the fight, and IL Mr.. Gould was desirous OF
6 per cent, Mr.. Gould is defeated 1t
seems very strange to friends OF Mr..
Gould that this should have happened.
The dividend reduction did not affect
the stock more than a slight fraction.
There was bad drop Immediately after
the announcement of the reduction, but
it was resained later in the day. This
reduction shows that the management, or
several people in the management. at
least, have become very certain that
the company is not earning more than
per cent, and probably viii not for some
time to come. The question now is whether
there will be an early change in the motive
power to electricity, and in face OF the
dividend reduction this seems somewhat
doubtful To effect the change the COM
pany would have to issue six or seven
millions of per cent bonds. The sharps
in the market are quite generally bears
on Manhattan at this moment, though
the reduction is commended as the sane
and the honest thing To do.

The Journal OF Commerce, in its weekly
review of the dry goods market, says:
the bulk of the buyers during the week
devoted their attention to business in
iohbing circles. The demand for spring
goods showed some increase, but there has
been no material change N the tone OF
the general market. In cotton goods the
demand is readily met. Both the cotton
and print cloth markets have been dis
appointing again this week. There
has been some falling off in the demand
for wooden and worsted fabrics, chiefly
for low grades.

This new method of treating deafness

unqualified success in various parts of

porting many wonderful and permanent

1t is a combination Of electricity and
air, under pressure, so applied that all

The fact that the PHILADELPHIA. the
flagship Of the Pacific squadron. has
been ordered to Honolulu gives the New
Grk Mail and Express another uppor-
tunliy to put In II word or two in favor
OF the annexation OF Hawaii to this
country. Our contemporary is greatly
afraid that the Japanese will swallow
up the island, and proceeds to describe
The situation over there IN the following
manner:
~ trying situation has developed
in Hawaii and is rapidly approach
Ing, crisis. The Japanese immi-
grants. who largely outnumbcr the
members OF any other race in The
territory, are alleged to he planning
to acquire political control. Their
numbers are steadily increasing
their demands for the right of Suff-
rage grow more urgent every month.
ana their agitation has already. in
some cases resulted in mob violence
The Government nj Honolulu Is
unable 10 exclude Japanese immi-
grants. ana the consequences Is that
they are pouring into the islands by
thousands. Their influence is Il me-
mace 10 the young republic. IF they
obtain the right of suffrage they VIII
inevitably dominate the politics Of
the islands. and that means the over
throw Of the Government, the sup
preston Of America influence and
the serious injury if not the total de-
struction, Of our trade interests in
Hawaii. III facing this perilous
emergency the Hawaiian Governs
ment is entitled To tho full moral

But why give them the right Of sun-
rage? The law is against it and since
that is the fact it is not entirely clear
why our contemporary shOUld he SO
greatly alarmed. The Japanese might
try to take control by force. and when
that time comes we muy be called upon,
to have something to say. but there is
