The Long -Wished-F'or Adjournment Of Con-

NEW YORK, March 4-The final adjourn

The opening of the m market this morning was
made with some show of animation, but it was

the line. and stagnation reigned in the whole
list, with the exception of the three leading
stocks. The strength IN sugar changed the
current of prices upward, however and gain
of " per cent in Sugar and fractions in the
otner stocks marked the early trading.
The upward movement, however was short

the dealings throughout the remainder Of the

The market closed weak at the lowest prices of
the day. The Indlstrials were better supported

The application Of U. Corrigan for bar.
room and retail liquor licenses at the cor
ner OF Commonwealth and Fifth avenues
was heard in tho Hastings Court, and
the court refused to grant the license.
This case was one of the causes of the
recent discussion Of the excise board.
When the case came before the excise
board, Mr.. Corrigan was shown to be o
suitable person to keep saloon, but
there was much objection to the place
by the citizens living in that vicinity.
The application was granted as hereto
fore stated in TIE TIMES by vote of
two to one, Mr.. Eckloff opposing the
application and Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Buckner voting for it.
The case came up yesterday morning
with the following defendants. Rev. w.
L. Schooley, j. a. Page. w. II. Rutlidge
j. l.. Kelly, j. II. Ward, Robert Wright,
a. .. Meacham, Edward Smith, G. w.
Sister, p. ID. Stevens and E. n. Moore,
the last i've of whom are tho trustees
of Lee Street Methodist Church, which
is short distance from the saloon.
Practically the same evidence was
proudccd as before the excise board.
Chief Morris appeared before tho court
and established the fact that Only two
policemen were provided for the entire
city north of the railroad.
Judge Robertson, in refusing the Ii
cense, stated that the lack of police
supervision was one of tho main reasons.
as in his opinion no barroom should be
situated in portion of the city which is
not under the constant supervision of
the police. When licenses had been
granted to other saloons in this section
of the city this lack of police supervision
had not been brought out, and no com
plants were made by neighboring citi-
zens. The court he said, was COM
PEELED to act according co evidence pro-
duced in court and not upon informa ton
acquired outside.
Upton Cugle was appointed admins
traitor of the estate of Mrs. Maggie E.
Cugle, decea ied, with William Cmgle as
security, and on motion OF the admins
traitor the following appraisers were
appointed: w. II. Bowles, Il. G. Will
Jams, Andy Belts, p. Lockett and Mr..
Betterman.

SECRETARY FOSTERS PLAN.
He Thinks He Can Float Two Per Cent.
Bond for the Government.


WASHINGTON, April Special =
Since Secretary Foster announced his
Intention to put into circulation the
millions of subsidiary coinage now in
tho Treasury, he has been busy evolving
plan to accomplish his end. At pre-
sent the coin is of no moro use co tho
government than so much lead, and he
thinks the banks will be glad to receive
the new quarter dollars, none of which
has been coined since 1878 A far more
important financial plan, however, is
also In the Secretary's mind. 1t is no.
thing less than establishing the Govern.
ment rate OF interest on bonds at 2 per
cent
While he has come to no definite con-
clusion, his plan in general is to take as
many OF the expired fifty million AIS as
are unredeemed in September. 1891,
when they become duo, and to stamp
them to draw per cent. interest for a
term OF years as an object for their own
ers to let them remain unredeemed.
Twenty-three millions of these bonds
are security for national bank circula-
ton, and the banks would, no doubt
jump at an offer which would give them
even small interest on their bonds.
The private holders, the secretary
thinks, would be equally pleased to
continue their loan at the nominal rate
While thus saving millions that would
otherwise be set aside for redemption
the governments credit would lie fixed

lie Addresses II Republican Convention on
Republican Principles.
CINCINNATI, April 2.-lSpcciall-
President Harrison has sent letter of
regret to the convention of Republican
clubs, in which he said:
81 regret that shall be unable either
to atton1 the convention or to give by
letter any extended council. Conyen-
tions of tho Republican party, and legis-
lation of the last Congress have, how
ever, very clearly defined and very cour-
ageously presented issues upon which
the next contest must be waged.
10 those convention declarations I
give the assent of deep conviction, and
to the important legislation last Con
gress my earnest support.
IF the people Of tho United States
will now give the world to understand
that protection and enlargement of our
domestic industries, the extension of
our foreign trade by reciprocal arrange
ments, not inconsistent with tho pro-
tective policy and u revival of our mer-
chant marine by methods that all other
nations use, is one settled policy we
will speedily and surely realize mar
Vicious development and removed pros
perity."
