Gossip In Wall street has always had 1t
that a prominent representative of the
miners used to have pretty direct tele-
phone communication with a man who Is
regarded as the leading present day bear
operator in stocks. In recent years stock
market effect OF labor troubles has played
a part in the campaigns of labor leaders,
who endeavored to use all the weapons at
their command In the steel strike In 1901
the fact that the probable effect of the
strike on the stocks Of the new United
States Steel Corporation was considered in
the councils of the union was disclosed in
revelations made during the progress OF
the strike.

Wall street man who is in touch with
some large anthracite coal interests said
this morning:
"Of course. the most important overnight
news, from Wall street point of view at
least was the fiat refusal made by the an
thracfte operators to each and every one
of the demands Of the miners union.
80 far excellent informa ton and good
opinion goes, this spells strike. barring
pretty complete and voluntary breakdown
by the miners or retreat, induced by the
pressure OF public opinion or the influence
OF President Roosevelt Some time ago
Wall street understood that the national
executive was prepared to support the find
ings OF the anthracite strike commission on
which the three-year agreement which ex-
pires at the end OF this month was based.
The anthracite operators rest their case
now on the findings of that commission. and
in the view of the financial community their
position Is very strong one before the
country. So far as the attitude of the
miners Is concerned. leading Wall street in
terests made up their minds months ago
that the leaders of the miners were looking
for trouble.
The demand for a one-year agreement
only Is interpreted showing the desire
OF the leaders of the miners to be unham
pered by contracts. SO that they may be In
q position to gain any advantages that
may accrue from the political aspects OF a
threatened or actual strike. when prepara-
LUIS oeShH lor the campaign 10 erect d
successor to President Roosevelt. In its
stock market bearings the situation. 30 far
as II has yet developed, has probably been
pretty fully discounted in the recent heavy
fall In prices. How the stock market may
be effected later will depend on the extent
and duration OF such a strike may be
declared.
THE anthracite operators are in good po-
sition to fight strike and even to profit
by It, for they have stored large quanti-
ties of coal II looks now like an anthra-
cite strike at least, but there are those in
the financial district who believe that there
will not be one, and that II there is 1t will
be short lived"

NEW YORK. March 12.-If there Is to be
a gold import movement this spring 1t
should. according to the foreign exchange
experts. be inaugurated this week How
ever. Wall street attaches too much import
ance to gold movements. The actual value
OF gold imports now would be largely sentt-
mental. So far as the money market Is con-
cerned 1t does not make much difference
IL gold is sent from abroad or foreign credit
is freely extended here. and there has been
very free supply of foreign loans In the
market lately.

FINE TREES CUT FOR FUEL
GREAT ACTIVITY SEEN AT NINTH
STREET AND NIcoLLET AVE-
NUE. PROPERLY ACTIVE. 49, d.. =: :"

More than. thirty cords of wood will
be the output from the destruction of
fourteen trees ON the A. M. Reid estate
at Ninth street and Nicollet avenue.
John +. Brouwer-Ancher, who owns the
property, would not admit today that
there. was any object in removing the
magnificent old shade trees other than
that the timber in the mis- valuable.
1t is well known, however, that rea
estate activity at that corner is al
boiling point, and that in all probabil.
1ty the corner will be taken 1lp for
building purposes. Many plans have
been suggested for the corner in past
years, but they have come to naught
In this instance it is expected that
one of the three deals that are on NAV
amount tc something. ees..,.,lss;, :
/. Excavation of the diagonal corner
on Nicollet is under way and erection
Of building will follow at once, The
foundation will be- made heavy enough
to carry a larger building than will
likely be put up at this time. : g :
heal estate men are busy with talk
about the old Sea block corner, owned
by q. ID. Dayton, as they are also
over negotiations believed to be under
way, for the Plymouth corner
The Reid corner measures 1914 feet
on Nicollet with a depth Of 225 feet
on Ninth street. At one, time a syndi:
cate was being formed to take in the
Reid corner. as well as the johnson
corner adjoining, which would make a
block frontage on Nicollet avenue. In.
asmuch as retail trade: is working south
on Nicollet. the plan was considered q
feasible one by business men, and may
yet be realized. ~ S.: =.s. :

deer CAME TO CITY
|. TO. DODGE HUNTERS.
SECTION MEN NEAR TONKA
BEACH HAVE CHASE.
Another Deer Is Seen Near Lake Mia
newashta, Close to Excelsior. Pur-
sued by Wolves Lucky Shot by
Farmer Kills One Wolf and Ends the
Pursuit.

Hunted outaof the Hbig woods'' by
scores of city sportsmen, the deer are
coming into the environs of Minneapo-
lis. where their instinct tells them the
hunters would never think of looking
for. fourr-footed game.
A gang of section men on the Great
Northern road, just beyond Minnetonka
Beach, today were surprised beyond
measure when they noticed that what
they had taken for Jersey heifer graz
ing IN the bushes, was. in reality full
grown doe. The animal showed little
sign OF fear till the men gave chase,
when it bounded gracefully away. For
the remainder of the, morning the sec
ton foreman had hard work keeping
his men engaged, as they had had a
taste of the chase and persisted ! in
watching the bushes for chance to
secure some fresh meat.
Another deer was seen last evening
near Lake Minnewashta, close to Elk
celslor. The animal was being hotly
pursued by three wolves and was seem.
1ngly about to be pulled down when a
farmer shot one Of the wolves and the
other two gave up the chase. -.
This appearance Of deer SO close to
the city is Of piece with reports from
the east. where there have been no
less than four cases of attacks of
bucks in localities settled for many
years. Even in Connecticut, deer are
coming into the villages within thirty
miles of Hartford, and ais they are
protected by law, they are growing
almost unafraid Of human beings.

WAR SPIRIT IS DROWNED
FIREMEN TURN HOSE ON CAMP
OF BOYS ENGAGED IN TTIEoRET-
10 INDIAN CAMPAIGNS. ...

All the war spirit was drowned out
of half a dozen schoolboy braves last
night when the fire department turned
the water batteries on their camp at
N1collet avenue and Thirty-foaurth
street. -
$ Answering the call of. the wild The
boys gathered about a bonfire in q hole
some distance from the street. War
stories were told and battles were
being planned when the neighbors be-
came suspicious. The heavy fog made
the, campfire look like burning vii.
lage and someone turned in an alarm.
-, The engine companies, rushed out<the
avenue at record speed, but the rattle
and clang, had no attraction FOR the
boys who sat still, listening to their
Leader, while the fremen connected
their lines. Thinking a peat fire had
been started the firemen threw" the
stream into the hole to make mick ict
work Of the blaze.
The warwhoop that followed the first
splash rooted the fremen to their
places, but the =. fright of the, bows
nearly gave them wings. In every, di-
,reetion small, darg figures could be
seen, running across vacant 7lots TO-
ward home and warm fire. j So.
] nit was the most effective curfeW that
the boys ever ran up against and none
OF, them stopped to. learn whether there
had been waterspout or an earth
quake. It required a second to: put
the campfire out of business.

LOT Terry SCHEME,
/ NR ! E IN THE BUD
LOCAL POSTAL AUTHORITIES
coNFIscATE 5000 LETTERS.
Envelopes Contain Glowing Advertise
ments Of Danish Lottery, In Witch
Half the Tickets Draw Prizes
Scheme Is one Of Biggest and Bold
! est Handled by Minneapolis offcials.

Believing that an extensive lottery
scheme was about to be worked in Min
neapolis, the postoffice authorities to-
day. opened letters bearing the post
mark of Copenhagen, Denmark, and as
q result more than 5000 undelivered let
ters have been coniscated in Mime
apolis. All of the envelopes opened
containe advertisements for the Dan
ish colonial class lottery and attract
small sum and make fortune.
The confscated mail undoubtedly
came from Copenhagen. Each letter
bore the Danish stamp and postmark,
but the printing on the circulars is in
English and the inducements offered to
participate in the lottery are worded
with an idea Of appealing to American
fancy. The lottery is said to be tspriv-
LEGGED and guaranteed by the state Of
Denmark, and it is announced that
of $4,000 tickets issued $4,000 are sure
to win.y The cash prizes, according to
the circulars, aggregate $50, 460,7S0
francs or more than $1,O00,00e. With
the circulars advertising the lottery
are enclosed envelopes designed to
rcary remittances to Denmark and adj
dressed to Muskow & Co., Copenhagen.
Deal Big One. :,..la,.,, n.
The confscation Of the letters BY the
authorities is one Of the largest con-
fiscations in the history of the local de-
partment. More than $3.50 had been
spent on the postage on the documents,
and if similar action is taken all over
the country the lottery 'schemers will
be considerably out Of pocket. 81:
Local authorities are inclined to be-
lieye that hackers of the scheme in
Copenhagen, planned to evade the anti
LOTTERY laws in the United States by
doing business by mail and not figure
on the vigilance of Uncle Sans Off
cials. 1t is thought probable that
agents in different parts Of the country
are to solicit for the. lottery, and no
.tice is given by the local departments
that no mail order remittanees TO Mus
;kow & Co., will be assumed by the de-
partment This action has been made
necessary by the fact that some. of the
letters were delivered to. their destina-
tions before the nature Of their: con-
tents was aSertained. -
