Col Geo. Truesdell said he had called to hear
what the opponents to the straight extension of
Connecticut avenue had to offer. He was
strongly in favor Of the straight extension.
Capt. A. H. Nixon said he thought after mao
pie had improved their property their interests
should be considered. The straight extension
was costly one, and he was in favor of the d.
verg1ng plan, which was very much cheaper
and less Objectionable.
Capt. Powell said that tho diverginr plan
was also opposed and it was impossible 10
get plan that was entirely understandable
1t was true, however, that the diverginR plan
was the cheaper.
Mr.. J. C. Winner read an extensive argumen,

TO HARRAss MR.. GLADSTONE.

Scheme Of the Unionist Leaders to Demon
alize the Home Rulers.
The British unionist leaders, Mr.. Balfour,
Mr.. Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill,
Sir Henry James and Mr.. Goschen, have de-
cided upon obstruction to the home rule bill in
a new form. They are preparing to hold back
the government business by obstructing the
work on the estimates.
The home rule bill will be got through the
house Of commons about August 81 Under
ordinary circumstances fortnight more would
wind up the business of the session.
The game Of the unionists Us, no wever, to pro-
tract the session, despite heat and exhaustion,
for weeks aftet the house Of lords shall have re-
jected the bill.
They intend to accomplish their purpose BY
means of endless motions and divisions on the
financial votes, They hope thus to reduce the
government majority to the minimum and
eventually to drive the ministry to u premature
dissolution by their prolonged brawling and
bullying.
The dissolution is now the goal Of the unionists
effort. for the unionst leaders are confident
that another appeal to the public would result
in liberal defeat. They say that Mr.. Glad
stones repeated concessions to the Irish have
alienated from him thousands OF unionist elect
ors.
To their minds any means to hasten the ap-
proach Of the next general elections are justi-
fed.

PROSPECTS GROW BRIGHTER.

Gold Continues to Come in and the Rate of
Money Declines.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Today's market opened
at fractional declines from Saturdays closing
and was dull and featureless. Advantage was
soon taken Of these conditions by operators on
the short side and stocks were sold down sufi-
GENTLY low to make covering profitable.
Advices from Kansas City indicate that fnan-
ca affairs in that vicinity are not as serious as
was expected, and will probably untangIe
themselves if given little time.
The bank statement has been interpreted fav-
orably and it is expected that money will con-
tinue to come from the interior now that the
controller has called for a statement as Of July
II, and banks have no further excuse for hoard
ing currency.
Gold continues to come this way in small
quantities, Else, 900 additional being reported
today. Call money was abundant, per cent
under the lega! rate.
Railroad earnings so far this month show q
fattering increase and conditions generally are
assuming prosperous air that must eventually
tell on the price Of stocks. Activity few days
ago resulted In lower prices. now dullness an
swers the same purpose and stocks are cheap
merely for want Of buyers.
Western Union was used as battering ram
to mark down prices in the early trading. and
after losing point to 77a4 seemed to have the
desired effect and found sympathy all along
the line.
Lake shore declined 1aS to 1855, Manhattan
II to 11s1s, St. Paul ~ to 5S5s. Rock Island
and Burlington sold down to Ss1s and sOSs
respectively, a net loss Of one per cent
In the industrial class Chicago Gas was
strong around SO. Sugar was dull, and sold
down to 1919, one point away from the open-
ing, and General Electric was II per cent
cheaper at 62lf than it was at opening prices.
Silver was steady, opening at 1915 and selling
up to "a on limited transactions.
Barring. Magoun 4 Co. quote sterling OK
change 4S4a485
At ESQ the market had become very narrow
and prices yielded slightly in Consequence.
In the last half hour prices rallied somewhat
from the lowest, and in some instances early
losses were entirely recovered The closing
was dull and without noteworthy incident.
