Review, Received Daily by Pu1len, Crock

er g. Co.
NEW YORK. Nov. IT,
There was an evident disposition to rally in
the early market to-day and some sharp recov-
cries were made, but an outbreak of selling in
Gen Electric stayed the recovery. In spite of
the unfortunate effect of the break in this stock
the list closes better than last night, and the
bears showed no confidence in attacks on the
standard shares. The improvement was start
ed by rumors of a possible government bond is
sue which grew out of the unexpected depart
ure of Asst Treasurer Jordan for Europe
There is no means Of proving that this visit
possesses significance, while Secy Carlisle, when
he recently conferred with New York bankers,
is understood to have confessed his indisposi-
ton to do anything withoutthe authority of Con-
gress. The question of a government bond issue
is one OF the many problems pressing Congress
for solution and it is the uncertainty OF nation
al legislation which tends to repress DISPOSE
ton to make new ventures an important
scale. We are by no means prepared to advise
any abandonment of conservatism in specula-
tive operations, because it is morally certain
that the railroad returns will afford little en-
couragement for some time. 49,
General business revives but slowly and there
will be disposition to await the outcome of
mercantile settlements at the close of the year,
and the unfolding of national policies when
Congress assemblies. But the force of the pres
emit bear arguments upon values appears to be
spent, holders are clinging tenaciously to their
stocks, a large shortinteresti is undoubtedly in
existence and there can be no serious decline
In the absence of fresh liquidation. While we
see no indications of permanent change in the
character of the market, we are inclined to look
for rally on the shorts should there be no un-
favorable developments.

Western Kansas world., 1893-07-22

A YEAR ago the United States gov
ernment caused some experiments to
be made in making rain fall by cxplod-
ing dynamite in the air. 1t was be-
lieved that the disturbances in the
upper atmosphere were the direct
cause of the showers which often fol-
lowed these experiments. The same
test was made in Kansas the other day.
By an arrangement made several days
before, a lot of powder was burned in
cannon and anvils in the principal
towns of eight counties surrounding
Wichita. The result was most salts
factory. After an hour or two of con-
tinuous firing clouds began to gather,
and soon rain commenced falling, and
continued for several hours. The ben
eft to growing crops was very great,
and the cost of the bombardment was
only very small part of the sum
which the people Of those counties will
realize from the rain.

killed at a railroad crossing. A few
months after the terrible bereavement
the husband, who had sued the COM
pany for five thousand dollars dam
ages, came into the office and accepted
a compromise of five hundred dollars.
AS he stuffed the wad of bills into his
pocket he turned to the lawyer and
cheerily remarked: "Vell, dots not so
bad, after all. I've got fife hundret
tollar, and goot teal better wife as I

1T is the opinion of men familiar with
the character of the Navajo Indians
that war with them will prove to be
a serious business for the government
The tribe numbers about thirty thou
sand, of whom nine thousand are fight
ing warriors. The reservation where
they are intrenched is rough and diff
cult and contains many passes where,
according to one authority, ''two In
dians can hold their ground against
the entire United States army" The
Navajoes have trained their ponies to
go without water for two days, if
necessary. The whole tribe is armed
with the most approved repeating
rifles, and the bucks have been storing
ammunition for years in anticipation
of trouble. The Navajoes have per-
feet system of signals and scouts and
are always informed hours in advance
of the movements Of troops sent against
them

THE phrase freedom of the city, is
thus explained: In olden times each
trade in European city formed a
close corporation, and no person could
carry on business without belonging
to the particular guild or association
of those in the same trade. AS rule,
man, to become member of guild,
had to serve seven years as an appren-
tice, several years as a journeyman,
and finally he was admitted to the
craft, became master and gained the
freedom of his trade. AS special
honor, the mayor of the town, with the
heads of the guilds, would confer the
freedom of the city upon a distin-
guished guest. It was purely an hon
or. The guild system never was so
powerful here as abroad; but as the
comforting of the freedom of city
was the highest honor which city, as
a city, could bestow, we have retained
the custom of giving that freedom
from time to time.
