who this afternoon and evening will en-,
ter the arena OF the circus to delight the

This course OF operations indicates a
not yet touched top.
As is usual under such conditions,
large profits intoxicate the always
abundant class of sanguine neophytes,
and as their profits enable them to hold
on they decline to realize and construe
declining market as affording good
opportunity for increasing their hold
ings. This is the stage through which
the market is now passing. 1t means
the transfer OF stocks from astronger set
of holders to weaker; and it remains
to be seen what will happen when the
season's investment demand has been
satisfied and the market j. in the hands
of holders whose resources consist
mainly of their profits, the strong oper-
ators being out of the market or short of
il. The next stage must be struggle.
II may prove be to tough one; for the
profits OF the holders-on are considera-
Bile enough to enable them to keep up
the fight valiantly ;andthe are cliquee
in new enterprises whose interest il is
to keep up the speculative spirit AZ
m 1ch as possible. The conquering fac
tor, however, is that the strong men are
out of the market, to remain out and
deliver their blows until prices have set
tied to a level at which they will be
tempted to buy in again The only
question is whether the readjustment
win be rapid one or slow one. 1t 10
quite likely that the point of ultimste
recovery will be above the level at which
the late two months OF advance started.

1.-The Condition
| of Commerce.

New YORK, Jan. l0.-Henry Clews <
leo. IN their late report say:
The past week has been anticipated
with much interest, as test period in a
m lrket which has reached high state
pf tension. After two months of unparal-
eled activity, in which prices have ad-
anced on an average fully rs points, it
vas question whether the first week Of
he new year, with its usual buying for
he reinvestment OF interest and divid-
knds, would not be turned TO account as
N opportunity for realizing the large
nd tempting speculative profits. The
more prudent operators reasoned Tor
eome days past that, after such great
Rise in prices and with such large profits
within reach, further holding was risky
|and consequently realized heavily in ad-
eance. There proved to be as many
buyers as sellers however, and, since
the reinyestment demand set in, prices
have been well sustained; although the
wants OF investors had been to a consi-
extent supplied by free advance
purchases within the last two weeks.

But Seventeen
We're Present.


WASHINGTON, Jan. l1.-But seventeen
senators were present when the senate
convened this morning many being
absent on account Of the grippe and
the inclement weather. The committee
on census favorably reported the house
reapportionment bill. Teller's resolu-
ton on printing the Filipino appeal pre-
sented yesterday went over until Mon
day.
The army reorganization bill was
taken up. The motion by Hoar provid.
ing that no further military force shall
be used in the Philippines except such
as may be necessary to keep order in
places now peaceably occupied by the
United States was tabled by vote of 80
to 10. Pettigrew's amendment provid-
ing that one third of appointments to
the commissioned ranks in the regular
army be made from officers of the vol
unteer army was defeated by vote OF
SO to l6.

The Situation in
South Africa Is Worse.

LoxeoS, Jan. II, ) a. m.-The situa-
tion in South Africa grows steadily
worse rather than better. Lor | kitch-
ener's dispatches are more laconic than
those Of Lord Roberts, and little else of
importance is allowed to come through.
The Times in an editorial finds comfort
in the thought that $'the process of at
triton is doing its work and must
shortly lead TO the inevitable result" =
In other quarters, however, there is
lees satisfaction with the condition OF
affairs, which has practically necessi
tated the fortifieation OF Cape Town. No
steps have been taken to comply with
Lord Kitchener's demands for reinforce
ments.

General Debate Was
Held in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l1.-General de-
( bate on the river and harbor bill con-
tiuued in the house until o'clock yes
terday when the death Of Representa-
tive Clark OF New Hampshire was an
nounced and the house adjourned out of
respect to his memory.
/ The features Of the debate yesterday
were the speeches OF Mr.. Cushman of
Washington and Mr.. Hepburn OF Iowa.
The latter has been a persistent oppon-
ent Of the river and harbor bills
and he attacked the bill all along the
line in his usually vigorous fashion. Mr..
Cushman's speech was unique 10 many
( particulars. He was in favor of the
river and harbor appropriations and his
complaint was due to the fact that the
members OF the committee, according to
I his ideas, had located the bulk of the
appropriations in their own states, and
| had given scant attention to the needs
OF other states, especially 10 the Seattle
ship canal in his own state. Mr.. Cush-
man illustrated his remarks with a series
OF carefully prepared charts. He crit
| icised several of the individual members
of the committee in breezy style and
became engaged in half a dozen very
spirited encounters before he concluded.
The members crowded about the area
in front OF the speakers desk, where
they stood explaining the figures on the
charts and every one seemed to enjoy
the picturesque performance immense
ly. When he wound up with glowing
appeal for justice to Seattle's project he
got stirring round of applause.
Considerable progress was made by
the senate today with the army reorgan.
ization bill, but final vote upon the
measure seems to be about as far off as
ever. The proceedings were character
lied by several sharp colloquies, some of
which were of decidedly personal ma
ture.
An appeal was presented by Mr.. Tel
ler, Of Colorado, for more than 2000 per-
! sons in Manila, urging the United States
government to cease its operations
against the FiIipinos. The appeal is
sensational in its statements and so un-
usual in form that Mr.. HawIey of Con
necticut made vigorous objection TO
! its publication as document. He de-
elared it was reasonable denunciation
OF the government and an attack upon
our soldiers.
/ Consideration was concluded OF the
committee amendments proposed by in
diyidunl senators as to the army reor-
ganization bill. Amendments providing
for the appointment Of General Jane.

Paris Exposition Prizes.

The United States received more
prizes at the Paris Exposition than any
other nation, except France. The total
being 1881. 1t is also a remarkable
fact, that though the inhabitants OF
every country suffer from digestive
troubles and though, every cline offers
some alternative therefrom, it remains
for America to produce an absolutely re-
liable remedy for such common disease.
This remedy is Hostetter's stomach
Bitters. Half century ago it was
placed upon the market, and from that
day to this, it has never been equalled.
1t has an almost unparalleled record for
the cure Of dyspepsia, indigestion, cons
tipation, sick headache, sour stomach,
belehing, heartburn, nervousness, fati-
que, insomnia, or any other disturbance
Of the stomach. Be sure to give it a
trial.

FIGHTS FOR CARSON.

Dan Stuart is now in Texas, his old
home, but will depart from there to re-
turn to this city next week. A letter
to a friend in this city says that he
finds everything coming his way in the
fight line, and that when he makes his
formal announcement Of the attractions
he signed for Carson the sporting
world will be very agreeably surprised
In the papers we read a great deal
now and then about fighters getting to-
gether and signing articles for a con-
test and the versatile reporter works in
considerable dramatic establishment.
Not SO with Stuart. Nobody knows
anything about his movements until he
chooses to tell them.
The News has already been author
lied to announce that Fitzsimmons will
meet ~Jeffries here and that someone
will give McGovern a contest also, and
it is understood that there are several
other matches on the string.
People who remember the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons contest when the V. g.
T. R. r. had to build extra sidetracks
all yer the town to accommodate the
excursion and special trains, when
every DON was in demand and when
every man, woman and child had an
opportunity to obtain employment. will
receive Dan Stuart's assurances that
Carson will have just such another such
time with. with considerable interest.
At that time, however, the weather
was far from favorable and did not give
the fasteners a fair sample OF Neva-
da climate. Notwithstanding which
however it resulted in some four or
five of them returning and spending at
least six months Of the year in this city
ever since. This time it is proposed
to bring the visitors out here during the
latter part Of May or along about the
first of June, and in this event there is
little doubt that many of them will re-
main here for months to enjoy the eli
mate Of Nevada.

TAXATION.
Low Valuations And High Tax
Rates to be Discussed by the
NEXT Legfslatnre.

y ILL
Next Legislature.
The following is an extract from an
article entitled Nevada which ap-
pears in the Salt Lake Tribune Of Dec
ember 3lst from the pen of Ali Doten.
The increase OF taxable property
from year to year indicates to a com
parative degree the prosperity prevalent
in the various counties and the State
at large. Thus the total amounts paid
into the State treasury for the past
three years stands recorded as follows.
1898, $2l2,4o5. "a; 1899, 1882, 654.-
81; 1900. $24l, 845. 50. To this last
footing the county contributions were:
Churchill, $o,274.68; Douglas, $685.
81; Elko. $53.649.l5 is: Esmeralda.
$6,653.58; Eureka, $l5,2l4.3l; Hum
boldt, $37 ,25o.23; Lander. Sl2,364.-
IA; Lincoln, S4,343,42; Lyon, SILL
1887; Nye. $3.733.4o; Washoe,
$~52,751.o5; White Pine, SIS, 1873 80;
total, $24l ,845.59.
1t will be noted that Elko is in the
lead of prosperity, we'll followed by
Washoe and Humboldt. Washoe
contributes yer eight thousand more
than she did three years ago and at
her present rate Of progress she may
take the lead Of the list a year hence,
The entire valuation OF taxable prop
erty in this State foots up to only about
$2S,o0o,0o0, which is decidedly and
detrimentally wrong and the worst put
lie policy in the world. 1t should be
squarely assessed at its true CONNER
clal value, four times that amount,
$3.50 might then be lowered three
fourths or TO about ST. on the 500.
Other Western States labor under the
same Objectionable impeachment and
false basis, outside capital being de-
tered and frightened away from min
or commercial investments through
the high rate Of taxation. All property
should be assessed up to its full, honest
value, and the tax rate lowered accord
ingly. This proposition will be brought
up for sensible action and adjudication
before the coming Legislature which
meets on the third Monday in Jan
uary."
Legislation on the subject of low
valuations and high tax rates is badly
needed in Nevada, as property is now
assessed, the owners Of large bands Of
stock and large ranches pay taxes
on less than a fourth Of the COM
mercial value Of their property
while small land owners and residents
of towns are assessed for the full value
of their possessions. If every land and
stock owner were assessed for the COM
merc!al value OF this property it would
be only a matter of a year or two when
the tax rate Of Nye county would be
reduced from 81 on a hundred to ST.,
and the county would not only be out
of debt in a short time, but would have
plenty of money in the treasury to
meet all county debts. There are
many subjects upon which good legis-
lation is needed but We doubt if there
is any Of more Importance than that Of
low valuations and high tax rates.
