TURBULENT STUDENTS AT A FINALE MINSTREL
PERFoRMANCE-A CITY IN AN UPRoAR.-A tele-

Feb. 24th, says: Last night the Nine. Rentz
Female M1nStrelS gave an entertainment at
Wilgus Hall and about 200 students, who were In
attendance, contl1ved to break it up. During
the first part OF the performance the shouting.
cat calls and horn blasts grew so fierce that the
manager was compelled to ring down the cur
tain, but on the proteStat1Ons OF the STU
dents that they would thereafter remain
quiet the curtain was raised and the
performance resumed. When the last piece-a
" Pnafore" burleSque was ATTEMPTED the
noise became so loud that the singers could not
be heard, the whole mass OF students Joining
and singing Cornell version Of "Plnafore" at
the tops OF their voices. The town roughs, who
formed large portion of the audience, became
angry at the proceedings and commenced an
ass ault on the students. Chairs and bench, 8
were broken, eyes were blackened and heads
pummelled, and to add to the confusion the gas
was eXt1ngu1shed. rush was theh made Tor
Ihe street, and the fighting continued
The police arrested freshman named
whitney, and after a severe struggle got
mace by the students to rescue him, but each
time they were prevented by the policemen and
young men OF the town. After considerable
wrangling trial was held. The freshman was
fined $50. and on President Russell becoming Sc
curety for the f1ne the offender was borne Off In
triumph by the students. Until late hour at
night occasional lights occurred between towns
men n!a ant and gownsmen, a great many sore heads
and bleeding noses resulting therefrom. Three
or four students were carried off insensible or
bleeding, and great number of both parties
were badly beaten with clubs although no one
was fatally injured. 1t is thought that the mat

Disfranchised by Famine.

OTTAWA, ONT, Feb. 25.-In the House of Com
mons yesterday Sir John Macdonald moved the
adoption OF an address to the governor-general
intimating to him that the house had passed
resolution giving S1OO. 900 towards the relief of
the suffering Irish. MIR. Mckenzie said he had
observed in telegraphic dispatches that an
amendment bad been made to the ministerial
bill in England for the relief Of the poor who
were suffering from famine In Ireland, setting
forth that every person who received such relief
should be disfranchiSed. He desired that no
contribution from Canada should be used to
disfranchfse any one In Ireland. Sir John Mac
Donald said that this law was part of the door
law or England, but he would see that repre-
sentations were made to the effect that Cana
dian funds should not be applied to disfran-
chiSing any Irish voter.

NEW YORK, FeD. 25.-A San Francisco special
to the Herald states that at the sand lots meet

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The Posts financial ar
ucle to-day says: THE Stock Exchange mar
ketS opened under the demoralZing influence of
yesterday afternoons raid and speculative
stocks have been alternately weak aud steady
but In the main weak prices having fallen la
224 per cent. The decline was led by Western
Union Telegraph, Erie, Iron Mountain Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph, Pacific Mall and Hanni-
bal and st. 10. Considering the pressure to
Which the market has been submitted: the ex-
traordinary threats which have been made
respecting the money market and gold
shipments, it must be said that the
market has shown surprising steadlness. An
inherently weak market would have given way
Two or three times the amount of the present
decline. There are great many outsiders In
the market, but they have, up to the present
writing, at least, made much better stand than
in their first campaign last November. AS to
the situation, two of the leading SPECTATORS
botn as respects capital and skill, are pro-
nounCed bears. In their favor they have the
fact that prices are undoubtedly high, and that
the money market is firmer than year ago, or
than was expected; that April settle
ments are not remote, and that the foreign
trade OF the country is, so far as the money
market can be concerned, unfavorable, where It
was favorable year ago. and during the year
1873. On the other hand, there is more concen-
trated speculative capital enlisted against a
considerable decline in prices than there is on
the side OF lower prices. and there is frSt-class
speculative skill also engaged In supporting
prices. The following on the Bull side is also
larger than on the Bear side. 1t is true, more
over, that the railroad and telegraph companies
are doing an unprecedentedly large business, and
that, while money commands higher
rate than last year, it is because legitimate
borrowers are more profitable. From this out
line OF the situation our readers can form their
own opinion. The market for U. s. bonds is y
lower for as and AZ per cents. Railroad bonds
are somewhat lower for the speculative issues,
but are still strong for strictly investment
classes. The money market is fairly active at
6 per cent on stocks, the exceptional quota
tion being per cent. AS is always
the case, there is uneasiness as to the course
of prices; money-lenders discriminate in
the collateral offered them. On U. s.
bonds the quotation is about per cent
Prime mercantile paper is 5a5H per cent in the
market for foreign exchange; the business is
not large. There are rather more commercial
bills offering, the quotation for prime being
4S224a4S3 The posted rates OF the leading
bankers drawing on London are 4s5a4sIh, the
actual rates are 4s4ai and 4s714; the market
for GO days being about steady, while that for
demand bills and cable transfers is strong, the
last named being quoted 4S7ka4s72l. There
are no indications as yet that this market Is
manipulated for early shipments of gold as Is
threatened by leading stock spectators, who
are working to break the stock market"
