NEW YORK, April 80.
The feeling at tho Windsor was bearlsh and
feverlsh last evening regarding the course Of
the market and tho remarkable weakness and
decline in tho U. Pacific, Mo. Pacific and W.
Union, was the subject OF much discussion. 1t
was generally believed that the Mo. p. 90.
would soon reduce its dividend rate, but the
brokers said that Mr.. Gould bought this stock
on n scale yesterday afternoon, and no also
bought OF telegraph 500 shares, every y down.
Tho most important feature in W. Union,
however, was the sale OF about $4,000 shares
by Van SchaycB.
Carl De Silver, who is regarded as q pretty
good Judge OF tho movements in Mo. Pacific,
believes the stock is going down and It Is q
good short sale, particularly upon rallies, IL
IL has any. The weakness In Central Pacific
was generally ascribed to intimations OF re-
ducton In dividends to per cent. and tho do.
10y in publishing last years report by the
management. Mr.. q. z. Huntington stoutly
denies that there is any intention to reduce
interest rates, as proposed; but tho low price
for tho stock, and tho lack OF support by In
eiders who should take caro- OF the property,
creates much distrust.
Mr.. Gowen was In town yesterday and said
Mr.. Vanderbilt assured him that no hadn't
cold share OF his Reading; on the contrary,
he had bought more.
eddy tho truth, for MIR. Vanderbilt told him
last week that he bought 5000 shares on
Friday last. Tho brokers said last evening
that Mr.. Connor's brokers were very large
sellers Of Reading stock yesterday, and they
cold IL constantly all day.
Russell Sage continues to talk bulllsh, but
nobody relies much upon his advice. He
thought last evening that from to-day prices
would improve and the lowest range OF values
had probably boen seon. Tho brokers who
watch the operations closely In Tex. & X. Il.
cay there is n constant stream OF inside llquida.
tion going on, and all the stock that the mar.
kot can possibly absorb Is daily fed out. Cam.
mack says he has very little interest In the
market now, but prices are going down aud
every day adds fresh rottenness In the stock
list and causes further liquidation.
prominent stock house, formerly In the
Jersey Central Gowen-Gnrrett pool, but now
disinteresied, says that n lot OF Jersey stock
was taken from the hands OF brokers yester.
day and sold out, and 1t is quite evident tho
clique Is leaking.
The buying OF ST. Paul yesterday was no.
ported decidedly better than the Hing, ana the
bull pool in D., j.. & W. declare they Will moi
give up their position without making dos
perate fight. ono OF the trunk limo Vice .presi-

had rated down the proposition TO advance
East.bound grain rates to 20 cents.

Amsterdam IN. " Sentinel
Miss Kate Smulsey, of Fort Plain the famous
faster, whose case has attracted the attention of
the whole scientific world and who is claimed to
have abstained from food nearly 300 days, is, TO
all appearances, as hearty as ever The ruddy
glow of her face and comparatively plump form,
that so thoroughly puzzled those who examined
her some time ago, remain the same and are
sadly out of keeping with the assertions of her
mother and others, who stoutly aver that not
mouthful of food has passed the faster's lips in
over six months. ut is impossible for her to
eat, Mrs. Smulsey says 'and none of us can
tell what has kept her alive" DR.. Collar, her
physician, states that it is all a mystery to him.
He can give no explanation of the case, and does
not know how her life has been sustained so
long. The young lady does not sleep more than
one hour out OF twenty four, and is extremely
restless when awake. Many continue to main
tain that the whole thing is a hoax, and it GER
tainly does look as though Miss Smulsey has
some mode of obtaining food, and it is possible
that she does so without the knowledge of her
attendants

SCHOFIELD'S REPORT.
lie Urges that the Government Grant Aid
to State Militia.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE annual report Of
vision of the Missouri, published to-day, treats
of the operations in that division during the
past year The roster of troops in the division
shows seven regiments and two companies of
cavalry nineteen regiments and one company
of infantry, and four batteries of field artillery
The report urges the necessity of liberal appro-
priations to provide permanent shelter and bar
racks for the troops in the division. He
refers to the destitute condition of certain In
dian tribes of the Department of the Platte, and
uges that means be provided for their relief.
He urges the necessity for a practical school for
field artillery, fashioned after the schools of APP
plication for infantry and cavalry at Leaven-
worth. He mentions the encampments of the
Illinois National Guard during the months of
July and August, when an inspection of troops
was made by Lieutenant-colonel Swettzerel of
the Eighth Cavalry. General Scofeld, in this
of schools in the several States The
officers and men in the use of
the modern rife in the field, the
manoeuvers necessary to make fire of the rifle
effective, and in the details Of army life both in
camp and in garrison. One year ofsuch instruc-
ton to young men between seventeen and
twenty years of age would make, he argues, ex
cellent soldiers-far more valuable than many
times their number of unframed militia. The
government might well give reasonable aid to
these schools in money, military materials and
experienced instructors, such as would make the
system inexpensive to the States.

Betting on the Election.

Brooklyn Eagle.
If every man who bet on the election was re-
strained from voting, as he should have been,
the total vote of New York would have been
about one-fifth of its present size Nearly every
one put up money in way or the other on the
result Betting not entirely confined to the
men by any means, and the woman who hadnta
dozen of gloves, a case of champagne, a pug dog
box at the theater on the result must have
been very conservative Everybody took a
chance in one way or the other and in all the
big dry goods houses brokers' offices and factor
les there were pools sold on the State L know
of one dry goods house up town where all who
chose Clipped in twenty five cents apiece, on the
maiorieties for either Cleveland or Blaine The
pool sheet was made out with estimated MAORI
ties of from 1000 to 100 600 either man for
the State. 1t so happened that everybody in the
house put his name under the 20, 900, 30, 900 or
40, 900 one way or the other, leaving the MAORI
ties of under 100 900 for both Blaine and Cleve
land untaken. The head of the house was the
last one to go into the pool. He entered into the
spirit of the thing, tossed half dollar into the
box and put his name down in two places for a
small majority either way. The day after cleo
ton he saw that he was sure winner one way
or the other as the majority could not be very
large The pool paid forty odd dollars and, as
usual, the richest man on the list caught it. 'To
him who hath, more shall be given etc.
