STOCKS DULL BUT FIRM.

A General Upward Movement, Best Prices
Being Retained in Some Cases.
New York. Feb. 3.-There was q steady to
firm opening in tho stock market this morning,
everything being within slight fractions of last
nights prices, and the firm tone became more
pronounced in the early dealings. moderate
business was done, which was fairly well dis
tributed among the usually active stocks
with Chicago gas. Missouri Pacific
Lake Shore and Western Union, however were
leaders in the upward movement, followed
closely by the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks.
The advances, however, were in all cases for
fractional amounts only and late in the hour
the best prices were not maintained, Chicago
gas, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific falling
below the opening prices. There was some
animation in lead trust, but its fluctuations
were insignificant.
No other feature of interest was developed in
the market and at IL O'Clock it was quiet and
again strong at fractional advances over the
opening tigures, as rule. while Lake Shore,
which displayed marked strength, was up 1E
at 1l2.
Money is easy at 2a3 per cent. The stock
market remained quiet after IL o'clock, but the
leading stocks generally attained slightly
higher figures than during the first hour,
and Michigan Central became feature,
rising 2 per cent to IS on very light
fractions followed, but there was no other
feature developed and at noon the market still
retained its firm tone notwithstanding the in
creasing dullness. while prices were generally
small fractions better than those Of the open

THE FARE TO MOUNT VERNON.

Discussion rs to Chnrtering the Washington
and Arlington Railroad.
The work today on the Speakers table
brought to the surface the bill chartering the
Washington and Arlington Railway Company,
which passed the Senate January
The bill was read and Mr.. Grout gave notice
of intention to offer several amendments. Mr..
Lee explained that the bill provided for road
to Arlington. which would there connect with
o road to Mount Vernon.
Mr. Blount suggested that an amendment be
made limiting the fare to Mount Vernon to 25
cents. Mr.. Heard held that the road under
this bill only ran to Arlington. The fare on
this line was limited to cents.
Mr.. McMillin thought Congress had no right
to fix fare for the Virginia portion Of the road.
Mr.. Bloun: said that it was well
known that this road intended to run
line to Mount Vernon and he thought
in common justice to the people the fare should
be limited to rs cents. Discussion then arose

Used to introduce an amendment.
OUGHT NOT TO CRIPPLE THE ROAD.
Mr.. Lee thought Mr.. Blount should not try
to cripple this road. The fare to Arlington
was made cents and the other connection had
nothing to do with the present bill.
An amendment proposed by Mr.. Circuit was
agreed to which limited the amount of bonds
which could be issued to 80 per cent of the
paid up stock instead OF allowing an issue of
$500, 900 of bonds.
Mr.. Blount offered his amendment, which
provided that the fare to Mount Nernon should
not exceed IS cents. Mr.. Blount explained
that projectors Of the road had hitherto been
willing to accept such limitation.
Mr.. McMillin denied the right Of Congress to
so limit the fare to Mount Vernon.
Mr.. Blounts amendment was defeated and
several minor committee amendments were
adopted.
The bill was then read q third time and
passed.

THE COMING INDIANS.

Expected TO Reach Here Tomorrow AMER
noon-when the Pow-wow VIII Be Held.
A new delegation of Sioux Indians will reach
the city tomorrow afternoon. Il will number
shout eighteen and include representatives
from the Ave Sioux agencies. These
Indians will represent the progressive
element among the Indians, as the delegation
now in the city represents to large extent tho
dissatisfied. non-progressive Indians. The lat
ter delegation was selected by Gen. Miles, the
former by direction Of the Secretary Of the In
terror, through the Indian bureau. The
purpose is to secure full representation
Of all classes of Indians at the
conference which will be held on Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock ut the Interior Depart
ment. The Secretary Of the Interior and the
commissioner Of Indian affairs are in entire
accord on this question and desire as far as
possible to get at all the facts OF the Indian
question that the red man can assist in bring
ing TO the light.
THE STAR COMMENDED.
Indian Commissioner Morgan, in speaking Of
the picture given by The Stars correspondent
at Pine Ridge of the method Of distributing
rations, said that he was glad that the matter
had been presented in so strong way by
an unprecedented observer. He had in his
last annual report called attention to the de-
moralization resulting from the custom Of re-
curing all the Indians to go to agency head
quarters to receive supplies. He had recon-
mended that stations be established where a
farmer could have his headquarters,
where there should be black
smith shop, day school and other
facilities. In order that this plan might be car
ried into effect he had recommended that Con-
gross make an additional appropriation for the
employment of farmers to be placed
in charge of such stations. Gen. Morgan
said that he seriously trusted that some
thing might be done in this direction.
Among the Indians coming with the new dele
CATION are the following White Bird, John
Grasse, Turning Hawk, Mad Bear, Robert

CABLE AND ELECTRIC CARS.
Proposed Amendments of the Police Regu
lations Regarding Speed and Warning Bells

Proposed Amendments of the Police Regu-
lations Regarding Speed and Warning Bells.
Some time ago. as printed in THE STAR, the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany, through President Hurt, wrote letter
to the Commissioners calling attention to those
provisions Of the police regulations now in
force affecting street railroads. prohibiting
noise, ringing Of bells and regulating the
speed which cars are to run. By an
act Of Congress the street car companies of the
city were permitted to change their motive
power from horse power to cable and electric
power; and by still more recent act at least
two of the companies were peremptorily re-
quired to change their motive power and adopt
either cable or electric power. Mr.. Hurt called
attention to the fact that according to the
above regulations the cars or trains propelled
by cable power could not increase their speed
beyond that of the street cars heretofore pro-
PEELED by horse power, namely, eight miles per
hour, and could not use any better means of
alarming persons in danger of be-
ing run over than that used on
street cars propelled by horse power. Mr..
the cable road on It'll street and to the essen
tial use Of gong much louder and more en-
phatic than any bell or gong that has hereto
fore been used and he submitted
Tor the consideration OF the Com
missioners that the regulation be SO modified
as not to include street cars propelled other
wise than by horse power. In his Enforcement
upon the application Capt. Rossell says that he
believes it would be we'll to modify the regula-
tions concerning the gongs, but with reference
to the request concerning speed he does not
feel SO positive. He says it seems to him that
the speed of the cable cars should be kept alb
solutely in the hands of the Commissioners,
and at certain places they should be required
to decrease their speed, and that Mt present
these cars do not run faster than eight miles an
hour, and that that speed seems sufficient Capt.
Rossell refers to the attention given to the
speed Of these cars by the Engineer Commits
sioner and his desire to recommend that in
crossing Pennsylvania avenue and perhaps one
or two other places the cable road be required
to run their cars at speed Of not more than
four miles an hour. Tho matter will be
brought before the board at its next meeting,
together with Col. Roberts memorandum, in
which he says that the police regulations should
be amended 80 rs TO require on all cable and
electric cars the striking Of q
gong at every street crossing, and
when otherwise required TO give warming, and
80 as to allow the maximum OF nine miles
per hour, except at such points % may from
time 70 time be designated by the Commission
ers. At present at the crossing Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and r street by the 7th street
cable cars he says the speed should be linn
tied TO i've miles per hour.

MICHAEL EYRAUD's CRIME.

The crime for which Michael Eyraud today
suffered death by the guillotine consisted in his
having in Paris in July, 1889, and with the
assistance of his mistress, Gabrielle Bompard,
strangled to death a notary of Paris named
Toussaint Gouffe. After the commission of the
crime the body Of the victim was conveyed in a
trunk to Millery, in the department Of the Rhone,
and deposited in a thicket, where, on August
Is. 1888. il was discovered in a state of
decomposition. In January OF the following
year Gabrielle Bompard made the confession to
the Partisan police which led to her arrest. i'm
prisonment and to the capture in Havana OF
the stranger Eynud, who was brought back to
Paris for trial The most remarkable
feature in the sensational legal proceed
ings, which eliminated in the sentencing to
death Of Eyraud and to twenty years impris-
onment at hard labor Of Gabrielle, was the I'M
successful attempt OF the counsel for the Bonn
pard woman TO prove that in the murder she
acted her part while under control of a hypnotic
influence exercised by Eyraud.

THE sANwARD CASE.
What Is Said I'm Canada Of the supreme
Courts Decision.

ToRosro, Feb. 3.-The deputy minister Of
justice for the Dominion says: The decision Of
the Supreme Court of the United States in the
case of the British schooner W. p. sayward
was what expected here, but at the same
time il has been received with great satisfac-
ton. The effect of the decision is simply to
declare that the Supreme Court Of the United
States has jurisdiction over the district court Of
Alaska to prohibi: il from assuming the juris-
diction Of the United States.
1T seems TO be now assured" he further
says, that applicants for a writ Of prohibition
will get n decision from the Supreme Court on
the merits of the case. This SHOWS that the
Canadian government has been justified in the
confidence IL has reposed in the highest Judicial
tribunal of the United States. That Il would
not allow political considerations to influence
it in the slightest where the rights of any liti-
CANT are involved. The matter will not ress
until rule nisi is retnrnable

PERILS OF THE DEEP.
Recent Experience Of the Pacific Mail
Steamer Newport.


Steamer Newport.
PANAMA, Feb. 3.-The Pacific Mail steamship
Newpor. encountered a terrific storm on her
trip from New York. She should have reached
Colon on the 18th, but did not arrive until
the following morning. About sixty miles
north of the cape and while on the
northerly edge Of the Gulf stream the
full force Of gale from the south-southeast
was met. which caused the ship to roll and toss
about in a most uncomfortable and dan
gerOus way on the heavy seas, while great
masses tumbled in over her bows and swept
her decks from stem to stern. Down through
the companionways IL went, flooding rooms
and frightening the passengers, who were
finally battened under so to speak, to insure
their greater comfort and further provide for
their safety.
HEAVY SEA.
The captains room was swept by a sea, the
door being smashed in as though it we're no
thicker than a shingle and the deck houses
were in danger Of being swept away. The sea
was 50 heavy and broke SO high that it was i'm
possible for an officer to keep his place on the
bridge. The starboard light box was smashed
and the light was put out. The forward boat
on the port side was filled with water by a
heavy sea. Another wave following struck it,
smashed the rail and bent the davits, heavy
boat away.
The barometer was falling constantly, and
the wind and sea were increasing so Capt.
Lyma concluded to head his ship to the east
ward and avoid, if possible. running through
the dangerous storm center. In this he was
successful, but hours elapsed before the
weather moderated sufficiently to allow him to
put the ship again on her course.
KEPT BELOW FOR FoRrY-EI0Hr HOURS.
The passengers were kept below for nearly
forty-eight hours. At about 8 o'clock at night
the Newport, while heading to the eastward
came near sharing the melancholy fate of the
viscaya. It was almost impossible to see
ships length ahead and when fashlight wal
seen almost dead ahead from a three-masted
schooner, which was lying hove to and
endeavoring to weather the gale. il wal
for some moments uncertain whether OF
not the crash Of collision would finish
| the work Of destruction from which the steamer
| was endeavoring to escape. The Newport re-
fused to obey her helm promptly and passed in
dangerous proximity to her unsuspectine
neighbor on that lonely ocean highway. Nc
boat could have lived in sea 80 heavy as WA
running at the time and collision would prob.
ably have resulted in the loss OF both vessel,
with all on board.
