mons smoke Resolution.

Tho Board OF Health decided yesterday to
take no action on the resolution passed recently
by the Board of Aldermen calling on the health
authorities to amend the sanitary code so as to
prohibit the burning OF bituminous coal in the
city factories. Chief Inspector Martin reported
that the present code covered the matter. and
that the evil was not AS great as tho Aldermen
had been induced 10 believe. He reported that
no use OF soft coal was intrequent. The smoke
burning on Saturdays in some factories of refuse
that could not be disposed OF in any other way,
IL was quickly disposed of, and the smoke did
not amount TO Il Nuisance. The board announced
that II would take action promptly whenever il
discovered that me use OF soft coal created q
nuisance in any neighbOrhOod.

TUESDAY. Aug. 10.
Without any assistance from London, In fact
with foreign operators maintaining a consistent
but logical attitude toward American securi-
ties, the local market recovered from the de-
cline Of yesterday afternoon and from a further
reaction In some stocks this morning and closed,
In the main, higher than yesterday. Although
the total transactions were 2OO,O 900 shares
less than yesterday, the dealings and the course
of prices on the Stock Exchange to-day were OK
traordinary, for, according to precedent, trans
actions OF the magnitude OF yesterday, which I'M
questlonably included heavy sales to realize
profits, are followed by reactions that extend be-
yond five or six hours OF business. 1t was no fault
of the professional element that the natural and
hence desirable reaction of yesterday afternoon
was not more protracted and more pronounced.
Operators who favor q moro extensive decline
than has yet taken place hammered tho entire
active list with a good deal of vigor, and appar-
emily succeeded In dislodging quito a little
stock held by spectators whose accounts
were weakly margined or who lacked tho
courage of their convictions. The attempts to
depress prices were, however, most effective in
attracting buying orders and in reaching such
orders which had boon placed in tho market by
prospective purchasers, who desired to take I'D
vantage of q reaction.
To-day's stock market demonstrated what has
often been demonstrated before. yet without
effect, upon many dealers in securities, that
precedent is not an infallible guide In Wall
street. That precedent is of value cannot be
denied, but the disadvantage that many
people seem to labor under is that they
are guided simply by fluctuations and the
volume of transactions and make no allow
ance whatever for the conditions influencing
the market, which are never identical. COndi-
tions to-day are in many respects similar to
those that existed In 1870. The reputation Of
silver last fall may be regarded as quite
as important an event as the rcsump-
tion OF specie payments. for it checked
a tendency toward n suspension OF those
payments. Tho United States enjoys the same
position toward the controlling breadstuff mar
kets of the world that it did eighteen years
ago. Here the analogy ceases. This country
is richer by many millions OF dollars than it
was in 1879, and 1t has absorbed, during
the last six or seven years, with its earn
ings and savings, hundreds OF millions OF
its own securities that Europe purchased
during a much longer period and was compelled

Pitts Last Hour.

On entering his house at Putney. ON
his return from Bath. where he had
unsuccessfully sought a return to
health. Pitt observed a map of Europe
which had been drawn down from the
wall; he thereupon turned to his
niece. and mournfully said: Roll up
the map, 1t will not be wanted these
ten years. "-Stanhope: Life, chap. 4S.
This was Immediately after the battle
of Austerlitz. December 2. 1905, by
which the Austrian and Russian arm
les were crushed. and the collation. of
those powers with England against
Napoleon destroyed. Only a month
before Pitt had said. in reply to toast
to his health at GuiSlhall: England
has saved herself by her own exertions
and will. as l trust. save Europe by
her example" The Hon. Jas. H. STAN
hope, who was present at the death Of
Pitt. his relative. and made . state
ment of his last moments. says that
the dying statesman uttered these
words in a clearer voice than usual:
"Oh, my country! how love my coun-
try!" and never spoke again.

GEN. BOOTHS COLONY.
1T WILL LocArs IN COLORADO
The ARkansss Valley 70 Ne TIE scsns
Of the F1fss Attempt BY the SAL
walton Army to Aid the Industrious
Poor to Obtain Homes.

New York, Aug. 27.-The Tribune
says the colonization scheme proposed
by Commander Booth-Tucker Of the
Salvation Army has assumed tangible
shape and its originator Is sanguine Of
success.
1t was in order to consult with Gem
eral Booth about the scheme that Com
mander BoOth-Tucker made his recent
flying visit to London, and aimee his re-
turn he has been busy with. plans and
estimates for the proposed colony.
Commander Booth Tucker to-day out
lined the scheme NO far as 1t has at
present been formulated.
The place for the colony has already
been practically determined. The COM
mander Is receiving dozens of letters
daily from land agents and others all
over the country, asking him to consid-
err the advantages OF their respective
localities, but 1t is almost certain the
Arkansas valley in Colorado. will be
the site of the first colony A few
weeks ago Mr.. Booth-Tucker. on invi-
tation of the Santa Fe railroad, inspect
ed the country along the line, in COM
pany with the land commissioner and
Industrial commissioner of the railroad
What he saw caused his to believe
the Arkansas valley would be the most
suitable place he could find. He de-
clared the climate was temperate, the
soil rich, and there was an abundance
Of fertilizing water Capital had al
ready provided irrigation works and a
number of small colonies had already
been established. so the proposed col
ony would not be merely an expert
ment. On small farms of five or ten
acres families were already subsisting
comfortably. and the purchase money
from $50 to 800 an acre, had in some
cases been paid In two years.
Speaking of the terms under which
the cOlonists would receive the land
and of the class he desired to assist,
Commander Booth-Tucker laid special
stress on the fact that the fiotsam and
jetsam of society would not be en-
couraged to emigrate to the colony,
nor would small capitalists. 1t was the
man and wife and family, who were
unable to obtain a living I'm the city
whom 1t was desired to benefit. Com
mander BOoth-Tucker believes that for
$5,OOO,OO0 10000 families can be es-
tablished on 100000 acres OF land
and the colony would become self-sup-
porting In a few years. He said Gen
eral Booth gave the scheme his hearty
approval and many rich men In this
country had already promised to aid
the colony.

Luigi and Party
Victoria. h. c., Aug. 26.--The expedi-
tiOn Of Prince Luigi of Savoy to the
summit Of Mount st. Elias has deter
mined two facts Of prime Importance
to the scientific world. 1t has fixed
once for all the altitude Of Mount st.
Elias at 1920 feet. The figures are
subject only to such slight corrections
ms may change the total to thirty or
forty feet either way. The expedi-
tion has also answered definitely and
in the negative the question so long
asked by scientists as to whether or not
st. Elias was at one time n great vol
cano.
There is not the slightest indication
of volcanic action anywhere. A new
glacier was discovered by the explor-
ers from the eminence Of Mount ST.
and Great Logan. 1t takes It's course
apparently to the sea, and was named
by the prince Colombo"
The route was absolutely unknown.
Advancing up these glaciers and mo-
raines 1t took thirty-nine days, or until
July 4, on which the prince declared
for the entire party general holiday.
At Pinnacle Pass was found the first
evidence of Russell's expedition in 1901
in the sape of tent bottom and a sim
gle rusty fork. Finally the foot of the
divide connecting Mount st. Elias and
Mount Newton was reached with "A
supply of provisions to last twelve
days. The elevation was 5000 feet.
The Americans In the party raised
the stars and stripes over camp in the
great hills and Prince Luigi and his
party cheered again and again In honor
Of the flag.
At O'Clock in the morning of July
81 they commenced the ascent OF the
great mountain. For eleven hours the
upward climb was made, and exactly
five minutes before IL O'Clock the sum-
NIT of st. Elias was beneath the feet
of the explorers.
When they reached the topmost peak
there was neither wind nor fog, and the
thermometer was only 20 below freez-
ing. The prince planted the Italian
flag on the tOpmost peak and photo
graphed 1t. He then cached the italian
and American flags. The prince does
not consider the ascent difficult. except
for the last few hundred feet, which Is
a solid mass Of ice.
