The Market Opens Strong and Rallies After .

Decline.
NEW YORK, April 27.-The stock market
opened strong, and frAm q to n per cent
higher than it closed on Saturday, but the
desire to realize npon the advances of
the last few days was again very
apparent, as the pressure to sell in the
early dealings resulted in the general loss
of the early advances, and in many cases
OF fractions in addition. The pressure was
most severe among the active stocks, upon
Union Pacific and Burlington, which declined
per cent and Is respectively from their open
ing figures, but sugar lost II anc most Of the
list fractional amounts.
The Wizards, Wheeling, Lake Erie and Rich
mond and West Point, with some Of the mac
tive specialties, showed considerable strength
and scored fractional gains before the in
huence OF the selling movement reached
them. but everything in the end
was brought to and below the level Of the
opening prices. The pressure was removed
market from great activity subsidized into COM
Parative quiet prices rallied and the
losses in many stocks were recovered,
while the Wizards were brought up
to the best figures Of the hour. The stubborn
resistance given the efforts for decline stimu-
lated a new demand in the latter portion of the
hour, and at IL O'Clock the market was again
active and strong, generally at small fractions
above first prices.
Money is easy at 8 and 81 per cent The
stock market continued active after IL o'clock.
but while the strong tone remained there was
no further improvement in prices. though New
England at its best showed gain of per cent
upon the opening price, and Louisville. New
Albany and Chicago. at 20. was / per cent
better than its lowest. The best prices
were well maintained. however. though the
later dealings showed considerable falling off in
activity and interest in the market. Special
feature was lacking, and at noon the market
was comparatively quiet and barely steady at
some concessions from the best prices.
Gold coin to the amount of $500, 600 has lust

DEADLOCK IN NEW YORK.
Effect of the Canal Controversy on the Fall
Campaign.

Effect Of the Canal Controversy on the Fall
Campaign.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ALBANY, April 27-The deadlock in the state
senate over the investigation Of the canals
which the republicans propose to institute and
which Gov. Hill opposes promises to bring
an issue into the state campaign which may
materially affect the November result. There
has always been strong sentiment against
the canal system in those parts of agricultural
New York remote from the canals. but Of
late years that sentiment has been dormant.
The deadlock in the senate, which has already
lasted week and bids fair to hold until the
legislature adjourns sine die on Thursday next
has, of course. focused the attention Of the
state on the canals and the anti-canal senti-
ment is being aroused.
While it is highly improbable that this senti-
ment to which the republicans are now appeal
ing Will prove strong enough to endanger the
success of the democratic state ticket, it can
readily prevent the election of a democratic
state senate, which will be one Of the objective
points of the democratic campaign this
year. The senate to be elected in November
Will serve two years and will participate in the
election OF the successor to Senator Frank His
cock In 1893. The senate now stands republi-
cans 10, democrats IL. 1t has been reasonably
certain that the democrats would gain five seats
now held by republicans, while only two of
their own districts are IN any peril, SD that
the election of seventeen democratic senator's in
November has been more than a vague hope.
1t has been something definitely to be planned
Tor. The canal agitation. however, renders it
very doubtful whether the Orange-Sullivan dis
trict can be captured from the republicans, and
with the loss of that district the hope for seven
teen democratic senator's will fall
The control Of the senate is Of prime import
ance to the republicans, as. with it in their
power. they can prevent the reapportionment
OF senate and assembly districts, which, when
made. will give the democrats control of the
state legislature and will insure the election of
two democratic United States Senators from
New York for years to come. The deadlock is
regarded by republican politicians as an I'M
looked-for windfall.

Military Movements Made by Russia Re-
garied With Suspicion.
LONDON, April IA Vienna correspondent
gives certain details in answer to the denial of
warlike preparations by Russia. Several first
class fortresses, including Warsaw and Kovno, as

resses, are being reinforced for the reception Of

ions, field stores. &c. The network Of railways

tended. All these lines are under military su-
pervision and the stations are supplied with

whose duty it is to prepare for the transforma-
ton Of the army from q peace to . war footing
in the shortest possible time in case OF smer-
gency. new army corps, the twentieth, lis being

MRS. EATON Is BETTER.
The President Will Probably Not Cut shor
His Western Trip.

His Western Trip.
CINCINNATI, April PA telegram to the
Cincinnati agent Of the Associated Press from
Cleves, Ohio, at 9 o'clock this morning gives
the cheering information that Mrs. Eaton, the
sister Of President Harrison, rested fairly
well last night and that her physician, Dr.
Hughes. while saying she is still in . critical
condition thinks her symptoms much more
favorable, with stronger hope for recovery. II
10 the physicians opinion that she may safely
be removed today to her own home. She is
entirely conscious and all her friends are much
cheered by the apparent prospect Of recovery.
The wires were thrown open early today be-
tween North Bend and San Francisco, and the
President sent the following to his sister:
"We were greatly shocked to hear Of your
accident and wait with great anxiety further
news My love and may God grant us news
more reassuring. BENZ. HARRmoN."
Miss Moore is somewhat worse.
THE PRESIDENT WAITING FOR NHws
San Francisco, April 27.-President Harrison
was furnished with copies Of the Associated
Press dispatches containing the news of the &C
cident to his sister as fast as they were re-
ceived here. When the news first came
Postmaster General Wanamaker stated that
it looked Is if the entire party
news came that Mrs. Eaton was not SO seriously
injured as at first thought the President was
greatly relieved and stated that until definite
news was received no change would be made
in his plans.
The news Of the accident to the Presidents
sister came at $50 pm, while the President
and party were conyersing in the parlor of the
hotel. 1t was in the shape Of a dispatch from
Cincinnati saying that Mrs. Eaton was mortally
injured. Mr.. Wanamake- broke the news to
the President, who was almost Frustrated,
but soon recovered his calmness and at
once set about endeavoring to obtain
particulars Of the accident and Inter news Of
his sisters condition. The telegraph Office in
the hotel was opened by the Western Union
Company and kept open all night for the Presi-
dent use, but 1t was not until 2:35 am. that
the operators succeeded in establishing COM
munication with North Bend.
At that time the operator at North Bend had
been aroused and he gave his account of the
accident as soon as he reached the office. The
President sent several messages and was much
relieved to learn that Mrs. Eaton was conscious
and resting more comfortably. Ie President
then retired without having determined
whether to continue his trip or proceed imme-
diately to North Bend. Mrs. Eaton is sixty five
years old. Her son Arch, who lives in Ell Paso,
joined the presidential party at that place and
came as far as Los Angeles.
The encouraging news regarding the condi-
ton of Mrs. Eaton has caused the announce
ment on behalf Of the President that the week 8
program would be carried out unless Mrs.
Eatons condition should grow worse.

The Russian Master OF the Horse Palms on
Plated for Solid Silver.
LONDON, April 27.-It is reported that the
Russian master Of the horse, who was recently
convicted Of serious swindle upon the car In
connection with present to the Emperor of
Germany. has committed suicide. The
swindle consisted of palming of, both
on the car and the kaiser, brass har-
ness for solid silver harness. The
car presented magnificent troyke to the
kaiser, with three Russian horses and a Rus
sian coachman. The harness was alleged TO
have cost 0,O00 roubles. and was supposed to
be solid. Lately the brass began to show itself
to the surprise and disgust Of the kaiser. The
facts reached st. Petersburg. and the car or
dered the dismissal OF the master of the horse.
who had probably pocketed the difference be.
tween the silver and the brass. The disgraced
officer, overcome with shame, and perhaps
dreading severe punishment, put an end to his
life.

Everything IL In readiness at the Bsnning
track for the spring meeting, which begins to-
morrow. AL day yesterday hundreds Of peo-
pie visited the track and watched the flyers
take the last exercise before being sent 10 the
post tomorrow.
There was great surprise at the track yes-
terday when Jimmy Mclaughlin. the champion
jockey, showed up. He comes 10 ride at the
meeting and it issafe to say he will pilot ssv-
eral horses to victory. Snapper Gar
rison also expected, and IL
he shows mp, the interest in the success of
these two jockeys promises to equal that Of
their famous struggle for the championship
here in the fall OF 1887.
HORSES IN GOOD CONDITION.
The horses are, with . few exceptions, in
arst-class condition and old horsemen predict
the best racing ever seen here. As one Of
them said to STAR reporter this morning:
You have here ready for this meeting the
best possible collection Of horses for interest
ing racing Now If such horses Salvador,
Tea Tray. Tenny and others Of that stamp we're
here, why the events would be uninteresting,
for such horses rs those could easily
ing As II is they are about evenly matched,
and look for some exciting races. The track
could not be in better condition, and fast time
10 q certainty"
Probably the fastest horses at the track are
Maidstone and Myfellow, and IL they get to-
getner In handicap race il will be a beauty.
FLYERS TAKING A REST.
Few OF the owners worked their horses this
morning. They finished ..keying up" Sunday
morning, and the flyers will now be given .
rest until they are sent 10 the post
James Rowe, the starter. is on hand, and al
though the fields promise to be large every one
has implicit confidence in him and his abilities
as a starter.
At the last moment Secretary Mcintyre has
Handicapped, and the club has entrusted this
important duty to Mr.. Thomas Draney. His
Intimate knowledge of the horses viii be q
great benefit to him in this work.
new entrance to the club house has been
completed, and connecting porch between the
club house and grand stand is q much-needed
addition.
TIME OF COMMENCEMENT.
Another good feature of this seasons racing
Is that the first race will not begin until 5
O'Clock. This not only gives people n chance
to go to the rnces without losing half dav.
but also brings the succeeding races closer to-
gether. doing away with long waits between
races.
