The japanese club. the Nippon, is di-
rectly opposite, at No. 227 West
Twenty-ffth street. OF late Mat
sada has been without money,
but his friends at the club
saw that he did not want for anything.
He has been in the habit of strOlling
about West Twenty-fifth street. Satur-
day afternoon he walked out, but was
too weak TO 20 far. He crossed over to
the club rooms and sat down in char

How the Notorious Ed Stokes
Enjoys Life at Saratoga---He
Dearly Loves Attention.
Edward s. Stokes, the notorious pro-
prIetor of the Hoffman house. in New
York city, is attracting great deal of
attention at the present time in Sara
tOga, writes correspondent OF the
Kansas City Star from that famous
American watering place. Stokes
mother and sister have an elegant cot
tage there, and he lives with them most
of the time His hair and musLache are
now nearly white. He is very at
tractive looking man, and dresses with
extreme taste. Few men in New York
have such large tailorS' bills.
Stokes lives to attract attention to
himself, and no man loves notorlety
more than he. Considering his career,
it may be hard for those who do not
know the man to understand why he
should. Everywhere he goes he is point
ed at as 1.-The man who killed Jim Fisk"
Nor is it an InfreQuent thing for this
remark to reach his ears. Stokes is not
a popular man, and, unless a person is
rich, or occupies position of power,
Stokes does not try to win his friend
ship. His manners are extremely chilly.
except with those whose acquaintance
ne thinks can be of benefit to him.
Let United States senator, for instance,
or governor or millionaire be intro
duced to Stokes. and he will at once be-
come enthusiastic in his cOrdiality, and,
watching, one. would think he was a
man of a most atfectiOnate disposition.
1t must be admitted, though, that he has
friends, and those that he has are very
loyal to him.
Nothing delights Stokes so much as to
be seen in company with men of lntiu-
ence except to read in the newspapers
that he had entertained either at din
ner or on board of his yacht men of that
character. Just before he went TO Sar-
atoga he had Gov. Hill his guest week
on board his yacht. Stokes wants to be
known as a great politician. not that he
expects to run for any office, for he
knows that he could not be elected to
anything, but he wants to be sort of a
Warwick. He is a power in the coun-
ellis of Tammany hall, and Boss Croker
and Mayor Grant and Gov. Hill are his
boon companions.
Stokes is a magnificent hOrseman and
he has horse with him how which is
the finest by all odds in Saratoga The
animal is a black Kentucky charger and
cost $1,000. He may be seen on the back
of this beautiful animal at all times OF

RUSSIAN SEAL CATCHING.
1t Goes on MerriIy Regardless of
Agreements.


Agreements.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg states that, according to
recent Russian adyiees from Eastern
Siberia, the Russian sealerS have already
captured considerable quantity of
skins in the waters controlled by the
Russian government, and there is no
apparent cessation in their operations.
The authorities are keeping keen look
out for trespassers in the Russian
jurisdiction, and so far several have
been chased, but none captured. The
sealing season has been excellent,
10 dIminution in the number of seals
being apparent. The Russians appar
emily feel under no obligations as to
any agreement between Great Britain,
and it is rumored on semi-Official au-
thOrity that no confidence is placed by
the czar's representative in Eastern
Siberia in the good faith of the Ameri-
can sealing company, which, they claim,
is taking advantage of the proylso allow
ing them to capture certain number of
seals to take all the seals they can get.

backed by Bonanza King Mackay's mill
ions, with the expectation of becoming
one of the great financierS of the country.
He promoted several lines of telegraph
and talked of running Jay Gould and
his Western Union out of business. But
Jay didn't down worth cent, and in a
short time Mr.. Mackay took these tele-
graph lines out of Stokes control. A
year ago Mackay sued him, and since
then they have been bitter enemies.
Friends of Mackay say that the only
disagreement that was ever between
the bonanza king and his wife was Mis-.
Mackay's strong disapproval of her
husbands having any relation with
Mr.. Stokes. She never met Stokes,
but intuitively disllked him. Short
ly after Stokes got out Of the
penitentiary he went out to the coast,
and there became acquainted with the
bonanza king. He told Mackay his story
and the big-hearted millionaire felt
sorry for him and determined to help
him. He is said to have lent him the
money with which he returned to New
York and purchased the Hoffman
house.
Stokes mother is a beautiful old lady.
and Stokes is certainly very good to her
and also to his sister.
He is very unhappy looking man.
He cannot bear to be alone. They tell
stories in New Iork about how he
sleeps with the gas burning at full blaze
in the room and that he always has his
valet in reach of him. Persons EN-
ployed in the Hoffman house say, how
ever, that these stories are pure inven-
tiOns.

Mr.. Morgan Credited With
Being Something of a

But Several People Are Still

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-A bull combi
nation has done much more in the way
OF lifting the market during the week
than seemed possible ten days ago. 1t
is all professional, of course, but that
goes for little. Public support may or
may not come in later. The upward
movement was preceded by another
and severe break in Union Pacific,
which carried the price down to 81, be-
ing the lowest figure the stock had
been quoted at since 1884. Hitches
in the syndicate scheme were
talked of. Later Oh rally was reported
that everything had been arranged
aud the plan would be published Tues
day next. 1t looked as if the same
crowd that broke the stock to 81 rallied
it and the rest of the market. 1t evil
IDENTIFY bought as low as possible and
expects to unload at round profit.
Such an operation, if succeSSful-and it
promises to be so-would bring greater
gains than the commissions to be had
for lending the company the money
it needs. The stock bought at the
low figures can be marketed above 40 if
the general market be kept strong. The
last buyers will get left, but some one
must get left now and then in Wall
street. Provided a fair-Sized bull move
ment can be maintained. people Will
not stop to reflect thai the operations of
the syndicate are not for the benefit
of the stockholder, but to help
the creditors of the company.
The cost of their help will
certainly not be small, and if there is
now anything good still left for the
shares one may be sure the syndicate
will have safely pocketed it by the time
it's contract has run out. At this mo
ment, however. is heard nothing but the
philanthropy of the financiers and the
saving of the property, which ought to
be good for at least five points further
advance in the stock.

this may have been due to efforts to get

Reaction in the South.
There is less bullish feeling on South
ern properties than on others, because
of the low price of cotton and the evil
dent reaction the South is experiencing
from its recent booming times. The
strength of st. Paul continues TO sur
prise the street in view Of its being a
non-dividend payer and showing sur
plus for the year ending June last of
about IL per cent OH the common
stock. The answer given is that
the time when it will again become
a dividend payer is being discounted
- which it evidently is. 1t may
also be said that all the prosperity
which the crops are TO give the chief
Western roads is being discounted.
How far the present bull combination
can carry the market neither they nor
any one else can tell. They have GER
tainly engineered a very rapid rise.
which so far is purely professional and
mainly on the short interest. ConSe-
quently the market is narrow. The
real test will come when the snort
interest has been eliminated and
some advance takes place III
money rates. If the market broad
ems then, even without much
advance, it can be reckoned that it is
getting public support, and further adj
vance can be calculated upon with GER
tainty. But such closing as to-day
was palpable manipulation. and the
pace was entirely too fast to last.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-Opposite the

Salisbury street, which, with Cecil
street close by, occupies the site of Sal

called The Cecil family has long since
outgrown the manner of living when in
town which was considered as suitable
to a great man at the end of the six
teenth century, when Sir Robert -four
ished. He may be called the founder OF
the family, although his ancestry was a
long and honorable one. He was
created Earl of Salisbury in
1905, and survived the honor
seven years. The seventh earl
was promoted to a marquisate, but
