Stocks Present n Firmer Front at
the Close of the Market.
New York, Dec. 2S-Speculation at the
stock exchange was comparatively quiet
to-day, the transactions for the two hours
of business amounting to only 12l, 5S1
shares in the first hour of trading
there was a disposition to sell the entire
list. and prices dropped anywhere from
a to per cent. Jersey Central, the Gran
gers, Louisville and Nashville, the South
westerns and Sugar being particularly
weak at this time on lower cables from
London, the action of the interstate COM
mission in declaring the new joint traffic
agreement between the Trunk lines in
their western connections Illegal, and the
belief that the chances for financial leg
islation at Washington were less bright
Baltimore and Ohio and Western Union,
however, presented a trmer front, the
former moving up point and the latter
2lk to S5%. The denial by Vice President
King of the Baltimore and Ohio of the
recent unfaVorable reports about the COM
pany, including the rumOr that the COM
pany proposed to part with its block of
Western Union, strengthened both the
stocks named. In the closing hour the
market took on a firmer tone on purchases
by shorts, who did not care to have any
contracts outstanding over Sunday. Ru-
mors that the treasury department might
issue a call for bond subscriptions at any
moment was an additional reason fer
purchases by the class ofetraders referred
to. Notably firm stocks in the last hour
were Western Union, Manhattan, Sugar
Louisville and Nashville the Changers and
the Southwesterns. Baltimore and Ohio
which had sold at "a at the opening fell
to 321a, but closed at S9d35. The market
left off firm in tone, with prices generally
Alto 1A per cent higher than at the close
yesterday Chicago Gas and Jersey Cen
trail lost %d1 per cent. The largest tran
sactions were in Sugar, 10 600 shares; St
Paul, 1880 shares, and Chicago Gas, TO-
800 shares. Bonds were higher. The sales
aggregated $4,000. The sales of listed
stocks aggregated 96,4S7 shares, and un-
listed stocks, 25, 04 shares.

WHEN THE WAR ENDED.
An Important Decision Rendered By
Assistant Secretary Reynolds, in
Washington.

Washington June 6.-Another decision
has been rendered by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds. bearing on the question of tn.
date of the termination of the civil war
aud the pensionable rights of soldiers
enlisting in 1850 and 1866 The conclusion
reached by Mr.. Reynolds is that in all
these cases the question to be ascer-
tanned whether the enlistment of the SOL
diers is for service in the war or the
rebellion. or for the regular army If
the former he is penSlonable, ana II the
latter he is not.
Mr.. Reynolds cites the various orders
Suspending enlistmentS for the war and
those ordering the commencement OF en-
listmentS for the regular army. he says:
LAS TO those volunteer enliStmentS IN the
regular army after the cessation OF armed
hoStilities it cannot be truthfully said
that their enlistment was for the war or
the rebellion"
in reference to the decision of the su-
preme court assigning August 70: 1900 as
the end of the war, he says: THE reas-
ons, however. which would admit OF this
holding where the right of the parties IN
the cases involved might be affected by
the running of a statute Of limitations.
cannot be accepted to establish the data
of termination of the war OF the reDeliion
where the questions involved are whether
an enlistment was in fact for the war or
the rebellion and the service performed
hereunder in furtherance OF It's suppress
sion."
The secretary, therefore, holds that en-
listments in the loyal states after April
Is, 1S65-when recruiting in them ceased
will not be deemed enliStmentS in or for
the war of the rebellion.
In the other states, territories ana the
District of Columbia, June 1, 1865. will be
taken as the final datS. as enl1stments
then ceased in those parts of the country,
and July l. 1866. when the blockade ;sl;9 OF OF
taken as the final date or war enlist
mentS for the navy.

THE NEW RAM.
Peculiar Boat Gives Promise of BE-
ing n Success.

Washington, June 6.-Naval officers
are much encouraged by the reports
which come to the navy department OF
the performance of the Ammen ram
Katahdin, at Bath, Maine. While no
official returns have been received, ii
is known that the builders of the queer
craft are making private trials of en-
gines and boilers and machinery gen.
orally, and as far as these have pro-
ceeded they are said to hold out the
promise that the ram will certainly
exceed the speed required of her by
contract-17 knots per hour. 1t was
found onthe first trial that her engines
were not working off all of the steam
which the boilers could generate, and
the builders of the boat were granted
permission to change the setting of
the valves SO as to permit of more
steam passing through the cylinders of
the triple expansion engine. This was
effected by delaying the cutting off OF
the steam to a. later point in the
stroke. The benefits of this change
were manifested. 1T is believed that
the boat will make at least Is knots
per hour. Owing to her peculiar model
she will be very much retarded by
rough water on her official trip.

BRIGHAM'S ESTATE.
JUDGE M'NALLY FIXES THE MAT
TER FOR HEARING.
Says the Executors Must Answer or
There VIII Be n Capias Issued
He Wishes it Understood That No
More FOOlishness Goes-Other
Cases In Probate Court Yesterday

Judge McNally yesterday announced
that he would cause the executors of
the estate of the late Brigham Young
to come into court and show cause
why they should not make an account
ing, if there was any law on the
pei their attention.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago notices were sent out by the
clerk, calling the attention of all eX-
ecutors and administrators to the fact
that estates in which they were in
terested, were not yet closed and or
dering them to at once come in and
finish the work. There have been sew
era1 responses to these notices but up
to date nothing has been heard from
the executors of the Brigham Young
estate.
The records of the court show that
the last order in the estate was made
several years ago and was the allow
ing and approving of an annual &C
count Since that time there has
nothing been entered to show that the
estate was ever closed and on the
basis that all DEGREES must be en-
tered and all accounts approved, judge
McNaIly will issue an order compel
ling the parties mentioned TO come IN
and show cause as stated.
at do not feel that I have been
treated exactly right in this matter,
said the judge yesterday. "All others
who were notified have either came
here and settled up the estates. or
made arrangements to do so. There
have been matters in connection with
property which have lain in the vaults
for years taken up and closed but
in this instance not a line has ever
reached me and I now propose, If
there is any law to be had in this
matter. to invoke it and compel these
parties to come in and make an &C
counting. That is all there is to 1t. l
said when I took charge of this othce
that when I left it the transactions
here would be in such shape as TO
enable my successor to go to work at
once with a clear docket and L mean
to adhere to my determination.
An order was issued calling on the
executors to come in on Thursday
next and show cause why they should
not be made to make an accounting.
In the estate of John Preece, an or

San Francisco, June Gin spite of
Frank Bucks statement that he can
prove, beyond question, that his father,
the late State Senator L, w. Buck, was in
Oakland at the hour when Miss Nellie
Harrington was murdered in her fiat last
Saturday, the chief of detectives is not
satisfied with the alibi. All who can
throw any light upon the movements of
Mr.. Buck on Saturday have been sub
pcenaed for the coroner's inquest to ne
held next Saturday. The coroner has
notified the detectives that at the inquest
he will demand all the letters of the
murdered woman, the police having inti-
mated that the correspondence has SEN
sational features. but declining to give
particulars for publication. The inquest
will probably be the end OF the case. AT
present there is no prospect that anyone
to discover any fact duplicating the mur-
dcrer, except the suspicious they have ex-
pressed concerning Senator Buck, who is
dead.

secret conference in the Auditorium
hotel at which NJ. c. Peter, of Louis
vile, presided and Charles P. Erich,
also Of Louisville, acted as secretary
Little was divulged of the proceedings
OF the meeting, but the shouts of an
cry voices, the biting of chairs and
occasional yells made anxious specta-
tors without surmise that matters Of
great moment were being discussed.
The object of the meeting was to
agree upon rebate system known as
the New England Wholesale Grocers
plan. According to this arrangement
all discounts are. paid into a common
treasury and are properly distributed

a certain amount and then a fixed re-
bate is allowed.
