supposed to be situate somewhere in
the wilds of New Jersey, though he
has been discovered in other less re-
mote regions, he has been discussed in
vague way by editors and orators.
They left no doubt of the h0rribleness
of the monster, but it remained for an
Ariz0nian to discover his seductive
and fatally soothing side. A gentle
man by the name of Yavapai, writing
from Prescott under the date CT
August 27, to a newspaper of this
town, which communication was
printed on Monday, August %, de-
scribes IAN octopus whose tentarles
are reaching out all over, trying to
lull the people to sleep with a siren
song" If this is net mixed metaphor
Mr.. YavaEai, whoever he is,
Las made a horrible discovery
which will impress the St Louis
and Chicago meetings that they
have not assembled too soon to save
the country. Mr.. Yavapai's style
leaves a slight but not material doubt
regarding his meaning. That is to
say, it is not clear whether it is the
octopus or his tentacles that sing the
fatal siren song But that can make

THE SNAKE DANCERS
Peculiar Rites and Customs
of the MOqui Indians.
A Partial Description of Their ReIigi-
GUS Belief and Secret Cere-
monIaIS as Witnessed by Dr..
]. Miller of Phoenix.
CONTINUED From Yesterday

The meetings of these secret orders
for the comforting of degrees are only
held annually, though in the absence
of Badher knowledge on the SubjecI 1t
is only reasonable to presume that
the priests and chief hold frequent con-
situations for the good of the order.
When the annual ceremonial season
approaches all is hustle and activity
for the events that are to follow. Some
are busy gathering the snakes from the
four cardinal points, others are en-
gagged in arranging the paraphernalia
Of the degree work and setting the
kivas in order Quite likely others
who have Lectures and charges to de-
liver are busy Iehear5ing their
ra.'-s while the prayer sticks
are closely guardsd. Still others
are chanting 20 themselves the songs
of the ceremonials, CT which there are
quite number, some being sung as
solos and some in choruses.
Then comes the degree work in the
kivaS, CT which little can be given, as
it is for the most part unknown except
to those who are sworn to secrecy
In the Antelope kiva there is what is
known as the sand altar. 1t is de-
scrlbed at considerable length in one
of the published works on ethnC1Ogy,
Ibul. consists principally Of little OBJ
long place covered with white sand,
SGo1nd the borders Of which numer-
Gus prayer sticks and other symbols
are placed, .5he meaning of which Is
known only TO the initiated. Du1ing
the ceremony, or rather toward its
close, as parting Injunction DIR. Mil
Ter says he was requested, among other
things, to annually visit the Salt river
at IS widest convenient place and Of
fer up q. prayer which was taught him,
thsCwing his sacrifice into the water.
The theory from which this custom
had its origin is that plentiful rains
follow as a result CT the faithfulnesS
CT the Antelope priests in the annual
Observance of .s1le rain prayers and
the gifts to the rain gods. As the
priests are derelict, 50 follows drouth
and famine. In addition to the pray
o-s uttered in the kivas all faithful
priests az a certain season will wis.,
some water course and go through the
performance enjOine1 upon the doc
ter. 1t is believed that the larger the
body of water, the more effectual viii
that particular prayer be, or, to BE-
more explicit, the greater will be the
quantity OF rain to follow. This sug-
gests that they have some knowledge
Of evaporation and the subsequent
condensation OF vapors which causes
the rains Laser On and also accounts
fcr their great VeneratiOn for the
ocean. They prize very highly water

THE OCTOPUS SONG

Literature of ffuSiC.

Two great meets are going to te
held shortly, one in ST. Louis at the
instance of Governor Sayers of Texas,
and the other in Chicago, for the pur-
pose of starting out en- hunts for the
determination of octopuses. The i'm
portance of the ST. Louis meet, land
the Chicago gathering is no doubt
equally important) is indicated in the
circumstance that all the governors
and attorneys generals CT all the states
and territories are invited and ex-
pected to be present. One can fancy
the breaking up of the meet and the
beginning Of the chase, the -quadru-

pun Still On second thought
this quotation from the descrip-
tion of another famous chase
is not quite aprOpcs. Governors
and attorney generals do not have

dUce a four-footed sound in their mad
pursuit of the octopuses.

Your correspondent is able to say on

ms they must have been. Agulnnldo. ns
the recognized head Of the insurgent
movement, declined to yield. He in-
sisted upon immediate self-government,
and as mis- insistence was so Arm rs to
make an agreement impossible the
American commissioners ceased nego-

President schurman was frank in
telling your correspondent a day or two
ago that he favored giving to the vart-
Gus tribes the largest possible measure
OF home rule at .Ie earliest moment.
He thought the several tribes could
adminlster their local affairs, elect their
municipal officers, establish courts and
penal Institutions, judiciary, etc, but

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Sept. 15.-1t is
said Mt the war department that the
return of the two members of the Phil
ippine commission remaining in Manila,
Messrs. DENLY and Worcester is in or
der to advise the President respecting
the very latest aspect Of nffairs 80 that
he may use the information in his mes

ton conveyed that the advices brought
by President Schurinan and Senator
Beveridge and other persons recently
returned from Manila are not at all
points in strict accord, though the
Items OF divergence are not known be-
yQnd the white house.
II is said that as Admiral Dewey is
nearing the United States, the opportu-
nifty to have meeting of the full Phil-
ipplne commission Of which he is n
member, is one that should not be lost,
and the report that may be expected to
sum up their work will be Indispensable

BOSTON, Sept. 15.-The Commercial
Bulletin tomorrow will say:
There has been busy, booming mar
kct for wool this week and the actual
sales have npproxlmated nearly ten
million pounds. The buying has been
done mainly by the American wooden
company and other large consumers,
but there has been also a good repre-
sentatlon of the smaller mills. Tho
buying, too, has been for consumption,
not on speculation, and prices are cor
rcspondlngly frmer. As the time OF
the London auctions next Tuesday
draws near not only dealers but con-
sumers look for an advance In prices,
and 1t is the desire to anticipate this
that has carried the snles TO such an
enormous figure this week. Another
bull card Is the published statement OF
tho American woolen Company that 30
per cent OF the output OF It's mill has
been disposed or and the goods taken
out OF the market. worsted mnnutnc-
turers also report roseate outlook
for next spring. In short there hardly

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The following
resolutions drafted by the antitrust

Whereas, trusts and industrial COM
