STOCKs-The week closed on the Stock
Exchange with heavy tone TO the specu-
lation, solely as a result OF the continuance
and threatening character Of the railway
strike. II was not until to-day that Wall
street took serious alarm at the condition
of affairs in the western railway world.
The London market for American securi-
ties reflected the foreign estimate of the
strike bv the depression which character
led the trading in our railway securi-
ties. and there was foreign selling OF the
international stocks on the New York EX-
change. The course of values to-day for
these reasons was downward, prices with
scarcely an exception declining steadily
from the opening TO the close Of business.
Pullman was the heaviest sufferer of the
entire list, declining ? per cent. Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and st. Louis and
Lead II, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
II. Baltimore and Ohio, Delaware and
Hudson and Sugar per cent. The market
closed heavy with tendency downward.

New York Wool Market.
BrddstrssIs.


The market has shown more activity,
due in part to little speculative feeling
induced by the hope that a small duty on
wool would be tacked on the tariff bill by
the United States Senate at the tinal vote:
The hope was crushed By the result, and
the close is dull, with values as much In
buyers favor as at any time this year.
The sales reported include 100000 pounds
Texas sold to arrive, which are just being
delivered. Territory WOODS and those
grown west of the Mississippi river have
attracted the bulk of the attention, the
weeks sales including about 2,5OO,OoO
pounds of this class. Fleece woods are
quiet, although fair business in unwash-
ed grades is noted. Australian woods
opened in London at 2}Sa5 per cent. sd-
vance over the close OF the previous sale,
which tends to strengthen the market for
these woods on this side. Carpet woods are
Quiet.

The sovereignty OF Nicaragua over tha
territory 10 acknowledged BY the UnItsd
States, and 1t logically foilows that VI
can make no objection to its control o
the local administration II our interests
and those of American citizens are made
secure. There is good reason to believe
that American and British citizens had
quite as much to do with the Mosquito
resistance Of Nicaraguan authority. and
with support of the claim OF local auton.
omy by the equalid remnant of the ab-
origines. az the Indians themselves. But
FOR the meddling Of foreigners at Blue
fields, ii is not likely that the Mosquito
Indians would attempt to resist the con-
troll of Nicaragua, and the distinction
between the sovereignty Of the country
and the government OF its people and
the administration of its local affairs is
an impracticable one to maintain.
But what concerns US most in Central
America is the Nicaragua canal enter
prise, and the Times contends that
while We have never admitted that the
Ciayton-Bulwer treaty was any bar TO
the exercise OF such control over that as
we may see fit to assume, with the con-
sent of Nicaragua, it is desirable to have
this position conceded by Great Britain,
If possible.
This is the diplomatic rendering of
the condition. The popular idea is that
the Monroe doctrine precludes all for
sign interference-an assumption that
has not yet been fairly tested save by
diplomatic concession.
The bill reported in the house at the
last session of congress, providing virtu-
ally foF the assumption Of con.
troll over the canal by our gov
eminent, will be brought up at the
current session, and it is possible that it
may have such support in both houses
as will carry it through. There is moth
ing in the Clayton Bulwer treaty that
should deter our government from tag
ing any action that may be deemed e1-
pedient. but if the chronic disagreement
with Great Britain regarding the validi-
ty and force Of that instrument can bs
settled by amicabls negotiation. so much
the better. There is really no British
interest and no international interest, so
far az the canal is concerned, that will
not be ss securely protected By our con-
troll as it could be by any international
agreement. At all events. the treaty of
1850 has no application except as an OBJ
struction, and the United States is not
likely to enter into any new agreement
which would promote European inter.
ference in Central America.

MILLS AND THE TOGA.

The free pass contingent of the
! press iS lining up nobly on behalf
OF w. II. Mills, who desires to succeed
George @. Perkins in the United States
senate. The support is practically
unanimous, irrespective of politics. The
argument Of the Democratic section is
to the effect that since CALIFORNIA; must
be represented by a vassal OF the
Southern Pacific, W. II. Mile is the
most available and the most general y
satisfactory to the people. 1t is claimed
that he has sufficient independence"
to oppose @. P. Huntington's most
unpopular orders and dem ands, and
that he has "brains." This
is plausible but sophistical. It
is logic based on the free pass and "half
rate" idea. The editors who are whoop-
ing it up for Mills are privileged to
traverse the land without paying a cent,
simply on the recommendation of Mr..
Mills end that gentleman's guarantee
that they are "all right" whatever that
may mean.
Why one of MIR. Huntington's hired
men should be preferred to Mr.. Hunt
ington himself - . representative of the
sovereign people of California in the
United States senate passes the under
standing OF the ordinary citizen, and
why the free pass contingent Of
the press should 20 into caucus
for Mr.. Mills when the crigi-
nal monopolist is still on earth 10
one of the vagaries of non.partisan
journalism that puzzles the comprshen-
sion Of the normal observer and is only
explainabls on ths hypothesis that Mr..
Mills possesses the faculty OF hypnotic
ing the cou ntry editor whenever the lat
ter makes application for his annual"
1t is the delight of Mr.. Mills to lecture
the rural journalist at tiresome length
whenever that "molder of public opin-
ion" enters the Presence. Holding the
unfortunate with "his glittering eye"

nalism" inveighs againat the venality,

Of ell newspapers outsids the railroad

Instructions to the subsidized journalist
concerning the policy and conduc. of
the journal in process OF being free

II is probably gratitude to Mr.. Mills
that iuspiree the Mills supporters in the
present nstsnce-gratitude for past ser.
vices and yearning for more.
This explanation will probably ac-
count for the profound salaam of the
imams and dervshes OF the press, and
why they ere shouting from the minar.

GOVERNOR HoGG of Texas means q
whole lot of business in his effort to
bring the Standard Oil company to trial
for violation of the Texas antitrust
law. He has forwarded requisitions for
the srrest of William and Henry Rookie
feller, to Governor Stone OF Missouri
and Governor Flower of New York. and
he says that he will follow the men into
every state and across the ocean. If
necessary, to bring them to justice. II
there were more governors like Gov
srnor Hogg. the Rockefellers, the Car
negies and the Huntingtons would not
lord 1t go arrogantly over the people az
they do now. Perhaps the example Of
Hogg of Texas will have salutGry
effect in stiffening the gu0ernatorial

stroying the energy. ambition end

BRITISH PRETENSION.

1t is possible that the negotiations
now in progress between the state
department at Washington and the
British foreign Office, with refer
ence TO Nicaragua, may result in the
withdrawal OF British pretensions in
Central America, but the tradition ia
quite generally received that Great
Britain never gives up anything che has
once acquired. It would be too much to
expect that she would surrender Hon
duraa to its own people, although the Un-
tied Statea government has long contend.
ed that the possession OF that country is q
violation OF the Clay tom Bulwer treaty,
and justifes US in regarding that stipu-
lation as void.
The New York Times is of the opinion
that there is no rational ground upon
which the burlesqae protectorate OF the
Mosquito coast can be kept up.
The herald., 1894-12-06

Ar THIS distance, and viewing the
question from locel standpoint. the
people of California must heartily favor
Senator Morgan's plea before the Demo-
cratic congressional caucus for liberal
allowance of time for the consideration
OF the Nicaragua canal bill. As an i'm
mediate concern OF the people OF this
coast decisive action on the Nicaragua
canal matter is of more i'm mportance than
any that will be acted upon by this or
