cred an excellent speech. The conven- ton meets again tomorrow.
 In explaining the attitude of the Pa cihc coast regarding the exclusion af the Chinese. one of the chief promoters of the conference said today: "The feeling of the Pacific coast in favor of the re-enactment of a Chinese eXclu- sion bill is largely one of patriotism. The people feel that every substance drawn from the soil is by right theirs, and that every great development should inure to them. They feel that to let the bars down would open again our doors to human slavery. Agents of great combinations would go to China for the purpose of stimulating the Chinese trade. Many of the Chinese coming here would push to the far north and many would go to Mexico to develop the mining opportunities there. Some would go east. but by far the greater portion would remain right here on the Pacific coast. Con Sress must enact q law this winter to take the place of the Geary act. It is the most important work to come be- Tore the session. It must be an iron clad law to protect American homes, western civilization and the moral and progressive standard of American life

FROM THE ORIGINAL GREEK
Difficulty of Translating Gospels Into
 the Modern Tongue.

Athens. Nov. 21.-The agitation against the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek was con- tinued today. Twenty thousand per sons were assembled around the ruins in the temple of Jupiter Olympus and took part in the demonStTa ations orgaii- ized by the students. Resolutions were passed calling on the holy synod to ex- communicate any person who trans lated the gospels into Greek as it is now spoken. Eight hundred more marines landed and they co-nperatcd with the police and troops are patroling the locality.
 Several collisions occurred and ccca- sional shots were fired. The students still hold the university buildings. During the demonstration following th. assemblage several shots were fired a. the Greek premier. but without effect. During the encounters between the military and the turbulent element seven persons were killed, thirty se verely and others slightly wounded. Great excitement prevails tonight.

POLYGAMY AMENDMENT.
Petition Circulated in Salt Lake By
 Missionary Society.

Salt Lake, Utah. Nov. 21.-A petition gotten up by the Methodist Home Mis- sionary society of New York, praying amendment to the constitution, is be- ing circulated among -Mormons of Salt Lake, and especially among the non-Mormon churches. A number of copies of the petition have been sent to the small towns throughout the state where non Mormon churches are established. and the local Methodist Home Missionary society has in charge the work of circulating the petition through this city. The persons circu lating the petition have been working very quietly in order to prevent the matter becoming public. and copy could not be found but it is said that it sets forth that the non Mormon peo- pie of the state believe that the only way to entirely prevent the practice of polygamy by the Mormons is to make violatcrs of the law answerable to the government. The petition, it is said. winds up with an appeal to congress to pass such an amendment.
 The petition has been presented a t a number of the local churches the last few Sundays, and it is said that it has secured many signatures. This peti- tion is to be presented at each of the churches in the city, and others will be circulated through the other towns until as many names are secured as can be, when the petition will be sent to congress-

VAN SAINT SILENT
The Indications Are That Not Only in Minnesota, But Elsewhere in the Northwest the Organization of the Northern Securities Company Will Meet With Opp position.

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 21.-The Dis patch today says that Judge Jamison. Governor Van Sant's private secre- tary. stated today that the governor and the members of his official family had carefully looked into the legal phases of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific consolida ton. and that there was no doubt that the pro- motors of the Northern Security com- pany were trying to do by indirection, what they could not do directly. It was time the people were aroused to the fact that their interests were be- ing encroached upon. The two com p2ting lines in the same hands meant that they will be able to further the selfish ends of the owners.
 He admitted that certain legal as poets of the Northern Securities com panw were still in doubt, but he said that in few days these would be passed upon by competent legal au- thorities. No date has been fixed by the governor for calling a conference with other governors. He declined to commit himself in regard to an extra session. but he left the impression that one would be called.

A WATERING START
A Quick Recovery From the
 Depression of Wednesday
The Scare Put Upon Northern Securi- ties Died Out EaIly-A Rumor at a Com bination of the Gould In- terests

New York, Nov. 21.-The prices. of stocks drifted uncertainty during the early part of the days trading. a rather acute depression at some points con trasting with steady absorption at others. This irregularity gave place during the course of the afternoon to I general unward movement ill sympa- thy with d notable strength of New 4 ork Cantral, which advanced 53i over last nights price. The buying of this stock was on a very large scale. No news was forthcoming to explain this movement beyond the reiterated ru- mors of a plan for combining the Van derbilt systems. All the Vanderbilts were affected by the movement
 Manhattan was another effective cen ter of strength and was bought on an enormous scale by brokers, usually ac- ting for inside interests, the advance extending to "A over last nights price. Missouri Pacific was also lifted 27s. but otherwise the Gould stocks were not conspicuous.
 Under the stimulation of this az gressive leadership. practically all the early losses were wiped out. The most conspicuous of these were in Great Northern preferred, which fell 2A under the influence of the agitation in the northwest against the Northern Secur- ities company. Amalgamated Copper. and Peoples Gas were also strong. Sugar and Consolidated Gas were not ably strong. The developments of the day made it improbable that further gold will go to Europe immediately.
 large demand to cover shorts helped on the rise. The market closed active and strong. In the railroad and bond market prices inclined to an ad- vance.

JEALOUS AERONAUTS.
French Club Much Disturbed by NJ.
 Santos Dumont's Success.

Paris. Nov. 21.-The childish spite that the Aero club is displaying against M. Santos-Dumont is amusing every one. M. Santos-Dumont offered to give a shed to the club. which replied that it would take nothing from him. The climax was reached when Marquis de Dion, the clubs president. when pre- pairing to give M. Santos-pumont re- ceipt asked him how he spelled his name. It is regrettable that several Of the best known French sportsmen have shown such pettiness.
 The banquet to be given tomorrow to M. Santos Dumont promises to be en- thusiastic and to make up to him for the many sights he has received.

FOOD STOPPED IT.
Good Food Worth More Than a Gold
 Mine.


 To find food that will put an ao- solute stop to running down" is bet ter than finding d gold mine Many people when they begin to run down go from one food to another and find it impossible to find a food that will stop the progress of disease. Grape Nuts Food is the most nourishing known and will set one right if that is possible.
 The experience of Louisiana lady will be interesting. Mrs. J. H. Gra- ham. Wallace. La, writes, .'I received severe nervous shock some wears ago and from overwork gradually broke down. My food did not agree with me and lost flesh rapidly. I changed from one kind of food to another but was unable to stop the loss of flesh and strength.

 My improvement began at once for it afforded me the nourishment that I had been starving for. No more haras- sing pains and indigestion.

Now I am in better health than have been in years. I still stick to Grape-Nuts. because I like the food and l know of it's powerful nourishing properties. My physician says that my whole trouble was the lack of power to digest food. and that no other food that he knows of would have brought me out of the trouble except Grape Nuts.
