The times., 1898-07-10

The market yesterday was of the same
reassuring character shown during the
three days before since the destruc-
ton of the Spanish feet in Santiago has
become known in its real significance TO
the street. There was a strong tend
ency to hesitate Immediately after Ger
vera was destroyed and for two days at
the beginning of the week there was no
appreciably better feeling in the market.
Then the advance began and it has kept
up from that time. The market is con-
siderably higher now than it was at the
end of last week. There was not much
buying yesterday, which was TO have been
expected before the close of the market
over Sunday. But there was no selling
either. There was no large disposition
to get out of the market on account of
the uncertainties at Santiago.
The matters that have made the
strength of the market during the last
half week and the factors that will in
fiuence 1t during the coming days are
easily pointed out. There is the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet and the fact that
this great reversal for Spain must di-
rectly foreshadow the fall of Santiago.
If it has not fallen by now. it
cannot hold out many hours longer.
Santiago is undoubtedly one of the great
steps in the war. When the American
flag goes up over its forts the first great
land battle will have been fought and
won by America. Another of Spain's
boasts will have been proven futile. When
the victory at Manila showed what poor
stuff her navy was she predicted that
her army would retrieve this defeat.
With the near approach to the fall of
Santiago come persistent rumors of
peace. The financial world is more dis
posed to give these stories credence than
the Administration here or the people
generally, perhaps. Itis certain that the
possibilities of proposals of peace are
large now. Whether America will be
willing to listen to anything that Spain
will care to say at present in this line
is another NATTER London. listening to
the hints of peace, ris also bullish on
American securities for the moment and
this has been another factor These mat
terS all will be more potent as the days
go by. There seems every prospect of an
advancing market this week to follow the
buoyancy of the past three days.
The rate difficulties of the coal roads
produced the only break of the market
yesterday. Lackawanna has cut its rate
and other coal roads promptly met the
reduction. There was decentralization in
this group during the first few minutes
of trading, and it was thought for a
time that the entire market would be
affected. Reading. New Jersey Central
and other coal stocks were freely sold
and went off badly in price
The Vanderbilt stocks were again yes
terday among the strongest in tone In
deed, 1t was this group that got the mar
ket out of the bad half-hour induced by
the selling of the coal stocks. There
was good buying of New York Central
and the other stocks of the group. The
showing in the Vanderbilts during the
past week has been excellent. Curiously
enough. too. the street is very chary Of
offering the explanations that are gen

Henry Clews in his weekly letter thus
refers to the fact that the market did not
Immediately respond 10 the victory over
Cervera's fleet at the beginning of last
week:
Surprise has been quite general that
the victory over Cervera was not as in
fiuential in the stock market as that az
Manila II must be remembered. how
ever, that prices of stocks went up on
the average at least 10 per cent on
Dewey's magnificent success. and that
advance has been maintained since.
When. at the opening of the exchange on
Tuesday it was found that outside buy
ing was not as responsive as expected.
the big operators who had over-bought
previously availed themselves of the de-
mand that did exist 10 supply il with
their long stocks This alone was suffl-
cient to check what otherwise would
have been a rising market The tend
ency now is to await the fall of San
tiago. and the effect ii is likely 10 have
in causing Spain to sue for peace. The
stubbornness of the Spanish government
in that direction is, however, against such
action"
Mr. Clews is very glowing in his
prophecy of prosperity to come when the
war closes. His letter is referred to more
fully in another column.

WIFE's SPIRIT SAYS PAY
And an Ohio Man Was Thus Worked
for So, 900 by Mediums

Portsmouth o., March 3.-John E
Schiller of this city claims to have paid
over $4,000 for a brief experience with
SpirituaIism.
A year ago his wife died. Mrs. schu-
Ter was a firm believer in spirits, and
was intimate with Mrs. Mary Englert,
formerly of Cincinnati, who has been
prominent in a number OF sensational
affairs here. A short time after Mrs.
Schuler's death, Mrs. Englert presented
for payment note of hand for 81, $50,
purpOrted to have been signed by Mrs.
Schiller. Mr.. Schiller was incredulOus,
as his wife had said nothing to him
about a loan of that amount, but he
was induced to attend a ''seance" given
by Mrs. Englert.
The spirit of Mrs. Schiller made
prompt response to calls from the me-
dunn, and freely acknowledged borrow
ing the money and making the note.
She urged her husband to pay the note
promptly and thus ease the strain on
her spiritual conscience. Mr.. Schiller
cashed up at once
In less than three weeks he was con-
fronted with another claim of $1,000, by
another Spiritualist. Again Mrs. Schu-
1er advised payment and again her ad-
vice was followed. A third touch" be-

lert this time brought forth a bad
spirit" which confessed to having sto
len the goods, and urged that no mortal
be wrOngfully accused. Mr.. Schiller
prOfessed himself satisfied, but could
not help thinking. He suggested his
doubts to a friend, who changed doubt
to disbelief by the very matter-of-fact
question:
what in hades could a spirit do with
a loaded revolver? It would go off all
at once as soon as he got there with it,
for of course, being a bad spirit, hades
Is his home"
That settled it, AS Mr. Schiller ex-
pressed himself, it was plain that HI
and gunpowder won't mix" He has
brought suit to recover the 81, $50, and
will bring yet other suits.

INDIANS WANT WAR.
In Case of Trouble With Spain
the Sioux Would Rise in
Rebellion.

Denver. March 2-SimuItaneous with in
ternatiOnal trouble of any kind the Amer
lean Indian finds some good reason for
making trouble with the government.
Should the United States become involved
with Spain and all the Indians of this
country remain peaceable, it win mark
a new epoch in the history of the coun-
try.
There is considerable danger of the
Sioux breaking out at most any time, "

ed States army, detailed for duty in con-
nection with the national guard of the

and was with the Sixth during the trou-

had 20 years service among the Indians,
10 OF which were spent in Arizona and
New Mexico, and the rest further north
with the savages. Captain WILCOX wears

fatal for him. And speaking as one who

Indians. who mostly from the soldiers,
but the Sioux are fighters, and brave
fighters at that. The country about the
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies has
been settled and fenced up very largely
in the past few years. and this has done
much to keep the Indians from roaming
off, but it is very likely that we will have
trouble with them sooner or later.
THE Sioux are tall, well shaped and
hard fighting savages, and in case they
should be aroused 1 believe that about
5000 braves could be raised from South
Dakota and Nebraska. There are more
than 5000 Sioux at the Rosebud agency,
and the same number of Ogalalla Sioux at
the Pine Ridge agency. These are among
the fiercest and most Warlike of the Sioux.
At Fort Robinson we have eight troops
of cavalry and there is one regiment of
infantry at the Rosebud agency, and

Indians would be free to do pretty much

BUYS A WONDROUS. GEM.
Diamond of Great Worth Purchased
by Mrs. Celia Wallace.

Chicago, March 3.-Another great dia-
nlond has been added to the collection or
Mrs. Celia Wallace, the diamond queen"
of the Auditorium. This one is not only
the greatest of the collection, but it has
a history. It was worn on the shirt front
of W. H. Upham when he was governor
of Wisconsin.
At the first reception given in the gov
ernor's mansion at Madison in 1895 Gov
ernOr Upham appeared in company with
this heroic gem. It was screwed on the
center of his wide white shirt front, and
when he came down the mansion hall
those who were present say he looked like
a locOmOt tive with an electric headlight
coming out of a tunnel. 1t was rumored
that the governor had steel chain
fastened to the back of the diamond and
buckled around his waist inside his shirt.
This, however, is not generally believed IN
the first circles of Madison society.
Ever after that when Governor Cpham
gave reception or attended one at which
full dress costumes were en- regle he wore
the diamond, which was called by some
of his rural admirers the night lamp of
the Wisconsin dells." Others with less
poetry referred to it as the 'searchlight
of the OcOnOmOwOs All of that,
however, is a matter of Wisconsin his
tory and has only an indirect relation to
the sale of the stone to Mrs. Wallace.
Those who know Mrs. Wallace say she
often wears $4,000 worth of diamonds
when she goes to breakfast in the Audi
torium, where she has lived since the hos
tel was opened.
