the progress of Asiatie discovery. I have more than once had occasion to wonder at his knowledge in this field. For instance, he has always closely followed even in detail every phrase of the Lop Nor controversy. In his book 'Kashgaris' he describes the discoveries which Prijevalsky made in the region of that lake; but when subsequently showed him the untenabllity Of the great Russian diseoverer's views, Ku- Topatkin was one of the few Russian scientific geographers who was con- yienced and gave up his countrymen's standpoint. Once, after had been ex- pressing to him my regret at having been forced to bring the dispute about the Lop Nor with the Russian geogra- phers, he answered quite calmly: Tt will do them good to have a lesson" In April, 1899, met Kuropatkin several times. On one of these occasions we were sitting at his writing table discussing my contemplated trip when Cossack entered, bringing huge bundle of papers in sealed portfolio. While the general was turning them over I took the liberty of asking him what was the meaning of the peculiar marks in blue pencils which I saw on the margins Kuropatkin told me that they were the military report of the week, which the Czar had just read, and that the blue pencil marks were made by his Imperial Majesty's own hand. One particular mark meant T i approve;" another expressed the oppo- site; while a third signffed T want further details and so on. I gave utterance to my astonishment that the Car found time to read through all those reports, whereupon Kuropatkin
 answered; eYes, and it is even more
 astonishing how he finds the time for
 reading through all the reports of all the other ministries" Once when I
 was dining with Gen. Kuropatkin he l had as a guest colonel who had re- Icently returned from Fashoda. After
 dinner the latter was to present to the minister of war two Cossacks, who had
 exhibited unusual proofs of courage and presence of mind by swimming
 across the Nile on some important err
 rand. Kuropatl1in, invited me to ac- company him to witness the ceremony
 which was then about to take place.
 The Cossacks were waiting in the vesti- Ibule, each wearing the gold medal
 which he had that day received from | the Czar. The general at once ad-
 dressed the two men in a short speech,
 thanking them for the example they had set to their comrades in the army,
 and then gave to each man as me imento a gold watch in a case and a roll iof gold rubles. Sven Hedin in London 4 Times.

 cy Toward Reaction.
 New York, Nov SO.-The stock mark ct continued irregularIy strong to-day on a somewhat diminished volume of business. The tendency toward reac- ton was greatest during the morning, when the pressure to take profits was counterbalanced by only a few strong points in the market. But late in the day the inroads made on the price level were largely repaired and new high points in the list were made. It was ev- ident that the large and speculative parties which have been leading the trading, were still active in the market and were diligent in conducting the leadership from one stock or group of stocks to another. During the early operations Reading was about the only defective sustaining point and it's sym pathetic effect was narrow even in the group of coalers. Erie was a conspicu- ous laggard in the proup and it's in- crease in net earnings for October was supposed not to come up to the expec- ltations of speculators. With the shift in the speculation to the western and Pacific railroad stocks the market broadened and the strength became more general. The wide advance in Northern Securities and every stock which has been connected at any time with the gossip concerning the suppos- ed Northern Securities settlement re- sponded. There was the usual list of sharp gains in specialties and indus trials, which has been a prominent feature of each day's market recently and a number of high grade investment stocks made marked responses to a brisk buying demand. The heaviness of f the early market was due largely to the disquiet causd by liquidation in the United States Steel stocks. This gave credit to the supposition that the re- cent support of these stocks has been for the purpose of helping the distribu- tion of the sinking fund bonds which has evidently been going on and which

it is even reported that some of the

his gaming house. The ear was nailed
