THE FOREIGN MARKETs

LONDON, April 1.-THE stock exchange
during the past week felt gradually the
effect of the government disbursements
and the money released in trade channels
This being reinvested in good yielding
securities impaired a more cheerful tone
to the markets generally. and even the
Kafir section showed signs Of improve
ment.
The event Of the week was the very
great success Of the county council loan
which was oversubscribed nearly forty
times. This showed that there is plenty
of money available for good investment
and dealers are consequently more hope.

Financial News Letter
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Mr. Hartman
dramatic Intervention for the salvation of
Erie adds very greatly to his prestige and
will make 1t easier for him to finance the
impending $4,000. 900 Union Pacific loan
and the $4,000. 900 Illinois Central loan in
London and New York. The street on
hearing what Mr.. Hartman had done
jumped to the conclusion that he had be-
come the dominating factor in the Erie
system and that he would presently annex
it to Union Pacific, making 1t the north
ern arm Of his transcontinental line. He
already reaches the seaboard by way of
Baltimore and Ohio. Erie will give him a
northern outlet.
y x
1t is barely possible that this Hartman
conclusion In regard to Erie is erroneous.
Just where the new deal may ultimately
land the Morgan party is at this writing
one of the uncertainties. There can be no
immediate expulsion Of Mr.. Morgan and
his friends from the Erie management.
for they are IN overwhelming control OF
the board Of directors, committees and Of
flcials. It is not pretended that Mr. Har-
riman Is in the majority control of Erie
stock. or that he il In position to do
any arbitrary ousting Of people he might
not like. It may turn out that the Nor
gan people are merely letting Mr.. Harri-
man mix in to the extent Of supplying
the necessary funds. his real object be-
ing more to bolster up his credit at home
and abroad against new and very impor-
tant bond notations, and that In the end
the transaction will give him very little
added power in the control OF Erie affairs.
Mr.. Morgan's open Indifference to the
recent troubles In which Erie found itself
involved has puzzled Wall street not a
little. and those who assume to look under
the surface and obtain an X-ray under
standing Of what Is going on there think
they see In the incidents and development
Of the last few weeks a disposition on the
part Of Mr.. Morgan to get even with Mr..
Hartman by throwing upon the latter 8
shoulders the burden Of carrying the
Erie railroad through a crisis-the partic.
ular thing mentioned as having grouched
Mr.. Morgan being the part taken by
Hartman In stopping the sale of Cincin-
natl. Hamilton and Dayton to the Erie
Company. Mr.. Hartman successfully
overthrow that beautiful merger scheme
and threw the c., II. and D. road back on
Morgan's hands, infiicting loss upon him
Of several million dollars, whereas he had
arranged to clean up big profit In the
unloading.

WHITE PEOPLE
TRUST IN ROBERTS

Sailor Roberts will be back by the
U. S. S. Iroquois today in ample time
to fill his engagement with Mitsuka
at the Orpheum tomorrow night He
is expected by his trainer to be all the
better for his sea trip and will taNe
the mat in shape to wrestle for his life.
Mitsuka was feeling in high spirits
this morning. He has reduced a few
pounds in weight and will be all the
better for this. His wind has impTov-
ed wonderfully, thanks to the road
work he has been dong. His trainers
have been particularly careful in this
respect, for they realize that the bout
may be long drawn out one in which
condition will be an absolute essential
toward winning.
The japanese will be out in force
tomorrow night to cheer their man
with loud banzais and if he wins there
will be a great unplugging sof sake
tubs.
1t was stated this morning that 5000
will be on hand at the Orpheum to-
morrow night which will say that Nit
! suka wins.
The white portion of the community
is looking upon Roberts as a champion
whom they trust to uphold their pres
tige. II he leafs the big Jap he will
become hero and will wear Froelech-
er's championship laurels, at least I'M
til that worthy returns to these shores
to challenge for the title which he won

Sentiment in that committee is divided
on the question of an increase, but
there is a possibility of securing it. 1
have every assurance that the Pearl
Harbor bill proper will have practical
ly no opposition in the Senate Com
mittee
The Senate has made increases on
the Fertilization bill to complete the
Pearl Halbor Notifications. This in
crease will probably be rejected by the
House conferees, on the ground that
the work need not be completed in full
till the channel is nearly opened for
battleships.
In accordance with our understand
ing with certain of the House leaders,
we have not pressed the shibping~1aw
amendment, pending the consideration
of the mail subsidy LII.
Unfortunately for us, the Democratic
filibuster will make it well nigh i'm
possible to get that bill, or any other
or our separate measures, through the
House. The Democratic leader relG-Ss
to allow any bill whatever to be CON
sidered by unanimous consent. The
only other method of securing consid-
Grafton of bill for the remainder OF
this session will be suspension of the
rules. This requires a two-thirds vote
to pass a measure, and it is very
! doubtful whether we could secure a
! two-thirds vote in favor of my ship
ping bill in the face of the opposition
of the shipping interests.
If however the subsidy bill wholly
fails we may be able to get my coast
wise-law amendment through in the
closing days of the session.

OF A SYSTEM FOR THIS TERRITORY

As one OF the chief results OF mis-
trip to the mainland Superintendent
Babbitt, of the Board of Education, is
preparing plans for a system of med
ical examination in the local schools.
This is a matter which has received
serious consideration in the schools in
the East and which has been found to
work out with Almost invaluable re-
suits, The plan is through a system
of inspection, which will be carried on
both by doctors and the teachers, to
keep careful eye on eye, ear, nose

The schools of the state of Massachu-
sets have taken the most advanced
methods up and they were carefully
looked into by Mr.. Babbitt while he
was in Boston. The value of the meth
cd is shown most clearly in eye or ear
troubles or with slight curvature OF
the spine, in which a little attention
to a child may prevent an ailment
which would prove to be incurable lat

sent to put up Raisuli's tent, while l
was left without food, sitting until
night in the burning sun, with hot,
dirty jellab over me. Raisuli knew
how l was treated, for he and his
nephew passed close to me seated on
the ground in the sun, and took no
notice of me. The I'll Khmes tribe
urged Raisuli to give me up, but he
put the guard around his tent, and
declared that he would fight first"
SHOOT ME- IF YOU WILL"
Fearing that the tribesmen might
insist on bartering the prisoner for
immunity from attack, Raisuli deter
mined to remove the temptation. In

to put on Moorish clothes. and was

feet of the presence of the Sultan's

l had fever, and my temperature rose
to 1902. I was i'll for a week, but got

And now began a period of perse-
cution that reduced the prisoner to
a skeleton but left his spirit unbrok-

kept in close confinement under con-
ditions that would have daunted a
less proud and obstinate man. Not

KAID MACLEAN'S STORY

Sir Harry Maclean (Kaid Maclean)
has furnished the special correspon-
dent of London paper with the story
of his recent imprisonment, after
having gone as an envoy to the Chief
Raisuli, who treacherously detained
him. Before l left Fee in June SO
runs the Kaids story the Sultan
gave me letters for Raisuli and for
some of the tribes. His Majesty told
me to hand these letters to the chiefs
of the tribes, and not to give them
to Raisuli He also babe me leave
nothing undone to induce Raisuli to
come to Fee. ST Abd-es-Slam Kir-
wani, nephew of Raisuli, met me in
Alcazar, and swore by everything a
Moor can swear by that Raisuli would
come to Fez-that he wanted to come
with me, only l must do nothing to
cause Raisuli to think l was not
playing fair, as he had received no
end of letters telling him not to trust
me. For that reason | took with me
only few of my men.
when l met Raisuli at the river
he was awfully nice. He asked me
to come a little way into the chiefs
country to show that / also trusted
them, and to give them their letters
from the Sultan. made Raisuii
clasp hands and swear by everything
he held sacred-even by the local
saint who is his patron saint and an
cestor-that he was going to act fair
ly. He did all these things, and add
Il oh oh
think that he would behave i'll, You
ought not he said, to talk in this
way. Am l not going to put my life
in your hands by accompanying you
to Fez?'

quarter of what Raisuli and his ne
phew said to persuade me. Soon af-
ter we passed the river l knew it was
my Rubicon, and that | was entirely

mad WITH SHAME"
Next day, continued Kaid Mac
lean, when Raisuli sent his scribe,
FL Dowie, to tell me that | was a
prisoner, | was mad with sorrow and
shame, for instead of helping the Sui
tan | had made matters worse for
him, and had put my own Government
in a difficult position. l felt inclined
to kill myself, in order to help the
Sultan, and to prevent Raisuli from
making anything out of his treach-
cry"
The Moorish Government tried to
negotiate, and failed. Then it sent
two utterly inefficient armies against
Raisuli
when the Sultan's soldiers came,
says the Kaid, "Raisuli told the peo-
pie that / had sent them, and asked
me to write letters, insisting on their
withdrawal. OF course, could not
write such orders. was indeed glad
to hear the firing, but the armies
were no good. In the last attack not
a single man on Raisuli's side was
killed. If 1 had waited till the arm
les released me l must have waited
for ever.
"Raisuil, realising that / would no
help him, and suspecting me of urg
ing the Government to active mea
sures, determined to give me a bat

mules were taken from me, and afte

Raisuli received Mr. Cartoons let

cal.

"came to see me on the morning OF
the 10th, and on the following day
he sent me a tent. How glad 1 was
to get out of that beastly hole! /
spent seventeen never-to-be-forgotten
days there. On the last night eleven
Moors kept me awake until three in

room at five. l had a bad time, but
| did not let them see that l cared
a straw! Often felt like a seasick
man whose only wish is to be thrown
overheard When | quilted that
dreadful room | was as thin as a
skeleton. l could not stand upright,
and was SO weak from the confine-
ment and want of proper food that
could hardly walk. Raisuli told me
that he would treat me well. He
sent back my servants and my bed.
That night l had a good sleep be-
tween sheets-a luxury l had not en-
ioyed since July II, having slept on
the ground for Sc nights. Better still,
had no Moors in my tent to keep
me awake till / o'clock and to com
mence praying at dawn"
RAISULI ASKS FOR THE MOON.
OF course, Raisuli began by asking
for the moon. But the moon waned
steadily On October the Sultan
assented to any conditions for the
Kaid's release.
Meanwhile Raisuli visited all de
lays on his unfortunate captive Con-
finement in foul room, want of food
and a systematic course Of bullying,
which was harder to bear than pri-
vations. had failed to break the In
domitable spirit of Kaid Maclean. An
other instrument of torture was
found, and the prisoner was left to
the tender mercies of st. Mahomet
Arrar, one of Raisuli's creatures.
Sir Harry Maclean Is a great lover
of music. He plays the bagpipes, and
the story ran that he was wont to

ed as a form of torture. The guards
took their cue from Arrar and de-
termined that the dog of a Christian
should listen If he would not dance
to their tune. The two-stringed fid-
die of the country was at work night
and day, and the captive was prevent
ed from sleeping. Protest was In

murderers of sleep and of music de
manded rewards. and promised to
abate the nuisance If given the price
of sheep. They bought a goat In
stead, declaring that the m'hallas had
eaten all their sheep-mOre mischief
than most people suspected them of
doing. Being a Moor and a time
server, ST Mahomet Arrar began to
amend his ways when he saw some
prospect Of the Kaid's release.
The negotiations dragged on with
painful slowness, and it was not qn,
til November that they began to take
practical shape-thanks to the tact
and, knowledge of the native charac'
ter possessed by Mr. "Bibi" Carrie
ton, consular agent at Clcazar.
