MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb. 2S-There were aver
age declines of from l to points among
the leading stocks. including the rail-
ways. while in the case of Burlington
there was decline of AZ. The special
ties although showing considerable
strength at one time, made extreme de-
ally large. In the early trading there was
small buying by London and interests
connected with the Steel Stocks and also
some purchases of Burlington. Realizing
by commission houses sent prices of.
The market rallied and then declined
again on talk of the possibility of tighter
call money and on the circulation of a
rumor that the Americans had sunk a
German cruiser at Manila. There was a
brisk attack on values, stop loss orders
being uncovered. and considerable liqui-
dation was induced. Prices. picked up
again when it became known that no
such disturbing Manila advices had been
received but speculation became unset
tied again with the renewal Of pressure.
Sugar. which showed early strength on
reports of the acquisition of a rival COM
pany, sold Off on the denials.
Two things which in measure would
account for the weakness of the market
were that London sold. in the afternoon
the stock purchased carrier. and two of
the leading interests that had been prom

themselves $40 = r.si

Anglo. American Disturbing lnAusacss.

While it now seems impossible that
line or tariff differences not capable of
adjustment with Canada can seriously
mar our present pleasant relations
with England, there is. especially in
the former. a field for controversy that
is likely to become somewhat agitated
to say the least. II we can determine
upon the right and adhere to it, Eng
land with her characteristic cleverness
will doubtless succumb as gracefully
as possible and think more of us for our
determination. as she did in the Vene-
zuelan controversy. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped. however, that the differences
may not reach such straining point.
There is little doubt. however. that the
gold seeker in the Klondike region is
in much the same frame of mind to-
ward British assumptions of authority
that the forefathers of this country
were when the tea was spilled in Bos-
ton harbor.
The vital point seems to be involved
in the shore line parallel. which ac-
cording to the treaty shall be "a line
parallel to the winding of the coast,
and which shall never exceed the dis
lance of ten. marine leagues there
from" The British construe this SEEM
ingly clear clause to mean that the.
actual shore line should be the insular
shore line while the Americans contend
that the actual shore line should be the
continental shore line.
Great Britain, of course, is sticking
hard for her construction because by
settlement according to her claims she
would come into undisputed possession
of some of the richest gold producing
regions of that far northern country
and would secure an outlet to the
Pacific and also sea terminus to the
outlet of the Yukon. For the same
reason we are not disposed to surren-
der any advantages now that they are
demonstrated to be so important. Ger
tainly the view which appeals most
strongly to the ordinary mind is that
by shore line was not meant that
drawn along the outer shores of the
islands lying along the coast.

!" Please Smile

When q woman says !" I am racketl
with pain," the word tracked" recalls
the days when they stretched the tender
bodies of women on the rack with rope
and pulley until the very joints cracked.
Fancy an attendant saying to the tor
tured woman, "Please smile and look
pleasant"
And yet the woman cracked with
pain" is expected to smile through her
agony and to make home happy. She
can't do it. It is against nature. Gen.
orally speaking, the racking pains of ill
health such as headache, backache and
clearing down pains " are related to de-
engagements or disorders of the organs
distinctly feminine. When this condition
is removed the general health is restored,
and with health comes back the smile

! Mutual Interests In China.

Among the many excellent reasons
advanced for the maintenance Of
friendship between England and this
country, were several important ones
discussed by Lord Beresford at con-
siderable length before the New York
chamber Of commerce, last week. He
is Oh his way home from visit in
China, where he has been making an
exhaustive investigation Of the situa-
tiOn.., He advocates the assistance Of
this country in enabling England to
maintain the open door policy in
China.
He found there that very many
goods, which appear as British, be-
cause they are taken there in British
bottoms and are sold by British mer-
chants are of American manufacture.
and especially in cottons and railway
engines our manufacturers have the
preference because what is wanted
rather than what we may think they
ought to have are made for the trade.
Lord Beresford concludes from his
investigation that there is in this
mutual profit, for all save the British
manufacturer, for the British mer-
chants handle the goods. But this sort
Of thing he is convinced cannot long
continue uninterrupted, for the reason
that either China must be propped up
civilized nations united in their efforts
or it. will shortly go to smash and De
divided among the different spheres of
influence when the open door policy
will apply only to that portion which
England may be able to get out of the
scramble for territory.
In the matter of coarse cottons alone
Lord Beresford found that this country
sends immense quantities annually to
that part of China. the north. which
in event of parttoning the empire
would fall to the lot of Russia and be
opinion the interests of England and
the United States and possibly of
Germany and Japan are practically
Identical with respect to the future
policy to be maintained toward China.
Just how the United States is to be-
come party to such an alliance he does
not make clear. and at this moment it
-, is question which. few statesmen
with regulations to sustain would care
to attempt to answer offhand. The
advantages of friendship with Great
Britain in her present policy there are
very apparent, however; the problem
being what may they be when such
friendship is in need of sacrifices to
sustain it.

Senator German has taken occasion
to declare in the Senate that he does
not wish in any way to hamper the
administration in the task it has on
hand with our new possessions. He is
probably aware of the old saying that
actions speak louder than words but
he makes no effort to have them speak
in unison, He has done his utmost to
throw obstacles in the path of speedy
settlement of vexing problems, and his
disavowal of any such purpose is only
made because he fears the results. In
that he Is wiser than Bryan who urged
his party to;oppose in every way all
enlargement of the army. German
Will do that as readily as Bryan coul.l
wish but he is careful to protest other
wise. though 1t ought to be apparent
that he protesteth Ger much.

One of the charges made in the Cor
ties last week against the ministry was
that chests of gold sent from Spain to
pay the soldiers in Cuba were brought
back unopened. Popular opinion in this
country has been that not only did the
soldiers not receive their pay, as was
charged in this complaint, but hat
the gold never went back to Spain ex-
cept in the pockets of the Weylers and
military politicians of his ilk Possibly
this in some degree was an exaggera-
ted suspicion. but it is worthy of note
that our suspicious concerning the
mismanagement of her army and
navy are being confirmed by those
who We're in best position to know.

A Newport man has a dog which

NAL was to stop IA runaway horse. one
day recently, to the surprise Of the on

way up Main street at good rate of
speed when the dog noticed that some
thing was wrong and in an instant had
reached a point directly in the path of
the horse where by barking and jump
ing at the animals head he caused him
to stop.
Here is another dog story. The
other day two dogs were running
about Lisbon village and making
friends with everyone. Later the
Maine Central train ran over one of
them at the Sabbatis bridge below the
town. The dead dog was left on the
track over night and the live one re-

the dog would fiercely attack the
wheels, and the wonder is that he was
not killed. That night the live dog
slept in the snow near his companion,
and al sunrise the next morning was
up and at his post again. A young
man discovered them, and tried to
tempt away the living dog with meat,
but could not do it. At last he fastened
piece of wire into it's collar, and led
it away.

the cars wrecked was loaded with

happened few seasons ago. 1t says:
AS every one knows, the senator is an

and advices from the Maine lakes
showed that the trout fishing was
superb. Mr.. Frye was anxious. He
had a river and harbor bill, as we'll as
two other important measures, in
hand, and the chances for casting a fly
to seduce the gamy trout looked
ominous. In his dilemma Senator
Frye took the Senate into his conf
dence. In the secrecy of executive
session he told his colleagues that he
wanted to go fishing, but that if he
did not get his bills passed very soon
the trout Season would be over SEN
atorial courtesy was never appealed to
with better success. The next day the
river and harbor bill was passed, and
