Holyrood's CHAPEL Royal.
m the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Those who lament the results of much
Of the so-cailed restoration in our ancient
buildings will not be sorry to know that
Holyrood's Chapel Royal is to be left un-
touched, for with that crumbling pile are
bound up many historical memories In
that chapel the beginnings Of Anglo-Scot-
fish union were made when at the altar
there James Nv was united to Margaret
Tudor-the marriage Of the Thistle and
the Rose" There Queen Mary was twice
mated-to Darnley first and afterward to
Boutwell, Holyrood Palace. az we know it
now, was mostly the handiwork Of Charles
lis craftsmen. James II turned the Chapel
Royal into Romish building; indeed. he
wished to restore Holyrood entirely to its
original monastic purposes. But he reck-
oned without the dour Scots temperament
and the vestments and ornaments were
ruthlessly torn from the chapel and burned
by an Edinburgh mob.

Where Horse is Eaten.
from the Chicago New,

from the CnlcaBO news.
In Belgium. as in other European coun-
tries. the sale Of horseflesh is becoming
a recognized branch of the butchering
business. according to Consul McNally of
Lieg,. Scattered through Liege are many
shops selling horse meat exclusively, a
horse head attached to the front of the
in. While 1t is not forbidden for meat
market to handle both beef and horse meat.
1t is quite unusual to do 80, dealers carry
ing their separate lines. When the meat
noticeable difference is In the color which
is OF deeper red and has a coarser fiber
than the beef. Those accustomed to eat
horseflesh are loud in its praise. and de-
clare it to be as palatabe as beef, and that
many persons eat horsefesh under the i'm
preston that they are eating beef There
is no doubt that horsef1esh Is growing IN
favor. 1t sells for about half the price Of.
beef or mutton.
The dealers in horse meat are most active
in proclaiming the prime quality of their
article, and campaign OF persuasion .
now on. They contend that the horse IN
ancient times was held in high esteem:
that the eating of horsefesh was common
before the eighth century, and that In
China the horse has been eaten for coo
practicins hippohagy We're those hose of 'g Dem.
mark in 1907. when Napoleon invaded that
country. The Germans also attribute that
practice in their country to the same per-
son during the wars Of 1916 at which time
the food supply was very low. The first
hippohasfc slaughter house was created
In Pdussia in 1847. also a year of great
famine.
In Belgium the eating Of horsefesh dates
back to 1870. from which time it has been
increasing steadily. In Liege many colts
are slaughtered for sale. as well as young
horses. The animal undergoes the same
rigid inspection given to beef, mutton or
pork. The number Of horses and colts
slaughtered for Liege in 1904 was /, 2S7, and
1t is estimated at 1000 head for 1905 The
choice cuts of horse meat sell for about
20 cents a pound while the beef commands
about 35 cents.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was no change in the situation a.
developed at the meeting today of the stock
exchange. The market for local securities
remains in abont the same condition thar It
has been for some days past. The selling
movement in the New York market which
had It's greatest development on Saturday
was followed today by q species Of reaction
and there was recovery from the lower
levels In prices.
In the local market today there was no
echo Of what had happened In the larger
field. The volume Of trading was that Of
an Inactive period, and there seemed to be
no disposition to either buy or sell An op-
portunity was given in the case OF some or
the usually active stocks to buy options.
but the bids for these chances to pay inter
est on securities that some one else holds
were not good enough to make q trans
action.
A bid of So was made for an option on
100 shares of gas stock and such block
was to be had for SIN, as was also an OPP
ton on nifty shares. A quotation lot OF
twenty-five shares Of this stock sold for
56111 and then the bid for the stock was
higher.
The bid for Capital Traction stock rose
to 141 y, as compared with 140h. which was
the bid recorded on Saturday. There was
no change in the asking price, which was
143
Options on the preferred stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Railway
Company were offered at 1914, and the bid
for them was s.. The bid price for the
stock was IS and the asking price S6k In
stead of IS. as was the case on Saturday.
For the common stock 4Oss was asked for
an option and was bid. The bid at 395t
for fifty shares remained the same as on
Saturday. while the asking price was 39A.
In commenting upon Mr.. James ]. Hills
explanation in his letter to the governor of
Minnesota of the marked falling oft in rail-
way mileage to the volume of railway bust
ness. that 1t Is due to the unpopulari-y of
such enterprises in the minds of investors
brought about by the threats of indi-
viduals and political parties Of confiscat ton
or transfer to the state, financial writer
points out that Mr.. Hill las somewhat ex-
aggerated the effect of political agitation
upon the volume of capital going into rail-
way construction. In the opinion of this
authority, at least an equal effect with
politics must certainly be the revelations of
speculative tendencies in railway manage
ment.

NEW YORK. January 21.-Ten days or
more ago. when II was predicted in some
circles that the stock market would have
general advance within q few weeks. some
stock exchange houses in close touch with
several OF the largest capitalists in the
street fntfmated that such q movement
would In all probability be preceded by
rather q sharp break. It is understood that
the campaign for lower prices was en-
gineered by q group Of seven or eight welt
known operators who were not bearish on
general conditions, but believed that
handsome turn could be made on the short
side because Of the general lack Of inter-
est In the market and apprehension on the
part Of a good many persons as to the Of,
feet upon security prices Of legislation In
progress and threatened against the large
corporations.

again this morning banking interests that
took place last week. On the contrary.
they believe that the stock market situa-
ton would be materially improved on the
whole, fnasmuch as a considerable number
Of weak accounts would be cleared up and
the level OF prices would be reached which
would attract both spectators and In
vestors.
While the holders of short accounts were.
morning, 1t was the belief in certain quar-
tiers that practically. II not actually, the
lowest prices were reached on Saturday. 1t
was expected that the market would be more
or less irregular while some accounts were
In process Of liquidation. but the largest
operators were disposed to believe that
there would be substantial buying for some
days.

1t Is learned that on last Friday there was
freer offering of time money than has
been noted for several months. Stock ex-
change houses. both large and small. were
urged to take three and six months money
at 81 per cent. 1t is understood that prac-
tically all Of the large houses were not
believed that further concession would be
made In the near future. Unless some
thing unforeseen develops 1t is believed
that the market will enjoy substantial
opinion as to whether we are to have
sustained upward movement during the
coming weeks.
well-informed banker said there was
no occasion for the sharp break in the 500
stocks, except that the market for those Sc
curities Is narrow. Twin City Rapid Transit
was depressed on the idea that the COM
pany might be compelled to charge less
than cents for carrying passengers. 1t

A Fight to the Finish.

"The Interpreter" writes of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone in the July
American Magazine. One Of the most
interesting passages in the article is
that which explains why the fight be-
tween capital and labor in the gold
mining business is 50 bitter: ts.
.Basically u = and this point must be
understood before you can nderstand
the situation which has led up to.9the
present MoyerssH wood cases basic
ally, gold mining is different from al
most any other sort sof occupation.
When there, is a clash between the coal
operators and the coal miners in Penn
sylyania, for example, what happens?
If the miners win and get an advance
IN wages, the operators simply add so
much to the price Of coal and you and
1.-The public pay the bill. So it is in
the building trades and in most other
calllngs. But gold mining is different.
NV hen the Miners Union gets an %ad-
vance in wages the operators cannot
passti it along to the patient public: for
gold is a com modify of such wide pro-
portion to the cost of stransp ortation
that its price, is set by the world mar
ket. a few Colorado or Idaho mine
owners cannot put up for increased
cost Of production. Therefore when
the Union forces up wages they must
take it out Of their. own pockets and
profits or else close up their mines. y
1T comes then to be. q downright
struggle for existence between mine
owners and their workers. lf there
were no great outside world demand
ing geld the workers, provided they
maintained their Union, could BY con-
stant advances in wages drive the
owners to the wall and finally confs-
cate the operty Il: the exact method !,
