Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, November 16-opening
prices this morning were about on a parity
with last nights closing and were not sig
nificantly varied during the subsequent
narrow trading. London cables reflected
fractional shading OF in values, but for
eign interest in local dealings was too small
to be factor. Complete stagnation was
only averted by the evening up of traders
contracts at the close Of the week.
The Granger shares were in moderate de-
mand for this purpose, Burlington being
particularly conspicuous by reason Of its
ready response to the character of the de-
mand.
The earnings Of this property. as well as
those of the neighboring members of the
81 Cup. are almost certain to absorb atten-
t1on On the occasion of any revival of &C.
t.vity for the long account.
Reading was offered rather freely by
traders and sold of sharply for a decline
of Is per cent from opening figures The
retrograde movement in this property is
distinctly attributable to the provisions of
the proposed plan Of reorganization. and
opinions differ widely as to the probable
turning point in the downward course.
That the plan approaches feasibility Is not
doubted. but the costly experiences with
previous experimental schemes has made
weak holders extremely skeptfcal of ex-
pedients providing for an additional ex-
penditure of money.
The transactions In sugar resulted in &
net decline Of 3-S per cent from the opening
level considerable backing and filling with
liz fractional limits making up the days
business The pessmistic arguments based
on the reassembling of Congress continue
to be the dominant factors in this prop
erty. and belief In lower prices is stead
lily adhered to by the best Informed.
The transactions in the general market
during the coming week will be Influenced
largely. II not exclusively, by the couditi IN
OF the foreign exchange market. The i'm
preston made on values by this weeks cx-
ports Of three and one-qCarter millions ia
less pronounced than was originally antici-
pated. but any important continuation Of
the movement would be followed by q lower
speculative level. 1t is likely that some
gold will go out early in the week, but as
yet no reliable estimate of the amount "a
possible.
The banking operations for the week re-
Meet contraction of nearly three millions
IN the local loan account and a gain in law
full money, all in specie. This latter fact 10
explained by return of the money sent
into the interior several weeks ago for the
purpose of moving the crops. The decrease
in deposits and increase in reserve are the
natural results Of the changes in the pre-
ceding items.

EX-CONSUL WALLER.
4 Gloomy Account of His Condition
Sick ind in Need.


The family of ex-Consul John L. Waller,
now imprisoned at Mines, France, have re-
ceived a letter dated October 16. in which
Waller gives a gloomy account of his con-
dtion. He says that he has been suffering
from violent hemorrhage of the bowels.
He says that the new directory Of the prls-
on has, in view of his condition, arranged so
that he can purchase such rations Of food
will be necessary for his health. and
fiannels to protect him against the cold.
and he urges his family to send him money
at orce for these uses so that he can re-
Ceive it before the middle of November.
This appeal for money found Mrs. Waller
in a state of restitution. She has received
no assistance from the government since
she arrived in Washington several weeks
ago. and the family of five have already ex-
hausted their SGD received from public con-
tributions before the State Department un-
dertook to bring them from Mauritius.
They are now penniless and dependent on
charity.

MONROE DOCTRINE
Probable Satisfactory Adjustment of
the Venezuelan Question.
SECRETARY 0LNEY PRESSING MATTERS
Taking Advantage Of tho Diff
cuIties in Turkey.
CONSIDERING WALTERS CASE

In diplomatic circles 1t is believed that the
agitation of the powers over the eastern
question ends all danger of conflict between
the United States and Great Britain over
the enforcement Of the Monroe doctrine.
1t is thought that IL the State Department
presses the matter at this time to a speedy
conclusion a peaceable victory will be WOE
by the United States. England has her
hands full to hold her own with other
powers, II the division of Turkey
Is imminent, and with war threat
ened on the continent 1t is likely that she
would go long way to avoid embodiment
with the United States. Her interests in
the east. 1t is argued. are so much greater
that she could we'll afford to forego her
claims of very doubtful value and validity
in Venezuela. 1t Is the custom Of all ma
tons who make a. point of the practice of
diplomacy. and especially of Great Britain,
to seize such an opportunity as is now pre-
scented to the United States to secure
understood that Mr.. Olney fully appre-
ciates the situation and is endeavoring to
make the most of it.
Cuba Not Likely to Go to England.
The suggestion that Spain may cede Cuba
to Great Britain rather than let 1t fall
under tie influence of the United States.
which Is made In cable dispatches this
morning, is not thought much of, for the
same reason Of Englands eastern compli-
cations. IL for no other reason. England
cannot want to add anything more to her
troubles. Lord Salisbury's desire to estab-
fish friendly alliance with this country,
1t is surmised, was influenced by the situa-
ton which he foresaw must develop in
Turkey. This country will put no fingers
In that pie except to protect American citi-
zens, and even IL compelled to join other
nations in chastising the Turk would ask
for no part in the partition Of the empire,
but the moral influence of the friendship of
this one disintereSted government 1t is
thought would be beneficial to England in
any conflict that may occur over the ques-
ton.
Fortunate for MIR. Olney.
Altogether, 1t is argued that events are
falling out fortunately for Mr.. Olney, and
that luck may give the administration a
victory. which might not be so easily at
tanned under different circumstances. Con-
siderations similar to those expected to in
huence the action of Great Britain as to
Venezuela may operate to secure a salts
factory settlement of the Waller case with
France. The dispatches from Paris that
this case is being earnestly pressed are
construed to indicate that Mr.. Olney is
availing himself Of the situation In that
matter also.

COLLISION OF FREIGHTs.
A Fireman Killed and a Brakeman
BADLY Hurt.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Nov. leone per-
son was killed and another badly injured
as the result Of a head-end collision be-
tween two freight trains on the Fall Brook
railroad this morning.
The dead man was Fireman William Nc
Quade Of Corning. NY. who was so badly
burned and scalded that he died a few
minutes after being taken from the wreck.
Brakeman Kirkendal. also of Corning, had
a leg broken and is otherwise severely in
jured. He was brought to the hospital in
this city. There Is but slight hope Of his
recovery.
The wreck occurred at Cammars Rock
short distance above Jersey Shore. Imme-
diately after the crash the wreck caught
fire and four cars were destroyed. The
tracks were torn up for several yards. The
loss to the Call Brook Company will amount
to about $4,000.

Ives Great Run.

The five nights billiard match between
Frank Ives and Thomas J. Gallagher, at
Days Academy. New York. ended last
night. Ives undertook to play 5000 points,
at the 14-inch balk line, against LOO by
Gallagher, and lost. He made 2,323 and was
beaten by ST. points. His play throughout
the contest has not been of the steady char
acter which has made him famous. His I'M
steadiness was manifested last night when
he accomplished the unprecedented run of
49, anchor barred. and yet only made $50
points In sixteen innings. But that run was
a revelation.

An Arrest for Obtaining CITIZENSHIP
Papers Under False Representation,


United States Marshal Pratt at Milwau-
kee recently received bench warrant from
the United States district attorney of Mary
land. calling for the arrest of Karl Franz
on charge of obtaining citizenship papers
under false representations. The warrant
was placed in the hands of detectives who
arrested Franz.
According to the testimony of the detec-
tives before the commissioner, Franz readi-
ly told the whole story, detailing how he
was to vote the democratic ticket and
when apprehended was furnished money
and means with which to come to MIlwau-
kee. 1t does not appear from the papers
what false Representations were made.
Commissioner Bloodgood considered the
evidence sufficient to hold the prisoner. and
fixed bail in the sum of 81 600. If it cannot
be furnished Franz will be taken back to
Baltimore
1t was stated during the examination that
there are likely to 6e scores of arrests in
Baltimore for the same crime Franz Is
charged with.

THE SHARON ESTATE.
Expiration of the Trust and the Heirs
Come to Their Own.

So"e 10 Own.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-The
Sharon trust expired by limitation today
and the heirs of the late VIM. Sharon will
now come into possession of their shares of
the big estate. Under the trust, the entire
property Of the dead millionaire In Califor-
MIA, Nevada, Ohio, Missouri. Illinois and
Washington, d. c., was conveyed to Fred
erick K. Sharon and Francis G.. Newlands
In trust for the heirs. Some years ago Fred
erick Sharon resigned as trustee and F. G.
Newlands has since been the sole trustee Of
the properties. If no other action had been
taken, there would have been no partition
of the real estate, and doubtless a sale of a
considerable portion of 1t. but the heirs have
long since provided against this, and the
immense estate will be managed in the fu.
ture just as 1t has been under the trust
with the slight difference that Francis G.
Newlands will no longer exercise trustees
authority over the property.
