WANTS BALLOT REFORM.
Suggestions Made by the Secretary of
State of Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Dec. 19.--David Martin,
secretary OF the commonwealth, has
transmitted TO Governor Hastings his
biennial re port for the past two fiscal
years. During the two years ended
Dec. | last the department received as
fees for letters patent and for the filing
OF corporation papers, SCI, 519, and from
commissions and other miscellaneous
sources, S13, 525.5l. There vas collected
since tins close CT the last session Of the
legislature > ,056, AZ as boffus upon
charters and increases III capital stock.
There was a falling off in the corpora
ton receipts Of the department during
the period covered by the report and an
increase in all other branches of the
Office.
Mr.. Martin suggested that the legis-
lature should pass an entirely new and
complete ballot reform bill covering the
whole subject and embodying the best
results Of ballot reform in other states.
lie thinks the Massachusetts law has
much to commend it, but there are
many place, in which it could be inl-
proved. Iaa believes the legislature
should spec 4cally define which columns
are ent1tled 20 the circles and which are
not and th,ty such legislation will be en-
acted Oh 3iis question as 60 remove
every oba'a ie III the way OF the full
exercise G TIC right of suffrage, rem
der fraud IL possible and provide SIM
pie and COM p4ete form OF ballot.
MIR. Martln says the objection to du-
plication Of columns on the ballot
could be largely removed by assembling
all the candidates for each office to be
TILED Ia groups III q single column. He
thinks there should be legislative dec
laratlon as 10 what constitutes q politi-
cal party entitled TO nominate a state
ticket to appear Oh the ballot III all the

More of the Insurgents
In Cuba.

SAVANNAH, Dec. 19.--At the collation.
Of the officers of the Third Georgia
regiment to Postmaster General Smith
and the newspaper correspondents,
General Shafter had some interesting
;hings to say about Cnba and the Gu

in a Conversational way expressed him.

ter. that a great many persons gave
an erroneous idea respecting our rela-
lions with the Cubans. AS / view 1T,
we have taken SPANS war upon our
Ielyes. W. shall in all probability hear
good deal more OF the insurgents.
''How about self government for the
Dubans?" General Shafter was asked.
"Self- government. the general re-
peated. "Why, those people are no
more tit for self-government than gun
powder is for h-l."
In the same line General Shafter
went on 10 tell why the United States
would, III his opinion, be obliged to re-
main in the island for some time, and
govern the territory by military force.

The Stock Market.

New York, Nov. 2.-The news receiv- ed by the Associated Press detailing the hostile preparations of the British and Russian fleets in Chinese waters goes far to explain the recent uneasi- ness manifested on the London ex- change in spite of the apparent subsi- dence of the Anglo French controversy. The movement of securities undeniably shows the progress of important diplo- matic movements among the old world powers, carrying with them the threat of open rupture. There was a sharp fall in consols and a strong market in Liverpool for wheat, which only yielded on the failure of the American markets to respond fully because Of the large re- ceipts at primary points and the liqui- dation of large speculative lines in Chi cago. The persistent demand for ex- port, however, worked a rally in the American grain market before the close.
 The selling of securities for London
  feature of the day, and the internation- al stocks, especially Norfolk and West ,ern preferred, Denver and Rio Grande preferred and Kansas and Texas pre- ferred, are the heaviest losers among the railroad stocks. Aside from this, there was a general tendency to stand by and watch the fireworks among the industrial specialties, allowing the mar ket to lapse into the proverbial pre- election dullness. The professional traders naturally turned to the short side in such market, but bear tactics were not aggressive.
 In Sugar Tobacco and Federal Steel the recent order of events was reversed, the first named showing strength all day on mysterious intimations of com ing favorable developments which in- duced many bears to cover. Tobacco dropped in the first five minutes of trading and fluctuated feverishly for the rest of the day between that and last nights price to the continual be- wilderment of all but those who regu- lated the movement The industrious lifting of Federal Steel, which has been going on for some time past was relax ed to-day and prices went off 11s and 1& from the best for the common and preferred respectively. Minnesota Iron lost 31a points. Illinois Steel was bid down points and Tennessee Coal and Colorado Fuel fell 1 and 1h. Dealings in the newly launched standard distil- ling stock were allowed to lapse in view of the prevailing depression in the mar ket

WOMAN,s EXCHANGE.

An Entertainment for Friday Evening.
 An entertainment for the benefit of the Woman's Exchange has been pian- ned for Friday evening of this week. Many New Haveners were much in- terested last summer at Franconia and elsewhere in the slight of hand exhib- itions of Prof" Bennett Springer of Boston, and at that time a parlor en- tertainment was suggested by the Ex- change managers present. Mrs. Frank Trowbridge whose house was to be opened for the affair is prevented from carrying out her plans and the New Haven house parlors have been kindly offered by MT, Moseley In addition to the clever work of the magician Mrs. C. w. Vishno has consented to sing, being interested as an Exchange man. ager Other arrangements are not yet completed. It was hoped and some- what expected that some of the Uni versity Glee club would sing, but their practice together does not yet quite warrant public appearance In the afternoon a matinee for children will be given and a particularly attractive audience is expected at that time. Tick cts will not be put on public sale, but may be had at the Exchange, of Mrs. H. F. English, Miss Griffing, Mrs. Ar thur Cheney, Mrs. Frank Bigelow. Miss Phipps and others of the Ex- change committee.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Handed Down by the Supreme Court
 of Massachusetts.


 of Massachusetts.
 Boston, Nov. 2.-The full bench of the supreme court has handed down de- cision to the effect that all the insol- vency laws in the state were suspend ed July 1 of this year and that the United States bankruptcy laws super ceded them on that day. The court holds that the beginning of insolvency proceedings was authorized July 1, the date of the passage of the bankruptcy law. This decision will effect many cases throughout the state, which were begun after that date. In Suffolk coun- ty alone it will effect thirty.
 The question of the right of the in- solvency court to entertain petitions in insolvency after that date has given rise to much discussion and difference of opinion among lawyers, and the judges of the insolvency courts for the different counties. The bankruptcy act contains a peculiar ending to the ef- feet that the act shall "go into full force and effect" at the time of its passage and a provision that no volun- tary petition should be filed for a month afterward and no involuntary petition for four months afterward. These apparently inconsistent state ments gave rise to the enigma, and different constructions as to the time when an bankruptcy law went into operation have been made.
 The case before the supreme court was that of the Parmenter Manufac- turing company, owner of brick yards at East Brookfield vs. H. Warren Hamilton, ct al. The plaintiff, cor poration, was proceeded against by the defendants who filed an involuntary petition in insolvency against it in Worcester county on August 1 last. The insolvency court passed a decree issuing a warrant in insolvency against the plaintiffs estate. Following that decree the plaintiffs brought this bill in equity asking for a reversal of the insolvency decree, claiming that after the time of the passage of the bank ruptcy act the insolvency court had no jurisdiction in insolvency matters. The question was whether the bankruptcy laws of this state regarding corpora tions from the time of its passage. The question was raised by q demurrer til- ed by the defendants which the court overruled.

 The second anniversary of the D. F. $. G. Social club was celebrated by a charming dance in the Town Hall. West Haven, Tuesday night A crowd of about two hundred young people were present and spent the evening in dancing popular programme of twen- ty-two numbers. The affair was en- tirely informal. A feature of the music was the playing of the new two-step Uncle Remus," which is the compost ton of F.. J. Hogbn, a resident of this city. It was much enjoyed by the dancers and they compelled the orches- tra to play an encore. The music Is bright, catchy and has a clever swing to 1t, which is bound to make it popu- lar.
 The patronesses were Mrs. c. A. Smith. Mrs. c. Ralph, Mrs. J. J. Ruth and Mrs. F. Schomburg.
 The committee in charge was com posed of Misses Bdythe Smyth, Helen Hine, May Noonan, Clara Gillespie, Mary Schomburg, Elizabeth sehom- burg and Elizabeth Ruth It is pro- posed to give four affairs of this nature during the coming winter season.
