The following Is the outlook us stated in
Henry Clews' weekly financial review. issued to-
day:
During the past week Wall street has oscil-
lated between nicely balanced influences; and
therefore though business has been fairly &C
tive, the changes in prices have not been i'm
portant.
The unsettled feeling left by the election is
assuming more definite shape and the indica-
Iions at the moment are that. VIVA tever nav be
the later effects OF the new commercial policy,
for the preseut there is no general disposition
to attach extreme Importance to this factor as
an element of current speculation
Closely related 10 this feeling stands the pro-
ceedings of the mo 1etary conference, which has
already opened its proceedings. Tho only
really CON pe.ent solutiop of the question-free
coinage under an agI cement among several of
the leading nations~-is perhaps nowhere hoped
for except among small enthusiastic minority
but there be little doubt that, If the con-
ference closes without leaving a hope that its
work may bring about valuable Ulleyiations at a
later stage, the gathering will prove to have
only served the purpose of mere distinctly re-
veallng the dangers that hang around the de-
rangenent between tue metallic MONEYS
Ii Is Impossible t. forecast the probable ac-
ton OF Congress on silver. Moreover, the sill
yer question viii be complicated with that of
increasing the bank note circulation and of re-
storing 20 the stase banks their former liberty
TO issue circulating notes. 1t is also quite I'M
certain when Congress may reach a conclusion
on these currency questions. for it will be pre-
occupied with the ali -sbsor bling tariff legisla-
ton until nigh the middle of 1894. The moral
for the moment is-to buy cautiously and for
brief turns and to be satisfied with moderate
profits.

AN ADDITIONAL COURT NEEDED.

District Attorney Cole Says That IL the Only
Way to Relieve the Crowded Dockess.
Speaking Of the crowded condition Of the
dockets Of the coourts Of the District this
morning District Attorney Cole remarked to q
reporter Of TIE STAR that, in his opinion,
only the establishment of additional courts
would remedy the evil. Now, take the
Criminal Court" said the district attorney: Il
can say, and the records will bear me out, that
during the eighteen months have been die
trict attorney there have been more cases dis
posed of than there were during the preceding
three years, yet have not been able to keep
up with the grand jury. In fact there have
been about 100 more indictments annually
found than have been able to prosecute, not
withstanding the fact that the court has been in
session from 10 to or O'Clock ten months in
the year. We should have not an
additional criminal court, but also an addi-
tional circuit court, for the docket
of the latter court ia as badly crowded
Is that Of the Criminal Court. The
passage by Congress of the Court Of Appeals
act would give us the needed relief. and trust
that TIE STAR will impress upon Congress the
imperative necessity Of at once passing that
act or some other that would bring the desired
relief

The Secretary of the Treasury today re-
ceived another report from Capt. Healy. com
handing the revenue steamer Bear, in regard
to the situation in Boring sea. 1t is dated
Unalaska, November 8. and reports his arrival
a. that port the day previous from the Seal
Islands for fuel and repairs to the boilers and
engines, which had been injured during the
recent rough weather near the islands. At
UnAiaska he found the u. s. 5. Adams, the
revenue steamer Corwin and the mail steamer
Elsie.
Capt. Healy says affairs are quiet in Boring
sea and that no vessels have yet approached
near the islands. The seals are rapidly leaving
the islands. but few remaining on st.
George. the number being insufficient to
meet the food requirements Of the natives
during the winter. Capt. Hesly says he took
four girls from eight to sixteen years old from
the islands to the Lee School at Unalaskn,
which institution is the best in that country
and is entitled to government support.

Doesn't Believe Mr.. Phelps Said It


cable dispatch from Berlin announcing
TINT the United States minister, Vim. Walter
Phelps, had excited general astonishment in
Germany by making an nLadvised speech eulo-
giving the policy and present opinions of Prince
Bismarck and BY inference condemning the
policy of the government of the German en-.
peror to which he is accredited received at
the State Department with much "astonish-
ment" as the alleged speech is said to have
caused in Germany.
Secretary Of State Foster openly expressed
incredulity as to the accuracy of the report. He
did not believe that Mr.. Phelps, who,
prior to his appointment to Ger
many, has served with credit as min
lister to Austris-ons Of the most Diff
cult diplomatic positions in Europe-had sud
denly lost his discretion and good judgment On
the contrary he preferred to believe that the
hrst reports received of Mr.. Phelps speech,
which were in every way defensible diplomati-
cally and otherwise, were correct. and that this
later report was an after thought of somebody
based upon misinformation Is to what wac really
said.
