Wall Street Yesterday.

New York. May 2e. That weak link in
the stock market chain, Baltimore andO Ohio,
was subjected to a severe strain today, and
1t came near to swapping outright Inas-
mnch as the link serves only TO connectthe
remainder of the market with the most un-
savory financial affair of recent years, it
will be well when the market collapse Of
the stock finally takes place, and it reaches
its inevitable level, that Of hopelessiy in
solvent security, the equities of which must
be regarded as microscopic. The patience
or the Baltimore and Ohio security holders
is amazing II is difficult to see what they
are waiting for.
1t was ruIiiored today that the Baltimore
and Ohio would default on June ! on the
interest due that day.
In the general market there was an up
lifting Of the price level throughout Busi-
ness was upon only fair scale of activity,
but interest was again well distributed and
was expressed In the bond division on as
active scale, relatively, as in the stock
market. The speculation ignored the un-
favorable disposition Of the dealings for
pected engagement OF S5O0,C00 gold for
shipment by toInorrow's steamship.
There was nothing III the news of the day
to which could be referred the strength
OF the general market, but distinct inn
pTovement In sentiment has been evident
for some days, and this seems to be due
to the prospects for fair crops and to 5hc
present evidences OF expeditions work in
the revision Of the tariff. two matters
which, while lacking sensa uonal import.
are yet Of fundamental Importance. The
Improvement in sentiment has also loal-
caly teen furthered by the Supreme
Court decision in the interstate commerce
case and by anxiety in regard to the
Cuban situation and the Graeco-Turkish
war.
The most active features Of the market
were Western Union, the Grangers, and
Jersey Central, together with Sugar and
Chicago Gas Special influences were not
apparently Immediately effective in any
of these cases, OF at least their strength

Black Bass Fishing.

To the Editor of The Times:
In this mornings issue of The Times
is the reported catch by party of WASH
ington fishermen at Great Falls of thirty
seven fine black bass. Can you explain
how it is that the fish protective laws
recently enacted establishing a close sea-
son for black bass until June L, are
imperative, or do the proper authorities
simply require that their attention be
directed to such infringement?
While all honest fishermen await tho
arrival OF the open season before wetting
line, there win always be some pisca-
torial shdrps who steal out for a first
chance at the black bass, but that they
SHOULD be allowed to infringe ON the legal
protection for Potomac game fish without
public attention being called TO their
actions would not be Just TO the mem bers
who have contributed for the purposes
OF legally and by actual operations pro-
tecting. and improving the fishing for

STRINGENT RACE RULES
L. A. w. MAY PREVENT RIDERS
USING BORROWED "AD" WHEELS.
Several to he Ridden in Memorial
Day Race Here-The Seces-
sion in California.

1t is probable that the L. A. w. racing
board will before long be compelled to
adopt more stringent rules regarding the
distinction between amateurs and profess
SIGNALS. 1t may be, however that the con-
stitution and bylaws are already worded
in such way as to bring about the desired
result. If So they will have to be differ
entity interpreted or more rigidly enforced.
The question at point was brought to the
attention of Herbert w. FoltZ. of this city,
the member of the racing board for the dis
trict composed of Michigan. Indiana, Ohio
and the Southern States, by a communica-
ton received from j. w. Brigham of
Louisville Mr.. Brigham is an authority on
cycling himself, but the practice of anna
tours riding wheels furnished them by
agents of manufacturers seemed to him
violation of the rules, and he has asked
Mr.. Foltz if such a practice affects the
amateur status Mr.. Foltz has made the
following reply:
ut has been, L believe, the custom of the
racing board to shut one eye to the prac-
tice of loaning wheels to amateurs but the
practice has recently become so general
that it demands attention. The fact of an
amateurs riding borrowed wheel and tires
will have great weight with the board in
an investigation of his amateur status. 1t
is long step toward professionalism"
The custom of riding borrowed wheels
prevails here and in the Decoration day
road race there viii be number of riders
who will use wheels loaned them for the
occasion by manufacturers or agents. 1t
is a good 'ad' for the manufacturer or
agent if he can pick the best men and
mount them on his wheels. but it begins
to look as if it would be dangerous for the
not place such riders in the professional
class though as Mr. Foltz says the fact
borrowed wheel would tend to influence
judgment against him if his amateur status
should be questioned. Clause d, Section 9,
Article 8 Of the constitution, in reference
to the amateur status, says that an anna
teur shall become professional for &C
cepting directly or indirectly, for cycling
any remuneration, compensation or expense
