LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

1t might be concluded that the weakness
shown in the street railways securities
today at the meeting Of the stock ex-
change was the comment of investors on
the measure effecting those properties
which was reported favorably yesterday by
a subcommittee of the House of Represen-
tatives.
With the exception Of the stock of the
Capital Traction Company the changes in
the figures. however, might not be looked
upon of sufficient consequence to lead
to the conclusion that the proposed Iegis-
lation Is regarded as possible at this ses-
sion OF Congress. In fact the feeling has
been all along that nothing would be done
erecting these interests at this time.
In the case of Capital Traction stock. one
quotation lot of twenty shares sold for 142,
stock. but which is a continuation Of the
downward movement which has been going
on for some days past in the deliberate
fashion which is usual in this security. 1t
preparations are being made for the coming
on the market of a good-sized block Of the
stock, but of course It is not known whether
or not that is the explanation.
The bonds of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company also made a new recent
low level, as sales were made of several
lots at S47s and S4&, while the last sale.

NEW YORK, January 16-During the
greater part of today's business session on
the stock exchange, the stock market was
pronouncedly weak and the only direct
explanation of its tendencies was furnished
by the course of number of individual
securities. The pressure upon the shares
in question melted no end OF rumors, some
of which were altogether without founda-
ton. and. ot hers were, to say the least, ex-
tremcly premature.

tremely easy, 50 this recently conspicuous

There was no news of any Importance

Soon after the opening of business the
common and preferred shares of the South

weakness. The decline in those securities
was accompanied by sharp break In the

Celina, O.. Dec. 19.-From the work

does not often befall an individual

father had died, leaving an estate of

seven heirs. There was nothing to do
in Marshall's case but to inflict the
penalty of the law for failure to pay
his board bill.

SUPPLIES A MISSING LINK.

Representative Crumpacker of Indi-

which is intended to prevent the recu"-
renee of such international complied
lions as resulted from the Malta out
RACES in New Orleans some years ago.
There is now no law under which the
killing of aliens by citizens of the
United States can be adequately pun

this missing link. 1t provides that if
three or more persons openly acting "
concert, shall purposely and unlawfully
put to death, or aid and abet in put
ting to death any person who is cit

sovereign, they shall suffer death or

of the court or jury before whom they
shall be tried
The bill also provides that the mere
assembling together for the purpose
stated shall be felony, punishable at
hard labor not less than Ave years nor
more than ten years.

which Gen. Ctoessel was told to turn
over the command of the fortress to
Gen. Smirnoffff and join the Manchur-
ian army. Gen. Stoessel disregarded
this order and it was repeated three
times. He suppressed the copy of the
order addressed to Gen. Smirnoff and
Arthur.
Gen. Kuropatkin testified that early
In May doubts had arisen as to the
fitness of Gen. Stoessel to command
the fortress owing to his nervousness.
This idea was strengthened by COM

his aid, Col. Gurko that Stoessel was a
coward and apt to lose his head during

ENDS BIG HOLDINGS
EFFECT OF RULING BY INTERIOR
DEPARTMENT.
Oregon Journal Welcomes II as Her.
aiding the Day OF Small Farms
and Crowdine Out the
-"Wheat Kings"

There will hardly be any widespread
sorrow over the new ruling of the
interior department. which compels
the farmers who lease Indian lands
20 dwell on them, says the Portland
Oregonian. 1t will have the effect of
reducing the acreage held by wheat
kings and of increasing the number
of small farmers, an advantage too
obvious to require explanation. AS
stated in a Pendleton dispatch in the
Oregonian, the Importance of this
ruling may be realized when it is un-
derstood that there are men living in
the city of Pendleton who are farm
ing as high as 5000 acres. upon which
there is not a single house. 1t will
mean the cutting up of the big hold
ings into smaller holdings and the in
yasion OF the reservation by more
humble class of growers and the
crowding out of the big wheat kings"
The present season has offered an
excellent Illustration of the advant-
ages of farming on small scale as
compared with what is generally
known as bonanza farming" Prac-
tically all of the damage suffered by
the wet weather in the interior wheat
fields was on the big farms, where the
scarcity of labor made it impossible
properly to handle the crop when il
was ready In nearly every case the
small wheat grower who was farming
about 1850 acres and could work it
without much help. succeeded in es-
Gaping injury. 1t will be y great many
years before diversified farming will
supplant wheat growing in many To-
calities in Oregon. Washington and
Idaho, but limitation on the size of
the wheat fields will be of great bene-
fit to the country In the case of
Umatilla county it will result in a
large increase in the population. some
thing which has not been noticeable
for long time. In fact. there are
some townships in the county where
the steadily increasing absorption OF
small farms by the great wheat grow
ers has resulted in decrease in popu-
lation at a time when all other por
tons Of the northwest outside of the
wheat districts, were showing sub
stantial gains.
In the Willamette Valley. which 80
years ago was producing nearly all of
The wheat grown in Oregon, diversified
farming has reached a stage where
not infrequently ten families are found
on a single quarter section that was
once devoted to wheat growing and
each OF The ten farmers is making
more money out Of his small farm
than the farmer wheat growers made
ont Of the entire quarter section when
II was devoted to wheat growing.
What the Pacific northwest needs is
more permanent residents to take the
place of that wandering army which
drifts in at harvest time and drifts out
again when harvest is over. The rul-
ing of the department will work a
hardship only on the big wheat kings.
most Of whom have done well enough
out Of the industry to live quite com
fortably on 100 acres for the remain
