NEW YORK, April 9.-Evening POSTS Lon
don financial cablegram: The stock markets
continued good today on cheap money. Gilt
edged stocks were naturally the best and
were most affected by the change in the bank
rate, the speculative markets being dampened
by the approach Of Easter, to say nothing Of
the unsettled political situation. The settle
ment has been satisfactorily concluded. Ameri-
cans were good, but the close under the
best. There is some disposition on the part
of those who bought Americans just after the
elections to realize as soon they can get a
fair profit. Canadian Pacifcs are bid for in
the street. About f200 900 in gold from the
Cape have been bought for Japan and the
continent at the previous price quoted. The
Paris bourse opened firm but closed dull. The

capacity until Monday morning last, when

In May last, Page sold out q half in

to one Richard n. Shaw, eolored EN-
ploye (the rest OF the property being al
ready mortgaged), and he then left the
city with his family and effects for Maine
and left me, as before, in charge of the

ard the reorganization committee The
superior power Of Congress in the matter,
he said could be inferred from the fact
that the CongIes1 had right TO suspend
and to :innui, if necessary, the charter uf
tie company.
Mr. Morgan said that all that was asked
was that the President continue the case
until Congress could act. He called at
tention TO the fact that Mr.. Cleveland
put off this agreement with Fitzgerald
until the last days of his Administration.
If there had been no extra session, the
scheme would have been executed by
decree in court, and the whole matter
would have been disposed OF by
the tine Congress met again. He believed
that that was the plan OF those in
terested.
Mr.. 1hurston replied to MIR Morgan. He
submitted. as part of his remarks,
reports from the Department Of the In
terror and from the Attorney General, TO
show that all of the correspondence re-
lating 10 the agreement could be had IN
those departments. Mr. Thurston said
that there was nothing dark or hidden
in the matter, no plan to defraud the
made by Gov. HoadIey, acting for the
Government, even TO the proposition re-
lating TO the sinking fund. Mr Hoadley
also stipulated that the sale should he an
open ore.
Mr.. Turpie said that nothing had yet
been shcwn TO justify the sale OF the sink
ing fund.
Mr.. Thurston said that the sinking fund
didn't cut any figure. The Govern
n.ent was to get $45,0O0,O0O over al
claims for the read, this TO include the
sinking fund, which amounts TO about
SIT, 100000. In other words, the Gov
ernment could keep the sinking fund, and
the committees bid would be only $685.
100000, the Whole debt OF the Govern
ment being about $4,000, 200.
Mr.. TurPe-So that in either case the
Government would get less than 80 cents
on the dollar.
Mr.. Thurston said that he was not max
ing any special plea for the company, The
first and second mortgages were due, and
there was 40 reason why the Government
holding such mortgages should not be
brought into court for an open sale. The
people OF the Northwest were looking for
a new ownership. They could then regu-
late rates, which they could not do now

in the constant clamor against the evils of

passed the Harris resolution it would re-
lease the 81 500 900 forfeit put up by
the prospective purcla sers If that were
released there was no telling what the
bids would be at the sale IL there was
Ia bigger guarantee bid Offered he would
vote for the re solution. Mr.. Thurston, in

CORONER'S OFFICE VACANT
DR.. c. NJ. Hammett, the Incumbent,
Tenders His Resignation.
Deputy Coroner GlaZehrook and DIR.
w. T.. Carr the Prominent Can
didates for the Place.

Beginning with today the office OF
coroner win be vacant until successor
TO DR., Charles NJ Hammett is appointed
Yesterday the Commissioners received DR..
take effect on August / 1t was, how
ever, accompanied by request for the
regular leave OF absence, which was
granted and will take effect today and con
tiBue for fifteen days In the interim II
is believed that Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook will officiate as he has done on
previous occasions during the absence Of
DR.. Hammett.
DR.. Hammet was appointed coroner
tree years ago ty President Cleveland
and has made a most thorough andSeffi-
cient official. During his term of office
hundreds of cases have come under his
jurisdiction, ali OF which have received
careful investigation. DR.. Hammett has
FIR some tine been considering the adj
visabiity OF giving up the office, owing
to the large volume OF work which devOlv ed
upon hIn. After his vacation he win
devote his entire time TO private practice,
and Continue at his old location, No. "A r
street southwest.
There is cons derable speculation as t0
the probable successor of DR.. Hauunett.
AT present the leading candidates in the
field are Deputy Coroner GldzeDrook and
DIR William L. Carr, chief OF the ST aft Of
the Emergency Hospital. A ruInor was
current last night that DR.. Carr lad
already been rendered the office, and
would soon enter upon the discharge OF
his duties. This, however, the GiOctor
denied last night, and even said that
he had not been consulted in the matter.
He admitted that possibly some of his
friends We're looking after his interests
in that respect, but he had not yet
decided whether or not he would accept
the position if offered it, AS to his
having received the appointment or been
assured OF it, there was no truth in the
statement.
1t is generally conceded that Dr. Glaze
brook stands good show OF becoming
coroner. Certainly he is well qualified to
fill the position, not alone on account of
his ability as u physician, but his knowledge
of Tie duties OF the office as well / win
probably be several days before the selet,-
ton is made known.
