SUGARS GOOD DAY.
Stocks Sold Up to the Best Prices
of the Week

New York. June g. Speculation at the
stock exchange was firm during the open
ing hour. In the initial trading business
was comparatively actively aud a higher
range of prices prevailed. The activity.
il it can be SO dignified, was the result Of
further covering of short contracts, there
having been little outside demand for Sc
curities. The firmness of the market is
still due to the belief that the currency
plank OF the Republican platform will be
eminently satisfactory to these favoEing
the gold standard. The absence of pres
sure of long ste ok also favors those work
ing for better prices.
Sugar sold up to i25, the best price of the
week, on the advance of 1 1-16 cents per
pound in refined. The impression is that
liquidation IN RI VS. is over and that refined
will steadily advance as usual during the
fruit season. At any rate brokers con-
nected with refining interests were again

tionally at the start, but near IL O'Clock.
when Reading ran off So TO 1-S, the
gain was lost. Sugar receded 5-8 To

market was dull and easier.
Sugar was raided down TO l23 5-8 after

1.-The premiums received on these policies
were large, and the losses were precisely
those within the contemplation OF the insur
ers. IL Is well known that the business ofin-
surance iseutered upon with tue expectation
that the premiums received will pay all
losses and yield a profit to the insurance
in addition; and yet without showing that
the business did not result in a profit to
those insurance claimants, 1t is proposed
that the government shall indemnify them
against the precise risks they undertook.
not wthstandiDg the fact that the money
appropriated is not to be paid except by
way or gratuity-payments as of grace and
not of right
The appropriations 70 indemnify against
insurance losses rest upon weaker grounds,
it seems to me, than those of owners: but
in the light of all the facts and ciIcum-
stances surrounding these spoilation claims,
as they are claimed. none Of them, in my
opinion, should be paid by the government.
THE LAST ITEM.
"Another item in this bill which seems
TO me especially objectionable is III appro-
priaiion in favor of Charles P. CLouteau.

faction OF all claims arising out OF the CON
structiou of the ironciad steam battery
Etah.
1.-THE contract for the construction of this
battery was made by the government with
Charles W. McCord during the war, and
he was to be paid therefor the sum OF
$3.50, 600. He was paid this sum and
S210,99l for extras. and in May, 1866,
gave his receipt in full.
1.-The assignee of McCord in bankruptcy
assigned to Chouteau and his associates in
1868 all claims of McCord against tire
United States for the precise extras for
which he had receipts in full two years be-
fore. Chouteau brought suit in the court of
claims for such extras and was defeated.
| cannot gather from the facts have been
able to gather concerning this appropria-
ton that it is Justified on any ground.
IN 1891 my immediate predecessor
vetoed a bill allowing the matter to be
examined again by the Court Of Claims
''If the additional pa yment proposed
in this bill was made, the cost Of the
batteryin in question would be almost double
that OF the contract price.
II have determined to submit this in
complete presentation of my objection to
this bill at once in order that the Congress
may act thereon without embarrassment

EXCISE BOARD APPEAL.
Mr.. Wolf Objects TO the AntLSalOon
Leagues Interference.

Mr.. Wolf Objects TO the ntLSuIoon
Leagues Interference.
An appeal was made this morning to the
excise board by Mr.. Simon Wolf, for u re-
consideration of the decision in the case
of Fred Miller. whose application for a
bar license at the corner of Eighth and D
streets northwest, was recently rejected.
Attorney Shoemaker, in behalf of the
uti-Saloon League. in response to Mr..
VOLTS argument. COntended that as the
case had been under considera ton for six
months or more and had been fnly in
vestigated, there was now no cause for
reopening the case.
THE Anti-saloon League is represented
here only upon sufferance," retorted Mr..
Wolf. You have ho rights before the
board 1T would secm,' he continued,
that the excise board is being run by the
Anti Saloon League"
Col. Bates, of the board, interrupted Mr..
Wolf at this point.
The excise board is run by no outside
influence, Mr. Wolf" was his comment.
Attorney Shoemaker concluded by say
ing that he believed the board had acted
i'll good faith, without prejudice to any
body's interests.
The original order OF the board requires
| Millef's saloon to close at midnight on the
| 10th instant, and the effort in-his behalf,
| in the event that the denial of his license
| is not rescinded. is to obtain an extern
| sion of time in which to close his business.
| The board granted license to Robert Il
| Key at No. AL Delaware avenue south
| west and approved of two transfers as fol-
lows:
| From Jeremiah O'Comell to Michael J.
| Cook No. 635 l. street northwest; from

to go on the stand at moments notice
This they will do in the county, but state
| ments have been made this morning silow-
| ing that many OF the witnesses will refuse
to 20 to Washington should an inquest
take place there.
OFFICIALS IN CONFERENCE.
Deputy Sheriff Horton Thompson went
TO Rockville early this morning to confer
with States Attorney kilsour and Sheriff
Collier.
He refused to tell anything about the pro-
posed inquest, saving he knew nothing.
He returned to Gaithersburg on the 8
O'Clock train and. together with Detect
ives PoIller and Scibold went into the

The two Baltimore detectives arrived in
Gaithershurg this morning and will renew

The funeral of little Sadie Buxton will
take place from the II. f. Church South,
and Rev. Dr. Lloyd, the pastor, who has
| worked So assiduously 10 run down her

cred unnecessary delay.
The grand jury does not convene until

against the heavy expense of holding SC
| many witnesses until then.
There were two more arrests early this
morning by Deputy Sheriff Thompson. They
were witnesses, one of whom is Joe Brooks,
negro who visited the Neale house the
evening before the murder.
This makes in all under arrest now as
witnesses eight persons, the expense OF

Owing to the feeling at Gath ersburg anC
