Big Holdings of Stock.

Between 1900 and 1000 shares of this
stock are understood at the printing
! office. to be held by members of the
| families Of people in the employ of the
printery. This would represent from $22,-
| 500 to $4,000 cash value at the quotation
, of SIS per share.
The terms on which these holdings
were acquired have had a particular
| interest for people at the office who
are not interested in any such invest
ments.
1t Is said that one prominent employe
who is, or has been recently, consider
ably interested in this stock, was not
summoned before the Keep commission.
Some surprise is expressed today thar
the investigation should have ended
without his being called.
Oplnion Is. now that the first inquiry
mas passed the stage of taking testi-
mony, that there will surely be a furth-
er investigation, either by the present
commission or by new one especially
named by the President for the purpose;
by the Congressional committees on
printing; or, finally, by a grand jury.
Ihus there are plenty of possibilities In
the situation. They are discussed in
printing circles with much interest
To Sustain Contract
One story that was told in financial
circles today was that the Lauston con
tract was expected TO be sustained On
the strength of this report Lanston
stock sold C1 the curb at Il point above
the Saturday quotation, going TO I41z
That the contract would be sustained
was a report said to come from an au-
thority close to the Keep Commission.
This story that the contract would be
sustained was based on the under
standing that when the President raised
his objections to further procedure and
ordered the investigation. the prize had
already been pulled in by the Lanston
people. The question then concerns the
legal status of the contract.
There is no doubt that the contract
was executed. The understanding is
that the requisition for the supplies
namely, the seventy-two ruachfnes-fs
understood to have been held up by the
Presidents order. Whether this vitiates
the contract already executed Is a
question which has received earnest
consideration.
It is supposed that there Will be no
more public proceedings in the matter
for d month or more. The lawyers in
the case have till July % TO prepare
their briefs Then the commissioners
must digest and assimilate the essen
tial facts; meet, agree on a report
and prepare 1t. After that it must go
to the President, be considered by
him, and action taken.
This, 1t is thought. VIII require at
least q month.

STEER RUNS AMUCK.
Scares Young Launry Clerk Into
Mysteries.

The people OF Mt. Pleasant have no doubt
often heard the story OF a bull In china
store" but yesterday afternoon shortly
after 3 o'clock they had a practical demon
stration OF this old game when large long
horned steer strayed from a herd being
driven through that section OF the city and
entered a laundry located at 14O4 Park
street northwest, causing considerable ex-
element and the loss of large plate glass
window. The trouble started when the
driver of the herd attempted to pilot his
charges safely along Park street. which at
that point Is very narrow. When he passed
the laundry one OF his herd seeing an open
door Immediately left the herd, entered the
store went behind the counter, awakening
the young lady, who was taking her after
noon nap. and threw her into Mysteries.
from which she tainted and did not recover
until doctor had been called. The steer then
becoming frightened. and. seeing the door
blocked by the driver of the herd attempted
to make his exit through the window, bur
only succeeded IN getting his head through
and then, feeling the glass cutting him.
withdrew that portion OF his anatomy
turned around and walked out OF the door,
strutting Off down the street as though
nothing had occurred to mar or break the
monotony Of his everyday life.

they We're first imposed Taft jollied a
few of the influential natives into pay
ing them, by persuading them that by
doing as the Americans wanted them
to do, they were really serving their
own best interests. Wright on the 9TH
er hand has simply pointed to the law
and insisted that it must be obeyed.
While Tafts way undoubtedly has Is
merits on the score of governing with
out friction, it is after all merely a
measure of despotism, and entirely for
eign not only to the American idea Of
government but to all ideas of repre-
sentative government. In representa-
tive government the idea is that a law
when made is an expression of the will
of the people, and hence any failure to
obey it, in the individual, is a crime or
mIsdemeanor for which the ordinary
processes of the courts and the police
are sufficient, and in the mass or in 4
class, is incipient rebellion, for whicn
the military force of the country is pro-
vided.

minority. But among a people who will
not obey a law, not because it inter-
feres with their rights, but simply be-
cause they are not accustomed to it or
do not like it-until they are "jollied"
into it-majorities can be trusted Meth
er to govern nor to respect the rights
of minorities. To require 'jollying" in
to obedience of law assumes a normal
state of rebellion, potentially if not in
fact.

is exemplfied in the scheme in opera
ton at Sechart, ON the west coast OF
Vancouver island, where whaling
station costing $4,000 has just been
established. One hundred men will
be employed there in Transforming the
carcasses of whales into various profit
able products, every part of the levia-
than being utilized But the whales
have first to be caught, and this part
of the business will be done by the
modern steam whaler Orion, recently
arrived from Europe, ana which will
cruise about off Sechart, where whales
abound in great numbers Instead OF
using small boats in the chase, the
whales will be harpooned by modern
devices from the deck of the Orion,
and patent reels and special winches
will help to take care OF the whale af-
ter he is conquered. The bone alone
in a large whale is frequently worth
$25 900. The monster, after being
caught, win be hauled ashore at the
whaling station on a sort of marine
railway, when the process of dissec-
ton will follow at the well-equipped
station at Sechart. A similar station
may be established next season in the
Gulf of Georgia, probably near Nanai-
