Gossip of the
Stock Market.

New York, Aug 26-The state of Har-
rimans health continued to be the princl-
pal topic of interest to Wall Street to-
day There was little or no definite news
to be had and in it's absence pessimstlc
rumors of varied character sent the Har-
riman and allied stocks spinning down
ward. The slaughter of prices was at
tended by the usual list of dead and
! wounded" on the speculative field. Al
| the close of the days business, which
| aggregated more than 1.20,OU shares,
many "pyramided' accounts had evapor-
ated into thin air. and the clerical forces
, of most brokerage houses were kept
working long into the night issuing calls
| for additional margins.
Since early in July it has been a Harri
man. or lone man. market. although his
| frierds and associates have frequently
declared that the recent rise in Union
and Southern Pacific was without his con-
sent or connivance. Today's doeful gos-
sip, therefore, quickly acquired d
strength sufficient to give the entire mar
ket convulsive downward movement.
The days losses in the general list
ranged from q points in Union Pacific
to four points in the preferred, 81 in
Southern Pacific. 4. in Reading, g in
! New York Central and % in United States
Steel.
| In the less active issues declines of to
4 points were recorded by Amalgamated
/ Copper. American Cotton Oil. American
| Locomotive. American Smelling. Atchi-
son. Chicago & Northwestern, st. Paul.
/ General Electric. Great Northern Ore
ceI tificates, Illinois Central. Lake Erie &
Western, National Lead. Northern Pa
cific, Peoples Gas, Rock Island common
and preferred. United States Rubber and
Wisconsin Central.
AS a matter of fact it becomes evident
that the market has been without sub
stantial support since Monday of last
week. On that day. Notwithstanding
est price in it's history-and other Harri-
man issues also were strong, the list be-
gan to sag. and with scarcely any inter-
rEption went lower and lower with the
result that todays final price obliterated
many of the gains of the past two
mcrths. Conservative Wall Street had
sounded a note of warning over fort
night back.
To the 100000 shares today of today S
business. Union Pacific alone contributed
about one fourth. Sales of United States
Steel aggregated more than 100000, South
ern Pacific over $4,000, and Reading more
than $4,000.

LAUDs JAP RULE IN KOREA
Former Vice President Fairbanks Says
There Has Been Improve
ment.

Tokio.-Before leaving Seoul for the
northern part of Korea Saturday, for
mer Vice President Fairbanks prepared
the following statement, giving his i'm
pressions of the japanese rule in Korea
1.-The political, social and industrial
condition of Korea is steadily improv-
ing and this Improvement came with
the establishment of the protectorate.
Much OF this progress was made under
the far-sighted craftsmanship of Prince
Ito. The regeneration of this country
has been well started, and l find every-
where evidence of the high purpose of
Japan toward Korea and the Koreans.
Foremost among these was the es-
Enlistment of judicial system, next
the introduction of good schools. 1 find
that the Japanese are establishing ex-
cellent public medical, legal and agri-
cultural colleges, and this means ev-
erything to the people of Korea. For,
elgn missionaries are now WORKING in
full cooperation and with the utmost
confidence in the japanese protecto.
rate.
"The influence of the missionaries
upon the natives is excellent. The in.
Surrectlon has completely subsidized
and good order has generally been es.
tabllshed in the country. The Japanese
are devoting their energies to the de.
Velopment of natural resources of
Korea and was glad to find that rs
per cent of the mineral products are
controlled by Americans. Japan has a
delicate task and one that will doubt.
less tax her craftsmanship, but I have
every reason to hope for the full sue,
cess OF her present policy"

conducted for several weeks in the
basement of south side apartment
building by three sisters.
The police were reused to action by
the complaints of persons living near
the mission. The police informed the
sisters after their raid that under the
building laws the basement could not
be used as school and limited that it
might be well to close it up entirely.
The teachers refused to do this and
moved the school upstairs into some
private rooms.
When the police entered the Chinese
broke for the doors and windows. ONLY
six returned for the adjourned session
