Investigated certain advices which emanat-
Ell from South Africa some time ago to the
effect that the British and colonial troops
there prefer Australian meat to that i'm

other.
Consul General Stowe also states that he
has made inquiries among the export COM
mission houses which place orders in the
United States for the supply of the trade

GOVERNOR BRADYS REPORT
ALASKA, HE SAYS. HAS GOOD LAWS
NOW.
Good Order Maintained at Nome I'm
der Trying Circumstances-De-
crease of the Seals.

"This district is now blessed with body
| Of good laws" says Governor John G.
Brady of Alaska in his annual report TO the
Secretary of the Interior. He had refer
ence to the act of March 3. 1899. which has
been in operation since July 1. 1899.
Governor Brady says there Is some OBJ
lection to the section of the act which re-
quires business men and traders to take
out licenses, as it is claimed that it IS I'M
constitutional
Good Order at Nome.
Speaking of the conditions of the court
at Nome, the report says:
Never was man sent to fill more try
ing position than Judge Arthur H. Noyes
Is now filling at Cape Nome. Everybody
and everything is pellmell. There are sew
eIal claimants for each town lot. beach
claim and creek claim-25. 900 people wait
part of the world outside of the United
states could so many people assemble to-
gether, and under such feeble restraint be
found and at the same time we'll be-
haved? Men went there to seek fortunes by
mining, by trade and by gambling.
Ali were living at a high pressure Of ex-
citement. yet there was but a small number
Of cases of violence. There was good list
OF undesirable characters from all quarters
of the globe, but the number Of those who
love order was far larger than those who
rejoice in uproar and anarchy. 1t speaks
well for the home training. and is certainly
a fine illustration of our Institutions
The report says the whole southern coast
from Unaaska to Yakutat is without pro-
lection. An appeal for suitable land laws
for Alaska Is made.
The Seal Industry.
Speaking of the seal industry, the report
says that 24OOO pelts were taken during
the last year, and that at that rate the
industry will soon cease altogether All
evidence is to the effect that the herds are
smaller each year.
In last years report" Governor Brady
says. 1.-The branding of all the females was
urged as final effort to preserve the rock
cries from the destructive methods of the
Canadian pelagic sealers A wall went up
from the owners of these vessels centered
at Victoria that this was a most inhuman
practice. We would expect just such a re-
frain If 80 per cent Of the catch of their
vessels was rendered valueless by this
| method of branding. The tests which have
cred satisfactory or conclusive, for they
have been performed clumsily with the rud-
est appliances, and by persons Of little or
no experience.
IF the department determines to attempt
a further test, few experts should be Sc
lected and the whole business intrusted to
them. Many are in favor Of killing off all
the herds and going out of the business al
together. This would be a pity, but more
would favor it rather than have our gov
eminent buy up ali the Canadian hulks at
| fancy prices. which have been engaged in
this work of destruction. We are at a loss
to understand why Great Britain will be-
had 50 benefit out of the industry to 81 for

LONDON, November 23.-Dr. Morrison
wiring to the Times from Pekin, Tuesday
says:
''The appointment of Yu Chang as gov
ernor of the province of HUI Pei has been
Cancelled. This was due to the strenuous
British protest. Ching Hsing, treasurer
of the province of Ho Man. who has been
appointed in his place. is regarded as all
most equally Objectionable.
THE foreign ENJOYS have agreed that
the consistent bad faith which the Chi
nese have shown in disseminating abroad
misleading intelligence shall be recorded
In the preamble to the conjoint note"
1T Is reported that Chinese troops have
repulsed German expedition, but no de-
tails have been received"
Nine of the foreign ENJOYS" says the
Pekin correspondent of the Morning Post
wiring yesterday. have written strong
letters denouncing the punishment edict and
declaring that Tung Flu Hsiang must be
punished. DR.. Mumm Won Schwartzenstein
the German minister, has told Lii Hung
Chang that the foreign powers must them
selves punish the guilty officials"
A dispatch from Berlin says: The press
In general severely criticises the United
States for not agreeing to the demands of
Leitung, which claims that the Chinese are
only Induced by the American attitude to
remain obdurate, says: 1T would be i'm
possible to aid more effectualy the Joint
enemy of western culture"
The Berliner Tageblatt remarks: 1.-THE
Philippine question is causing the United
States severe stomach-ache: hence the
shilly-shally policy Of Washington toward
China"
The Cologne Volks Zeitung the leading
centrist organ, says editorially today:
Count Won Buelow will not succeed In re-
straining the kaiser from making extrava-
giant speeches If he had been able to do
so. he undoubtedly would have prevented
the delivery of the no pardon speech"
The speakers In the reichstag today dur
ing the debate on the government China
policy, except the peoples party and social
democrats, declared themselves to be in
general agreement with the Chinese policy
OF the government. Bavaria's representa-
tive in the federal council said the feder-
ated governments all approved the China
policy last summer.
All the speakers pronounced sharply
against the world policy proclaimed by
Emperor William.

Sharp Reactionary Movement in
Stocks Today.
STRONG BEAR CLIQUE IN EVIDENCE
The Traction Group Was One
Object Of Attack.
GENERAL MARKET REPOR rs
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. November 93-Thc reac-
tionary tendency noted at the close Of ves-
terday's market was in evidence during the
entire forenoon today. London was in
clined to sell a few stocks. the unconttrme,F
rumors of the death of the car having had
a depressing influence on all foreign mar
kets.
The decline in the local market was start
ed by group of traders hitherto identified
largely with the steel stocks
The break in American Steel and Wire
was well-planned scheme for shaking out
long stock In such issues "a had been most
prominent in the recent rise. Northern Pa :.
cttic, Union Pacific and Atchison We're all
sold by houses with western connections as
we'll as by local pools. The demand from
commission houses slackened noticeably and
profit-taking set in instead
The fear that profits would disappear "a
readily as they were made caused many
conservative operators to sell during thu,
early stages of the decline The market
was not positively weak one the decline
being entirely natural and by many thor
oughly welcomed.
The Traction shares sold off in svmpathv
with the movement elsewhere and inside
interests were apparently unConcerned
with the movement. The original move
mert In these shares has not been abauy
dcned and the buying on the decline is as
sured of being good.
The consolidation idea has taken firm hold
of the downtown community, and sethacks
in the stocks and qualified denials will not
shake confidence in the ultimate happening
of the only business proposition in sight
The investment shares Were inclined ia
be irregular, but on the whole were Welt
sustained
The industrial shares moved erratically
in sympathy with the decline in the steel
stocks, but showed no greater weakness
than the railroads. Amalgamated Copper
was admitted to the trading in the unlisted
department for the first time today The
course of the stock was uncertain for
time. In view of the fact that its sponsors
were trying to hold 1t up In an unsympa -
thetic market.
The property will probably be very prom
inent IN future dealings. the strong stan
Gard Oh interest make effective back
ground for large transactions and wide
nuctuations.
The known movement of money during
the week would indicate that the banks
nave gained about si,Jo0,ooo In cash. the
bulk of II from the subtreasury
This would indicate good bank state
ment tomorrow and continued ease in the
money market. Present declines should
be regalned If these predictions are verified.
