MYSTERIOUS RUMoRs.
But Nobody Can Say Whether the
Trouble Is Over.


New YORK. May 5.-Wall street was del
uged with kilograms from all over the
country to-day asking il the financial crisis
is over. The replies are. for the most part,
to the effect that it is impossible to tell till
further failures develop. The names of
several large houses are being freely mem
toned as likely to cause trouble, ana there
is no use yet TO speculate on the outcome of
it all in the stock market. The best authori-
ties hold the present crisis is not made by
the banks, which have not called loans or
forced liquidation any further than to see
that their margins are properly kept up.
Their customers have been afforded every
accommodation consistent with safe bank
ing.
The present slump is believed to be SIM
ply Wall streets recognition of the general
contraction of trade. and credit is now set
ting in. The blow has only hurt thus far
where there has been inherent weakness
through oyertrading. The situation in the
street, outside certain industrials and
spectators in them, is believed to be sound.
Mysterious rumors flew all day every
where on the street. Addison Cammack'S 5
name was mentioned among tho bears, and
there were few prominent operators on The
street whose names were not connected in
some way with sensational reports. What
was James r. Keene doing over in Exchange
place? Was he loaded with Sugar? He was
reported TO be with S. Y. White, yet he gave
no sign. 1t was said he had uuloaded Sugar,
did not own dollars worth of Cordage and
was safe. he said nothing, however, ard
let the rumOrS fly.
In the United States Circuit Court to-day
Judge Wallace made an order appointing
E. f. c. Young and George Weaver Loper
receivers for the National Cordage Com
pany, in the southern district Of New YORK.
The application for receivers is based upon
the petition Of Augustus V. Il. Ellis, a
stockholder, OF Westchester County. The
same reasons as those given to Chancellor
McGill of New Jersey are stated.

LlEBER IS A PATRIOT.
The Fate of the Army Bill Still
Uncertain.

BERLIN, May 5.-Discussion on the army
bill continued in the Reichstag to-day. DR..
Leber, the well-known member of the Cen
ter, protested warmly against the accusation
by Chancellor Caprivi that he was not
patriot DR.. Lieber quoted from newspaper
reports. in which his speeches were dis
torted in a fashion that reminded him
strongly, he declared, of Bismarck's S
methods.
Caprivi again spoke. He applied himself
chiefly TO denial of the insinuatons from
Radical sources that he was damaging the
prosperity of Germany in the interest of
increased military demands. The Chan
cellor declared he hnd only the welfare Of
Germany at heart. and asserted the patriotic
members Of the Reichstag should not re-
quire the disclosure of state secret in the
presence of foreign countries.

made clever speech in support of the army
bill.
The excitement in the Reichstag surpassed
anything witnessed since the last hours be-
fore the dissolution in 1871
1t is said that division on the bill will
probably be taken on Monday, and the
Government, although it is apparently gain
ing strength, is still uncertain as to the out
come. HINES amendment to Huene's
