IMPROVEMENT WAS SHOWN
IN A FEW LEADING LINES.
Call Money Was Higher Than Usual.
Pressure Is Directed Against Ger
tain Pool Stocks.

New York, November 1s-Operatons In
the stock market we're again comparatively
small and professional throughout, such I'm
rrovement as was shown at times being
due chiefly to covering by short interests
Aside from the scarcity OF time money
which is loanlng at rates practically to q
and per cent for sixty aud ninety days
there was no very unfavorable news. Cal
money was easy and In very moderate d.
mand, aud gold exports seemed no nearer
than they have been for weeks past II Is
clear, however thut pressure Is SIN being
directed against certain Of the pool stocks,
and that the substantial interests are Of
fering 10 real support. Opening prices were
Irregular and rather under the London
level Manhattan was the conspicuous fea-
turc OF the entire day, opcnlng with gain
ana selling to the extent Of $4,000 shares,
with a net gain OF ~ points. The move
mcnt In this stock still lacks ex llnatiGn.
Other features OF the ctrly trading were
oiadO Fuel, all Of which showed improve
meht. On the ether hand, Reading, Union
Pacific, Canadian Pacific and st. Pau were
heavy, though not To n mark degree, The
protest. nal element took the short side II
through the curly session, In spite of the
steadlucss IN Sugar nnd Manhattan. The
demand for Sugar shares appeared TO como
from insiders. Louisville and Nashville
was stendy, presumably as n result OF the
ratification Of the Atlantic Coust deal
Prices held barely steady In the early az
tvrnoon. though renewed pressure was
brought 10 bear against St Paul ana Lou 81
vile and Nashville lost all Its early gain.

Local Situation Is Firmer on Account Of
Late Developments.

There was no advance In the local rice
market yesterday, but the tirmness Of the
situation was more distinctive. Tho nj
ready strong tore possessed by the price
scale has been Increased by the latest
damaging weather which the product has
sustained. Il is also stated that thrashing
has received a setback which viii amount
to fully a week. and thur the demands ~
the trade are such as win warrant an al
vance from these conditions, Not only are
the higher grades affected by this state OF
AFFAIRS, hut the entire Hist has been placed

are reported, but will probably not AFFECT
the ioeni movement for about ten days.

The Territorial Delegates to
 Congress.

Editor Miner: 1 see by com munication in the Morning Courier that George House places in nomina- tion Judge R. E. Sloan to be dele gate to congress for Arizona. 1 de- sire to second the nomination.
 Judge Sloan is one man in the territory who places devotion to prin- ciple and loyalty to the interests of the people above fealty to any party. He has breadth of conception and in tellect enough to place manhood be- fore partizanship. He is more of a man than he is a republican.
 He has profound regard for law and believes in its rigid enforcement, and is therefore a model citizen. He knows all the wants of Arizona and is capable of administering unto them. No filter man for this place could be selected, and the best evidence the territory can give of Its fitness for statehood land the thing is far from self-evident), will be electing him as delegate.
 If he was asked to announce him self as a candidate, he would no doubt refuse. But if he is placed in nomination and elected as the spon- taneous act ot the people he has so long faithfully served both as repre- sentative citizen and distinguished judge, he will, I doubt not, accept the trust in the same spirit of confidence in which it is rendered.
 Respectfully,
 R. c. Powers.

TOOK THE TOWN.
IA U. s. cavaIryman Captures the City
 of Dublin.

A Dublin telegram says: Thomas O'Rourke, quartermaster in D troop of the Eight United States cavalry, and who comes from Philadelphia, a former Dublin man, is home on a furlough.
 The unusual attentions of which the American trooper is the obect are viewed with jealous eyes by the British officers stationed in Dublin. Had it not been for uncommon level headedness on the part of Quarter master O'Rourke, his visit to Dublin might have resulted iD an ''interna- tional incident" As protest to the presence of what the nationalists de scribe as the English garrison" in Ireland, it was proposed to invite the trooper to dinner at the Mansion house, the seat of the city govern ment, at which the lord mayor would preside, but the invitation was de- clined, the soldier declaring that he could not lend his presence to any function-no matter how much he appreciated the hospitality of his native city-that would possess the slightest political complexion. He is, however, having a good time privately, and he is for the moment the most popular man in Dublin.
 The reason for all this fuss over the military man is that he is the the first American soldier in uniform that has been seen ill Ireland.

Santa Fe vs. Southern Pacific.

Friendly relations between the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific are said to have become badly strained on account of rivalry over frieght business in California, which is reported to have gone in a large proportion from the latter to the for mer company.
 It is claimed that ever since Harri- man secured control of the Southern Pacific the Santa Fe freight traffic has been growing. Within the last few weeks the Southern Pacific is said to have inaugurated a vigorous campaign against its rival carrier in order to stem the Santa Fe's growing trade.
 President Hartman, it is stated, has become alarmed over the sue cessful aggressiveness of the Santa Fe, and has demanded of his freight traffic department that steps be i'm mediately taken to produce a sure and speedy remedy. These officials, it is stated, have hit upon a plan which will go into effect at once. Merchants who have given trade to the Santa Fe, it is said, will be called upon to express their preference. and be given to understand that South ern Pacific special privileges will be taken from them unless they decide that it would be more to their interest to use that line.

Basis of Grants Career.

General Grants choice ol military life as a profession was not the result of deliberation, as many suppose. It was perhaps more of boyish freak than anything else. When he was boy his mother one morning found herself without butter fer breakfast and sent him to borrow some from neighbor. Going without knocking into a house of neighbor whose son was then at West Point, young Grant overheard letter read from the son stating that he had failed in examin- ation and was coming home. He got the butter, took it home, and without waiting for breakfast, ran down tothe office of the congressman from that district.
 "Mr. Hamar," he said, twill you appoint me to West Point?"
 "No, So-and-So is there and has three years to serve."
 But suppose he should fail, will you send mel"
 Mir. Hamar laughed. If hedoesn't go through no use for you to try"
 Promise you'll give me chance, Mir. Hamar, anyhow"
 Mir. Hamar promised. The next day the defeated lad came home and the congressman laughed at Uly's sharpness and gave him the appoint ment.
 Now" said Grant. Tt was my mothers being out of butter that made me general and president"
 But it was his own shrewdness to see the chance and promptness to seize it that urged him upward Cleveland Chronicle.

as a wonderful bargain. There was ore on the dump, ore in the shaft and water in the same; and the owner said that though he had never been down below the water line, he knew there was good ore there, for on the surface was an arastra that had been used in the early days, and of course the ore must have been good or that machine could not have handled it. A mining man heard the story, lis tened to how the pirate "swore by the beard of the prophet" that every thing was all right, and then sent his expert to see the property. The ex pert took the owner along and found the whole thing to be another fake, and proved it to be such to the owner himself; for the surface ore was no good and the arastra was never used at all. It probably was bfought there, but the ore was found not to be good enough for that process, even.
 And this is but one of the many. Very many. And when such frauds and lies are uncovered they confirm the truth of the story about the eff fleets of the drinking of the Hassay- ampa river; for the tale tells that whoever drinks of that river of Ari- zona can never afterwards tell the the tfuth,

4 Los Angeles Publication Which Pro- poses to Keep a Black List Book of Properties Which Do Not
 Pay Tribute to 1t.

An article appeared recently in a Los Angeles publication which re- fers to Arizona liars. The aforesaid article escaped the notice of the Journal-Miner editor, but his atten- tion has been called to it frequently, both Oil, Mining and Finance and Western Investments being credited with the original publication.
 The caption of the article is "Ari- zona's Accomplished Liars" and is as follows:
 "Yes, it has them, for the mantle of Annanias has fallen on not a small number of that coterie of prospec- tors and claim owners who have properties for sale. So lad is it that mining men doubt the description of every property offered to them, for so few of the statements made are any where near the truth.
 Many such cases have come to our notice of late; and we are mak- ing a list of them so that when any of our friends are thinking of looking up property that has been offered they can have private peep into ou black book and see whether the same fellow previously has made repre- sentations to any one that on examin- ation have been found to be lies and swindling.

 It is fortunate that confirmations by the senate are made in executive session for it is presumable that Senator Tillman's remarks when Senator McLaurin's name is sent in for confirmation as judge, will not be exactly proper for publication in the Congressional Record.
 It is easy for the democrats to talk of antitrust laws now that they are out of office, but the public will not forget their failure to pass such legis- lation when they were in power nor the qualification of the democratic platform by Senator German when the Wilson bill came upon the sen- ate.

BLOWN TO HIS DEATH.
An Unexploded Shot Explodes Unex- psctedIy in the 5annle Mining Company's Property With
 Fatal Results.

The BanDie Mining company had its first accident yesterday and it re- suited in the death of one man and the seriously wounding of another. A shot had been placed in the bottom of the shaft, but failed t6 explode. Charles Anderson, James Hynes and another man went down into the shaft and the former commenced drilling into the hole, when the charge exploded, killing him in- stantly. Hynes was quite seriously though it Is thought not dangerously wounded; while the third man es- capped unharmed.
 Andersou's body was brought to Prescott last evening and an inquest was held over the remains, the jury returning a verdict acquittlng the company of any blame in the matter. Deceased was a native of Sweden, about thirty years of age and was a soldier in the Philippines. He is spoken of by those who knew him as an exemplary young man and good citiZeii

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL

We congratulate Governor Brodie on his selection of an attorney gen. eral. He looked over the heads of the crowd of office beggars and chose a man who is well calculated to re- fleet credit on the place.
 Judge Wells is admirably qualified to discharge the duties of the office. He is man of character and ability. It was plainly a case of the office seeking the man. It is a tribute to Governor Brodie that he can com mand the services of lawyer of such eminence and a citizen of such dis tinction. It is highly creditable to Judge Wells civic spirit and pa triotism that he should assume an office the revenues from which are ln- consequential, and to him unneces- sary, and the duties of which will be onerous and not apt to add glamour to his professional fame.
 It is true that the office of attorney general is one of high honor Pro- perly estimated, the attorney general is the head of the bar of the terri tory, and Arizona has many lawyers of eminence and distinguished ability.-Tucson Citizen (democratic.) )

Philippine Casualties.

Major Parker's full report on the casualties in the Philippines contains some interesting figures. He gives the number of deaths from action Tn the field and from disease, and the number of wounded. The total of killed and wounded is 4,470; the total of deaths from disease is 47 officers and 2,535 enlisted men.
 The total number of officers and men engaged in the Philippines was about 12S,000, and the average num- Der there at one time was about 40,- 900. Major Parker figures that the proportion of killed and wounded to the strength of the army was 97 per cent.
 The comparatively small number of deahts from disease speaks vol umns for the sanitation of the Ameri- cans and also for their physical con- dition.

4 FkaC!Ful PICTURE.

Hiram Maxim, in the Woman's Companion, has ah article in which he outlines the destruction of the world by meteors. or by being hit by the tail of comet. He even goes so far as to produce an illustration of a meteoric show;.r in New York with the attendant results of it. Another illustratioa shows the tail of a comet twisted around the earth crushing the life out of it, while a third illus tration shows an imaginard dead world. It all furnishes a very beau tiful example of a very vivid imagin- alton, although the article is given as serious matter emanating from an alleged scientist.
