Mr.. Adams's course and speech is the talk OF the
town to-day and has excited no little surprise. The
effect ofhis movement, combined with other causes,
has depressed stocks, which declined to-day from
1 TO q per cent on all the less substantial de-
scripnons.
Some of the "shorts" adopted quite an unex-
pected plan to escape from the "eornern in which
they had been placed As before stated, the CONSOLE
dated stock ofthe Erie railroad amounted to about
1900 shares. About 900 shares remained uncon-
solidaed the period for consolidating which fixed by
the Legislature, having been suffered to pass by the
holders. The 'shoris" took legal counsel az to the
validity of this stock, and the obligations on the
part Of the president and directors TO consolidate il
still, which was said TO be favorable They hence
purchased this stock, which they call "conver-
be-" at about SIS, which they offer in liquidation

From our regular correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 3 1916.
You mnst have had an exciting scene in the
House yesterday, during the delivery Of Mr..
Adams's speech in favor of the one-years notice,
and of the American claim to the whole of Oregon.
Here the news of this proceeding received with
uncommon applause. There are many things in
the character of ex- President Adams worthy Of adj
miration, Notwithstanding those features in it which
are 30 unpopular. He is, in many things, the an
tipodes Of Mr.. Webster, and is, | believe, quite
honest in most Of his views, however mistaken some
of them may be. At any rate, his course on the
Oregon question will cause thousands to forget
much of the past, and to thank him in addition The
weight Of his great name-the influence OF high
and imposing character man of letters, and es-
pecialy as a man of research and reading--wil add
much to the moral force Of this mighty question be-
fore the world, and will contribute, III the most Gig
nal and essential manner, to the thorough union of
our own people upon any measures that may be re-
auired to vindicate the national rights and to pre-
serve the national honor. Rest assured, dear sir,
there has yet been question presented to the
American nation upon which there il a feeling
intense and determination mistaken, as upon
that Of our claim to the whole Of the great north
western territory. A very leading democrat from the
interior of Pennsylvania, with whom | conversed
yesterday and to-day, assures that the feelings OF
the people in the country are reused 10 degree
that has never been equalled. First came the Pres
dents message, asserting our rights to the Russian
line, which he declared had been sustained by cir
refrsgable proofs, and then the final letter Of our
distinguished Pennsylvanian, Mr.. Buchanan, prov
ing our claims to the extent named by series Of
arguments such all parties unite in pronouncing
to be unanswerable. These have suced to unite the
people as one man, and IL Congress acts according
to the popular willf the representatives carry out
the wishes Of their constituents the administration
will be sustained in its wise and sagacious course
Let us not be appalled, by the alarm cries Of
brokers and stockholders. Let not the opinions
Of those who live In commercial cities and depend
upon commerce for a livelihood, be rashly re-
gsrded, (ss | know they will not BEL by en-
