London Bought and New York Sold
Stocks Today.
OFFERINGS WERE TAKEN FREELY
The Result Was an Unusually Ac-
tive Market.
GENERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

special Dlspatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November I7.-London
hoLses were active buyers of American
stocks this morning, and cs bles from that
center were received by local representa-
ives long after the time usually given to
tne ciosllg of foreign business. In ALL
some 10000 shares of the active low-priced
shares were taken for foreign account, and
demand approaching buoyancy was re-
ported throughout the American depart-
ment.
one feature rot wholly in sympathy with
the main movement was disclosed in the
continued Selling of Northern Pacific.
1he revival of rumors relative to Stub
oorn dlHerences in the board as to the
diFloehd policy to be pursued was thought
10 De behind much of the local selling On
the other hand German houses were report-
ed 10 De selling in the interest of profits
ana IN the fear of tight money at home.
" hateFer the cause the stock was freely
onered, but at the decline the buying for
inside account was called good.
Tne dividend on the common stock is not
question OF earnings, but merely one of
policy The fact that it was abundantly
earned will probably help the price of the
stock, but above all there is still the proba-
pllty that when action takes the place of
mere discussion this stock will be found
ers p"'
The Union Pacific situation is interesting,
also, because of the dividend outlook and
good buying of these shares is developed
on all recessions
The demand for Atchison securities con-
tinues on an extraordinarily large scale
and much higher prices are confidently pre-
lcted.
The Granger issues, notably Rock Island.
Burlington and ST. Paul. were advanced
under good demand from conservative
sources.
This group even at present prices is be-
lieved to possess a degree of merit which
is still some distance from the point of ex-
haustion.
Metropolitan Traction was advanced to
a new high level under the influence of
good inside buying. The new business of
this property Is certain to attract more
than usual interest TO its shares, and
strong manipulative buying is relied upon
to assist in any discounting of good news
In American Sugar and Tobacco there
were times of neglect and apparent heavi-
ness but little attention was paid to the
movements in either.
Federal Steel was again to some extent
neglected by the inside interests, quotations
being erratic in consequence
The volume of the days business was I'M
usually large and well distributed. The
room decidedly reactionary, bur the
full effect of this condition was dwarfed
by the commission demand.
The character of the weeks banking
operations may again cause a temporary
halt in the advance but without a radical
change in the speculative temper no de-
cline will be allowed 10 run far without at
tracing good demand.

OSAGES ARE CROESUSES
Wealthiest People, Per Capita, to Be Found
on Earth.
Each Indian Owns Over 500 Acres of
Land and Gets n 500 Cash
Annuity.

The Usage Indians are probably the
wealthiest pee pie. per capita, on earth, are
aristocrats anG scorn manual labor, accord
ing to Agent PCllocks annual report tc the
Interior Department. They own 800 acres
of land for each man. woman and child
each rec living an annuity of over 500 in
cash.
AS an illustration, If an Indian and his
wife have eight children, the annual cash
income of the family is over 5000.
In advance even of his White brother in
TINS respect, he prefers the conveniences
luxuries and dissipations of village life to
agricultural avocatioa; he loves to sing
and dance and rest. and he has plenty of
money to support his family in idleness
INDIAN Agent Stephens of the Crow
Greeks reports that a serious nuisance and
u@trlmeht TO progress, to correct which
agents would have to cooperate is inter-
tribal Visiting, demoralizing to the Indians
encouraging ldieness and nomadic habits
abandonment of the crops, reckless distri-
bution OF property as presents and neglect
of stock. Action to minimize this mischief
is urged.
Captain Cornish of the Umtah and Ouray
agency in Utah, complains in his report
that there never has been any settlement
of the claim Of the Incompetence White
River ana southern Utes on account of the
cession of about S.OO0O00 acres of land to
the United States under a treaty of 1880 in
consideration of certain benefits.
The treaty required that the land should
be subject ia cash entry only and that the
proceeds after reimbursement to the United
States for sums appropriated and set aside
in the Ute act and paying for land which
might be csded to the Utes by the United
States, outside of their reservation, at 81 d
per acre, should be deposited to their credit
in the treasury, the interest payable to the
Utes annually with the rest of their an
nuity money. This claim has not been set
tied and statement made as to the
amount of money collected for this land.
The denial of the rights of these Indians
to hunt on their old reservation in ac-
cordance with the Colorado game laws is
complained of as injustice and violation
of their treaty rights, and the agent RECON-
mends securing through Congress some com
pepsation for loss of the right

Representative Rixey Compliments Is
the County Omcia1.-rhe Guests
at the Banquet.

The principal event at the dedication of
the new county court house in Alexandria
county, Virginia, yesterday, after The
stars account closed, was the address by
Governor Tyler, in which he said:
rms is not only the nearest temple of
justice that Virginia has to our great ma
tons capital, but Is the nearest public
structure she has to Arlington. the home of
our peerless Lee. May the memory of this
hlustrious hero be a constant inspiration
IN the performance of all obligations by
those who will preside within these walls,
and may that noble sentiment of his, that
duty is the sublimest word in the English
language be the watchword and talisman
OF all who decide and execute the laws for
this people.
After Donctl's Band had rendered "The
Georsia Camp Meeting to the great giee of
the colored youths who danced and hoped
around the stand, Mr.. Jas. E. Clements.
former commonwealth attorney, was called
upon and gave resume of the history of
the county and the efforts made toward
securing the new court house.
D. X. Trimmer of York, Pa, one of the
donators of the land upon which the court
house is erected, was introduced and COM
plimented the people Of Alexandria county
upon the new structure before them.
Representative RiXey made an eloquent
address, i'll which he said Alexandria coun-
ty occupies the outpost of Virginia's prog
ress, with a prospect both encouraging and
inspiring. Said he:
l will bear willing testimony to the eff
cheney of her county officials, especially
your board of supervisors. upon whom has
devolved the duty of building this court
mouse, so well done"
Music by the band followed, after which
Chairman Saegmuller told of his experience
with the county roads, which, he declared
cost the county $4,000 per year. and even
with this expenditure were by no means
what could be desired. He asked authority
on behalf of the county supervisors to bond
the county next year to the amount of
100000.
Attorney A. A. Lipscomb of this city fol-
lowed with a very brief address, closing
the outdoor exercises.
A bountiful banquet was awaiting the
governor and his distinguished party within
the court house.

FIESTA PARK
COLLEGE YELLS AND C0L0RS
The Game Victory for the Cardinal
After a Hard Fought Contest-lt
"Might Have Been" Different

The cardinal and gold of the University OF
Southern California waved in triumph over
the Fiesta park gridiron yesterday at the
finish of a long-drawn-out and stubbornly
contested football game between the
elevens of the varsity and Pomona college.
Il was the annual intercollegiate match and
the wearers of the red and yellow jerseys
downed their blue and white rivals by a
scofe of IA to ii, but came very near losing
the game in the last few moments.
The day was clear and warm. with no wind
blowing-ideal football weather-and by IL
o'clock about seven hundred spectators had
gathered in the big bleachers on the east
side Of the park.
Nearly everyone in the crowd was a
partisan of one of the teams and colors
were waved and college yells mingled with
the footing of tin horns upon the slightest
provocation. The Pomona rooters filled the
north half of the middle section and as their
eleven appeared on the gridiron at 1905 the

the uproar lasted for several minutes. The
