DULLNEss AND UNCERTAINTY.
There Is General Uneasiness in all
Securities.


New YORK, March 9.-There was n
further diminution in the volume of bust
ness at the Stock Exchange to-day. The
dizziness is attributable almost entirely to
the uncertainty in regard to the probable
action Of Secretary Carlisle in reference TO
the finances of the Government The only
important fluctuations of the day, outside
OF New England stocks. were in the indus
trial groups, which were heavy in conse-
qnence of liquidations. Government bonds
were steady, and petroleum dull and fea-
tureless.
A morning paper says: There IS STA
100000 in gold certificates ont, and of tbis
only S200o0,000. according to treasury ex-
perts, Is In actual circulation. The rest is
boarded.
According to reports of the national banks
they hold S73,0OO,OO0 in gold certificates.
Statistics are not furnished by State banks.
out IT Is fair estimate that they hold SCI
100000. The accum ulatiOn OF bills by some
bankers represents many large special ac-
counts" by individuals. Any financier may
make collection of gold notes, and de-
post them for safety with his bankers, in
which ease no particulars are furnished in
the reports and the amounts are included in
the gold totals of the bank statements. The
Sio0. 100000 In gold reserve, which is thought
by some to be imperlled, may be called on
any day by the holders of United States
notes or 'greenbacks," Of which the limit of
issue Is S34S, 100000. On this basis of the
proportion OF paper money OF this sort to
gold the Iatio of the United States Is 1884
per cent. Recent reports Of the Bank of
France show a percentage of 1886. Re-
ports of the Bank of England show a per-
centage OF 60.4S. The Bank of Germany,
whence no exact reports are available. show
an estimated percentage of 1881.
The Posts London special saws: Fur-
Their lpqqigles have been m ade in behalf of
President Cleveland concerning the readi-
ness Of the English banks, Insurance and
1nahelal houses to take S40,0C0.0 600 worth Of
GoVernment bonds, provided the bonds are
kept here without realization nine months.
The feeling on the Whole Is favorable IL
interest at 3ls per cent is secured. Holders
Of e0nsols would readily turn out these in
exchange for American Government securi-
ties at higher interest. Accordingly con-
sQis further declined yesterday. The mar.
ket for American stocks refuses 10 continue
TO rise. however, because of the belief that
no measure to secure o stable currency in
America will be effective except the stop
pages Of silver purchases.
LONDON. March y-The news that Presi-
dent Cleveland has abandoned the idea of
a special session of Congress caused disar
ointment here. 1t was hoped he would
change the situation as with a harleauin's
wand Immediately on assuming Office. A
gold fit succeeded, and the tone of the mar
kets to-day was dun and uncertain.

FRACTURED HIS SKULL.
A Timer Seriously Injuries Dis
charged EmpIoVe.


Charles Lidworth. young timer living
at 20 aunt street, was struck over the head
and probably fatally injured by his former
employer. James Gilfoyle, during a quarrel
last night.
Gilfoyle is a timer and rnofer at 1161
Howard street. and yesterday discharged
Lidwortb, who had been in his employ sew
eral years, but neglected to pay him the
wages due.
Lidworth asserts he went to his en-
ployer's shop to demand the money last
night when the latter refused to pay, him
and ordered him out of the place.
a quarrel ensued, when Gilfoyle suddenly
grasped a heavy iron rasp and struck him
over the head, knocking him down.
The police were notified. and the injured
man was taken to the Receiving Hospital.
DR.. Somers found that Lidworth's skull
had been fractured by the blow, and that
his injury may prove fatal. The surgeons
performed the delicate operation of ire
phlning the broken bones, and Lidworth
retained consciousness during the opera
tl0n. Friends insisted on removing him 10
his home in hack.
Gllfoyle was later arrested and booked
at the southern Station on a charge Of u.s.
sault with deadly weapon.
GIlf0yle denies his victims version of the
trouble, and asserts that Lidworth became
drunk and abusive about the shop. During
The quarrel which followed be says Lid

with the raSp in sslf-detense.

the card quietly and listened 10 the runner.
There are fine meals to be had on the
Weber and that for a mere song, too.
Everything a man could ask for can be
given him nicely cooked and neatly served
up and then there is band of high priced
musicians which play all the way up to
Stockton and back"
Still the victim was silent but listening
raptly. The runner began to feel sure OF
his prey.
'The staterooms on board that boat, sir.
are large and airy and tastefulv fixed up.
Special care has been exercised 10 provide
everything that might conduce TO the oc-
cupants comfort. The beds are clean and
the linen is changed every day. Step oyer

first sight here to have been castoffs
Of some English tramway were
taken hot from the rolling mills to
the point of shipment for Honolulu.
They are the style of rails adopted
few years ago in Boston as offer
ing the least obstruction to general
traffic, and the same as are univer-
sally i'll use ON some of the finest
street car lines of Australia. AS
to the sweeping condemnation
by comparison with the street
car systems of other cities, which
our local contemporaries have utter
| ed, we have no hesitation in declar-
ing that it is altogether unjust. In
point of regularity of running the
| Honolulu cars bear comparison with
the best, at least of few years ago,
in cities OF five or six times the popu-
lation abroad. When the distance
| between the switches is considered,
the regularity is highly commend
able. If the editors Of our contem-
poraries desire to test this, let them
set their watches back minute or
two and see, in any ten trips they
try to catch car, how often they
will be left on the schedule time.
One minute tardy would certainly
lose them seven trips out of ten, and
two minutes they would hardly
secure one car ride in week. There
is less running off the track than
the average OF street car traffic. The
cars are in as good condition as
those of the minor routes in great
cities, which are the only ones that
should be compared with ours. II
should be remembered that we have
only had our street car system com
pleted four years ago, and 1t took
long while to gain the patronage o
a large class that owned its own car
riages. Even now the cars run ligh
the greater part of the day, espe
cially the intermediate local cars
