BERLIN RESPONDS
 ID NEW YORK RISE
Former 0bedientIy Bulls Market
 and Latter Realizes
AMERICAN COMPETITION
Germans Fear Result of Increased Iron Production in This coun. try-Ease of Money Mar
 ket Continues.

Berlin, November 1.-The redemption of Northern Pacific stock by the North ern Securities Company and the iron re- port, both American matters, were sub jects of foremost interest on the boerse during the last week.
 In It's financial article the Kreuz Zei- tung says the influence of the New York stock exchange and the United States generally continue to be very strongly felt here. An advance In New York quotations, this paper says, regularly causes a corresponding rise in Berlin the following day, and Berlin obediently bulls the market when New York real izes.
 But, concludes the paper, the American danger draws nearer.
 The redemption of Northern Pacific preferred at par caused considerable dis appointment among German speculators, who expected this redemption to be ef fected at 115. General regret is expressed at the disappearance of Northern Pacific preferred from the German market, as this stock has always been one of the most active securities on the Frankfuert and Berlin boerses.
 A strong American iron market i'm parted strength to German irons during the week, notwithstanding reports that domestic conditions in iron continue bad
 The Frankfuerter Zeitung, speaking of iron, says:
 "The danger of American competition in the German iron market is rapidly growing. Of course the American de- mand is at present so strong that i'm ports from the United States are i'm possible, but the time Is probably not far distant when the United States will throw her product not only on the mar kets of the world, but will also begin competition in Germany"
 Irons rose strong yesterday because of the American reports which caused the shorts to cover. Rises during the mast week in irons averaged 19 points. The Cologne Volks zeitung says the siegen furnaces have reduced the price of pud- ding iron from 90 to 60 marks per ton
 The ease of the money market con tinues. The rate of foreign exchange is firm.

ENGLISH MARKETS
 REMAIN STAGNANT
CHEERFUL SPEECHES AND LACK OF BAD NEWS FROM AFRICA FAIL TO START AN UPWARD MOVEMENT.

London, November 17.-In spite of vari- ous happenings which a rise in stock exchange quotations was confidently pre- dicted, the conditions of affairs at the end of the week has not materially i'm proved. Neither the Northern Pacific nor the Franco-Turkish settlements, the cheerful speeches of Lord Salisbury and MT. Frederick, nor the lack of serious news from South Africa served to impart exchange.
 Up to the present time the cable ad- vices have failed to satisfy operators as to exactly what the Northern Pacific settlement means and the published de- tails had a rather depressing effect. American securities closed the week de- cidedly off all around.
 Critics point out that the continued gold shipments from the United States indicate that New York's resources are decidedly strained considering the mag nitude of the various financial projects afoot in Wall street. consequently the m embers of the London exchange are in- clined to hold off rather than stake any thing upon a tentative American boom.
 President Roosevelt enters somewhat into London's calculations. The rumors of stringent antitrust measures which would break up many of the existing combinations, supposed to be recommend ed in the Presidents message cause here the keenest anxiety. In the meanwhile money is by no means plentiful. Dis count rates were steady. The actual transactions on the stock exchange were insignificant. Home rails were dead and mining shares almost all declined frac- tionaly Industrials generally suffered in sympathy with the tobacco war which is daily assuming a more bitter aspect.

FIRE STILL RACES
 IN THE BABY MINES
GREAT DEMAND FOR PIPE AND HOSE IN FIGHTING THE FIRE. NINE DEAD BODIES HAVE BEEN RECOVERED so FAR.

Bluefield, W. Va, November 17-Up to this time no other dead bodies have been recovered from the Pocahontas mines disaster, but several may be added to the list, which now numbers nine, as there are two or three miners unaccounted for. The mine Is still burning f1ercely and for the past twenty-four hours very little has been accomplished in the way of searching the mine for those who are still missing. It was supposed last night that the fire would have been under control by this afternoon, but it was found this morning that a large quantity of pipe and hose was yet needed in or der to reach the fire.
 This morning the wholesale hardware establishments of this place were called on for all their pipes and hose available and passenger trains were held here for the purpose of rushing this material to the scene of the disaster. The mine off, cials are sparing neither effort nor ex- pense in caring for the injured, burying the dead and extinguishing the flames. It is now hoped with the relief gangs from other mines, operations to get the fire under control by tomorrow aft ernoon, though it is hardly probable that 1t will be entirely extinguished for possibly a week. as 1t is draft mine and it will be almost impossible to flood 1t.

BRIGANDS UNABLE
 TO AGREE ON PRICE
EVERY DAYS DELAY IMPERILS MISS STONES LIFE, NOT ON AC- COUNT OF BRIGANDs BUT THROUGH EXPOSURE.

Sofia, Bulgaria, November 1.-The brigands who abducted Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, and Mime. Tsika, her companion, have not yet replied to the latest proposals of MT. Dickinson, diplomatic agent of the United States in Sofia. This is believed to be due to the fact that the band has many leaders and that the latter are unable to agree among themselves.
 There is general impression here that time is being frittered away while wait ing for the brigands to reduce their de- mands. It is felt that the only means by which matters can be brought to g. head Is to inform them as to the sum available for ransom and to declare that this cannot be increased for any consid- eration whatever Such an ultimatum might endanger the life of Miss Stone but it is more probable that the brig ands will accept this condition.
 Besides every days delay imperils her life, not so much on the scores of the brigands themselves but by reason of the exposure and strain she is undergo ing,

BETTER BUSINESS
 IN MANCHESTER
MANY SELLERS REPORT A sATiS. FACTORY WEEKS TURNOVER, CHINA BUYING LITERALLY AT FAIR PRICES.

Manchester, November IA better demand for cloth in some directions re- suited in rather increasing business dur ing the past week and many sellers re- port satisfactory weeks turn over.
 Some effort is being made in several charters to revive the Indian demand but without much appearance of suc- cess.
 China has been buying literally and the order books of many producers are filled for four months ahead
 Shippers to the Levant and South America have taken a fair amount of business at recent rates, nevertheless the price of raw cotton is regarded as too high to maintain the generally improved demand.
 Yarns were more active at poor prices and buyers do not appear to be anxious to secure supplies in advance.

 4 NEW REPUBLIC Miners in Northwest Territory
 Smuggle in Arms DAWSON TO BE CAPITAL Officials Hold Hurried Conference Lasting Until Midnlght-con-
 spirators Rely on Climate
 as Protection.
DAWSON TO BE CAPITAL

San Francisco, November T-The Call today prints an unconfirmed story from | Skagway, Alaska, under date of Novem- Der G. telling of the discovery of what is alleged to be huge conspiracy existing in Dawson and extending to Skagway, Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle for the overthrow of the local government of the Northwest Territory and the establish ment of republic with Dawson as its capital.
 According to the details of the story, arms, ammunition and provisions have been taken in over the railroad and cached at strategic points. Prominent American residents of Skagway are said to be ring-leaders in the conspiracy. Miners to the number of 5000 are said to await the summons to arms ready to fight for the independence from Dominion rule of the gold fields, camps and towns.
 Plan of conspirators.
 The plan is to overpower the mounted police, arrest the civil authorities and take the government into their own hands. The rigors of the Arctic winters WOulQ give lue uISSlllo plA HlOhtiAS immunity from attack by Canadian or British troops and the adventurous arch conspirators hope for intervention or outside assistance by the time the melt ing of Ice and snow will permit the in vasion of their isolated republic.
 It is further related that a hurried con ference lasting until midnight, was held at Skagway November 5. at which were present Captain Corrigan of the North west mounted police, who had arrived from across the Canadian border late that evening Judge Brown of the Unit ed States district court, United States Marshal Shoupe, United States Attorney Frederick and Major Hovey, command ing the United States troops at Skagway, attended the meeting. This was the last of several nasty consultations between the civil and military representatives of the two powers in relation to the mysteri- ous transportation of supplies into the interior, and rumors of a conspiracy to lead the miners in a revolt against Can adian government in the Northwest Territory.
