the Dunning frying pan. are very good.

the previous days. Captain Baker is in
sisting on the little niceties of military
life in camp and the High school boys

The problem of feeding hundred hungry
youths, with their chance guests, is con-
fronted by Commissary Way three times

Miss Philena Winslow. daughter of
Captain ]. S. Winslow, the president of
the International Steamship company,
and the boat WAS the st. Croix, which the
line had been building to add to their
fact. Work or the new boat was pushed
forward rapidly and in December she
was ready to 20 into commission AS
December is not just the month for a
pleasure excursion, though, the manage
menb decided to put her to work at once
at the heavy winters work and postpone
this opportunity for their friends to see
what good boat the St. Croix is until
this summer.
Monday was the day collected, and a
more perfect one could not have been
made. The water was as blue as tie sky
and sparkling in the sun. while there
was wind enough to cool the air and yet
not roughen the water. About four hun
dred friends and patrons Of the line ell

1t was gingerly lot of six horses that
came for the word in the thirty mine
class. 1T took them some time to get
away, but after Starter Walker had
called the drivers in front of him and
given them some good advice they got
away on the next trial. just on the
start the sulkys of the two pole horses
Alcoe and Wellington came together
lightly, but no damage resulted. From
the start to the three-quarters the horses
strung out into procession half dozen
lengths between each one and reminded
one of a lot of circus horses on parade.
Alcoe was never troubled from start to
finish, and won in n walk. Wellington
had nn easy second and Early Earl a
strong. third. Loudoun, Venture, Well
ington, Nellie S. came next in the order
named. Time, 2.s4.

first heat SO handily went off his pins, at
the wire. and when he got to going level
again, he was the tail horse Of the pro-
oession. Then he showed his blood and

to Fifield's splendid driving he began to
climb, and passed horse after horse till
nearing the wire he poked. his head in
front Of Venture W, who was making a
great play for first place, and now his
second heat arousing the first enthusiasm
of the afternoon. 1t was a great race
down the stretch. Venture came second

Loudoun, Wellington, Early Earl finished
in the order named, while Nellie S, the
Portland mare again brought up the

This heat, which proved to be the final
heat Of the race was b soft thing for
Alcoe who won as he pleased and could
have shut almost the entire field if his
driver had wanted to. The only racing
in the heat was for second place, and
London landed it from Wellington after
lively battle. The others were way be-

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

| Special Dispatch to The EveninE Star.
NEW YORK. December 14.-Opening
prices this morning were fractionally lower
and receded for substantial losses under
further sales by the room. The interna-
tional list. Reading and Burlington were
the features of the early decline. No stg
| nificant liquidation was reported. the de-
cline resulting from an extension Of the
short account.
Spanish treachery and congressional SYM
pathy for Cuba were the motives behind
the selling movement. Press dispatches as
to the manner of Maceo,s death were relied
upon to force radical action on the part of
Congress and TO cause serious International
complications. The room has depended on
| such conditions these for several weeks.
Stocks have Teen sold as opportunity Of
fered. in the hope of getting them back
cheaper the moment Spain resented the
action Of Congress.
The resolutions offered last week were
passed over without any significant re-
action in prices. but the attack this morn
ing was more successful because of the
more plausible arguments behind It. Should
the latest accounts Of the deliberate mur-
DER OF the fnsurgent general prove correct
| 1t Is generally conceded that reasons for
this country's int erfereuce were never rnore
urgent than now
Traders failed to attract sales from ont
slde sources, but 1t Is equally certain that
those sources saw nothing in the specula-
| tive prospect to warrant purchases
1t Is urged in certain quarters that he
fear of possible legislation is the Only draw
back to a prompt recovery in prices in all
departments. This may or may not be
true but the significant fact remains that
interests possessing the money, the ex-
perience and the brains of Wall street are
not noted among the speculative buyers of
securities.
The investment market reflects good bay
ing of conservative sort. but the control

In. reTairs undisputed This condition
cannot prevail indefinitely, of course and

MR.. MORSE'S BILL,
Question of Appeals From the Board
to the Courts.

question of Appeals From the Board
to the Courts.
The Commissioners today reported upon
House bill 1888 to amend the act govern
ing the sale of intoxcating liquors in the
District of Columbia. In reporting on this
bill they simply indorsed an opinion of the
attorney for the District as their views of
the bill. In this opinion the attorney said:
Having read this bill carefully l have
the honor to say 1 fully concur in the pro-
posed amendment of section l. but am una
lie to see the propriety of the change pro-
posed in section = of the act of 1893, which
II 1t becomes law will make the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia a Court
of Appeals in excise matters. Such a
change Is quite as undesirable as 1t Is un-
necessary, 1t seems to me. The excise
beard. being composed of practicable men
of affairs, Is fully competent to deal with
both law and the fact in excise matters.
But aside from this, as the law now
stands. any contestant or opponent to the
granting of a liquor license IL dissatisfied
with. the action of the board may petition
the supreme Court of the District of Co.
iumbia for writ Of ccrtiorari and have
the question OF the jurisdiction of the ex-
else board to gran: a particular license re-
viewed. and II the court, after hearing
considers the board was without jurssdic-
ton. it will, by its Judgment. annul the
license.
On the other hand an applicant for q H.
cense, II theTsame be refused for want of
Jurisdiction In the board to grant IT. NAV
also petition said court for the writ of man.
damus and have the action of the board re-
examined. and If the board erred as matter
OF law, IT may be required by the judg-
ment or the court to issue the license.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
New Building Not Likely to BE Used
for the Rall.

The opposition to the use of the Congress
sional Library building for purposes of the
inaugural ball has practically won it's fight.
Senator Proctor who accompanied Mr..
Hanna on his visit to the Capitol in order
to secure the consent Of Senators snd men,
bers for this use of the new library build
ing, will not push his advocacy of the pro-
ject. which has met such general condem-
nation. In speaking u Il Star reporter to-
day. Mr.. Proctor said:
Il have not taken 1t that Mr.. Hanna has
at any time wished to secure the use of the
new library building for the inaugural ton
ball II there was general opposition to it,
He simply thought that that would be a
good place to hold the ball. and would like
to have seen 1t there.
did not see him just before he left the
city, and. therefore. cannot state what tfs
conclusion in this matter has been. For
my own part, l would not care to see this
matter pushed in the Senate If it were met
by strong minority opposition even if it
could be carried through.
think that the fact that there is a
strong opposition against 1t is sufficient TO
make some ether plan and not to use the
new library building"
Senator Morrill, said to a Star reporter
this afternoon that his committee was
ready at any time to make a favorable re-
port on his resolution prohibiting the use
of the new library building for any pur-
poses other than those of the library itself.
He has not yet called together a meeting
Of the committee In order to secure this
report, but will probably do so In a few
days.
