short contracts continued for time
during the forenoon, and fractional add
vances were recorded in numerous in
stances.

tory We're good. Burlington estimates being
especially gratifying AS the result of this
showing, the stock in question advanced
per cent and carried up the entire Granger
group in sympathy. The market failed to

however, variety of arguments restrain

Early in the day it became apparent that

were not favorable to the shareholders in
That property. The extra bid will necessi-
tate funds in excess of the estimates in

this reason some new Indebtedness must
be contracted. Another feature of an ad-

severance of the Kansas lines from the
main brarch of the system.

today than at the close of business yester-

During the afternoon Washington advices
relative to Spain's reply to the latest COM

quietfng influence on the entire market.
Prices broke sharply all around the room
and traders offered down securities at every
indication of desire to SELL
All OF the adVlces relative to the nature
OF this reply were mere guesswork, but
the market demonstrated very clearly its
appreciation of possible significant oevel-

The lowest prices of the day were accom-
piished through the medium Of possible
complications with Spain as result of
the firm stand taken in the pending dis

The force of this factor must be conceded
however, and the market has little to ex-

vance VIII come beyond the limits of a
covering movement. Dizziness would be
the logical result of these mixed conditions.

native raw cotton spins and weaves over
I per cent of the cotton goods that are
purchased by other nations. while this
country. producing over one-half of all the

Unsatisfactory EXPLANATIONS.
The Hearing of j. w. Kfnsey. Ex-
Superintendent of the Post Office.


The hearing given to J. w. Kinsey as to
his work while superintendent of the new
city post office before Secretary Gage and
Assistant Secretary Spaulding was contin-
ued for half hour or more this morning.
Mr.. kinsey took time to explain his con-
nection with the faulty cement floors and
stated that his explanations were not salts
factory.
AS to the cement floors, which will cost
the government $4,000 to relay. Mr.. Kin
sey stated that their demolition came
about from the heavy ha uling over them.
This hauling, he said, had not beer antici-
pated. The floors had been laid, he said,
under direction of the office of the super
vising architect.
Secretary Gage pressed Mr.. Kinsey close
ly to know why he had rot done something
when he discovered that the floors were
crumbiing. He said that to prevent the
wrecking of the floors would have required
putting down heavy planks. The Secretary
wanted to know If this wouldn't have been
better than permitting the heavy loss
which resulted. The Secretary thought an
expense of 5000 or So 900 for planks would
have been better than the loss which final
ly resulted.
The matter of the wrongly constructed
sewers was next brought up. Mr. Kinsey
was asked II he did not know that the
sewers were not being put in according to
specifications He said he did not but
thought the work was being properly done.
He was then shown letter on file in the
architects office. This letter was from the
foreman Of the work and called the atten-
ton of Mr.. kinsey to the fact that the
sewers were not going down according to
specifications. Mr.. Kinsey did not remem-
Der having seen this letter or having his
attention called to the matter in any way.
1t is stated at the treasury that the loss
by the sewers will amount to several hun
dred dollars
1t is probable that a successor to Mr.
hlnSey Will be announced in a few days.
MIR. kinsey's resignation was accepted
late this afternoon.

Detectives Boardman and Gallaher, who
have the warrant recently sworn out
against T. Richard Farrall ex-deputy COL
lector of internal revenue, for alleged ex-
tortion. have not yet succeeded in appre-
hending him. 1t was learned this MORN
Ing that the Charles county man came here
yesterday afternoon, and 1t was thought he
would surrender and give bond.
But up to a late hour this afternoon he
mad not appeared in court. A friend of
Farralrs. speaking to Star reporter today
said he did not believe the charges against
the ex-deputy would be sustained He said
he had known Farrall for many years. and
he could not believe he had done What is
charged against him.
He said he thought that if money in ex-
cess of the regular prices of the stamps
had been collected it was for stamps which
should have been bought earlier, and he
said he thought the books of the collector
will show Farrall acted properly in the
matter.
