NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The opening Of
today's stock market recovered fractional
improvement over last nights closing price.
but as usual the dealings were Insignificant.
London was irregular, selling Union Pacific
on rumors of a % per cent assessment and
buying moderate amounts of Nashville.
The patriotism Of the local bankers came
to the rescue of the new bond issue last
evening and in subscribing for $4,000, 900
have guaranteed the success Of the entire
issue. Traders were inclined to favor i
general advance in prices as result of
this announcement. but beyond the slight
improvement Immediately after the opening
there was no important movement.
The quo warranto proceedings against
Chicago Gas are generally regarded as
stock-jobbing scheme. instigated by the
shorts in that property There is still some
disposition to sell on every rally, but the
movement is less aggressive than formerly
ana the principals are said to be holding off
pending the publication of certain facts
which are expected to justify their position
on rumors from Washington stating that
the 10 per cent tax would probably be de-
feated and the bonded period shortened. A
decline OF "a per cent followed these re-
ports, and the bears predict much lower
figures should they be confirmed.
Sugar continued sensitive to the manipu-
lation of traders and is easily affected by
all kinds OF gossip on the fate OF the tariff
bill. Just what steps will be taken at the
stockholders meeting next month is I'M
known, but many consider that reduc-
ton of the present dividend rate will be
made as a matter of policy.
New England was sold down l Is per
cent to IL is on operations by the room.
Fears OF an assessment are assigned by
some as the reason for the decline, while
others believe that an effort to pick up
some cheap stock for inside interests is
the real reason for the depression.
The railroad list was almost stationary,
with the exception Of the Vanderbilts, which
were noticeably stroag on a moderate buy
ing demand. The lack of interest on the
part of leading opera tors and the almost
complete absence of investment buying
have resulted in a decreased volume of
business closely approaching stagnatior.
The bond issue is expected to stimulate
moderate investment demand for the bet
ter class of dividend-paying securities, which
may result in a renewal of activity.
The annual report of earnings Of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company,
showing l0.71 per cent net, resulted in a z
PER cent rise to 1875 IL during the after
noon.
The market for sterling and continental
bills was steady without any special change
in rates There is still a moderate demand
from remitters, and bankers are inclined
to ask fun rates. Money is still In abund-
ant supply at previously quoted rates
The closing was dull irregular and with
out noteworthy incident.

THE Discomfort IN CAMP
Is Believed by Republicans to Be the
Main Cause of the Election of Mr..
QuigG.

QuigG.
The republicans in the House. and re-
publican politicians here, generally, are de-
irving great deal of satisfaction over the
election yesterday of Lemuel Z. Quigg in
the fourteenth New York congressional
district. They all recall the fact that at
the last congressional election Col. Fellows
carried this district by nearly 10000 major
ity. The republicans figure that the great
change of votes in that district is due
largely to the mistakes, they claim, this
it came into power March 4 last. and fur
Their due to the dissatisfaction of the peo-
pie over the pending Wilson tariff bill.
Notwithstanding the fact that the DEM
ocrats. especially the New York members
of Congress, assert that the election of
Quigg is due to the fact that so many men
were out of employment in that district
and the general lethargy of a great many
democrats who did not go to the polls, the
fact remains, say the republicans. that the
great change of votes in the fourteenth
New York district is, as before stated, due
to general dissatisfaction of the course the
present democratic administration has pur-
sued, and, further, because the Wilson
tariff bill is by no means satisfactory to
the people at large.
1t is more than probable, say some CT
ex-Speaker Reeds close personal friends,
that in his great speech delivered tomor-
to this fact and make IL a point in his ar
gument. 1t is not believed by Congress
men that Richard Croker, Is rumored in
some quarters today, had anything to do
with the defeat of Col. Brown, who was
Quigg's competitor.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. 31.-John Nc
Bride president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, said today to a reporter of
the Evening Dispatch that the direct cause
of the mining riots was starvation. The
miners hold the operators responsible for
that condition. Being desperate, the miners
destroyed property.
Mr.. Mcbride says the Ohio mines are
practically closed, and that the Ohio miners
must also accept wages below the scale to
meet Pittsburg rates or do without work.
He closes by rapping the knucxles of the
men who brought the non-union English
speaking miners here. because they were
supposed to be more tractable than the
native born, or English-speaking workmen,
and are now abusing the Huns because
they are desperate on account Of a lack of
work at rates necessary to keep them in
food.

Hearing This Afternoon Relative q
the Proposed Amendment.

Hearing This Afternoon Relative to
the Proposed Amendment.
The proposed amendment of the Builders
Exchange to section 10. paragraph %. Of the
building regulations was the subject Of an
interesting discussion at the District build
ing this afternoon. The amendment pro-
vides that an applicant for a permit to
erect a theater must have the consent Of
a majority OF the property holders in the
square in which it is proposed to locate the
theater only.
The regulations In force require that such
applicants must also have the consent Of
the owners and residents on the confront
ing block. This feature of the reguia ton
Is one which defeated the Albaugh Theater
project and consequently stirred up 60
much feeling.
The board Of trade was represented by a
number of members, while the property
owners in the square where IL was sought
to locate the theater were represented by
Mr.. Henry Wise Garrett. Ex-Commissioner
!. G. Hine was present in the interest of
Mr.. J. w. Albaugh.

NOT TO SUCCEED sATOLLI.
Arch bishop Ireland Gives Reasons fol
the IncOrrectness of the RumOr.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-A dispatch from St.
Paul states that Archbishop Ireland says
there is no foundation whatever for the
rumor that he is to be Satollfs successor.
The archbishop commented upon the re-
port as follows:
When Mgr. SatolH shall be recalled he
will have a successor and that successor
will come from Rome. 1t is decidedly the
policy of the pope that no bishop occupying
any see in the United States could be the
delegate to this country. The reason is
plain. The bishop himself-any bishop-may
himself have cases to be adjudicated and
no one member of the hierarchy could be
presumed to be-as a delegate should be
absolutely above all bias, personal or local
interest in the decisions which should come
from the supreme court of the church. This
is positive and final. no matter what re-
PORTS to the contrary may come"

to whom the papers were referred to pre-
pare form Of order to the marshal of the

lar description of the land, the name of the

gether with plat Of the land proposed 10

1t is asserted with considerable conf

Peckham, President Cleveland's latest
nominee for associate justice OF the Su-

Senators have not permitted any grass TO

are now perfectly satisfied, it is claimed
according to inside information, that no

At the conclusion of Mr.. Aliens remarks
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts took the
floor. He said he came to Washington at
the beginning of this Congress inspired by
a desire to support the present executive In
all lawful and honest means to preserve
the public credit, but he felt that that de-
sire should not be INDUCED at the expense
of the constitutional obligations we are
sworn to discharge. He liked to follow the
Senator from Ohio (N1r. Sherman) on finan-
cial questions, but he could not do so in
this instance.
In the contemplated issue of bonds by the
Secretary of the Treasury there is no pre-
tense of a redemption Of greenbacks and
yet that is the only purpose for which the
Secretary is authorized to issue bonds Only
S3O,OOU, 900 is necessary to restore the re-
serve fund to the normal volume of $780,
OO0OOO yet before the House committee and
in the New York conference he is reporte ed
as saying that the proceeds of the bonds are
to be expended to meet the current obliga-
tons of the country.
If no reserve fund of 800, 900 in the
treasury is there by act of Congress it has
been specifically appropriated for that
purpose; and if it was appropriated and set
apart for that purpose it could not lawfully
have been expended for any other purpose,
as appears to have been done.
II feel bound by sense of public duty
said Senator Hoar. ito declare that in my
opinion the bonds issued and sold by the
Treasury Department under existing cir
cumstances will be illegal, and will carry
no constitutional or lawful obligation en-
the government for their payment.
senator Gorman's Reply.
Senator GormantMd.) made a vigorous
speech in reply to the remarks of Senator
Hoar, charging that the present condition
of the country was due to republican legis-
lation.
Senator Hoar interrupted to inquire why
the democrats did not test the patriotism
of the republican side by introducing a
joint resolution or statute giving the
proper authority to the Secretary Of the
Treasury for the issue of these bonds, but
to this Senator German gave no direct
answer.

a Possible Motive.

1t is suggested as a motive to lead Da
Cana to aggressive an action that see
ing his cause hopeless, he might desire TO
surrender himself into the hands of the
United States authorities rather than to
Peixoto, and was trying to give Admiral
Benham provocation to capture him. 1t is
not considered that any such provocation
was given
the peremptory announcement of Com
mander Brownson Of the Detroit, after the
second shot was fired at the American mer-
chantmen, that if there was another shot
fired ne would sink the Brazilian vessel,
seems TO have effectually put a stop TO any
further advance by the insurgents.
The Admiral Called on for a Written
Report.
The only phase in the situation al Rio IS
that Secretary Herbert has called on Ad-
miTal Benham for a written report of his
trouble with Da Cana 10 be sent by mail
for use IN any complications that may arise.
II Is probable that another cable message
from Admiral Benham will reach Secretary
Herbert today; at least one is expected.

Two Men Injured.

1t developed today that an officer and a
sailor on the Detroit were injured during
the progress of the incident. but no partic-
ulars can be obtained at the Navy Depart
ment- The men were injured as a result
of their own carelessness in handling the
guns of the Detroit, and through no fault
of the insurgents. 1t is admitted that they
were not shot, and that their injuries are
not serious. But their names. the charac-
ter of their wounds and the manner Of
their infiiction are guarded as a most i'm
portant state secret.
