for sixtyday bills and $4.SI12 for demand
The bears had another inning in the stock
market again to-day and while the selling
made more animated market prices de-
clined from "a to liz pei. cent. There were
this morning. and the professionals and
traders quickly followed suit which brought
about marked decline in some stocks be-
fore the end of the first hour. The pressure
was specially severe against the Richmond
and West Point stocks, Reading and ST. Paul,
which later in the day were joined by Lacka
wanna, Missouri Pacific and Louisville &
Nashville and among the inactive stocks Bur
lipgton q Quincy and Norfolk & Western
preferred. The news of the day was
of rather an encouraging tone. There
being an announcement that the house
had taken up the bill to apply the surplus to
the purchase of bonds, and the trunk line
meeting was very fully attended with
harmonious feeling prevailing, but no effect
was had upon the market whatever There
was heavy pressure brought upon Reading,
but the stock was very we'll supported until
the last attack in the afternoon wfen it
yielded with the rest of the list and IL ma
terially lower this evening. The opening
was irregular, though the differences from
last evening" prices were for no more than
So per cent either way. Some improvement
soon yielded to the pressure, though business
was still dull except for three or four leading
stocks The decline was checked toward
noon and utter stagnatiOn overspread the
list, which remained without feature of any
kind until the last hour when the attack was
resumed and further fractional losses were
sustained, the market finally closing quiet
but weak at the lowest figures reached. The
net result of the days operations
is to leave everything on the ac-
tive list lower, and Erie preferred
is down per cent Hooking Coal, 1l2;
Reading and Richmond and West Point
preferred, s1ss each; Norfolk & Western, 1ls;
Louisville d. Nashville and Burlington d
Quincy, per cent each, and the rest of the
list fractional amounts. Railroad bonds
were fairly active, the total sales amounting
to 81. 40, 0O6, though the feature of the day
was the renewal of the attack On Erie sec
onds, which again yielded and furnished
$500, 900 to the days total The remainder
of the issues traded in were quiet with no
special feature of importance. st. Paul,

Mr.. Rice's Victory.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON Feb. 29.-Thesubstitute
for Mr.. Rice'S bill to provide for col
lector at the port of st. Paul passed the
house to-day: 1t reads as follows:
.There shall be in the collecting dis
tricts of the state of Minnesota the fol-
lowing officers: First, the District of
Minnesota-A collector who shall reside
at st. Paul and whose compensation
shall be the same as that provided for
the collectors named in section 2675 of
the revised statutes of the United
States, and deputy collector, who
shall reside at st. Vincent. Second, in
the District of Duluth-A collector who
shall reside in Duluth" This bill was
recommended by the secretary of the
treasury. g Heretofore, says MIR. Rice,
'St. Vincent was the port of entry and
st. Paul was a SUPPORT, but this bill
transposes the matter. 1t is very graft
flying to me to have the bill passed, and
especially so, because it meets with the
appreciation of the secretary of the
treasury"

KNUTE NELSON.
His Reservation Bill--Glad to
Leave Congress.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The house
committee Oh Indian affairs considered
to-day, by previous appointment. Knute
Nelson's substitute bill for opening
Red Lake, and all other Indian reserYa-
lions in Minnesota, and for the two
treaties negotiated by the Northwest
commission. The members of the COM
mittee speak in the most favorable
terms of the bill, and its discussion will
be continued in committee tomorrow
morning. 1t is hoped that the bill may
be presented with favorable report
from the committee next Tuesday or
Wednesday, at which time the COM
mittee on Indian affairs will have the
floor for consideration of this and the
Sioux reservation bills. Mr.. Nelson
iunched to-day with Mr.. Lund and
Maj. Strait. In response for queries for
general information, Mr.. Nelson said:
"YOu can say that am counting on
my emancipation one year and four
days from this date. | am counting the
time on all almanac like fellow count
ing notches Oh stick previous to the
circus. Maj. Strait here has better
time than all of us slaves in congress.
He has all the fun and none of the
work and annoyance. [ long for the

THE TARIFF BILL
To Be Made Public Probably To-
Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says that
the tariff bill has been agreed upon by
the ways and means committee and
will probably be printed tomorrow. 1t
is understood that, by the provision of
the bill, raw materials of every kind
and nature utilized in our manufacture
ing industries are placed on the free
list. The duty on coal and iron ore has
not been changed. There will I'M
doubleday be a cut of not less than S.
nor more than 81 in steel rails. The
free list contains hemp, flax, wool, lum-
Der, salt and building stone. There is
long list of other articles, but those are
the most important. The reduction on
20 per cent will be made OH plate glass,
glass. Earthernware will be reduced
about 1919 per cent ad valorem.
The duty on metals is reduced
practically from 37.7 per cent
to 331I per cent. The most important
schedulein the bill is the wool schedule.
The trainers of the bill, it is understood.
believe that in the event of the bill be-
coming a law wool manufacturers will
be placed upon basis of prosperity
which they have never enjoyed under
the present tariff. 1t Is claimed that the
bill, if passed as drawn, will give to the
manufacturers of WOrsted and WOODEN
goods at least 20 per cent ad valorem
protection on their products. 1t will
practically open up the markets or the
world to them. The sugar schedule is
reduced 22 per cent, or gross reduction
of s12,O0O,O0O. The aggregate reduction
in imports will amount to from S50,000,
600 to $50, 100000. The reduction on in
ternal revenue will amount to from
$4,000, 900 to S30OOO,OO0. This will be
principally upon tobacco and the
licenses and taxes on distillers. 1t is
very improbable that any reduction will
be made on whisky. beer or spirits dis
titled from fruit. 1t may be said in
general way that the average gross re-
duction on all articles, including the
free list, will be about so per cent. The
rumOr that fish is to be placed on the
free list is false. The proposition was
never seriously considered.

Hydrophobia Durable.

HOLLY, Mich, Feb. 29.-Dr. Hunter
has again tested his hydrophobia cure.
Feb. IL he inoculated eight rabbits, and
after one week he commenced to adj
minister the antidote to four of those
inoculated, and they have shown no
signs of the fatal epidemic. The other
four were left undisturbed and about
the same time yesterday each of the
four rabbits had fit, Immediately after
which Mr.. Hunter gave two hypoder-
mic injection of his antidote. The rab-
bits have shown no further signs of dis
ease, but the two that the doctor gave
no attention died short time ago, after
having three fits. DR.. Hunter is conf
dent that his cure is sure one, as it
has worked perfectly successful ON
every trial thus far.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Col. Malcolm
Sellers, of Fort Howard, Wis, promi-
nent wool dealer, is here on business.
He taught Cush X. Davis in Carroll col
lege, Waukesha, and says he was a good

the offerings of cattle were three cars of

the right kinds of cattle are sure of ready
