REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Fears of Money Stringency Affected
Wall Street Operations.

New York, Sept. 16.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Prices have reflected the changing
opinion Of the speculative market as
TO the prospects Of a disturbance in
money In the early part of the week
the bad bank statement of last Satur-
day and the expectation that the con-
tinued drawing of money in the treas
ury would result in a contraction of
loans, caused more or less liquidation
by bullish spectators, and gave an
opportunity for bear operators to at
tack prices. The failure OF. interest
rates to advance to figures indicative
OF a scarcity of funds tended. however,
to throw doubts on this view, while
the decline of exchange, the engage
ment of S1,600, 600 gold in London for
import the increase by the New York
banks Of their government deposits and
the fact that loans were being shifted
from New Yorl. to other cities, con-
tributed to- an easier feeling about
the money market, which. on Wednes-
day and Thursday, caused sharp raj
" in prices. On Friday the rise con-
tinued and was helped by the engage
ment for import of about $1,000. 900 more
gold. In the latter part of the day.
however, the exceptional weakness of
American sugar stock brought about
a general reaction. The attitude of the
consider that the New York money
market exhibited symptoms of pressure
indicating Of serious arrangement of
business or calling for action by the
treasury, had no doubt a share in
bringing the stock market to it's senses
at a time when Spectators. were in
clined TO believe in the possibility of
sharp furry in industrials. This has
not occurred, and the highest quota
ton for call loans has been per cent,
with the bulk of Wall street borrowings
on securities at fully 1 per cent lower.
Besides the fact that an advance Of
rates would bring gold from abroad,
probably in large amounts, it is recog-
nized that the heavy payments for the
new government bonds are nearly fin
ished, and that an extremely unfavor-
able bank statement today is unlikely
This has led to a covering of the trad
ers' short sales put out early in the
week, and has probably induced more
or less repurchasing by interests which
sold stocks on fear of tight money,
while it seems also to have led to re-
newed support by cliques and large
operators in their specialties.
London's action in our market has
been a feature. Speculation there was
depressed by the renewed political
complications in Europe, in Crete and
In the Soudan. Nevertheless, at the
decline here there was foreign buying.

were sitter on the fear of a gold out

centricities were so marked as TO be

period, written by a young traveller
whom / met the year previous to the
Indian outbreak and the old sailor
death. One writer related to me his
personal knowledge of Dan with great
amusement.
The cabin of old Dan contained raw
hide beds, but no luxuries, and was in
conceivably dirty. But elk steaks were
usually to be had there in abundance,
and a brown jug made its appearance
just at the desired moment, so that the
cabin at the Skies was favorite stop

his usual challenge to strangers, Are

preference for the inhabitants of that
vicinity, the young tenderfoot an
Swered cheerfully, Yes But he learned
his mistake when, with a volley of sea-
! bred oaths, Dan ordered them off the
premises.
Dan left his cabin at the beginning
of the outbreak and went to the fort
built at the mouth of Rogue river, in
tending to help the settlers gathered
there.
with a number of others, he was
outside the fort one day, when their
return was cut off by a large band of
Indians.
Seeing the utter hopelessness of his
position, old Dan rushed into the surf

LAST STAND OF NORWEGIAN DAN


Seeing the Oregon boys starting to
war takes me back to the time, more
than 40 years ago, when the fathers of
some of these men were also called to
shoulder gun, but their fighting was
done on our own shores and against an
enemy that didn't observe military tao
| ties remarked an old pioneer and a
former resident of the 'Webfoot'
state.
I know that such fighting means my
self, for settled in that country, when
from Washington territory down to
Port Oxford was one vast stretch of
wilderness. In fact, was one of the
party who selected the site for Port

We Adventures were lured there by
the discovery of a long stretch of au-
riferous sands at Gold Bluff. Our par
ty numbered Is men, but after remain
ing some months, provisions ran short
and half of the men returned to Port
land for supplies.
After their departure, the Indians
began to show signs of hostility, so we
made up our minds to move our camp
upon what is known as Battle Rock,
fort that was planned when God farm
ed the country. The place showed three
precipitous sides of solid granite, so feet
high toward the ocean, and could only
be reached by a natural causeWay from
the land.
we barricaded the accessible point
as best we could, leaving a portfolio for
our brass fieldpiece-a 6-pounder. Ne

stones, slugs and scrops of iron, and we

was then put into every rifle in camp,

OUR BRAVE DEAD.

The community was throEn into the most profound sadness and gloom on Saturday night by the re- ceipt Of 0f the news that Captain
 W. O. O'Neill of Prescott's Rough
 Ride-s' had fallen in Fridays bat tie be telegram came about 10 o'clo, and the news spread like
 wild fire. Expressions of the deep
 est sorrow were heard from the lips of every one. and hope although It
 was against hope was felt that it
 might prove a mistake. Later
 however, telegrams were received
 confirming the sad news.
 Mrs. O Neiil had been in Pbenix
 for several days attending to her
 husbands business aud when the
 news as flashed over the wires she

 Father Qustu secured 3 carriage and
 met her at the train to impart the news to her, and the fact of thus meeting her instinctively told her that romethinE had happened to her loved one. Immediately upon his speaking 10 her and being told that a carriage was in waiting, she inquired: Has anything hap -ened to OwenP' Father Qnsiu ,c. her there was bad news con l=-lu hun when she broke com Pieteiy town, her grief over her loss b--ng lnconsolable. An early mass Tor the deceased was held al the Catholic church on Sunday morning and all flags in the city wer- placed at half staff in honor of our brave dead. The telegram announcing his death also states that a large num- Der of Arizona volunteers Ire num- bered among the dead and wounded. .
 The death of Captain 0'Neill was characte ri-.ie of the individual. In private he he was brilliant, im- 7ulsive and ashrg. He never .'untec the ,.e. - anything he un-
