informs the Navy Department that he
has landed about $50 men in Panama
for the protection of American inter-
asts.
Secretary Whitney replied to him
Your duty is confined to protecting the
railway and steamship companies pro-
perty and the lives and property Of
American citizens, and so far as your
force permits, to keep transit open. In
the conflicts between the local forces
you must not participate nor show
favor or disfsvor to either"
Secretary Whitney to-day received

mander Kane at Aspinwall: 1.-The Al

MUTTERINCS OF Discomfort.
Democratic Congressman Think IL Is Time

0fJses

Of3sss.
tBy telegraph TO the Dlspatch.l
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Democrati
members of Congress are still grum-
bling about the policy of the Admins
tration, and predicting many evils if
the offices are not turned over pretty
soon. The Virginia delegation has de-
cided that the Mahoneites must be put
out of all the offices they hold in
the State at once, or the Demo-
cratic party will be in q bad way at
the next election there, and they will
have hard time to hold on to the
management Of State affairs. The
Ohio men are even more cut up, and
the result Of the municipal elections
adds to their discontinue. Some Of
the members from the far South are
complaining, too. though they say that
what they want is not to have the
patronage thrown into their own Sec
ton particularly, but to have it 20
where it will do the most good. They
want the States that are naturally Dem
ocratic, but have been held by Republi-
can patronage. and those like Illinois
and Michigan, which are missionary
States" to be brought over to the party
by unlimited patronage.
A Democratic member OF Congress
said that he felt that there was no use
in trying to conceal the fact that the
party politicians were altogether at va
rance with Mr.. Cleveland, and that it
would have its effect on the State cleo
tons. lie said that the politicians
would find out who was the Adj
ministration candidate in every case,
and would knife him as Folger
was knitted in New York as = rebuke
TO Arthur. He thought the Admins
tration and the House would be to-
gether this winter on the tariff and the
Immigrant forfeiture questions and
other questions relating to the rail-
roads, but that if the President tried
to force the suspension of silver coin
age the Democrats in the House would
rebel against the Administration.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April 9.-The
railroad law of South Carolina provides
that the salaries Of the railroad commits
sioners shall be paid by the railroads
according to their gross incomes. The
Columbia and Greenvills Railroad Com
psny was assessed under the law OIL ,065,
which amount was paid into the trea-
sury Of Richland county under protest.
The railroad company then instituted
suit TO recover the amount, and the case
was heard in the Court OF Common Pleas
yesterday. The plaintiff held that the
assessment was tax, and double
and unequal one, and therefore uncon-
stitutional. The State maintained that
il was in the nature Of license, and
therefore legal. Judge Witherspoon
charged the jury that the assesspens
was q tax and not . license, and that
it was inequitable and unconstitutional,
and instructed them to find for the
plaintiff, which they did. The State
will appeal to the Supreme Court.

dueed q panic. All international stocks

NEW YORK, April o. The stock
market opened strong and excited this
morning on the European war news and
the carly dealings, and there was = rush
bv the shorts 10 cover. First prices
were generally ! to ] higher than the
close last evening, and q further gain OF
4 to ! was made during the first half
hour. This was followed BY a slight
reaction and some hesitation. Wander
bits and the Pacific Mail showing the
greatest weakness, while the Changers
remained strong. The street was very
much puzzled over the somewhat con-
flicting reports from London, which
showed that British and Russian con-
soils were very weak, while the
governors of the Bank Of England, who
met to-day, failed to make any change
in the rate Of discount 81 per cent?.
1t was claimed that il the situation
was in fact serious one Of the first
acts OF the governors would be to in
crease the discount sale, but against
this was the admitted fact of heavy
decline in British Government sccuri-
ties, with an advance At the same time
of better class Of American securities.
The only potent influence throughout
the day on the market was the news
that was received from Europe regard
ing the prospects Of war, and under
these prices rallied soon after midday
and continued strong, with active
trading in some of the leading stscks.
Total sales, 337 900 shares. Seventy
nine per cent. of the business WAS
monopolized by the Northwestern, Pa
cific Mail. st. Paul. Lake Shore, Lack
awsnna, New York Central, and Union
Pacific. Prices this evening are within
q small fraction of the highest Of the
day as a rule, and generally | to u

a single stock on the active list shows

the opening this morning that wheat
was valued Sc. higher than ct the
close last night. The hustle snd
commo,ion occasioned by the new
order Of things made itself felt
not only in the Exchange building,
but extended to Ls Sale and Washing
ton Offices Of brokers. Early in the
morning excited groups had gathered to
discuss the unexpected receipt Of war
news, and the market on the curb "
was three cents higher for wheat than
at the close yesterday. The grand
scene Of turmoil and confusion, how
ever, was reserved for the fsor Of the
Exchange. Heavy traders, who are
rarely seen on the floor, were present in
force long before the bell sounded, and
were as thick in the fray Is any Of the
young traders and brokers. When tho
market opened there was . hurried run
ming to cover BY the " shorts" but
many Of the "long" traders were
willing to take the profits in sight, and
there was . free exchange Of options,
which 10 well evidenced BY the
fact that although the wheat market
closed SEE. over the closing prices OF
last night, no failures were reported
and buying orders from the outside
were very numerous and while there
were evidences during the session Of
heavy losds Of wheat being thrown
overheard, the general situation remain
ed strong enough to sustain the market
well up to the best figures Of the day.
The appreciation in wheat on regular
Board was 4ic. above closing ysstsr-
day, and on the afternoon Board there
WAS another advance Of Il. The foreign
markets were all reported strens and
