BLOCKADE UNBROkEN.
Charleston Still Invested by the North
Atlantic Squadron.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 1.-THE weather
today was not propitious for the vessels Of
the blockade fleet, though it suited ad-
m1rably the purposes of a blockade runner.
No fugitive craft, however, attempted to run
the gauntlet Of the fleet guarding the en-
trance to the harbor, and the big ships lay
at anchor in the rain, unable to engage in
daily custom Of the men aboard the ships
The arrival of the other vessels which have
been ordered to join the fleet is being looked
forward to with eagerness, particularly so
the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius which is to
run the blockade.
Tonight work on board the fleet consisted
of search light drills and light practice
The battleship Maine and the cruisers New
Kork, Columbia and Marb.ehead took part In
the drills. The search lights were flashed
across the sea and every corner and Granny
Of the surrounding shore was explored by
their rays.
The target practice was with the eight-inch
and the four-inch guns First Sergeant
Wagner and Privates Hardin and Sewman
who were hurt ON board the battleship Maine
yesterday morning by the premature ex-
dairy battery, are all right today. Hardin's
and Sewman's injuries consist only of flesh
wounds and in a few days they will be about
their duties as If nothing had happened to
them. Who Is responsible for the accident
will be learned in a few days, as an investi-
CATION has been ordered The injured men
from the Marblehead who were sent to the
Marine hospital are all doing well.
Arrang ements were concluded today for a

brilliant social affairs ever held in Charles

CENTERS IN STEELE
BREAK IN THE RAIL MARKET THE
FEATURE OF THE TRADE
WEEK.
A DEMAND FOR BESSEMER
WITH A LARGE USE OF IRON Al

PECTED.
DEMAND FOR BESSEMER
OF PRICES FAVORABLE.
Wool Highsr and Purchases mt the
London Sale the Largest for
Some Years.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Bradstreet's
on Saturday will say: The more IA
vOrable features of the business week
include sales Of 900 tons of steel
rails on the collapse Of the pool, which
promise work for the mills for months
to come; the advance in the price Of
print cloths, following the sale Of $780,
900 pieces from accumulated stocks,
and the starting up Of a number Of
important metal and industrial estab-
l1Shments throughout the East and
middle states. The recent reduction in
the price of steel billets of S. ton,
while rails were reduced only SO, fore
ShadoWed another cut in rail prices
or the breaking up Of the pool. The
latter finds prices from So to SO lower
than last week. One effect will be to
stimulate exports Of nails demand for
domestic Bessemer pig iron and for
ore and consumption Of iron and steel
generally. There Is a moderate i'll
crease in the demand for pig iron at
Plttsburg, and purchases have been
made by st. Louis stove makers Con-
siderable activity is reported in hem
lock leather. For wool the price is
higher, and American purchases at the
late London sale amount to As, 900 bales,
the heaviest total at any one such
sale since the speculative buying there
by Americans prior to the going into
effect of the Mckinley tariff The
movement Of prices is, on the whole,
favOroble.
Exports Of wheat, -four included,
from both coasts Of the United States
and from st. Johns, N B., amount
to 2,051,345 bushels from Feb to Feb.
10 inclusive the week being one day
short, as compared with 3,168 900 bush
els last week, 2,718,000 bushels In the

the week two years ago, zoos, 900 bush
els three years ago, and as contrasted
with 3,OS0,000 bushels in the CORE
spending week Of 1898. Exports of In
dian corn during the same period show
a very large gain, amounting to 4169,-
274 bushels as compared with 1865, 900
bushels last week, 3,143,0 900 bushels in

INTEREST IN INDUSTRIALS.
Other Stocks Have to Considerable
Extent Been Neglected.

NEW YORK, Feb. n-Bradstreet's re-
view of the stock market will on Saturday
say: No difficulty could be found in describ-
Ing the course Of this weeks market The
activity was entirely professional and took
the form of a bear movement in the indus
trials. The coal stocks were also unsteady
under the same kind of pressure but the
general railroad share list was firm and at
intervals showed more or less strength. while
the bond market has been very well held with
symptoms of public and foreign buying in
number of the speculative issues The
principal incidents Of the week were con-
nected with the investigation of industrial
trusts and monopolies by a committee Of the
New York legislature, causing a stop to be
put to buying support and liquidation Of spsc-
ulative holdings. The firmness of the rail-
road share list and the strength Of bonds
in the face of the break in the industr.a.s
was a subject of general remark.
There was considerable European buying
of certain classes of bonds, particularly The
Northern Pacifcs and Atchsons The mar
ket is bare OF really high grade investments
and this, with the high prices they COM
mand, has turned the inquiry toward he
more speculative classes. Europe did moth
ing in our stocks. Speculation in London has
been dull and depressed on the fears II
future complications in the East. The weak
ness of the coal stocks is the result Of con-
tinued dizziness In that trade. 1t would
seem that competition by low priced bitumi-
nous is hurting the market for anthracite.

KILLS CATS In THE PULPIT.
Disc ourage Tobacco Using.

CADILLAC, Mich, Feb. 1.-THE announce
ment that the Rev. w. l.. Laufman assisted
by DR.. G.. E. Miller, would kill two cats in
the pulpit of the Methodist church to Illus
trate Laufman's sermon on tobacco, was SUI
fcient to pack the church. Prominent on
the pulpit were packages OF fine cut and
plug chewing tobacco. Holding aloft pound
plug of tobacco, he assured his hearers that
1t contained enough grains of nicotine to
kill 200 men. Then the cats were brought up
by DIR. Miller. An assistant held them while
the doctor administered the nicotine The
first one died in minute and a half while
the attendant held 1t and three drops of nico-
tine were placed on its tongue. The next
cat, large one was administered only two
drops, the purpose being to illustrate the
sickness and spasms which the first dose Of
tobacco creates. second dose Of two drops
given, and in minute and quarter the
cat was dead. Rev. Laufman announced that
next Sunday he would kill some more cats
to show the effect of alcohol, and also have
on exhibition the stomach Of drunkard.

CANADIAN COMMISSIONERS
Well Pleased With the Result OF
Their WashfnStOu Visit

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-After a weeks
stay ct the capital city Messrs. Cartwright
and Davies, the Canadian Liberal cabinet
members will leave the city tomorrow for
their homes. According to the statements of
the commissioners they have had very sat
isfactory visit, having been given a cordial
and hearty reception by the public men On
whom they have called. They have found a
decided opinion ON the part of leading public
men that there should be a thorough invosti-
cation into the whole matter of trade between
the two countries. which should be made by
a commission of competent persons, and the
commissioners have no doubt that a reason
able basis can be reached on which recipro-
cal arrangements can be entered into.
In their report to the Dominion government
the commissioners will recommend the forIna-
ton of commission to make this inquiry,
and they hope that similar action will bs
taken by the government Of the United States.
The commissioners ridicule the idea that has
been suggested in some quarters that their
mission has been failure ard that they
have accomplished nothing worthy OF impor
lance. They realize, they say, that at this
time nothing tangible could be done with one
administration on the threshold OF departure
and an other one coming to the front

Railroad Mans View of the Steel
Rail Situation

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Stuyvesant Fish.
president OF the Illinois Central Railroad com
pany, was asked today if he could give some
explanation of the reported large order for
steel rails by his company. In reply he said:
FROM the surplus earnings Of the year ended
June 80, 1896, the directors of the Illinois
Central railroad at that time set apart
$4225 800 to be expended this year in better
ments At yesterdays meeting they not only
authorized the purchase of the full quota Of
rails recommended by the chief engineer for
this years renewals on the entire system.
q. 400 tons, but they also availed themselves
OF the low prices to buy "a 900 tons additional
The cost Of these additional rails, less value
OF old rails removed from track will be paid
Tor from the betterment fund. This will put
the road one year further in advance as
to renewals, and in substitution Of seventy
hve pound-rails for sixties and fifty-sixes.
III the other railroads will likewise avail
themselves of the present quotations to place
orders for enough rails to repair one-tenfh of
their entire mileage this year we shall GER
ta1nly see increased activity in every branch
OF trade at an early day. AS the general
commercial conditions are good and sound
prices of raw material and staple goods be-
ing unusually low, we need but revival in
the iron trade to set the wheels of commerce
in motion. l, for one, believe that we have
now got over the dead center. 1t remains
for others, manufacturers. merchants and
bankers alike. to see matters in the same
light"

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Evening Posts
financial cablegram says: sharp panic
on the Paris bourse and the Cretan news
made the stock market here weak throughout
the day. Except, however, for the liquida-
ton in home rails, the selling was chiefly
from Paris. Prices closed nearly at the
worst. Americans were sympath etically dull.
Consols were 1925. 1t is difficult to guage the
precise position of the markets, because while
the bull account on the exchange is appar-
emily trifng, the cheapness of money has
probably caused heavy speculative engage
ments for rise to have been financed from
outside quarters. The panicky condition of
the Paris bourse was due to a heavy selling
of Turkish securities. But the close was
above the worst. All the other continental
markets were fiat.
