The annual report of the Chicago, Bur
nngton and Quincy will probably show the
net earnings to be over 3 IL per cent.
This S all that has been expectedand more.
1t should be perfectly satisfactory to every
body. This years report will be different
There can be no question that the company
is doing more business and has better pros
poets than during last year or for some time
past. Burlington should much more than
earn its dividends in '97. The stock Is a
good purchase at present figures on all

The increase in membership of the differ
ent locals, both of Athe trades unionsts
and Knights of Labor Assemblies, and the
restored confidence and respect, which
absolute absence Of all internal dissenson
heretofore existed, and for months every
thing has been moving along as smoothly
as in years past. The majority Of employers
have recognized and acquieSced in the
demands of labor, and in turn they have ac-
knowledged the rights Of their employees.
Under these circumstances it is only nat
ural that harmony should exist, since the
two great forces which Tevolve the wheels
of progress are working so beautifully to-
gether in double harness and striving for
the same end-the betterment of the con.
dition OF all.

Contrary to the expectations Of organ
lied labor in the District, the establishing
of headquarters in this city by the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor has had stimu-
lating effects on all local organizations.
Several times in past years an attempt was
made by the American Federation to gain
a foothod in Washington, but without sue
cess. In those years the advocates of the
principles of the K. Of l.. held full sway
among the workmen of the District and
would not tolerate any invasion Of their
territory by the enemy. Advocates of trades
unionism on several occasions came to the
city for the purpose of disseminating the
principles of the order. The visits were very
brief and far between, but the seeds Sown
took root and grew, as is demonstrated by
the existence of the Central Labor Union.
It was not, however, among trades union
lists alone that the spirit to extend the in
fluence of orga niZed labor was felt andseen.
Just is soon as the Knights of Labor found
themselves confronted with a simon-pure
trades union organiZa ton, they realized
the situation and Immediately took steps
to strengthen their ranks from among the
wage-earners of the city. AS a matter of
fact the effect of the establishment of
trades unionism in the District was only
indirect. and so far as the Knights of Labor
assemblies were concerned, the loss in
membership was exceedingly small. The
| great loss of numbers was suffered by the
local Federation of Labor. which had al
ways been closely allied to District AS
! sembly No. 66, X. of L.
The local federation is a mixed body,
| roDlpoSpd pf trades uniOnS I, as
semblies and labor organizations having
national affiliations of their own. 1t was
| this latter class of organizations which
| were formed on trades union principles
that made the break as soon as the
! American Federation found a home here
| These bodies comprised the building trades
with the exception of the few which Were
! affiliated with the X. OF L. and other
trcal workers, steam filters and others
The result of this division in the ranks
oforganizedla Ia Dor, however, has apparently
| been helpful to all concerned. 1t put the
Knights of Labor on the alert to increase
| their nenbe rship from among the morgan.
lied workInen of the city, and it is safe
to say that many new members were
added to every local assembly.
On the other side, the trades unionist
were also working hard to increase thei
numbers, not only by additions to th
membership of unions already formed, bu
also by the organization Of new bodies
i In both these undertakings they met wit
great success. Not only did they succeed
in increasing the membership Of the oil
unions but also IN organizing new 1abo
bodies from among the skilled mechanic
OF the city. Three of the new organic;
tions, the Painters, Plasterers and Hod
carriers, were the second OF the kind in tn
city. and nearly caused serious trouble
not only among the trade unionists, bu
also between them and the Knights c
Labor.

The World of Business

At the end of the week in Wall street
there is an utter lack of interest by the
outside public in the market inasmuch
as the peculiar advances in prices in all
securities, amounting in reality to II
small boom during the early part OF the
week, were all based ON the Inaugural
ton and We're all the result OF profes-
sional speculation entirely This failure
of the public to get into the market
when the Mckinley administration is a
fact is of a strong Importance that must
not be overlooked or underestimated by
any one who wishes to form theories as
to the probable future course of the mar
ket Everything so far since Thursday
morning has been in confirmation of the
suggestions made in this column two weeks
ago. that the market would advance
steadily and rapidly up to inauguration,
and that after the new administration
was a reality the tendency would be the
other way Reasoning from analogy, to-
morrow and this coming week should show
falling market, not necessarily bad
break, but weakness, small fluctuations
and a downward tendency. 1t seems prob
able now that the outside public is not
ready with it's faith in the Mckinley adj
ministration to put its money into the
railroad and other securities in a specu-
lative way Nothing can be Snrer than
the assumption that IL the public leaves
the market alone this drop will occur.
Prices were generally strong at the open
ing Yesterday, but the excessive dullneSs oil
the market apparently induced tired specu
lative holders to let go their stocks, and the
| result was moderate concessions in the sec
| ond hour Of trading. Il

AS soon, however, as these, what may
be termed personal differences between
the local labor organizations, were settled,
peace reigned in the District. Both the
trades unionist and the knight OF Labor
recognized the fact that there was moth
ing to be gained by quarrelng among them
selves They saw that the employers took
advantage of the circumstances, and While
they were destroying the in fluence OF
organiZcdlabor, those who I'll discOuntenanced
all organization Of working men reaped
the benefits. Their opponents thet - "
were thoroughly organized, and they de-
teruined TO meet organization with organ
iZation Withths view, they ydiscountenanced
any action on the part OF other labor
organizations calculated to create strife
and went about organizing the workinen
of the District who were not connected
with either OF the two great national
labor bodies.
Open meetings Were called under the
auspices of the Trades d5nionist and also
the Knights of Labor, and the most prom
incnt leaders of each faction Were invited
to be present and expouid the principles
of the order These meetings We're We'll

individual organizations. These meet
ings were also attended by the workmen

satisfactory, as was evidenced by the
number of workmen who connected them

European advices have certainly assumed
a somewhat bellj jgerent tone. The position
of Greece and Turkey is represented as
likely TO result in trouble, while some ac-
counts make il appear almost 1mrossbie
that the larger powers will not be drawn
into the difficulty. These statements are
to be qualified in the same way as
similar items of news have been by the
events of the past few weeks. III wal

dency would be bad one on our stocks
held in European markets, but there can
be no question that in larger way, after
the immediate sympathetic effect were

The new administration has not as yet
gotten into working order, and reports
about the Presidents intentions in a num-
Der Of important matters are of course
premature, although circulated with con
siderable assurance. The concessions in
several stocks noted yesterday are not
legitimate results of a knowledge that Mr.,
McKinlcys policy will be inimical to them
AT most these fluctuations are due to the
manipulations of the bears, expecting u
drop and using the rumors as levers. The
market will go off even if Mckinley does
not attack the trusts.

Coin and a Pair of
Socks.
Desire for Beer 0veroame Seru-
pies of Conscience, Hence

How a Legless Man Betrayed the
Confidence of His Bed-Ridden
Oompatriot.

A story pitiful In the extreme, yet not
without little pathetic humor in it,
comes from he City and County Ho pital
concerning two patients Hughes Hote
and Jules Myers. now lying i'll there.
The two men are opposite each other in
one OF the wards of the hospital and have
become quite well acquain ted during their
long ilne $.
Hote is native of Normandy. He is n
tall, dark, dignified man, upon whose face
death has put it, stamp. he is dying
slowly of an incuratle disease, thousands
OF miles from home and friends.
Myrs is a French Jew from A1sace-
Lor: aine. He is little man, with red
hair and short, stubby red beard He is
good naturei and easy going. for all that
consumption OF the bone is slowly but
surely ending his days. For the past two
years he has had both legs amputated at
different times. until they are now but
mere stumps.
Myers and Hote have long chats
together in French, and when Myers
manages TO get upon tine str 'et, as he oc-
casionally does, he always tells HOte all
about what he has seen or heard as sooD
as he returns.
Hote does not believe he has not long to
live. He talks constantly OF the time when
he, TOO, can go out of doors, work again, aud
return 10 France. And with this end in
view he has for some time gree1iIy treas
ured 25-o ent piece-his last bit oil money
Under his pillow, with the intention Of
buyinG with it pair of socks 10 replace his
only pair, which were taken by the laun-
dry and through some mistake not re-
turned to him.
One day last week Myers signified to
II Ote his intention of taxing a walk that
afternoon. so he latter, who firmly De-
lieves tina; he will be up and around in
few days, called his friend to MS bedside
and with much care gave him he precious
TWO bit piece, vitl a request that pair
of nice warm socks be purchased with il.
Now with that 25-cent piece in mis- hand
wicked thouaht came into Myers head
when once he had got outside the hospi-
tai, and he resolved 10 put it into execu-
ZION.
Later in the afternoon, after he had re-
turned TO his ward and handed Hote a
pair OF socks done up in piece of news
paper, a medical student chanced 10 pass
near hote's bed and seeing a look OF posi-
tive anguish upon the poor fellows face
stopped TO ask If he were in pain.
That Frenchman," said Hote, his lip
quivering painfully as he looked toward
Myers, who Law near peacefully sleeping.

Then. with tears in his eyes, he eX-
planned that Myers had returned and
given him an ola pair of socks instead of
