MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.

Just a little quleter, a gradually de-
creasing business, with no particular
change in the prices OF stocks. is all there
is to say about the local mining share
market Nobody cares to buy stocks and
nobody cares to cut the prices in order
to do business. The short interest is in
significant and there is nothing doing
that is likely to create a sudden change
in the prevailing conditions. If you want
to wait for returns, buy stocks. You
may be able to get some of them lower.
but that is doubtful. The best stocks are
intrinscally worth double what they are
quoted at now and they will bring the
price sooner or later.

STOCK MARKET STRONGER.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market moved out Of sluggish irregu-
larity early in the week into growing
strength. The Eric settlement help
cd the market although the tnexpect-
ed manner OF the settlement gave rise
TO much puzzled conjecture over the
infercnccs to be drawn from the ap-
parent conflict OF position between
the Morgan and Hartman groups
over the policy to be adopted in Erie
affairs. The favorable crop report on
winter wheat by the government was
a substantial factor in the increase Of
confidence. Iron and steel trade ad-
vices as are unfavorablc and the price
of copper declined. Railroad traffic
showed no appreciable expansion. Re-
turns OF earnings showed continued
heavy shrinkage Money was easy
and some Improvement in the invest
mcnt position was perceptiable.

Hobson Pleads for Four Battle
ships Instead Of Two.
REGARDS WAR AS INEVITABLE
He Pointed Out That From Now on
the United States Should Have a
Fixed Policy With Regard to Its
Naval Construction.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
debate on the naval appropriation bill
in the house today resolved itself in
the main into discussion of the pos
sibilites OF war between the United
States and Japan. In line with his
well known views on this subject,
Hobson pleaded for four battleships
instead OF two for the next fiscal
year and pointed out that from now
on the United States should have a
fixed policy with regard to naval
construction War with the yellow
and white races he regarded as newt.
able and he asserted that Japan's
present military activity is with a
view to the supremacy of the Pacific
and the natural cure would be clash
at arms with the United States,
On the other hand, Burton of Ohio
and Kitchin of North Carolina dis
puted that contention, each of them
avowing that the clash not only would
not come, but that the United States
should remain in the forefront OF
modern civilization as an exponent
of peace, Others who spoke were
Congressman Lilley who criticised
the navy department for maintaining
several useless navy yards: Gill, OF
Maryland who denounced the presi-
dent for his treatment of Rear Ad-
miral Brownson; Dawson of Iowa,
who advocated the consolidation OF
several bureaus of the navy depart
ment: Loud Of Michigan who fav-

PORTLAND, April ll.-Francis J..
Heney, who came from San Francis
oc for the purpose, delivered "Good
government" address before an aud
fence established at 10000 people in
night He paid further attention to
u. S. Senator Charles w. Fulton,
and reiterated many of his charges
against that legislator and adding
Others. He eulogized president
Roosevelt and U. S. Senator La Fol
lette: He warned his hearers against
the greed OF corporations and the
great concentration of wealth, and
gave the government land swindlers
and several local politicians a severe
dressing down. He was unhesitating
in urging his hearers to guard their
law providing for the nomination OF
U. S, Senators by direct vote of the
pcopel, saying that without their ef-
fort the people of this state had Sc

tanned in California after ten years OF
effort.
Heney while he did not devote as
much time as was expected to Fulton,
yet took time to read from bulky
envelope, letters and documents bear

Oregon legislature of 1897 and dis
cussed the alleged methods used in

SEATTLE, April ll.-Deputy
Sheriff Starwick and X. c. Storey, the
justice OF the peace of Ravensadale

the slayers of Marshal Miller Of Kent,

this afternoon after a pitched battle
in which Judge Storey was wounded.
The fight occurred near camp Eve
OF the Milwaukee construction gang,
seven miles above North Bend. The
ma nwho was captured was shot in
the knee by, Starwick and one of the
other highwaymen was shot in the
right side. The man who was ar
rested is believed to be the leader of
the gang, That he is one Of the high
waymen tist the officers have been
for two days is almost cert
ain from the fact that he had recent
ly been shot through the tip of his
nose. Storey was not seriously
wounded, the bullet passing through
the eAshy part of his right leg. Star
wick and Storey took the trail of three
men answering the description Of
three of the five desperados who shot
Miller and followed them along the
pipe line of the Seattle Water Sys-
tenn up Cedar river, overtaking them
at two o'clock this afternoon. Three
of the men were seated at camp
fire when the officers appeared. Star
wick at once commanded them to
throw up their hands and surrender.
One of the men gave an order in
Austrian to the others to open FIRE
and at the same time reaching for
his gun. Starwick UNDERSTOOD the
order and fred at the leader, blow
ing off his knee cap. The Other two
men ran and securing shelter behind

GERS. Storey was shot with the first
volley but continued to fight. Star

they were running for shelter and

COLMA, Cal, April ll.-Packy
Mcfarland, the Chicago light weight
made short work OF Jimmy Britt this
afternoon in scheduled 20 round
contest Britt was sent 10 the floor
three times in the sixth and last round
by powerful right wallop on the
point OF his jaw He took the count
OF nine twice and after the time-kecp-
er had counted five, Britt's father
jumped into the ring and waved Nc
Farland away. 1t was practically a
clear knockout. Mcfarland out
classed Britt from the start to the
finish II was easily seen early in
the contest that Britt, who faced Nc
Farland this afternoon, was not the
Britt Of old and that he had deter
ioated greatly in every respect. He
did not seem able to gauge his blows;
he fought very wild at times and dis
played much weakness in his clinches
and close range fighting. Mcfarland
on the other hand had remarkable
speed, his judgment OF distance seem
ed infallible and he displayed great
punching power. Mcfarland showed
also that he was wonderful two
hand fighter He started for his man
from the very outset and when the
first round terminated, Britt went to
his corner with an anxious look on
his face. In the second round he
seemed to realize that he had met his
master. Mcfarland outboxed, out
punched and outgeneraled him com
pletely and Britt began to break
ground and at times stalled for pro
lection Mcfarland gave Britt no
chance to rest in the third, fourth and
fifth rounds He hammered him mer-
cilessly, his principal blows being
rights to the jaw. Toward the close
of the fifth round, right smash to
the Jaw sent Britt to the mat and only
the timely clang of the gong saved
him from being counted out His re-
spite was only temporary. McFar-
land went for him again in the sixth
and it was only a question of time be-
fore the Californian must succumb.
Finally Mcfarland unlocked wick
ed right that caught James on the
point of the chin, and the poor fellow
dropped like log.
| AT the count of nine he struggled
| to his feet and tried to make a game
stand. Mcfarland was right after him
and another right to the same tender
spot sent Jimmy down again for the
count His eyes became glazed and
he seemed totally unconscious of his
surroundings, He rolled on his back
and made fruitless effort to regain
his feet and it was then that the elder
Britt stepped into the ring and ac-
lknowledged the defeat of his son.
Britt gave remarkable exhibition
of gameness throughout the contest.
Both winner and looser were cheered
as they left the ring. After the fight
Britt stammered out the following
