FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York. April 14.-Bradstreets finan-
cial review tomorrow will say:
This week has witnessed another re-
markable exhibition Of the force and
strength of the present bullish speculative
temper. The heavy declines and liquida-
tion in industrial securities accompanying
the rise in call loan rates and the increased
disposition of lenders to reject trust
stocks or high-priced speciaties as collat-
cral was apparently checked last Saturday
by the appearance of only a moderately I'M
favorable bank statement and by the evil
cent disposition of large interests in the
market TO support the railroad share list.
On Monday the large demand for call
loans eased off to a notable extent, the
rates of money for call showing an increase
and though the bulk of the loans were
made at price, money was freely offered
before the close at 4 per cent or less. 1t
would seem that the interests which had
charge of the money gathered together of
the Chicago and Alton syndicate the Man
hattan stock subscription and other large
transactions took steps to release the funds
ana made them available for stock market
purposes A number of sterling loans were
also made and the money market as a
Whole tailed to present the alarming symp-
toms which had furnished grounds for the
break.
Later in the week there was a further
easing in call loan rates. Although the dis
elimination against industrials continued,
1T was thought that 1t was not so severe or
general. The street at large was inclined
to a belief that the liquidation in indus
trials was healthy process, and has
checked the disposition of the public to
trade in such securities or in sufficient mar
gins and of a certain proportion of broker
age firms to carry unduly large amounts of
those stocks for speculative account.

The iron and steel industry remains firm,

is quieter. Big iron production is inereas-

still urgent. The lumber market Is active

Good Railroad Earnings

Among the favorable features coming to
light this week might be mentioned the re-
ceipts of continued good railroad earnings
reports, advices of widespread industrial
activity, accompanied by rather less than
usual friction as reflected in strikes for
higher wages and a largely completed dis
tribution Of WOOL which appears to have
Weakened at last from its long sleep. Sales
of this staple, indeed, are the heaviest re-
ported for many weeks past, both INSIDE

bought freely of territory and other do
mestic grades.
The strength of raw sugar has hnally
been reflected in higher rates for refined
hard grades, all of which are firm at the
advance while soft grades have been
shaded. Indications are that the cuban
crop will be smaller than last year, ana
the weather in Louisiana is reported sthl
unfavorable to plant in growth. AdVices
from the manufacturing jewelry trade are

Il 10 Manifested In the Most Ordinary
Conversations.


Conversations.
The gift of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means fiction of
literature. The use of pat" phrases is
natural to him.
A clerical traveller in Cavan not long
ago asked a peasant how far it was to
certain village and was answered.:
1.-TWO miles,"
"What! only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before traversed the
distance and found it long road.
"Well, your reverence" answered the
peasant, SIT is two miles shtrong and
rich, SO to spake!'
A somewhat similar story is told by
one OF Lord Zetiand's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition of
a distressed district They were cross
ing lake; gale was blowing and
waves were dashing over the boat
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant, if treated
we'll, will always agree with what is
said to him rather than appear disagree.

was good chance to put the assertion
to the proof.

The answer came through the howl

There is but one United States
Judge, whose jurisdiction IS SO
large as to appall the average
visitor who takes the trouble
TO look over the map. 1t is
? 900 miles from end to end.
To get witnesses from distant
parts Of Alaska to this court
involves tremendous expense
to the government.
Senator Shoup will recon-
mend the appointment OF two
more Judges for Alaska, with
an additional United States
marshal and United States at,
torney for each new court y, to
be established. He will also
recommend the appointment
of more United States COM
missioners, there being but
nine at present, and OF a de-
putty marshal for each COM
missioner.
He will also recommend
that the jurisdiction of the
commissioners be increased SO
they can determine civil act
ions to a limit of $1,000. He
also favors granting them all
powers of a probate court.

strenuous opposition to max

Eighty.four per cent of the
entire public domain of Idaho
is still public land, amounting
to more than forty.four million
acres. The Clearwater branch
of the N. P. will open up a
large area of this unsettled
section and make it one of the
best paying pieces of road in
the northwest. Large tracts
of timber, grazing and agri.
cultural land in the Clearwater
basin only await transporta.
ton facilities to permit OF their
development into prosperous
and thriving communities.
The mining interests will also
take on a new lease of life,
and many properties, which
have for years lain dormant
for want of transportation, will
be opened up and worked
much more extensively than
ever before. In ten years
from today this section will
be one of the most prosperous
countries on the globe.

THE PARROT KEPT HIS HEAD.

Though Badly Shaken by an Explosion He
Didn't Forget to Mock Afterward.
Marshall p. Wilder is never chary Of
his stories, says New York exchange.
Either they are inexhaustible or he
doesn't fear that they will lose their
edge by private repetition. Here is q
late one: 1.-TWO Yankee sailors strolled
into show in Guatemala. where q
prestidigitateur was entertaining the
audience. A parrot was perched on the
back of the bench where they sat.
After every surprising feat one sailor
would turn to the other with the re-
mark: That was pretty good! won
der what will come nextT That was
repeated till it made the parrot tired
Presently one of them threw down q
burning match with which he had
lighted his pipe. 1t fell through n
crack in the floor and into a powder
magazine. Biff! went the whole build
ing, people and all, and nothing was
left but hole in the ground and the
parrot, which was uninjured though
badly shaken up. The bird pulled
itself together. Strengthened out its
feathers, tapped its way to a heap of
ruins and croaked: That was pretty
good wonder what will come next?'"

GOVERNMENT OF ALASKA.
Senator Shoup Opposed To
Territorial Form.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. IL
Senator Shoup has just return
ed from an offie al trip to Alas.
ka, taken as cl airman OF the
senate committee on territor.
les for the purpose Of acquaint-
ing himself with legislative
needs there. He is radically
opposed to giving Alaska a
territorial form of govern
ment at this tine. He says
while he found opinion on the
question divided thtre, he as.
certained to his personal salts
faction that tht Sc who would
have to bear he burden of
territorial COY eminent are
strongly opposed to it. The
floating population naturally
desires that Alaska be forth
with granted tie full powers
of a territory, but that class
would not share in the tremen-
dous expense. The senator
is a firm believer that nothing
would retard tie growth Of
Alaska more than a territor-
ial form of COVE rnment. The
cost of maintaini 9 such a gov
eminent would be enormous
and taxation would be equiva-
lent to confiscat.oa. The cost
of holding an election there
would be almost enough to
bankrup, the az rage state.
Senator Shoup fayors giving
Alaska a separate civil code,
however, and he will report on
one when congress convenes.
AT present, Alaska is under
the civil code of Oregon.

NATIONALITY IN EGG EATING.

ABOUT CUT GLASS.
The Kind. That Is IL Vogue and How to
Take Care OF It.

Imported cut glass is now rivaled by
the American production at price
which, though Ii j, il considerably less
than the foreign. Owing to the great
amount of work required in cutting
and polishing and the large percentage
of breakage while il the hands of the
workmen cut glass must always be val
liable. Once, while watching the
process at an American factory which
turns out some Of the finest in the
world, l saw salad bowl break just as
it was receiving its final touches, and
this without any fault OF the artisan.
On the piece had already been expended
enough work to bring the value of the
article up to for y-tive dollars. OF
course, the labor was totally lost.
The two finest kinds of glass, Be-
hemian and Venetian, arc named from
the countries in which their manufac-
ture has reached high degree of per-
lection. In the Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicaey Of the material
and form. It's production requires both
technical and artistic skill in glass
blowing, while The bohemian is dis
tinguished by richness Of ornamental
ton through polishing and engraving.
After the rivalry of England in add.
ing mixture of lead to flint glass,
by means of which was produced
q substance superior in brilliance
and transparency to the Bohcmians
the continental workers set tc
work to regain their supremacy
This they did by discovering how te
make colorcd glass, or rather by reds
covering the old process and popular
izing it. As a result we have to-day
the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass
which is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamentation of so
styled jcwelsr-that is, imitation Of
pearls, rubies, emoralds and parnets il
coiored glass. The result is often 6
brilliant medley that will hardly beal
