NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The volume of
business in stocks to-day was only about
one-half as large as on Tuesday and the
market displayed nervousness through
out, rejecting the after effect of yester
days scoop" The trend of prices was
towards lower level with n few fitful
and short lived rallies between. The trad,
ing was purely professional and the gov
erning influence consisted of pronounced
monetary stringency. Call loans touched
II per cent, and although n per cent.
rate was subsequently, established the
bulk of the loans were mt 7a0 per cent.
The rallies were almost in every instance
attributable to covering of short con-
tracts. The severest declines were made
in the forenoon operations and apathy
characterized the afternoon session, al
though prices settled back to the lowest
points at the close. In the last hour the
general market was helped slightly sym
pathetically by the rally in wheat, but
fell again on renewed realizations and
bear pressure.

TO JOIN THE UNITED STATES.
England Will Support Any Action OF
this Country.

A Chicago Tribune's Washington DIS
patch says: Aid for Cuba comes from an
unexpected source. 1t is said here thai
England will follow the United States III
recognizing the Cuban patriots. An III
formal intimat on to this effect has been
received at the State Department., and the
status of the Cuban question changed al
once owing to this sudden development.
Such a communication has not been
conveyed in an official letter, but it is
said Sc r.tary Olney has been given to
understand by the British Ambassador
thai Grea; Bit lin would not only not OBJ
ject to any action the United States might
take in regard to Cuba, but would even
welcome any reasonable interference
which would tend TO stop the Cuban war.
That such intimation was given SEMI
officially was learned positively, and the
effect of the information will be rendered
almost certain by speedy action by tins
country.
1t is also thought that if the United
States, with the support of Great Britain
interfered in the Cuban war, it will make
the two countries allies, n hasten,
rather than Ietard. the favorable friendly
conclusion of the Venezuelan dispute.

WITNESSES MUST ANSWER.
The U. $. Supr5 ine Court Ahirms
Finding of the Lower Court.

OA ~
A decision has been rendered by the
Unted STA eS supreme court in the case
Of Theodore L. Brown, involving the
right of a court to compel an answer by Il
witness to questions in interstate COM
nerce cases, Notwithstanding he may
plead elf-incrimination as the result of
an answer. The decision was opposed to
Browns contention that he was protected
by the constitution from this requirement
md the decision OF the court below was
affirmed. The opinion was handed down
by Justice Brown. justices Field, Shiras,
Gray and White dissented, holding that
the constitutional provision was sufficient
TO relieve Brown from the requirements 10
nswer.
This case was advanced on the docket
Of the supreme court on motion OF the
Attorney General made at the instance OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission. 1t
was considered a test case and the claim
was set forth in a letter written for the
commission that a large number Of SINH
lar cases must wait upon its final decision
by the court. The case came to the SUI
preme court on an appeal taken by Brown
from the decision Of the circuit court
for the western district OF Pennsyl-
vania refusing to grant a writ OF habeas
corpus and arose out of the proceeding
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion against the Allegheny Valley Rail
road Company, of which Brown is ar
officer. He is a witness before the
grand jury for the commission in this
case and refused to answer certain QueS-
tiOns %propOunded to him on the ground
that in doing so he might incriminate
himself. Mr.. Brown pleaded his consti-
~tutiOnll right of silence, but the statute
of Febru ,ry II, 1898, requiring answers In
such gu .s..vns was invoked against him
and held to be valid by the circuit court.
In announcing his opinion Justice
Brown said the question involved was
whether the law of 1898 specifically re-
lieving witnesses in interstate
cases from prosecution when they reveal
facts which might incriminate themselves
operates to take from witnesses in Such
cases the privilege of silence as guaran-
teed by the constitution, and the conclu-
sion was that it did.

TURKEY ASKS INTERVENTION
France and Russia Urged to StoI
England's Soudan Campaign.

AS "A result of the extraordinary cabinet
council lasting through Saturday, the
Turkish Government has issued an appeal
to France and Russia, asking them to in
tervene, with the object to regulate the
affairs of Egypt. Germany is also re-
Quested to exercise her good offices.
In well informed circles it is declared
the action of the porte was due to the
councils of France and Russia, who sus-
gested that the present was an opportune
moment for Turkey to raise the question
of her suzerainty over Egypt being prac-
tically usurped by Great Britain.
1t is believed in diplomatic circles that
the protest will not have more than a
moral effect, and, though it is admitted
that France and Russia will refuse to con-
sent to the use of the Egyptian reserve
fund, it is understood nothing short of the
armed interference of the two nations will
prevent Great Britain pushing the Soudan
campaiQn.

MILLS is FOR A
Texas Senator Says the United States,
Duty IL to Free Cuba,

Senator Mills spoke Tuesday in defense
of the Cuban resolution introduced by
him. He said the resolutions heretofore
before the Senate were steps in the rich,
direction, but very short steps. The PEG.
pie of Cuba had far greater claims Oh
the United States than mere recognition
liberty to-day the hearts of the American
people would beat in sympathy, and So if
Poland or Hungary asserted the right o,
liberty. But the United States had much
closer relations TO Cuba than to Ireland
or Poland or Hungary, for it was part Of
the Western Hemisphere over which the
