The early business was urgent,

ever, soon yielded to the pressure
and influence of the further sales
under the rule Of Northern Pacific,
North American, st. Paul and a
few others for the account of Deck

movement was more pronounced
toward the close Of the hour, and
the Burlington dropped 3 and
the Northwestern / while Wizards
lost disadvantage, and the North
American retired l. The fiuctua-
tons among the specialties and the
low priced stocks were extremely
wide and irregular, while the en-
tire market was feverish in the ex-
treme throughout the hour. Later
Wizards again showed strength and
the list followed. The market at

under the first prices, though better
than those Of last night.

A Great Crowd View the scenes In
Wall street To-day.

NEW YORK, Nov. l2.-When the
gong sounded for the opening Of
business this morning on the stock
exchange, there wss q yell aud
rush, and pandemonium reigned.
The galleries were crowded to
their utmost CAPACITY by n class
which only visits the Street in times
of great excitement. Richly attired
ladies' pushed forward for a sight Of
struggling brokers and the most
casual observer would have seen
that it was n time or unwonted ex-
element. Tho market opened
stronger than might have been ex-
pected, and there was evidently n
hopeful view Of the situation,
despite the fact that early
London advices were not very
favorable. Trading so far has been
simply enormous, especially in VIII
lards and st. Paul. Several thou
sand shares have been sold under
the rule, completing the sales te-
gun yesterday. These were all in
Wizards and st. Paul and are be-
lieved to be for the account Of
Decker, Howell & Co. The gen.
eral market declined slightly frOm
the opening with 2 per cent drop
in the Burlington. Wizards, how
ever, were strong. 1t looks now
as IL the conditions were favorable

TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION.
A circular was issued last night TO
the stockholders Of the North Amer
lean railroad to meet this morning
TO discuss the situation. The meet
ing Is now in session. There are
rumors Of the formation of a Ger.
man syndicate TO protect the Will
ards stocks. The Bank Of North
America was creditor at the clearing
house today, and the officials state
that they are again in good shape.
A meeting Of directors is now in
session.
DEVELOPING NEW STRENGTH.
The Stock Market developed new
strength after III O'Clock, and while
money was loaning at interest,
prices rose materially. The ex-
treme feverishness OF e first hour
still continued. A better tone was
noticed all over the list. Another
advance in the latter portion OF the
hour sent the North Atneri-
can to 20s, Northern Pacific
to q and preferred to 81, al
though these prices were not held
long. Among the usually active
stocks was less animation, but the
Improvement for the hour exceeded
one per cent in many cases, st.
Paul, Atchison, Burlington and
some OF the inactive specialties be-
ing most conspicuous. The trusts
were comparatively quiet. Atnoon
the market was active and strong,
generally at the best prices Of the
morning. The decision Of the New
York clearing house to issue GER
tifcates are used in the settlement
of balances and allayed apprehen-
sions Of n hank panic, and in that
respect had a beneficial effect in
helping the recovery. Receivers
White and Slocum Of the sugar
trust, have taken possession of all
properties and affairs Of the trust,
anu have established their head
quarters at liz Wall Street. The
meeting Of the North American
Railroad Company state that the
company has but few creditors, and
that these being strong financially,
have agreed to see the company
through, and that the assets OF the
company be wholly intact.

Railroad Managers Evidently Not
Alarmed at the Prospect.

CHICAGO, August 22.-The tie up Of the
Vanderbilt lines entering Chicago is as yet
uncertain. According to leaders among the
railroad men in Chicago. it will be two
weeks at least before strike involving the
Vanderbilt lines in this city can reach here.
II it is found that the local strike is not suf-
ficient to bring the railroad company to
terms, then the general tie up may be or
dered. The leading officers of all the Van
derbilt roads entering Chicago stated that
they did not apprehend any strike and were
making no arrangements to meet one. Said
General Manager Amsden Of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern: ''There will be
time enough when the supreme council of
the United Order of Railway Employees
meets. 1t is true that Grand Master Sargent
OF the Brotherhood of Firemen, is reported
to have expressed a willingness to call his
men out, and that the Brotherhood men are
practically solid on the Lake Shore, never
theless fell no uneasiness. Even If the
firemen went out we could supply their
places. Anybody can fire an engine. Why,
in the Quincy strike woman fired an en-
gine that made schedule time. This fedora
tion Of all the railway employees is sure to
time. don't say that it was organized for
that purpose, for perhaps it wasn't. But it
will be necessary for 1t to have a strike in
order to gain position and strength. But
can't see on what grounds the Federation
can order strike at present. 1t was origi-
nally involved through the discharge Of
three members of the Switchmen's Mutual
Association who refused to take the posi-
tions vacated by the Knights of Labor. at
last accounts those men had been reinstated
by the New York Central management and
this relieved the Federation of all connection
with the strike. The Federation has no men
on the New York Central, and Mr.. Sargent
cannot say that federated labor is not recog-
nized in the West, because representatives
are always allowed to help make investiga.
tions on questions of wages and discharges.
So there is Io excuse for ordering a strike,
and don't believe it will be DONE"
''The ordering of strike on the Michigan
Central wou Id surprise me much," said Su-
perintendent r. 81. L'HOmmedieu. "As
might be expected, therefore, we have made
no preparation for one. Our men are as
well paid as on any other road on the same
division, and many of them have their homes
along the liue. ] am not certain that they
would strike If they were ordered to-"
Other prominent railroad managers ex.
press similar views.

Water Supply.

At the time Of the adoption by the Port
land Water Company Of high and low SER
vice supply for the city the twenty inch
main was set aside to supply the upper lev
els and the twenty-four inch main to feed
the reservoirs and low service. It was sup
posed that the twenty inch main would sup
ply at all times a sufficient quantity Of water
for the upper levels, but it has been found
that 1t has not at all times satisfactorily done
so, especially when any accident occurred
on the twenty inch main when there was no
provision for turning the twenty-four inch
main on TO the upper levels. while the twen-
ty inch main was being repaired las occurred
July 3rd, when plug In the twenty inch
main blew out). Accordingly the company
have ordered special castings, pipe and gates
and are about to introduce at Litby's Cor
ner cross.overs from the twenty inch main
to the twenty-four inch, also from the twen-
ty-four inch to the twenty inch.
The effect Of this will be to enable the com
pany to put in the twenty-four inch main on
to the high service. instead Of the twenty
inch. as heretofore. The capacity Of the
twenty-four inch main is nearly 100000
gallons. while the twenty inch main Is less
than 100000 gallons. Thus 1t will be seen
that by changing from the twenty to the
twenty-four that some 100000 more gallons
Of water will be turned into the high service
than is now furnished by the twenty inch
main. With this cross-over put In, the COM
pany feel that they will have then perfected
the high and low service supply. 1t is ex-
pected this win BIZ in operation about octe-
Der 18th.

cars are allowed to go down the mountain by
gravity by way Of another route to the point

about eighteen passengers was taken from
the station to the top Of the mountain. This
consumed about thirty minutes. On top Of
the mountain there is high tower where the
passengers were allowed to alight to enjoy
the scenery for thirty miles around.
There are different stories as to the cause

tower was reached. the point where the
gravity portion Of the road commences, the
engine was detached. when the car ran
away while the passengers were still on

WAR AT ANY TIM G.
Another Cloud In the Political Sky
of Central America.

NEW YORK. August 22.-A San Salvador
special in the Herald says: The PROPOSE
tions for peace made by the diplomatic
corps to Provisional President Ezeta imply
the abandonment of the autonomy and inde-
pendence of Salvador. 1t is affirmed here
that those propositions were suggested by
President Barrillas Of Guatemala. Naturally
there is much displeasure manifested in
political circles. Hostilities, which have
been suspended up to this time, are liable to
be resumed at any time, as President Ezeta
has declared that he will not submit to the
dictation of President Barrillas, and 1t is
currently reported that be has definitely
decided to reject the proposed treaty.
President Ezeta was asked to give an idea of
the demands made by President Barrillas,
and he said that the protocol, as submitted
by Guatemala, demanded that Vice Presi-
dent Ayala assume the executive power and
arrange for the election of a President.
President EZeta added: 1.-THE proposition to
place the late Vice President, DIR. Ayala, in
the Presidential chair, Is preposterous on
the very face of il. Not that would care If
any other man who pleased the people of
Salvador should replace me as President of
this republic; but Ayala is a traitor to his
country and is recognized as such by his
compatriots for having allied himself to the
Honduras troops, in order TO attack his fell
low countrymen on his native soil. / most
