WANT TO CRAWL OUT.
Supreme Court of chihuahua Likely to re
verse the Ruling of the Lower Court
in the Cutting Case.

Ell fASo, TEX, Aug. l7-Rumors are cur
rent here that large bodies Of Mexican
troops are streaming into Chihuahua. The
arrival of Special Agent Sedgewick is anx-
iously awaited by both sides. He will spend
few days in Paso del Norte, and then 90
To Oh. huahua, where ne will stay at least
a week, and then. If he SHOULD decide to go
on 70 The City of Mexico, he would remain
on his TIP at least two weeks longer. The
tone. OF the daily papers in the City
of Mexico shows that so far the McXicans
have kept up n still upper lip, but it looks
as though they would like TO get ont OF the
Cutting ofair, if they could do so without
squarely backing down. The affair will
probably he managed by the Supreme
Court OF Chihuahua, reversing the decision
of the iower court at PasO Del N0rte and
ordering tho release of the prisoner. Cut
ting then would have heavy claim for
damages.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-The stock market
opened this morning with prices lower than
Saturdays closing. There was no pressure
TO sell, and after the first dealings the market
exhibited decided strength. 1t was generally
conceded that the Western passenger rate
war was OF small consequence, and involved
the loss of only an Insignificant
amount of revenue. The announce
ment that movement was on
foot for the settlement of these differences
started all the Changers up, an advance OF
about point being quickly scored. II was
stated J. p. Morgan had an hours conference
with the organization committee Of Reading
to-day and suggested that the reorganiza-
ton OF the road be placed In the
hands Of a committee of i've, three OF which
were TO be named BY the syndicate The
coal stocks were all buoyant on the prospect
that the syndicate would carry out it's scheme
OF harmonizing the anthracite coal interests
of the country. On this assumption IL was
asserted that Lackawanna was worth $50
After temporary luii about midday the en-
tire market took another squirt upward,
the coal stocks leading, followed closely
by the Fanderbilts. Delaware
Hudson advanced from 95sz At the opening 10

Armour was quoted as saying that he was
not selling ST. Paul. and this was taken 70 indi-
cate that he was not using the rate war as
means of depressing stock After recording
an advance Of two to FIVE points, the market
closed strong at about the highest point OF

good with prices about lGI2c below the figures

little, just barely enough for current use, and
brokers having orders for outside millers
did about the same thing. Offerings
were fair and considerable went
