greater part OF the skins bought by
the company throughout the genera
tons has been caueat by the Indians
and sold to IT,
But do the Indians know the value
OF their furs?'
Most, assuredly They are shrewd
traders and are determined to get all
that each skin Is worth. We pay more
or less for skins according to the place
sold. the amount being regulated some-
what by the cost OF transportation.
Goods, for instance. cost more In VIM
nipeg than IN Montreal. and they, must
necessarily cost great deal more at
our far-away posts where the diff
Guilty of getting them there Is so great"
HUDSON BAY AGENTS.
Where do you hire your traders. Mr..
Chipman?"
The most of them are of Scotch
origin. We bring them over as boys
Of II, and, as a rule, they expect to
spend their lives with the company
They learn the Indian language and
are gradually advanced from post to
post. We have civil service rules. and
men are seldom discharged except for
cause. Some are paid good salaries,
and in due time the employees are re-
tired with pensions"

THE FUR BUSINESS.

said Commissioner Chapman That Is

many or so few beaver skins. Upon
our flag you viii see the words PRO

wiling to give fair value for what
we buy. In the words Of President
Roosevelt il might be called the motto
of the square deal The trading Is
still by barter
"Then the company has not taken
advantage OF the Indians
Il think not replied the commits
sioner. The Indians look upon the
company as business partner, Good
feeling has always Obtained and this
is the case today. Indeed our rela-

mo, that is not so" replied the Hud-
son bay commissioner; our field IL
practically the same that II has always
been We have about $50 trading posts
scattered here aud there throughout
British North America They extend
from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific and
from the United states boundary to
the mouth of the Mackenzie river"
"But how can the company control
such vast territory Mr., Chipman?'
asked.
I'VE have the country as carefully
Ctganized ava any wholesale dealer or
ganizes The territory of his trade. The
wlds Of British America are divided up
into districts and subdstricts Each
district has its chief trader. with sub
ordinate traders under him, The under
traders report TO their chiefs and the
chiefs report 60 me and | report TO the
directors az Loudun Everything is
controlled from London and the direc-
tors there know just as well as | do

We give detailed reports Of the coudi-
tions at every post our system Is
thorough ana at the same time It Is
so simple that we can tel Just whar
the trade Is, what goods are needed and
what skins we may expect, We can es-
innate the demands and supplies from

'ln some respects. yes" replied the
commissioner Although the most Of
II ~ managed just as 1t was generations
ago, The Hudson Bay company has al
ways been known as ancient and hon-
ofable. II now adds the word progress
sye to its titles. Its great changes
came with the settlement of the north
west. When the railroads we're first
built across British North America the
laborers Iound that the only places they
could gel tobacco, clothing and other
supplies were at our posts. This start
ed their trade with us and this In
creased as the settlers came in We
found It necessary 10 establish stores
at various places to supply this new de-
mand, and the result is we have a
series OF mercantile establishments
scattered over the Canadian Dominion.

goods. They are somewhat like the de-

TIEUP ON THE BRIDGE.
THOUSANDS WALK TO BROOKLYN
IN EVENING RUSH HOUR.

Broken Generator stopped the Trains
for 81 Minutes First One and Then
the other Roadway Was Opened to
aIkers-RI Life 10 Get Out Of Cars.
The bursting of a generator in the power
house at the Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn
Bridge caused one of the worst brushes
of the year at the Manhattan end Of the
bridge last night. The broken generator
put all elevated trains out of commission
for ~forty-one minutes at the very worst
time Of the day, from 6:S4 to 8:35 P. NJ. So
prompt was the action Of Capt. Brophy OF
the Fourth police precinct, however, in
opening the roadways to pedestrians that
not a single accident resulted from the heavy
crush.
The ordinary rush Of people 10 Brooklyn
at the close of their days labor in Manhattan
was augmented by thousands intent on
an early start for Coney Island to be on hand
for the opening night Of the weeks festivities
OF the Mardi Gras.
Several trains we're stalled on the bridge
when the power gave out, and when the
passengers realized that they we're in for a
long siege hundreds took their lives in their
hands and 'clambered across to the road
ways.
A. soon as Capt. Brophy ordered all
gates on the outgoing platforms closed
thousands TOOK to the promenade to get to
BROOKLYN, where the trains we're running
as usual. They soon became densely
packed. Seeing trouble ahead II there
was not come relief from the congestion
the captain ordered the north roadway
closed to trafic. and az soon as the last
vehicle had crossed from Brooklyn he
OpeneA the roadway to pedestrians.
The promenade was Immediately thinned
out, but the passen gers refused to walk
across the roadway. They simply walked
I'D a few hundred feet and boarded the in
coming surface cars. Several we're thrown
a. they attempted to board the moving
cars, but no one was injured. Then. at go
O'Clock. the roadway was again closed TO
pedestrians, and although the traffic was very
heavy on the south roadway Capt. Brophy
ordered it closed TO vehicles and opened
TO pedestrians. This served az a relief
but caused a blockade Of vehicles at the
Manhattan end and on Park row. Many
were driven to various ferries and a heavy
crush on the boats was the result.
The generator was repaired by6 ;3S o'clock,
and after the trains had relieved the con-
Gestion sufficiently the south roadway wa
again opened to vehicles.
At $50 O'Clock, a few minutes before the
blockade began, two men we're injured
while attempting to board De Kalb avenue
car No. 54S on Loop 3. They attempted
to climb under the guard rail on the wrong
side and were crushed between the car and
a pillar. Michael Jacobson, II years old, a
ciRarmaker Of 1856 Steuben street, Brooklyn,
got a fracture Of the left upper arm and
Commissions Of the back; and Charles Metcalf,
IS years old, a laborer, Of SOs Pulaski street,
Brooklyn, was Injured about the back.
Both went home.

TO AVERT TARIFF WAR.
object OF Q Delegation OF VINO
Saw the President Yesterday.

Object OF o Delegation or Gernnns WIN
Saw the President Yesterday.
OYSTER BAY, Sept. lin An attempt
to avert a tariff war, which they declare
70 be imminent between this country and
Germany, a delegation Of German manu-
facturers, headed by George Voseen, a
manufacturing chemist Of Aix-la-Chapelle,
and Bernhard Cohnen, a member OF the
German Reichstag, called on President
Roosevelt to-day. The object OF the dele
CATION was to bring about a continuation
of the reciprocity agreement between this
country and Germany. This agreement
expires next July.
Herr Vossen, who acted a. the spokes-
man for the delegation, said after his visit
to Sycamore Hill that the President had
assured him that he would do all in his
power to further and maintain the present
friendly trade relations existing between
the two countries. Herr Vossen and his
companions declared that they had asked
for no revision OF existing tariff schedules,
but merely wished the abolition Of a number
OF customs abuses.
Herr Vossen declared that German inn
porters were subjected to various petty
~oyanc by the American customs off,
Gals and that the feeling aroused by these
~annoyancesw was being used by the agrarian
party in Germany as political capital in
their desire to bring about a trade war.
He asserted that a reform OF the abuses
had been promised a year ago, when the
present trade agreement between the coun-
tries was entered upon, but that nothing
had been done up to to-day and that there
was a growing feeling among German ex-
porters that they were being triied with.
Herr Vossen intimated tina certain Amer
lean manufacturers were doing their best
to further the persecution to which German
exporters were subject. He complained
especially of having to swear in invoices
to the market value Of all exports, explain
inc that many Of the exports Of German
manufacturers were made exclusively for
the American market and were OF such a
nature that their market value was almost
impossible to determine.
I'VE do not seek tariff revision" said
Herr Vossen, partly because We INC it
to be impossible at present and partly
because we now that II must come OF itself
in two or three years. Blu II the present
nuisances in the administration OF your
custom house are not abated before next
July the Agrarian party, which is at present
very strong in the Reichstag. will be able
to bring about a trade war which will be
very injurious to both countries"
Herr Vossen said that he would be back
in Germany in January to urge his fellow
exporters to maintain the present friendly
trade relations il possible. Herr Vossen
and his colleagues said that the President
had listened with keen interest to their state
ment Of the situation. He has referred the
delegation to the State and Treasury depart
ments and has indicated that he will give
consideration to any report which may be
made by the officials OF those departments.

SDscial Cdbis Despatch 10 THR SUN
PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE Journal says that
inquiry into the history OF the gang Of
counterfeiters whose leader was arrested
yesterday in his private mint at Abort
shows that the gang not only flooded France
with bogus ten franc pieces but carried
on its operations in foreign countries. In
the premises raided yesterday the police
found correspondence with confederates In
Dresden, London. Edinburgh and Barcelona.
Other papers show that preparations were
being made to operate in Chicago, in the
Argentine Republic and in other parts OF the
world. SO far ffty-five persons are under
arrest, and II 10 expected that this number
will be doubled a. the result OF investAgn-
tons now in progress. Efforts are being
made to conceal the names Of some Of the
prisoners, because Of the prominence OF
their family connections.
The counterfeit coins were passed by
the gang principally in shops in the centre
OF the city and at the racecourses. On the
day Of the Grand Prix alone 400 Of the
counterfeit coins were put into circulation.
Some Of these were silver two Franc pieces,
which bear the allegorical figure OF a
woman sowing corn.
But the most perfect counterfeits ssued
by the gang are limitations Of gold ten
franc pieces, made Of tough glass, gold
plated. They are OF the proper weight
and have the ring OF the genuine coin.
The plating, however, soon wears on and
the glass IL liable to break unless IL is
carefully handled.
