OBJECTIONS TO MIR. STEVENSON.
The Bar Association Adopts Resolu-
lions Opposing His Confirmation.

At meeting of the Bar association of the
District, held at the City hall yesterday after
noon, the nomination of First Assistant
Postmaster-General Stevenson to the va
cancy on the bench of the Supreme
Court OF the District was discussed at length
The expression of disapprobation Of
the action Of the President in max
ing this nomination was general. the
sentiments expressed following the line
of the utterances in THE STAR as to appoint-
ments to the District bench Of persons not
residents of the District and not famil-
lar with the laws or practice here
Resolutions respecting the nomination
were offered by Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson
but another set of resolutions more pronounced
was substituted fer them and adopted. The
resolutions adopted, which were. il is
stated. prepared by Mr.. John Selden, object
to the confirmation of Mr.. Stevenson
They will be presented to the judiciary COM
mittee of the Senate by a special committee of
the bar association. Members of the associa-
ton declined to give out the resolutions TODAY
The president, Mr.. Worthington, said that as
a matter of courtesy to the judiciary commit
tee to whom they were addressed, he thought
it would be highly improper to publish
the resolutions before submitting them to the
committee. A member of the association told
a STAR reporter that the objections to the
nomination were mainly on the ground that
the principle involved in such nominations
is wrong. There was, however, he said. some
objection made to Mr.. Stevenson because it
was claimed. he had not been in practice for
some time, and was, as The STAR reporters in
formant phrased it, rusty"

New YORK, Feb. IA, IL a. m.-The strength
shown i'll the stock market last evening lasted
over into this morning, and first prices
were generally slightly higher, although. ex-
cepting i'll Rock Island which was up q per
cent, the changes were entirely insignificant
The activity in the market continues to
decrease, however. and the amount of business
done was considerably smaller than during the
same time i'll the past few days, only Burling-
ton, Richmond and West Point and Chicago
gas showing any real animation. The early
purchases. as usual, advanced prices slightly
but the upward tendency was soon checked
and the list was quickly brought down to
shade below the opening figures. The fuctua-
tions were confined to very narrow limits, how
ever, the most important being declines of *
in Burlington to 80, and 81 in G. C. C. and l.
The strong spot was Chicago gas. which rose q
per cent, but reacted with the remainder
There "a better feeling toward the close

AN OCEAN FREIGHT WAR.
All the Big Lines are Ready and Eager
for the Fight

New YoRK, Feb. 4.-In regard to the war
between the ocean steamship companies an
evening paper says: The first blow has
been struck by the White Star 1t is the
same with the steamship lines as it is with
the railroads. They have had an understand
ing with each other to maintain high rates, but
one of the companies has kicked in the traces
and broken the tacit agreement.
White Star official said this morning: .sOh.
yes, it is true that We have made
a cut in freight rates. This step is
taken by us in self-defence. We learned that
other lines were making cuts on the sly.
Therefore we have declared open war. You
see we could not well do otherwise under the
circumstances. Our cut is about so per cent in
west-bound rates on dry goods. No change
had been made in the east-bound rates"
The voice OF the agent in charge of the Gu
nard line office was loud for war. He intimated
in unmistakable words that the managers of his
company were prepared for it.
We are fully able to hold our own in a
struggle for public patronage" he said. s'and
no other line can Guido us in cutting rates if
we see mt to retaliate., Thus far, however, we
have made no changes in rates."
The official who spoke for Mr.. Underhill at
the Guion line headquarters in0mated that his
company preferred peace any day. but could
night pretty lively In case of war; The repre-
sentatives OF the Anchor, Inman and National
companies are also prepared for the fight.

Climbing an Ice Mountain.

THRILLING ADVENTURE AT NIAGARA.
Young Harry Hartley, of Boston had a mar
row escape from death at Niagara Falls Sun
day while climbing an ice mountain Describ-
ing his experience to a correspondent, he said
he stopped at Niagara on his way from his
brothers wedding in Chicago. He went to the
Falls on the American side. and by the instruc-
tions of guide obtained a pair of creepers
and started to climb a hill of ice formed on
some rocks. He had not been informed that
this was foolhardy undertaking. As he was
about to step on the summit of the hill he lost
his foothold, and, slipping down an icy descent
of about 40 feet, plunged into a sort of pool
where there was no current. The accident was
witnessed by several persons and there was
much excitement. One man obtained q long
rope, but he did not have to use it. as Mr.
Hartley succeeded in getting hold of the edge
of the ice and lifting himself out of the water
Then, by means of his creepers, he climbed to
place Of safety. The only ill effects of the
accident are some rather painful bruises on his
right side. The guides at the Falls, he saws
told him that sightseer some time ago lost
his life by q similar accident

Investigation of the aqueduct tunnel is still at
work upon its report, which document il ex-
poets to have completed before the close of

rived at by those gentlemen. Members of the
committee decline to yield up any very valu-
able information as to the recommendations
which will be made, but there is no doubt
whatever that The Stars statements on the
matter. previously published. are substantially
correct The committee held one lengthy ses-
sion this morning, and another one will be in
operation this afternoon.
