Reason Given for the Recent Strength
of the Market.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Today's market
opened fractionally lower than last nights
closing and continued to sell off during the
first half hour. London was also under
our closing and did little on this side. The
reaction did not run far and prices rallied
sharply. recovering all the early losses.
The almost phenomenal strength of the
market since the close of last week is still
attributed to the covering of short con-
tracts. and for the simple reason that no
evidences of more substantial grounds are
al hand. While operators are encouraged
by the fact that some of the highest
prices ever recorded in Wall street We're
the result primarily of a bear panic. there
are also records of disaster caused by pre-
maturely bidding up prices.
The rumor circulated early in the day
that clearing house certificates amount
ing TO half million dollars would be re-
deemed was the signal for sharp rally
in prices.
The hanks generally do not favor such
redemption until after the Senate's vote on
the silver bill They may be forced to do
so. however. should the money rate con-
tinue to decrease so as to reach per cent
at which rate they would be no longer
profitable. as the banks themselves are pay
ing a similar rate for the use of the money.
The loan committee announced al the
close of the session that SD0010 certifica ties
had been cancelled and s235 90 additional
applied for. making actual redemption
S-bO,bH-
RumOrs that the dividend st. Paul
would be passed next month depressed the
price of that stock 1-2 per cent.
The regular dividend OF 3 per cent on
Suar. common, and l 81 per cent on the
preferred, has been recommended by the
executive committee and had a good effect
on the price of both stocks, the common
naturally profiting most.
Advices from Terrc Haute, Ind, an

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
No Change in the Situation Gan Be
Ascertained
The Silver Victory of Yesterday I'm
fmpOrtant-Repeal Men Not Likely
to Wait Twenty Days.

The little victory gained by the silver
men In getting an adjournment yesterday,
and some OF their maneuvers today, to-
sether with the abandonment by Mr.. Voor-
hees OF the proposition to have the Senate
meet at IL O'Clock, has excited some little
talk Of recuperation on the part of the
silver forces in the Senate but there is, how
ever. very little Importance attached to
these things by those who are familiar
with the situation. The best informed men
IN the Senate. some on both sides Of the
question, say that there has been no change
In the situation. and no indication of any
gain In strength on the part Of the silver
men. They regard the passage Of the re-
peal bill as certain, but it may be sOme-
what SLOW
the adjournment last night. and the action
OF Mr. Voorhees, in aban ioning the IL
O. CLOCK meeting Is regarded as no indica-
o,on OF weakness There is a demand
among the Senators who will vote for re-
peal or who not being willing to vote for
repeal Will not join in any .ilibuster, that
no attempt be made to curtail the d.bate
SO SO long as 1t is in good faith AMI proper.
Ihese gentlemen think that an attempt
SO early as this to put on the screws would
furnish just cause Of complaint to the
sHVer men and would really cause more
trouble and delay than would a more con-
serVative course. Mr.. Morgan in his speech
tooay suggested casually that 70 days Of
discussion would not be unreasona able
Inc chances are that the repeal men
VIII not be willing to wait as long as that
before resorting to more rigorous means of
forcing a vote. but for the time being they
WIN let the matter run on believing that
1 1nls VIII facilitate the passage of the bill.
Inc Morgan proposition for a joint COM
mission of the House and Senate to con-
slider the financial question after this bill
favorably received.

HOUSE RULES.
A Compromise Effected aud the 100
Quorum Dropped.

Quorum Dropped.
After three days recess the democratic
managers of the House succeeded today in
getting most of their people here and bring
ing the party together unitedly to adopt
the rules. There has been considerable dis
cussion over the subject among democrats
during the three days recess, and a meas
ure of compromise entered into the settle
ment of the question. After squabbling all
along the line a great deal the opponents
of the committee on ruies finally settled
their opposition down to the question of a
hundred quorum of the committee of the
whole House.
The committee on rules Incorporated the
one hundred quorum for the committee of
the whole in their report because they be-
lieved IL would facilitate business in the
committee and be a desirable thing. But
il was not matter to which they were
greatly welded and to avoid further fric-
ton they decided not to press il. This
morning on the meeting of the House ar
Catchings announced that the committee
were willing to accept the amendment un-
der consideration striking out the one hun
dred quorum rule.
This was followed by a few brief party
speeches calculated to draw more closely
the lines OF separation between the two par
ties in the House and the consideration of
the rules then proceeded with some acceler-
alton. 1t is expected that the code of rules
will be adopted before the close of today's
session. and after that the House will go
on with other business. 1t was desired that
the committee OF which Mr. Fitch is chair
man, should bring in at once a bill to re-
peal the federal election law But Mr.
Fitch has not been here TO get his commit
tee together. and therefore that matter is
delayed.

Reversing the Usual Order of Things
I'm Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Sept. 6.-Express train
No. l on the Frisco. westbound was flag
gei with red light last night about forty
miles west of ST. Louis. The train stopped
and two men held the engine crew at bay
while a third went to the express and
demanded admittance. The messenger re-
fused to open the door.
The command then came from one Of the
engine guards to blow her open"
This demand was almost instantly fol-
lowed by deafening report, and the wood-
work of the car was wrecked. Then the
three highwaymen joined forces and tried
to enter the car, but were impeded by the
wreckage. The conductor and a brake keman
rushed up to the robbers with pistoIs
drawn. and commanded them to surrender.
The robbers answered with a poorly direct
ed fusillade. which the two brave trainmen
gave back with interest.
Such unexpected resistance unnerved the
robbers and two of them took to their heels
The third was overpowered and made pris-
oner. So far as known no one was hurt
The scene of the affair was at Sand
