NEW YORK, June 14.-Speculation was
somewhat irregular during the first hour

able in all parts of the list. The volume of
business in railway shares reflected some
falling off. but the main features of the
situation were unchanged.
The advance in the grangers has result
ed in more cautious operations. many
conservative traders incline to the belief
that all the favorable features of the I'M
mediate outlook have been fully discount
ed. While this may be true at the moment,
it Is probable that future advices from the
west will inspire renewed confidence IN the
grain-carrying roads.
Manhattan was the feature of the day.
opening up Is per cent higher than last
nights closing, ex the regular quarterly
dividend of 1A per cent. This sharp re-
covery of its dividend was due to rumors
that the Westinghouse Electric Company
had been given the contract to equip the
road electrically. The subsequent denial of
the rumors by prominent director of the
Manhattan Company resulted in decline
of per cent from first prices.
Negotiations pending looking to the
substitution of electricity for steam, but
all statements as TO the date of such sub
stitution and the warding of the contract
are at present premature. Western Union

The recent report of earnings made by
this company is encouraging a revival of
investment buying.
The securities of the Southern railroad
while barely steady in today's market, have
been literally bought during the last few
days by prominent inside interests. This

The market for foreign exchange rules

necessitates sales by the syndicate banks

Rights on water s,rcct

1t Is more than probable that the recent
order of the Commissioners directing the
occupants of certain wharves along Water
street to vacate same within ten DAYS and
remove all .obstructions in the line of that
street will be vacated 1t will be recalled
that the attorneys who represent the
property interests along Water street ap-
peared before the Commissioners several
days ago and urged that the order be re-
voked. for the reason that former boards
of Commissioners had agreed to let the
question of ownership of Water street re-
main in statu quo until the whole question
is settled by the Supreme Court, which will
hear case in point next October 1t is
understood that the attorney for the Dis
ferred, will recommend that the Conmis-
sioners take no action to enforce the recent
order in view of the present condition of
affairs.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

Red Men There Are Generally Wen to
Do and Intelligent.
The bill that passed Congress on March
ritory has resulted in some complications.
In order To straighten these out C. B. Stew
art. judge of the United States court of the
central district of the territory; S. NJ.
Rutherford. marshal of the northern dis
trict, and F. S. Genung, chief deputy mar
shall of the central district, have arrived
here to confer With the officials of the gov
ernrlent.
There seems to be wrong idea in the
east said Mr.. Rutherford to Star re-
porter today, regarding the condition of
Indians in Indian territory. We have there
some of the finest school houses of the
west. and the Indians are intelligent and
progressing. There is great deal of in
termarriage between the Indians and the
whites. especially in the Cherokee and
Chocktaw tribes. White men can take no
part in territorial affairs unless they are
allied to the Indians by marriage, and,
doubtless this fact has played a part in
increasing such marriages.
by the way, the Indians are becoming,
in many instances very well to do in this
worlds goods. For instance the members
of the Usage tribe in Oklahoma are esti-
mated to be worth 5000 each, In the in
terest they have in the funds being held
by the government Then they are irdi-
vidually we'll to do. Taking into considera-
ton the government fund being held for
them. and their property in the territory
their wealth averages about $4,000 each"

Things went bad with me. I was on the
wrong side of the market, and simply got
deeper and deeper. 1 had to keep on SELL

DID NOT APPEAR IN COURT.
Department Clerks Arrested for viO-

Department Clerks Arrested for ViO-
lnting the Edmunds Act.
The first case under the Edmunds law
brought against persons in the government
employ was in Judge Miller's court today,
but the parties charged did not appear, and
their collaterals were forfeited. The par
ties whose names appeared on the paper
charging the offense of fornication are
George Maxwell, said to be an examiner in
the patent office. and Annie lyman, who
does clerical work in the mailbag repair
shop on C street. William H. Main Of AT
G street northwest made complaint to the
officers last week, as published in The Star
at the time. When the prosecuting attorney
heard the evidence in the case he conclud-
ed that he did not have proof enough to
warrant his taking the case into court and
that an investigation was needed before an
arrest could be made. and the parties tried.
Detective Proctor at once proceeded to
make an investigation. He was assisted by
Detectives Rhodes and Gallaher. They WIS.,
note the condition of the communicating
rooms occupied, and each time, according
to their report. only one bed showed evil
dence of having been occupied.
A Midnight Arrest.
Yesterday Mr.. Main swore out a warrant
for the couple, and last night Detectives
Proctor and Gallaher went to he house and
made the arrests. On their visits to the
house one or more of the officers, it is
said. climbed on the roof, from where they
could see through the window into the
room. 1t was after II o'clock last night
when the two detectives went to the room
and opened the door with a duplicate key.
They state that the couple were guilty,
sleeping side by side.
When they reached the police station
Maxwell was unable at first to leave col
lateral for the appearance of Miss lyman
and himself. Fortunately for him he found
some one willing and able to cash a check
for him. He then left $50 for himself. while
the woman was released on S15 collateral.
Maxwell gave his age as twenty-five
years, while Miss lyman said she was
nineteen. They have no relatives here, SO
1t is said, and have known each other for
some time. Maxwell, it Is said, was prom
inent in church and mission work, and had
many friends in religious circles.
Did Not Appear In Court.
Further than the facts stated, the off,
GERS had no proof against the couple. A
charge brought against a young couple
found under similar circumstances, was
dismissed by Judge Miller few days ago.
When the case of Maxwell and Miss
lyman was called for trial today they fail
ed to appear, and their collaterals were
forfeited.
Complaint has been lodged against sew
eral other couples. including two who are
in the departments, and the cases are be-
ing Investigated.
