New York, April 29.-The dizziness OF
the stock market has not been equailed
] for many months. but there was firm
ness manifested in prices, and an I'M
! dercurrent of strength that refused to
yield to some very discouraging cir
/ cumstances.
The total transactions of the ex-
change fell considerably below 100000
shares, and only three stocks-Chicago
Gas, Sugar and Burlington-were dealt
in to exceed 10000 shares. The market
for Americans in London also was duh
and neglected, and even the profess
sional traders found little to interest
them. There is no doubt that the / ar
tial suspension of trading was partly
due to the uncertainty regarding the
dimensions likely to be assumed by
the gold export movement. Exporters
differ as to how far the gold movement
is due TO the premium on gold in Lon
don, and how far to natural trade con-
ditions.
The new announcement today that a
further shipment of gold Will be made
next Tuesday to the amount of $780,
900 by a Boston house. shows that the
fall in the exchange rate to 4.S712 for
demand sterling was not enough 10
prevent shipments, although II Is IA
below the point which exchange houses
agreed upon last week as necessary TO
assure them sufficient profit TO make it
worth while to ship gold. The effect
on the stock market was sentimental
to an extent, it being habitual lately to
sell stocks on every rumor of export
Of gold.
Notwithstanding the partial stagna-
ton of trading the net result of the
days trading was an average gain of
a fraction. and the upward movement
OF stocks was only interrupted by de-
preston in special stocks. The clos
ing was quiet but firm, and a shade
off from top prices.

SALOON TAN SHOT.
Daring Deed by Robber in Chi
cago Yesterday.

Chicago, April 29.--Emil Schlern, a
saloonkeeper at 1877 Wells street, was
shot and instantly killed just before
midnight last night by one of three
men who entered the saloon for the
purpose of robbery. Twenty men were
in the place at the time drinking, but
none of them made any effort to cap
ture the robbers or offer resistance, and
the murderer and his companions es-
capped. Schlern was shot down with
out a moments warning, and as he had
offered no resistance TO the man it was
at first thought the shooting was the
result of grudge or previous quarrel.
Later it was learned that the men en-
tered the place for the purpose of rob
berry and the robber, who was evident

to offer resistance, drew his revolver

Washington, April %. = General
Miles this afternoon received the
formal assent OF the president to his

Rather Mixed


San Francisco, Cal. April 29.-Ac-
cording to aGvices by steamer this
morning the japanese government is
aroused over the refusal of the
Hawaiian government to permit i'm
migrants TO land and has ordered war
ships TO Honolulu TO enforce what the
Japanese immigrants consider their
rights
Oficial newspapers are full OF war
talk. They claim that the United
States cruiser Philadelphia has been
sent to Honolulu as menace to the
Japanese government
Washington, April 29.-The officials
of the japanese legation in the city
expressed themselves in positive terms
as having no fear of international
complications between Japan and
Hawaii or the United States growing
out of the differences between the
first two countries on the immigration
question.
They belittle the possibility of war
over complications that may arise,
and attribute such talk to the lingo
newspapers which are disposed to
make great ado over matters that
readily can be adjusted by diplomacy
and concerning which there is no war
rant for the predictions that trouble
is likely to follow"
Several weeks ago the legation here
received information that the
Japanese cruiser Maniwa had been
ordered to Honolulu and is probably
there by this time. The object OF
having a war vessel at Honolulu it is
asserted is not sinister one but is
simply an exercise by the japanese
government Of the right claimed and
enjoyed by other countries of having
naval representatives in the waters
of countries where her citizens are To-
Gated so that in the event of necessity
ample protection can be afforded.

CLEVELAND THE GREAT.
BAYARD WOULD LIKE TO SEE
HIM PRESIDENT AGAIN.
Time Will Come When Those Who
Are Not in Love With Cleveland
Now. VIII Appreciate the sacri-
fees He Made for His Country.

New York, April pa dispatch to
the Journal from London saws: Ex-
Ambassador Bayard was much inter-
ested in the report of the Reform club
in New York, and the ex-president' s
speech. When asked for his views with
regard to Mr.. Cleveland for president in
1900. he said:
4 have not seen Mr. Cleveland for
four years, and as 1 expect to see him
in a few weeks l will be able to answer
better then. So far as my own prefer
ence gees, however, and my regard for
the welfare of the United States is con-
cerned, l should rejoice TO see Mr.. Cleve-
land again in the presidential chair.
Ny personal regard for him leads me
to hope, though, that he Will retire
from public life. l believe that in the
future the people will look back upon
the four wears of Mr.. Cleveland's last
administration as one of the most mo-
mentous periods in our history, and will
realize that the part the president
played during those four years was
fraught with more of good to the coun-
try at large than that of any other Of
our chief executives.
Mr. Cleveland is the logical leader
of the Democracy, and before the pres
ent administration is concluded be-
lieve that almost the unanimous voice
Of the people viii call upon him again
to take the reins of government.
I am older than Mr.. Cleveland, and
have been longer in public life, and my
advice to any public servant who has
borne so much more than his share Of
the peoples burden and borne it with
such magnificent courage and self-sac-
rifice as Mr. Cleveland has would be to
lay i down when he can do so, as
surely the part he has PLAYED will in
sure for him the everlasting gratitude
of his countrymen. Nevertheless if,
as is entirely probable, there should be
no leader so capable as Mr.. Cleveland
to take the helm in 1900. would be one
of the first to ask him to enter again
upon the onerous task"

DOWN IN DELAWARE.
Some Serious Charges of Corruption
Floating Around.

Dover Del. April pa sensation
was created today by the action of the
house of representatives in appointing
a committee to investigate the charge
that certain members of the body had
attempted to extort money from per
sons applying for legislation as the
price o. their favorable votes.
Various charges of attempted eXtor-
ton have been rumored, but the one
upon which this action is based refers
to the application made by Mrs May
White Gauze, formerly of Philadelphia,
for a divorce from her husband, Victor
Gauze. Her attorney says he was aD-
preached by two members. who asked
him to expend money for the purpose of
having the bill passed, and feeling that
he could not be successful without the
use of money, he withdrew the bill and
took the case TO court.

conviction a new trial was asked for,
but was denied. An appeal was taken
to the supreme court of the state. and
after very able argument the decis-
ion of the lower court was affirmed,
and the date of sentence was fixed Tor
today. His father and his attor-
neys prepared a FULL statement of the
case and submitted il TO the state BOARD
of pardOns with an appeal for a com
mutation of sentence, but this has been
denied.
Some time this morning the fatal
moose will be adjusted and LarISin will
swing into eternity.
The crime for which Larlxin will lang
was the killing of Josie Hill, as stated.
1t was done while both he and his vic
tim were drunk. and was the result of
insane jealousy on his part. With that
peculiar affection which prompts men
TO become infatuated with women of
the lower order, he watched her day
and night. If her favOrs were laviShel
on men for gold, all right, but if she
forgot herself so far as TO seek the
companionship of other men without
compensation he became angered. 1t
was suspicion on his part that led him
to kill he. Although he has expressed
deep regret at what he has done, it
avails him naught; he must suffer the
penalty.
A peculiar interest attaches to the eX-
ecutiOn of Larlxin. Josie Hill was his
woman" at the time of the murder Of
Callahan, and ii was she who was With
the murdered man on that fatal night.
She came to the city in the buggy in
which she and Callahan were returning
from the road house and gave the
alarm.
Subsequent Investigations pointed
very strongly to the completely Of Jo-
sic Hill in the murder. and she was
followed by the officers for a long time
but she always declared she knew
nothing of the crime. Larkin. too, was
suspected, but nothing could ever be
determined as to his connection with
the killing. Finally it was decided that
Coyote Dick. q wild sort of ruffian. who
ran a rough mouse or Franklin avenue
was the prime mover in the matter
Dick ran amuck in Texas, was cap
tured and is dead.
Larkin doubtless knew something OF
the murder. but he has never made
any statements in connection with the
same. 1t is thought perhaps just be-
fore he meets his end he may let some
thing fall which will clear up the rlys-
terry surrounding the death of Gala
han, although there are some who
maintain even if he does know he Will
never tell. Josie Hill lived for a time
after he shot her, but she never
breathed a word which would give the
slightest idea of the murder. If she
knew she was faithful TO the last. If
theories were correct Larkin is the
last of all who had any connection with
the event and this being so he might
chance to tell something, but the prob
abilities are he Will not.
Larkin is slight man in build,
black hair and eyes, and was quite
fine looking. He was infatuated with
Josie, although he was about the only
one. as she was very common in ap-
pearance. The pair left here about a
year and a half after the killing of
Callahan.
1t is said the parents of the doomed
man are heartbrOken over his awful
fate.
