If the government of Hawaii allows the
cruiser Charleston and our transports to
take in all the coal they want at Homo
lulu it will of course practically make
itself our ally, and commit an act of
hostility to Spain which would justify
the latter in declaring war; The
Hawaiian government understands this
perfectly well. and because it und srstands
it it is going to let us have all the coal
we need. In short Hawaii is going to
annex herself to the United States by
placing us under SO heavy obligation
that we shall be compelled to take
her in and care for her. Probably Con-
gress will vote to annex by joint rssolu-
ton, but if it does not Hawaii is destined
to become virtual dependency of the
United States.

New York, Sept. H.-London started
prices downward this morning n there
were general declines after the opening
on account of uneasiness over the effect
of an ~unfavorabie bank statement. There
was evidently proft-taking on a heavy
speculative line of some of the leading
stocks. the effect being most pronounced
in the Northern Paciics and st. Paul.,
the former running off a point. At the
same time there were points of strength
in the market, notably Baltimore & Ohio
and Chicago Great Western on reports OF
passing into the control of the Great
Northern interests, looking to the for
nation of a great ranscontinental trunk
line. One or two of the specialties moved
also briskly upwards.
There was a covering of shorts in Su-
gar. thus eliminating the leading factor
Of weakness from the market. As a conse-
quence a demand sprang up at the low
level and there was quite notable alb
sorption of stocks. Prices of the coalers
were bid up sharply in the second hour
on the strength of the Reading statement
showing an increase for the fiscal year of
more than $1,000, 600 in net earnings and a
balance of almost 3 per cent. after all

MARKETS.


Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE wheat situation
had no fresh light shed upon II by early
cablegrams or dispatches. but the market
started at "A sight Improvement for De
cember delivery. September, however,
showed a tendency in the opposite direc-
ton. and that becoming more pronounced,
IL dragged the active option I'm its wake.
A factor which helped the market some
what at the start was the report that a
prominent business man of Ohio, who is
now travelling in Russia. had written TO
this country that he had learned from a
Russian official that the wheat crop in
the Nolga district was a failure and that
50. 600 900 bushels of wheat from other
parts of Russia would be required TO
feed the population of that province. The
rank and file of the speculative crowd
was like the leaves of the aspen. which
culver. even when the air Is calm. ana
that supersensitiveness was shown by the
hutter in the market that attended the
spreading of the oft-repeated tale from
the Volga.
The Atlantic clearances of wheat and
flour for the day amounted to a heavy
aggregate and that was the cause of con-
siderable frmness In the market near
the close. Including clearances from New
Orleans, Galveston and Newport News,
wheat and flour amounted to 75.Oo0 bush
els. September closed unchanged and De-
cember nc higher.
Corn was dull but firm. The initial up
turn was due to moderate buying by COM
mission houses. Prices hely steady on a
very dull trade throughout the session
and closed near the top price of the day.
December closed Ac higher.
Oats demonstrated their ability to fol-
low corn. Trading was light and nothing
of Importance developed. May rose 80
&c.
Provisions we're hrmer but quiet. Pack
ers were inclined TO buy and there was
no pressure to sell. The feature of the
days trading was the purchase of 10000
pounds of ribs by a prominent ackef.
The general trade was light and the range
of prices inconsequential. Pork and ribs
are unchanged and lard is 2I2c higher.

MONTANA GOOD ENOUGH.
j. p. PorteiI Returns From a Prospecting
Trim to Alaska.


Great Falls, Sept. III. p. Portell of
Belt. who left for the Klondike last
February. has returned and Is now in
the city. He says that Montana is a
good enough country for him and he
is going to stay here. There is gold in
the Klondike. but II Is hard to get at
and IL is a miserable country to live in.
Besides this country Is staked for miles
around and in some cases claims are
staked across each other. He saws,
too. that the officials who have the re-
cording OF claims not only show IA
voritlsm but are even tarred with a
worse stick than that. For instance. a
prospector finds a favorable location
and goes TO the recorder to find II II Is
open for settlement and entry. The Of
fetal questions him about IL as to
whether he has found gold on the
lain and i'm what quantities and then
tells the ~prospector that he mas not
time to look it up and that he
better come around the Q day. The
would-be locator goes around the next
day and is again put off. In the mean
while the official has a friend who has
been looking for a good location and
is willing to pay for a tip. When the
prospector comes around the next day
he is told that the claim was located
long ago. He has to go away salts
fed.
Mr.. Portell says there is no doubt
there are rich claims there but il takes
considerable capital to develop them
and after paying the Canadian govern
ment its share, the net results are
small. However. the boa on which he
shipped brought down about 81, 900. 900
from st. Michaels. 1t was reported at
Seattle as $4,000. 900. Mr.. Portell saw
many OF the former residents of this
county i'm the Klondike. among them
Pete McDermott Of Belt, who has gone
over to the American side on a pros
pecting trip. He also met a brother
of ]. j. G. Burns of Barker.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
While Lew Harrison, a ferryman of
Dayton, Ky, was crossing the river sun
day evening he was startled by the new
ing of a cat. The mystery was solved a
moment later, however. when a black cat
sprang from a floating piece OF driftwood
into the boat. The log was several feet
away, but the cat cleared the intervening
space and landed gracefully at the feet
of the astonishcd crew. The ANNA. was
a beautiful specimen of the feline species
and around its neck was a tag with the
following inscription: Let me hear from
you. Miss Nora Daniel. Mentor, Ky, July
IA" Mr.. Harrison has written Miss Daniel
apprising her of the capture. He and the
other ferrymen prize the animal very
highly and refuse to part with Il, al
though they have been offered s. for II.
The crew has subscribed 81 for "a god
collar, which will bear the inscription,
Dayton Ferry" TO be worn by the adj
venturous cat.
