New York, Jan. 19.-The cotton mar
xet opened at an advance of / to 2
points on light port receipts; fell off
under local pressure, but recovered on
estimates from New Orleans pointing
to $4,000 bales for the week at the
ports against New York, and estimates
$4,000. Trading was light and local
throughout the session and news was
scarce. There was some talk of short
ening time by New England spinners.
Private cables from Manchester were

New York, Jan. 1s.-The stock mar
ket to-day opened irregular, but al
most at the outset nervous tone was
apparent and general weakness quick
Iy developed. The arguments advanc-
ed against prces were the familiar ones
OF uncertainty regarding the imme-
date financial and political outlook.
The bear professionals fully improved
the misunderstanding prevalent until
after the close of business regarding
the alleged destination of the British
flying squadron for American waters.
Gloomy forecasts as to the business
outlook for the Granger properties
were also circulated and the final prices
were at about the lowest of the day.
The dealings in railway mortgages to-
day were ON fairly large scale, with
a sagging tendency of prices.

CLEANED UP The CALENDAR
Senate Passed 65 Bills to Which
There We're No Objections.
Most of Them Were Pension Meas asures.
Finance, Monroe Doctrine and
Cuba Went Over.

Neither the financial question nor tie
Monroe doctrine engaged any part OF The
senate yesterday, When, az the close of
the morning hour the House bond bill,
with the free coinage substitute, came 10
as the unfinished business, MIR. Teller,
Rep, Col, who had tue floor TO speak upon
IL, readily yielded TO a suggestion 10 post
pone his speech until today, and Mr.. jones,
Dem, Ark, who has tue parliamentary
management OF the bill, Just as readily
consented 10 have the bill GO over for the
day.
The Cuban question, however, came in
Tor measure of attention Indirectly III
connection with two resolutions offered by
MI. Call, Dem, Fla, one in reference TO
the arrest OF United States citizens in
Havana and the other calling On the State
Department for copies of reports of United
states consuis in Cuba relating to the
progress of the war ON that island.
Both resolutions were referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations after a
brier discussion III which Mr.. Hoar, Rep,
Mass, ridiculed the notion that the Senate
was constantly loaded cannon ready To
be touched Off at any Senator's discre-
ton, and in which Mr.. Sherman Rep. Ohio,
chairman OF the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations, remarked that the resolution would
be setting an example that might give tue
Most of the days session was spent

MAFlA is AGAIN ACTIVE
Italian Society of Assassins Has
Now Taken to Counterfeiting.
New Scheme Involves Simultaneous
Movement I'm All Parts of
the Country.

New York, Jan. 21.-The secret service
authorities, or which Chief Hazen is the
head, recently received Information from
trustworthy source that the Maria-that
terrible secret society of Italian ussassins
has perfected It's organization in this
| country in stronger manner than ever
before, and has planned a gigantic scheme
or crime.
The fresh impetus TO the Malta Is the
result OF the recent discharge from several
prisons where Federal prisoners are con-
fined OF number of5desperate murderers
and leaders OF counterfeiting gangs who
have just finished long terms of imprison-
ment.
The evidence collected by the secret
service men shows that the Malta has its
agents in every locality where Italians
congregate, and has very strong and active
organizations in this, city, Chicago, New
orleans, Boston, st. Louis, San Francisco,
Buffalo, Toledo, St Paul, Kansas City,
Pittsburg, Charleston, land other large
cities in the East and West.
The new scheme of,the Malta is the coun-
terfeiting line. and the plan Involves a
simultaneous movement in all parts OF the
country. A large amount of spurious coin
and bank notes is to be pat out at the same
time In order to flood the country before
any report is made to the Federal au-
thorities Of the existence of the spurious
money.
The Mafia's plans are disseminated by
messengers. who know full well that death
awaits them II they are discovered or give
any information about their business.
The secret service agents, though handi-
capped. are doing splendid work in get
ting the bottom facts.

own Way. -r- - sss- ~
Any honest physician will tell You that
there is but one wayst6Tget Increased flesh;
all the patent medicines and .cpd liver Oils
to the contrary, notwitbst andiDg.
Nature has but one way to decrease flesh.
strength and vigor, mind and body, and that
is through the stomach by wholesome food,
well digested. There is 10 reason, or COM
mon sense in any other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale,
and shaky in their nerves, simply because
their stOmachs are weak. -
They may not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food, or what they eat is not quickly
and properly digested, as 1t should be.
DR.. HariaDdson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secretion
OF gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which win do
this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which are designed especial
ly for all stomach troubles, and which cure
all digestive weakness on the common sense
plan OF furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetite and increased yigor, added flesh,
pure blood. and strength off nerve and
muscle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tabetssfsi the. safest
tonic known and will cure any form OF
stomach trouble except cancer or the ktoni-
ach. May be found at druggists at 20 cents

RUSHING THE APPROPRIATIONS
House Passes the Urgent Deficiency

The House yesterday passed its third ap.
preparation bill, that making urgent deli.
ciencies for current and past fiscal years.
The total amount carried by the bill was
4,4l5.923, and as passed by the House
S4, ,42O,403, the only amendment made
of any Importance being one to appropriate
$4,000 for the survey OF the Chippewa
lands in Wisconsin.
Nearly three-quarters of the amount
named in the bin WAS for court expenses
largely fees OF witnesses. deputy marshals
and commissioners, and much OF he debate
on the bill was devoted TO the necessity
of reform in the fee system which now pre-
vaiis.
Earlier in the day n joint resolution
providing for an increase OF twenty in
the number of reports and documents fur
Dished the State Department gave rise
to a discussion CT the printing bill passed
at the last session of Congress. 1t was
criticised by Mr.. Cannon and defended by
Mr.. Richardson, who managed its passage
through the House.
Resolutions were agreed to calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury to inform
the House whether or not in his opinion
the provisions Of law for the safety
of the public in ocean travel were
were sufficient, and if so, whether or not
they were being enforced; and for state
meDt OF the reasons for the delay In the
construction OF the San Francisco post
office building.
At 4:15 the House adjourned until today
The morning times., 1896-01-22

Will the Monroe doctrine meet the COM
| mon fate?
That is the question which is worrying
the members Of the Senate. II a vote
could be taken now the resolution would
pass. But can the vote be taken?
Heretofore the res oiutioDs have been
buried deep in the graveyard of the Com
mi,tee on Foreign Affairs. Many Senators
expect such fate for this resolution.
Since President Monroe promulgated his
doctrine there have been from twelve to
fifteen resolutions introduced. But never a
one has passed. They have either been
talked TO death or recommitted to the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
AN HiSToR RICAL PROBLEM.
VIII history repeat itselfc
Many Senators think it will. There
is 10 chance for any Two men agreeing
on the subject. They have many differ
ences and they can never be reconciled.
That has been the fate of resolutions in
the past. No one knows, at the present. just
exactly what he wants. II there is an at
tempt made to change the resolution in
any way, the trouble then comes.
Senators hold IL is a most inappropriate
tine, Just now, TO talk. The resolution
has been forced on the country by the action
of the President in The Venezuelan ques-
ton. A commission las just been ap-
may present It's case. They say there is
no use in stirring up The British before they
try 20 do tie fair thing. 1t is held they

One well known Senator said yesterday
tha, bc thocght the introduction OF the bill
was most inopportune. He also thought
the resolution would mecttbe common fate.
But LITTLE ANXIETY.
His vie wS are generally held. 1t is for
this reason that there seems TO be 20 little
anxiety for preparation for trouble if trouble
should come Every one feels that the
country should be ready TO uphold any stand
it takes, but no one expects il TO take
stand.
Otherwise there would be provisions made
to enforce the decision. should il be against
England. and should England attempt to
secure territory. This is the secret of the
lethargy which has fallen over the govern
ment.
We should always be prepared to meet
any enemy" is the general feeling of
every Senator. but such acOntingency seems
so remote that no one cares to hurry things.
1t will require an upheaval 10 get coast
defenses well under way.
Senator Hansbrough on the other hand
represents a number of Senators who think
the issue a grave one. They hold that q
decision has been forced on this Country
and that she must maxi up her mind whether
she is large enough to protect the small
republics or not.
