NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27 500 y. m.-Our market
opened strong and so continued throughout the
day, with small reactions, closing at an advance of
1Sa2 per cent, andI within Vol per cent Of the
highest prices Oft the day. Money ruled at 566per
cent. The fact that the market did not decline on
tho Washington news as to the Presidents condi-
ton started a movement TO cover among the shorts
and to this fact is ascrbed the greater part of to-
days advance. There is no change in the general
situation, money continuing full per cent. at

UNITED STATES MARsAALs, FEES.
The Recent Decision OF Judge Lawrence
Question Raised

In recent decision relative to fees of
United States marshals, clerks of .he Circuit and
District Courts, and commissioners of the Circuit
Courts for issue and service of subpmnas, Judge
Lawrence, First Comptroller held that subpnnas
for witnesses who are required to attend any term
of Circuit or District Court on the part of the
United States should require them to attend to
testify generally on behalf of the United States"
Under this ruling question has been raised as to
the "taxabiity Of the travel and attendance of
witnesses summoned generally against any one of
the accused who are arraigned at any particular
term and in a letter yesterday to the clerk of the
United States District Court at Hartford, Conn.,
Judge Lawrence supplements the previous
decision with the following: "Nothing in
the law indicates an intention to relieve
defendants In United States cases from the
payment of costs 1t was simply to
save unnecessary expense that witnesses for the
United States were required to be subpenaed to
attend to testify generally. In prosecutions for
fines and forleitures, under the United States Stat
utes defendants are subject to costs, and on con-
victon for any other oilenses not capital the court
may award that the defendant shall pay the costs
of prosecution. The amounts paid to witnesses
are to beSaxed and included in the judgments
against losing parties in cases where, by law costs
are recoverable in favor of the prevailing party.
The fct that witness has testified in criminal
on behalf of the United States Is sufficient for
the taxation of his fees for attendance and travel
in that case and If he appeared before a commits
sioner the grand jury, and tho petit jury the fees
allowed him by the commissioner and the court
should be included in the bill Of costs payable by
the defendant in case of conviction. If
witness testify in several criminal cases against
several defendants the court can appor-
tion his fees among the convicted defendants
according to circumstances but no one of the de.
PENDANTS should be charged with larger sum
than he would be liable for If the witness had
testified against him only. In districts where II
has been the practice to subpoena witnesses gen
orally for the United States have not heard of
any diAieulty In taxing costsp
