STOCK MARKET IMPROVED.
Leading Stocks Firm and Good Feel
ing Generally Prevails.

New York, Jan. 19-After an irregular
opening the stock market improved, and an
advance OF 1-4a1 A per cent wasrccorded.
There was considerable covering on the
part OF the traders who sold yesterday on
the Kentucky bank failures, and on vague
ruInors of embarrassmentsi in uptown com
TnerciaI circles in this city.
The firmness Of the London, and the re-
duction in the Bank OF Germany rate Of
discount from to 4 per cent had slim
ulating influence. Sugar ranged between
116 and 116 "a. The reduction in refined
sugar caused some selling Of the stock at the
opening.

'rhe House District Committee gave a
hearing today on the subject of the occu-
nancy of tie Center Market sidewalks by
the truck gardeners. Commissioner Trues-
dell was present To represent the District
and ex-liuv. ordway the Market Company.
In his statement MI TrUesdell S iid il was
not the intention of the District Commits
sianers 10 remoye the farmers and garden
ers, who now occupy the sidewalks along
B 81 rect, as he expected Congress TO enact
the necessary legislation on the subject.
Then you don't intend to execute the
oraer already lssued?'' asked Mr.. Shannon.
No, SIR was the reply.
Gen Ordway made statement ia which
he said in substance that there was a great
misunderstanding touching the attitude OF
the market company toward the occupants
OF the spaces in B street. Ii had been made
60 appear that the market company was ia
some way trying to persecute the mar
ketmen. when, in fact, the very opposite
was the fac. The company had been doing
and was doing ali in its power to protect
those people. This was shown by the COM
pany's keeping out as nearly as il could
the Arab element and all other persons who
do not raise their own stuff The compa-
ny pOilC5 rs TO allow pihS tttudl pIouuCclh
Go occupy the space.
Mr. Truesdell intimated that the mar
ket was not, in his opinion, such bene-
factor, after all, to the poor. farmers, as
they used to charge for spaces not only
against the wall.of the market, but side
walks, as well. This, too. without any
warrs<S OF the law. This practice, he
said, was only stopped after litigation was
commenced in the courts.
Mr. Hulick wanted to know how much
themarket company received annually from
this source, but the Commissioner was un-
able TO give the information.
Then said Mr Hulick, "since the in
PRODUCTION OF the joint resolution for the
relief of the farmers and truckmen, the as
sessrnents againstthem have been stOpped?'
The Commissioner answered in the af-
firmative.
General Ordway explained tn at the
company received petition signed by
5000 occupants Of stands inside hemarket
praying that the farmers and truCkmen be
allowed to continue the occupancy OF B
street.
MIR. Truesden said that while the resolu-
tiun read that it was for the relief of the
farmers and truckmen, it was really for the
relief of the market company. He hoped
for the necessary legislation from Congress
which would give the Commissioners au-
thority to provide shelter for all farmers
who desired TO do business on b street, in
year OF the market.

AN AWFUL DISASTER AT SEA
Twelve Men Sealded to Death by
the Explosion of a Boiler.
Ten Others Seriously Injured, Four
of Whom Died on the Day Fol-
lowing the Accident.

San Francisco, Jan. l9.-The steamer
Rio de Janeiro brings news that one OF the
boilers of the French steamer Sachalien ex-
ploded while the vessel was off the Chinese
coast on December 2, bound from Singa
pore for Hong Kong. Elevenof tile stokers
in the fireruom and one OF the engineers
were killed instantly by the explosion or
by the scalding steam
The chief stoker was so badl injured that
he died few hours afterward, and four
other firemen died the next day as result
of their burns.
The vessel was crowded with passengers
and for a time there was the widest con-
fusion on board. The passengers had just
assembled in the saloon for dinner, when
there came a loud report like that of
cannon from the direction OF the engine
room. The deck beams were torn up.
Gratings were sent flying in the air, and the
steamer trembled from stem TO stern. A
dense cloud Of steam and smoke issued from
the matches, and there was deafening roar
or escaping steam.
The officers of the vessel, who were on
the decks, rushed to their places at the
lifeboats, ,andfrom the cabins came scream
ing women and shouting men, all believ
ing that they were fighting for their lives.
1t was some time before order could be
restored and the extent OF the disaster
was ascertained.
As soon as the steam had cleared away
fnen were sent below into the stoke hold.
Eleven of the firemen lay about the
floor before the ruined boiler. dead or
within thp last ragD with their flesh mar
boiled by the terrific bath of superheated-
steam In which the explosion had plunged
them. Ten other firemen, who were in
the stoke hold were badly burned. -Four
OF them died during the night following
the explosion. The dead firemen and en-
gineers were buried at sea.
