powering him and binding, beating

Wall Street.

Business Of the Money Brokers in
Wall Street.
In Wall street the money broker is
rather an important parsonage. He is
the man who brings the borrower and
the lender together. His business is
distinct from any other in Wall street,
and, as rule, it returns a handsome
profit.
There are 1000 or 5000 stockbrok-
ers in the Wall street district, but
there are only about half a dozen
money brokers who make a specially
of lending money for the banks and
the bankers. It is practically true
that all the millions of dollars lent by
the banks on the stock exchange are
handled by these six men. And one
of them does as much business as all
the others combined, or more. His
name is Howard P. rockingham. He
is little chap, with reddish brown
hair and mustache and sharp black
eyes which look out through big eye.
glasses.
From the time rockingham reaches
Wall street in the morning until he
leaves there in the afternoon he moves
about the district as he were hung on
springs. He has short, nervous
stride, and when in motion he ap-

PAY THE INTEREST.
Agricultural College Bond Fund Gets
A Raise.

Agricultural College Bond Fund Gets
A Raise.
Cash was paid into the agricultural
college bond fund yesterday by State
Land Register Thomas D Long which
will deprive the holders of bonds
against tnat fund of a large part of
their grievance, says the Helena Rec
ord. Since July 1899 they have been
given interest bearing warrants in
payment of the interest on their
bonds, and they have been complain
ing because they did not get the cash.
These warrants will shortly be re-
deemed by the payment of both prin-
cipal and interest.
This was made possible by the pay.
ment of $4,000 by the Big Blackfoot
Milling company as an advance install
ment on timber which it has bought
from the agricultural college and deaf
and blind scnool grants. The com.
pany asked for an extension of the
time allowed for the removal of the
timber from the land. The board of
state land commissioners, having in
mind the need of money to pay the in
terest on the agricultural college
bonds, granted it in consideration of
the payment Of $4,000.
OF this sum $4,000 goes to the credit
of the agricultural college bond fund
and is practically the entire value
of the timber to be cut from the grant
to that institution. The remaining
$4,000 goes to- the deaf and dumb
school fund.
There is now due in interest on the
agricultural college bonds $10,616.99,
to which must sbe added interest on
the warrants issued for this sum. The
cash on hand to pay this sum now
amounts to $8,893, which will more
than pay the interest due to January
l, 1901. and leave a balance on hand
Another interest coupon falls due in
July, and the fund will still be devoid
of money to pay this and that due
last January.
The total amount paid over to State
Treasurer Barret yesterday by Mr.
Long was $11.613.97.

Colon, Nov. 27.-The Colombian gun

harbor in the morning. Her commander
said there were only 100 men out of the
original 600 troops carried by the vessel
now on board the gunboat. The Others
had been landed at Porto Bello, about 10
miles distant from Colon. The presnmp-
ton is that the 500 men are marching
overland TO join the government forces
under General Alban, now ut Mamei. The
ground they have to cover is difficult and
the troops will doubtless occupy few
