at pm, a time for memorial services
for the late Jos. s. Earle, a senator from
South Carolina.
Mr.. Pettigrew SD secured the passage
Of a resolution calling upon the interstate
commerce commission to furnish the Senate
list of the railroad companies which have
complied " holly, in part or not at all with
the law of Congress providing that safety
appliances be affixed to railroad cars. The
resolution also calls for the number CT per-
sons killed by the railroads during the past
year.
The contest between the friends of the
immigration bill and those who favor
prompt action with reference to the sale of
the Kansas Pacific railroad developed at
this juncture.
Mr. Lodge CMass) moved to take up the
immigration bill and proceed with its con-
Sideration.
As soon as the import of the motion was
realized, Mr.. Gear Uowa) was on his feet
with objection.
Mr.. Lodge called attention to the fact
that he had made motion to take up the
immigration bill and had not asked unani-
nous consent for IT'S consideration. Mr..
Gear adverted to the Importance of giving
prompt attention to that part of the Presi-
dents message in which Mr.. Mckinley had
asked that Congress confer upon the eXecu-
tive by legislation full power to buy in the
Kansas Pacific railroad He said he would
tomorrow introduce a measure comforting
upon the executive authority requested.
He hoped that neither the immigration bill,
W " LitIl he was cHtlTclS ifltuuiS, hui any
thing else would be permitted to interfere
with prompt consideration of that proposed
legislation.
MIR. Morgan expressed his qualification
that the President had requested Congress
TO confer upon the executive power to act
at the sale of the Kansas Pacific road in
such manner would best protect the in
terests of the government
Pending the consideration of the Kansas
Pacific matter, Mr.. Carter (Mont), chair
man of the census committee requested
that the measure providing for the federal
census of 1900 reported to the Senate at
the last session, be recOmmitted to the COM
mittee.
To this Mr.. Chandler, the author of the
bill, objected, but after some explanation
by Mr.. Carter the bill was recommitted as
requested.
Mr. Lodge then gave notice that he would
call up the immigration bill at the conclu-
sion of the present unfinished business.
Mr. Gear announced promptly that he
would contest that motion
Mr. Allison, in the hope. as he said. that
the gentlemen might reach an amicable
agreement moved, at 1:35 pm. that the
Senate adjourn, and the motion prevailed.

higher range of prices. and II soon became
apparent that the large interests were again
at work in the market from the way prices
We're bid up around the noon hour This
caused the shorts to run and the whole
market rallied
London cables reported lower prices for
our stocks and tendency to sell but this
was not reflected in the local market which
steadily continued upward. This continued
selling for London account WAS due IN tho
Presidents reference to International hi
metallism
The good feeling and tone of the early
trading continued throughout the day with
the buying very good. and the entire air. as
regards speculation, entirely changed IN
the street
sugar transactions today were the largest
Tor some time. and the price of the stock
was very materially increased. II opened

there was large block of shorts trying 10

the price was marked up 10 li5l2. Ahere
was continued talk regarding extra ,iyt-
dend
The same good buying which has been so
apparent In the grangers of late was again
very noticeable today, and these stocks
continued their advance to the extent OF
about one point. There is plenty of good
talk concerning these securities around the
street. Northwestern directors today de-
clared the regular dividend of ~ per cent
on the common stock and Il. on the pre-
ferred.
Jersey Central continued weak today and
sold of during the early trading. but the
price rallied later on some covering OF
shorts and closed about the opening quota
ton.
The reports of railroad earnings for the
month Of November continue more than en-
couraging, and il is expected that reports
OF the Burlington and st. Paul roads for
the same period will be enormous
The foreign exchange market today was
steadier, with rates about yesterdays clos
Ing. There is a fair demand, but the sup
ply, particularly of grain bills, is not as
large as yesterday.
The high range Of prices In the market
continued up to the close with the last
quotations. with few exceptions the best
prices for the day.

Mr. Chandler called attention to the fact
mat The credentials were notain coustitu-

WILL DE RESUMED.
The Investigation by the senate Civil
Service Committee.

Service Committee.
The Senate committee civil service
and rctrenchment will resume investiga-
lions of the practical operations of the civil
service law in few days. To Star re-
porter. today, Senator Pritchard, chairman
of the committee, said he hoped to continue
the investigation so that a report to the
Senate might be made by January II.
He will be here during the Christmas
holidays, and in order to facilitate the bust
ness of the committee will probably take
testimony throughout the holidays. AS all
the testimony IS reported stenograp hicaIly
absent members can avail themselves OF
the records OF the testimony.
The operation of the clvll service law, as
applied to the internal revenue service will
be the first subject for investigation by the
committee when ii resumes its session.
1t is expected the committee will give an
expression of opinion on the question of
the application of the law to deputy reve-
rue collector. which is now pending be-
fore the Attorney General for his opinion.
Senator Pritchard is of the opinion that
the civil service law does not include dep
uty collectors in its scope, but the views
of the entire committee on this subject
are to be developed.
Before the Investigations are over the
civil service commissioners will be given
an opportunity to testify and will be re-
quested to give the committee statement
regarding the cost of the commission and
the condition of the public service under
civil service reform.
