Special Dispatch to the Evening Star
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-This weeks tri-
umph for sound money, which would natu-
market had not all communication with out
of town connections been destroyed by
Mondays storm, was celebrated today in
Wall street by an advance in prices all
along the line. The advance may be at
tributed to the covering of short contracts
and the manipulation of room traders, but
the complete change in the financial situa-
ton and the return of confidence will soon
bring into speculative channels the neces-
sary currency to continue the rise on a
more suostan tial and legitimate basis.
1t is true that the deliberations of the
Senate may supply the bears with sufficient
working capital to bring on reactions from
time to time, hut the ultimate result can
hardly be Questi oned when the wisdom or
what has. already been done is so clearly
demonstrated by the stimulus given to bust
ness enterprises throughout the country.
The iron trade. which first felt the effects
of business depression, Immediately re-
spends to the brighter outlook, and fur
naces are opening up in all sections AFTER
long period of idleness.
Many of the suspended national banks are
daily reopcning their doors. with liberal
share of Old dapositors giving them aid and
encouragement.
With no unlocked for Interruptions the
change should extend to all classes of trade
and a period of prosperity as comprehen-
sive as the recent period of panic and de-
preston result.
The market opened strong at an advance
Of IA to 1-2 per cent and the early trading
was spirited and continuous. London was
also higher and did some business on this
side.
As usual the industriais took first place
in the advance, and scored important gains.
varying from to points.
Tabacco advanced from So to % on limited
trading. Sugar was active and gained 3
per cent to Sc. and Distillers was benefited
rs per cent to % 3-S.
In the regular list Manhattan made the
most profitable gains. advancing to 49, an
improvement of 31-2 per cent from the
opening. St Paul advanced l 1-2 per cent
to IS l-2, Burlington 3-S to 50 3-S, and Rock
Island sold up to g. gain of l per cent.
Consolidated Gas. which has lately shown
considerable strength, added points to its
position today, selling UP to III Cordage
was strong on favorable report of the re-
organization committee and sold up to %

Chicago Gas directors have decided to
pass the regular cash dividend and have
cent bearing per cent interest. The
stock advanced 31-2 per cent during the
day to 50.
AT 1:30 disposition to take profits on
earlier purchases brought on a reaction
and the decline continued throughout the
next hour. While many of the gains re-
corded at midday We're partly lost the
prices We're generally a trifle higher than

MOB HELD AT BAY.
Calling Guns Brought Out by the Chi
oago Police.
Fifteen Hundred Men Called Out to
Prevent n RiOt-Exciting Times for
Awhile at the Worlds Fair City.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-An enormous crowd
of unemployed men and women has con-
gregated on the lake front for the purpose
of holding a mass meeting.
The number of people assembled is so
much larger than expected that 500 police
men have been hurriedly placed on duty at
the park and 1000 additional men have
been summoned from distant police stations
to be in readiness in case of trouble.
The police are apprehensive of a disturb
ance and are taking every precaution to
prevent a serious outbreak.
Preparing to Fight.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30, 1901 pm.-The mob
Is throwing coupling pins. The police are
making ready to use gatling guns.
Calling guns in use directly in front of
the Auditorium was the scene imminent for
a short time today.
Coupling pins and clubs were the worst
weapons actually brought into use, how
ever and the most prominent public ground
in the city, the landing place of the world S
fair steamers, was narrowly spared spec
tacle of carnage paralleling the memorable
Haymarket riot.
During the morning crowds of unem-
plOyed and idle spectators crowded around
the Columbus monument. AS the minutes
passed the crowd grew larger and more
turbulent.
Indications of rioting began to manifest
themselves, and in addition to the number
of officers in plain clothes circulating
among the throng, Chief of Police Brennan
summoned first 500 uniformed men, and
later a round thousand.
Prior to this the only patrolmen in uni
form visible were on the street ends abut-
ting on the lake front park
Meanwhile the crowd had greatly multi
piled, impromptu speeches being made at
several points, attracting additions to the
throng.
Soon the outskirts of the great gathering
were surging across Michigan boulevard and
blocking access to the auditorium. Along
the boulevard and streets leading from that
thoroughfare traffic was suspended and a
number of teams were caught in the mass
of people from which egress. owing to the
crush, was impossible

4 Nickel i'm the Slot.

For the past two or three weeks there
have been erected in the stores of several
tobacco dealers in this city two forms of the
slot machine, from which. by dropping a
nickel in the slot, one cigar could be OBJ
tanned and in some instances more for the
Nickel according to the numbers on dice
which fell from the machine.
Detective Carter called the attention of
the district attorneys office to the matter
and there it was decided that the machines
made those holding them subject to the
gambling laws. The parties operating
them We're thereupon notified to discon-
tinue their use, and today police headauar-
ters received information that all had been
withdrawn for the present, although ii is
believed that the companies controlling
the machines will decide to make a test
case of the matter.
