NEW YORK. May %.
Considerable covering of shorts turned the
market today and there were general ad-
vances over the rally of yesterday. The
change in sentiment appears to be largely
due to a more hopeful opinion as to the
prospect of settlement of the tariff question,
the votes in the Senate on several import
ant amendments to the original bill indicat-
ing substantial unity among the party in
power and showing more of a disposition to
push the measure along. 1t may be prema-
ture to look for early removal of the I'M
certainties of legislation, but should pro-
gress become evident in this direction the
influence on sentiment might be important.
There was some talk of an approaching
compromise of the soft coal miners stike,
and it is certainly only question of time
when this factor will be removed from the
situation by concessions or a defeat of the
strikers. 1t would be rash, however, to build
up hopes of any sustained Improvement in
values while the depression in railway earn
ings continues so great. More gold was
engaged for export today and the expecta-
ton is that Saturdays shipments will be
heavy. Recent London buying, renewed to
day, was responsible for4the retreat of the
bears, but the foreign purchases cannot be
regarded as more than speculative in the
face of sustained strength in the exchanges
on Europe and the persistent eff1ux of gold.
A resumption of the downward course of
values may not be Immediately imminent
especially if favorable news comes to shand,
but the market remains purely professional,
and with the removal of the support fur
nished by an extensive short interest, we
are inclined to look for an early reaction.

AS SEEN FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Voter Put in Hole The " Whyness
Of the Which.

From the Daily News
think it unfortunate for r. Bird
sey, candidate for councilman in this
ward, that the article contained in
yesterdays issueof your paper waspub-
lished.
The writer makes an effort to show
that all those opposed to Mr.. Birdsey
have s'some dark and deep laid
scheme or plot" He thinks that as
the Office of councilman carries no sal
airy, there must be some evil motive in
opposing Mr.. Birdsey.
1t is well known that Mr.. Birdsey
has, for long time past, been solicit
ing the support of voters in the COM
ing race, through his friends. 1t is
also fact that his alleged ''nomina-
tion" was brought about through a
we.l-devised plan of 'fixing things"
in advance. Now the office of coun-
Gilman is without salary. Such honor
as it carries has already been enjoyed
by Mr.. Birdsey. Why should he be so
anxious for denomination?
Mr.. Bir1sey is prominent factor in
the new gas company. He was one of
the promoters of it. aud himself and
two other councilmen, while interest
ed in the company, voted to it the city
franchise. He Is also identified with,
and was one of the promoters of the
telephone company, which likewise
received charter from the city dur
ing the past year.
In view of this think the less said
by his friends about s'deep laid
schemes the better. / am not in
formed as to what other franchise will
be applied for during the coming year,
but as a citizen of the second ward do
heartily wish that the city's affairs
may hereafter be entrusted only to
those who-ha no interest in the franz,
chises voted BY the council, and in the
contracts under which the city's mon
eys are spent.

FROM TWO POINTS or VIEW.
What is the Scramble For2 Is there a
Deeep Laid Scheme2

From the Daily News.
AS there has been some talk of run
ming an Independent candidate for al
derman in the second ward against
the nominee, A. FL. Birdsey, large
number of the voters of said ward
would like very much to know what
man it is that will allow his name
used as an independent, and if he or
any of his friends participated in the
ward meeting on the night of the 2Sth
of November at the city hall?
When an Office is to be filled, and
that, TOO, by an election, there must
be some strong reasons why man
would oppose the regular nominee, in
order to get the Office, and when large
salaries are ATTACHED to the office, the
reason of some one coming out as an
independent is apparant, but the of
flee without salary attached, like
that of councilman, for man to run
in opposition to the nominee, especial
ly when there was no battling at the
time such nomination was made, the
reasons are not appearant, and there
fore some dark and deep laid scheme
or plot must be just beneath the sur
face, and if the independent was elect
ed, then perhaps the necessity of de-
fcating the nominee would crop OUT
Knowing the voters Of ward two SO
well, we do not believe there is man
who would allow his name used in OPP
