NEW YORK. January 31.-Com-
mercial Advertisers London financial
~cablegram:
Business on the stock exchange was
pretty good to-day. The tone was
much more satisfactory, now since
the settlement has been concluded
without any fresh outbreaks of the
troubles from the west Australian
smash. 1t is hoped now that this is
all over. The failure of the bank to
reduce the bank rate had no effect
whatever.
The American department was
cheerful at the opening, trading grew
more and more brisk and after a ses-
sion which was active throughout
closed at the liveliest with prices at
the best. The lead came from New
York whence there were many buy
ing orders, especially in the Union Pa
ciic issues. These shares and the
Southern Pacifics were in great de-
mand on the contamination of the
Mobile & Ohio deal.
Money continued to be stiff on the
end of the month demand and re-
quirements for settlement. Call loans
were made at Az. The bank lent
large sums of 81. Bills were 4 lie
on the strength of Paris exchange.
The bank declined to make a spe-
cial offer to New York for gold on the
ground that there is such a limited
market for eagles that they have to
be melted down to be sold.
The announcement here that New
York stock exchange will close on
Saturday out of respect for the dead
queen was much appreciated.

THAT WINTER LEAGUE CUP

The Advertiser of this morning
keeps very quiet about the baseball
cup matter which was discussed at last
nights meeting Of the Winter Base
ball League. II will be remembered
that the Advertiser came out with q
broad statement to the effect that the
man who put up the cup. VIM. Cum
bingham, had string on II and that 1t
was the proposition to hold the cup.
making it condition that the winner
Of the trophy should have to come out
Us the peDnant winner during two sue
cessive seasons.
Nothing of the kind was ever In
tended and. like the $1,000 challenge Of
irresponsible parties, 1t falls to the
ground with dull sickening thud. At
the meeting last night. Charles Chill
lngworth, as president OF the league,
stated that the cup would go to the
winner of this seasons championship
as had been originally intended by the
donor, Mr.. Cunningham. There had
not been any dispute on the matter and
Mr.. Cunningham had left the whole
thing in the hands OF the president OF
the league.

arrival of the United States revenue
cutter Bear from the north comes
news of another tragedy in the Arctic

disappearance of the schooner Hal.

The schooner Halcyon sailed from
Seattle early in 1900 on trading and
prospecting cruise In the north. hav-
ing on board six persons-Captain
Charles Thonias and Louis Picotte,

While the schooner was drifting

Young left the schooner in small

reaching shore near rOpkuk. The
other two. preferrng to take chances
where they had provisions, remained
with the schooner. Later her condi
ton seemed more serious and Captain
Thomas ana Egan abandoned her and
succeeded in reaching an island, bring
ing with them what provisions they
could carry. Capt. in Thomas found
the island uninhab'ted. and. against
the protests of Egan, returned to the
vessel. Since that time nothing has
been heard of the schooner or Captain
Thomas.
Egan, after being left alone on the
island. wandered up along the north
crn shore. With supplies exhausted

dition with his feet frozen, he was
rescued when within forty miles of

to the mission. arriving there sixteen

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
Meeting of the Executive Commit
Held Yesterday Afternoon.

Meeting Of the Executive Committee
Held Yesterday Afternoon.
At the weekly meeting Of the executive
committee Of the Anti-Saloon League Of the
District of Columbia. held at 4:15 p. m. yes
terday, correspondence with reference to
the proposed outing at Chautauqua Beach
was read and the subject discussed. In
view of inability on the part of the chancel-
lor, DR.. Mclean, to secure the presence of
Rev. Dr. Grammar of Baltimore on the day
appointed, the proposed visit August 16 was
abandoned, and the president of the league
was authorized to arrange, If practica ble
for a day in September.
The committee met at the Office of the
president, James l.. Ewfn. in the Washing
ton Loan and Trust building. Others pres
ent were the acting secretary, Robert E.
Shoemaker, Owen P. Kellar and Hermon C.
Metcalf Mr.. Metcalf reported progress as
a special committee on Office accommoda-
tions for the league.
Mr.. Shoemaker, as attorney for the
league, reported that some dissatisfa ctfon
of the excise board with reference to the
claims on behalf of the league at it's meet
ing Sunday evening in Vermont Avenue
Christian Church. 1t was explained in re-
ply that the fact that comparatively little
could have been accomplished without the
concurrence of the excise board was fully
appreciated, and that what was meant by
the claims of credit belonging to the league
and its affiliated bodies for the beneficial
reduction of the number of licensed places
for the sale of Intoxicating drinks was that
even the excise board could not have eff
fected such reduction without the manifes-
tation OF public sentiment in that behalf
which has been presented to the board by
and by its work from day to day and from
year to year.

Kitchener's Proclamation.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


I fear The Star undertakes "Kitchener's
threat" I believe he means every word Of
1t. and believe also he intends strictly to
execute it 70 the very letter, as he did his
threat to arm the wild tribes on the north
Of the Beers to aid the British to subdue
them. This is repetition of the English
course in Acadia" in all It's savagery.
and could not be carried to q cossumma-
tion without universal protest any ma
ton but England. England has had a
monopoly OF such methods SO long the
world has ceased to pay any attention to
nation more advanced in civilization dared
practice such barbarism England would
have been loud in denouncing II. and every
