COLD WEATHER is

Section just Now

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Weather conditions have been unfavor-
able throughout a wide area, and while
in some instances helpful to retail trade
extreme cold or heavy SHOWS have rather
sharply checked spring trade and retarded
transportation. There is a rather quleter
feeling found also in several lines of spec
ulation and of industry. An exception to
this is found in the, South, which Sec
tion stimulated by almost undreamed- of
cotton prices, is preparing to plant an
enormous acreage. Spring trade, which
was opening UP actively in the South
west, has been brought practically TO
standstill for the time being by zero
weather.
Rather less satisfactory reports come
from the iron and steel trade. Southern
Northern iron is weaker. foundry grades

exceptions to the quieter feeling are ap-
parent, especially in some lines Of hard,
ware, which at most markets is reported
at least as active as year ago.
Cotton Goods Bought Freely.
The strain In the cotton goods branch
Of the textile market increases rather
than diminishes with the steady upward
flight of the raw material. Buyers OF
cotton goods have shown a dlsposltion
to trade more freely and to pay hlgher
prices but at all markets sellers are SLOW
to fill orders except "at value. Men

REPORTS PoNTIFF ILL.
Zionists Promise to Guard Holy sepul-
chre If Their Plan Succeeds.

PARIS, Jan. 3O-A dispatch to the
Rappel from Rome says the pope is
suffering i'll health due to physical de-
preston, and that there is talk in
Jesuitical circles that a conclave will
be held at an early date.
Max Nordau, vice president of the
Congress of Zionists, the Rappers cor
respondent says, denied the report that
DR.. HerZl, founder of the Zionist move
ment, was received by the pope, al
though DR.. Herzl had an audience on
the subject of New Zion with King
Victor Emmanuel. This took place
last Saturday and lasted five hours.
But if DR.. Herzl," the Rappel cor
respondent quotes Max Nordau as say
ing, had met the pope, under no cir
cumstances could the pontiff say to
him that protection of the holy sepul-
chre was reserved for Christians, for
it is inadmissible that the pope could
be so badly informed as to ignore that
the Zionists have always declared the
extra territoriality of the Holy City
and the holy sepulchre as one of the
first and elementary articles of their
programme. Should Palestine receive
a Jewish administration, it always has
been understood that no changes would
be made in the matter of guarding the
holy Sepulchre.'

DECEMBER EARNINGS
SHOW BIG DECREASE
Cold Weather Is ResponsibIe-RurlIneton
to Build Extensions.

December earnings of nearly all the
roads centering in Chicago which have
issued statements make a poor showing
Large decreases are reported by the Rock
Island and other big systems, and these
would have been still larger if great econ
omy in operating expenses had not been
practiced.
The principal reason for the poor show
Ing is the unusually severe weather that
has prevailed during the month, which not
only retarded the movement of trains, but
greatly increased the cost of operation.
1t is admitted that there has been a
great reduction in merchandise traffic for
which the weather was not responsible
Railroad officials. however, claim that this
is but temporary and when spring busi-
ness opens up merchandise traffic again
will be as heavy as ever. Fear is eX-
pressed. however. that business this year
will not be so heavy as last. because gen
orally dull conditions prevail during pres
idential years.
The Burlington expects TO spend more
money this year in new construction work
than any other of the Western railroads.
Besides building from O'Neil Neb., it is
planned to spend large amounts on the
main line between Denver and Chicago.
From Chicago to Red Oak, Iowa,
double track has already been laid, and
this will be continued as rapidly as pos
sible as far as Omaha.

news from Lieut.. Zuelow, in command
of the German forces at Okahandja, that
the Kaffirs have effected a junction
with the Hereros, who are besieging

hard pressed. The following dispatch
from Lieut.. Zuelow was received here
today:
"Am holding -Okahandja. Occupied it
Jan. 10 with 200 men, after heavy

strong, sent forward by rail, lost four
dead and three slightly wounded. The
enemy lost twenty to twenty five
dead. We can hold out for some time

FREIGHT WAR LIKELY
Roads Make Big Cut in Grain
Rates From Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 29.-Kansas is
the storm center for a freight rate war
in grain, and within the next fortnight
it is likely that the state will be pretty
thoroughly drained of the 20,000O0O bush
els of wheat which are supposed to be
held by the farmers.
The Santa Fe has announced cut of
cents per 100 in the rate on grain from
interior Kansas points to Galveston by
the direct route. This means that the
grain will not be sent around by way of
Kansas City, but will move direct from
Kansas to the gulf rates.
1t is expected that the other roads VIII
meet the Santa Fe's cut for gulf points,
and the probability is that the Eastern
roads, which depend for their business on
the haul to Minneapolis, Chicago or
Eastern points, will make a cut in the
rates to turn some Or the business In
their direction. instead of allowing it all
to slip away by the back door to the
gulf
In addition to the cut made by the Santa
Fe the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific
have given notice of a reduction of 2
cents in the rates to the gulf via Kansas
City.
The rate war affects the grain dis
tricts extending from the Dakotas to
Oklahoma, but the reduction of cents
from interior points does not extend
further South. than the Kansas state line
on the South
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas today
announced a 12-cent rate on wheat and
corn from Kansas City to Galveston, eff
fective on Feb. l. The present rate is
lie on wheat and 16c on corn.

 r''The place was named after Senator Teller of Colorado, and we have the only good harbor on the Behring sea. Siberia is situated across the straits, forty miles from US. We often go over into the czar's domain in large skin boots which are used by the natives. The people from Siberia come to our country in the summer an catch their winters supply of fish.
