Missouri Pacific broke most sharply at
the opening yesterday The first price
was l01&s and soon it had declined to l05.
Other Gould securities were also inclined
to weakness. 1t seems likely that there
was some selling of long stock in this
group, there has been commission
buying on the talk of early developments
in the Greater Missouri Pacific" deal
without doubt. There was some pool
both kinds of selling ceased and the ten
dency of prices was upward in a small
way The Gould deal is one of those
that cannot be carried out except in

The record of the Texas Pacific as one
of the representative cotton roads has
been compiled for the past ten years
with reference to the bearing of its cot
ton tonnage on its earnings, and the re-
suits obtained are particularly interest
ing at this time. In 1891 the cotton haul
cd by the line was $4,000 tons. In 1900
the cotton hauled was 1900 tons. The
increase was 2S per cent. In the earlier
year the total tonnage OF the line was
1.5000cJ and last year il was 2,goJea or
nearly 100 per cent greater. This means
that while the cotton hauled has been in
creasing the general business of the line
has increased far more rapidly, SO that
at esent cotton is a much less import
ant item than il was ten years ago. Re
duced to percentages the cotton freight
in 1891 was 10 per cent of the total tom
mage and in 1880 it was only sc per cent.
The earnings Of the line meanwhile have
increased steadily year by year, as has
been pointed out in this column hereto
fore. The increase has come in bad cot
ton years as well as in good, and it has
been fairly regular.

1t was said that Mr. Keene was a seller

1t was said that Mr.. Keene was a seller
of stocks at the opening. Later he and
his friends were credited with the pur
chases which steadied the market Mr..
keene is one of the men most strongly
committed to the bull side. When he sells
it is because he wishes to buy later and
must dispose of as much stock as possible
meanwhile. His recent tactics have all
an advance at this time without waiting
Tor easier money conditions. The Steel
securities were held fairly strong all day,
the common going off point and then re-
the preferred at no time went off more
than fractionally. Mr. Keene's manipula-
ti9n OF these securities continues to cause
admiration.

TO SfRIK FOR LIBERTY
A Sensational and Improbable Story of
 Conspiracy Against Canada.

San Francisco, Nov. 17.--The Call to- day prints an unconfirmed story from Skagway Alaska, under date of Mo- vember G. telling of the discovery of what is alleged to be huge conspiracy existing in Dawson and ramifying to Skagway Victoria Vancouver and Se- attle for the overthrow of the local gov ernment of the northwest territory and the establishing of a republic with Dawson as it's 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 leaders in the conspiracy. Miners to the number of five thousand are said to await the summon to arms, ready~to fight for the independence or from Dominion rule of the gold fields camps and towns.
 The plan is to overpower the mounted police, arrest the civil authorities and take the government irto their own hands The rigors of the Arctic win ters would give the insurgents six months immunity from attack by Ca nsdian or British troops, and the ad- venturous arch conspirators hope for intervention or outside assistance by the time the melting of ice and snow will permit the invasion of their isolated republic.
 It is further related that hurried conference last 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 United States district court United States district court, United States Marshal Shoup, United States Attorney Frederick and Major Hovey, command ing the United States troops at Skag- way.
 This was the last of several hasty consultations between the civil and mil itary representatives of the two powers in relation to the mysterious transport ation of supplies into the interior and rumors of conspiracy to lead the min CTS in a revolt against the Canadian government in the northwest territory Those present maintained subsequently, the strictst silence concerning the new evidence laid before them and their ev- ident anxiety helped to confirm the ru- mors of conspiracy.
 Captain Corrigan took train back across the border the next morning, while United States Marshal Shoup em- parked on the first steamer for Seattle, which port he reached several days ago. The object of his visit was presumably to confer by telegraph with the author ities at Washington. He sailed yester- day afternoon on the Dolphin on his way back to Skagway.
 Seattle, Wash, Nov 17.-No credence is given here to the story of the alleged discovery at Skagway, Alaska, of con- spiracy to overturn the Canadian gov ernment in Alaska. United States Marshal Shoupe, who is credited with having come here to communicate with the United States government regard ing the matter, is said to have come only for the purpose of bringing some United States prisoners who had been sentenced for various Offenses

fact that has been confirmed by Prof Boas of New York.
 Besides that form of government" which indeed reminds us of "anarchistic principles" we find among primitive peoples another form of law" which stands in a certain connection to the facts mentioned. After the death of a tribal chief it is customary among many West African peoples that for quite a while a state of lawlessnes and liberty prevails in such a way that ev- erybody does as he pleases until 8 new chief is elected, who re-establishes the old order It was the same in the mid dle ages; when after the death of the pope people were allowed to sack the papal palace, in Lateran. A similar outburst we may also recognize in the right given in Africa to young men who are to be circumcised, to steal and to plumber for a couple of weeks.
 Among the natives of New Zealand, called Muru, people are in the habit of plundering everything in the house of family where crime has been commit ted or an unhappy event has occurred. This curious fact can, however, not be considered a punishment" or re venge," because nobody sees any harm in 1t, nor does the housed owner conceal the names of the plunderers The pill lage reaches also sometimes those who had nothing to do with the crime, as 1t it reported by Capt. Brown, who says that the home of chief was sacked be- cause his wife had committed adultery Tn Japan the legalized ''sacking" is call ed "Harai" It was formerly practiced in the houses of those who had lost a friend or relative. until the custom was suppressed by an imperial edict.
 There is but one way of dealing with the anarchism of a propaganda by &C., ton, namely, by means of an open and fearless discussion of the social prob lem, and not by violent measures and speeches, or by a suppression of free peech.-Charles l.. Hemming in the Open Court.

ment has rendered it absolutely neces- quate to complete the work in the pre- scribed period.
 The officials of the office believe that their allotted task will be completed in ample time."
 The director gives a list of prosecu- tions for violation of the law In con nection with the census work, saying of them:
 Tt was hardly to be expected out of the large number of agents em- ployed in the field work-about 55,000 in all-that there would not be some who would prove incompetent and un- faithful to duty. The director has en- deavored to enforce the census act to the letter, and through the assistance of the attorney general has proceeded against all offenders
 The report includes detailed state ments from the different chiefs of di- visions in the bureau. s. N. D. North, chief of the manufacturing division, re- ports that the work of his division is rapidly drawing to completion. Speak ing of the success of the bureaus two reports on cotton, MT North says:
 This office has secured from cotton producers, cotton exchanges, cotton factories and cotton manufacturers an overwhelming approval of the services rendered by these reports. I am there fore led to recommend that congress pass joint resolution authorizing and instructing the census office to make a similar canvass of the cotton ginneries annually Under its present organized system of machinery this office will be able to publish this cotton report as early as the month of May or June in each year or three or four months in advance of their possible publication through other agencies. The commer- cial advantages resulting from these earlier, more accurate and detailed sta- tistics as to the volume of the annual cotton crops are too obvious to be fur ther dwelt upon."

But MT. Stacy Didn't Suspect it Until

 J. N. Stacy, an Elk City. Idaho. min- ing man, tells a true grouse story, but never tells it without getting his feel ings hurt, as no one will believe him. He was in the Bitter Root Mountains In the dead of winter, where the snow was twenty seven feet deep, he says, but the log cabin in which he lived was only fifteen feet high He was, there fore, obliged to reverse the usual order of things and go down to the roof in stead of going up when he passed from the mouth of his tunnel to the house.
 One morning he was climbing out when he eepied a grouse within good st ooting distance and he returned for his rifle He took dead aim at the birds head, and when the smoke cleared away the grouse was still sit ting on the log, quite unconcerned.
 He placed another cartridge in the gun and took aim at the neck fNf@ ti'na

IN HUDSON BAY TERRITORY,
The Fur Hunting Indians and Eski-
 nOaS

i The Fur Hunting Indians and Eskl- 1 moeS l Miles Spencer, agent for the Hudson Bay company in the almost unknown
 districts of Hudson bay is here on h S | first visit to civilization. Though 56, he has never seen a railway train pre- vious to his present trip, and had never even dreamed of such a means of con- veyance as an electric car His life has
 been spent among the Indians and Es- kimoes who occupy the northern parts of Labrador and the country imme- diately east of Hudson bay. Contrary to the general belief arising from the reports of missionary societies and oth- CTS, MT. Spencer says that in many re- spects the different tribes still adhere to their old customs and traditions. The Eskimoes in particular, e,re ac- cording to MT Spencer, very difficult people to civilize. There has never been such q thing as a marriage ceremony among them, and the nearest they have got to one to-day in the districts con- trolled for the company by MT. Spencer is that the young man generally tries to go to some post to buy blanket, and that is all the ceremony there is about 1t. They are not so numerous as formerly and it is thought that this falling off is principally due to the fact that for the past generation they have been taught to use English and Ameri- can foods. Formerly they never even cooked their meat, and they seemed to derive more benefit from 1t raw than in its cooked state.
 Money has not yet come into use among the people with whom Mir. Spen- cer has business dealings. Both Ind ans and Eskimo bring their furs into the company's posts, and in return receive different kinds of merchandise. Count CTS are used which are known as made beavers" each of which is worth about 60 cents of our money. The chief anil mals now hunted by these people are first, the fox, and then the marten, beaver, otter, reindeer and fisher. The silver fox is, of course, most eagerly sought, yet notwithstanding its extreme value in civilization, the finest speci- mems sold at the posts yield only 30 made beavers, or SIS.
 By far the largest amount of the credit received for furs goes for tobac- CO When an Eskimo or an Indian gets 60 made beavers, it is safe to say that he spends 59 on tobacco. The Eskimo, in particular, will sacrifice almost any thing else for it. They are a wonder fully friendly people among themselves, and it is very seldom, if ever, that auarrels arise between the people of different districts. The same thing canot be said of the Indians to the east of Hudson bay. MT. Spencer is author- ity for the rather surprising statement that there has been no falling off in re- cent years in the number of furs sent out of this country.
 Nearly all the white men in this terri tory marry squaws, and young children too often grow up neglected. The only education any of them receive is when missionary happens to pass that way, for schools are unknown.-Quebec Let ter in New York Sun
