THE WEATHER. In St. Paul and vicinity today! Showers. VOL. XXVI.—NO. 219. CLOUDS IN WALL STREET'S SKIES ARE PUSHED AM Sharp Recovery Is Due Not to a Bu>ing Combination but to the Simple Fact That Stocks Happen to Be Cheap Just at the Present Time. NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Following a weak, almost panicky, opening, today's stock market suddenly revised its course, substantial gains being regis tered by practically all the better class securities. The average of net ad var>ces were about 2 per cent. In some instances gains were much, greater. New York Central led the active list with a net gain of 3%. The change of front, which occurred in the early afternoon, was doubtless due to several reasons, the .most potent of which was the "good" buying which seemed to emanate from high quarters. There is little room for doubt that stocks were purchased free ly today by insiders —by banks, bank ing houses, financial institutions gen erally, and wealthy individuals beca\ise they seemed cheap. No justification could be found for the report, rather industriously circulated, that the Van derbilts, Rockefellers and Harrimans, With their hosts of followers, had en tered upon a plan to lift prices. As a matter of fact, not a little part of today's improvement was undoubt edly due to extensive covering, many on the short side regarding the mar ket as being very much oversold. De spite the marked improvement, further talk of trouble and probable failures was heard on every side almost to the close, which was really buoyant. Re ports current in trustworthy circles suggest that several firms and individ uals whose affairs were found to be in bad shape have been permitted to make private settlements, thus saving them selves such sacrifices as would inevi tably have been made had their hold ings been thrown upon the market. The day's business was slightly less than 1,000,000 shares. Stocks that made the most extensive net gains in clude Sugar, American Tobacco pre ferred, St. Paul, Colorado Fuel, Dela ware & Hudson, Denver &• Rio Grande, General Electric, Hocking Valley pre ferred, Illinois Central, International Power, Louisville & Nashville and Met ropolitan Subscriptions, New York, Chicago & St. Louis second preferred, North American, Rubber Goods pre ferred, Southern Pacific, Virginia-Car olina Chemical, common and preferred, "Wabash preferred, Westinghouse, Wheeling & Lake Erie second prefer red and St. Louis & San Francisco, Eastern Illinois Certificates, the lat ter advancing 10 points. Marked im provement was shown also in the bond list. AMERICANS OPEN *IEW SIEGE ON LONDON New York and Chicago Men PJan Department Stores in Kingsway. Special Cable to The Globe.

GIRL IS RESCUED FROM PEONAGE 8Y SOUTH DAKOTANS Sold to a Life of Drudgery by Her Father, She Aspires to a Happier Destiny Through Reading the Bible—Ranch men and Trainmen Assist. Special to The Globe. CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—After spending fifteen of the seventeen years she has lived in alleged bondage on a South Dakota ranch, MJss Louise Haby has been rescued and is now safe in the home of her uncle, John Mayer t in this city. The girl was sold to a'Dakota plant er for $25, it is said, when she was two years old. She never left the ranch in her life, never went to school, and her existence from her early recollection was one of horror. "A few days ago her uncle discovered her whereabouts and arranged with neighboring ranch-1 men to aid her in escaping. The fath er of the girl who sold her into peonage is said to be in South Africa and ad vantage was taken of his absence to rescue her. All the ranchmen, telegraph operat ors, cowboys and trainmen in the vi cinity assisted in the deal. Fast relays of horses, misleading telegrams, the stopping of train on the prairies and other methods helped to get the girl out of the jurisdiction of the man who bought her. She will be placed in school in this city. "I have never seen the inside of a church or school house, and have never had playmates like other girls," said the young woman today, exhibiting a pair of hands that would do credit to a street laborer. "Dolls? I have never seen one. My life has been one round of work —digging wells, milking cows, pitching hay, ranging cattle and break ing horses." During her dreary years of drudgery she says she would by chance secure a piece of newspaper, by reading which she would learn something of the hap penings of the great world that seemed to lie away off somewhere in space. She read of the lives of other girls at times, and occasionally she read a Bi ble, which she would steal put of its hiding place in the rancn shack. Rev elations that came through these medi ums filled the girl's soul with longings for a different and a better life.

LONDON, Augr. 6.—The committee stage of the Irish land bill was reach ed in the house of lords this afternoon. There was an unusually large attend ance of Irish peers. The divisions on the amendments indicated a determined fight and in the decision of the first amendment the government narrowly escaped defeat by one vote. In the following division the government was defeated by three votes. Neither amendment was vital to the bill, but as notice had been given of thirty-four pages of amendments, this early opposition to the govern ment aroused In Nationalist circles ap prehension of trouble before the com mittee stage of the bill is concluded. Another amendment moved by Lord Abercorn (Conservative) was carried against the government by a majority of three. After that the progess was easier to clause 42, upon reaching which the house adjourned. >¥?T¥TVT¥TVfTyTyVTTTTVyTTyT^TTTTT¥TTTTTTT'rV?TfTTTyTy WTVTTVWVVTW W •** TVVWWV 4 THAT SOFIA NEVER WILL BE A COMFORTABLE PLACE FOR THE TURK.

MORA, Minn., Aug. 6. —News comes of a fight in the wilds of Mille Lacs lake, near Lawrence, in which Otto and Nels Quick, two young men whose parents are residents of this city, nar rowly escaped death in a fight with drunken Indians. For some weeks past a blind pig has been operating openly at the lake, sell ing liquor to the reds, and, as a result, the Indians have been a disturbing element.

CONGRESS ML TALK EKE AND PASS NO BILL This Is the Prospect for the Forthcoming Session Be cause of Radical Differences —Cannon Fears Effect of Fi nancial Legislation. Special to The Globe. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 6.—lt is unlikely that there bs any finan cial legislation by the next congress. Already radical differences of opinion have developed among the supporters of such legislation and the powerful financial influences whose support is necessary for the passage of any leg islation on the subject. If the differ ences were confined to the legislative and administrative branches of the government they wdjild pc of no par ticular consequence. Congressional leaders have a way of adjusting such quarrels by compomige. The vital difficulty Is j that the two great financial parties, whose head quartes are in New Yoric, do not agree. The conservative element does not want the legislative assistance which the radical faction Is clamoring for. Unless these two factions agree, to a Continued on Sixth Page. LOOK TO CROWNING OF THE NEW POPE Pivileged Ones in Rome Will Witness a Five-Hour • Ceremony. ROME, Aug. 6.—The attention of Rome is now centered on the corona tion ceremony which is to ' on Sunday and for wlfLch great prepara tions are making. .The throne of St. Peter, which Piust-X. will occupy, will be surmounted by a canopy lorty feet high.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the pope will confer his blessing on the people, but it has not yet been decided whether he will do so inside the church or from the balcony looking out f*n the piazza, where many hoped he would bestow his benediction on the day-of his election. It is said that Pius X Is favorable to the latter plan, but th>c the influence of the Vatican officei s :is against it on the ground that itjpight be inter preted as a recognition of the present state of affairs in Italy.

It }a expected that 60,000 tickets will be> Issued for the event. In the consistories to be held Mon day and Thursday next the pope will confer the red hat on Cardinals Ajuti, Taliani, Kalschthaler aiid Herrero y Espinosa, who were raised from the purple on June 25, but who have not received these symbols of rank because of the illness and death of Leo.

ATMOSPHERE KILLS CATS AND CATTLE South Dakota Town Experi ences a Phenomenon in "Poisoned Air." Special to The Globe. SIOUX CITY, lowa, Aug. 6.—One of the most remarkable atmospheric de pressions is reported from Oucoma, S. D., following the hottest day ever ex perienced In the South Dakota town.
