PRICE FIVE CENTS
IN THE QUEEN'S DOMINIONSEnglish Speculators Still Crazy
Over Kaffirs
A COLLAPSE NOT IMMINENT
The Unconditional Licensing of the Em.pire Theater
Indicates That London Has Repudiated tbe
Puritan Policy?Notes of Personsand Peraons of Note
Associated Press Special Wire.LONDON, Oct. s.?The feature of the
financial world during the past week wasthe prolonging of the craze here for
Kaffirs (South African mining shares)
and the postponement of tne expected
crash in those securities, whicfh has beenpredicted for sometime past.
The main point of interest in the worldof politics was the rioting at Constanti-nople and the subsequent decline in thesympathy hitherto teit apparently badly
fur the oppressed and much massacredArmenians.
There was quite a slump followedby a rally in Kaffirs on Friday and todaythere was another ana heavier fall in
the price or South African mining stocks,
the decline in some cases amounting to£20 to £30 per share. Tho decline appears to be due to the al..rm of Frenchinvestors whose hands have been forced
by the coulissimers (small stock brokers)
who Insisted that pending settlement,clients who havo bought shares musttake them or closo their accounts. As theleaders of the market did not show anydisposition to sell ths market stiffenedand values improved.
It is recognized that many of tbe Kaffirshares aro standing too high for theirintrinsic merits, but it is not believedthat there will be a big permanent col-lapse so long aa tho big operators supporttnat market.
In tbe word jf amusement, tbe actionon Wednesday last of the licensing com-mittee of the county council in grantingan unconditional license to the Empiretheater was the most interesting featureof the week Tbere win a large crowd ofinterested spectators at tho meeting, butMrs. Ormiston Chant,who made so muchtrouble for the Empire in opposing thegranting of its license, and who was thensuccessful in hairing its privileges verymuch curtailed, failed to put in an ap-pearance, and there was practically noopposition to granting the full licenseasked for. George Edwards, manager oftho Empire,testified that tho restrictions
which the committee of the county coun-cil placed on his establishment last year
affecting chief!/ the "drinking auditor-
Mini" and the free circulation in all partsof the house of dcmimondaines, had in-volved a loss of $100,003 in the profits(luring the past year, and that the divi-dend declared this year was only 40 percent as against 70 por cent In previousyears.
The "victory" of the Empire theater,it is now claimed, shows how completelyLondon has repudiated the so-called"puritan policy" which prevailed lastyear. The Empire has not only regainedthe right to open the famous promcnndoand to sell drinks in the auditorum, butthe application for full licenses from allof the otlter London muscal hails wereagreed to witnout condition.
Several ol tbe metropolitan newapaperanaturally commented on tne fact thatMrs. Ormiston Chant bas not even foundthe cause worthy of postponing her lec-turing tour in America.
The l'all Mall Gazette, referring to thesubject, said a day or two ago:
"Now having become a person of somename, she has left her weaker sisters andyounger brothers, for whom she pleadedbo eloquently a year ago, and has gone toAmerica in order to transmit her nameinto dollars."
The Pall Mall Gazette comments arehardly fair. She was a 'person of someiiiime" long before her crusade againstthe Umpire theater, being one of the rep-resentatives of womanhood wh9 went tothe world's fair at Ohicaeo to take partin the special exercises held there bywomen and she was ore of the delesatesto the woman's parliament held al Wash-inpon in i893. This is understood to beMrs. Chant's fourth visit to America andnot her first as tho Pall Mall Gazetteseems to suppose. The Duke of Marlbor-ough** colors, olive green, with lightblue sleeves and cap, have been resister-ed under both the jockey club and nn-tinnul hunt, rules which naturally haseiven rise to the report that the dukecontemplates the establishment of a largostable and tbat Lad* Kandolp Chnrbchillbus become a racing horse owner, herpartnership in promising 2-year-oldshaving been registered. The friends ofthe late Lord Handclph Churcuill arcabout to call a meeting for the purpose olraising a subscription for a statue to hismemory in the central lobby of tne housetl commons.
Lady .lenno's article In a popular peri-sdical on cycling hss attracted consider-ible attention in view of the fact that;he writer is the wife ol the well-knownindge of probate, divorce and admiraltydivision of the high court of justice andslso because she is popular in the highestsociety and an authority on social lines-lions She says that she thinks thatoloomers have no average whatever overshort, well cut skirts, while the former,in-ber opinion, are less comfortable andess graceful to wear, which would seem10 show tlint the writer bas tried them.
Lady Jcnue further claims that womanIs not made to wear tight-fitting apparel,Hid that when she does she becomes" gly and misshapen."

man miliaryDuty
Asoclated Press Special WireBERLIN, Oct. s.?Emperor Wiliam be-
ing away from the capital, political dull-ness feigned during the past week in Ber-lin. The bundesrath, however, meetsnext week and the Agrarian depressionwill be one of tbe first subjects discussedby that body. The Agrarians hove beenvery acitve throughout the summer. Jna speech this week Count Yon Konitz,their leader, declared that his grainmonopoly bill would come before thereicbstag during the coming session. Headded tbat he expected something help-ful would be done. The Agrarians havemade alliances and havo understandingswith the whole of the right and part cfthe center party and tbey think they willhave a majority this time. The chiefsubject of speculation recently bas beenthe contents of Emperor William's letterto tho czar and as to whether it was poli-tical or not.
Count yon Moltke, the emptror's aide-de-camp who took the missive to theczar, has started on his return to Berlinwith an autographMctter from Russia'sruler.
The count was everywhere received inthe kindest manner. In an audiencewhich he had with the czar, the latterspoke in tbo most flattering terms of theemperor of Germany. According to nnaccount published today tbe emperor'sletter to the czar was nothing more thannn invitaiton for him to be present at ashooting party to bo held at Trakenenon the Russian frontier, and EmperorNicholas is said to have replied that hisdecision would depend upon the healthof tho empress, who is on tho eve of heraccouchment. In any case, it is added,the meeting would be entirely private.
The Cologne espionage affair la devel-oping widely, important informationhaving been obtained since tbe arrest oftlio men presumed to be French oflicersor agents of France. Major yon Kaelkkaof tbe ministry, and Captain yon Theu-menalott of tbo general staff, have ar-rived at Cologne to investigate the mat-ter. A number of further arrests havebeen ninde, and, in addition, a womannamed Kichtcr has been arrested atMagdeburg on one charge of having actedas the paid medium of communicationbetween a I'iercli army officer and anemployee of the Gruzon Steel works, whofurnished tlio French officer through herdrawing mudels ol iron clad vessels, gunsand carriages, etc., to be used in theseforts and Invalualbe plans of the Germandefenses. The arrest of the couple is saidto have been brought about through thefact that the woman nnd the employee ofthe Gruzon works have Deen noticedspending quite a largo amount of Frenchgold. This aroused suspicions and theirarrest followed. The preliminary Inquiryinto the case is now said to be nearlycompleted, and the whole matter willsoon be submitted to the central mili-tary authorities in Berlin.
Somo new arrests have nisi been mnnoin Berlin, including that of lime, Snwar-ine, the widow of v major in the Russianarmy. The ovidence thus far obtainedseems to show beyond any doubt that themodels and parts of guns nnd rifles of theKrupp works at Essen, as well as fromthe Gruzon works at Magdeburg, besidesdrawings of different frontier cities, havepassed through the hands of tho accusedto France during tho past year. Tho casewill be tried in the imperial courts atLeipsio within n week.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Oct. s.?The or-der of Judge Laconibo In tbe UnitedStates court at New York restraining theformer receivers of the Northern Pacilicfrom turning over to their successors anyof the moneys or properties of the com-pany within his jurisdiction is not apt tobe fullyappreciated, nut it is a most im-portant one, not only from tho fact thatthere is considerable money deposited inNew York, but because the booKs of thecompany aro in that city, and if tlie ro-ceivcrs, especially Receiver lligelow, whohas cLaree of tbe finances, arc* not tohavo access to them there will bo almostinsurmountable obstacles to overcome.Thero aro two obligations which must bemet on November 1. One is tho intereston the mortgage bonds of the Missouridivision of the road. This division lieswholly within Judge Caldwell's jurisdic-tion, and the amount due is over $75,000,while tho sinking fund charges to bepaid on tne same, amount to somethingover $17,000; but these amounts are insig-nificant in comparison with the; otherobligations. Interest to the amount ofmore than $3,000,000 is due on the collat-eral trust notes and it is imperative thattil is obligation be met promptly.
Tho collateral trust fund is one of themost important the receivers are chargedwith looking after, and default in theinterest will be almost fatul to the inter-est of tbe bondholders.
