MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks. NJ

New York, Nov. 10-Railroad stocks
We're more affected, today, in sympathy
with the recent weakness of United States
Steel than at any time during the heavy
liquidation of that stock. The sharp re.
bound in prices at the end of the day gave
room for the supposition that much of the
selling of railroad stocks was for short
account and room traders found the sup,
ply scanty when the attempted to cover
the shorts. The demonstrative way in
which the break in railroad stocks was
quarters furthered the suspicion of the
professional character of the selling.
United States Steel preferred ended. to-
day, unchanged from last night. although
it sold at one time at 1914 The rela xation'
of the severe pressure against this stock
seemed to deprive the bears of some OF
their war material and furthered theid
disposition to cover.
The number of shares of Pennsylvania
dealt in rose considerably over the num-
Der of United States Steel sold. but Penn
sylvania stock is in $50 or half shares.
The acute weakness of this stock, which
sold down to 1141s, had much to do with
the general weakness developed in the
other railroad stocks. 1t was reported
that a large loan by a trust company in
which Pennsylvania stock figured to an
| important extent as collateral was closed
pu.. Inc argument we used with effect
that the depression on the iron and coal
trades would be bound to affect the traffic
of the trunk lines unfavorably and. most
of all, Pennsylvania. The heavy bond and
stock issues by subsidiary companies re-
Gently made. which have reached an ag
gregate of considerably over $50,00O.000,
was factor in the depression of the stock

further issues.

bankers estimated that it would be profit

were rumorS current of impending i'm
ports of several millions dollars worth,
but no definite announcements were made.
| The obvious likelihood of the rumors
helped the late recovery in the market.
The New York corporation stocks made
an early advance in face of the general
downward tendency. In the late dealings
Amalgamated Copper took the lead in the
advance and closed with a gain of 23s.
Rumors of settlements in the Rio Tmto
mines, which depressed that stock in Lon

lAmalgamated here in the same way that

advance in Rio Tinto in London. The

In regard to football the truth might
as we'll be told. The brutality Of the
game is one Of it's chief attractions. If
players were never killed or injured
there would not be half the fascination
about it.-Kansas City Journal.
II that is the truth about football
in the West, 1t is certainly not the truth
here in the East. We do not believe it
is the truth about it anywhere. The
chief fascination of football as game,
lies in the fact that it is a sturdy and
strenuous sport where manly qualities
are essential. And the main reason
why such great crowds witness the con-
tests and get aroused to such enthusi-
asm is found in the spirit of rivalry
between the college and school parti'
sans and their loyalty to their institu-
ton and it's team. Nobody has beer
seriously hurt in the dozen years that
college football has been played in
Maine, yet from 1000 to 5000 people wit.
ness the big games: and it is something
else than the fascination of expected in
juries or fatalities which will draw
that number of people to the game a

the owner and the breeder of the great
horse Ger. Mcclellan 2.26, and won

The Work of Americanizing Hawaii.


In his last annual report before leav-
ing the office of governor to become
chief justice of the islands, Governor
Dole of Hawaii, takes occasion to la
ment that few immigrants are coming
to the Paradise of the Pacific from this
country. Though in some senses the
islands are becoming Americanized, this
is not true in a racial sense. for while
there is only a, small number of immi
the other elements of the islands-Port-
uguese, Japanese and Chinese-are
steadily gaining. While Governor
Dole's regret is perfectly natural one,
We feel that his fears of the effect upon
the future of Hawaii are unfounded.
The future Americanization of the is
land is unquestionably assured. The in
Guence of the public schools and of the
commercial and industrial interests of
the islands all tend toward this end,
and as far as the divers races are con-
cerned. it is wholly probable that
they will have the effect of cancelling
each other and will have the American
sentiment predominant, even though
entage are not numerically superior.
In none of our possessions are there
such composite races as in Hawaii
There is nothing like it in Porto Rico
or the Philippines. yet in both of these
latter cases the work of Americaniza-
ton is surely going on. Much more sure
ly is it going on in Hawaii, where ali
the traditions of generations have tend
ed to American control, and under the
American flag which now floats forever
over Hawaii, all the children of Japan
csc and Portuguese, since they cannot
themselves be Japanese or Portuguese
will become Americans; and the SAINT
is true of the other mixtures that are
going on there. The native Hawaiians
are now in the minority of the popula-
ton and cannot assimilate the foreigl
elements. While greater American i'm
migration would doubtless result in th'
| more complete and more speed!
Americanization of Hawaii, we do no
feel that there is any ground to worr!
that the ultimate Americanization OF
| ~, ;slop,,c will not he thOrOup hlS
wrought through the mixture of TIL
races there, along with the other in
fluences which are continually at work
toward this end.

The Wyomina tol.Moxers.


Here in Maine we have heard occa-
sionally, both in earlier times and in
times more recent, Of schemes for
changing the State capitol. One of the
earlier projects was successful while
those of later origin have not Jared as
well. And in many other states as we'll as
the attention of politicians, the BOOM
ers of some particular city and the pub
| lie generally. The story of the most
unique scheme of the kind comes to us
from Wyoming. The tale has the ear
| marks of the many remarkable news
paper yarns that drift eastward from
| Kansas, but it comes under Wyoming
date line to US, and that state must be
given the credit, unless later evidence
develops which shows that the cham
pion newspaper liar has moved from his
old haunts to Wyoming.
The story relates that it was not
plan to move the capitol from Cheyenne
to some rival city, but to a town not
yet in existence. The chief mover be-
hind the enterprise was Willis George
Emerson, and it is said for more than
year carefully prepared plans have
been formulated. The last Legislature
passed a bill providing that at the next
general election. which occurs in 1904,
the question of the permanent location
penitentiary, hospital and other institu-
tions shall be submitted to a vote of the
people. The plan of Mr.. Emerson, and
unlimited capital behind him, was to
spring a campaign a month or so before
the election to have all these institu-
lions located in the new city of Elmer
son. which he proposed to build in
eastern Fremont county on the Sweet
water river.
Depending on the sale of town lots to
remunerate, he proposed to build struc-
lures of magnificent proportions for |
to the State, to guarantee the building |
of Il railroad line to the new capital |
which ultima ely would become trans
continental carrier, and to carry on the |
of that section of the state |
on an enormous scale. Lacking news |
paper support, the plan was to flood the |
state with able orators, who would daz- |
Zle the voters with glowing accounts of |
the intentions of the syndicate and |
golden promises for the future. |
Through some miscarriage the plans of |
the syndicate have been exposed, and |
there is not much probability that the |
scheme can be consummated with all |
the newspapers of southern Wyoming
fighting it. So gigantic is Emerson's
scheme that the outsiders who first dis !
covered it thought themselves confront
ed by tremendous hoax, but develop
ments have proven it a bona fide prop
osition to those connected with it.
