NEW YORK. April 20.-There was again
an absence Of any developments Of import
auce or Of any material change in fuuja-
mental conditions in todavs situation.
Only a few interesting statements Of earn
ings were submitted. Sterling exchange

market to alter their opinion that barring

market conditions
London furnished a higher range Of
prices for American stocks, but dealt
sparingly in this market and the transac-
tons for foreign account on balance were
inconsiderably on the buying side. The
market opened with a very uncertain tone,
which It retained during the early dealings.
but after the first hour general steadiless
developed which was most pronounced in
the railway list. The fluctuations in the
so-oalled steel industrials continued wide,
but most Of them recorded substantial
gains with the course OF the morning.
The local traction issues also showed
more pronounced strength than for a num-
Der OF days. and also greater animation.
There was. however. virtually nothing
that was new attending the course Of these
stocks. Other prominent movements in
the railway list were in New York Central,
Pennsylvania. the grsngers. Southern Pa
cifc, and Chesapeake and Ohio. The course
OF prices in the general market continued
to be characterized by some irregularity.
The severe break IN Steel and Wire was
attended by reports that the conservative
element Of the board intended to resign
and leave the control Of the affairs of the
company entirely in the hands Of the in
terests which have been responsible for
recent developments.

Apparently the stock market Will close
the week strong with a fine change OF
sentiment from that ruling on Monday
when the break in the steel group began.
Prices yesterday were strong an day and
In some groups there was even fine
buoyancy. The buying for cliques was re-
sumed and the bears were much less con
hdent than in the earlier days Of the week.
II seems evident that the steel scare is

cality as that exhibited by the ringleaders
Of the raid on Steel and Wire and Federal
steel might have had a widespread and
lasting bad effect. That il did not can be
attributed only 10 the great inherent
strength OF the market and the confidence
OF the holders Of securities. The outlook
is for a better market next week and
possibly for a resumption Of the upward
movement on frmer footing than at
any time before A shaking out OF weak
holdings has often been the best thing
for bull market in times past To-day

and the probability is that IL will be
even better than that Of last week. The
gain in cash from the Treasury dur
ing the week has been very near If not
quite 81 000, 600. London was a purchaser
Of American stocks yesterday, as was
also the Continent.

SANTIAGO DE CHILE.
BY MARIAN SMITH.

Santiago, October 10, 1900.
1t is said that in spite Of the healthy
location, climate and water supply the
mortality Of this city is three times that
of London, and that under ordinary cir
cumstances q child born here has but
one chance in seven for life. just now
this death rate is increased by epidem-
les of measles and typhoid fever. which,
with their complications, leave hardly
household without anxiety for some Of
its members. Last month five hundred
deaths were reported from measles alone
and five thousand children were said to
be ill with them, causing public schools
and liceas to be closed for the present
week.
Healthfulness has little to do with

OF her, Madam, what do you call your
sslf?"
Perhaps this epidemic Of curiosity is
only source of amusement to its OBJ
isct. l can quite fancy her peeping elf
like through the lilsc-hedges that guard
her fairyland. laughing at her perplexed
hordes of admirers!
1t is not very strange that suspicion
should have first lighted where it did.
Any one who owns photograph OF the
Princess Pless may see in the lovely and
mischievous features Of that spirited
young woman much the sort Of face
that he would expect Of Elizabeth-re-
fined and vivacious, though the type OF
one whom the world and it's gsuds are
considerably more attractive than flow
er NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. than solitude.
But the publishers say no, and suspic-
ion goes lowering elsewhere.
A letter in the Times Review Of New
York announces with q conclusive air
that Elizabeth is the daughter Of an
Englishman, that her mother was an
Australian and her childhood was passed
in Australia. II that be true, it may
account for various things 10 her books
that puzzle the observant reader. Aus
tralia is an unknown quantity to the
mass Of Americ ans; my own ignorance
about it is immense; but l always
thought of it as being chiefly British in
atmosphere, slightly tainted iii you will
permit the word) by other nationalities.
And that is just the way the SOLITARY
Summer" and the German Garden"
have impressed me. Their language is
nearly perfect; the correctness Of
Queens English" most Of the time,
with certain ''rangy," breezy quality
that is generally thought more Ameri-
can than English. Indeed. my first
conviction on making acquaintance with
these books, was that they must have
been written by highly educated
American with a remarkable feeling for
Nature.
How in the world anybody could i'm
agine Elizabeth to be a German is be-
yond understanding! II anyone born
and educated in country not English
speaking should make such use Of the
Engllsh language as Elizabeth does in
her books, it would be, in brief, mira
Gle. 1t is inconceivable that German,
brought up in Germany, could even by
any chance become so saturated with
our idiom. Nor would it be- at all usu-
al for German child, as the artful Eliz-
abeth paints herself, to receive such
thorough initiation into both the Eng
lish and French languages. She would
perhaps study them with her governees,
and learn to read and speaK them; but
to make them part of herself, like her
own-hardly.
That very insIstence on her German
extraction makes US suspicious OF our
fair Unknown. Why does she remind
us so assiduously that she is ''ohly an
ordinary German woman"-"a respect
able German lady"-'a humble Ger
many. 8. VIZ" Why, oh, you re-
spectacle German lady, do you write
your charming, geistreiche chapters in
English? why, at any rate, do you write
them 80 we'll?

doubtedly because, as a child, my

sweetest scent can recall; the accents
OF those who lighted them year after

and year by year did Undines and

little New England brain. know that
the German speech is supposed to fall
harshIy, sometimes comically, on Saxon
and Latin ears; and belize it may on

Further, how many German Fraus
may be- supposed to realize the unques-
toned deficiencies of their lords and
masters in the superb :ial graces of the
cavalier? Elizabeth may accept with
meekness (sic) the somewhat medieval
views of her beloved Man of Wrath on
the feminine status. and she apparently
