American railroad stocks are once again
selling in the London market and the
home traders seem to have heon somewhat
hehindhand in catching on To tho move
ment to turn a lively dollar. But the
London buying Is something of surprise
all around, for the matter of that Tho
movement indeed, seems 20 have been
spontaneously inspired since the British
financial press has given it no especial en-
couragement or prognostication and on
the contrary has continued TO bear every
thing but straight and sure dividend pay
ing American securities The crop
prospects and the certainty of n new tariff
seem 60 have made n combination that
the usually slow Britishor has recognized
with somewhat greater promutness than
have his American cousins, and the Brit
ish trader is selling his own railroads Co
invest again In the prospects Of the land
Of the free and the home Of the boom.
The News financial department., which
rarely ventures to prophecy or in anyway
teni 10 influence its readers, has recently
been bullishly inclined despite itself, and
IL usually knows what IL Is talking about.

Americans We Are Interested In.

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett has been TO
New York. has viewed the city, ana
especially the new home of his newspaper
In IL, and has gone away again. What ne
thought about 1t he seems not TO nave
divulged; at least no newspaper has
printed any authoritative expression oil
his sentiments. MIR. Bennett is one OF two
American citizens whose preferoncc for
living abroad excites a good deal CT inter-
est In the minds or their countrymen.
The other one Is Mr.. William Waldorf
Astor. There are thousands of Americans
who live abroad without the least distur-
bnnce OF the equanimity OF their feilow
citizens at home, but with Mr.. BenDett
and Mr. Astor it IL different There
seems to be so much to interest and retain
them in this country that the average
American Is surprised at the continuous
ness Of their preference to live elsewhere.
No doubt the whole secret of IL Is that
they like To live where they can have the
most fun, but one NAV conjecture that
blended with that comprehensive senti-
ment there may be n conviction that since
the locker on sees most OF the game there
are certain advantages In keeping 40 such
distance from tho work which ono
directs as TO be free from over distraction
by details, and able to concentrate atten
tion on vital concerns.
To all appearances Mr.. Bennett's
newspaper and Mr.. Astor's real es-
yet each Of these on-resident proprietors
is credited with activity and shrewdness
in the management of his property, and
with careful supervision OF all that his
agents do. MIR. Astor Is as much credited
with building the Waldorf Hotel as
though he had personally stood over its
construction, and Mr.. Bennett IS rs much
credited with building the new Herald
building and moving his newspapers up
town, and with all the recent innovations
in the management of his properties, In
Guiding the owls that wink and the bronze
automatons that strike the hour, as If no
never had been farther from New York
than Newport No doubt there are Ameri-
cans who conduct themselves quite as
much like persons in the Arabian Nights
or Monte Cristo as MIR. Bennett and Mr..
Astor, but they are not so inseparably
connected with large quasi-public inter
ests as those gentlemen, and therefore arc
not SO constantly present in the public
mind Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Astor are in
teresting men, and no wonder. The man
who does just as he darn pleases, and has
abundant means to do with, ought to be
Interesting to observers even though he
may often grow tiresome to himself

BROOKLYN WRECK.
Capt. Cooks Oficfaf Report Submit
ted to Secretary Herbert.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE official report
of the grounding Of the Brooklyn on Schooner
ledge, in the Delaware river, was received to-
day by Secretary Herbert from Capt. Cook,
the commander of the vessel. Capt. Cook re-
cites the facts and asks for a court of in
quiry. He says:
t'This is g. most deplorable accident and one
that has fallen like pail upon officers and
crew, thoroughly interested, in the ship her
welfare and her care. From all the facts at
present within my knowledge, l feel that the
accident came from no neglect of precaution
or judgment ON my part. Pilot Wall holds a
regular license as pilot. and insists that he
had the best range, and cannot account for
the disaster. Recent blasting at this ledge,
which / understand has been going on, may
have left some loose rock not before in the
channel"
1t is generally believed at the navy depart
ment that the accident was practically un-
avoidable. The request for a court of inquiry
has, however, been granted.
Edwin G. Cramp, chief engineer Of the
Cramp Ship and Engine Building company,
tonight made the following statement regard
ing the accident to the Brooklyn:
Secretary of the Navy Herbert this after
noon telegraphed President Charles H. Cramp
of our company instructing him to take en-
tire charge of the repairs to the Brooklyn
and push the work rapidly as possible.
These repairs will be under the supervision Of
the board of changes, Of which Naval Con-
structors Feaster and Linard are members.

Municipal Courts Decision UphoIds
the PawnbroLers' Ordinance.

The city won it's case against H.
Lyle in the municipal court yesterday,
when the loan agent was convicted Of
violating the law regulating pawn

FUSED to take out a. pawnbroker's IL
cerse or to submit to the police a list
OF articles left with him, upon which
loans were obtained. The contention
OF Lytle's attorney throughout the
trial was that the ordinance, under
Which his client was arrested. in its
definition of a pawnbroker, exceeded
the BOUNDS sought to be established
by the legislature granting the COM
men council the right to regulate this
branch of business, and, in it's broad
wording, was made to include every
Kind of loaning business where security
was required, not excepting even bank

the arguments Of the city attorney
were based upon the ground that the
ordinance was not ultra wires, and

Mr.. Lytle's. When the verdict Of the
court was announced, Lytle's counsel
moved for stay Of judgment, but
upon an objection from the city at

sentence was postponed until tonnor-

pension of the Rules.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house
had a busy day today An unusually
large number Of bills were passed
though few of them were of any con-
siderable Importance. 1t was suspen-
sion day, and the usual obstructive tao
tics were unavailing. The bills passed
included the old bill which has been
pending before congress for so many
years to retire John N. Quackenbush,
who was court nlarttalled and suspend
ed from the naval service in 1874 for
drunkenness, as a commander under
date Of June 1, 1895, also bill to re-
imburse the heirs of Albert Augustine,
of Rose Hill, Iowa, in the sum of $3.50
for two cows destroyed in the Cayuse
war of 184S. While a bill to reduce
the amount allowed steamboat inspect
crs for travelling expenses was under
consideration, Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., o.
took occasion to remark upon the sud
den outburst of economy" displayed by
the present administration on the eve
of its outgoing in the matter of salar-
les and fees.
About 4:30 .. m. the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill was taken
UP and fair progress made before the
hour of adjournment An Intellectual
attempt was made to strike out the
appropriation Of $4,000 paid by the
United States annually under the pro-
visions of the Berlin treaty for the
maintenance of the King of Samoa and
the present government of the Samoan
Islands.
Mr.. Sherman CRep., N. " from the
committee on inter-s state commerce,
called up what is known as the ''anti-
scalper'' railroad ticket bill. A half
dozen members jumped to their feet.
II suggest that time be fixed for the
consideration of that BILL said Mr..
Terry Oem., Ark.) 1T is a very import
ant measure, and should not pop up
here like jack-in-the-box. without
notice." w. A. Stone Rep.. Pa.) raised
the question of consideration against
the BILL and the house by vote Of
"a to SO refused to consider It.
Among the bills passed under the
suspension of the rules was one relat-
ing to the entry of lands in the Sioux
Indian reservation; extending until
Jan. 1, 1899, the time in which parties
entitled to purchase Northern Pacific
lands may purchase them.
