pain and retiring to givo his comrades
II chance. by tho end OF u minute
there were but two or three dogs on
the active list, and with final whoop
the Lapp frightened them into retir-
ing to respectful distance. The
Lapp stepped aside and released the
reindeers' heads; In an instant they
were ON their feet. He leaped into
the sled once more and in few sec
onds only cloud OF snow flying into
the mir told where he had gone"
In case the dogs pluck up spirit for
n pursuit after first failure, the Lapp
repeats the process OF disposing OF ais
foes until enough have been killed or
wounded to put nm end to further at
tacks. In tho Port Clarence region
only one dog was killed, though the
Eskimo village looked for while like
hospital for wounded dogs. The
Lapps We're always victorious, aud no
reindeer were killed. After II round
of battles and proper amount of
slashed skins had taught the dogs that
reindeer were private property there
was no more trouble. The dogs around
the present reindeer station pay no
further attention to them. As the
reindeer enlarge their circle to reach
other villages, however, the process
of education has to be repeated. It
will take some years and Il good many
sore hides to teach the canine popula-
tion of Aluska that there is close
season for reindeer.
The herds are safe from the natives.
The only reindeer meat that has gone
down their throats has come from q
number Of reindeer that died from
sickness. The Eskimo apprentices, not
being particular about such trihes as
the cause OF death, promptly appropri.
ated the flesh and all else that was
chewable about the deceased deer, and
made holiday feast. Five reindeer
were killed for food for the whites and
the Lapps in the first winter. The
others Jared well.
The danger OF lack of food melted
away on the test. There is plenty for
the increase OF centuries. The troubles
that come from unframed herdeIs is
being gradually lessened. The Eski-
mos are skillful enough, but they learn
from the Lapps. Milking, however,
was trick that the Eskimos had some
difficulty in acquiring. Before the
Lapps came some experiments had
been made, and the first time that the
Lapps attempted to begin the opera
tion on COW she started like q flash,
leaped the fence, knocked down a
herder and ran away. On inquiry il
was learned that the customary way
of milking had been to lasso the Sc
lected COW, throw her down and while
three men held her on the ground the
fourth drew the milk. The cows had
apparently acquired prejudice against
the operation, and it took nearlya veal
to convince them that milking was {
harmless, pleasant exercise in no way

thought the time had come for fresh
meat and gave chase. Before the
Lnpp knew what was coming, sled and
reindeer were surrounded and tho
dogs were leaping and barking before
tho frightened creatures. The Lapp
gave series of shouts that frightened
the dogs for moment. Then in the
moment OF respite he leaped from the
slod, ran to the heads OF the deer and
threw them with their backs on the
ground. Then straddling them and
holding their heads erect with his left
hand he drew his great knife in his
right. The reindeer could not rise.
In their position they could hardly
struggle, and tho Lapp was ready for
battle. He had hardly got into posi-
tion, though the operation had taken
but moment, when tho dogs we're on

With one sweep the Lapp cut ut the
first two dogs. There was wild howl
of pain, dripping OF blood and the
two leaders lost interest in the fight.
The other dogs were nothing daunted
by the fate ofthe first and still pressed
forward. The Lapp swung his knife
back and forth with loud cries, and at
every swing some dog was yelping with

the reindeer, but are easier to get than
to feed. So when the reindeer we're
brought to the Teller Reindeer Sta.
tiou at Port Clarence the Eskimo dogs
made an attack on the herd. They
were out for game and had to be driven
off again and again before they learned
the lesson that it was not good to at
tack the herd. Then they gave their
attention to the sled deer that were
kept ahout the station for hauling.
For time even the presence OF men
failed to restrain them. One or two
deer driven by themselves were too
tempting, and for weeks they were
liable to lie assailed by bowling pack

PRESIDENT MELLEN ACCEPTS.


 c. S. Mellen, second vice president of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford road, who was elected president of the Northern Pacific Thursday. in an interview yesterday stated that he would accept the position. The ap- pointment dates from September 1 next and President Mellen will cease his connection with the Consolidated on that date. He will leave for St. Paul September 6. President Clark, who is in Europe was notified of Mr. Mellen's resigna- tion and will return at once.
 MT. Mellen said: q shall sever my connection with the Consolidated road next week, and shall put my hand to the new plough on September 1. My headuuarters will be at St. Paul, Minn The Northern Pacific has been thor oughly reorganized, and is in the hands of the J. Pierpont Morgan com- pany.
 Tt is a source of poignant regret to me in many ways to sever my connec- ton with the associations which have been so pleasant since I came here in 1S93 The position I am now giving up is what is known in railroad parlance as a soft snap. Where I am about to go I fully realize there is no bed of roses But, to my mind, the western railroad world opens up wider range of opportunities and possibilities than is presented here in the east, and I feel that my past experience with the Union Pacific road will be of great advantage to me"

Young Hamiltons Goaded to Play
 Again and Are Victorious.
 Although the team had practically disbanded for the season owing to the fact that a majority of the nine had secured "jobs," the Young Hamiltons were goaded into playing a game with the Young Starlights yesterday. The latter said that the Young Hamiltons were afraid to play any more games be- cause they feared their long record of victories would be sullied by a defeat After diplomacy failed to convince the challengers that it was only owing to the return of prosperity that the Young Hamiltons could not spare time to play the game as they had earlier in the sea- son when they suffered from ennui and enforced idleness, the captain called out his loyal and undefeated colts" and yesterday afternoon vindicated his claims The score was to 5, and no doubt about it, either, in favor of the Young Hamiltons. In the points for the winners were King and Mott, while De- vine and Purcell batted we'll but vainly for the vanquished. Max Stout gave unusually good satisfaction as umpire. It was suggested that that was largely owing to his name and powers. Following are the teams: Young Hamiltons-W. Martin, T. Leonard T. McGuinness, E. Loveday, T. Ross J. Leonard, J. Golden, F. Mott, and s. King.

Quite Number of Factors Combined to
 Depress Stocks Yesterday.


 New York, Aug. 13.-Quite number of factors combined to-day to exercise a rather depressing influence on values on the stock exchange There were also other incidents which, while not calculated to have any effect on in trinsic values, served to put damper on the speculative ardor which has be- come rampant in Wall street.
 The tone of weakness and hesitancy in the wheat market on account of lower prices abroad and a diminished export demand were most keenly felt in the stock market The grain carry ing roads of course showed most sym pathy with the wheat market as be- ing most immediately affected. But every department of the market was more or less influenced on the ground that the return of general prosperity will be more helped by good prices to the farmer for his crops than by any other thing.
 Besides this very important infu- ence towards a halt in the rise of prices, the more substantial and solid element of speculative buyers looked decidedly askance at the speculation which broke out yesterday and to-day in what the street aptly terms "cats and dogs" meaning discarded odds and ends of stocks and securities which no longer represent anything of any appreciable value in the whole world There was more or less movement in this class of stocks, as was the case yesterday, but advances were by no means so easily effected as yesterday, Even the recognized bull operators discourage the movement in this de- partu1ent of the market, it being an accepted maxim that activity in it presages the continuation of a bull movement and subsequent reaction. These considerations combined to in- duce some large selling to realize in many of the stocks which lead in the speculation.
 The only aggressive strength display ed during the day was by some of the great industrial stocks which have re- cently been rather neglected, Sugar be- ing the most notable example. Thesesuc- cumbed with the rest of the list to the downward tendency before the day was over. No little effect was produced on the market by the heaviness in North ern Pacific nreferred, which has re- gently been prominent for strength. The liouidation which set in in this stock yesterday upon the announce ment of the new presidency continued to-day. Friends of the property called if profit taking. The stock sold down 1& and lost IA net. Louisville and Nashville also suffered from profit talk ing. London both bought and sold this stock. It is beginning to appear that while regular arbitrage brokers have been consistently selling in this mar ket for London account, some large foreign banking houses have been buy ing stocks in this market for foreign capitalists.
