Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 13.-One op- orator was credited with taking profits o-, a line of about 30,000 shares, and this encouraged a renewal of bear attacks today London's attitude 1t was observed was entirely reversed. The beginning of the fortnightly settlmenb at that center disclosed an urgent demand for Ameti- cans. Arbttrage houses bought all day, their total purchases being estimated at about 50,000 shares. The days selling pressure in its course naturally unveiled a large number of slaop loss orders. The excuse for the reaction was renewal of rumors that crisis in this country's re- lations with Spain was at hand and the bears made most of the report that a meeting of i,he cabinet at Washing ton would be held tomorrow. There were numerous declines of 1@2 per cent, but partial recovgries followed. N. W. and o. M. were particularly strong, especially | the latter, which gained over l per cent. Kansas and Texas was buoyant, and the preferred gained over per cent. on rumors that prospects were brg ghu for am early dividend. In the late afteinoon there were sharp advances in the shares of anthracite coal carrying roads on rurnors that the Hazletor strike had been settled. Shares of soft coal roads eafay advanced on ending of bituminous strike but were checked later by re- actionary tendency elsewhere. In the industrial lisi- Lead broke 3a per cent.

KETOHAM NOT IN THE RACE.
Formidable Rival of voorhees, Says
she y,arter VIII ne President.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News
NEWARK, Dec. Z, 1S9L-Senator
Ketcham, who was regarded as a for
midable candidate for President of the
Senate before Senator Voorhees, was prac-
tically agreed upon for that position, said
Yesterday that he did not contemplate
any change in programme, and was salts
fed that Senator Voorhees, would be Sc
lected President.
Senator VOORHEES, has earned the po-
sition by four years of hard work on the
floor of the Senate" said Mr.. Ketcham
.sand it has been virtually conceded that
he should be the next President. The
newer probability of his also becoming
Acting Governor would not warrant a
change in programme. 1t would SAVIOR
of outside interference that could not be
brooked without incurring the risk of
disastrous results in the election next
fall Senator VOORHEES, is the only one
of the Republican Senators who has
been before the people as candidate tor
nomination to the Office of Governor,
and ne is the most service2ble and re-
sourceful President that could be selected
at this time. | would have been can
didate for President myself this year if
Senator Voorhees, had not entered the
race, and l will, perhaps, enter the list
next year. Now, like majority of the
Republican Senators, / am for Voorhees,,

Especial to .sThe Jersey City News
ELIZABETH, Dec. Z, 1Ss7.-Concerning
the report that because Governor Griggs'
resignation, the Republican Senators
might change their minds, over the
Presidency of the Senate Mr.. VOORHEES,
Yesterday said:-.I have no reason to an
ticipate change, for< many Senators
who had originally promised me tnelr
support have, without solicitation, re-
newed that promise"
The Senator in addition, said he ex-
pected to go to Trenton today, where
he would meet his Republican col
leagues and secure more definite informa-
tion on the subject than he has at pres
ent
Asked if his temporary occupancy OF
the office would render him ineligible as
a candidate for Governor next fall, SEN
ator voorhees, said it would not
Section 8. article 5, of the Constitution,
which covers the point, reads:-.The
Governor shall hold his office Tor three
years, to commence on the third Tuesday
of January next ensuing the election OF
Governor by the people, and to end on
the Monday preceding the third Tuesday
of January three years thereafter; anu
he shall be incapable OF holdlng thdt
office for three years next afIer ms term
of office shall have expired
That section, it is held, would apply
only to Governor duly elected for a
term of three years, and not to an ACT

son or Senator Stokes would. probably
be pitched on for the presidency in case
it was desired not to elect Senator Voor-
hees. But neither of these. / believe,
would for moment think of partcipat-
ing in sacrifice of Senator voorhees,
even though it would mean their own
elevation to desirable height.
.tAs to the Offices to be filled It Will pc
in my power to make the nominations
myself. These nominations may pc mace
at any time during the session or the
Senate. | can. therefore, send them IN
on the opening day of the session. 1
shall submit my annual message to the
Senate, and if the message why not the
appointments to Officer"
The Governor seemed to think that the
man who became President of the Sen
ate, and thus succeeded him as Acting
Governor, could either resign as SEN
&tor or simply suspend his functions as
Senator.
If his successor resigned as Senator, al
ter he became Acting Governor, his seat
in the Senate would be vacant, ana ne
expired, take up his functions as Sena-
tor; but If he chose to act as Cover
nor without resigning his offiee as SEN
ator, he would still be a Senator after
January, 1899, if his Senatorial term eX-
tended over that time.
But the Acting Governor could not per-
form the functions of Governor and Pres
ident of the Senate at the same time. He
would be restricted to the functions of the
higher office. The Senate would have to
choose a temporary President.
Mr.. Griggs expects that the duties OF
the office will require him to be in
Washington nearly all the time during
the Congressional session-about five days
a week. The new office will ALLEVIATE
him from his business in this city 10
a far greater extent than his Office as
Governor has done; but this will only
apply to his law practice. He does not
intend to sever his connection with the
Paterson National Bank or with any of
his other private business affairs. Only
the law practice will suffer.
