The Stock Market Opened More Active, but
Feverish and Weak.
New YORK, July S0--The stock market at tho
opening this morning was more active, fever
ish and weak, being still narrow with
the dealings almost entirely professional.
First prices showed declines from last
evenings figures of from I. to q per cent gon-
orally and in the early trading further losses
were sustained, sufficient among the leading
shares 70 bring prices down to nearly per cent
below those OF last night, st. Paul and Union Pa

railroad stocks. special weakness was seen in
Chicago gas. however. and it declined 10 AZ Is,
against Az last evening When this result had
been accomplished the selling pressure was re-
neved and the market became less active
and rallied materially, many stocks being
brought up to aud beyond the opening prices.
The market lost its decided character in the
Late trading, and at il o'clock it was very dull
and stagnant at the rally, prices in most cases
being small fractions below those Of the
opening.
Money on call is easy at 1,Ea2 per cent.

Carnivorous Parrots.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harrer's Magazine.
The kea.or mountain parrot, of New Zealand.
a grcenish-brown bird, formerly as harmless as
others of his class. has developeda carriyorous
habit as fastidious rs that Of epicures. II used
to feed on the berries that grew luxuriantly on
the hills, but it has changed that simple diet
since tho multiplication Of sheep; perhaps fires,
too. made that natural food scarce.
1t now takes terrible revenge on its uncon-
scious enemy. Fastening itself on the back of
poor sheep, perhaps stuck i'm a snowdrift and
savagely tearing away wool. skin and flesh. il
plunges its powerful beak into the kidney fat.
which it devours. and then, leaving one VIC
tim to die in agony, goes off in search Of an
other.
Though it is as difficult to feel individual af-
lection for sheep where they are slaughtered by
millions as it would be to care for hogs IN Chi
cago, the most unsentimental shepherd can
not refrain from pitying one of his own flock
that he finds in such condition. and from in
voking maledictions on the whole race of keas.
How they found out that kidney fat was such
a delicacy can only be conjectured-perhap in
the same indirect manner in which Charles
Lambs Chinaman discovered that young roast
pig was good. A kea saw a sheep devouring
his regular supply Of food, and. defending his
property with what beak and claws he had. his
tongue came in contact accidentally with kid
ney fat From that moment the satisfaction
of appetite and the qualification of vendetta
were united.

THE MARINE BANDS PAY.
VIII Have to Go Back to the Old Rating
Congress VIII BE Appealed to.


Second Controller Gilkeson today signed .
decision in the case of the pay of the Marine
Band that is not likely to cause any especial
jubiiation at the musical end Of sth street
southeast
he has come to the conclusion that there is
no authority in law for the rerating Of the
band under which it has been paid for the past
two years, and he therefore afhrms the findings
OF the fourth auditor and orders the old rating
to be resumed
de refers 70 the act Of 1861, which provides
TOT the organization of the hand with three
classes OF musicians. with rank and pay similar
10 tnose OF sergeants, corporals and priystes
oi the ordnance corps OF the army.
line band has no reason to complain, con-
uhues the controller, inasmuch as ii has been
drawing pay on this basis for the past twenty
years, the change TO the new rating being very
T sssnu 20 ,hnt this action ON the part Of the
treasury department merely places the
musicians back where the law placed them
twenty years ago.
NO EEFuSprNa TO re ASKED.
Inc controller said to STAR reporter this
attefhoon: Il have nc present intention Of
enecA'ne against the band or taking any other
steps toward the refunding Of tho money
~ mas o.erorswn during the past two
years Tor consider that such an action would
nrrnLpose an unnecessary hardship on the men.
ihes accepted the rerating as lawful and il was
paid 70 them under what appeared to be
a legal ruling. and it was through no fault Of
tneirs mat they received more than that TO
which they are entitled by the phrasing Of the
statutes.
In my view the band is paid too little. and at
my conference with Secretary Tracy yesterday
SO expressed myself. The Secretary. " no realizes
tne TACT that could make no other ruling than
nave oone, Intends TO bring the matter to the
attentlon OF Congress at the next session with
inc view OF obtaining some sort of Legislation
that VIII the band on proper financial basiss
wish that could have seen my wsy clear TO
such construction of the law as would have
permitted me to reverse the finding of Auditor
Lynch, for nv sympathies are en-
urely with the band in this matter; but
a most thorough search of the statutes failed
to bring TO light single clause that would
serve as a basis for rerating"

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 3O.-Herreshoff has
turned out another wonder and it is safe to say
that there Is nothing under steam that for speed
can touch W. r. Hearsts new Yacht. No. 16s.
Yesterday, with only $50 pounds of steam on
just half what she can carry--she made nine
miles In twenty-seven minutes, and her builder,
as we'll as the engineers guests on board, say
that she is good for thirty or more miles an
twenty-seven miles. No. 16S was tried in Bris-
tol harbor and in the bay and showed that at
every point she is nearly perfect as can be.
She goes on the dry dock here today and then
will start for San francisco.

Liens on Imported Merchandise.

The collector Of customs at New York has
been informed that the Treasury Department
finds no good reason for departing from the
long-established practice in regard to the ac-
ceptance and enforcement of liens for freight
on merchandise entered for warehouse
and immediate expectation, which practice
excludes from the operation of section 10 of
the customs administrative act all merchandise
reaching our ports ostensibly for transit and
confines its application to merchandise in

four months for an eight-hour day the ship
carpenters have begun to return to the ship
yards and the long and desperate labor contest
is believed to be over. The men returned with

break the strike at Milwaukee as well.
