THE MAoRIs AND THE QUEEN.
A Lament on the Royal Bereavement
Sent to King Edward.

The Hon. w P. Reeves. Agent General

the Maori inhabitants of his colony a
"tangl" or lament" on the death of
Queen Victoria, with the request that it
might, il possible be laid before King
Edward. Mr.. Reeves accordingly for

and the weeping" of which the follow
ing is a translation:
"Hark. Harkl There is the sound of

Queen Empress whose rule brought
friendship and peace to their tribes and
nations, who had spilled each other S
blood in useless warfare. and the civiliza-
ton and friendship of the white races
Very few of the Mapris have ever seen
the great Queen, but they have been told
of her goodness and those of the young
braves who attended the diamond jubilee
bear witness to the greatness and benifi-
cence of Victoria; therefore the Maoris
whose proudest boast is their loyalty to-
ward the empire and its great ruler. are
bowed down with sorrow at the death of
her whom they have looked upon, revered
and loved as their White Mother. The
heart of the Maori is full of sadness for

rowfully that the story of the magnifi-
cent welcome he proposed to give her

and though the memory of the White
Mother will long remain enshrined in the
heart of these her loving subjects, though
the Maori mothers will tell their children
of the greatest woman and the truest
heart the world has ever seen, the Maori
knows that the best tribute he can pay
to the memory of his beloved sovereign
is to transfer his answering loyalty and
never dying affection to her son and sue

Dangers Confronting the Great High
Structures in the Big City,


In one respect at least it would seem
that there is room for Improvement in
New York otherwise admirable system
or great office buildings. That the build
ingS themselves are the finest structures
of the kind In the world, there can be lit
tie doubt; and that their elevator services
as general thing are about perfect may
also be admitted. But an effective system
OF police protection, either for the proper
ty belonging to the building. or that be-
longing to tenants, does not seem to have
developed.
That there is need for such a system is
indicated. first, by the fact that it has
been established in other cities which
have big office buildings; and. secondly
by the testimony of the agents of some of
the skyscraperS across the river. In Chi
cago, for example. many of the buildings
employ special detectives whose business
II is TO move about from one floor to an
other and to keep watch for suspicious

their business; but they are mostly ex-
perienced thieftakers, and they make It

flee buildings. Occasionally. n special po-
liceman, in uniform, is retained in case
an officer should be needed to expel a dis
orderly person. or to take into custody
somebody who may have been actually
caught stealing. But most of the agents
appear TO believe that there is no need of
a plain clothes force to look out for prop

account was sold out without his orders
and when his margins we're amply suffi-
cient. and Furthermore when no request
for additional margin had been made.
Apparently this is the kind of transaction
that needs thorough ventilating.
One Spectator had 200 shares of stock,
and he states that his margin was enough
to have carried his holdings ten to fifteen
points below the lowest prices reached on
Thursday. His version of the transaction
is that he went home Thursday afternoon,
supposing, of course, that he still owned
the stock. No request had been made for
additional margin during the day. and
he had not been notified that his stock
had been sold. Meanwhile both securities
had rallied until at the close on Thursday
they showed very little loss for his ac-
count. He states that he was informed
later that 100 shares of his stock. or half
of il. had been sold out at practically tho
worst level of the panic. The excuse
given him for the curious TRANSACTION was
that the New York correspondent of the
house had sold the stock out arbitrarily,
without consulting the local firm. The
reason for this the local firm did not ex-
plain. if there was any explanation
1t should be stated, too. that the amount
of stock sold at the very bottom level of
the panic or within one or two points of
the bottom In Washington looks sus-
picious. Bad execution was to be ex-
pected but there is fair ground for the
belief that some of the New York cor
respondents resorted to very ugly meth
DDS in this regard.
1t is the very easiest of tricks in such
panic~for a dishonest house to rob its
customers. by reporting sales made at
lower than the actual prices, and report
ing purchases not made when in reality
they are made. and the house itself takes
the profit of the immediate rally. This
kind of thing has been done and proven
in the past. and there is no reason to
suppose that ii is not still done when pos
sible. The amount of United States Steel
stock reported sold in this city alone at
between Is and % must have been at least
a quarter as much as the official record
showed for the entire exchange at those
low prices

the Eagle man that many of the office
buildings are frequently visited by sneak
thieves. who rob lavatories of soap, tow
els, towel racks. and various other small
articles; and more than one instance is
on record of the loss of money and other
property belonging to occupants of offices
undoubtedly as the result of the operation
of sneak thieves. 1t is maintained chat
much of this loss would be avoided IL
every building were supplied with three
or four watchful and experienced men
who would be ubiquitous and intelligent
without making themselves conspicuous;
in short. detectives who would be as dill
igent are those who are retained for
the protection of any large hotel
About the only protection given Manhat-
tan office buildings seems to be that which
is vouchsafed by the ushers who stay on
the ground floors, and start the elevators;
the elevator men themselves, who, of
course. cannot leave their cars except in
cases of emergencies; a few janitors. who
usually are altogether too much occupied
with their broOms and dustpans to study
the movements of corners and goerS, and
an occasional engineer or electrician. who
doesn't get out of the basement unless he
is sent for. and usually loses no time
about getting back to his machinery.
On the other hand, sort of protection
is offered by the rules, enforced in many
of the buildings, with regard to taking
away such Office paraphernalia as type
writer's, chairs. or tables. or large pack
ages of any kind These rules forbid
persons to take away such articles unless
they have a written order from the owner
of them authorizing the removal. That
Is, If young man gets on an elevator on
the ground floor carrying a typewriter or
copying press, if he has not already
been made 10 explain himself by the ele-
vator man. he Is likely to be held up by
one of the ushers. who will demand his
credentials. And if he hasn't an order
from the owner he will have to go back
and get one. and the chances are that the
usher will go back with him. Just to be
sure that everything is all right.
