Stock Traders at First Bearish, But
Soon Turned Buck

New York, Jan. 2S.-After substantial
gains at the opening the general stock
market declined Ia 10 "a per cent, Man.
Gas leading. The traders were inclined
to be little bearish bccaGse of the action
yesterday of the Senate on the Armenian
question.
When it was found, however, that Lon
don was picking up st. Paul, Louisville,
and Nashville and Reading stock and tonds,
local operators changed front and bought
back their stocks. The early decline in
Chicago Gas 10 Ga 81 was due 10 the
action of the city council of Chicago re-
quirnC the gas companies of the city to
turn over 10 the city treasurer ali money
in their possession deposited by consumers
as security.
In the advance which took place near 1
O'Clock Sugar, st. Paul, Reading and Con-
solidated Gas were most prominent. Sugar

favorable statement for December and the
progress making in the work of rcorgan-
izing the property. At l 1 a. III. the market
was firm.

slight, and at noon speculation was q shade

MIR. MOoRE'S WIDOW TESTIFIES.
More Evidence Offered in the Well
Known VIII Case.

In the contest made by the heirs of the
late James F. Moore against Mrs. Annie
L. Barbour to recover a share in the estate
of their grandfather. the late David Moore,
on trial before Judge McComas, Mrs. Budger,
one of the daughters of James F. Moore, to-
day concluded her testimony.
Mrs. Sarah C. Moore, widow Of Mr.
Moore, then testified. She was married
in January. 1857, and knew her husbands
father for a short tine before that. She al
WAYS thought him man of very weak in
tcllcct and like Il child in his passions.
If he wanted anything he storned until
he got it. He frequently cursed his wife.
In fact, ii was so common for him TO curse
Mrs. Moore that nobody paid any attention
to it.
She went to take dinner with Mrs.
Moore one day. As she went into the
house. her fathcr.n-law remarked:
The old womans going to die, amt
she?''
II is manner was that of any ordinary
statement. He showed no feeling what
ever. Her personal relations with him
were always kiadIy, She was always
respectful to him, as 4 daughter should be.
He was always liStlcsS, and she never
knew him to do any work in his life. She
had seen him sit with the paper in his
hands, but never knew him to read. She
never knew him to write.

A HOT DISCUSSION AROSE
House Considered the Resolution
for an Additional Employe.
Mr.. Stone Resented Taunt From Mr..
Mills and Announces the Purpose
of the Republicans.

In the House today Mr.. Fletcher called
up and the House passed the bill granting
right of way to the Brainerd and Northern
Minnesota Railroad through the Leech Lake
and Chippewa IEdian reservations, in Min
nesOta.
joint resolution was passed authoriZ-
Ing officers aud enlisted men of the army
who are members OF the Sons of Veterans
to wear the badge of that organization on
all occasions of public ceremony
The consideration OF the resolution re-
ported yesterday from the Committee on
Accounts, by Mr. Odeli, pra wing for the
employment Of an additional employe in
the Document room. gave riseto discussion
OF the increase Of force.
Mr. Dockery read statement showing
that aside from the clerks to the two addi-
tional election committees, there had al
ready been nominal increase Of seven men
in the force Of the employees, at an annual
expense of about 900.
Mr.. Richardson objected to the assump-
ton made by the committee in its report
that the enploye was necessary because OF
the provisions of the printing bill; that mea
sure was innocent in that regard,
w A. Stone defended the resolution, and
for the necessity OF the appointment.
In the course OF the discussion, the case
of Major Coombs, an Old Democratic EN-
poyc, who was retained under a Iesoiu-
ton OF the Committee on Accounts, came
in, and Mr.. Miles rather tainted Mr.. Stone
that, according to statements made by
Republican members, his place could not
be. filled.
To this Mr.. Stone retorted that the Re
pubicans would try to do If they were
given time. I'm tired" he said, of hav-
ing it thrown in our faces that we are
spending public money to pay employees APP
pointed by the Democrats. and l do not
think We ought to afford the Democrats
this opportunity any longer than is neces-
sary." After further debate the resolution
reported from the committee was agreed
to.
on motion of Mr.. Hit the House went
into Committee OF the Whole, Mr.. Grosvenor
in the chair and took up the diploma tic and
consular appropriation bill. Mr.. Hit ex-
planned the provisions of the bill, which,
as Mr.. McCreary stated. was, with a few
necessary changes, the same bill that Is on
the statute books for the current year.
Mr. MCCrcarv added that inh his opinion every
change made in the bill was essential to
the welfare of the public service nd that
the Committee on Foreign Affairs unan
imously agreed to The report.

Mr.. Foraker is an object of considerable
interest 10 several Presidency seekers at

of all the other aspirants at this time, but
his fate. In a large degree, is in Forakers
hands. and a goodfinany OF McKinley's
friends are suspicious of Foraker. The be-

CRY FOR FAIR PLAY.

CRY FOR FAIR PLAY.
Fair play is the cry OF all. Even those
who admit they VIII resort to repeating
and ballot-bOX stuffing excuse their inten =
tiuns on the ground that the whole cleo
ton Will be scramble without the guard
Of law or protection. The Holland and Key
men say they viii vote but once and with
perfect honesty. At least this is the prom
Use of The leaders.
A review. however, of the entire field,
demonstrates that when once the voting be-
gins the voters will be carried away by the
enthusiasm, so long restrained by disfrau-
chiscment, and will vote as often as they
can without detection.
A further demonstration of the popularity
of a combination between Gleason and Car
son was had when ten thousand tickets
bearing those names appeared at all the
headquarters. No one, however knew
where they had come from. Col. Gleason
said he had nothing Ia do with it; he was
for Bailey and Bailey only. Bailey has
declared himself for Reed, and Carson to-
day announced before his people that ALI
son was his choice.
Saunders people are crying fraud and
say Carson has formed a secret COM
pact with Gleeson, and Bailey showed he
was suspicious that GlecSon had not acted
on the square. In fact, harmony does
not prevail in these two camps and bet
ting is said TO be in favor of Carson and
GIceson, as OF old, and Nauck and Brooks.
SMALL RIOT AT SAUNDERS HEAD
QUARTERS.
Something akin to a small-siZed riot
was precipitated about the Saunders head
quarters in the Ohio National Bank Building
this morning.
A large crowd of voters had gathered to
procure their ballots and instructions. Each
was pushing and crowding aud a number
OF blows were exchanged.
Three policemen We're called to quell the
disturbance and two Officers stationed at
the door to keep back the surging mob. 1t
is claimed that friends of opposing candi-
dates instigated the trouble to cast a re-
Election upon the Saunders contingent.
Some went away with bloody noses and
black eyes, but no arrests were made.
Anew of the Saunders workers were shout
ing then about victory, but the majority
were crying fraud" 1t is claimed that at
the last hour Il combination has been made
by GIeeson and Carson which will work to
the decided disadvantage of Saunders, who,
il is stated, has furnished the money for
the Carson campaign.
Many threats are made and loud denunci-
atoms were heard OF Col. Carson's alleged
trca cherry.
A standing price of $50 per head, it is
stated, has. been placed upon the judges,
and they are accepting the offer. Saun-
ders' people predict trouble.

Columbia. She sang the first part of the
opera, when suddenly the curtain was
lowered. For ten minutes there was no
explanation. Then the manager went
before the curtain and announced that
Miss Russell was i'll. The audience left
the theater.
On Tuesday and Wednesday Miss Rus.
sell took a rest. She did not appear at
the matinee yesterday, outstanding her
strength for the evening performance.
The curtain was raised at the usual hour
and the prima donna tripped upon the
stage as if she were equal to any emer-
gency. When the time came for her to
sing she began beautifully, but in few
moments there was a silence broken only
by the orchestra. The musical director
looked at the singer. The audience looked
on, not knowing what it meant. There
was look of astonishment on the face of
Miss Russell. The curtain was dropped
and the manager appeared. He announced
that Miss Russell's voice had given out
and that she would be unable sto sing.
The audience got their money at the box
office.
When seen by a reporter she said her
Inability to sing was only temporary and
that she did not intend to leave the stage.
MY vocal chords refused to respond to-
night" she said, "and for that reason I
was unable to utter a high note. Twas
hoarse from the work that 1 have been
doing for. the last ten days, singing sew

gates to the NJ. E. General
Conference.
Preparatory Steps Taken to Elevate
Coiored Clergymen in the
Episcopacy.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 1.-The Gen
eralC onference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, to remain in session for q
month, was called to order in the Central
Armory this morning at o'clock. Bishor
Bowman, the oldest Methodist Bishop
opened with brief devotional exercises
The roll was called and the delegates
recognized and seated. The usual com
mittees were then appointed.
There are four accredited women dele
gates to the conference. Their admission
will cause one of the hottest fights ever
waged in the conference. The woman
question anne up Immediately after the
appointment of the committees, and the
battle then began.
The woman question was first preached
during the rollcall. When the name O.
Lydia A. Trimble was called, the oppo
nents OF the admission of women made
their opposition and moved that the name
be taken from the rolls until it was ascer-
tanned whether the person named was
member of the conference or not.
Bishop Bowman refused to entertain the
motion on the ground that the conference
was not yet organized. The announce
ment was greeted with applause by the
champions of the women's cause. The
Rev. DR.. Monroe was elected secretary.
The woman question was precipita.ed
by the Rev. DR.. Buckley of New York
who read a challenge signed by prom inent
opponents OF women.
1t gave twelve reasons why women
should not be recognized, prominent
among them being the refusal of previous
conferences to recognize them.
1t was moved that committee on eligi
bility be appointed to determine the eligi
bility of the four women delegates and
that the committee report Monday morn
| ing.
| At to-night's session the principal sub
| ject discussed was the negro claim to rep
reseniation in the episcopacy. Although
no official action was taken, it may bt
stated with certainty that an assistant
bishop to Bishop faylor of America will
| be appointed from the African NJ. E
Church, and that In addition to his dutie.
in Africa, he will have partial jurisdiction
| in the Southern States of the Union. Thi.
will be the preparatory step to the eleva
ton of colored clergyman to a full sea
in the episcopacy. =
