Speculation Opened with a Good Tone and
Continued During the Day.
NEW YORK, May 3-The fact that only 30Oo,O 600
in gold have been engaged for shipment to
Europe by to-morrows steamer, s5oo,O0o of which
goes from Boston. was regarded as a favorable
indication by the speculative fraternity, and the
evidences of the approaching settlement of the
tariff question by the national legislature was
accepted as another bull point
These influences for good outweighed the de-
preston which was carried over from yesteroas, ~
organization proceedings now In progress IN the
several insolvent railway corporations The
local traders were mostly buyers and LONDON

speculation opened, national lead being in par

market had advanced only a fraction when the
decline in Sugar and Lead caused n partial re-

Tho rest of the market was but slightly

in Sugar. which led to a general advance, the
speculation continuing firm but in light volume
until little before o'clock, when drive was
made on Sugar, sending that stock down and

INSTRUCTIONS" OLA SUGAR EXCHANGE


The Sugar Exchange of New Orleans,
speaking for the people Of Louisiana, ''in-
struots'' Senators Caffrey and Blanchard to
combine with Hill in " defense Of the inter-
ests of louisiana" and to defeat the tariff
bill, If necessary, to advance those interests.
Comment on the proposed combine is not
necessary; but the impertinence OF the ex-
change in presuming to speak for the people
of the whole state Of Louisiana is. because OF
the monumental gall displayed.
Louisiana has over a million people, and
the United States has nearly seventy times as
many. Probably three hundred Louisiana
planters will be benefited by tariff on
sugar. In order that they may get more for
their sugar than ii is worth every mothers
son and daughter of us are TO be taxed or
cents on every pound of sugar we eat. Thus
in a year, if the Sugar Exchange gets its way,
we will pay enough extra for our sugar to
buy half a dozen Louisiana sugar crops.
Sugar is a necessity; therefore make it
cheap, not dear.
Don't tell US that this tariff on sugar is to
be laid in the interests of labor, for that
would not be true. If laid. it will be in the
interest of planters, middle men and the
sugar trust. The laborers in the sugar in
dustry will continue to compete each with
the other for an opportunity 10 work, as of
wore and as now. so that the beneficiaries OF
a sugar tariff will continue to wax fat, as OF
yore and as now.

An Opinion From a Woman.
4, 4l,a Eiitos. ofI TUE TIlarc.


The authorities capped the climax" when
they charged Gen. Coxey with having trampled
upon and destroyed the shrubbery and the turf
on the Capitol grounds last Tuesday If justice is
to be meted out on that score, 5000 citizens of
Washington will stand up with Coxey when he
comes to trial, and will receive the same iudg-
ment II any shrubbery was broken and any
turf trampled in Coxey's path, you may be sure
the policemen and their horses did 1t.
By the way, am wondering what right the
police had in giving chase to him as he ran to
the Capitol steps, He had done nothing. He
was not then law-breaker nor a fugitive from
Justice. He was merely running across the
grounds as hundreds of others were doing.
Coxey has plan for the amelioration of the
suffering masses, something many of our law
makers have not. That there is suffering no SEN
sible person can deny. When a United States
Senator can assert that every one who honestly
desires employment can have II, he either
makes a willful misstatement he is entirely
ignorant of the facts as they exist Great cau-
tion is necessary at this time, for the seeds may
be sown which will result in revolution and the
destruction of the republic. NJ. B.

The subcommittee Of the House Committee
on the Judiciary which was appointed to In
vestigate the charges against Judge jenkins
in granting an injunction enioining the
Northern Pacific employees from striking
made its report to the full committee yester-
day. The report says that Judge Jenkins e1-
ceded his authority, and that his action is IA
gross abuse Of Judicial authority without the
warrant OF law, and void" 1t is signed by
Messrs. Boatner and Terry, and it is probable
that Mr.. Stone, the Republican member OF
the committee, will make minority report
after the full committee have considered the
subject. 1t appears, therefore, that the judges
OF even the higher courts err occasionally,
Just like other people.

CHINESE REGISTRATION.
General Compliance with the Exclusion

General Compliance with the Exclusion
Act in Sixty three Districts.
Thursday was the last day for registrations
under tho Chinese exclusion act and the amend
ments thereto. Information as to the exact
number who have complied with the conditions
imposed is withheld by the Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue until reports from all OF the
sixty-three districts have been received Tele-
graphic reports arriving constantly, ana IL
is expected that all will have reached here by
this evening, when statement covering the
facts will be made public. 1t is learned, how
ever. that there has been general compliance
with tho law in all parts of the country The
only notable exception TO the rule, SO lar as
learned has been in the mountainous districts
of Montana, where the deep SHOWS and the
rigors of winter have prevented those living in
the far interior from reaching points where reg
istration books were open. In these sections the
deputies have been obliged to travel on snow
shoes and endure hardships which the Chinese
would hardly be expected TO undergo Accord
ing to the census returns of 1890 there were ap-
proximately i0., 500 Chinese in this country, and

The Cleveland Children VIII Go.

Clarence L. Dean, agent for the Barnum and
Bailey show, yesterday called at the White
House and extended an invitation 10 the Presi-
dent and Mrs Cleveland TO attend the perform
ances of the show in this city next Monday and
Tuesday with the children and their attendants.
The Presidents reply was that he would prob
ably find it impossible to attend, but that the
children would doubtless be most happy to go.
Mr.. Dean wishes to announce that Oxford, the
famous jumping horse, which once belonged To
Mayor Grant, of New York, and many
prizes at Madison Square garden, is now the
property of Manager James A. Bailey, and is
exhibited in difficult feats of high and distance
jumping at each performance Of the circus
Preparations are already being made for the
advent of the big circus. 1t will exhibit on Mon

DANA TALKS THROUGH HIS HAT.

Mr.. Dana, of the New York Sun, has this to
say as the resultant of his thought on Coxey:
Three hundred and thirty-six able-bodied men
working six days a week for five weeks at dol
lar day would earn S10OS0. Coxey's army
numbers 1856 men, and 1t is five weeks since it
began its march.
Notice that Mr. Dana would allow the men
to rest on Sunday or some other day each
week.
This squib has that well-turned, crisp, cpl
grammatic finish, with no words wanting and
none too many, which is so forcible. But the
Coxey problem is not really absolutely and
entirely solved by it. So many days work at
SO much day unquestionably amounts to so
much. There can be no disputing it, no mat
ter how much sophistry you apply. But first
get these thirty days work for these three
hundred and thirty-six men. After that get
them thirty more and thirty more. Then
look out for the, say, ten thousand men who
are following Coxey's band. Provide them
with day or so of hard work each and pay
for it. And behind these ten thousand con-
front the tens of hundreds of thousands Of
Coxeyites. of men out of Work, who are stay
ing al nome. oiap thein LII LILO iace WIN I"
little work.
What right have you, Mr.. Dana, to offer
$4,000 solution of the labor problem? What
right have you to give hungry men epigrams?
Why can't you be serious about Coxey? Why,
can't you see that if he had never been born
or if he were now confined in a mad house
his problem would be just as much alive and
just as serious and just as much worthy OF
consideration-of the consideration that you
will be forced to give it some time, whether
you will or no?
Coxey cannot be taken for what he is worth
You know it, andit would be well to acknowl-
edge it.
