YELLOW MEN IN SIBERIA.
Chinese Said to he Overlooking Into
Asiatic Russia.

Recent Investigations have shown that
while the emigration to Siberia has been
considerable 1t has been neither perma-
nent nor beneficial. In 1899. according to
a recent consular report, 1t amounted to
o23, 9S1 souls, but in the first six months
of the same year over $4,000 returned pen
niless to Russia, having failed to find a
livelihood Those who remained are de-
scribed as pauperized by their privileges
and doing little or nothing to develop the
country. On the other hand, the Chinese
are everywhere overrunning the land As
the white men either objects to work alto
gether or requires excessive wages. Chi
nese labor has become n necessity. On all
the public works it is employed, being paid
less than half the price of white labor.
In the wake of the workman comes the
Chinese peddler, and even the Chinese
merchant. The movement is fed by an i'm
migration and colonization scheme found
ed by the Chinese Government in Man.
churia and Mongolia, which has proved
far more successful than the similar Rus
sian organization in Siberia. At one time
it was thought that, owing to the facility
with which the Russians consorted with
the Asiatics, the result Of this immigra-
ton would be the Slavizing OF the Chinese
1t now seems more probably that the Chi
nese will absorb the Slavs. very dis
tinguished Russian traveller told me last
year that on the frontier the Russian COL
onists had already forgotten their own
tongue, while in Irkutsk pigeon Russian
is freely spoken. .'In short" he added.
while we Russians have been meditating
the political conquest of China, the Chi
nese have begun the economic conquest Of
Siberia" The worst of 1t Is that Russia
has no remedy at hand. for she cannot ex-
clude Chinese immigration without COM
promising the economic progress Of ST.
IBERIA and abandoning her friendly policy
at Pekin.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness. and that Is
10y constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an iniamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and when
1t is entirely closed deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh which is nothing but an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

but their margins also, by pyramiding.
This is not a guess. 1t is the thing that
always happens. The moral in this is not
TO pyramid. Some of the most important
people in the financial world are enthu-
siastic bulls at the present time but they
take profits at times. nevertheless. and
they always carry excellent margins. Re-
actions come in all markets.
Among the good things of the past week
that have helped to put prices up and to
make new buyers of stocks have been:

In the language of the street, this is
"a genuine bull market" There has been
nothing like 1t for two years and moth
ing equal to 1t ever before in the history
of Wall Street. The public is buying
stocks by the millions of shares. and as
far a. anyone can see IL has only begun
to buy at that. II has been waiting for
many months to invest its money, and
now has broken out in a flood. Business
IL larger than ever before. Already the
facilities OF the exchange are inadequate
to record the transactions. The brokers'
ofices cannot fill their orders. Stocks
are sold at the same time on the floor Of
the exchange at widely different prices.
The advance In prices has been rapid and
great. The level at the close yesterday
VAS many points above that Of week ego,
and last weeks level was quite as great
an advance over that of the Monday be-
fore election. And with this sharp adj
vance Il must be remembered that already
before the election there had been a gain
- many points since the low prices Of last
s,rn,mer. The railway list has an av-
ersge Ievel higher than IL ! q W

Prices are expected to advance a long
way yet. The top of the boom of 1900 has

The following table illustrates the
gains in the recent advance. 1t will be
seen that despite the recession of the
enrlg part of the past week prices have
made good net Improvement. The total
gain since the election is also shown ap-
proximately. The railway list in general
has made 4 better showing proportionate-
ly than the industrial list this week,
while the industrials were more the fea-
ture than before. On the whole the ad-
yances have been along logical lines and
of a character that illustrates very we'll

most prominent securities have been the
most sought after and have had the larg
est gains. One or two of the coalers have
held back in 4 somewhat unaccountable

ii is active. There is nothing new 1e-
garding the company or its stock, but pro-
fessionals say that sharp advance should
be looked for in Sugar in the near fu-
ture. 1t is not to be supposed that the
astutc clique that usually milks the public
with this stock will remain out of the
market during such an important boom.
And manifestly there would be little to
gain by letting Sugar go off. An advance
of 20 points in any week would not be
surprising.
The grangers have been the features
of the past few days and Atchison pre-
ferred has led this group at pace never
before attained by it in its long and very
steady boom from 80. Several weeks ago
a confident upholder of Atchison made
the statement that he expected 10 see tne
stock sell at so this winter. 1t was then
at 60 or Whereabouts. His expectations
have been filled much quicker than he
looked for, probably. Now it is sid that
the stock should reach par. and this Looks

The statement of an officer of the COM
rany recently that z per cent is being
earned on this common stock makes the
desire for these securities easy to explain.
St Paul has been strong despite de-
