CAPERS OF COPPER
IRJURE THE MARKET

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE erratic fiuc-
tuations in Amalgamated Copper have
been an unsettling and repressive tnnu-
ence In the stock market all week.
But the general market has made good
Roadway towards higher prices after
some early depression.
The growth of confidence In the money
outlook, owing to the passing of the time
for gold shipments which would be avail
able for the annual settlements abroad,
has been a benefit to stocks. There has
been some investment buying of bonds In
anticipation of January disbursements.
This buying has been prompted by en-
couraging general conditions and by de-
sire to anticipate an expected rise In Jan
uary.

these grand old men. She writes OF
her experiences: Honor to whom

A Foxy Fox.

A gentleman whose word cannot be
doubted and who is not easily deceiv-
ed, tells the following story: Very
early one morning he saw fox cycling
most wistfully a number of wild ducks
feeding in the rushy end of highland
lake. After awhile the fox, going to
windward of the ducks, put afioat in
the lake several punches of dead rush
es or grass, which fioated among the
ducks without causing the least alarm.
After watching the effect of his pre-
liminary fleet for short time, the
fox, taking a good-sized mouthful OF
grass in his jaws, launched himself
into the water as quietly as possible,
having nothing but the tips of his ears
and nose above water. In this way he
drifted down among the ducks and
caught a fine mallard. Although this
story seems extraordinary, it must be
remembered that the fox manages to
capture wild ducks, wild pigeons, hare
and numberless other animals sufti-
cient to keep himself and family, and
it is plain to be seen that in doing so
he must practice many trick that
would seem improbable If stated, and
quite beyond the instinct of animals.

commission after the adoption of
amendments including provision dis
qualifying from voting and holding
office any person who after April l is
in arms against, or aiding those OPP
posing the United States authority.
The power to review election irregu-
larities- is transferred from the Gov
ernor of the province to the election
judges.
The provincial bill provides for a
Governor, Secretary of the Treasury,
a Supervisor and Fiscal Agent. The
officers may be Americans or Filipinos.
The Governor is to be elected by the
joint ballot of the councillors of the
organized pueblos (townships) and his
election must be confirmed by the
Philippine commission.

WANT MORE VICTIMS
FOR THE GODDESS WAR IN THE
FAR EAST.
The Volunteers Cannot Come Homo
Until More Recruits Are on Hand
The Longer the Fight Is Conducted
the Worse the Prospects Appear.

Secretary Root has cancelled the Or
der for the Homecoming of the volun-
teers in the Philippines They can't
be spared just yet. No soldier Will
come back to America until there IS
a new soldier to take his place. says
the Non-Conformist. Not one can be
spared in the present condition OF the
happy islands. 1t is said there will be
very few Refreshments. The boys
have got enough of iackrabbit warfare
There is neither honor nor glory in
shooting at flying fugitives and burn
ing peaceful homes. Macarthur says
he can't get along with less than $4,000
fighting men. Any weakness OF our
forces is liable to bring dire disaster.
The sweet dream of peace is over. The
wicked rebels did not lay down their
arms when Mckinley was elected. He
girded up his loins and took another
whack at the invaders of his country.
Soon the recruiting offices will be
wide open. Our boys will be solicited
to go to Asia to be killed by the enemy
or the climate We have been fighting
for two years and the situation is
worse than ever. The reconstruction
commission claims that many of the
insurgents have given their adhesion to
our government. That is a fairy tale
to please the children. Many have
surrendered, but every blessed one of
them lost his gun before he came into
our lines.
There is only one way OF conquering
the Filipinos and that is by extermina-
ton. 1t is a big job to send eight
millions of people to kingdom come.
1t is an awful mean job for the great
republic to exterminate whole race
of people whose only crime is that they
are fighting for the freedom of their
native land. 1t will be long job,
too, and this generation will pass
away before our great murder mill
can finally accomplish its appointed
| work.

70 REPLACE VOLUNTEERS
With Regulars Before Volunteer
Army is Discharged.
RECRUITING TEN THOUSAND.

Washington, Feb Elm anticipation
of the passage of the army reorganiza-
ton bill the war department has issued
preparatory orders for the transporta-
ton of $500 regular troops to the
Philippines to replace an equal num-
Der of volunteers under orders at San
Francisco for discharge. The soldiers
to be sent to the Philippines first
include eight troops of the Fifth cav
airy, eight companies of the Eleventh
infantry and the provisional battalion
of troops at the Preside of San Fran
cisco. There are now about 1000
recruits at San Francisco awaiting
transportation to Manila and the num-
Der will be increased as rapidly as the
recruiting officers in various parts of
the country obtain the necessary ma
terial.
There are now about 10000 regular
troops in the Philippines and the
problem confronting the military
authorities is how to increase that
number to $4,000 by the first of July,
when the entire volunteer army of
$4,000 must be discharged. Advantage
will be taken of the provision of the
army bill authorizing the recruitment
of 1900 native Filipinos. In that
event only 10000 reinforcements will
be required from the United States
Immediately. The most sanguine Off
GERS of the war department do not
expect more than 1900 or 1000 of the
volunteer troops to re-enlist for service
in the Philippines.

Lotteries I'm GaIIcia

Some interesting facts concerning
the way in which the lotteries of the
Hungarian government are being
pushed in Galicia among the credulous
and the ignorant have lately come to
light. Prospectuses of all sorts are
sent again and again to the same per-

the numbers gain prize, and that the
whole lottery business is under the i'm

All these statements are absolutely
false. AS a fact, the chances of win

GERMAN POOR FEELING PINCH.

Minneapolis Times: The beauties of
protection in Germany have been nice
ly illustrated in the condition of the
workingmen of that country since the
prohibitory meat law went into effect
Inquiries at factories buying at whole
sale and selling at retail to their en-
ployes show that the workingman's
cost of living is II per cent higher
than it was last summer, and this does
not take into account the higher price
of coal. The class of workmen referred
to in this report earn from s3.75 to 81
a week and the 20 per cent tribute lev
led for the benefit OF the agrarian land
lords, added to that which is wrung
from them by the coal barons, renders
their plight pitiable indeed. Add to
this the proposed prohibitory tariff on
flour and breadstuffs and the hostility
of the manufacturing interests to the
present tariff system is easily under
stood
