MUST HAVE DOG MEAT.
Mlipinos at st. Louis Fair Demand
Canine Steak.


Canine Steak.
Application has been made to the st.
Louis city poundmaster by the commits
sary department of the Philippine Com
mission to supply number of dogs daily
for the canine-eating tribe Of Irrogotes
now quartered at the Quartet de Filipino
at the Worlds Fair, says a correspon-
dent. Mr.. r. Healy, in charge of this
savage tribe, stated that he would try
to procure the necessary number of dogs
from the city pound if they could not be
had elsewhere.
The Irrogotes, after they left Seattle,
did not have any dog meat for three
weeks, and they complained bitterly of
this neglect. So far the authorities in
charge have been so busy getting the
several tribes comfortably located that
they have not had time to investigate
the dog market in st. Louis. In the alb
sence of this piece de resistance Of the
Irrogotes the commissary department has
been supplying American homemade
sausage. But the % dog-eating members
of this tribe are not satisfied with this
substitution.

AFTER THE WAR, wHATP
Uncle Sam Will Have a Voice in t
Settlement Of Affairs.

Uncle Sam Will Have Voice in the
Settlement Of Affairs.
There is little doubt that the present
struggle between Russia and Japan, II
other nations do not interfere. will be
a bitter one. writes Gen. Francis v.
Greene in the Worlds Work. Should
Russia gain really decisive victory, as
she did over Turkey in 1878, she would
seek to make Japan mere Russian prov
ince. filed with splendid harbors and
forming a magnificent outpost for the
coast Of the Orient. Should Japan gain
such victory over Russia, she would
wish to dr9oe Russia entirely away from
the Pacific coast, establish herself on
the mainland, and put herself at the head
of the far eastern races. But neither
will be allowed to do what it wishes.
Wars are not ended in that way in these
DAYS, but in such a way as the great ma
tons think proper. In her last war,
Russia had Turkey at her mercy, but
she was obliged to tear up the treaty she
had made at San Stefano and tv submit
to such terms as the non-combatant ma
tions saw fit to allow at Berlin. And
in her last war, Japan inflicted a signal
defeat upon China and dictated the rerms
Of peace in the treaty of Shimonoseki,
which was ratified on May s, 1898. But
only two days later, at the dictation OF
Russia, Germany and France, the jap
anese Emperor signed a document in
which he renOunced and gave up the
chief advantages he had gained by that
treaty. Similarly now; it is quite GER
tain that Japan will not become Rus
sian province, nor will there be any "yel-
low peril under the leadership of Japan;
for no matter which side wins, the treaty
of peace will be made not by the two
combatants, but by congress Of all the
great powers, including ourselves-so far
have Unforeseen events carried us away
from the traditions of Washington. The
terms of that treaty will be such as the
great nations think best for the interests
of the whole world, and not alone OF
the two nations who have carried on
the war.

Special dispatches from
| New York.

~, Special dispatches from
| NGW lUlk. correspondents of the Inter
- national Mercantile Agency
report general trade activity throughout
western and southwestern territory. Ad-
vance business in some lines shows de-
cline from last year, with buyers every
where very cautious, ordering only such
supplies as are actually needed.
Territory tributary to St Louis is
feeling the impetus Of exposition busi-
ness" which has averaged large this
week, and promises to expand as the day
for opening the fair approaches. job
bers in most sections are doing better
than a year ago.
Textile manufacturing is quite general
ly depressed, with 80 or 40 per cent Of
machinery idle in some sections. New
England advices report unsatisfactory
trade conditions as result Of the par
tial shutdown Of cotton mills and the
decision Of prominent Fall River manu-
lecturers to curtail production from now
on. Unless relief is forthcoming gen
eral shutdown seems probable by July
or August. Southern centers show fall
ing of in dry goods compared with 1903
and 1902 figures. Boots and shoes and
clothing are about normal The Balti-
more district shows good trade, with
signs of fast recovery from fire disturb
ance.
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth sec
tions have not yet recovered fully from
the effects of the severest weather en-
countered in years. Spring business now
is fairly well under way, and the large
jobbing houses are handling. relatively
larger orders than they reported at this
time year ago. Crop conditions in that
section are good. The -four mills are
doing heavy business, farmers receiv-
ing generally higher prices. These re-
ports reflect conditions prevsking gen.
orally throughout the Northwest, where
the outlook seems excellent for a pros
porous year.
Rochester district reports nursery ship
nients fully month late. Orders for
spring and summer clothing run much
ahead of last year.. Shoe orders are
considerably less than 1903.
Conditions in iron and steel are gen.
orally stronger The staple markets,
while fuctqating sharply. have not nov
ed sensationally and are somewhat i'm
proved.
Advices indicate continued ease IN
money. There has been considerable in
quiry at New York for "over-the-year
loans.". There has been little inquiry
for six-month loans, which are ordinarily
in demand, because they would mature
this year just before the presidential
elte ton. Although gold exports have
been resumed, over $3,0O0,OO0 having
been shipped to Paris this week, the out
flow is not likely to create a stringency
or cause banks to restrict accommoda-
tions to legitimate borrowers. In spite
Of New York's billion-dollar loan ac-
count, the banks of that city hold sur
plus reserves that have been exceeded
only three times at similar period Of
the year during the last quarter century.
Most of the activity in the stock mar
ket is due to the operations Of very rich
men. Millionaire operators have been
chiefly instrumental in forcing prices to
higher level. The public in general has
held aloof.

TRADING MOSTLY LOCAL

New York, November 16,-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of point to a decline of points in response to a pretty set of Liverpool cables, The absence of fresh business gave the bears an opportunity to force the market off, and after the first few minutes, during which the prices of practically all op- tions sold about even with the close of the previous night, the market turned easier. Trading was almost entirely lo- cal.
 After declining to net loss of about Gas points, the market steaded slightly on room covering promoted by the large profits. The close was steady at net decline of 3@S points. with sales of 75,- 0OO bales. according to estimates.
 The movement is running little heavier receipts to some extent.
 Receipts at the ports today 55.5OS bales, against 50,64S last week and 75,SS6 last year. For the week SS5.0OO bales, against ssl. .9O9 last week and A7s97 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 17,89l. against 2S,sOs last year. and at Houston 14SS6 against 24S79 last year.
