 Yesterday Chase carried his trou- bles to Judge Joachimsen and had an interview with Warrant Clerk Drury. who advocated arbitration, and with that end in view wrote to Miss Frances, asking her to call upon him.
 Out at the Castro-street house Miss Frances and a younger sister were on guard all day. Little Miss Chase sat upon the front doorstep armed with a tremendous cotton un- brella. and just within the open door sat Miss Frances. At the approach Of a reporter, who might have ap- preciated the difficulties attached 10 the rearing Of an obstreperous pa rent, Miss Frances dropped the drawbridge and locked herself in. The keyhole that played so con- spicuous a role with papa and step mamma was called into play and the young lady missed in dulcet ac- cent that she had nothing to say.
 George NJ. Chase, dentist in the spring Valley building, eldest son of recreant father, also had nothing 10 say.

HarbOr to Explore.
JUNEAU, Alaska, March 1, via Port
Townsend. Wash, March 5.-That the
Rothschilds will attempt to build rail-
road to the Yukon is now believed to be
certain. The steamer Walcott, which ar
rived here last night, landed a party Of
ever forty men and equipments for rail-
road building at Pyramid harbor.
s. o. Onderdonk the engineer-in-chief of
the party and of the construction, imme
diately ordered the men to locate and begin
building houses upon the lands near the
cannery. Lumber was taken along for the
purpose. This move Is made to hold the
town sites. The place was surveyed in jan
uary, and plan for the district was sub
mitted at that time to the surveyor general
of Alaska. There was filed notice that
grant from the United States was wanted
for railroad terminal trading post and
factory. and for right of way for rail-
way over the Dalton trial.
The transactions were accomplished in
the name of H. Bratnober, who is known to
be the mining expert and mineral purchas-
ing agent Of the Rothschilds, and who
few weeks ago left for London to consult
with the Canadian government for the
privilege of crossing their territory.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 5.-Moderate liqui-
dation and aggressive short selling re-
suited In general decline In today's stock
market. Toward the close OF business the
covering of early sales forced a sharp re-
covery in some instances notably sugar.
The buying demand las dwindled to min
imum proportions. and confidence in the
immediate future is lacking. All eyes are
turned toward Havana and the findings
OF the board of inquiry. No extensive trad
ing is warranted. while the facts upon
which great consequences hinge are as yet
only the Subject of conjecture. Since 1t
Is admitted on all sides that the situation
is an Improving one. with the single excep-
tlon OF the Cuban crisis, il is natural that
TINS exception should monopolize attention
meanwhile the securities which attract
dttSnt'on because OF a daily conc sssion in
price are adding to their intrinsic worth
Scares OF various kinds may, and the fear
is that they will. reduce prices stin further.
out the ultimate value is almost certain TO
Iemsdy the discrepancy between itself anu
market prices.
The bank statement was the most signia-
cant development of the day. the chan <es
noted being extremely radical in all of the
mere important instances. A decrease of
sl3622.WO In loans reflects the reduction
or speculative holdings inspired by dear
money forecasts and the fear of interna-
25,i3SOo as the result OF the former opera-
tions ana the natural curtailment OF bal
ances incident to such a complex situa-
ton.
Inc decrease In lawful money is nearly
$S,oOO.OOO. all OF IL in legal tenders and the
surplus holdings are reduced 81, l35. .s25. The
prospect Tor several days past accurately
foreshadowed these changes but like ali
things now considered Cuban and not in
ternal conditions are deservedly credited
with Inspiring these results
The market at the close of the week re-
nected very clearly an almost general be-
lief that important and radical action IN
at hand.
The manner of IL is in doubt. but senti.
fnent Is almost unanimous In its leaning
toward further decline, based on an ap.
preaching climax, resulting from exhaust,
ed patience. large short interest exists
and may be made the subject of attack at
any moment, but rallies are not to be mis-.
taken for sustained improvement. Ag,
gressiveness is n assed in the interest Of
declines and radical changes In daily press
dispatches must precede the permaner.e
abandonment of that position.
There is an expectancy on the part Of
the general public which may assist the
oeclinc or stay IL, according to the ctrcurns
stances.
The market Is thought to be on the eve
of wide fluctuations. II the Cuban incifclit
takes on favorable aspect purchases win :
show handsome Profits, If the reverse
temporary period OF weakness will intsfS
vene between profitable buying, Many
shrewd Judges are disposed to rely most
upon the buying point, no matter what
period OF delay may precede its creation.

Roy SHOT.
Probably Fatal Wound Inflicted nv
Accident.

coiored boy named DonnelIy Dutch.
seventeen years old, received a bullet in
his left breast between IL and 1 O'Clock to-
day. near 1887 Champlain avenue north
vest. The pistol from which the shot was
fired was held I'm the hands of Robert Car
ter, also colored. The wounded boy was at
once taken into Carter's house. near where
the shooting occurred, and DR.. Devereux
of No. 1724 S street was summoned to at
tend him Later the police ambulance was
called and the injured boy was removed to
the Emergency Hospital. His injury is
serious and may prove fatal Carter has
hot be IN arrested.
Sergt. Slattery of the eighth precinct
made full investigation of the case and
expressed himself as satisfied that the
shooting was the result of an accident.
An examination of the wound made by
the surgeons at the Emergency Hospital
shows that the ball entered the body with.
out striking fatal spot, and the sur
geons think 1t may not prove to be as SER
ious as was at first supposed. Dutch said
1t was an accident. He and Robert Carter
were playing with 32-caliber pistol when
the weapon was accidentally discharged.
