GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 25.-For the first time
in several days Londons attitude toward
the more prominent international securities
was decidedly encouraging and inspired a
moderate buying demand among local op
orators. The regular fortnightly settle
ments are progressing satisfactorily and
the rate for the new account is generally
conceded to be liberal The resignation CT

me general situation is unchanged, how
ever, the scarcity of all classes Of COM
mercial bills still continuing.
The buying of the Granger shares was an
important feature of the days operations,
satisfactory crop reports encouraging
revival OF the buying demand in this de-
partment.
Burlington and st. Paul were particularly
strong under fair volume of business
New England opened at an advance of Ia
to 53 and sold off sharply to 30 Ii on sales
for both accounts. Rumors of a further
sharp advance in this property were cir
culated in the room, but outside Of the
manipulative interest there is little dispo-
sition to trade in the property.
The vetoing of the frontage bill late yes
terday afternoon was responsible for a 1Is
per cent decline in the price of Chicago
Gas at the opening, but later trading re-
stored the bulk of this concession. The
reason assigned for the governors action
was that such a bill was destined to per-
petuate the monopoly of existing corpora
tons. The defeat of this bill will result in
further interference from rival companies

price soon recovered to lis 81. Trade re-
ports are said to be showing daily improve

Rumors that the old interest which pre-

CHILEAN CAPITOL BUILDING.
An Account of It's Burning Sent by
Minister StrObe1.

United States Minister Strobel ct San
tiago has sent to the State Department
the following account of the burning Of the
Chilean capitol building:
II regret to report the destruction by fire
Of the building occupied by the houses CT
congress. The fire broke out at 80 o'clock
this morning CIay 80. The edifce was re-
garded as the finest in Chile. and but very
little of the furniture or archives were
saved Tie loss is estimated at about one
million dollars, United States gold. without
col sidering the archives, which can never
be replaced. The building was begun in
1857 but was not dedicated until 1876, dur
ing the presidency of t'redrico Errazuriz.
While there are rumcrs that the fire was
the work of incendiaries, it seems to me
more natural 20 regard it as the result CT
en- accident, as the official report states
that the fire broke out In that portion of
the building which was being repaired. and
" here several stoves had been lighted for
the ilrst time in order to dry the walls.
These stoves being left alight, probably
caused an explosion of escaping gas. The
government has at once called Tor plans

MIR. OLNEY'S LETTER.
How He Complied With the Nfcarn.
gum Minister'S Request.


In diplomatic circles there is much
amusement over letter written by Secre-
tary of State Olney to Minister Guzman OF
Nicaragua a few days ago.
A certain newspaper had printed q para
graph to the effect that Mr.. Guzman had
made himself persona non grata to the
administration because of stories that had
been printed, which were believed to have
been circulated by the minister from Mica
ragua.
Mr.. Guzman called On Mr.. Olney and
ticle. Mr.. Olney assured the minister that
it was without foundation. and that he
entertained the most cordial feelings to-
ward the diplomat.
Mr.. Guzman replied that so far as he was
concerned, the report in the paper made
no difference, but he said that such re-
port would be copied in the papers of his
country by his enemies without the subse-
quent explanation, and that through this
means he might sustain serious injury in
his diplomatic career. He requested the
Secretary to write him a letter declaring
the true character of the report, so that he
might, through that means, counteract any
Ill effects that might follow it. Mr.. Olney
then wrote to this effect:
'Sir-In response to your request, which
it was perfectly proper for you TO make,
take pleasure in informing you that, with
the single exception of the statement that
you are the Nicaraguan minister TO the
United States the report of the
is untrue"
to appeal to the State Department to have
some erroneous impression riehted, but the
terse way in which Mr.. Olney disposed of
this case is regarded as Interesting

Within few days the parking commits
sion will commence an onslaught upon the
large army Of caterpillars which are de-
stroying the shade trees of the city.
Major Powell had long talk this after
noon with a representative Of the COM
mission, and outlined a plan of attack. 1t
was agreed that 1T would be unwise to
burn the caterpillar nests as that damaged
the trees. Whitewash was no barrier to
the little squirmers and the paris green
solution. which was sprayed upon the trees
several years ago. was both dangerous and
expensive. Major Powell said he had read
where small piece of lump sulphur, placed
in a hole cut into the tree was carried by
the sap, and was preventive against at
tacks by caterpilars. The subject will be
considered carefully before anything Is
decided upon.
Speaking of the trees of Washington.
Maj. Powell called attention to what the
Commissioners had recently ordered about
continuous tree spaces. Heretofore 1t had
been customary to leave only small space
for the moisture to get to the roots of the
tee. This did well enough upon streets
paved with brick, but when streets were
paved with concrete. as many Of our side
walks are now being paved. continuous
spaces would be left and the space nicely
having the interests Of the city at heart
and desiring to maintain the trees would
keep this space we'll watered, thereby in
surfing the life Of the tree and keeping a
nice strip Of parking In front of their
houses, always green.

ANOTHER sCOW SUNK.
Alexandria in Earnest in Their Gar
baEe Warfare.

bnge Warfare.
A. j. Taylor & Bro, the owners of the
garbage scows. anchored another load of
refuse matter in the river near AleNan-
dria yesterday afternoon, and the balmy
breezes waited the most obnoxious odors
over that city. Mayor Strauss in accord
ance with his determination, sent Super
intendent of Police Dobie to where the
scow was anchored with instructions to
sink it. which was done about o'clock.
Mayor Strauss declares that he will pursue
the same course whenever this thing Is
perpetrated on the citizens of Alexandria,
and he Is backed up in his determination
by all the citizens of the town. The mayor
says that he has demonstrated with the
District authorities for more than a year
past, and they have paid no attention to
ms protest, and he deems the sinking OF the
sccws without further parley the proper
solution of the matter. The foul odors
that drift over the city from the decaying
garbage are not only extremely obnoxious
and diSagreeable, but are thoroughly menac-
ing to the health Of the city. The garbage
haulers of the District, so it is said, did the
same thing last summer, and the people
OF the town put up with it.. The owners of
the scows are very indignant over the
matter. and have notified Mayor Strauss
that they will enter suit against the city
TO recover the amount of cost of the Scows
and the time lost by not having their use.
l,he scow sunk yesterday was the second
that has been dealt with in this manner
during the past week, and fast as they
are anchored off the city the mayor has
given instructions that they be sunk. The
citizens are of the opinion that 1t Is best
to take the bull by the horns sink the
scows. save the health OF the city and
stand the law suit afterward, If necessary.
Little Information.
In this city very little was known of the
latest sinking affair. The owners of the
scows had no information and even de-
MED the affair.
The statement published this morning to
the effect that another one of our scows
was sunk yesterday afternoon" said Capt.
Taylor the owner of the boats, to a Star
reporter. us unqualitiedly false But one
scow has been disturbed by the Alexandria
authorities, and that occurrence took place
Wednesday last Since that time we have
been towing garbage past Alexandria, as
has been the custom, and have also unload
ed the material above, below and opposite
that city.
Neither have We taken any action to-
ward prosecuting the parties responsible
for the injury to the scow as yet We are
In no hurry. but most emphatrally intend
to secure redress
Capt. Taylor. accompanied by his attor-
ney. Mr.. Randall Hagner. yesterday called
on Assistant District Attorneys Mullowny
and Pugh in regard to prosecuting the par
ties referred to, but it was deemed mad
visable to issue warrants. as they reside in
Alexandria. 1t Is possible that Capt. Tay-
lor will secure a warrant from justice ct
the peace and await the presence of the
sinkers of the scow in this city to serve it.
