RISE IN VANDERBILT rs.
The Session Would Have Been Without In
cideni Except for The Furry.
SHARP ADVANCES WERE RECORDED
The shorts Became Alarmed aud
Toward tho Clase a Covering
MoHemeHs "n an Extensive Scale
Was In Pr0GrcSs-Suxnra ana Nam
hnttnn Showed Net Losses.

New York. March 12-Speculation at
the Stock Exchange early in the day
was oeVold OF feature and extreme dull
ness prevailed, but during the afternoon
me market developed an unusual degree
OF strength, and in q number of in
stances sharp advances were recorded
had It not been for the Vanderbilt
group the session would have been
without important incident but the
iact that q. steady absorption OF New
OK Central, Canada Southern and
omaha took place inspired the traders
with bullish proclivities with more con-
hdence than on any previous day this
week.
The rise in the Vanderbits was ac-
companied by reports that several prom
ment capitalists had taken hold Of those
stocks for q considerable advance on
the strength of the refunCling operations
OF the Lake Shore and other companies
and intended to extend their purchases
to other parts Of the list. Whether these
rumors have any foundation III fact is
not known, but they certainly alarmed
the shorts. and towards the close a COW
erlnS movement OH an extensive scale
was in progress. The most important
gains were per cent. in Omaha Com
mon, on the Cons olidated Gas, in
western Union, u in Jersey Central
and 1as in New York Central. The re-
mainder or the list improved to the ex-
tent OF A617s per cent
The jump In Consolidated Gas took
place In the face Of the Introduction of
bill II, the Legislature TO provide for
one dollar gas. Tobacco advanced from
1917 to 1875 on the decision rendered by
Vice Chancellor Reed in Trenton in
favor Of the company in the suit brought
to annul the charter. but the rise led
to free offerings and q reaction took
place to 7Sh.
Shortly before the close Rubber Pre-
ferred broke from 70E TO 6S3i, but this
did not prevent the general list from
closing strong a the highest figures OF
the day. The only stocks that showed
net losses for the day were Sugar and
Manhattan, and these lost only x per
cent. Manhattan is still influenced by
the recent reduction in the rate OF di-
vidends. and Sugar Tails 10 sympathize
with the rest or the market. because or
fears that the new tariff bill will be less
favorable to the company than has been
expected.
Total sales 1880 shares. The bond
market was strong in tone. The sales
aggregated $l,550,O00.

Eds. Record Union: Under the
caption of Another Phase of the Sun
day Question in to-day's issue of the
Record Union," you make a pretty
strong argument for the proponents of
Sunday legislation and paternalism in
Government, but il seems to me you al
together lose sight of the principle in
volved. Like the advocates of the Sun
day law now before the Legislature,
you say in response to the threatened
split in the League of American Wheel
rnen over the Sunday racing question,
that 1T is not a question of religion or
of faith: it is not a question
whether the first or the last day of
the week should be kept holy It is
simply a question of proprety." Yet
you quote with seeming approval the
position of the opponents of Sunday
racing, that a large part of the people
respect the day from religious convic
tion and the teaching of their youth,
and that to sanction Sunday racing is
To neediessly offend that body of people
and outrage the sentiment that prevails
among them" That's exactly the po-
sition. 1t is not a question Of fairness
factions of wheelmen / care moth
tu be trampled on, to be wholly disre-
garied for fear of "outraging the SEN
timent that prevails among a large
part of the people, who respect the
day from religious conviction" In
other words this large body of people
cannot enjoy their religious belief and
privilege unless all the other people are
compelled to show outward respect for
that same religion. Is not that the
same spirit which inspired the Inquisi-
tion the rigorous Sunday laws of the
Colonies, the persecution of the Quak-
ers and Baptists in Massachusetts, the
lanishment of Roger Williams? Yes
and the relentless persecution and inn
prisonment of Seventh-Day Adventists
in Georgia and Tennessee? 1t certain
ly is 1t is much better. as you declare,
to submit to the judgment of the
majority in any manner where rights
Of conscience are concerned. The con-
science of one man is as sacred and
as much entitled TO freedom and free
exercise as that of all the rest of the
world. Were this not so, there could
not have been the Reformation nor the
revolutionary war nor the freedom of
Americas slaves.
Why cannot the large part of the
people whose early teachings and relig-
ious convictions" are opposed to Sun

Sacrame ntans Who Will Hit Carson
at the Right Time.

Sheriff Johnson yesterday asked and
was granted by the Supervisors ten
days leave Of absence from the State,
TO date from the 18th inst, for the
purpose of visiting and examining the
penitentiary at Carson New. And he
never cracked a smile while he did it.
There is to be a big rabbit drive in
that vicinity on the 18th, and it is said
that other county officials will this
week ask for leave Of absence to wit
ness it.
1t so happens that the CorbettF
simmons battle will take place while
these gentlemen are over there and it
is barely possible some of them will
take it in. Dan Stuart had it all quietly
arranged so as to just hit the date of
the Sacramentans' visit. They feel
that they are just too lucky for any
thing.
4. 1t is also said there is to be an edi-
torial convention in Carson on or about
the 18th.
