The Police Busy on Account of the
Cold Snap.


This mornings wintry weather caused an
increase in the number of poor persons ap-
pealing to the police for assistance. although
the number of callers at headquarters and
the several precincts yesterday were nu-
merous. 1t is thought that the average
number of callers at the various police sta
tons Is about twenty-five. while those who
called at headquarters yesterday numbered
about half that many. Most of those who
call and ask for assistance are women and
children. Many of them bring baskets with
them, expecting to get them filled with pro-
visions. but no provisions are kept in stock
except when they are sent by citizens to the
various stations.
Mr.. Sylvester, chief clerk of the police de-
partment. said today that he had received
a number of letters from persons asking for
assistance in the shape of shoes and house
rent.
Speaking of the charity being done, an Of
fcer told a reporter this morning that while
the applicants were numerous now, he ex-
pected that next month would bring a larger
number of them, for he said he thought one
or two cold spells would cause great
amount of suffering.
Charles Schneider, the baker, sent to the
police 400 loaves Of bread today. Yesterday
100 loaves were received from Schneider
& Berens.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The opening OF
todays stock market was irregular and
without distinctive feature beyond the
usual holiday dullness. London was a
trifle improved on early trading, but sold
off subsequently from Ia to IL per cent
below our closing. Boston came in as a
seller of Atchison, and London bought
Nashville. leaving the balance of the trad
ing to the professional element on the
floor. The market developed considerable
strength during the morning from the con-
tinual covering of short contracts, and
proved the entire absence of more substan-
tial grounds for improvement by yielding
TO every fresh attack of the bear party.
Western Union advanced rs per cent to
IS 3-S on moderate buying. Northwest de-
chned "a per cent to ~ "a on probable
decrease in earnings. Lake Shore gained
IA per cent to LA IA on limited trans
actions. Louisville and Nashville sold on
= l-S per cent on selling by the room. St.
Raui gained l per cent to IS 3-s, and Bur-
hngton gained "a to as IA
The balance of the railroad, while dull.
continued steady throughout the day.
General Electric was irregular selling
GOWN per cent to 81 "a on liquidation by
Iriends OF the company, who loaded up
with the stock on the published reports OF
renewed prosperity. and then rallying 1 "a
per cent to "a 1-2. Traders contributed to
the early decline by a liberal supply of

directly responsible for the advance later
in the day.

The market for sterling and continental

Perpignan. France, on the charge Of COM
plicity In the Lyceum Theater bomb outrage
here. and who was turned over to the
Spanish authorities here to answer the

that he made a statement Of the highest i'm
portance to the authorities.
The Judge before whom the examination
took place has demanded from the Madrid

under arrest in that city be transferred to
Barcelona.
The police have information showing that

PRAGUE, Dec. 2S-In searching the
lodgings of Dragoun and Dalezal, two Of
the men accused Of completely in the as
sassination Of Mrva. designs for bombs
and socialist pamphlet were found. Both
Dragoun and Dalezal were members of the
Omladina Society, the socialist organization
which was founded by Mrva for, as many
OF its members now claim, the sole pur-
pose of leading them into making demon
strations and then betraying them to the
authorities.
The Official Gazette, IN an article on the
recent assassination Of Mrva, whom the
young Czechs claim was an agent of the
police, says that the indirect connection
between the speeches made by young Czech
members Of the Reichsrath. and the murder
Of Mrva. condemns the party in the eyes Of
that the Bohemian people regard with an
guish the seduction OF their young men by
fanatic agitators.

THE MIANTONOMOH.

Another mysterious naval movement has
been made. The double turreted monitor
Miantonomoh. which has been fitting out at
New York for sea service. presumably in
Brazil. has been ordered to proceed at once
to Hampton Roads. She will leave New
York this evening or tomorrow.
One explanation for the change is that
her officers have the navy yard fever, and
that the vessel can be better prepared for
sea service in the Roads than at New York.
masmuch as there are better facilities for
the exercise OF her crew at the former place.
Inasmuch as the Miantonomoh is a coast
defense vessel. and was not designed for
cruising, II Is not regarded here as likely
that she will be sent so far away as Brazil
except In an extreme emergency. notwith-
