ARRIVAL OF RELATED LINERS.

New York, Feb. 14.-With a clear sky overhead once more, the ocean steamers began coming in at an early hour this morning.

WHEN ACTUAL PEACE COMES.
Question of Interestto Those Want
 ing to Be Mustered Out.

Washington, Feb. 1A.-It was said at the war department today that the de- cision respecting the status quo in the Philippines and the restrictions imposed on American operations there also covers the question of the dis banding of the army. There is quite a large proportion of the increase or the regular army that was mustered in ''for the war; with the specific pledge that on the return of peace these men, although regulars and mustered in nominaIly for three years, would be given their discharge at any time on their own application. If advantage were generally taken of this pledge by the department it would seriously de- plete the American forces in the field; but the time for the redemption of the promise has not yet arrived, and, ac- cOTding to the ruling of the depart mant, a state of war will exist until after the exchange of notifications Of the peace treaty by the two countries. After that, the end of the war in all probability will be formally announce by executive proclamation, as was the declaration of the war last spring

The strength of Bell is ascribed TO
reported earnings of 10 per cent.
The American Steel and Wire has
made made another advance of Is cents to
SzSo per key in the price of nails. This
Is $4o per ton, an advance of S23 per

The books of the Smelling trust are
said to show net earnings of 1921 900

The information in regard to Sugar is
again very conflicting. The buying of
the stock is of a character which con-
tinues to strengthen conviction that
competition with opposition refiners is
certainly going to be less of a factor
than it has been.
Speculation is getting back into rail-
road stocks again. and this is giving a
stronger tone to the whole market
There is evidence that the next group
of stocks to move viii be the coal

THE COLONEL SETTLED.
Lawyer William A Gile Fixes Up Assault
Case Against Him Out of Court.

A story to the effect that Col. William
Gle was to have been summoned into
the central district court yesterday
morning, for assault and battery on
Peter Dolan, son of well-known
truckman. brought out a crowd that
made a standing-room- only sign nee
essary to see the colonel defend him
self against the charges made by the
youngster.
The colonel, however, was not to be
held up TO ridicule by the crowd, and
as Peter Dolan senior left the court
room with satisfied expression on his
face, it leaked out that the case had
been settled out of the court by Lawyer
GLE, and he was spared the humiliation
of explaining why he did 1t.
According to the story told by the
boy, the colonel lost his temper one
night last week, because the boy, who
was selling papers. gave his bell too
vigorous a pull. The colonel, who OBJ
5ects to having bills sent in to him for
repairs on his bell, started in to ex-
plain matters to the boy, who reta-
lated in language that was not to the
colonePs liking. The result was that
he chastised the boy and a complaint
of assault and battery was made to the
police. The warrant was served on Col.
Gle, but he settled with the boys faith
er and smoothed over the ruffied feel
ings of the Dolan family and the mat
ter was dropped.
Matthew Moore, a veteran of the
Porto Rican campaign, according to his
own story, was sentenced to the house
of correction for four months. He was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Sergt,
Hill and booked for vagTancy.
Michael Wrenn, charged with drunk
enness, was taken on probation, and
Charles b. Hunt, on the same charge.

Market Was Without
a Feature.
MARKED CONTRAST
With the Trading During
the Past Few Days.

Stock market trading was compare
uVeW quiet yesterday, and there was
none Of the excitement in any particu-
lar line that has characterized the SUI
gar stocks during the last few DAYS.
In Wall street the active list main
tanned hrmness all day, and in Boston
the only heavy trading was in mining
shares.
The only feature was a 9 1-2 point
rise in Boston Elevated to 80. Banks
are discriminating carefully, and to
this is to be attributed the decline of
interestin Boston copper shares.
Brokers viii not carry them at all
freely on margins, as they cannot bor-
row on them, and it is really an excel
lent check to speculative wildness.
In New York yesterday the coal
shares were strong, Lackawanna rising
ga, Jersey Central and Reading first
preferred each and Delaware and
Hudson rs, while General Electric
came down S%, with u rally. c. b.
az q. and st. Paul gained point each;
Sugar was much less cratic than here
tofore. A loss of ~ and rally of was
followed by narrow fluctuations in the
afternoon; Steel & Wire strengthened
:, to 64A, and Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
after early loss of 27s, rose 4B, to
100h.
The heavy buying of coalers brought
prices up, and the leading shares ruled
well above the close on Tuesday. Heavy
realizations in Reading. coupled with
extreme weakness in Sugar and Cen
eral Electric, met with a sympathetic
response in other stocks.
The following quotations were made
on the Boston exchange yesterday on
stocks held in Worcester and vicinity:

FOR the rumor at the present time I'M
DER the present management of the
American Screw Company everything
appears hopeful. and the directors are
endeavoring to bring the plant up to
a paying basis in order that the stock
holders may realize dividends on their
investments.
A vague rumor is abroad 10 the effect
that the Burlington had completed an
alliance with the B. & o. and the
Northwestern for a transcontinensal
line The story received no confirmation.
The line suggested would be quite d.
rect, and its Pacific terminus, Seattle,
is becoming an important port. The
Burlington would be a very small part
of the. line, simply supplying the Ink
between Chicago and st. Paul.
The following. has been received by
the International bureau of mines from
their correspondent at Victoria, B. c.:
Full confirmation of the rich strike
OF gold quartz reported from Alberni,
has been received here. The find was
on property recently purchased by
p. Clarke of Spokane. 1t is said that
the vein is fully two feet wide, and the
ore almost solid gold, assaying nearly
$4,000 to the ton. There is great excite
ment in Alberni and Victoria, and it
means much to the west coast of the
vancouver Island mining district.
Other properties in that neighborhood
nave taken jump, sympathetically
With this report. Mr.. Short is up from
Granite Creek and reports that the lead
is TWO feet wide, assays going $3.50 to
the ton. 1t is said that he has found
a vein Of peacock ore which in places
mas solid chunks Of gold and copper"
Application will be made TO list Wyo-
ming Consolidated Copper Company in
the near future, probably soon after
the books close for subscription. and
meanwhile the stock will probably be
brought out on the curb. The COM
pany has some $4,000 tons of rock on it's
dumps waiting for the erection of the
smelter and concentrator, which is ex-
pected to be ready in about six weeks.
When the railroad is finished some
time before fall, the company will be
in condition to ship copper in consi-
oerable quantities. It's recent strike of
a rich vein assayed s157 to the ton and
carried more than sufficient gold to
meet charges. The ore already in
sight will keep the smelter busy for a
long time.
A practical mining man from the
Michigan copper district, one who has
managed some of the mines. has
travelled every foot of the district and
is thoroughly familiar Nth the history
ana working of every property in
Houghton county, says that there
Is considerable misconception Of con-
ditions as they actually exist there
Ihis is especially true as regards value
or lodes and percentage of ore. The
nVe important lodes above Portage
Lake in their order from west to east
are the Allouez conglomerate. Osceola
amygdaloid, Kearsarge conglomerate
ana hearsarge anygdaloid. These
traverse the copper country for miles
rom northeast to southwest The AL
f louez lode has been worked at the Al.
Iouez mine, and in no other place. Even
tnere 1t has been abandoned, although
the present price Of copper may allow
prontaole mining again, as it carries
ABOUT 1s pounds to the ton.
