WAIT FOR RATE QUESTION

NEW YORK, November 2a.-That
business conditions are being mani
puiated with an eye entirely on the
effect they viii have in manufacturing
sentiment in favor of railway rate i'm
creaSes was tn. view taken by bust
ness men generally who are not "Waii
street insiders to-day. They laugh
at the pessimism being scattered
aoroad by all connected with the stock
market in any capacity. and smiingiy
insist that the country Is all right.
The street. however. believes that
the statement attributed II James J..
Hill that business conditions are far
from satisfactory is true. outside
business men ask why this is So. They
say that economic conditions We're
never better aud that money rates
We're never more liberal than at pres
ent when. under ordinary cGcuIn
movements in progress, money should
he tight.
Proceed Cautiously.
According to the New York News
Bureau, organ Of the street. the reason
for the unrest being voiced by the big
financiers. is because the big railroads
and tinanciers have decided To proceed
cautiously until the rate question and
perhaps one or two other important
matters are settled.
The executive committee OF the rail-
way business association in its re-
port recently stated that unless the
rate increases are granted. orders for
new equipment will he cancelled and
their plants forced to shut down. For
that reason they appealed to the pub
lie TO agitate In favor of rate raising.
Attorneys for the shippers who arc
protesting the rates. however say this
is All untenahle position. They say
that IL the commission rules against
the railroads. the latter will save
money now being spent but will also
have to go out for new business which
viii necessitate increased equipment.
Iron and Steel Unsatisfactory.
The rumors that all Is not salts

inside to be due to the fact that the
|, Independents are underselling the big
combine. The steel corporation con-
tinues to operate it's mills at an over
capacity Of forty per cent based on
normal consumption. but the indie
pendents are shading prices and get

business they can do and the demand
for steel. II Is claimed. continues to
exceed the supply.
The big street leaders insisted to-

FASHIONS

A novelty in neck fixing is a
long tie of velvet ribbon, half an
inch wide. 1t is passed around the
neck and tied low down on the
waist-not at the neck. A bunch
of ribbon loops and ends hang
from the joining.
Veilings that meet with the
most favor are the finer meshes in
filets, hexagon and fancy meshes,
and the cobweb effect.
Ribbon flowers of white silk
flatly applied to the hat of black
beaver are most effective.
The craze for Indian beadwork
is still on.
Zibelines are having a modish
renewal for gowns and coats.
Coats close above the line of the
bust rather than below 1t, as last
year.
New corsets are quite low in
the bust and hove more fullness
above the waist.
Barbaric effects in beadwork
trimming are much seen on chif-
fon overblouses.
Wide velvet hair-ribbons are in
vogue for children. Tartan plaids
are also popular.
Muffs of fus-trimmed material
matching ones costume are ex-
trenfely smart.
The stock and tie have come
back into fashion, affording relief
from the monotony of the stiff
collar.
Ostrich feathers were never in
such vogue. as they are this season.

The next time your parrot
shrieks ''Polly want a cracker!"
don't for a moment imagine that
polly knows what it says. Some
children think that these really
wonderful birds understand what
they are talking about, but they
do not. They learn to initiate
words, but don't know what they
mean.
1t has often been said that par
rots more readily learn swear
words than any other kind, but
THAT isn't so. They will swear if
you teach them how and they will
use other words If you take the
trouble TO teach them that kind,
but some folks think it cute to
hear polly swear and so that is
often the first thing taught.
If anyone ever tells you that it
is necessary to slit his tongue to
make a parrot talk, tell that per-
son that he does not know what
he is talking about. The custom
is cruel and unnecessary and
ought to be stopped by humane
societies. Parrots mot only imi-
tate human speech and learn to
talk words and phrases with won
derful distinetness, but they also
initiate other sounds. A parrot
In a sawmill will initiate the saw
and log. A parrot which lived
for years ON the lake front and
most of the time ON porch, fin
ally began to initiate the dashing
OF the breakers against the, beach

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 80.
-Dashing young equestriennes
who think they cut figure in the
saddle are mere nursery riders on
hobby horses compared with Miss
Emily House, a school teacher of
Burnt Ranch, Trinity Co, Cal, who
rides over the toughest mountain
passes with the ease of a cowboy.
Miss House is 70 years old. She
gained attention last month when
she rode a wild-eyed horse 60
miles from her little mountain
school to Weaverville where she
attended a county school teachers

mountain trails, she passed on the
edge of dizzy preciplces, through
lonely forests and forded rushing
mountain torrents.
, To stay on the back OF skit-
fish horse under the conditions
Miss House encountered is a severe
physical ordeal that the hardest
man would not enpoy.
City teachers would be more IA
tigued at riding half g. mile in n
street car than this tutor was after
the mountain journey that in some
places took her over grades 10, 900
feet above sea level.

POPULATION 91,5OO,0OO
Census Bureau to Announce Ap-
prOXimate Figures TODAY.

Washington. Dec 9.-When announced
by the Census Bureau at noon to-mor-
row the total population Of the United
States, excluding all insular possessions
will be shown 10 approximate 81. 500. 600
This computation covers all the states
except Georgia, Montana Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming the figures on
most Of which Director Durand has de-
cided to withhold until the total returns
for the country at large are announced.
The states so far given have an aggre-
gate population OF 85,362.725. This is
an increase Of 20.4 per cent over the
aggregate population of the same states
il 1890
The five states not included in the
computation had an aggregate popula-
ton Of 5.I39.336 in 1900. If they main
tain the growth Of the other states. their
aggregate will be brought up to 6.1Se774
giving a grand total for the United
States Of e1.54a503. Even If there
should be no gain at all the total would
BE- 90 o502 0s1-
There is no doubt that the total will
exceed 100000. The computation is
confined TO the United States proper,
and excludes all possessions.
The exclusive statement in The Tribune $
Washington dispatches of November 26 that
the population Of the United States had
passed the 200 mark seems to be con-
frmed by the foregoing figures That esti-
mate included the population Of the Phil
ippines. Porto Rico and all other posses
sions, while the Census Bureaus figures are
