VICTORY OF THE BULLS.
The Bears of wall street BADLY Gored
at Last.


Washington. May 1.-THE New York FL
nancier SAYS this week: "A continuance
of the boom in wall street, which has
surpassed the expectations OF the most
sanguine of bulls has had some effect
on the statement made by the associated
banks of this city for the week ending
May II. Loans show a healthy expansion
Of over 100000 bringing the total for
two weeks above $S,0o0.o0O. with the
chances decidedly in favor Of a stil heav-
Ter increase before the spring season ends.
But while the volume Of loans is growing,
money is also becoming more plentiful,
as the increase of Sl0,eSi,1OJ In deposits
and 81 S36. .525 in the total reserve shows.
This fact should not be lost sight OF i'm
the general satisfaction expressed over
the reaction from the period Of extreme
dullness which has marked the past two
years Money is still flowing TO New
York and while this may be accounted
for on the ground that trade settlements
are being made, II cannot be overlooked
that many country banks are Increasing
''The demand for money during the
week Just ended has been principally
from the south, a number of banks hav-
far from per cent. 1t would be idle to
claim that the country has thrown off
entirely the effects of the panic but the
revival in business, judging from the re-
ports made by the New York banks. has
been more than satisfactory and Is the
cause for general congratulation.
Not less than S50,000O00 in American Sc
curities have gone to Europe this spring
and the decline in foreign exchange rates
is the best proof that the tide has turned
in our favor The banks which advanced
the $1,000 900 in gold to aid the syndicate in
it's purchase of the last bond loan had 40
per cent. of the total returned to them
last week, although the transfer. involv-
ing at least $l2O00.000, was not made in
time to be reflected in the current bank
statement "

GERMAN SOCIALISTS ON TOP.
THE REICHsTAG REFLECTS THE BILL
AIMED AT THEM.

Every Paragraph in the Measure
MajOrity-Gen. Won ScheIIendOra
Lets out Information That Points
to n Cabinet Crisis-NIany of the
Deputies Leaving for Home in An
tfcipatiOn of Dissolution.
Berlin, May 1.-THE anti-socialist bill
was rejected in its entirety to-day. After
debate paragraph 1l2 was rejected. the
House refusing to adopt it in any form,
and in the subsequent division, all the
other paragraphs were rejected without
debate, by a very large majority.
Only the clericals voted for paragraph
112 in the form recommended by the COM
mission. The conservatives and national
liberals stood alone for the paragraph as
originally framed. After this second ad-
verse vote, Eugene Richter sprang to his
feet and exclaimed: I'VE might as well
dispose of the entire bill now and not
waste more precious time"
Frefherr Won Manteuffel rose from the
right Of the House to say that for once he
agreed with Deputy Richter. and there
fore would second his motion.
The House then rejected each successive
paragraph and finally the whole bill. The
next sitting of the Reichstag will be on
Monday.
The deputies left the house slowly after
the adjournment. Most of them stopped
every few steps to join groups in discuss
ing the events of the day.
Gen. Bronsart Won Schellendorff the
war minister, explained with animation to
a conservative group the apparent contra
dtctiOns between his recent declarations
and those made by Gen. Won Ittenbach in
the commission. The war minister un-
doubtedly let out a state secret or two
with his remarks: LAS Prussian minister
am obliged to declare the federal councils
paragraph indispensable, but / am not en-
titled to say this in behalf of the federated
governments" These words are regarded
as Indicating that there is a conflict in the
ministry.
The deputies from the southern and
western districts are delighted with the
prospect of a holiday and many are leaving
the city for their country homes this even
ing.
The anti-socialist bill does not appear in
the orders of the day for next Monday.

RUSSIA AND THE JAPa
Danger That the Two Empires May
Get Into n Fight.

AtN a.
Berlin, May 1.-THE Frankfurter Zei-
tung's ST. Petersburg correspondent says
a prominent official at the Russian capital
has expressed fear that ii is the intention
of the japanese government to defer the
conclusion Of definite arrangements for a
full and final settlement of its troubIs
with China. Europe, this official says. is
unable to prevent the menace of Japan,
and the present settlement is only tens
porary.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung also telegraphs
that re-enforcements of Russian troops
will shortly start for the far east in con-
sequence Of the persistence Of Japan in
temporary occupation of Port Arthur, her
rejection of other concessions and her
positive refusal TO limit her naval and
military forces. The Russian government
entertains a suspicion that England has
entered into an arrangement with Japan
by which she will obtain possession Of one
OF the Pescadore Islands.
Paris, May 1.-THE Soliel expresses fear
of further surprises, in the Chino-Japan-
ese situation and declares that much stil
remains to be settled before the troubles
can be considered at an end.

VICTORY FOR THE sEABOARD.
The Roads That Declared the Boy
colt Suing for Peace.

Norfolk, Va, May lit is possible that
the railroad war which has been waged
for some time past between the Seaboard
Air Line and the Southern Railway and
Steamship Association may soon come 20
an end. The latter is suing for peace, but
whether or not the terms which will be
proposed by the former will be acceptable
cannot as yet be said. Two Peass~ s1ss
voys, T. G. Bush, president of the Mo-
bile and Birmingham railroad, and W
w. Finley commissioner of the Southern
States Passenger Association, were in
Norfolk to-day in consultation with e.
St. John, vice president of the Seaboard
Air Line, with reference to cessation
Of hOstilities The exact outcome of the in
terview is not known, but enough has
been learned from Mr.. st. John to say
that peace overtures were made. In re-
ply to the overtures the Seaboard Air
Line representative stated that nothing
would be done until the boycott which
had been declared against that line had
been raised. This was considered by the
ENJOYS too much of a concession, but Mr..
St John was firm. The visitors next want
ed to know If the freight and passen-
ger rates which were in effect previous
to March / would be restored by the Sea-
board Air Line, but received no definite
The Seaboard Air Line has been very
determined in the fight and that they have
been somewhat successful is shown by
the above facts. 1t is thought that the
overtures made to-day are but the be-
ginning of the end and that when the
struggle is over, the Seaboard Air Line
will fly a banner with the word Victory"
indelibly stamped upon IL.
New York May 11.-Directors T. ]. Cool
idge and Thomas Newbold of the Kansas,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad are
expected in this city to conclude negotia-
tions looking toward securing joint cos-
troll of the Seaboard Air Line of the Easr
and West Alabama railroad and the eX-
tension of it to Birmingham Ala, in or
der to give the SeabOard line a western
outlet from Atlanta and the Memphis
line and eastern outlet from Birmingham.
The two roads will complete the link from
Atlanta to Birmingham and thus by CO.
operation secure a through line from
Kansas City to the Atlantic Coast Line.

soHwrNG's FATAL SHOT.
An Attempt 20 Prove CoIiusion with
His Wife.


His Wife.
New Orleans. May 1.-THE trial OF DR..
SchwiDg for killing DR. Hiriat last Sunday.
came off before the first recorder to-day.
The court was crowded with friends Of
both DR. Schwing and Hiriat. Mrs.
Schwing, about whom the killing occurred,
was not in court. Judge Walker, of the
counsel for the prosecution, asked for a
continuance of the case on the grounds
that he expected to prove collision be-
tween the husband and wife. The defense
viii probably set up a provocatiOn on the
part of DR.. Hiriat which will justify Dr.
SchWing'a action-that Is his action was
based on information of his wife's inhdel-
ity. The prosecution intends to show that
DR.. Schwing was fully aware Of the acts
of his wife, they were not of recent date
and were known TO every person in Pl9-
quemine, and that there was collusion on
the part OF wife and husband to betray
the unfortunate man so that he might be
killed with impunity. After some argu-
ment, the case was continued until Tues
day next, so the witnesses might be pres
put.
