m THE STOCK MARKET.
Its Condition as Reviewed By Brad
Street's

New York, Aug. 1S.-Bradstreet's review
Of the stock market will say tomorrow:
After little hesitation at the beginning
of the week, the market has broadened
and advanced on an enormous volume of
transactions. Public buying of an ag-
gressive kind has absorbed all offerings
and the leading financial and speculative
interests have evidently lent their aid to
the movement. A feature has been the
attention paid to low priced and neglected
securities, many stocks of this class ad-
vancing merely in sympathy with the
general movement of prices. The ad-
vance in grain and confirmation of pre-
vious estimates of Europe's requirements
the ground with the drop in exchange
and expectations of large gold imports,
are among the leading factors in sustain
ing the decided bullish sentiments. The
street is also Influenced by the increasing
returns of railroad earnings all over the
country. as well as by the accounts of The
volume which railroad earnings are as
Stunning. The movement has not been
without dangers of over purchasing and
the creation of weak cables. A moderate
selling movement on Friday, which was,
however. steadied by the leading bull in
terests before it had gone very far. was
therefore looked on with some Satisfac-
ton.

SAYS the st. Louis Republic: WilliaIa
scharnweber, a St. Louis inventor, has

He has associated with himself a

Thus far it has been necessary for
the miners TO build fires on the frozen

American owners of tobacco; proof that
contracts for delivery of the tobacco

of the pro9libitory rule; dates of the
various steps in the transaction and
explanations of the reasons why the
tobacco had not been shipped before.
In some cases there has been consider

NO RECIPROCITY.
America and Canada Will Not Come
ToGether

Washington, Aug. 13.-The postoffice
department has written the postal
authorities of Canada concerning CO.
operation in carrying the mails to the
Klondike country, but there is no hope
of being able to reach an adjustment,
as the American contractor may not
accept a modification of his contract
The proposition made is that the two
governments should cooperate and
arrange for an interchange of mail at
Circle City and Dawson City, the
United States TO maintain a service
once a month and Canada the same.
This would give two mails every month.
No reply has been received from the
Canadian government and even if it
was favorable arrangements must be
made with the contractor who carries
mail to Circle City TO carry the mail
destined for Dawson City in Canada.
His representative in Washington has
intimated that he will not care TO
modify his contract and indicates that
in case there is TO be an increase in
the service the contractor should have
considerable more compensation. The
postoffice department cannot modify
the contract and impose more labor on
the contractor without his consent. 1t
is recognized at the department that
the arrangement must be d mutual
agreement not only with the Canadian
government but with the Alaskan con-
tractor.

How Mines Are Worked In Cold
Weather In Siberia.

Engineering Magazine: In mining Tor
gold in Siberia, the ground is kePt clear
of snow, so as to permit the cold to pen
citrate as deeply as possible, after Waicn
the surface is thawed 10y fires until a
shallow layer of earth can be removed
The freezing is then allowed TO proceed
and the felawing operations are repeated
and this is continued as long as tine cold
weather. lasts. In this way, through the
long Siberian winters, open excavations
are made to the gold bearing rocks, the
depth obtained being from . TO 70 teels
according to the duration of the cold
season.
Artificial cold for the purpose of exca-
walton was first used by PoeIsch in 1888
BY his well known process of cold brine
through a series of buried pipes, the most
difficult quick sand may be made hard
enough to be excavated ike rock.
Among the important applications or
the freezing process are noted the sinking
of the shafts for the cylinders OF the ny
draulic elevator for the canal lint at Les
Fontinettes and the construction OF the
tunnel ar Stockholm. The latter work
was executed entirely by the Introduction
of cold air into the working chamber at
the head of the tunnel, the cold prevent

One of the Most Advantageous
Points For Coaling In the Entire
Pacific ocean-With Hawaii In
Our Possession, Our Line of De-
tense Could Be Extended 1000
Miles From the Pacific Coast.


Washington, Aug. 13.-"From a mill
tary as well as a commercial point OF
view" said Director Smith of the Blu
reau of American Republics, ''the Ha-
waiian Islands, owing to their Ioca-
tion, are of great Importance. Hawaii
may be said to lie about one-third of
the distance from San Francisco to
japanese and Chinese ports, from San
Francisco, from ports of British Co.
lun1bia to Australia and British India.
and ABOUT half way from the islands
of Panama to Yokohama and Hong
Kong The construction of a ship ca
nal across the isthmus would extend
this geographical relation to the ports
Of the Gulf of Mexico and of the At
lantic seaboard of North and South
America. A glance at the map will at
once make clear the fact that no other
point in the north Pacific has such a
dominating relation to the trade be-
tween America and Asia as a base of
coal and a depot of supplies for YES
sells.
From a naval standpoint, Hawaii is
the greatest point of the Pacific. Ha-
wall would present to the maratime
power possessing it the most advan-
tageous point for coaling. A battle
ship or cruiser starting from an Asiatic
or Australian port with the view Of
operating along the coast of either
North America, or South America. would
be unable to act effectively for any
length of time at the end of so long a
voyage unless she were able to refill
her bunkers at some point on the way
''On the other hand, if the United
States possessed Hawaii she would be
able to advance her line of defense 1000
miles from the Pacific coast and with
fortified harbor and a strong fleet at
Honolulu, would be in a position to
conduct either defensive or offensive
operations in the north Pacific to a
greater advantage than any other
