YEsTERDAr,S STOCK MARKET
slightly Wider Movement of Prices

SHshtiy Wlder movement or Prices. New York. June 1.-There was slightly wider movement of prices in to-day's stock market than the recent
 average. But this was largely confined to special stocks of the dormant class. The usual market leaders were slug- gish and neglected, and their narrow fluctuations cannot be accepted as in
 dicative of any widely held opinions on the market. Many of the low priced stocks, which sold off sharply to-day, have had their appearance of specula- tive affinities in the past under pool manipulation. The common interest in these stocks of a speculative party of some prominence has constituted a vantage point for speculative opera tions in the group under leadership. The selling of these stocks for the last few days is attributed by the sellers to fears that the holdings of the specu- lative party have been largely reduced and supporting measures for the secu- rities in the market abandoned. The downward course of railroad earnings destroys the hopes of dividends, which were distinctly prospective at best. The course of events following tn ebreaking of the corner in cotton, and thespec-
 ulative collapse incident to it have a
 bearing on the speculative attitude to- ward the stocks thus involved. A num- Der of the southwestern railroad stocks
 suffered also from professed uneasi-
 ness over their financial prospects. The heavinsss elsewhere in the market was largely in sympathy with that in these
 special stocks. Reports of further large curtailnlent of the iron outpout
 in prospect helped to depress United
 States Steel preferred, and were an in-
 f1uence on the general market. So were reports of additional railroad retrench- ments, and some reflected effect of this on railroad equipments companies. The reported large demand for anthracite made coalers relatively firlner, and there was, besides, some demand from shorts to cover in the Fries on their recent decline. The money market showed no change from it's recent al-
 most nominal character, but the tone
 of time loans was reported to be very
 easy. with little demand. Sterling ex- change made a further advance There were some recoveries by the weak stocks and the last prices in the gem eral list were little changed from last night.
 There were sale sat a decline of 35 1-2

verse conditions, which are nothing short of marvellous.
 The quantity of type set in night is considerable. The average Japanese newspaper, though somewhat smaller than an American journal, contains from six to eight pages of reading mat ter. Upon each page are from five to seven columns, each colurnn containing forty vertical lines and each line hav- ing exactly twenty-five printed charac- ters. Almost every paper is illustrated by line drawings, in the production of which Japanese artists have become proficient MT. Miyamatz tells us, too, that the Paps have developed a seem- ing unsuitable appetite for fiction. No newspaper thrives which does not sup ply daily installment of novel. Judging from the descriptions these novels must be of the long-winded va riety, which characterized the early English productions-the Richardson, Fielding or Smollett kind. They con- tinue with every issue during six months or year, though one of the more notable required full two years for it's publication.
 A chapter every day for two years seven hundred and twenty-eight chap ters!
 An American must do his courting,' you will say; the heroine must come to decision, and the villain must get in his fine work in much less time than that on this side of the Pacific.''
 T suppose so,' says Mir Miyamatz. But our people eyince a deep interest In stories, and with this vehicle we are able to do effective teaching upon polit- ical and educational subjects. The nov el is always vehicle with us. and from the writer's viewpoint, is not de- signed wholly to amuse or entertain
 The influence of newspapers in aiding the development of Japan undoubtedly has been great.
 Their principal functions at first" said MT. Miyahatz, were to introduce the crude ideas Of the political institu- tions of Europe and America The source of information was, as rule, the political writers of England. The regular business of our journalists has been to cry down everything antiqua- ted and traditional, as it was the order of the day to abolish every institution not having it's counterpart in the civil lized west
 The most important influence exert ed was to arouse the public to de- mand for national assembly, In pur- suing this end many newspaper men were accused of publishing seditious matter, and many were forced to pay the penalty. But finally the increasing pressure decided the emperor, and the intention to open national diet was formally announced. It undoubtedly was victory for the press.
 And now the Japanese newspapers have correspondents at the front, marching with the sixty representa- tives of American and European jour nals who have been sent to the field. The public awaits their reports at home as eagerly as the public here awaited news from Dewey at Manila, or from Sampson at Santiago. The pa pers issue extras upon the receipt of all important bulletins. Tokio, our vis- iting Japanese declare, is as busy war capital in a newspaper sense as would | be Paris, Berlin or London.-St. Louis Republic.

CONNECTICUT NATIONAL GUARD
 AT MANASSAS.

Hartford, May 1.-Adjutant-G General Cole has written to the adjutant-gene- ral of the Atlantic division, enumera- ting the Connecticut organizations that will take part in the maneuvers at Ma nassas and their strength. The report made by General Cole shows two hum dred officers, twenty-eight hundred en- listed men, and two hundred and nine horses and covers, camp equipment tentages etc. This report will enable Uncle Sam to figure out how many cars will be required to land the Connecticut boys in Manassas, and will alsa help him estimate the amount of grub that they will get away with.

HOW BIRDS LEARN THEIR SONGS

HOW BIRDS LEARN THEIR SONGS.
 The vocal education of a young bird is something of a mystery. How does each one manage to learn it's own pe- culiar song and no other Many years ago the Hon. Daines Harrington, friend and correspondent of White of Selborne made some interesting experiments with a view to answering this question. He reared linnets under skylarks, wood- larks, and titlarks. The experiments were arranged so that each young bird heard the song of it's foster parent only. And each young linnet learned this song and retained it. though afterwards hung up with linnets singing their own song. Another young linnet experi- mented on learned the song of the Afri- can yengolina. Hence, Harrington con- cluded that the song of the bird is no more innate than language is in man. But the problem in nature does not seem quite so simple as it was in Barrington's experiments. In the lat ter the linnets heard only the one song which they learned. In nature each young bird must hear many songs. As the young blackbird, for example, lies in the nest, it hears the song thrush singing on an adjacent branch. When it begins its own vocal lessons later in the year there is the same difficulty of many songs. How does it know which to initiate, if imitation it be? Some re- cent, experiments on the same subject bring out another remarkable fact. pr.

Republican spielers at the 7

Republican spielers at the polls to-
day have been telling republican Votes
that any attempt 70 vote other than a
straight republican ticket would result
in the votes being thrown out because
Of the uncertainty of the voters in
tentions. This is rank deception The
safest way of voting is to mark every
man of your choice from presidential
electors to constable, but the voter who
wishes to vote for Roosevelt and
against the lobby state ticekt may do
so by placing his x at the head of the
republican ticket and then marking his
exceptions to straight ticket by
placing an X opposite the name of
every man on the democratic state and
county tickets or such of them as he
chooses to vote for. With these ex-
ceptions he will vote a republican
ticket.

upon Lucretia's undeniably attractive
features.
Time and the historical novel right
all wrongs, but it is a question whether
the general public really desires that
all historic wrongs shall be righted.
History. to be interesting, must have
It's Williams and it's villianesses, and
what authority, pray, has the writer
of historical novel, for taking away
the general impression and substitute
ing his own private one? The sad case
OF the late lamented poet, Byron, is
recalled. Until historical lady novel;
list turned the limelight of her own in
vention on the poet he was an allur-
ing figure of man, dare devil and in
different enough to make all the wo-
men love him and all the men envy
him. But the lady novelist took his
character in hand and made him out a
maudlin creature. - ~.
If the shade of Lucretia could be
summoned and the>uuestion put to her,
it is probable that she herself would
declare against the whitewashing. For
in the drama of medieval Italian his
tory, She is splendid adventures. To
make her out creature Of circum-
stances, merely is to rob that history
of one of it's most picturesque and
fascinating characters it is to push
the lady herself back among the pup
pets that danced only when some one
dominating personality pulled the
strings.
The public certainly has a right to
protest against the withdrawing pro-
cess. If it continues, the time will
surely come when there will not be
single wicked man or woman in all
history. Each one will have been done
over with the pastry white stuff His
tory to be interesting needs its rem
mrantesque effects of light and shade.
In the interest Of history, therefore,
the protest should be voiced. The his
tOrical novelist can make the black
blacker, and the white whittier, but they
should not attempt to introduce a uni
form color. Nobody wants it,

OREGONIAN TAKES ISSUE WITH
{ =. BARRETT.
The Oregonian says:

The OregOnian says:
THE Hon. John Barrett is slightly
in error regarding the formre prestige
or lack of prestige of the Stars and
Stripes in foreign countries when he
speaks of the old days when the flag
stood for nothing and when American
where snubbed.' The American flag
was introduced into foreign countries
by the finest fleet of clipper ships that
ever floated. They were commanded
and manned by a race of more skill
full, more intrepid navigators than had
ever before or perhaps ever will again
sail the seas. The beauty and speed
of these ships and the reckless daring
and marvellous seamanship of the men
who sailed them commanded admira-
ton and respect for the flag, wherever
1T f1oated. The American skipper of
the sos was lord of the seas, and
whenever his ship entered port any,
where in the civilized world he was
treated like a prince. Much of this
prestige vanished with the destruction
or the American merchant marine by
confederate prlvateers, which of course
mad the sanction of the democratic
party. AS for the flag standing for
nothing however, the minister to Pam
anna is very much in error. Incident
ally it might be remarked that it was
IN the old days that Commodore
rerry carried that flag into the far
east and any snubs offered it were
promptly avenged"
