LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Another Apportionment Act in In
diana Declared Invalid.
LAW OF 1885 NOW OPERATIVE
Special Session of the Legislature
Suggested.
WILL NOT BE CALLED

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January 30-The
supreme court this afternoon declared in
valid the legislative apportionment Of 1895.
passed by republicans. The case came up
from Sullivan county and involved the ap-
portionment .act also of 1893, passed by
democrats. This also goes down as uncon-
stitutional. By a former decision the ap-
portionment of 1891 and 1879 were found in
valid.
Todays decision makes it necessary to go
back to the act of 1885, which is the last
Rpportionment act passed that has not
been successfully attacked.
The decision suggests that special ses-
sion of the legislature might be called to
remedy the situation. which has become
chaotic by today's decision. The legislature
is republican, and Gov. Matthews has said
that he would not call it together.
The act of 1885 now found to be in force
was passed by a democratic legislature.
The republicans will probably file suit
attacking it, The hold-over senator's elected
under the law of 1895 are not disturbed by
the decision. There are three opinions, one
of which is quasi dissent.

Speculative List.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, January 3o.-The improved
outlook for concerted action In the anthra-
cite coal trade was responsible for the
strength of the entire speculative lists this
morning. The report of the subcommittee
appointed at last weeks meeting of the
presidents Of the several properties in in
terest, will be entirely satisfactory in its
distribution of tonnage. Concessions were,
OF course, essential to harmony, but
In 70 instance were they proportionate to
probable results. Readings demands have
been modified. it is understood, twenty and
one-half per cent of the total output being
accorded the property instead of the twen-
ty-one per cent originally demanded. The
success Of the reorganization of this road
was largely dependent upon settlement Of
all differences relative to the apportion-
ment of tonnage and no effort has been
spared TO accomplish this result. With
Reading affairs in business shape the en-
tire anthracite coal industry should enter
upon a season of protracted prosperity.
The demand for Reading and Jersey Gen.
trail during the day was credited to the
strongest financial interests in the street.
An effort TO have the committees report and
suggestions operate over a period of four
teen months from February next, resulted
in decided negative vote, and prices mo-
mentarily yielded to the failure to sustain
the report.
Another vote on a six months period will
be taken later in the day, however, with
every prospect of success. The course OF
prices in the general market indicated the
presence of powerful influence not visible
on the surface.
The movement which preceded last Feb
ruafy's bond transaction WAS in many in
stances identical to the one now In process,
and, in the opinion of many, both move
ments were originated by the same bank
ing establishment
With the trading element long of stocks
TO the full extent of its capacity the sus-
tanned Improvement of the past week would
have been impossible without the assistance
OF strong and experienced ally. Some
realizing Is still expected before the close
of Saturdays business, but all OFFERINGS
are assured of a ready market.
The money market has not taken on any
alarming symptoms of impending strin-
gency, and bankers hope for a complete
avoidance of tight money scare. Caution
is everywhere noticeable, however and
accommodations are confined almost ex-
cirSlNely to immediate needs. The market
tor foreign exchange was again dull at I'M
charged rates.
The supply of bills continues good and is
fully equal to the demand.
The trading of the las; hour was moder-
ately active, and at prices slightly under
occasioned by the failure of the coal presi-
dents to agree on the time period was
largely responsible for this reaction. Jer-
sey Central broke 3R per cent on a few
hundred shares, and unfavorahly Influenced
the entire list. At the close of business
oorhdence in an ultimate agreement was
Tot shaken outside of the professional ele-
ment.

ALL THAT IS NEEDED.
The Senate Committees Resolution of
sympathy With Cuban Insurgents.

=
sympathy With Cuban Insurgents.
A member of one of the congressional
committees having to do with foreign af-
fairs, no is strongly in sympathy with the
Cubans, said to a Star reporter today that
the benefit that would come to the Cuban
rebels through the recognition of their
helliEerency by this country was prob
lernatic.
The chief benefit would be the moral eff
feet of such an expression of sympath
and this. he said. is just as strong in the
resolution adopted by the Senate foreign
affairs committee. The next important
benefit would be that if the insurgents had
armed vessels on the high seas they would
not be regarded and treated as pirates
They would have the same right to enter
our ports as the vessels Of other nations
may.
This would be Offset by the recognition Of
their belligerency, giving Spain the right of
search and to blockade the Cuban ports
The Cubans have no vessels to be benefited
and as a mere matter of commerce there is
nothing now to interfere with their Ship
ping arms and ammunition from this cCun-
try as merchandise.
Il is only an armed expedition which
they may not fit out in this country If
they had the rights of belligerency they
could not fit out armed expeditions or con-
struct vessels of war in this country.
The recognition of their bellgerency by
Spain would be a benefit by giving them
the rights of civilized warfare. 1t would
Insure inc D6Helll Ol tuOSe pFdcClceS
and laws of warfare that are acknowledge
ed to DE obligatory upon civilized nations
when engaged in open hostiiites, including
the treatment Of captives who are enlisted
in either army: due respect to cartels for
exchange of prisoners and for other mill
tary purposes; truces and flags of truce.
the provision of proper hospitals and hos
pital supplies. and services to the sick and
wounded of either army.
Our recognition of them would not insure
this unless Spain also granted them bel
Egerent rights.
1.-THE action of the Senate committee" he
said, "does all that is needed to be done at
this time as a first step. Congress has no
right to recognize belligerency. This is a
function of the executive. Everyone knows
that sympathy with the Cubans is univer-
sal in this country.
The resolutions are official expression
of it. 1t will be but short time if the
Cubans hold out, before this belligerency
will be recognized by the President. The
committee have done all that it is neces-
sary or proper for them to do. 1t will be
but short time before the President will

ROBBED AN EXPRESS CAR.
Everything of Value Taken Between
Weehawken and Troy.

TROY, n. Y, January 30.-What was
probably an extensive express car robbery
en- the West Shore road has been discos-
eled in this city. There were two express
cars on the train, one for this city and the
other for Boston. Both had heen sealed at
Weehawken, but between that place and
this city the Boston car had been entered
and robbed of everything valuable. There
were evidences that more than one man
had been engaged in the job. The car was
resealed here and sent to Boston on the
Fitchburg train, due in Boston this morn
ing. 1t is impossible to ascertain here
what was taken because the way bills
are sent direct from New York to Boston
ard will have to tie checked off at the
latter city. 1t is believed that the robbers
had confederates at several small sta
lions along the Yes. Shore road where
the train stopped.
BOSTON. January 3O.-The express car
reported to have been robbed on tie West
Shore road last night was one containing
matter for the National Express Company.

PITTSBURG, January 3O.-Mrs NJ. A.
Conan, formerly in business for, herself in
New York city. but recently living in the
fashionable East End of this city, has en-
tered a suit for breach of promise against
Col E. H. Dyer, president Of the Kanawha
Oil Company, asking $4,000 damage
Col. Dyer is about sixty years of age,
bachelor, and one of the prominent oil pro-
ducers of Pittsburg. He is a native of

rent house and furnish it, preparatory to
their marriage, the colonel promising to re-

relatives in Portland, they came on and
had him forcibly removed to a hospital,
where the plaintiff was not permitted to
see him.
The summons was served on the defend
ant at the hospital last night, where he was
found in company with his nephew and
niece. The suit has caused something of a
sensation In business and social circles
