NEW YORK, June 19-Speculative senti-
ment powerfully and confiictingly In
fuenced today by two of the mornings oc-
currences. One was the final and definite
announcement with regard to the floating
of the Pennsylvania loan in Paris, and the
other was the sensational break in the
price OF Interborough-Metrop COM
mon stock. In the end 1t appeared to be
recognized that the first of these was by
far the more important of the two matters
and the market accordingly moved upward.
1t has been known for long time In we'll
informed quarters that the fiotation OF the
Pennsylvania loan in Paris had been prac-
tically effected. and that nothing remained
to be done beyond the working out of the
details of the transaction, but the definite
announcement was nevertheless welcomed
as disposing of the many recurrent rumors
that hitch had occurred in the undertake
Ing.
There was much interest expressed in the
accompanying statement issued by the
president OF the Pennsylvania company
with regard to the state OF the companys
affairs, and particularly In the admission
that further sums would be necessary in
connection with the completion of the New
York terminals and tunnels.
The stock market opened at a generally
higher level under the influence of the
Pennsylvania announcement, but II soon re-
acted sharply, and in all directions upon

excited much comment at the time. hence

morning was awaited with the keenest In

Chief Topic of the Day.
This mornings episode In PETERBOROUGH

emily taken that II was unwise to attempt

Out, Much as It Does Penned-
Up Game.

''The full-blood Indian is gradually
passing, just as the deer OF the wild tur-
key viii soon die If penned up, said Col.
John N. Florer. of Gray Horse. Okla,
who has lived with the Usage Indians for
33 years, reports the Kansas City Jour
nal my prediction is that in rs yesrs
more there will not be full-blood Usage
left.
When first went among the Osages
the tribe comprised between 5000 and
5000 people. Now there are but ZOO or
1,SO0 Of them, including. Of course, all

been holding their own pretty well ia

years, but they are doomed tc gprh8

"The dying out of the race is due in
large measure to the change in their
habits Of life. They used to be out in the
open air all the time, and when they
travelled it was always on horse back.
Even when they moved their camps each
Indian would round up his string OF
ponies and make pack animals OF six or
eight OF them, to carry his belongings.
Now they ride about in buggies and car
riages, the best to be had. They are rich
enough to AFFORD all the luxuries of that
sort, and. with no incentive to exertion.
their lives are about as far removed from
their former habits Of activity as could
be. !
Il was present at the council near lr.

signed by which the tribe surrendered 10
the government the Usage ceded lands in
southern Kansas, and purchased in their
stead the million and a half acres from
the Cherokees. which they have since oc-
cupied. That trade was a good thing for
the Osages. They got s1.25 per acre for
the land, and the deferred payments
were to draw i've per cent interest. That
mounted up rapidly. and is the source
Of the annuities which the Osages enjoy
to-day.

them in their hunts for years. On west

than there are in the whole country to-
day. OF course. there are lots Of the
