NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. 15.-The stock market
underwent a decided change to-day from
recently ruling conditions and displayed
a degree Of spirit that has not been wit
messed for some time past. The only
apparent influences upon the speculation
were decidedly favorable, including the
exceptionally strong international trade

by the excess of exports over imports,

declaring of the regular quarterly divi-
dend OF ~ per cent on Chicago Cas-
helped that stock. and the assumption
that changes in the tariff, calculated TO
unfayorably affect the American Sugar

used by the bulls to advance the price OF
that speciality with sympathetic effect

addition to the increased activity showed

tx" RAY IN A DAMAGE SUIT
Roentgen's Discovery in Court for the
First Time.

R~oentgen's Discovery in Court for the
First Time.
New York, Nov. 10. -"X' ravs
were used in court for the first time in
this country in a damage suit before a
jury in the Brooklyn superior court.
Martin Hutchinson, 8 years old, was
subjected to ray examination for sew
eral minutes. He was injured on
Christmas night, 1896, by being eject
ed from a street car. The plaintiff
contends that the head of the left
humerns was fractured from the boys
fall from the car when the conductor
threw him off.
A dynamo was placed in front of the
jury box and nea the lawyers table,
and a large Crooke's tube was used.
Soon after the case had been resumed
young Hutchinson's jacket and outside
shirt were removed. The arms and
shoulders were exposed.
Before the examination the question
as to whether any possible injury
would result from the examination was
uiSSuppcN' ~ w hOSS, WHO leD-
resents the plaintiff, insisted that a
limit as to the time of the examination
should be set. 1t was decided that it
should be three minutes.
When the boy took his seat with his
left shoulder about six inches from the
Crooke's tube, he smiled at the Jury
and the lawyers. DIR. William Morton
looked at the boys left shoulder
through a Horoscope, and Judge John
son. who presided at the trial, stood up
and timed the proceeding. George l..
Fowler then took the Horoscope and
looked at the boys left arm and should
er until time was called.
DIR. Morton and DR.. Fowler will tell
on the stand the result of the examina-
ton. They are witnesses for the de-
Tense.
Previous to that made in court there
had been examinations of the boys
shoulder. The examinations were
made to show the result of the frac-
lures.

AGAINST THE CANAL.
Sure to Be Much Oppositson at the
Coming Session.

Cohiih6
Washington, Nov. 15.-One of the
prominent measures which will be
brought before congress at the coming
session is the consideration of the Mic
aragua canal. From the present out
look it is probable that no action will
be taken, and that a final vote on the
bill will not be reached. The main
proposition which is now pending is the
construction of the canal by a COM
pany, the bonds of which to the amount
of $40, O00. coo shall be guaranteed by
the government.
1t is not strange, in view of the re-
cen complications which have arisen,
that members of congress hesitate about
going into a scheme involving any such
guarantee. 1t may mean that the Uni
ted States will not only pay the interest,
but, in the end, will be compelled to
pay the principal of these bonds. There
is also fear of a scheme or trick by some
underhanded and Underground meth
DDS. People do not care to be e~ntangled
with a concern which is operating for
its own profit. Many men would gladly
vote for the building of the Nicaragua
canal if the United States would have
absolute control, and if it was assured
that it could be built for 500, 900, 900,
but, as the matter stands now, it is
very doubtful whether the canal can be
built for that amount, and it is also
doubtful whether the company which
own the concessions will be able to
carry out the plans and purposes of the
bill which has long been pending before
congress.
1t is we'll known that the greatest
benefits that would come from building
the canal would accrue first to the At
lantic coast-New York and New Eng.
land-then the Gulf states, next the
Pacific states, and following, possibly
the states bordering on the Mississippi
river, which would ship their products
to the Pacific coast by way of the Mic
aragua canal. 1t must be acknowl-
edged that the interior states would de-
rive little benefit, and is it not to be
wondered at that their representatives
hesitate about them embarking in any
such undertaking. Even big Tom
Reed, the speaker of the house, hailing
from Maine, a great maritime state,
hesitates about putting the seal of his
approval, or, in other words, allowing
the Nicaragua canal bill to come before
the house, when it involves such a vast
expenditure from the United States
treasury.
These are the reasons that will pre-
vent the consideration and passage of
the Nicaragua canal bill at the coming

NOT THE RIGHT TRAIN.
Missouri Robbers Were Wrong in Their
Reckoning.


Kansas City, Nov. 15.-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train known as the St.
Louis fast mail, which leaves Kansas
City at 8 P. NJ, was held up by five
masked robbers at $3.50 tonight at the
Chicago & Alton crossing, just east of
Independence, and less than a mile
from the famous blue cut, in which
three tra%inrobberies have occurred
within the past year.
The robbers were disguised as women
and when the engineer saw them swing
ing "a lantern across the track, an APP
parent signal of danger, he did not
hesitate to stop. The engines crew
was covered with revolvers. Conductor
Dennis O'Brien and Brakeman Michael
stepped out to see what was the matter,
and were greeted by a volley of bullets,
which caused the greatest confusion in
the passenger cars. The conductor and
brakeman were compelled to cut the
express and baggage cars from the rest
OF the train, and the engineer and fire.
man were made to get down from their
cab. The robbers quickly jumped
aboard and took the engine and express
car about two miles further east, where
they stopped ana compelled Express
Messenger Williams to open his car.
He offered no resistance, as he carried
no treasure. The robbers had evident
ly intended to stop the St. Louis lin
tied express, which leaves Kansas City
at a late hour, and were greatly sur
prised upon discovering that the cars
which they had captured contained
nothing of value. In their a g thev
bounced upon the express messenger
and went through his pockets, but SO. So
was all they secured. After this they
quickly left the train and disappeared
In the darkness. After a delay of over
an hour the train was got together
again and started on its journey.
The county marshal and his men
were at the scene OF the robbery very
soon after, but there is every probable
ity that the robbers were safely in In
dependence or Kansas City before any
organized effort wal made to capture
them.

THREE AGAINST ONE.
An Alleged Conspiracy to Wipe bolivia
on the Map.

on the Map.
New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says: A
rlar for a dreibund of Chile, Peru and
Argentina is in existence, which, If
adopted by the three governments, will
wipe Bolivia off the South American
map, Chile, Peru and Argentina divid-
ing her territory. Startling as this
statement is, there are many who are
inclined to give it credence. Without
A doubt some international of i'm
portance is under contemplation. Chile
and Peru have become entangled with
Bolivia, and what the result will be no
one can tell.
The demands of the alarmists for an
explanation from the government, it is
generally believed, are justified. Senior
Salinas, Chile's minister to Sucre, Bo-
livia, has gon to Santiago to confer
with the government on the situation.
The government fatty denies that he
will not return to Sucre, though there
are grave fears that he will be muir
dered if he does return, as the feeling
there against Chile is intense.
In the clubs, in cafes and at social
gatherings, everywhere in Bolivia
everybody hears Chile talked of as a
faithless nation. Reasons for all the
feeling against Chile are to he found in
the rebellion of 1891, and it's bearing
on the Ancion treaty. The revolution
.sk, ,,n,,;,nl 60 pnl;uin &c che uyp,Il
recognize the belligerency of the rebels,
that if they were victorious they would
give to Bolivia two years after victory
the two Peruvian provinces OF Tacana
and africa, held temporarily by Chile
under the Ancion treaty.
More than six years elapsed since
the victory of the revolutionists, and
Chile has not yet fulfilled her promise,
for the reason that by doing so she
would trample on the treaty. Bolivia
now insists on the fulfllment of this
promise, which Chile holds is illegal.
In the meantime Chile recalled Senior
Lira, the minister of Chile to Peru,
who belonged to the revolutionary
party, and has sent Senior Vicente
Santa Cruz, a Balmacedist, there with
instructions to sound Peru on an alli-
ance against Bolivia, against which
the government of Peru has grievances.
The plan is to bring about a war with
Bolivia and for Peru's assistance it
promises to return Peru the provinces
of Tacana and africa without putting
the question to popular vote or de-
handing of Peru the 10, 900, 00O soles
ransom, as provided in the Ancion
treaty. Chile has also prepared to
furnish Peru with all necessary arms
and munitions to carry on a war with
Bolivia.
In this connection the dreibund
against Bolivia is considered. Argen-
tina, it is said, will be invited into the
alliance to give strength to the move
ment.
The Heraldo says hat it is reported
all international affairs between Chile
and Bolivia and Peru will soon be sat
isfactorily settled, except the CONNER
cial and police treaty, drawn by b.
livia, and leaving the solution of the
Tacana-Arica question until next year.

A VALUABLE CYCLOPEDIA.


P"piiSs hicsehbeu " ZIG Il TtsIuenbs
Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Sherman, Minister Romero of Mexico,
and Minister Merou of Argentine, mem
bers of the executive committee of the
bureau of American republics, were at
the White House today and presented
the first volumn of the commercial di-
rectory of the American republics to
President Mckinley. There was con-
siderable formality about the matter,
the presentation being made in the blue
parlor. Secretary Sherman presented
the volume, saying the work was re-
garded as of "~lch vast practical i'm
p%ortance TO the commerce of our coun-
try, as to be we'll worthy that we
should come in a body to present it to
you. Upon looking through its pages
you will discern it's %far-reaching value
as a factor in disseminating general in
formation respecting the natural re-
sources, the peculiar commercial activi.
ties, the varying occupations, the in
dustries and the latent capabilities of
the countries of the Western hemis-
phere."
President Mckinley made a formal
response, expressing his interest in the
work of the bureau and the hope that
the publication would lead to a closer
commercial relation between the repub-
lies of America. With the volume was
transmitted a letter TO the president
from Joseph P. Smith, director of the
bureau, in which he stated the objects
of the publication. 1t is a commercial
cyclopedia OF the Western hemisphere,
intended to furnish information for the
benefit of merchants and a~griculturists.
President Mckinley has been congratu-
lated from time to time during the
progress OF the work, and has shown
great interest in it.
