SPECULATIVE.
Money on Call Suddenly Advances, and
Causes Some Little Anxiety.
The Speculative Market Opened With Better
Tone-The sugar Trust-The Days
Important Deals.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The sudden ad-
vance in rates for call money to 20 per
cent. during the last hour yesterday
caused an alarm which the course of
events to-day will not allay. Some of the
street g conservative bankers aver that
the situation is likely to grow worse
rather than better, in the immediate
future. Rates to-day we're at Z to 10.
By Q O'Clock the statement was made
that the advance was a move on the
part of a strong clique, of which
Gould and Sage are said to be
members. Gould was down town
to-day, and in several offices on the
street. Shortly after his quiet visit to
several of the prominent brokers 1t was
noticed that they became loaners of
money at 8 per cent. The present
situation is explained, however, as the
legitimate effect of the drain upon New
York by calls from the interior, as well
as by exports of gold, and when such
dram occurs so early in the season it
necessarily affects the money market.
Our market opened with a better tone
this morning. St. Paul was especially
strong on London buying. London also
bought Atchison aud Louisville and
Nashville. The reported resignation of
President Celman strengthened Argen-
tine securities, and hence had good intiu-
ence on the general financial tone in
London. Prices in our market did not
hold well, and figures went
below yesterdays level. Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy was very
weak. The reason was that while other
Western shares have been knocked re-
Gently, there has been nothing doing in
Burlington and OHIO. Its drop came all
at once to-day. New England was the
most active stock but Its movement sig
nitied nothing but an attempt to scalp q
profit by the usual methods. The stock
was nearly all bought for single oper-
ators who, II he sells skilltully will real
ize q handsome profit. The rise was very
welcome to belated ones, who
bought at the top on the recent
advance and then watched the tide
as it receded from them. Bond purchasers
were more liberal. Money loaned up to
IL per cent. The street seems TO take to
the view that Receiver Gray's applica-
ton to be made defendant in the suit
began to dissolve the sugar trust organi-
cation savors of stock iobbing. This
receiver has already been thrown out Of
court by three judges of the general
term in his own suit against the trust.
In this connection IL is interesting to
note that the small clique which
knocked sugar certificates down from
So to SO yesterday, appears to
have been the only party which
was favored bv the advance in

10. The doctors prepared the following
statement on the
RESULTS OF THE AUTOPSY
for the evening papers and will by to-
night have prepared the official state
ment giving the results of the autopsy in
detail. They all agree that uncon-
seriousness was instantly produced and
death was apparently painless, notwith-
standing some slight defect in the cleo
trical apparatus which required second
contact of the current to insure death.
Extensive charming of the body ut
points in contact with the electrodes,
also minute hemorrhages, were found in
the serious membranes and in the VEN
tricles of the brain. The blood was
dark. In the longitudinal sinus, corre-
spending with the region of the contact,
the blood was carbouIzed. There was q
decided change in the consistency and
color of the brain corresponding
with the point of contact.
Destructive changes of the blood
eorpuscles were noted Immediately
after the execution. DR.. Sprady, an
eminent physician, said to a reporter:
LAS far as Kemmler was concerned the
scene was most narrowing. mean by
that
HIS CONDUCT WAS so ADMIRABLE.
''He displayed such a gentle dignity
throughout it all that 1t went straight to
the heart of every one present. When
the electric current was applied he
stiffened out under the shock.
think that consciousness was at
once lost but life was not
extinct. After the current had been ap
piled number of seconds think l my
self said Dead. Then DR.. Fell rushed
in and began TO loosen the head pieces.
There were convulsive movements of the
chest, and there was q demand that the
current be applied again. This was
done. The instant the contact was made
there was capillary conges-
ton of the face and hands,
which Is regarded as post mortem
appearance, as though you applied
a current to a dead body. A longer
current was kept on after the period
which we call
THE DEATH PERIOD.
This line of congestion gradually sank,
showing that flood was no longer pro-
PEELED to the vessels, but had settled
down to the dependent parts OF the
body, as in dead subjects. -
AS the result, SO far as t touches upon
the question of practicaOility and
ACCESSIBILITY of lnfiicting the
death penalty, DR.. Spitzka gave
the reporter permission to say
this as coming from him: 81 regard
this as by far a more dignifed execution
of law than any hanging that have ever
witnessed, but its scientific uncertainty
after so much expense and time leads me
to believe that this method will not be
adopted in other states, and that this
will be the first ind last electrical exc
cution. "a

LONDON, March I6.-Lord Ran.

see how this and his recent speech
can be construed as dislOyal to the

the charge Of disloyalty might be
never forciply urged against those
who, in spite Of every warning,
forced upon parliament a measure

obviously dealt a heavy blow to the
cause and party of the Union. He
explains that when he sent his pro-
test the commission bill was in en-
bryO, and the government contem-
plated abandoning il, or, at least,
withdrawing it il It led toprotracted
debate.
The chief objections urged by
Lord Randolph in his protest were:
In the first place, the offer Of a

nized the wisdom OF the accused in
triai by jury. In the sec
ond place 1t was unprecedented. AMI
in the third place, unwise or illegal

SHOULD NOT BE CUT DOWN.

THE Legislature made an effort to
cut down the per diem and trans
cription fees of court reporters. For
tunately the Governor declined 10
sffix his official signature TO the
measure embcdying the proposed
reduction. If the Assembly had had
time to properly digest the provision
IT probably would not have passed,
there being cogent reasons against
it,
Competent court reporters suffici-
emily expert to do official work are
not lying around loose in heaps.
They are only partly made by ap-
plieaion and practice, being mostly
born. This can easily be observed
by taking glance at them
the world over. YOU could no more
manufacture one out OF the average
slow-going, fat specimen Of the
genus homo than you could train a
Liverpool dray horse to do service
on the race course in competition
with 81. l. C.'' The competent Of
fetal court reporter is a human
greyhound. BE is mentally con-
structed for speed. He is a bundle
Of nerves, and is not generally noted
for patience. Successive daily work
in official court reporting, for one
week, would PROSTATE the strongest
among them. The fiuctuating
and constantly changing character
Of the labor, combined with |
the necessity for absolute accuracy,
causes a terrible strain upon the |
vital forces. Certainly a man should |
not be expected to do such exhaust |
ing work on small wages. Neither
would he, because he doesn't have |
to, the competent official court re-
porter being a scarce article in the
repOrtorial market.
Some consideration is due to the
long and assiduous training, incur

NEW YORK, March l5.-George
W. Johns, mate Of the British ship
Constance, was arrested today at the
instance OF Ladbooker the English
Consul Gene.al, and taken before
United States Commissioner Shields
charged with cruel and inhumau
treatment toward seaman. Thomas
Whalmley, one OF the complaining
sailors, told his story, on which the
second mate was sent to jail without
bail pending examination. The
COaStGRcs sailed from Hong Kong
on the 18th Of September. Ten days
later, when the vessel was at Anna
nilla, one OF the PHILIPPINE Islands,
Johns sent him aloft to oil the fore
mast. While doing this he acct
deRtally spilled some oil on the
forward house. For this he was at
tackled with a Delaying pm by
Johns, who struck him on the back
and face, breaking his nose.
Afterward Second Mate Lee
attacked him and two
other sailors named Burton and
knight. The latter defended him
self with knife, whereupOn Johns
drew n revolver and fired twice,
woandiDg Knight in the right
check and over the eye. Second
Mate Lee, during the melee, struck
Thomas German, another seaman,
on the arm with an AK. German
sprang overheard and his messmate,
named Griffin, followed his ex-
ample. at this Johns ordered a
boat lowered and tie men in the
water were brought back 10 the
ship. Walmsley asserts that he
afterwards received n bull
let wound in the back from Johns,
pistol.
Medical and surgical aid were de- |
sired by both Walmsley and |
knight, but the latter was sent,
after some hours. 10 the hospital at 1
Manila. Walmsley was put 10
work. The case will be given a fun /
hearing in few days.

evening, the Governor returned the
bill TO the Council, his veto being
based solely on the plea that he had
not had time to duly consider it, and
stating that it had been sent to him
on the Wednesday previous.
Councillor c. c. Richards called
attention to the urgent necessity Of
having the bill bebcme law, and
/ to the fact that the Governor had
had j. since Monday instead Of
Wednesday, and moved the appoint
ment of a committee to attend upon
His Excellency, notify him that
the Assembly would wait while he
considered tine bill, and to urge his
approval Of it. That committee did
its duty and through long hours sat
with the Governor considering and
advocating the bill. The result was
the preparation by the Governor Of a
substitute bill, containing new matter
and some provisions which the As
sembly had previously rejected,
among which was the veto power OF
mayors. a joint committee of the |
two houses had long sitting upon
the substitute, the result being an
unfavorable report upon it, which
both houses adopted. The legal
limit Of the session had been ex-
ceeded by twenty-four hours before
the Governor sent in his substitute,
which was virtually a new bill, and
it was impracticable TO continue the
session long enough to properly con-
slider and mature II.
The failure Of the city bill is a
great misfortune. True the Governor
had had it in the exact form IN which
It passed the Assembly only five
lays; but he had n printed copy Of
the bill as introduced, as many
weeks, and might easily have made
himself familiar with it, and the
amendments made to it. After the
Assembly had long waited his action
Ipon IL, a number Of amendments
,ffered by him verbally were
Idopted, and the bill so amended
'assed both houses and was engross-
d and again Sent to the Executive.
\ long wait terminated in his offer
ng the substitute. |,
The Governors course is OPEN to
he criticism Of having been vacil-
ating, dilatory, trifiisg and auto
ratio. He held the Legislature
ifty-six hours, or Whereabouts, pend {
ng his use Of the absolute veto
over, and then dismissed the dis
ppointed members, whose feelings
re better imagined than described. !
