PRESIDENT Mckinley seems to
have taken the St. Louis conven-
ton and the millions of voters
who supported it's platform at
their word. That convention
declared that the civil service law
was placed on the statute books by
the Republican party and that
the party renewed its repeated
declarations that it should be
thoroughly and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practic-
able" That is what the President
did by his recent civil service
order prohibiting the removal of
men and women from positiont
except upon written charges and
permitting them to have OPP
portunity to reply to these charges
wherever made. While the order
has displeased many who had hop
ed to see faithful officials removed
in order to make places for them,
it has strengthened the one weak
spot in the civil service and is thus
commenced by those whose only
interest is the welfare of the nation
and the party.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 12-Much parade was
made yesterday Of the alleged conversion
of some of the leading bear operators on
the exchange to the bull side Of the mar
ket. Today's developments prove that
there is very large and aggressive con-
tingent still left in the market. The OPP
Grafton known in Wall street parlance
as testing the market had for several
days failed to cause any marked move
ment in either direction. That is to say,
short selling by the bears had failed to
induce any large liquidation and purchas-
es by the bulls had equally failed to in
vite any large followers. Skilled obser-
yers had arrived at the conclusion that
the market was due for period of dull
ness, barring the development of some
markedly significant news. The harden
ing Of prices last night and the further
advance this morning looked like a ter
mination Of the bear campaign. Yet in
the two final hours of the market the
bears succeeded in working a sharper
decline throughout the whole list than
has been accomplished on any day of
their campaign. They had no new event
which could influence the values of stock
to aid them and no report of any cessa-
ton in the improvement of the earning
power of properties, in the shares which
are dealt in on the exchange. The nomi-
nal motive of the selling was the fear
that our relations with Spain were in
danger of rupture as an outgrowth of
the policy which General Woodford was
ordered to pursue at Madrid. The dis
patch from Madrid to the Associated

Press carrying the semi-official an
nuoncemnt of the substance of SPANS
reply it was feared would force Presl-
dent Mckinley to take action that
would lead to a declaration of war.
Apprehension on this point became so
acute that large amounts Of long stock
were offered and numerous stop loss or
ders were uncovered which gave success
to the bears. Several Intellectual attempts
were made to stem the decline, but raj
lies were only momentary, and fresh
heavy offers kept the liquidation to the
close of the day. Last prices were in
many cases the lowest and the tone Of
the market at the last was very fever
ish. Losses on the day extend all the
way from a fraction to over points, the
range in the leading active stocks being
from to points. Chicago Gas and the
grangers were most heavily dealt in and
showed the sharpest declines.
The bond market showed increased ac-
tivity and shared in the weakness of the
stock market, though to a less extent.
