STOCKS DULL AND STEADY,
The Dealings In the Morning Marked by Con
siderable Strength.

The Dealings In the Morning Marked by Con-
siderable Strength.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The dealings in the
stock market this morning were marked by
considerable strength and activity in spots,
while the general list was dull and uninterest-
ing. The great feature OF the opening was
the drop of Al per cent in New England,
from AZ to 81, owing to the con-
tradiction Of many Of the rumors so
widely circulated Of late and the disclosure of
the contract jobbing frauds. The stock was
the most active in the market and fell away 1
per cent further to sc in the early dealings,
but then a reaction set in which carried the
stock up to 38X, at which point it became dull.
This drop affected the fest of the market to
the extent of making irregular changes from
Saturdays final figures at the opening but
could not arrest the improved feeling which
became SO prominent feature of the market
on Saturday and prices all along the
line advanced from the opening sales
except in a few cases where slight
concessions were made. From the
lowest figures SO established. however. North
ern Pacific preferred rose II to 7IJE, the COM
mon to 2S3Z: Chicago Gas IL to 46Iz. st.
Paul and others fractional amounts. These
figures were too high to be fully maintained.
however, and, after a partial reaction, the
market at IL O'Clock was comparatively quiet
at fractional advances over opening prices.
Money easy, 8 to per cent. In the stock
market, after IL o'clock, the activity was con-
fined to about half dozen stocks and the
movements in prices to small fractions
throughout the list. Laclede gas was the ONLY
one showing any life and on an increased bust
ness 1t rose ~ per cent TO 2OiI 81. Paul, Chi
cago gas and Northern Pacific preferred with
the leaders in the general list. but in neither
was there any feature. At noon the market was
dull and steady, generally at something better
than the opening prices.

TO PROTECT KANSAS FARMERS.
An Auxiliary to the Alliance Organized In
Their Belnlf


CHICAGO, Jan. IA special dispatch from
Topeka, Kan, says: 1t is understood here that
an auxiliary to the Farmers Alliance has been
organized in southwestern Kansas, the object
Of which is mutual protection from loan and
investment companies. There has been a grow
ing inclination to have something done among
alliance members TO prevent the foreclosure
OF mortgages and subsequent sale of farms on
account Of nonpayment Of interest, and this
feeling has become so intense that il has at Last
resulted in the formation of this organization.
the members Of which are bound BY oath TO 90
to the assistance of any member who is in dam
ger of losing his property through the action
Of parties holding mortgages.
Already this movement has extended over
the southwestern part Of the state, and the
members have twice signalized their readiness
10 aid a distressed brother. A case in point has
occurred in Kingston county, where an evic-
ton was made Of james G. Dooley, who had
mortgaged his farm. and, owing to the failure
Of crop, had not been able to pay his interest
for the last two years. His farm was sold
and bought in by the investment
company, who proceeded to put n
renter on the place. The Dooley family was
turned out. Theeyicsion was not interfered with,
but as soon as the sheriff went away the renter
received note telling him that 1t would not be
safe in the house thar night. The renter left.
Within an hour Dooley and his family were
back in their old quarters. Several alliance
members of the legislature when interviewed
acknowledged that such an organization
existed

another bill relating to the projection Of build
ings over the building line The bill states in

ment, such projection should be removed

JUSTICE BROWNS FIRST DECISION
The Legitimacy of a Son by Polygamous
Marriage Affirmed.

The Legitimacy of a Son by a Polygamous
Marriage Affirmed.
Justice Brown today rendered his first opin-
ion as a member of the United States Supreme
Court. He delivered two opinions, of which
the more important in the case of George
H. Cope against Janet Cope and Thomas H.
Cope, brought here on an appeal from
the supreme court of the territory
OF Utah. The question involved in this
suit is whether or not a son by polygamous
marriage has the right of inheritance from his
father, 1t being claimed that he was an illegiti-
mate child and therefore not entitled to a
share in the distribution of his fathers estate.
The court in its opinion holds that the son by
polygamous marriage did have this right, and
reverses the judgment OF the territorial court.
The court discussed the Edmunds and the
Edmunds Tucker anti-polygomy acts and says
the latter act declared legitimate all children
OF Norman parents born within less than twelve
months from its passage. The object, the court
says was to make these unfortunate children
an especial object of care and to make the pa
rents relinquish polygomy by fixing a period
until after which their offspring should be
legitimate.

AT THE CAPITOL.
Bills and Resolutions Introduced which Are
of General Interest.

Hills and Resolutions introduced which Are
of General Interest.
Senator Ingalls, this afternoon introduced q
joint resolution, which was referred TO the
| committee on military affairs, for the purpose
Of constituting the act of February IA, 1885. in
| relation to allowances for retired enlisted men
OF the ar;cv and marine corps. The resolution
provides that the word allowances" in the
act is meant to include quarters and fuel as
well as rations and clothing, and that payments
to retired enlisted men shall be made accord
ingly from the date of retirement The rea-
sons urged in support of the res
olution recite that the War Depart
ment arbitrarily decided that fuel and
quarters did not constitute part Of an enlisted
mans allowances, although in equity they
should be 80 considered, and in fact these
allowances for fuel and quarters were being
made to many hundreds Of enlisted men at the
very time when the War Departments adverse
decision was issued. 1t is urged also that in
consequence Of this decision many veterans are
obliged to suffer for want Of proper warmth
and shelter, which in effect defeats the intent
Of the original act.
NO FIRE ARMS FOR THE INDIANS.
Senator Sanders introduced bill this morn
ing to prevent the sale, gift or loan of firearms
and ammunition to the Indians. 1t makes
such act misdemeanor punishable with fine
and imprisonment. Exception Is made in the
case OF Indians who have severed their tribal
relations and adopted civilized habits of life.

Senator Power introduced bill this morning
covering the point recently stricken out of the
financial bill relating to the limiting Of the

than S50, 900 to $1,000.

nell Causes q Fight.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The scene at the meeting
Of the Tralee National Club, which by vote
of 46 to 80 refused to support Mr.. Parnell, ia
described by witness as highly exciting. One
of the speakers denounced Parnell as Ireland's
bitterest enemy. He was about to use coarser
epithets when blow in the neck from a black
thorn put him hors du combat. Upon the di-
vision each party took different sides of the
room and some who stood hesitating
were pulled and mauled in way
that threatened them with personal disloca-
ton. One poor fellow, an anti-Parnellite. was
forcibly seized and dragged by the Parnellites
into their ranks, while he shouted and struggled
to escape. Two bold anti-Parnellites made a
dash to the rescue and succeeded in carrying
of their friend to the side he wanted to be
on. But he left half his coat with the Parnell-
ties. Somebody had evidently trodden on the
tail Of it. At length, with much work on the
part of the calmer members, count was taken
with the result stated
The Daily Ners this morning says that in
view of the fact that Mr.. Dillon il liable to i'm
prisonment, his election to the Leadership of
the Irish nationals. party would be a solemn
farce. OF Mr.. Parnelf the paper says: His
offer to retire if Mr.. Gladstone will bring for
ward a big home rule measure is meaningless
because, although he admitted at the time that
the home rule bill Of 1886 was big one, he now
saws that he did not mean it."
Healy's speech at Edgerth il denounced by
both the English liberals and McCarthyites and
all unite in wishing that he would subside for
the present. Gladstone is said to be hurt ut
Healys recent assertion that he CHealy) had
avoided or declined invitations to Gladstone g
dinner table, and Morley is said to
have sent quiet hint to Mccarthy
that Healy must be called in or serious
damage may result. Liberals are drawing con-
trasts between the strong leash in which Par
nell held his followers and the apparent ina
bility of Mccarthy to exercise any control
whatever. As for Parnell, the latest reports
from Ireland indicate that he had no intention
to anything like submission to the faction in
which Healy is prominent.
