New York, Dec. 29-The trades action at
the Stock Exchange outside of the bond de-
partment shows a further decrease to-day
the sales footing up 10000 shares against
$4,000 shares yesterday. The shorts were
more inclined to even up their trades. in view
OF the coming holidays, and this, with some
purchases for the long account, impaired a
distinctly better tone to the market At the
opening Louisville and Nashville and General
Electric were strong and higher while the
general list was weak under the leadership of
Atchison, Manhattan and ST. Paul which de-
clined MQ1M per cent Atchison was de
pressed on the filing OF the application for the
appointment OF receivers, in which it is ad-
mitted that the company has been danger
ously near insolvency for a year past and
that its floating debt is nearly S6O00,0OO. The
criticisms OF the English press regarding the
statements put out from time 10 time
by insiders was mol relished by holders

II the company is to be reorganiZed at an
early date. Manhattan fell ~ to 120l5 on the
stories that movement was on foot TO have
the Legislature reduce the fare to cents.
When the sellers got through the stock
quickly rose to 1924. The general market,
after the opening. displayed more strength
than for some days past. All the leading
issues commanded a fair-sized premium for
use, and this in itself was sufficient to cause
the smaller bears to run to cover. Under this
process an advance of 412L per cent. was
established. Louisville and Nashville General
Electric, Chicago Gas, Whisky Western
Union and Missouri Pacific made the largest
gains. Southern and Central Pacific stocks
were quiet, the announcement of the modfi-
cation OF the lease Of the latter to the former,
whereby the latter will have to depend on its
own earnings for dividends having been
fully discounted. The market closed irm at
an advance Of 1401S per cent for the day.

WASHINGTON. Sent 1o-No little surprise Is
felt among Democrats here who are sincerely
for tariff for revenue only that Mr. Wilson's
Committee OF Ways and Means should be
spending so much time In doing what. II 1t
means anything. means simply to find out
what degree of protection certain articles will
stand. and how to franc tariff bill with pro-
lection rs its main object. AS yet. few persons
have been heard before the ommi ttes to i'm
part expert information how to lay duties to
obtain revenue regardless Of protection The
method OF the committee they say appears to
be that OF the man who undertook to see how
near he could como to shooting a pipe out OF
another's mouth and do him no harm. Tho
result was he killed. tho man and missed tho
pipe Ohio Democrats. who are carrying on
an election fight for a tariff for revenue only,
loudly complain that this course Is knocking
the bottom out OF their canvass. and may beat
Neal. whose election Is now probable If they
can have the help OF the Administration.

The Stockbridge Burglar.

One Of the most remarkable burglars in
criminal annals has been terrifying and
fascinating the Massachusetts village OF
Stockbridge for nearly year past. and
moro especially during the last three
months.
Stockbridge Is very beautiful village
lying in valley among the Berkshire Hills.
about six miles from Lenox. the autumn
seat Of fashion. 1t contains a permanent
population Of quiet and cultivated people.
and in the summer it has large number OF
transient residents Of the same general
sort. Its main street has the reputation Of
being the prettiest village street in all
Massachusetts,. with its old elms and its
roadside kept like gentleman's lawn.
Along 1T and on the hills overlooking it ara
many fine residences. conspicuous among
which are those of the Hon. DAVID DUDLEY
FIELD. Mr.. JOSEPH II. CHoATE. Mr.. CHARLES
F. SoUTHMAYD. and Mr.. CHARLES BUTLER.
all New York lawyers of distinction. 1t Ia
remarkable also for its beautiful Episcopal
church and for large Congregational
church Of the best typo OF the old New Eng
land ecclesiastical architecture.
Nowhere is there Ii more pious and deco
rous village than Stockbridge. and more
refined. Even this burglar Is described by
the women who encountered him under the
unpleasant circumstances inseparable from
the pursuit OF his profession. as suave.
considerable, fascinating. intelligent. and
cultivated man. His manners are 80 charm
ing and his address 80 engaging that one
OF the women robbed by him at the point OF
a pistol declares that she should dislike
to know he WAS taken up" His voice was
low, musical, soothing. mesmerlc In its

his fine feelings. 1t Is reported that when
Mrs. SWAN requested him not to steal

Our Canadian friends are still talking
OF the seals. but their stories do not hang
together. Here is the Hon. c. II. UPPER. who
has been knighted for his services In the
Behrlng Sea arbitration. predicting that next
years catch OF British vessels will be the
largest In the history Of pelagio sealing"
And on the very day that he was prophesying
this at Ottawa. the sealers at Victoria were
appointing q committee to set forth In me-
mortal that the Paris regulations had ruined
their industry. SO that they would like to have
the British Government buy their vessels and

The Queen and MIR. Gladstone.

This Is an extraordinary report which
comes to us from London that Queen VIC
TORIA Is inclined to make the rejection Of
home rule by the Lords the ground for
forcing upon Mr.. GLADSTONE the alterna-
tive of appealing immediately to the cleo
tors. or OF resigning the post OF Prime
Minister. We mentioned come time ago
that such Il course had been advocated In
communication to the London Times but
that it had been secuted by the Spectator,
the most sobcr-minded and long -headed Of
the Unionist newspapers. 1t seemed in
credible that the Tory leaders would in
their hatred OF Ireland seek to involve
their sovereign In a political dispute. and
compel her to bear the brunt of RESPONSE
bility which may prove fatal to hor
dynasty. Yet it is just this act of desperate
folly which. unless our London correspond
ont Ia mjsinformed. tho Queen has been
nearly persuaded to commit.
The first Of the alternative courses said
to be contemplated by the sovereign will OF
course be rejected by Mr.. GLADSTONE. He
will not recognize the claim OF body OF
hereditary legislators to prescribe the time
for dlssolying Parliament to Prime Min
lister representing the elected spokesman OF

form of advising. which in fact Is tanta-
mount to commanding. the fgurehead OF the
monarchy to order new general election.
when In his Judgment the interests of the
United Kingdom require 1T. and not one
hour earlier. Not once since the accession
OF the house Of Hanover has an adverse
vote In the Lords been regarded as 80 far
equivalent to vote OF want o; confidence
Ii the Commons as to call for the resignation
OF Ministers. Such opposition on the part OF
the peers has been dealt with in various
ways; sometimes by sending up the
Same bill second time from the same
House OF Commons: sometimes by drop
ping the bill: sometimes by proposing a
committee OF conference; sometimes by
embodying the substance of the bill In q
royal warrant. as In the case OF the aboli-
tion OF purchase in the army; sometimes
by quelling resistance with threat to
create new peers. Never since TIA has the
fact that the upper House chose to array
Itself against the will Of the peoples repre-
sentatives been supposed to necessltate
an appeal to the electors. Should Mr.. |

The Shanghai story of the London Stand
ard that "Viceroy CHANG is reported to have
addressed a petition to the throne. openly ad-
vocating the determination OF foreigners In
China" in order to prevent Its partition
among European powers. Is very queer. This
statesman should know that an attempt to
exterminate foreigners would be the ehort-
est road to that smashing OF China and divis-
ion Of its fragments which his alleged advice
aims to ward of.
So far from DISCRIMINATING foreigners. the
Chinese Government has hitherto been prompt

Of the amount was returned as not due. In
1870 tho Tien-Tsin riot. in 1874 the Shanghai
riot. and in later years other outrages. such.
for example. as that OF Chin Kiang. about 1885,
were followed by full indemnities for the dam
age inflicted. European nations have had
similar experiences. These facts do not show
necessarily any love for foreigners. but they
do bear witness to an appreciation Of tho
danger OF maltreating them. Possibly. how.
ever. any determination which the Viceroy
might counsel would mean only peaceful ex-
clusion. But the astute diplomat must know
very well that this policy might be hardly less
fatal than sanguinary crusade against for
eigners Perhaps he has only advised specific
retaliation for the GEARY act.

New Phases Of Great African Tribe.

| What mighty changes the white man is
making all over the face OF Africa! Mil
lions OF natives feel the impulse. for good
or i'll. Of the strange influence; but they do
not know yet the tremendous consequences
! in which the web Of new conditions will in
| volve them.
| Ten years ago the most dreaded tribe OF
equatorial Africa were the Nasal. Their
home is west and northwest Of Mount
Kilima-N jaro. but their murderous raids
covered vast area from the sea far in
land to the springs that feed Victoria
Nyanza and the Nile. No Swahili trading
caravan. less than thousand strong. dared
venture among them, No missionary risked
his life within their borders. No explorer
fathomed the geographic secrets Of their
land. No cattle-breeding tribe. for hun
dreds Of miles around was safe from their
resstlcss forays; and when JOSEPH THoM-
son at last passed unscathed through Nasal
Land to the great lake. the achievement
Won him enduring fame.
All this is now changed. Even the Swa-
hill porters have lost much Of their terror
before the once dreaded Nasal warrior. Eng
lish fortified posts are planted in his land.
Little missionary bands have safely crossed
the lofty plateau where his women and
children tend their herds. The apparition
OF Ell Moran. in his war plumes. out for q
cattle raid. Is no longer troubling native viii
layers hundreds Of miles from Nasal Land
Capt. PRINGLE Of the Victoria Nyanza
railroad survey tells us that the Nasal are
no longer arrogant in their dealings with
Europeans. They regard the white man
with respect. They ask for presents. but
do not demand tribute. They treat visitors
courteously. do not demand the payment
Of toll from every passing caravan. and
have ceased to force their way into the
white mans tent and order him to take off
his boots and show his toes.
Perhaps their recent misfortunes. not less
than the display Of European power have
modified the arrogance and improved the
behavior OF the Nasal. Once they would
eat nothing but beef or mutton. But
their countless herds have been nearly
annihilated by the cattle plague that has
swept across Africa, and even the warriors
have been compelled to subsist on the de-
spised -four OF the neighboring agricultural
tribes. Scarcity OF food has done something
to lessen their pride and make them more
amenable to reason.
Capt. PRINGLE says the Nasal are now
willing to make treaties with the Europeans
and 1t Is believed they would abide by them.
II they treat them properly. the British
may yet turn the remarkable discipline and
solderly qualities Of this powerful tribe to
good account.
