THE MARRTTs.
A Weak Opening, Followed by Rally
Toward the Close.

NEW York, May 5.-The labor troubles
are stlll the controlling influence In the
stock market. The news has been alarming
all day, but the belief Is growing that the
authorities are determined to enforce the
law at all hazard, and that the worst Of the
trouble has been passed. The market
opened somewhat irregular. After the
opening II became firm TO strong, and 80 re-
manned until towards IL o'clock, when II
yielded small fractions, excepting Jersey
Central, which was especially weak in that
time, losing upwards OF 1 per cent. The
market, after 2 o'clock, was quiet and
steady until nearly.i3 o'clock, when there
was renewed activity, accompanied by in
creased strength, which lasted until the
close, the market closing ut the highest
price OF the day.

Investigating Comm issiOner Blacks
Charges.


The Senate committee on public expendi-
lures continued the examination Of the CON-
missioner OF pensions yesterday as to his state
ment that the pension office. prior to his ad-
mlnlstration, has been run as q political ma.
chine. Two cases-that of Adiutant l.. L.
Kendrlck, 10th New York cavalry. and James
p Taylor OF the 18th Michigan-.were taken
up. The commissioner explained the various
Endorsements In these cases, nnd while ad-
hitting that they were meritorious, attempted
TO show that, through political Influence, they
were made special. In the case of Kendrlck,
1t was shown that he had been an active
work or In the Morton Guards, but had never
received any reward for his services The
commissioner showed that letter TO this
effect had been written TO Commissioner
Dudley upon receipt OF which the case was
made special. In The Taylor case the COM
missioner laid great stress upon the fact that
friends of Congressman Burrows, of Michigan,
interested themselves In Taylor's behalf and
Mr.. Burrows himself urged prompt action on
the pension applied for. He bell eyed that this
case was also made special on account ofits
strong political backing.

ture, was visiting in this city. he told
many interesting anecdotes Of his mis-
sionary life in India. Among them
was the following:
DIR. Chamberlain and Mr.. Scudder
were on tour of a certain portion of
India, preaching at the small villages
through which they passed. They
would attract the attention of the ma
tives by singing hymn. and then
would talk to them. generally using
some simple theme from the Scrip
lures One day when they had stopped
in a large village, they had collected
the people about them. In the rear
was sacred grove. the branches OF
the trees hanging down over the huts
that stood in the background. The
Scripture lesson had been finished,

boughs of the grove began to rustic
and troop of monkeys appeared. No
one saw them except Dr. Chamber

whskered, and bald-headed, mothers
with their baby monklings, all de-
scended and seated themselves in a
semicircle. All paid the strictest at

keyshines, one Of the dignilied old men
monkeys would twist his ear until the
little one would cease his pranks; and
if one of the babies began to snivel, a
few maternal pats guieted him.
DR.. Chamberlain could scarcely re-
strain himself at the comical sight,
and it was great reliel to him when
the assembly broke up. AS the people

they silently disappeared in the
