Wfrtl Street Ofoing Grazy Again as
tfcelublic Goin^
fW"Bptcttl to The Journal.
Sgh New York, Jan. 20.-Never in the
history of Wall street has there been
faf such a market. Almost every .day some
stock breaks previous records. The
"JSj. quotations are beyond the understanding
of the old-lto conservative traders and
i\ Investors, who stand in their offices
and watch the market running away
^".t* from them because they have not the
nerve to advise their customers to buy
the stocks at the highest figures they
have ever reached. This is the marvel
of th 1906 market,sthat at the highest
1
1 pricee there is still much enthusiasm
In so many quarters.
Two years ago Soo Line stock' was
for sale near $40 per share. Today it
is around 160or four times its orig
inal price. Less than two years ago
Anaconda sold below par. -Becently it
reacted from near 300 to 260 and looked
cheap. Canadian Pacific is up over $60
per share60 per cent of its entire par
value, since two years ago. Bulls are
to be found "in nearly every stock ex
cept the Book Island shares. There
are men in the street "who say that the
Union Pacific stock will cross the 200
mark before July. As to Great North
ern and/Northern Pacific, there is no
limit to the prophesies.
Many Wild Rumors.
Bumor says that the Great Northern
toc will sell over 500 before very
that the papers are actually
signed which will lease the ore lands
to United States Steel on a royalty
basis to yield the stockholders of the
Great Northern over 10 per cent per
annum. It does not pay to contradict
nch rnmors, for as soon as one is
sailed down another comes up to take
its place. The street is flooded with
euoh storiee. The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas is sold to the Burlington every
V* day. Things have progressed -SQ far in
the direction of selling the Kansas Oity
Southern to the St. Paul that even the
very day of the sale is confidently pre
dicted, and is only postponed when the
day named passes without the deal. The
Colorado & Southern has been put back
in the dividend list seven distinct times
in the past monthand each time it
Jias been postponed'' for a few days.'
Five Roads Gain $266,000,000.
Recently the Wall Street Journal
printed a statement showing that the
stocks of the Great Northern? Canadian
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific
and Soo Line had appreciated in mar
ket price in twelve months over $266,-
000,000. The street took it in one
mouthful, swallowed it without a gasp,
and was not a bit surprised. Six months
ago it would have staggered the street,
and sent the brokers home thinking
deeply over the question of how long
it could possibly last. Now, the onlv
question seems to be how long it will
take to add another $800,000,000 to
their value.
The northwest fails to amaze the
people of Wall street. When the bank
Clearings of Minneapolis, Spokane, Seat
tle, Portland and Denver were spread
out in Wall street at the first of the
year, they occasioned comment, by rea
son of the fact that they had grown out
of all proportion. Next day they were
forgotten.
Muting Sharks Elated,
The new street offices, where they
lieal in all things from ice cream com-.,
panics to Standard Oil, are full of min^
ing sharks. The pockets-of the sharks
are full of money. TJiey followed the
boom in Amalgamated a few years ago,
were properly cleaned out at the game
"they didn't know, and now have come
back to be in the game again. This
time they are backing Anaconda and
Amalgamated for all they own and a
lot more. Every one of them claims
to be a syndicate, representing a few
of "the boys."

have dealt with Rogers and Lawson
and their kind for years on the board,

City bank requested the controller to
confer with him about the matter be
fore taking official action toward forc
ing the bank to pay the $70^000 a"y*ar
tax to the city which it evades thru a
technicality.
This will be followed by a' confer

he is hopeful that a belated victory will
be won for public opinion and that the
bank will be forced to surrender in its
technical fight to escape taxation on
the $4,500,000 custom house property.
The National City bank is the clear

pository of city moneys to the extent
of $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 yearly. It
was suggested to Mayor MeClellan that

controller and city chamberlain meet
and notify the bank officials that*un
less the bank gives some evidence of
a desire to treat the tax-eomnyssipW?s
fairly and not evade reasonable taxa

feel itself compelled to deal thru some

Special to The Journal. UttM^WX^
Seattle, Jan. 20.Because the lives
of Americans are in danger in Caivton
and thruout southern China, the trans
port Dix, which arrived at the Puaet
sound Wavy yard from Manila to under
go repairs, was ordered by the war de
partment yesterday to be loaded as

The vessel will be taken out of the

light artillery.
Chinese Feeling Bitter.
Professor J. W. Rathbun, who re
turned on Tuesday from the institute
at Amoy, where he was professor of
mathematics, declares that Americans
are in* danger of being murdered in
Canton and southern China. Most of
the emigrants come from these sec
tions, and the feeling against Ameri
cans because of the exclusion laws is
especially bitter.
Americans are barricaded in houses
in Shanghai, fearing murderous at
tacks. In Canton and southern China
the boycott feeling is active. The
Chinese declare all Americans should
be driven from the oountry. Agents
of the Standard Oil company have gon*e
into the interior in fear of being
slaughtered.
Professor Rathbun declares that un
less something is promptly done to alle
viate the feeling, no American will be
safe in the southern part of China.

In the near future Mr. Castro will

Secretary Eoot is now preparing a
strong case reciting the outrages per

ment, and the whole subiect will be
submitted to congress with strong rec

France Hesitates.
Paris, Jan. 20.The apparent hesi
tation Prance's decision relative to
Venezuela appears to be prompted by
the desire not to begin active measures
without first taking the advice of the
authorities at Washington. For this
purpose Ambassador Jusserand has been
fully instructed regarding his govern
ment 's point of view, which he is laying
before the American government.
The officials here agree that Prance's
action is somewhat hampered owing to
Venezuela's peculiar situation/the for
eign claims upon the customs being re
garded as placing a blockade almost
out of the question. It is feared that
if France stopped commerce with the
exterior, President Castro would imme
diately seize this as a pretext for re
fusing to comply with Venezuela's ob
ligations towards ^other nations. It is
admitted that preparations are going
on for reinforcing the French squadron,
but the obiect of this step is still un
defined. This mueh is regarded as cer

screen of amiability |hat envelops the

The French delegates^ in all their

learn precisely what is the position of
Germany, nor apparently have the Ger

tain the jjoint intentions of France and
Great Britain. Extreme caution and
lack of confidence have begun to de
stroy the favorable atmosphere for ne
gotiation which was created by the
courtesies and assurances of the first

Continued From First Page.
Mr. Bodey asked to be excused from
answering this question, and Chairman
^Hamilton (Mich:) intimated that the
democrats were being forced by their
organization to oppose the bill.
Object! Objectl
Representative Moon (Tenn.)-inter-
rupted the argument to say: I object
to the gentleman from Michigan and
the gentleman from Missouri having
this fuss here when in private they ex
press opposite opinions."
Mr. Rodey denounced the system of
taxation in both New Mexico and Ari
zona and said corporate influences have
beefc' draining Doth territories and
holding down their taxes. Under joint
statehood he said the people of the
two territories could unite and curb
these influences and prevent their pub
lic domain from being stolen. He
prqnounced the denunciation of the
Mexican population in New Mexico as
ridiculous and said the Mexicans were
religious and law-abiding and in no
sense a menace to the welfare of the
proposed state.
Corporate Influence.
In answer to questions from Repre
sentative Moon, Mr. Rodey made a de
tailed stateme'nt of how corporate in
fluences get control of territorial gov
ernments which are dominated by fed
eral officeholders. He frankly said
that ho and Delegate Smith, and other
well-known men ride on railroad passes
and place themselves under obligations
to the companies. "Uh'der statehood,
he said, governors would be responsible
directly to the people and the public
demand for increased taxes on corpo
rate interests would be respected for
political -reasons. *4si

W^ir between two great burlesque
theater circuits apparently is to be
carried by the Columbian' theater cir
cuit into the territory of the Empire
circuit, in the twin cities. C. M. Beck
declares that he will build in St. Paul
and Minneapolis two theaters that will
surpass any in either city. He is ne
gotiating for a site in Duluth.
The Minneapolis theater will be
built near Hennepin avenue and Sixth
street, he says, and wiH be known as
the Temple. In St. Paul, the site chosen
is on Minnesota, between 8ixth and
Seventh streets, the house to be known
as the Princess. In Duluth, where
there is no vaudeville house, the thea
ter will be near the Bt. Louis hotel
ana will be called the American,
The Empire circuit already has
strongholds in Minneapolis, St! Paul
and Milwaukee-, and other middle-west
cities. The Columbian circuit, whom
it is surmised Mr. Beck represents, is
powerful. The Dewey and Star thea
ters in Minneapolis and St. Paul are
Empire circuit houses.
C. M. Beck says he is perfecting one
of ths strongest vaudeville combina
tions in the northwest. He promises
cosy family theaters in which the stage
will be easily visible from all parts of
the house. Prices will be uniform. All
seats, including boxes, will be 10 cents
at matinees, with evening prices of 10
and 15 cents.
PORGH-GLIMBERS ARE
CONDUCTING CAMPAIGN
Police Superintendent J. G. Doyle has
warned the detectives to look out for
porch climbers and he has received in
formation .that there are likely to be
several attempts at robbery made by
those methods. Two residences were
robbed last night and two the night
before. All are in the same part of
the city and at one place the men were
seen on the roof by a pedestrian.
A young woman who lives near Port
land avenue and Twenty-fifth street
saw two men on the porch of M. W.
Savage's residence, Thursday night,
and her presence of mind undoubtedly
prevented the robbery. It was about
8 p.m. when she passed the side porch
and saw the men. A large hook with
a rope attached to the top of the porch
Bhowed how they" had reached the place.
She immediately went into the Savage
home and warned the family. The rob
bers suspected her motive and escaped,
taking their apparatus with them.
The residence of M. Breelauer. 1766
Irving avenue S, was entered by tnieves
early last evening. The loot consisted
of some rings and other small articles,
but the men were evidently frightenea
away, for nothing else of value was
touched.
Burglars also broke into M. Mint
enet^s residence, 23320 Girard avenue
S, and stole a small amount of money.
Both cases are being investigated by
the police.

THE NATIONAL, HOUSE
Washington, Jan. 20.Reform in the
matter of making deficiency appropria
tions agitated the house yesterday and
the entire time of the five and a quar
ter hours' session was devoted to its
discussion.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill was considered under the general
debate* order, and Mr. Littauer of New
York, in charge of the lull, set the pace, gf
by pointing out the failure ot the legie
lation of last year to curb the heads of
departments their demands for de-"^
ficiency supplies. He explained the
more stringent measures recommended
in the bill, and said that several re- $
quests for money had been refused by
the epmmittee. 2
The one specific illustration of the
need for reform which was cited was
the appropriation of $2,615 for a por
trait of former Attorney General Knox,
which Attorney General Moody had
paid for out of the contingent fund of
the department of justice and for which
the bill would make reimbursement.
Under the new limitations this use
of the contingent fund will not be
permitted. This view of the case was
acquiesced in by Mr. Brundige, of Ar
kansas, Mr. Livingston of Georgia and
Mr, Fitzgerald of New York, all mi
nority members of the appropriation!
