FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The stock
market opened feverish and unsettled,
but outside Of General Electric, which
declined "a to 65A, the losses were
confined within q range of u to per
cent. The downward movement was
soon checked by the placing of buying
orders on liberal scale in many Of
the leading stocks. The fact that banks
did not find It necessary to take out
additional clearing house loan certifi-
Gates and the knowledge that the cur
rency shipments to the West had prac-
tically ceased encouraged the bulls to
assume more aggressive tactics. The
shorts were considerably alarmed and
their purchase accelerated the upward
movement. 1t was reported that Sc, OOo,-
0G0o gold had been engaged in London
for shipment TO NewYork and that the
directors Of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, at their meeting on
Friday, would raise the rates OF quar-
terly dividends from Ia TO 2 per cent
Both rumors were subsequently denied,
but nevertheless The market continued
to improve
The improvement in prices was equal
to AS in Lackawana, - in General
Electric, 3SG in American Sugar, 3 in
Missouri; Pacific, 211 in Chicago Gas and
II to- per cent. in the remainder OF the
list. Late in the afternoon there was a
reaction OF y to 4 per cent. but the
decline brought in a fresh batch OF buy
ing orders and a partial recovery en-
sued. Among specialties American TO

BITTER ADDRESSES MADE.
The Row in the Ranks Cannot Possibly
Be AmicabIy Adjusted.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-The low. in
the ranks of the Knights of Labor
continues with great bitterness today
and tonight. There are no evidences
of an amicable settlement. Bitter ad-
dresses were made by A. w Wright
and John Devlin, of the general board,
disclaiming Hayes charges.
Wright accused Hayes of having a
false system of bookkeeping, and said
if any unlawful expenditures were
made, 1t. was owing to that fact. He
intimated that Hayes had been carried
away by his. ennlity to PowderIy to
an extent OF deliberately faisifying
accounts so as to- nislead the dele
gates. Tomorrow the executive
board, it is said, will formally demand
Hayes resignation. Hayes, it is al
legged, will have documentary evidence
to back up his charge before the gen
eral assembly.
A strong effort is being made to
save the organization in order TO
make it the pivot in the proposed con-
solidation with other labor organiza-
lions. That Powderly aims to be at
the head of the analgamated orders,
there is no doubt
The important questions referred to
committees today were the amalga-
nation of all labor bodies into one
powerful organization and recommends
ing political action of organized labor.

TWAS MOST HORRIBLE.
A Tragedy That EcIipses the Worst in the
Black Hills.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. ia special to
the Bee from Deadwood, S. D., says:
One of the most horrible tragedies
known in the history of the Black
Hills, occurred at noon today in Saw
pit GuIch, two miles west. Joseph
Than, an Italian, was married a year
ago to q cousin of JOscO Tametta A
few months after his wife left him and
made her home at her Cousins. Than
today went to Tametta's house, con-
siderably under the influence of liquor,
and shortly after shots were heard
Nothing was thought of it, however,
until peddIer raped at the door, and
getting no reply, but hearing groans
from within, entered. Lying around
the room amid a terrible confusion of
broken and scattered furniture, lay
Mrs Than, shot through the mouth; ;
Tametta, with bullet in his breast,
and Mrs. Tametta with a frightfuI
cash in her forehead inflicted with an
ak, all still in death.
In the wood she'd THAI lay, gasping
for breath, with a bullet through his
head. In the midst of all this bloody
horror, Mrs. Tametta's two little child
rem were playing.
The coroner and the sheriff were i'm
mediately notified and in a few mo-
ments a crowd collected. Thai lived
only a few hours and the others were
undoubtedly killed instantly.

Marseilles, Nov. 16.-At midnight an
attempt was made to blow up the off,
cial residence of General Mathelin,
commander of the Fifteenth corps The
house is surrounded by a high wall.
into which inches for sentry boxes are
built. though owing to the late quiet
condition of affairs, no sentries occu-
pied them. Cases of dynamite were
placed in these inches; also one In the
hallway Of the house, and one in the
orderlies' room adjoining the apart
ments occupied by the general. About
midnight the last mentioned bomb ex-
ploded with fearful force, shattering
the walls, breaking every pane of glass
in the house and adjoining house, and
badly damagin the building occupied
by the girls school and the octroi or
food tax buildings, opposite the gen.
erals residence.
In fact. the force was so great that
it was felt a mile away.
The supposition is the dynamiters ex-
pected the first concussion to set off
all the other cases. Had this occurred,
there would have been great destruc-
ton of property and heavy loss of life.
As it was, nobody was hurt.
The outrage is supposed to be the
work of the street car strikers, whose
strike was defeated by the aid of SOL
diers.
A rigid investigation into the affair
is in progress.
The police have arrested forty anar-
chists, including ten foreigners.

formally opened the reichstag today.
In the opening address, the emperor
thanked the body for complying with

for the passage of bills for an increase
to make the army effective, and de-
clared the evidences of warm SYM
pathy he had lately received in vari-
Gus parts of the empire gave evidence
of the great satisfaction of the nation
that the army had obtained an organ
lization which guarantees the protec-
ton of Fatherland and for the preser-
walton of peace 1t would be the chief
duty of the present reichStag to pro-
vide the increased means made neceS-
sary by the increase of the army, and
to fix definitely the proportion OF
revenue to ibe contributed by the vari-
Gus states of the. empire. Bills to this
end would be submitted; also bills re-
lative to the taxation of tobacco and
wine and the levying of imperial
stamps.
He said commercial treaties had
been concluded with Spain, Roumania
and Servia. 1t had been found neces-
sary to raise Russian import duties to
an unusual degree, but it was hoped
the. pending negotiations. with Russia
would lead to the abrogation of these
measures. He said there had been nc
change in relations with the foreign
government, and closed with the hope
that the blessings of peace would con-
| tinue to abide with the nation.
! The speech was warmly cheered.

HAWAIIAN FORCES
Arb WILL DRILLED.

MIR. SMITH WANTS GORE.
A Deep Sentiment on the Islands
Against MonarchiaI Rule.
News from Hawaii Earnestly Awaited by
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
an Ex-Officia1 of
the Islands.

Washington, Nov. 16.-It is learned
the forces of the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii, though small, are well
organized and disciplined, and most of
them are sharpshooters. 1t is said
1900 picked men are provided with
arms in Honolulu and are enrolled in
drilled companies. They have been
trained for two months past as safe
guard against any royalist uprising in
the islands These companies are
made up df white men largely.
Eighteen rapid-fire guns are included
IN the militia equipment, the arms be-
ing Winchester rifles. This force would
be superior to what the men-of-war at
Honolulu could put on shore. But no
one seems to believe that any resist
ance will be made should the marines
actually be landed.
There is a possibility that Minister
Willis viii not be able to carry out
his programme peaceably. The res
toration of the queen and the ANAL
gamation of the provisional govern
ment with her administration makes
all interested in the movement i'll at
