PACIFIC! SCARE HARD TO GET OVER

LONDON, Junn 2. All Indications point
to a rational resumption of business on
tho London Stock exchange In the near
future. There Ik no reason why this should
hnva been delayed as lone a It had, ex
cept that London recover! slowly, and there
foro tho effect of the recent panic has
been n week during which transactions
have been dlcldedly dull.
New York has continued tending higher
prlcos nnd thoso were marked up here
In a perfunctory fashion, but actual busl
ncss has been small. Leading critics now
point out that tho material prospects of
tho United Slates which caused the re
cent ndvance In stocks arc as good as
ever and that tho "community of Interest"
campaign, which Is essential to the de
velopment of the American railway sys
tem Is certain to causo higher prices.
London's Northern Pacific settlement Is
now practically complcto and money Is
easy. Homo rails aro dull nnd American
rccurltles offer tho most attractive field
for operation. The dcpretslon In homo raits
Is due to unfavorable traffic reports, the
recent holiday period not bringing the
traffic Improvement expected. Tbero Is
considerable foreboding as to home rail
dividends at the end of the year.
The decided caso In money was due to
lmmenso government disbursements and
thero aro confident predictions of an early
reduction In tho bank rate. Tho govern
ment, however, owing to tho large amounts
of foreign monoy which might be with
drawn If money Is orcrsharpened, Is cau
tious. It Is expected that somo largo holders of
consols have beun unloading, flccent news
from South Africa and the slow, smoulder
ing war embers apparent In that country,
check any material advanco In these se
curities. Rand mines, on the contrary, havo ad
vanced nnd Argentines aro looking up on
tho prospective unification of the national
debt. Tho mcssngo of President Iloca of
tho Argentine Republic has been very
favorably received.
It Is reported that Pcrlln Is Investing In
Chinese bonds, owing to tho clearing of
the political atmosphere In the Orient.

Wll Street Look for a Itrtnrn thin
Week of Recent Specula
tive Activity.
NEW YORK, Juno 2. Honry Clews, head
of the banking houso of Henry Clows &
Co., says In his weekly financial revlow:
We have hud another week of reactionary
movement on the Stock exchange; no more
so, however, than might bo expected from
tho extraordinary activity that preceded
It. At one stage, of tho boom the weekly
transactions ranged nt fully 16.00O.U0O shares
per week, representing n money valuation
of about fl.MO.OW.OOO. For the last week
tho salea have aggregated nt the rute of
nhout .1, 50,000 sharcB for an unbroken wcelt.
This shows a decline of 75 per cent In the
ynlume of shares exchanged, comparing
the present with tho recent maximum of
transactions.
Tho current weekly sales of 3.75O.O0O
Hhnres are, however, largely above the
average of recent years, tho range for 19uo
having h(.cn 2iCfioi0oo shares per week; 1V.
3,3,000 shares, and for 1K3X, 2.180.000 shares,
which shows that tho current weekly busi
ness Is 1,043,000 shares (or nearly 40 per
cent) greater than the nverage weekly sales
for the yearn 1900. 1899 and 1S9S. It Is thus
evident that, great ns has been tho reaction
of tho Inst three weeks, yet It Is far from
huvlng exhausted the vitality nnd specula
tive resource of tho market.
Tho staying qualities of the situation are
F!rWiP.Kly' Pvl1nt from tho comparative
stability of prices. There Is still some
realizing pn speculative accounts nnd not
11 .;''.w conservative operators prefer to
satisfy themselves as to the renl strength
of tho morket by postponing buying for a
time, but selling rcndlly brings out buying
with a promptness which hhnws thnt tho
under element of confidence Is very strong.

Such nn nrrny of facts has no parallel In

that tho unequalled rise has come and hns

confidence is the controlling factor, but no
extravagant bull movement Is likely to be
uniUrtnkcn at present, because tho trained

nnd feel sntlsflcd that. In tho Mil, there
will be a great revival of the speculative

Favorable factors In the situation: 1. The

FAILS TO AFFECT BOURSE
(irrninn Klnnnclers Dlsniiuolntcil In
Result of Announcement of With
drawal from China.
RHRHN, June 2. It Is a significant fact
that tho announcement of the withdrawal
of the allied troops from China, which
tho bourse had long expected would glvo
nn Impetus to business, was almost wholly
without Influence on trading bust woolc.
Its only effect was to Increase dealings in
Chinese loans at rising ciuotutloiiH.
In alt departments the bourse had a
very bad week, with lower quotations
everywhere. The causes were the unsatis
factory reports from tho Iron centers and
the general Industrial situation. In ad
dition to these factors, tho small offer
mudo by tho Swiss government for tho
stock of the Swiss Northeastern railway
Fircparatory to the nationalization of tho
Ine, against which tho forolgn stockhold
ers are vigorously protesting, had a de
pressing effect.
The weakest spot in tho market was tho
Iron section, due chiefly to the fact that
the quarterly report of the Luura works
showed 136,000 marks less earnings than re
ported for the corresponding period of Inst
year. Tho discouraging comments of tho
directors Increased the weakness of this
department. All Iron shares fell off, the
declines In somo Instances reaching seven
points.
The pig Iron syndicate is trying to stave
off price declines and Is offering to make
a year's extension of delivery on old con
tracts, provided customers pledge them
selves not to buy foreign Iron. Neverthe
less. KiiKllsh Dig Is selling In Gcrmnnv at
30 murks below the syndicate prices, caus
ing an expectation inai mo synnicaie win
make largo reductions. Tho general Indus
trial situation is regarded ns less favorable
The greatest optimists must now admit,
says tho Vosslacho Kcltung today, that our
business has entered upon an actual crisis.
Tho mortgage bank scandal continues to
causo a depressing influence, shares of tho
Mccktenburg-Strelltz and Pomeranian banks
nave neen mo subjoct or lively specula
tion and fluctuated violently. Flrst-cl.iss
banks continue to buy thu obligations of
tho Pomcranlnn bank, but tho market lor
other mortgage bank obligations is dull.
Speaking generally, bank stock Is declin
ing. Government loans are stagnant.
Italians, howovcr, were firmer throughout
tho week, but Spaniards weaker.
Canadian Pacifies developed strength
upon the Increased earnings, but Northern
Pacifies were neglected. The Prussian gov
ernment has ordered 305 locomotives at an
aggregate cost of 17,500,000 marks.

DKADWOOD, S. D., June 2. (Special.)
Tho .Maloncy Illuo Lead Copper company is
surveying a site for a fifty-ton smelter, to
be erected nt Sheridan, seven miles cnit
of Hill City, In Pennington couuty. The
Blue Lead coppur mine Is one of tho oldest
copper propositions In the Black Hills, hav
ing been open for nearly a quarter of n
century. The outcropping of copper ore
on the surface of tho ledge Is enormous and
the rock carries an average of 7 per cent
copper. The company has stripped tho ledge
for n long distance and shafts havo been
sunk nt Intervnln, which hnvo demonstrated
that the ore Is good to a depth of fifty to
seventy-five feet. At those depths an ash
bed occurs which Is barren of copper valuo.
The theory Is that tho copper has simply
leached out. A tunnel Is being run at thd
present tlmo near tho water level In tho
expectation of striking tho main ledge of
copper ore beneath tho ash deposit. Thcro
yet remains but n short distance till the
tunnel Is completed.
Thcro aro thousands of tons of good cop
per ore blocked out abovo tho ash bed and
tho smelter will be erected whether tho
ledgo Is encountered below or not. Tho
ledgo will avcrago twenty feet In width
where It has been openod by the shafts.
R. M. Maloncy of this city orgnnlzed tho
company. Tho rock through which tho
tunnol has been excavnted has been so
hard that only a foot a day has been bored
with double shifts, using nlr drills. This
tunnol 111 bo about 1,500 feet long when
completed, nnd should tho ledgo of ore bo
encountered again ono of tho greatest cop
per mines that tho world has ever known
will be tho result. Tho property has been
examined by n great many of tho btBt
copper experts of tho country nnd their
reports havo Invariably been In favor of
tho proposition.

Similar conditions on tho surface aro
found In the copper district west of Uoch
ford flvo miles, whero several Michigan
companies nio operating extensively. Tho
Black Hills Copper company of Benton
Harbor, Mich., has mado a mlno of copper
nnd gold oro within tho Inst few months.
An Incline shaft has been put down on a
lodge of oro 50u feet and values sufficiently
largo to pay havo bocn found. The shaft
will now bo sunk to tho 1,000-foot level.
It Is stated that tho company Is already
planning to put In a smelter this season.

This city will receive nn Increnso In busi

Into the Onlenn, Strawborry and Two Bit
districts. Tho decision of the National
Mining company to erect a smelter this
season started both of tho railway com
panies that enter the Hills to building narrow-gauge
roads Into thoso districts cast
of this city. It Is ostlmatod that when nil
of tho old mines nre started up In these
camps that 400 to COO tons of oro will bo
mined nnd shipped dally. Deadwood will
bo the natural supply point for the dis
tricts. About 100 tons of oro will be mined
daily from tho Bullion mino, which Is now
owned by tho National company. The Oro
Fine mlno will llkoly bo started up again,
ns well ns tho Dakota Maid and Gilt Edgo
mines. The Hardin companies will take
advantage of railroad facilities and r.hlp
ments will be mndo again to tho Deadwood
smelter. Tho probability Is that the Hnrdlns
will erect a large smelter of their own
this summer on Redwnter.

Tho company has acquired six mining

clared before a largo audlcnco In Philadel
phia the other evening that "if there Is nny
ono fcaturo of tho drinking custom which at
this tlmo is occaston for alarm It Is the ap

"I was told a few days slnco by a pupil
of ono of our most fashionable' young ladles'
seminaries," continued Mr. Bally, "that
their principal, In counseling them to avoid
extremes, declared that It was Just as vul
gar to be a total abstainer as It was to
drink to excess; that ono was Indication of
a weak character Just as much as the other.
What must bo expected as the results of
such tuition, when these young girls enter
society and become members of the fash

"Intemperance among fashionable women,
as I havo learned from some of their own

In Now York a nodal leader, who refused
to allow her name to be used because of her
family connections nnd her personal rela
tions to the M00,' says that the drlnktm;
evil among women of the highest circles ha
reached an alarming state.
"It is nothing unusual, she declared, to
sco In leading hotels and cafes beautiful and
handsomely dressed women of Fifth avenue
absolutely pouring down cocktails nnd other
mixed drinks. Nor Is New York the only
American city whero such conditions exist.
Workers of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union of Chicago report finding
hundreds of women drinking In the saloons
at all hours of the night.
"The lncrcasod uso of liquor among
women Is a sad but generally admitted fact
In Great Britain. Dr. Haywood Smith, a
noted English specialist, furnishes facts nnd
figures to prove that British women are
drifting toward Inebriety, Ho asserts that
tho vtco Is Increasing with greater rapidity
among the rich and well-to-do women than
among thoso of the lower strata of society.
Ho adds; 'In this so-called upper class
drunkenness Is epidemic.'
"I have long believed, and each year
strengthens my conviction, that tho drinking
customs of society stand moro than nny
othor Impediment In the way of all moral,
social, Industrial and religious progress."

Clever lltise Exposed n Womnii's Pre
tciulinir ItllmliicHx.
A leading oculist of Montreal, whoso
practice extends far outsldo tho boundaries
of tho city, relates that one day a young
woman came Into his office accompanied by
an older woman, apparently the mother
The young woman wore colored glasses,
which one might have assumed to be super
fluous, as It was claimed that the girl was
totally blind. What was wanted of tho
doctor was n certificate authenticating this
claim of blindness, putting it boyond dis
pute, and it was frankly stated that the
object in seeking this was to obtain cer
tain aids and advantages of a philanthropic
nature, Impossible of access otherwise. Tho
standing of tho oculist was such that a
statement from him would carry full weight
wherever presented.
On examination the surface of the eyes
gave no Indication nf nny defect, but that
might bo so nnd blindness still exist. Ap
plying tests of tho strongest light, the girl
professed herself to be absolutely unable
to distinguish between light and darkness.
Other tests were resorted to, trying In their
nature, and Borne of them very painful, nnd
theso wore all borne with pattence nnd
courage. Tho doctor was puzzled nnd
baffled. Apparently tho girl wns Btono
blind, but ho was unablo to solve tho
problem of those eyes, to discover the causo
of that blindness or say Just where tho
defect lay.
Tho doctor was more than half disposed
to grant the desired certificate, whon, as a
last expedient, he hit upon a novel experi
ment. Ho dismissed his patient with In
structions that she should como again u
a certain hour tho fallowing day and this
gnvo tho oculist tlmo to arrange for the
carrying out of his plan. When tho girl
came the next day the doctor had her
securely blindfolded with a heavy bnndago
over her eyes. He then took a tiny mouse
which he had procured and held the lively
little thing by Its tall before tho girl's fnco,
though not touching her, whllo he ordered
tho bandagn to be removed, No soonor
was tho bandage off than her screams rang
through tho place and her oyes were wide
with terror nt tho harmless llttlo rodent
which had thrown her so completely off
her guard and exposed the Imposture, Of
course she saw It or she would not have
screamed. Needless to say the applicant
did not get that certificate.

Is authority for tho statement that secret
negotiations aro being carried on looking to
n reconciliation between General William
Booth and his sot., Balllngton. Father and
sou havo been estranged for live yenrs, the
sou having In tho mcantlmo organized tho

tho refusal of Balllngton Booth to submit
to tho order of transfer from tho United

effected It will menn Balllngton's return to
