NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, August 26.-The stock mar
ket again to-day reflected chiefly the oper.
ations of the board room scalpers. The
movement of prices was irregular with a
marrow range and only three stocks
reached fair proportions in point of activ-
1ty. These were sugar, Western Union
and st. Paul in the order named. The
announcement of the formal assignment
of Hilton, Hughes e. Co. barely created
ripple owing to the almost general pre-
vious knowledge of the firms long CON

BELL OPPOSES THE POWERS BILL

Pacific Roads.

WASHINGTON. Dec. u.-Rsprssenta-
tive Bel. Of Texas. a member of the COM
rnir-ne on Pacific railroads. today present-
81 20 he house minority report against
the Powers bill. He opposed me hll on
the srourd that u proposed 70 increase the
indebtedness Of the Pacific railroads.
which IS covered by the first mortgage
ard a pricr Iien 70 the government Len. by
sfg fsss ls.s and 10 make the government
lien subordinate 10 this increased irdeet-
edn~ss. He asserts that while under the
Powers pi.n the companies would attempt
to give security 20 the government by
second lien. Il the government shall be
Obliged TO take possession o. the property.
as he predicts that IL would bs eventually
under the Powers bill. Il would have 10
assume an additional debt OF slssAa.e .ee.
He holds thae the property on which the
government would be given a second lien
would be worth less than the amount OF
the first mortgsge.
Mr.. Bell recommends that the indebted
ness OF the roads 70 the government De
extended. providing the companies viii Sc

nent a right on default 10 institute pro-
eeedings on the entire amount OF the

failure or refusal OF the roads 10 comply
with these conditions. the government
should institute suit 70 foreclose and sell
the property. The report strongly opposes
government ownership or control.
The report says that the subsidized roads
have squandered the assets which ought
to De available 10 pay their indebtedness
10 the government. and that she "mslad-
minlsgration OF the properties began Win
the building OF the roads. and has con-
tinued ever since" IL there was any pros
pect OF securing anything for the govern
men by litigation with officers or stock
holders. Mr.. Bell continued. he would op-
pose any settlement which might release
them from the liability. but he holds II
TO be clear that the suits OF this kind
would continue TO be fruitless. as In the
past He contends that as the govern
ment has TO pay per cent. interest on
what il owes, IL is unreasonable that lt
should loan 10 a private corporation at a
less rate and recommends that any exfen-
sion OF the debt be ar per cent, instead
OF per cent, as proposed by the Powers

known 10 Secretary oiney on Thursday by
AuSsaphS B@y IN accordance with a cable
gram reserved "Wednesday from MS home

tn-aister and secretary OF state is described
as exceedingly interesting and somewhat
exciting. Mustapha Bey began by stating
that his government had instructed him 10
make AN emphatic protest" against the
harsh language used by the president con-
corning a power with which the
Uniteu States sustained friendly DIP
sornatic relations. This was aceus-
ing President Cleveland OF a Diplomatic
discourtesy. bat the minister made Il stin
more serious by stating that the sultan
regarded President cieveland's message as
the argument OF an advocate. in that he
presented only one side OF the case. al
though he possessed complete Information
regarding the other. or the Turkish. which
had been officially communicated 10 him.
The minister also called attention to grew
ances that his government entertains
against the citizens OF the United States.
He said they had Ibe.ed the sultan and
abused the Turkish government, and had
been allowed 70 do so unrsprlmanded by
the president. although some OF them were
public officers

lean missionaries in Turkey. who were
charged with inciting the Armenians
against the Turkish government, and with
aiding them by assisting or concealing
the manufacture of dynamite bombs in

what the Turkish government regards as
proof of the charges made and that they
are now on file IN the department. Among
those accused are DR.. Cyrus Hamlin. the
Congre gstional minister. and DR.. Dwight
and DIR. Washburn. OF Roberts college in
