 Comparative calm reigned among New York bankers to-day. They all realized that the pressure for money was not over, but thy felt generally that unreasoning panic was at an end and they would be able to meet all reasonable demands for currency. These demands are coming in consid- erable amounts from the west and south in order to obtain money to move the crops, and it is feared that sections where the movement is lar- gest may be more or less hampered in their efforts to obtain funds, The general refusal to pay cash for hoard ing in the west and south, as we'll as in New York, it Is believed, will pre- vent the undue absorption of currency and permit the employment of what is available in the most effective man. ner

TRIBE OF ABoRIGINEs
Small One Discovered by Professor
 Gordon in Alaska.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29,-Dr George B. Gordon curator of the department of American archaeology of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania who reached this city to-day after penetrating the Alas kan wilderness for 1000 miles on the Mrs, c. c. Harrison expedition" re- ports the discovery of a small tribe of Aborigines, hitherto unknown to ethnologlsts. Dr. Gordon calls these unknown Americans "Kuskwaga- mutes."
 He brought here a collection of their clothing, arms, utensils, etc. The tribe was found about 800 miles from the mouth of the Kuskokwim river and they were few in number. These peo- pie, pr. Gordon says, came of Atha- bascan stock, but have been conquered by the Eskimos and have almost been absorbed by them. The retain many of the ancient characteristics in speech and dress. Instead of wearing furs like the Eskimos they make the skins of looms and other great birds into robes for clothing.

CONDUCTOR NO. 1t4.
A Humorlst Who Talks and Writes
 Simultaneously.

To most of us o'clock in the morn- ing is an unearthly hour, but to those trolleymen whose work calls them out at that time there are ameliorating conditions. On certain car leaving the green about that hour there travels a crowd of motor men and conductors bound for the car barns and the days work.
 In the lot is No. 114, whose abilities in sleight-of-hand cause endless amuse- ment. It Is necessary to fill out oer- tain blanks at the end of each trip, and No IA taking time by the forelock accomplishes part of this task as far as possible in advance while enroute.
 The jolly conductor seems to find it unnecessary to glance at the complicat- ed blanks and goes on writing, seem ingly without regard to location, the facts and the figures necessary, all the while keeping running conversation with the jollying" crowd. It is an interesting conversation, and one run ming over with humor, giving as great enjoyment to the passengers as to the men themselves.

THE JUNK LAW.
Rosenbaum Case Up for Argument
 Before the Supreme Court.

A Waterbury case involving the constitutionality of the junk law statutes was argued this morning be- fore the supreme court in Bridgeport. It was entitled the state against Mor- ris Rosenbaum, a Waterbury junk dealer, who was fined in the city and district courts for not having a license to deal in junk His defense was that his firm, J, Rosenbaum & Sons, who have big junk plant on Ward street, where they employ several men, has a license, which was good for the firm. This was only one of the points on which the argument turned, how ever Attorney James M. Lynch, who made the presentation of the case for Rosenbaum, was assisted by Attorney D. J. Slavin. Attorney U. G. Church appeared for the state. All three lawyers made lengthy arguments and quoted extensively from the very small number of junk cases which have reached the supreme court. The memorandum of the supreme court in the Rosenbaum case, it is anticipat- ed, will furnish much definiteness of a mooted question.

STILL OPEN
Question of Amount of New Naval
 Construction.

Washington, Oct. 29-The amount of new naval construction to be recom- mended by the naval genenal board is after all still open. The board some time ago prepared a plan and submit- ted 1t to Secretary Metcalf and all though the details were regarded as an official secret, it is understood that the basis was the construction of two more 10000 ton battleships, in addition to the two already authorized making the un- it of four elements required by modern naval practice. In addition there were three cruisers, some submarine boats and few destroyers on the list.
 Now since the president has been ac- quainted with the original report, a disposition has been manifested by the board to change the plan. The subject was re-opened at to-day's session of the general board though no conclusion has been reached.

JUDGE ARTMAN's FAMOUS DECISION

In view of these holdings, based as
they certainly are, upon good reason and
sound common sense, it must be held
that the state cannot under the guise
of a license edlegate to the saloon
business legal existence, because to hold
that it can is to hold that the state may
sell and delegate the right to make Mid-
ows and orphans, the right to break up
homes, the right to create misery and
crime, the right to make murderers, the
right to produce idiots and lunatics, the
right to fill orphanages. poorhouses, in
sane asylums, jails and penitentiaries and
the right to furnish subjects for the hang.
mans gallows.
With due appreciation of the respon.
sibilities of the occasion, conscious of my
obligations, under oath to Almighty God
and to my fellow man, l cannot by
judgment Of this court authorize the
granting OF saloon license, and the de-
murrer to the amended remonstranee is
therefore oyerruled, the amended re.
monstrance is sustained, and the appli.
cation is dismissed at the cost of the ap-
picant."

BAD WHISKY CAUSED TROUBLE

Mr.. EDIfoR:-The small town of Odessa
was the scene of a disgraceful affair on
Monday afternoon last, when several
drunken negroes engaged in a free fight
on one Of the principal thoroughfares
Of the town. These men who are usually
orderly, visited one Of the hotels located
in Odessa on the above named day, and
afterloading themselves with bad whiskey
made their appearance on the street, and
in short while had small riot started.
Clubs and other dangerous weapons were
in evidence, and one OF the crowd pro-
duced revolver. La the mixup some
OF them were knocked down and badly
bruised up.
While the fight was in progress, they
were using the most profane language,
and some OF the Oldest citizens state they
have never witnessed such d;sgraceful
affair in the town as occurred OH Monday
afternoon.
To the writer's mind, there is one cause
for all this trouble-the presence of the
licensed saloon, which usually is at the
bottom of riots and many other disgrace
ful affairs which we SO frequently read
OF in the different Delaware newspapers.
At the time the above mentioned
trouble was going on, we are reliably
informed, that some OF the farmers who
reside near Odessa, we're looking for men
to help save their crops, but it was
impossible to get one of the gang which
engaged in the disgraceful affair.
