RallreadVa Brake Anvay Frew tke Ih awhtrlals mm 4 Specialties. NEW TORK Feb. 24, -Tbe most notable feature of todu s ftvcrlsh stock market was the fact that the railroad department appar ent!) succeeded In breaking away from tbe In fluence of the Industrials and apectaittos and In dlCerentiattng the unde4rabh dements of stocks la that department from tke demoralisa tion and weal en em in the others. The railroads su cumbed m tbe earl dealings to the aympa Ihetk Influence of tbe violent deennns among the Industrials, but during the day a conadent demand nwaiif up for a aumhar f railroad stocks which Hfted the level of that depart ment matortaJly aboxe Saturday's ateee. So far as the day news arat it shed Mtcte Hght on the excited weakness of a number of indus trials The mavsmiT.t took on the aapearaace of a sort of duel on the part of the contending Irteresta, and there are circumstances tending to confirm thto explanation of tbe movement. A report lauds credence that fws long Inter ests of the Third. Avenue deal are thriftily availing themselves of the unsettling ssTect of the weakness la aba stock to make a bear turn In other stocks. That bitter anhneaitMs ad rivalries are Involved to also a current rumor In the street, the warns potential entitles coming Into play durtog the panic of last Decem ber Tbe battle ntged most ami It about Ju cocks of tb Mw fork unite astiHaiea. or taJ entrauasa coatroi or which a longtandlnr sjntest has been wagad The aotcrlous -nihl aMBcu!ttav of Third Avenue played a oor.Unutag part tcay and there was added to tMt ru- v,- that the companies u uW pc- M-verely dealt wMJ- n the arrri -kteiw application eC UN Bu Jttst frn ve tasati - k re es truuM dacla-os ui tUc ew Turk jcju ui t.a FINANCIAL NEWS pas stocks ran from 2 to nearly 9 joints, the latter .a Thipd Avenue. Sagar was another storm center, ,tb? furious tfect.aiio la that stock hinging upon the d3ete regarding tbe nert quarterly OWKtend action, watoh Is Imminent. A reductlja In the exfetn& rate is taken for granted, but arl loa differs as to tbe amount of tbe reduction, extending all the war to the total suspension. J Sugar's total fall was 7. and it closed prac- ucany at tne wweet. Tennessee Coal and the. Tobacco stocks also showed notable weakness. Except In Sugar, there -were violent rallies from time to time, reflecting the demand from the bears to cover aborts. Tbe strength of the railroad stocks was based upon the substantial ground of Increased earnings. A large number of returns were made during the day, all showing very striking' gains over tbe corresponding period of last year. For tbe test week In February the most notable ex amples were Norfolk & "Western, Ontario & Western, LH.lsvillc & Nashville and Chioago, Indianapolis & Louisville. For January, a sharp showing of pet earn ings was made on "Wabash, Chicago & Eastern Illinois and Hocking Valley.

The experience that England Is going through In South AfrieA is said to bear a striking resemblance to that which Aus tria was called upon to face 2 years ago when, after the Congress of Berlin, the Turkish provinces of Herzegovina and Bos ma were turned over to Austrian control. It had been known at Vienna, at the time of the outbreak of the Turco-Rtasslan war. that these two provinces were -destined t3 come to the share of Austria, provided she continued to observe a neutral position hile the conflict was going on. hence an army of occupation had been organized la Austria before the Congress of Berlin gave K3 assent to this previously arranged e 9b &e8099BDosoo96bcoG'eeeets6d9oeoeoooeeedeesoeessQ j .

Greatjy to the surprise of, the Austrian govornment, a resistance was encountered which, in Herzegovina ' led to a' series of combats lasting through months of time. The territory covered by the two prov inces is small when compares with the area in land in South Africa, but the phy sical conditions of mountains, deep valleys and numerous rivers greatly resemble those which exl3t In the land of the Boers. The natives were assisted by some of the Turkish regiments, but, of' course, did nt have the weapons, ammunition or .leader? ship that the Boers have,' They fortlfled the hills which commanded the valleys and forced the Austrlans to drive Jiem from these, one after the other, a( p. great expenditure of time and .life. So critical was the condition qf affairs that the government of Vienna hurried forward additional troops, until, at the close pf t)ie campaign, there were more than 200,009 Austrian soldiers engaged, The loss 'to the Austrlans in a campaign of about three months was S000 in killed, wounded and permanently disabled, which shows that warfare among the mountains, even with a large army prepared for the war, Is not a service that can be undertaken, ex cept at great risk. . 10 ' Bourlce Coclcrnn'a Chance. New York Press, Bourke Cockran is now a leader of the hunting set. He is famous and rich. Hla rise was rapid. He married a lot of mon ey and has made a great deal in real es tate hy wjee investment of his wife's dot. But there were dark days for Bourke. One day he "was sitting on the stone Btepa in the City Hall square, buried In mis ery. His dress was not presentable and his pockets were absolutely empty. Fate took Ambrose E. Purdy that way, and, recognizing Bourke In despair, the assist ant district attorney tapped him on the shoulder. "Brace up, Bourke," he said cheerily. "What's the trouble?" Bourke confided in hlra. "I owe $150 for lodging and am to be turned out. I live over a Dutch beer saloon. I can't get a job. There's nothing for me to do. j think I'd better glye up." "Not on your life," said Purdy. "We'll fix things." An election was pending and spellbinders were In demand. Purdy proposed: "Bourke, why don't you give your land lord your note promising to pay him in six months, or some such, matter?" "Note! Note! My note wouldn't be accepted any where," said Bourke. "L'd be kicked out." "Nonsense! We'll go and make out tha paper for J500. I'Jl indorse It. You give! it to your landlord and nave him take out his 5150 and let you hae the difference.'" It was done. Purdy's Indorsement prov Ing acceptable, Bourke got $250 in cash, which he divided with his friend. Wkli the remainder he bought new clothes, and in a day or two was on the hustings plead ing and shouting for his party. It is no discredit to a man to get up In the world so long as ne does It honestly and honorably. Bourke need not be ashamed of the fact that he used to hantj around the front doors at Miner's Eighth Avenue 'theater for hours at a time, wait ing for the management to admit him tq' the "bombproof," Miner's private stage box for the accommodation bf psrsonal friends and influential politicians. Tim Sullivan owned It for years, and before he became ao rich and powerful William H. Clark was Its nightly inhabitant Bourke does not go there now. and Clark is worth" nearly $2,000,000.
