From Wall Street To-day,

NEW YORK, June 20, II a. m.-The stock mar
ket opened this morning with considerable &C
tivity, though this was principally due to the
renewed speculation in National lead trust, Of
which 27770 shares we're traded in in the first 80
minutes. There was, however, a well distributed
business in the stocks of the regular list, which
showed considerable weakness, and first prices
were generally from Is to Is per cent below
last nights figures, while further concessions
of slight fractions were made in the early deal
iugs. The trusts, however, were decidedly
strong, and lead, which opened up
Is at 321z. rose to "a, and sugar,
which opened up like amount at ll5%,
advanced to 1l71S. The regular list afterward
followed and almost everything was brought
up to something better than opening figures,
with st. Paul leading. There was much less
animation toward the end Of the hour, but al
IL o'clock the market was fairly active and
firm to strong at the best prices reached.

Just how many anxious ones were in the
government printing Office to-day could only
be told by one who knows the exact number of
democrats in the building. They commenced
at a. m. to talk about the discharges which
will come this evening shortly before s
O'Clock, and the conversation never tagged
throughout the entire day. Some Of the funny
ones, who may be among the ones surprised,
went around distributing gratuitous informa-
uon as to the best routes over which to

believed that the number of dismissais

THE M'DOW TRIAL.
A Verdict From the Jury Not Expected
Until Monday.

CHARLESTON, s. c., June 29.-The Mellow
trial is approaching close. The final argu,
ment for the state was delivered this morning
by Julian Mitchell. The courthouse was
crowded. Nearly every minister of the gospel
in the city, including bishop, and many lead
ing citizens were present. Mr. Mitchell closed
his argument about 2 D. m, hsing spoken
for nearly five hours. The usual charge OF
the judge will follow, and the case will be given
to the jury. 1t is not expected that verdict
will be reached before Monday, if then. The
prisoner sat through the argument to-day
leaning on his hand and resting his elbow on
the table. He has lost somewhat the bold look
he preserved during the first three or four days
of the trial, and does not look 50 clipper as he
did when the Swiss maid was giving her testi-
mony.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.


LONDON, June 29.-Advices from Paris state
that the hrst informal session of the interna-
tional conference Of delegates from Legislative
bodies in the interests of peace and interna-
tional arbitration opened this morning. The
conference IL largely attended, and although
the work OF organization Is all that can be at
tempted to-day, the interest of those on the
ground is apparent This conference grows
out Of the efforts Of . committee composed Of
members OF parliament, several Of whom Wis
tied the United States last year in behalf of the
movement. As result there IL . large delega-
ton from America, headed by Congressman
Mason, OF Chicago. Fifty members of the
house Of commons represent England, and del
egates are present from the parliaments of
Australia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Bel
GUM, and Denmark. Humanitarians have
long been anticipating this conference and at
nary peace congress from the fact that it is COM
posed entirely of legislators who not only have
influence in shaping the policy of their respec-
tive countries, but who also have voice in
making that policy.

DIR. AGNEw'S OPINION.
No Possibility Of Morris Adler's Recov-
cry, but He May Linger Some Time.


For more than an hour yesterday afternoon
DR.. Agnew and Drs. Bayne, McBlair, J. Ford
Thompson, Behrend and Wagner were in con-
sultation over the case Of Morris Adler. DR..
Agnew made . careful examination Of the
wound and Of the patient and when that was
concluded the six surgeons went up into the
front parlor Of the floor above the sick-room
and discussed the case thoroughly. Every
phase OF 1t was touched upon, and when the
consultation ended DR.. Agnew said to . srAR
reporter:
"This is not case for any operative inter-
ference. After full consultation and an ex-
animation Of the patient / agree with the
course OF treatment that has been adopted
think the ball has done all the mischief Ii can
do, and Its extraction is a matter of no i'm
portance. Adler's case is not hopeless; no case
is hopeless while the patient ives. Yet see
notnlng on which to base a possibility Of re-
covery. The days Of miracles are generally
conceded to be past, and it seems to me that
nothing short of miracle can put the young
man on his feet do not feel as though /
could foretell the number Of his days; he may
linger on for some time"
eRATIFrED WITH DIR. AaNKw's APPROVAL.
The result Of the consultation with DR.. Ag-
new was simply to confirm the diagnosis and
~SosAucus VI tue case Dy tne amending physl-
clans. One Of these said to STAR reporter to-
day: while feeling entirely confident that the
course which had been adopted was q proper
one, we feel highly gratified that our treatment
met with the entire approval of 30 eminent an
authority as DR.. Agnew."
NO NEW FEATURES IN THE CASE TO-DAY.
Te changes which have taken place in
Morris Adler's condition since yesterday even
ing were not material, and the case is without
new features. Drs. Bayne, McBlair and Wagner
were In consultation this morning. Dr. J. Ford
thompson was not present; he only calls
three times a week The examination and con-
sultation revealed nothing of especial interest
Adlers temperature was l01 $40, trife lower
than it was yesterday morning. His
respiration was SO and trihe
easier than II has been for three or four days.
The pulse has been high and weak, running
generally at about 100. The wound still sup
purates freely, and there are no symptoms Of
any immediate danger from pyemia. Adler's
appetite keeps up remarkably well, and
although his diet would be light for healthy
man, still there is more of it than any one
would suppose Adler capable of getting away
with while in his present condition. Hope has
never deserted the poor paralytic and is as
strong IN his senseless breast to-day az it ever
was. The wounded mans confidence in his ul-
Innate recovery is wonderful.
