SPEAKER 1REED's POSITION.
Why He Has Obstracted the Hawaiian
nt1onfOadoyement,


~ acknowledgements.
The conflicting reports as to the attitude
OF Speaker Reed upon present cOnsidera-
ton Of the Hawaiiaa resolutions In the
House and the persistent .rumors of exist
ing differences between the Speaker and
republican leadefs in,sthe House, prompt
ed today the following statement OF the
Spe akexs, position. It was furnished by
one who reviewed the entire situation with
him yesterday: - ..' -
The question Is not of Hawaiian apnexa-
ton at all Probably majority of the re-
publicans of the House are for II II obliged
to vote; but many prefer not to have thu
question up, because it will lead to delay,
keep Congress here all summer and prevent
them from looking after their districts, and
at the same time not annex Hawaii no..
IF the annexation bill cannot pass and ae-
ton on it will prevent speedy action OH the
revenue bill. it seems bad politics to bring
1T up solely to cause trouble. II the Senate
passes 1t under Mr.. Lodges lead, it will
have free way in the House. In word the
question Is not of annexation, but of sound
u party politics. . -.
"All the talk about quarrsls between Mr.
Dingley and Mr.. Hit and the Speaker Is
the result OF overzeal of those Interested
The main thing Is for the Congress to pass
the revenue bill, maks the appropriations,
avoid a long session, free Washington from
local politics and leave the President and
his advisers time to prosecute the war to
successful conclusion. Annexationisfs will
then take care Of themselves"

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Stnr
NEW YORK. May 2s.-The transactions
Oh thu stock exchange today we're devoid of
any particular interest. and simply repre-
scented the evening UP of contracts over the
double holiday
At the opening there was a continuation
Of the realizing movement started during
the last hour of trading yesterday, but the
decline was slight and the supply of stocks
very small. Shortly after the opening a ru.
NOR that Schiey had destroyed the Spanish
fleet stimulated a movement upward. which
lasted until the close, during which the
early decline was recovered and an advance
recorded which brought the closing prices
up to the high range Of yesterday.
The granger stocks were very prominent
in the quick recovery. particularly Rock
Island. which after q decline to 1O4N rallied
to 1854.
The trading in sugar was quite active to-
Gay and showed considerable strength.
The opening price showed a decline from
the last quotation. but good buying it
advanced two points and closed very
strong.
For the week Just ended we have wit
messed very strong stock market, which
stsrted on Monday and continued without
much Interruption throughout the week
We have seen values increase steadily.
This movement upward was due to the
success attending our navy and the inn
preston that after one more good victory,
which would undoubtedly occur after We
met Cervera's feet. the war would be
at an end. With this impression firmly set.
the earnings Of the different speciaities
were taken into consideration. with the re-
suit that on account Of the enormous
wheat movement, the Granger roads reaped
the greater benefits toward higher prices.
The other roads. however. were not for
gotten. and the Vanderbilt list and other
favorites scored with the general advance.
The Gloss Of the week finds the market
with q very confident appearance. with the
hope that before Tuesday a decisive VIC
tory may be won or definite news 20 that
end received.

serve increase. $3.50 $50: loans increase.
