THE MARKET IS SLUGGISH.
Bears Hammer Stocks with Great
Success,
Downward Movement Assisted by
Crop Reports.

The movements at the Stock Ex-
change were sluggish this morning and
operators evnced less interest in specu-
latlon than at any time for couple OF
weeks past The bears, encouraged by
their success yesterday, hammered va
rious stocks, and succeeded in bringing
about a further decline of l-2 3-S per
cent. The pessimlstic accounts received
from Chicago concerning the crops are
mainly responsible for the reaction,
which has gone further than most
ira lers looked for.
The falling off In business shows plain
ly that the short side of the market Is
by no means as popular as the long side

M'kANE TO Be FREED?
May Get His Liberty with Other
Criminals Pardoled.
Shepard Says He Would Be at
Once Arrested Again.
AZ Least Eleven Indictments on
which He Could BE Tried.

It has been a matter Of common re-
port for several days past that the
friends of John Y. McKane. late king
OF Coney Island" and at present a con-
Wet working In the tailor shop OF Sing
Sing prison, were making efforts to in
duce Gov. Flower to pardon him.
Rumors regarding McKane, since he
was taken to Sing Sing, have been 80
common that not much attention were
paid TO these most recent ones until
to-day they assumed more definite
form.
It was said that Gov. Flower had been
seen in regard to the matter. and, while
he would not agree to pardon Mckane
before the coming Fall election, he was
quoted as leaving Mechanics friends In
no doubt as to what he might do after the
election. As Gov. Flower has already
released several more or less notorious
criminals, McKane's friends had great
hopes for their former leader.
The rumor stated that the gentlemen
most conspicuous In McKane's conVic-
tion would sign the petition for his re-
lease.
supreme Court Justice William J..
'0aynor, of Brooklyn, when interviewed
this afternoon, said:
II do not believe that petition is be-
ing circulated for McKane's pardon.
Certainly none has been presented TO
me for my signature. j have received
many letters In regard to the case, put
1T II a matter that ] would like to De
excused from talking about"
Gen. Tracy. when seen by The Even,
ing World" reporter. said he had heard
nothing of the matter.
''Would you sign such petition?'
asked the reporter.
''Oh, that would be a matter 20 which
would have to give serious considera-
2ion," replied Mr.. Tracy. and then add,
cd: you had better see Mr.. Shepard
concerning the matter
An Evening World" reporter called
On Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard at his Office,
III Broadway. He said: II have not
been asked to sign such a petition. and
/ know nothing Of the movement for
McKane's release. II he were pardoned
by Gov. Flower can assure you that he
would be promptly rearrested and tried
on other Indictments We have at least
eleven Indictments still hanging over
McKane on which he could be tried"

HER DIAMOND RINGS STOLEN.
Mysterious Robbery at Mrs. Mac
Vaugh's Brooklyn Home.
Money and Other Articles Untouched
by the Thieves.

| Mrs. William II. Macvaugh, of 252 De
! Kalb avenue. Brooklyn, was completely
mystifed this morning over a daring
robbery of her valuable diamond rings.
When the robbery took place, or how 1t
happened. she is al loss to imagine.
/ She Is "a member of one of Brooklyn's
most select social circles Her husband
/ is in the commission business in White
street, New York.
| In telling of the loss of her Jewels to
an Evening World' reporter, Mrs.
MacVaugh said
"This Is the most remarkable case of
robbery | ever heard of. There does not
seem to be the slightest foundation on
which to base a clue. As you see the
house Is of brown-stone. The basement
windows are tightly barred. There are
but four means of ingress unless
! through the windows, namely, the two
basement doors, front and rear; the
main front door, and the scuttle-hole on
the roof.
II returned from the country only last
week with my two children, a boy and
girl. Mr.. MacVaugh was at the house
nearly every day during the Summer,
and our old servant, Maggie. was here
| all tne time.
"On Sunday evening took off my five
rings and placed them on a ring tree on
my dresser: l placed my watch near
the rings. Monday morning about 10. 80
o'clock / took my little girl downtown
will me. The little boy and Maggie re-
mained at home.
Il returned about / o'clock, but paid
no attention to my rings until Tuesday
evening. when ] wanted to use them,
but | could not find them anywhere. My
| husband notified the police of the Gas
n avenue station, ana a detective called.
1t was only while he was here that l
| discovered that my watch was gone also.
| AN investigation showed that the scut-
| tie cover had not been opened. l do not
| believe Maggie touched the rings, as she
Is an old and trustful servant.
| While l was away my little boy went
out with his bicycle and did not close
the basement gate. 1t must have been
on leaving home | noticed a large
| number of roughlooking men in front
of the house. The only theory l have is
that one of them slipped In and took the
rings. But, on the other hand, 1t seems
strange to me that nothing but the rings
and watch were taken.
Right In plain sight was bag OF
money, a diamond pendant, diamond
studs and many other things OF value
The dresser Is covered with toilet ar
| ticles and not one of them was dis.

In the parlor there is quantity OF
small bric-a-brac that could easily have
been taken. The rings and watch are

so much for their intrinsic value as
do for the associations connected with
them.

WHlSKEY TRUST WILL FIGHT.
Good Legal Talent Secured to OPP
pose the Increased Tax.
(Bv Associated Press.


PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 3O.-Inquiry here
confirms the report that the Dlstilling
Company would contest the increase in
tax on spirits in bond on the ground of
illegal duty. 1t Is learned that this has
long been President Greenhuts idea, and
he has been in favor of making the fight
on this basis.
Good legal authority has been secured
for the argument that when the spirits
were put In bond at 30 cents per gal
lon there was an implied contract that
the tax would not be Increased on these
goods while they were in bond. A fight
will be made on this line.
