SUGAR TOUCHED PAR.
Day of Excitement Among the Bulls
and Bears ON Wall Street.

New York, March 6.-American sugar
touched par shortly before II O'Clock
this morning. The stock closed at 9(
cents last night. The jump OF 10 points
means that somebody has been cornered.
All sorts of theories as reasons for the
rise are being indulged in. 1t is known
that ever since tariff matters have been
agitated Washington capitalists and
traders have been active on one side or
the other of the stock. 1t is believed
that after the Honse passed the free
sugar schedule an enormous short inter-
est was made. Now that the Senate is
inclined to grant some protection. the
short interest has become frightened and
is irving to get out. This morning a
story was started to the effect that bull
talk from the national capital was un-
founded. This caused a reaction OF
about per cent. but soon afterwards q
buying order for an immense block OF
the stock was discovered, and this added
to the anxiety of the shorts, and the
stock was quickly rushed up to 100. The
general stock market was weak in the
early trading, but the sensational rise in
American sugar brought about an i'm.
provement all along the line. AT IL
o'clock the market was firm.
The excitement in sugar abated after
II a. m., but the stock naturally con-
tinued feverish in its course. The price
rallied to 95 3-4 and then receded to 93 34
Additional reasons for the jump are,
first, that a young and inexperienced
broker was given an order to buy five
Thousand shares of the stock. The order
e., l,s 70 1n ho
lost his head and bought his last hun
dred at par. In other words he bid the
stock up ON himself. Another story is
that Washington shorts became alarmed
at the strength of the stock and started
in to cover. 1t may also be said that a
Broadway house with Washington con-
nections bought 10000 shares of the stock
this morning. The most enthusiastic
of the bulls are now claiming that the
Wilson bill is doomed and they are bas-
ing their operations on this theory.

THE INDIANA,
whistles and Bells Made Merry Din as the
Battle Ship Put to Sea.

Philadelphia, March GA noisy re-
ception was accorded to the battleship
Indiana this morning as she left the
Cramps shipyard for her preliminary, or
builders, trial trip. Every whistle, af1oat
and ashore, in the city of shipyards was
footing, ana bells galore were changing
their loudest. The din continued until
the warship was beyond the city limits.
The lines which held the 10000 tonner
to the wharf were cast off at S.45, and
twenty minutes later the vessel proceeded
down the Delaware river under her own
steam. Tonight the warship will anchor
in lower Delaware bay, and tomorrow
morning will pass seaward. The chief
trial for speed will take place tomorrow
off the Delaware capes over course
nine and seven-eighths miles in length,
between the Five Fathom bank light
ships. 1t is confidently expected that the
nineteen knot requlreme emit Will be .ex-
ceeded Thursday the battleship Will be
given continuous run of about four
hours to thoroughly test the machinery.
The return trip will be made Friday.
and the vessel will probably be again
rad at the shipyard on the same
afternoon. The work of preparing the
battleship for the governments trial will
then begin. The date of the official trial
will depend largely upon the result CT
the present trial.

GOTHAM'S MIDWAY.
The Plaisance of the Fair Reproduced in
Madison Square Garden,

New York, March 6.-The arena of the
Madison Square Garden was transformed
yesterday into a scene reproducing on
a smaller scale the famous Midway
Plaisance at the World Fair in Chicago.
There is the Irish village, set with scenes
of cottages and castles, and the lite is il
lustrated by songs and dances and jigs.
Across the avenue is the German village,
with its feats of music and the inevitable
signs of good cheer in the shape OF circu-
lar tables and draughts of beer.
Cairo street, as presented at Chicago,
is reproduced, on smaller scale, and
the opportunity is afforded to ride upon
a camel or an ass, just as the spirit. OF
the visitor may incline him. There is
the Turkish theatre, with its Eastern
music and dances, and the old Vienna
street.
1t was large throng which marked
the opening last evening, and every
pavilion was filled. to the exclusion OF
many who sought entrance. The Chinese
theatre was open, and it afforded many
exhibitions in iugglery, athletics and
contortion. The wild animal show was
especially interesting, and particularly
the performance of the monkeys. There
is always pronounced sympathy be-
tween monkeys and humanity, The
monkeys exhibited last evening were
dressed in striped clothing, but the
stripes extended.in an honest, perpend1c-
ular way. This fact was suggestive to
the New Yorker at this time when SO
many of her citizens are assuming suits,
the stripes of which run laterally around
the body.
There is a small reproduction of the
Japanese village, and there are Esqui-
maus who try to keep cool in. this
atmosphere by tanning themselves with
Japa nese fans.

Petreuuin Dead.

South Berwick, March 6.-John Patre-
qnin, the wood chopper who was found
frozen and unconscious under the Bos-
ton & Maine bridge, Sunday morning,
died at the town farm this morning,
without having regained consciousness.
The opinion that he was a victim of a
brutal beating is stronger than ever and
the feeling exists that thorough in
vestigation should be made at once.

sMethodists and the A. p. A.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 6.-At the
monthly meeting last night of the
Methodist ministers the subject of the
A.P.A. came up for discussion. DR..
Huntley, pastor of Summerfield. took
the ground that ministers should not
compromise the church by allying them
selves with organizations which work in
the dark. A few of the clergymen
present were inclined to differ from DR..
HuntIey. DR.. Bosworth said it was
necessary sometimes to discuss a politi-
cal principle in the pulpit, and because
that principle happened to be espoused
by secret society it should not be kept
out of the pulpit 1t was evident from
the trend of the discussion that the
majority of the Methodist clergymen
were opposed to the A. P. A. movement.

WAR IN COSTA RIGA.
Hard Fighting Reported-Bishop Thiel
Arrested for Plotting Revolution.

New Orleans, March 6.-Passengers on
the steamer Albert Dumois bring addi-
tional news of the revolution in Costa
Rica. Senior Iglesias. the present secre-
tary of state, who was candidate for
the presidency, has left San Jose to meet
body of 1000 insurgents Iwho are
marching on the capital. Senior Iglesias
is the leader of the liberal party. His
opponent for the presidency is Senior
Trijos, leader of the Catholic union or
church party. A battle was recently
fought at Gracios, near San Jose, be-
tween the liberal party, under Iglesias.
and the church party, under Triios. The
church party was routed and Triios was
captured, with A. E. Jiminez, the Bel
gian consul to Costa Rica. The exequa-
tur of the consul will be revoked and he
will be banished. Martial law has been
proclaimed and President Rodriguez is
supreme dictator. Fighting has occurred
at other small towns with small loss of
life.
Advices from San Jose. Costa Rica.
dated February 2S, say:
Bernardo A. Thiel, bishop Of Costa
Rica. and several other prominent Catho-
lies, clerical and lay, have been arrested
here, charged with plotting revolution.
At this writing the authorities are in
hourly expectation of an attack. The
police have been armed with
rifles. and the militia are
under arms prepared to turn out at a
moments notice. Bishop Thiels pur-
pose is said to be the establishment of
government of the Catholics under his
direction. For similar attempt in 1885
he was expelled by Pres. Ferdinandez.
1t is expected the bishop and his asso-
ciates will be escorted to Port Limon
under an order of expulsion. He will
probably go to New York if expelled.

Killed In a Mine.

Scranton, Penn, March 6.-Four men
out of gang of nine shaft sinkers. were
killed in the Richmond shaft in the
northern part of the city this morning at
five O'Clock. The accident was caused
by the fall of shelf of rock from the
side of the shaft near the bottom and the
consequent explosion of a blower of gas.
Five others in the shaft made their es-
cape, though some suffered slight bruises
in the scramble for safety. These were
quickly hoisted to the surface but the
bodies of the others have not been re-
covered owing to the accumulation of
after damp into which it was dangerous
for the rescuers to enter.

RED PAINT AT HARVARD.
A Species of Vandalism which Belongs
Exclusively to Cambridge.

Boston, March b.-Ihe journal says:
Harvard students have again applied the
brush and red paint and perpetrated an
act Of vandalism. When Archibald M.
Howe, who resides at 6 Bond street,
Cambridge, arose this morning and his
vision fell upon the side of his house,
he was thunderstruck to read the follow
ing:
Davis, you - the stu
dents are all down on YOU"
The inscription was painted in scrawl-
ing letters and was evidently done in a
hurry. The job was done some time
last night under cover of the darkness.
Mr.. Howe is well-known lawyer and a
member of the First Parish church. He
was at loss to understand the meaning
of the thing. The broadside did not
strike him as being beautiful passage.
He had heard better ones. 1t was too
expressive altogether, and when he re-
hected on the fact that he would have to
repaint his house the affair took a more
serious turn. He accordingly wended
his way to Station l, and informed Capt.
Lucy of the matter. The situation is
that Mr.. Howe is victim of circumstan-
ces, andithat the students in their haste
picked out the wrong mans house. Prof.
VIM. M. Davis, assistant professor of
physical geography at Harvard, is a
friend and neighbor of Mr.. Howe's. He
resides at No. 2 Bond street. and the
professor is without doubt the person
on whom the perpetrators of the deed
intended to vent their spite, for what
reason is not known other than the in
acription might imply. About year
ago similar inscription was painted on
Prof. Davis's house. 1t will be remem-
bered that several years ago the statue
of John Harvard was daubed with red
paint, together with private property,
but this was done in celebration of a
base ball victory.
Mr.Archibald M. Howe smiled a very
broad smile when asked about the recenu
painting of his house.in character letters
and colors foreign to the previous decora-
tions of that edjfce. He was rather
disinclined to talk about it to the press
but said:
"Yes. my house was painted last
night. 1t was red paint. There were
characters and letters to the effect that
"the college hates you.n / do not know
what the college should hate me for.

lessor lives next door and it may have

well as other men, in case they did it,
/ was a student myself some twenty-five
years ago, but I think the college
students desire the graduates..of Harvard
to see to it that punishment is impartial
ly inflicted
Mr.. Howe, thought, however, that
there was much less trouble from the
students than there was twenty-five
years ago, and also that, considering the
number of students there were in the
college and the diversity OF character
which they represented, the trouble from
the students depredations was not great
as usual thing.
1t seems that some six months ago a
deed of amateur art was perpetrated
on the house of the neigh boring pro-
fessor. Mr.. Howe's house was not
touched at this time, but back fence
on a side street received a decoration,
