market being apparently without sup
port save from the buying to cover
shorts. The violence OF the break and
the attendant circumstances recall the
Venezuelan episode of last December,
and it would seem that the street was
to some extent influenced by the MEM
cries of that occasion, and were thus.
possibly, disposed to exaggerate the
danger of the situation, either as re-
CARDS its political consequences or it's
effect on prices, either here or in London
Up to the moment that this development
appeared sentiment was apparently
changing for the better and prices
toward the close of the week displayed
more or less improvement. mainly on
covering by the short interests. Infor-
nation from Washington seemed to
minimize the chances for anything being
done there in the Cuban matter prior to
the recess of congress. Indeed. the fact
that that body will suspend its sessions
next Tuesday for an entire fortnight,
coupled with additional indications that
no important legislation can be carried
through at the short session, was re-
ceived in Wall street with evident signs
of relief
Large speculative interests, particu-
larly those which receive their inspira-
ton from Washington, undoubtedly
took advantage of the depressed state
of the market early in the week and COW
cred extensive short lines. The follow
ers. who were mainly recruited from
among home traders, finding the market
oversold, supplied buying power which
caused the Improvement already noted,
while bull pools in various special stocks
took advantage of the circumstances to
renew their activity, though these ten
denotes were all reversed, of course, by
the sudden change in the Cuban situa-
ton on Friday. Reports that gold is
likely to go to Germany next week,
though supported by the strength of the
exchange market, particularly for conti-
mental exchange, seemed to have little
or no speculative influence. The impress
sion in banking circles is that any gold
exports at present would be small and
that. moreover. a further advance in
sterling would bring on the market part
of the very large amount of bills now
held here on loans. On the street. while
these considerations have weight, they
are less important than the fact that
the banks and the treasury are both able
to stand a small drain with ease and the
fact that the rates for money have com
pared so favorably with those prevalent
in London is also not without it's force

cret during the session, but some of tbs
details have leaked out. Rev. Frank
F. Passmore of Denver was convicted of
immortality and unministerial and un-
christian conduct, and was excluded
from the Methodist ministry. The most
specific charges brought against the
preacher accused him almost of bias
phemy in his utterances and writings
concerning the marriage of the rich cat

Bishop Warren, whose episcopal resi-

CYRUS FIELDS SON

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Edward Morse
Field, eldest son of the late Cyrus w.
Field, was arrested last night in a car
stable. He was talking loudly and ges-
ticulating violently, and a policeman
took him into custody under the impress
sion that he was crank. He was
charged with intoxication and made no
defense. But an attorney for the Field
family appeared for him and secured his
discharge by explaining that Field was
not in his right mind.

AssEMBLYMAN GEORGE w WILSON JOINS
THE M'KINLEY RANKS.
HIS ACTION NOT CAUSED BY THE SIGNING Or
THE CONSOLIDATION BIIL.-OBEDIENCE TO

HIS ACTION NOT CAUSED BY THE SIGNING OF
TIE CONSOLIDATION BII.I-oBEDIENcE TO
OVERWHELMING SENTIMENT.
Assemblyman George W Wilson. three weeks
ago n loyal supporter Of Governor Morton in his
Presidential aspirat tions, now says he Is for
Governor Mckinley. He was one Of the first Re-
publicans in the State to declare his readiness to
work for Governor Morton. but recent occur
rences. especially the actions Of many State Con-
ventions in indorsng Mckinley have convinced
him, he says. that Mckinley is the favorite
candidate of the people and should be nominated
Assemhyman Wilson says he has the greatest
respect for Governor Morton personally. He does
not feel however. In view of the fact that Nc
Kinley Is almost unanimously demanded by the
States where "favorite sons are not seeking sup
port. that he Is disloyal at the present time in
saying that he hopes to Mckinley win at st.
Louis. ard confidently expects that ne will win.
Assemblyman Wilson was one Of the hardest
workers in the Assembly against the Greater
New-York bill. He hoped that the measure would
be beaten. and when it finally passed he was
greatly disappointed. He says. however. that the
Governors signature CT the bill has not nhu-
enced him at the present time. because he con-
siders the consolidation bill back number and
believes it should not be allowed to have any eff
feet upon the decision Of a question not closely
connected with II.
Mr.. Wilson has not taken ar active part in the
formation OF the Mckinley League OF the IVth
Assembly District but the movement has his full
sympathy. Fully 90 per cent OF the Republican
voters In the district are for Mckinley
The present week will be an important one in
the formation Of the Mckinley League. With
or two exceptions. the Assembly District
branches have been organized, and the next thing
In order will be the perfection Of the county or
ganization. Thomas Fitchie. Chester b. Law
renee. Andrew Jacobs and John J. McGinniss
who attended the meeting OF the State League in
NewYOrk City on Friday evening brought back
with them additional enthusiasm which while
not needed. will serve I, strengthen the movement
in Kings County. The leagues are being formed
In Brooklyn campaign organizations, and 1t Is
now apparent that the heaviest part of the cam
paign work In Brooklyn will be done by them.
II Is not believed in Brooklyn that Governor
Morton will withdraw a candidate. Mayor
Wurster says that. when he saw the Governor
last. Mr. Morton said that he did not intend to
withdraw and the Assemblymen and Senators
also say that it Ia likely that his name will be pre-
sented at 81. Louis unless Mckinley Is selected by
accamation before ar opportunity is allowed for
New-YOrk TO name a candidate
