fiftieth Congress 161
bills were vetoed, and during the Fifty-frst
Congress fourteen.
In addition to this work there were eight
cen contested election cases. The House
seated eight of the Republican contestants.

HIGH TYPE AFRICANS.
Congo Natives With the Features of
White Men

The Congo State has founded station in
Africa upon the left bank of the Mobangi
River, the great northern tributary of the
Congo, at Congo Rapids, 400 miles from the
mouth of the river. The station is in charge of
Lieut.. Hanolet, who writes some interesting
details of the people there. He says thatex-
cept for their black color many of them al
most resemble Europeans. He is able to de-
tect little trace of African features. Some
of them, he says, bear an astonishing resem,
blance to Europeans Of his acquaintance, and
many of them are very light in color.
He described the women as beautiful, an
adjective that is not often applied to the ma
tives of equatorial Africa. The husbands,
he says, are extremely jealous and do not
hesitate to cut off the heads and to eat the
bodies of their wives and daughters upon the
slightest infraction of the moral code.
Natives resembling these people of congo
have also been found in the basin of Sankuru
River, south of the Congo. whereMessrs. Kund
and Tappenbeck found people who, though
black, have nearly the same cast Of features
as Europeans, and are physically among the
finest specimens Of Africans
