Stocks Show Some Activity in the Morning.
but Afterward Lose 1t.
NEW YORK, April 4.-The stock market
opened this morning with something more
than the activity of last evening" but without
the strength which marked yesterdays late
transactions. First prices were generally
higher and sugar was up ", but in the early
trading there was no real strength displayed
outside Of Manhattan and Chicago gas.
and the advances in these we're only fractional,
the former rising q to 108L. On the other
hand, the height to which Heading had been
suddenly raised brought in realizing sales, and
from 50 it retired to 81, while the rest of
the list generally went back TO opening fig
ures. Late in the hour, however, the entire
market developed both strength and activity
and Chicago gas and then grangers led mate
rial upward movement. Chicago gas crossing
AZ from 45s4, while Rock Island was most prom
inent among the others. The general list, how
ever, was neglected, as usual, and at IL clock
the market was quiet and firm at or near the
best prices reached.
Money has been easy at per cent. The
stock market failed to display the same ANNA
ton after II o'clock, and while firm tone pre-
vailed the further gains were small in
the extreme. Rock Island and st. Paul
were leaders in activity and the former was
specially strong at first, but later retired
slightly while the more important movements
were in the specialties. There was a slight re-
cession in the final trading and the close was
quiet, but rather heavy, generally at small frac-
tons better than the opening prices.

Senator Henderson, president pro tenn. Of the
Senate, is in the city preparing for the opening
OF the investigation Of public printing. Just

ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved by the Senate (the House Of Repre-
sentatives concurring therein), That the COM
mittee on public printing, with three members
of the present Congress who are reelected to
the next Congress, to be appointed by the
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives, or

tee, are hereby instructed to examine
into the numbers printed Of the various
documents, reports, bills and other papers
published by order of Congress or Of either
House thereof, and of the Congressional Record,
and to report bill in December next, making
such reductions in the numbers and cost OF
printing and such changes and reduction in
the distribution of said publications as they
may deem expedient, with a report giving
their reasons therefor, and that the said COM
mittee is also instructed to investigate the
printing and binding for the executive
departments executed at the government
printing Office and at the branch printing
Offices and binderies in the various departments
and report bill in December next, making
such reductions in expenses and imposing such
checks as they may deem expedient, with a re-
port giving their reasons therefor: and said
committee is further instructed to make any
other investigation calculated in their opinion
to reduce the cost Of the public printing and re-
port the result thereof; and the said committee
Is hereby authorized to employ stenographer,
TO summon and examine experts and witnesses,
and to call upon the heads Of executive depart
naents and the public printer for such informa-
ton regarding the preceding matters as they
may desire; and any expenses necessarily
incurred in making the investigations aforesaid
shall be betrayed from the contingent fund of

Attached to the limited express. which rolled

car. In the car was the fnancier, his son
George and . few other individuals, whose
identity has not yet been officially disclosed.
Quite . number Of people were very snx-
ious TO inspect the interior Of the car
and many would probably have been pleased
at an opportunity to converse with the wizard
OF Wall street. but only few of the elect we're
permitted to pass the iron barriers which the
Pennsylvania railroad authorities Considerably
erected to protect their trains from the curious

Mr.. Gould spent . couple Of hours this
morning at the Post Office Department He
was accompanied by his son George, and he
was at once closeted with Postmaster General
Wanamaker. This was the first time Mr. Wanna
maker and Mr.. Gould have had q chance to
talk with each other face to face for any length
OF time. Some weeks ago when he was
on his way south he saw Mr.. Wanamaker
FOR q short time at the depot With this ex-
ception their communications have been
through letters: There are several subjects
In regard to which these gentlemen have very
decided opinions, which are not altogether in
harmony. The postal telegraph is one of
these. but the object Of the conference was
not TO discuss that matter. Telegraph tolls
was the principal theme of the talk.
Mr.: Wanamaker fixed the schedule of rates
which the government should pay the Western
Union for the telegraph service. The Western
Union refused to accept these rates, but con-
tinued to perform the service. The conse-
quence is that the government has paid moth
ing for its use of the telegraph since that time,
and the amount now due the company
has reached large proportions. Mr..
Gould talked the matter over with
MIR. Wanamaker today, but no definite
conclusion was reached. He also discussed the
patent subsidy bill, in which he is interested
because of his Pacific line of steamers and also
spoke Of the mail service on the Pacific roads.

Representatives of the Canada Government
and Secretary Blaine.
ToRoNTo, ONT, April A special from Of
tawa to the Empire says: Sir Charles Upper is
expected here this morning, his visit to WASH
ington having led to the postponement of his
departure for England for few days. He will
confer with the premier during the day and
this afternoon Sir Charles, Sir john Thompson
and Hon. G. Z. Foster will leave for Wash
ington.
On Monday, in company with Sir Julian
Pauncefote, they will meet Mr.. Blaine, the
United States Secretary Of State, and discuss
with him the question of trade relations be-
tween the two countries. 1t is understood
that the communications which the government
has had SO far with the United States authorities
has been Of the friendliest character. The
meeting on Monday will, of course, be infor-
NAL, the desire being to ascertain whether a
basis can be reached for formal treaty negotia-
tons. In that event. it is to be presumed, the
imperial government would appoint plenipo-
tentiaries, as in the case of the Washington
treaty Of 1888. Sir Charles Upper will likely
sail for England at the end of next week.

THE TENNIS ASSOCIATION.
A Special Meeting Called 1t the Request q
Five Clubs

Mr.. Charles 8. McCawley, the president Of
the Southern Lawn Tennis Association, has re-
ceived q request signed by Ave tennis clubs Of
this city, members OF the association. that .
special meeting of the association be held on or
before April IL at the Columbia Athletic Club
The reason set forth for calling the special
meeting is that the clubs have become
aware ''of certain irregular and unauthorized
representation Of the New Jersey Avenue Tennis
Club at the said meeting" The call il signed
by the following clubs: Columbia Athletic
Club, Bachelor Club, New Jersey Avenue Club,
Racquet Club and the Capital Club. Today
President McCawley instructed the secretary,
Mr.. h. W. Sponord, to issue . call for this
special meeting.
TALK WITH Mr.. BORDEN.
Mr.. Thos p. Borden, who attended the nrst
meeting as the representative of the Capital
and Bachelor clubs told STAR reporter today
that the object in calling the special meeting
was to correct certain proceedings at the last
meeting which made the entire action Of that
meeting illegal He said that while at this
meeting no proxies were called for, yet it had
been established since the meeting that all the
clubs in this city taking part had been repre-
sented by fully accredited delegates, with the
exception Of the New Jersey Avenue Club. The
secretary, and as the votes without his stood
to 4, this vote was the deciding one in all
action that WAS taken at the meeting. In view
OF this circumstance Mr.. Borden said that the
Bachelor Club, which he represented, thought
1t best to call another meeting. In the opinion
of Mr.. Borden the clubs at the special meeting
will make no change in the place for holding
the next tournament and 1t will be held at
Wilmington.
MR.. sPoFFoRD WILL RESIGN.
In talking with . star reporter today Mr.
Spofford said:
after q consultation with Mr.. McCawley,
president of the association, and in view of the
criticism passed upon the meeting of the asso-
citation held last week, both the president and
secretary will resign. 1t is only proper to state
in this connection that the secretary did not
usurp any authority any more than any other
delegate present at the meeting There
was Q determined effort made to pre-
vent the next tournament being field
to them so far az the executive committee Of
last year was concerned, of which Mr.. Ward Of
the New Jersey Avenue Club was q member.
At the meeting last week proxies were not
asked for and none were presented The
secretary cast the vote Of the New Jer-
sey Avenue Club, and other delegates
out proxy. As the interests of tennis in
Washington and in the association can best
be subseryed by q new order of things, and as
the later tennis element in Washington seems
to feel greatly aggrieved over the results Of the
recent meeting. those attending the meeting
next week will have an opportunity to fill the
McCawley and myself. So far as understand
the matter there will be no change made in
regard to holding the next tournament in
Wilmington"
