REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, Nov. 5.-Oficial announce
ment was made late this afternoon that
the price of steel bilIets had been cut 81
ton by the United States Steel Corpora
ton.
At the same time It was stated that
there would be no change in the price OF
steel rails.
Heavy speculative selling Of the United
States Steel shares by Western houses
to-day. together with some liquidation in
them, produced demoralized market for
these stocks and they sold at the lowest
prices on record just before the closing
Of the exchange.
Pressure against the steel shares start
cd at the opening Of the market when
1000 Of the preferred sold from 81 to 5T,5
compared with yesterdays closing price
Of 57E.
The stock continued to slump as large
blocks Of it were thrown on the market
and without any important rallies sank
steadily to 645s and closed at 64&. This
was net loss for the day Of 81 points.
The stock previously had sold as low on
October u as 57k.
The decline in the common stock was
equally conspicuous. After it had opened
y down, at Ras, It sold at 10x and closed
at IL q net loss of ~.
A new low record was also made for the
bonds. which sold under 81.
It was natural that. with the heavy de-
cline in the stocks, there should be dis
cussion OF the future dividend policy of the
corporation, and that statements should
be made that the rate on the common
would be passed at the next meeting.
Some were so confident of this that they
offered the next dividend on the curb at
16 cents. and 1t sold at that. figure. The
rate now being paid is so cents quarterly.
The trading in the Steel issues DOM
mated the entire market The transactions
in them amounted to 10000 shares. or
more than 40 per cent of the total busi-
ness of the day.
In case the price Of materials is reduced
1t Is believed that there will be a general
cut In the wage scale Of iron and steel
workers. Changes, in fact, are taking ef-
feet all the time, and reports to-day from
Sharon, Pa. Indicate that nearly 80, 600 en-
ployes In that section are confronted with
a reduction OF from 10 to 20 per cent.
The resignation OF Veryl Preston is be-
lieved to be part Of q policy to econo-
mize in the operations Of the corporation.
1t is said on good authority that several
other officials who at present draw large
with the company. There is also a report
that the general operating force will be
moved to Pittsburg about January /.

The Acme Comedy Company played to a good house at Natatorium Hall last Friday evening. A great many children were in the audience, and they especially enjoyed the program. Prof. Lorrainefs dogs, Sport and Jo-Jo, pleased the little folks, as did also the funny sayings of Herb Bell. MT. Geo. La Franze, equiibrist and Prof. Ayers on the flying trapeze, also came in for a merited share of the applause. But it was the 3 phantoms-with Prof. Lorraine as a contortionist-that was a winner with all. A bum recently ar rested in Seattle was asked by the judge what visible means of support he had, and he very quickly answered, "my legs" Now Prof. Lorraine's legs don't look like they would support anything, but the way he bends them and twists them shows that they are mighty good stuff what there is of lem. The show was entirely free from any thing that might have been called sug- gestive, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Missionaries in Alaska.

To 'render unto Caesar such things as are Casar's, and unto God such things as are of God," is the only out line of fair and just method of pro- cedure. Whatever is more than this, or less, is builded on foundation com posed of the sands of personal ambi- ton, vanity and selfshness.
 Many good men have come to Alas ka, willing to devote their time and talents to the task of lifting up the fallen, and extending a helping hand to those in ignorance and distress, and the nobility of their lives has been great object lesson to all who would see it. We have such men with us to- day. If they came expecting that a few short years of labor would place the In dian tribes on an equal plane with the white people, they have failed, and they might have known it. But if their ex- pectations comprised only the doing good to their fellow man, many of them have been eminently successful. The idea that any one man can, even during whole lifetime spent among semi savage people, bring that people up to state of advanced civilization, is pre- posterous in the extreme.
 A common mistake among mission aries and others who come to Alaska, is that they fail to "render unto Caesar such things as are Caesar's." They for get that in the great world, or in an Alaskan mining camp, there are none that are wholly bad, and none perfect. A part of their time is spent in hurling anathemas at the man who does not be- lieve as they do, and every act of what they term sin is characterized in the most scathing language. They have erected standard, and all must come under their banner or die. Such men are living a hundred years too late. They should have lived among the peo- pie who ostracized Payne and Vol taire. Today the people know that these men were true to their conyic tions, and their memory is honored. All the world is full of imperfect peo- pie and things, yet we do not consign our offspring to the Ganges because of some physical deformity; we only love them more and foster them more ten derly. Such is christian civilization. Our brother errs; his path is strewn with thorns, by hands that should be filled with roses.
 The attempt to establish in Alaska, either by law, or by moral suasion, plane of civilization higher than has been reached in the mother country, is predestined to failure The mission aries have life undertaking ln their work among the Indians. As for the white people, these sturdy ones who stand as pioneers in this rugged land, they already surpass their fellows in the States, in honor, integrity and charity.
