The market drifted extremely and over

single sale recorded for them. A few
stocks moved quite widely on account Of
special causes. but the volume of BUSH

KING OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
n. G. Reid Owns Miles Of Land, but May
Ne Dispossesssd.

From the New York Press.
Newfoundland has a king and he Is
r. G.. Reid. Many years ago in the
face of much opposition the government
started to build a railroad through the
island and the natives. ignorant Usher
men, tore up part of 1t. Several con-
tractors took hold. but they were I'M
successful, too. Then the government
started again and the resumption of
the work was partly responsible for
wrecking all the banks and nearly
running the colony i'm 1888.
Then Mr.. Reid. a contractor from
Montreal. agreed to take hold II he
were to get 5000 acres of lan for each
mile of the railroad or it's branches he
completed. He introduced modern
| methods OF construction and built a
irst-class railroad. Now the govern
| ment has turned over to him the acres
! promised. making $50 squar miles, and
has given him franchises for all cleo

Of his gift is worth easily $50. 0C0. 900.
Many privileges not mentioned are
possessed by him. A yea ago a paper
was read calling attention to the great

paper was much commented p Aft

Bostop Wool Market.

Boston. April H.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool market: Transactions In the
wool market were already too greatly
curtailed to be much further affected by
the outbreak of war. The sales of the last
week footed up something over 50O,ocp
pounds. which is about the average since
the wal scare entered its acute stage sew
eral weeks ago. Conditions have not I'M
proved since our last report. There have
been practically no manufacturer in the
market. The feeling OF tie part of hold
ers is phenomenaliy stront;. Nothing but
the condition of the money market seems
likely to unsettle prices In the near fu-
ture.
The mills are buying only such wool "a
they actually need to piece out with. The
sales OF the week amount to $1,000 pounds
domestic and I'd. 900 pounds foreign. max
ing a total of $1,000 pounds against o to-
tai of l.I5l.00o pounds for the previous
week and a total of 5.113.00 pounds for
the corresponding week last year.

WANTS AN INJUNCTION.
The Montana Central Doesn't Like a
Slaughter House Sewer.

Slaughter House Sewer.
Great Falls. April 27.-This afternoon
suit was filed in the district court by
the Montana Central Railroad COM
any against Spengler & Volk. The
complaint asks for a perpetual injunc-
tion. 1t alleges that the defendants
are conducting a slaughter house not
far from the Missouri, and just above
the city of Great Falls. In 1897 they
constructed a sewer six inche uar
OF plank. and through II at the pres
ent time runs all the blood and wash
ings and offal of their slaughter house.
The sewer IL but three feet beneath
the surface of the ground. and the out
pouring of II covers five rods Of the plain
tiff's land, the sewer running beneath
the railway track of the plaintiffs. The
health oflcers Of Cascade county have
recently notified the plaintm that it was
permitting a nuisance. In addition.
the plaintiff has 10 trains daily running
over the sewer complained of, and its
employees n the passengers are en-
dangered in health by the sewer 1t
therefore asks for a perpetual injunction
and a judgment Of $500 damages. A
bond accompanied the complaint, and
is in the sum of $500. with @. r. Curtis
and Mark Skinner as sureties.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Tsin Ching Chung. a Chinese gentle
man who was a Yale student a few
years ago. has undertaken the defense
of the rat as an article of diet. He says:
What the carrot In to a horses coat

knows h a a regimen of carrots will
make his steed al mooth and iustrous
as velvet. and the Chinese. especially

New York when, Market.

New York. April 27.-After a season of
ANNOUNCEMENTS early In the session.
wheat bulls attacked the market on all
sides to-day. forcing the shorts into Wig
orous action. which wiped out all the ear
~ decline and left the closing prices "a
1c igher than last night. The greatest
excitement OF the day. however. was
brought out in curb trading. when July
sold up to 81 .0sil on a continuation of the
active covering which marked the last
hours trading. Heavy liquidation formed
a part of the mornings business. thus re-
lieving the market of a considerable bur
den and making II extremely sensitive In
the late afternoon to the bullish demon
strations. Exports were fairly large and
an advance was reported in freight rates.
The remarkable strength In foreign
markets to-day In the face of yesterday $
late weakness on this side was a surprise
to all the traders. indicating either a big
corner in nearby deliveries, particularly
In Liverpool and Antwerp. or a continued
scare over light supplies. July sold from
s9c To N.ol7s. closing officially at N.olss.
May ranged from $1.16i2 TO .22ia. closing
officially at 81 %. The last curb prices on
July were s.c over the beat previous hs-
ures for the year.

CAPE HoRN INHABITANTS.
Patagontans who Are Fleet Of Foot and
Vine Markame0.


From the Boston Transcript.
1t may be as well to refer to some
other tribes about Cape Horn which
attracted the attention of Professor
Hatcher. For example may be men
toned the Yahgans. who live nearer
20 the south pole than any other known
people. They occupy certain small ISL
ands lying south of Terra del Fuego
and are found also on the south beach
OF that great island itself. The terri
tory they occupy is a maze of noun
tain peaks and the conditions under
which they exist are almost beyond
realization by a civilized person.
The typical weapon OF the Yahgans
IL the rawhide sling. with which they
are able to- hit a water fowl at 200
yards. To hit any bird at that dis
lance would be called right good shoot
ing. They can knock down and stun a
guanaco with a heavy round pebble up
TO 100 yards. The reason for the sling
as a tool of destruction II found in
the fact that the Yahgans live on the
beach. where plenty of round pebbles
are always at hand. These ISLANDERS

store IL up for future use In the blad-

Quite distinct and peculiar is the Ona

has the shape Of a triangle ana IL al

Once upon "a time IL must have a a
