NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, August 2S.-The trans

moderate scale, were fairly well dis
tributed with the activity in spots. For
the first time the market appeared to

improving financial outlook which is
chiefly based on the substantial gold
imports and the implied relaxation of
the present stiffness in money and in
the commercial paper market. To-
days incoming steamer brought ST.

deposited in the sub-treasury in eX-

now familiar conditions were further
weakness in the exchange market and
a distinctly firm money market, al
though the bulk of the laons on call
were made at or below seven per cent.
The market had sagged slightly from
the early top figures on the increased
tension in money rates, aside from
Manhattan and Tobacco which yielded
I and 70 per cent, respectively. Later

OPERA SUNG IN ITALIAN
Crispino la Comare Is
Given at the Standard
Theater.
A Work in Which Several Local
Performers Distinguished Them.
selves.

A well-known Italian opera, "Crispino
la Comare," was rendered last night at
the Standard Theater by company of local
Italian performers, headed by G. Panizza.
There was a good audience present and
the singers were greeted with frequent ap-
plause.
The opera is one of the old school, with
plenty of melody, and, like all the old
operas, it gives the performers plenty of
opportunities for displaying vocal agility.
Mrs. Flora Peterman, the prima donna,
was stranger to most OF the audience,
and il was very evident from her acting
that she was unused to appearing on the
stage, but the way in which she took ad-
vantage OF her vocal opportunities won
her the warmest applause. She has a
sweet, flexible voice OF the soprano-leg-
giero order. which in its f1ute-like quality,
recalls Emma Nevada's. Mrs. Peterman
has not at present the training and expe-
rience of prima donna, but she showed
last night that the possibilities are there,
and when she shook off her nervousness
and lost some of her tremolo her singing
was very charming.
G. PaniZza, the Crispino of the cast. is
well known here as an excellent artist
Last night he was the mainstay of the
whole performance. He sang and acted
his own part with all the verve and finish
of the experienced opera singer that he is
He also appeared to know everyone else's
role as well as his own, for when a ner-
yous amateur heSitated for want of word
or musical phrase Panizza always came
to the rescue before he was lost, and in one
or two cases he took up a lost thread of
dialogue with such ready wit that the
house laughed and applauded.
The story of "Crispiuo la Comare"
tells how poor Venetian cobbler was
befriended by sort OF fairy sodmother.
With her assistance he was enabled to pose
most successfully as great doctor, for
whenever the patient was going to die the
fairy godmother appeared, and when she
stayed away Crispino could safely predict
recovery. After subduing the opposition
of the learned doctors, whose diagnoses he
proved to be wrong, Crispino finally fell
from his successful position through his
wife, who grew jealous of the fairy, and for
the sake of domestic peace he foreswore
the "Comare" and returned to his cob
bler's bench.
As Fabrizio, despotic doctor. who
finally bowed to Crispino's wisdom. e..
Almagia sang and acted exceIIently. He
was one of the performers who was per-
fectiy at ease on the stage and who made
the most of his part. g. Bertino did good
work as Tuscan nobleman and the other
parts were satisfactorily taken by G. Di-
Grazia, A. Grella, A. Biagi, f. Daniele and
Lilly Douglass.
The male chorus did very efficient work.
Among those comprising it were: G. Mac
cagno, A. Garbini, J. Caprile. Y. Franchi

SEATTLE, WASH. July 5.-MaIor
George C. Reid, q. S. N, Adjutant In
spector of the Marine Corps, arrived at
Seattle tonight via the Canadian PACING
from Washington city.
His trip West is of great deal OF i'm
portance to the Pacific Coast, especially
Puget Sound. After making hurried
visit to the Government marine sta

place he goes tomorrow on the

chard, where he will locate garrison OF
100 marines. This done the lnspectoe
will proceed to San Francisco and make
his annual inspection of the garrison at
Mare Island.
81 regard the Puget Sound naval station
as of great Importance" Major Reid said
in discussing the question OF coast DE-
fense, las it is the only one on the Paclhc
coast between San Francisco and SItKa,
being also on the border of the British
possessions. 1t should really have 300 ma
rines from the very start.
"The question OF the coast defenses,
the Nj ajor continued, "is one of vital i'm
portance, and the Pacific Coast is fortunate
in having so able and earnest an advocate
of such matters as United States Senator
Squire at the head of the Committee on
Coast Defenses.
1.-The running appropriation, involving
nearly $4,000 900, part of which Is now
available for coast-defense purposes, was
secured mainly through the efforts of Sen
ator Squire"
Major Reid said the Government is con-
sidering the advisability of establishing
an army post in Alaska, possibly on ths
Yukon. 1t is the intention of the in
spector to have 100 marines, all of whom
will be taken from Eastern stations,
transferred to the Puget Sound station as
soon as he returns East.

Sought For.

HENLEY Y-oN-THAMES, Enc, July 81
The weather to-day was clear and very
warm, but so far as known the heat has
had no appreciable effect on the mem bers
of the Yale crew, who are all well.
No work was done by the Americans
to-day, all the men resting after their
weeks practice, and nothing unusual oc-
curing they will go to the starting line as
fit as any crew who start in the race for
the Grand Challenge cup, in the FIRST trial
heat of which on Tuesday the Leander
and Yale crews will contest against each
other.
There has been no betting OF note on
the event. Some Yale men are willing to
take odds of to against the Americans
winning,
The preliminary work OF the crew has
been practically finished, and the men say
that tomorrow they will only do a little
light work to keep them selves in shape for
the strain of Tuesday.
Many visitors arrived to-day, and the
usual fashionable Henley crowd will be
present to witness the racing.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 5.-Fred
Bennion, we'll known among life insurance
men of this city and San Francisco, has
found it convenient to fold his tent and
steal silently away to Lower California,

? He has been known here for some months
asithe "Lightning Life Insurance Agent"
H. e. Maxson of the Mutual Life says that
Fred could do as much business in one
week as the average canvasser could in six
months. But he has gone where insur-
ance men trouble not the populace, and
several creditors are now wondering
where he is at"
In addition TO a popular tailoring firm
and an astute local hotel manager, one

Bennion's first work on this coast was for
A. Il. Forbes of the Mutual Life at San

to this city and soon afterward slit out'a

linquency TO Local Manager Maxson.
Then he engaged with the Equitable

MONTEREY, CAL, July 5.-Early this
morning when the sailors and soldiers
were over-jolly, a visitor from Pacific
Grove became entangled with one of the
blueiackets. One word followed another,
when presently the sailor reeled under a
blow. Jack was plueky and jumped up
like flash at his enemy. BE got the best
of the fight, at which the citizens friends
took hand in the row. There happened
to be about 200 or 300 of Uncle Sans
men on the ground, and Immediately they
banded themselves together and drove
back the attacking party. Numbers in
creased in the opposition so that the citi-
zens had strong mob, but the sailors
knew their business and with the soldiers
they won battle which was not on the
bill. Some cut heads and bruised faces
were the result, as the army and navy was
overpowering and did not wish to carry
the fight farther than q omparatively
peaceful victory.
The fight was brought about by an

The services were more than ordinarily
impressive, a marked feature of special in

at Preside Athletic Park.
About 600 people witnessed pretty con-
test at Presidio Athletic Park yesterday,
in which the Imperials defeated the Paci-
fics by score of 9 to 2.
Pitcher Mccarthy was on hand to off,
ciate in the box for the Paciics, but Kelly
of the Imperials regained his old form and
held down his opponents in great style.
Not run was scored on either side until
the third inning, when the ImperiaIs
punched four hits and got three men
around. The Pacifics, however, got two
runs in their half of the third, added two
more in the fourth, and apparently
clinched the game by culling an addi-
tional three in the sixth.
The Imperials, however, then got on
their mettle and piled up five tallies in the
seventh and eighth. To put clincher on
the game they added another in the final
inning.
Kelly and Mccarthy tielded their posi-
tions excellently, and Monahan made the
star plav OF the game in the fifth, when he
captured a high liner from Kelly's bat.
McDermott made a great one-hand catch
in the seventh. Score:

regiment and both sides fought with de-
termination. Almost from the beginning
the sailors and soldiers had the mastery
and slowly they forced the mob backward,
fighting every inch of the way with their
fists. 1t was such a manly display that
the officers said, "Let them fight it out. T"
So the battle continued until the mob
had been driven backward about a block
over what afterward proved to be bloody
street. The chief special policeman was
twirled about like baton in the hands of
a drum-major. and his best suit of clothes
was ruined. The officers could only look
on until the battle was over.
