GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December S.-RealizinS
sales at the close of the week were re-
sponsible for the lower level of values
which characterized the later dealings in
tcday's stock market. The sentiment of
the street is decidedly more hopeful than
it has been of late, and higher prices are
expected between now and the commence
ment Of the holiday season. The export
of gold by today's outgoing steamers is
rot seriously considered outside of the
pl OCCASIONAL bear clique, the increased
gold reserve resulting from the sale of
bonds being relied upon to maintain con-
fdence In the adequacy OF the supply of
that metal.
The recognized fruitlessness of further
tariff legislation and the pressure of more
urgent business will prevent the Senate's
considering such questions as would cause
apprehension among the holders of the in
dustrial issues, sugar in particular This,
at least, Is the generally accepted belief
among the usually well informed.
While Congress is in session, however, the
possibility of some unexpected and sudden
hostility will afford ample incentive for
repeating this weeks wide fluctuations. The
covering of shorts and the rather free Offer
ings of sugar in the loan crowd, coupled
with the evident desire Of the inside inter-
ests to accumulate stock on all concessions,
may encourage another Sell1ng movement
in the stock during the coming week and a
further taking of profits.
The tendency of the stock is undoubtedly
upward, but no price will be permitted to
prevail that would in any way be sug-
gestive of defiance to legislative body
forced, from press tf other business, to
assume an attitude of relative friendn-
ness toward this company. The presi-
Dental recommendation in regard to the
abrogaton of the differential duty on re-
fined sugar was so effectually rebutteo by
the figures submitted by the Secretary
of the Treasury that the sugar people are
not likely to be asked to show further
cause why the provision, now a part of the
tariff law, should not be removed. A
spirit of gratitude and humbleness can
best be indicated by a conservative manip-
ulation Of the stock, and this, ii is believed,
has been decided upon.
The bank statement reflects a loss of
about $40, 10000. mostly In specie paid out
on account of bond purchases. Had bank
officials properly reported this disburse-
ment 1t would have sho xn, more prop
erly, in last weeks statement of averages.
The increase in loans is due to the same
cause. The decrease in surplus brings
that item down to $33,OO0,0OO. The state
ment in detail follows: Reserve decreased,
$19,31S150; loans, increased, $S,213, 400;
specie, decreased, S17,357,600; legals, de-
creased $780, 800; deposits, decreased, 3d.
49, 400, and circulation, increased 81, 100.

Master MOlder.

1t is expected that Secretary Herbert
will next week fill the offices of foreman
of the ordnance shops and master molder
at the Washington navy yard, made vacant

amined at the navy yard during the pres
ent week by board of naval officers, COM

Lynch, Giles and Halpin Of the present
force and George Norton; for master mold
er, Messrs. Cochran and Bivens of the

governed entirely in his selection by the
result of the examination just concluded.

standing of each of the candidates exam
ined, will probably be submitted to the de-
partment Monday, and it will take but a
snort time to select the men best quail

DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.
Something May Happen In the Shea
Liquor Case.

Some interesting developments in the
Shea liquor case are promised. Solomon
Green, the young colored man who work
ed with the police in South Washington,
and who was arrested and committed for
vagrancy, because it was alleged he caused
the arrest of a number of disreputable
women because they refused to give him
money or treat him. is the man who is to
inquire in the matter, so it is said.
1t was stated today that he has made an
affidavit concerning the Shea case, which,
if true, will exonerate Shea.
Green has been in the workhouse about
three weeks, but, this afternoon he was re-
leased on bond furnished by Sheas coun-
sell John Leonard becoming his surety.
Leonard IS the man who has been con-
victed so many times of charges involving
violations of the liquor law, and Green
reached the workhouse while Leonard was
serving a Senterce.
WheE the bond was given in the clerk s
office this afternoon Lawyer O'Neil said
that if the bond is forfeited at any time
Mrs. Shea will pay the 500.

THE DIPHTHERIA CURE
An Investigation of the Discovery to
he Authorized by Congress-.

Representative Goldzier of Chicago is
preparing a resolution for a government
investigation of the anti-toXine cure for
diphtheria. 1t will propose a mixed CON-
mission under the direction of the surgeon
general of the army, surgeon general of the
navy and surgeon general of the marine
hospital corps, each bureau to designate
three officers to serve without additional
pay than their salaries.
Mr.. Goldziers action is the result of con-
ferences with Secretary Reilly of the Hi
noiS state board of health, one of the
recognized sanitary authorities of the
country. Mr.. GoldZier says the purpose of
the investigation is to give the stamp of
government approval or of disapprovaI to
the discovery. Thus far casual investiga-
ton by several government bureaus has
been made, but 1T has been with that for
mality and thoroughness which a national
commission could give. Mr.. Goldzier says
similar commissions Investigated the yell
low fever cure and certain immigration
features.

BAH EN- NO. B ETTE r
He Has Not Been Given Up Yet by the
Emergency Doctors.
President Richards Declares George
ance the Proposed Prosecution.

The condition of Mr.. George H. Bahen.
who is lying at the Emergency Hospital
with fractured spine, remains unchanged
He rests easily and is mentally bright, but
there seems to be no visible improvement
The published statements that the physi-
clans at the Emergency Hospital had in
formed him yesterday that he could not
possibly recover are untrue. Bahen has
not been told anything Of the sort, and
DR.. Bell, the resident physician at the in
stitution, said this afternoon that the sur
geons have not yet given up hope of saving
Bahens life.
The critical condition of the injured
youth, and the spread of the rumor that
his death was imminent, caused a renewal
of the assertions that certain Of the Co
lumbia Athletic loot ball players, who
were engaged in the scrimmage wherein
Bahen's back was broken, would be pros
ecuted criminally for felonious and deadly
assault, on the ground that they DELHI
erately proceeded TO disable Bahen and
other leading Georgetown men when they
found the championship game could be
won in no other way. 1t Is hardly prob
able, however, that prosecutions inspired
by the university will follow, even II Ba-
hen dies
President Richards of Georgetown Col
lege was asked about the probable course
the college authorities would pursue in
such an emergency.
There has been talk on the outside of the
college walls to the effect that the case of
Mr.. Bahen would be carried into the Dis
trict courts" said Father Richards, but
we feel that there has already been too
much unenviable notoriety given our insti7
tuition by this sad affair. We have no de-
sire to go into the courts with the matter,
and, so far as the faculty of Georgetown
Universitysis concerned we will endeavor
to head off and stop any attempt to take 1t
there"
There is considerable talk on the outside,
however, among Georgetown partisans who
witnessed the game, and 1t is freely de-
clared that no matter whether Bahen re-
covers or not the men responsible for his
injuries will be made to explain everything
connected with the manner of their oc-
currence before the Criminal court.

INDIAN WAR IMMINENT.
The Trouble Originally Caused by
Vicious Cowboys and Pah Utes.

Delegate Rawlins of Utah says he looks
for war in Utah before the Ute Indian
difficulties are settled. The latest reports
that he has received indicate serious
condition of affairs. The Indians have ad-
vanced within thirty miles Of Moab and
have caused the settlers a great deal of
trouble, robbing and pillaging and espe-
cially driving off stock. Mr.. Rawlins says
that the white settlers have notified every
body to have the women and children re-
moved to places of safety. The settlers
are arming and intend to drive the Indians
back to Colorado, or at least, out of Utah.
Mr.. Rawlins has called the attention of
Secretary Smith to the anticipated troubles
and told him that the settlers will re-
move the Indians IL the government does
not.

One of the Chicago Murderers Makes
Confession.

CHICAGO, December S.-John b. Jersey

fled to having seen them with the box con-
tanning the body. The men were employees

tion the murdered man held, Jordan being
his first assistant.
Jordan has exhibited remarkable GOODNESS
throughout, having been the first to identi-
fy the body. The police for a time refused

1T is stated that some of the sailors

policemen in quest of the thieves boarded
the Columbia, and the lieutenant who was

Nothing known Here.

The Navy Department is entirely without
Information in regard 70 the circumstances
detailed in the above dispatch. The Off
Gals attach little Importance to il, any
how, on the ground that If anything of the
kind did actually happen at Kingston it
was a trifling affair and has been salts
factorily adjusted before now.
1t is admitted strong possibility
that some Of the sailors may have got into
row while on shore. and that the local
CCnstahulary may have demanded their
surrender, in ignorance of the fact that
when the men were on government YES
sci they were on United States territory
and could not be surrendered to a foreign
power. except through the medium of ex-
tradition.
At any rate the alleged trouble has not
been reported to the Navy Department
and the Columbia Is at BluefelGs. an en-
tirely different Jurisdiction. Nothing has
been heard from her, however, since she
touched at Caimanera, Cuba, on the 18th
