THE PEQUoTs.

A Very Pleasant Affair Last Night.
Among the numerous clubs which
flourish in New Haven few entertain
more extensively than the Pequot asso-
citation. Hardly have the echoes Of
one festive occasion died out than
anotheris announced and claims atten-
ton, and all such jolly affairs are
characterized by a delightful informal
ity. Last nights event was no excep-
ton to the rule. Informal dancing and
feasting aided the evenings jollity. The
early hours were given over to a bust
ness meeting, at which the bylaws
were revised. AS usual specially ar
ranged cars were in attendance for the
return trip.
Among those present We're: Mr.. and
Mrs. J. N. Champion, Mr.. and Mrs. S.

Financial.

Stocks, After Advancing, Fell Backward,
and Lower Prices Were General.
New York, Feb. 1.-The reduction in
the Bank Of England discount rate
from 31s to per cent. had compare
lively little influence on the markets
for securities at the opening to-day,
partly because London failed to respond
to the news. 1t was quite evident that
the action of the directors of the bank
had been discounted, reduction in the
bank rate having been foreshadowed
by the declining quotations in the open
market at London for some days past.
Stocks after advancing X to "a per
cent. soon developed weakness and UNI
der selling, chiefly for the short ac-
count, almost the entire list sustained
losses varying from II to per cent.
The downward movement was tenn
porarily checked by the unexpectedly
favorable showing made by the Chica-
go, Burlington and Quincy. 1t was
rumored yesterday and again this
morning that the statement would
show a decrease in net earnings of
about 100000.
Instead, the official figures reported
an increase as compared with 1896 of
$76, 799 in net earnings and of $69753 in
surplus. On this the shorts covered
freely, and Burlington and Quincy rose
from 741a to 751b and other stocks raj
lied fractionally in sympathy. The
firmness, however, was Of shurt dura-
ton and during the afternoon the ad-
vance was not only lost. but in some
instances, more particularly in the in
dustrials, substantial declines were re-
corded.
The growing belief that the affairs of
the trusts will be probed into by the
New York state senate investigating
committee, and continued advices from
Washington that the differential duty
on refined sugar will be reduced, oper-
ated against the industrial group. Su-
gar fell from 1865 to 1141a, while Leath-
err preferred declined IA, to 591s, and
Lead 1s to 22B.
Chicago Gas was sold down 11s, to
TIN, on advices from Springfield that
a bill will be introduced in the Illinois
legislature reducing the price of the
gas in the state. Officials of the COM
pany here attach no Importance to the
matter. The grangers yielded about a
half point, and Louisville and Nash
vile and General Electric even less.
Among the specialties Jersey Central
declined IA to SO, and Big Four 1ss, to
q while New York, New Haven and
Hartford. on purchases of odd lots,
jumped points, to 1891, and Long Is
land 2, to so. The market closed quiet
in tone. Net changes show declines of
A@M per cent. Jersey Central, Sugar
and Leather preferred, however, lost
@15s per cent
The bond market was firm to-day
Sales were $2.791 900.

ported by Prince & Whitley, bankers

A GREAT FRENCH LIGHTHOUSE

A GREAT FRENCH LIGHTHOUSE.
The most powerful lighthouse in the
world is being built at Penmark Point,
in the Department of the Finistere. 1t
is now more than half finished, and
will, says our Paris correspondent, be
inaugurated at the end of next sum-
mer. The "Petit Journal gives some
very interesting information concern
ing 1t. The height of the tower is six
ty-three metres two hundred and sew
en- feeD, which will enable it to be
seen during the day from distance of
thirty kilometres in fine weather.
During the night it's light will be visi-
BILE for one hundred kilometres (siXty-
three miles,.
The great illuminating power of the
light will be realized by means of the
apparatus, inaugurated in France in
1892 at the Heve Lighthouse with it's
lightning flashes.
The principle on which these light
ming flashes are based is that a flash of
lightning lasting no more than one
tenth of a second suffices to produce
on the retina it's complete effect.
Starting from that principle, the new
lighthouse will send flashes of concen-
trated light over the ocean every five
seconds, though they will last but one
tenth of second. The Penmark light
will have cost, when completed, TWEEN
ty-four thousand pounds, the half Of
which is provided by the state and the
other half by legacy from the Mar
chioness de Blocqueville, daughter of
Prince ,EckmuhI. London Standard.

MIR. poRrER's ACCEPTANCE.
OF His Appointment as Secretary to
President Elect Mckinley.


President Elect Mckinley.
A dispatch from Canton, o., yester-
day afternoon, announces that John
Addison Porter of Hartford, formerly
Of this city, has signified his accept
ance of the post of private secretary
conferred upon him by President-elect
Mckinley. The dispatch further says
Mr.. Porter was a leader of the McKin-
ley forces in Connecticut before the
nomination, and active in the cam
paign.
AS has been published, Mr. Porter
was mentioned for the position of en-
voy extraordinary to Italy. He had
the endorsement. of the Connecticut
senators and congressman for this posi-
ton, but Mr.. Mckinley was not in a
position to offer the Hartford editor
this post, and as a compromise ten
dered him the private secretaryship.
Mr.. Porter is being congratulated for
his acceptance. Mr.. Porters fitness for
the post is unquestioned and he will
doubtless adorn the position.
The news concerning the honor con-
ferred on Mr.. Porter gives special graf
ification to that gentleman's large cir
Gle of friends in this city, New Haven
having been for so many years his
home, and where he received his uni
versity education at the college of
which his father was a distinguished
professor, and to the glory of which
his grandfather, the late lamented Jo-
seph E. Sheffield, so notably contrib
uted. 4

Refined Cruelty In France.

The humanitarian lady who will not
wear birds in her bonnet or eat flesh
meat or permit down pillows to soften
her lot in life should turn her attention
to refined cruelty that is at the mo-
ment vogue in certain districts in
France. For the manufacture of a GER
tain superfine cloth called zibeline rab-
bits are plucked alive, and the long fur
thus obtained is woven into the afore-
said texture. A particular breed Of rab-
bits is only suitable. and these hapless
creatures are carefully tended after the
plucking process until their fur grows
again. The thing is inexcusably cruel,
and no woman would surely encourage
the sale or manufacture of such cloth II
her heart. not to say sensibility, is In
the right place. Chicago Post.
