Special Dispatch to TIE Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September l4-The UNDER
tone of today's stock market was more en-
couraging than any Of it's recent predeces-
sors, the demand for stocks being inspired
for the first time in several days, by an
actual desire for ownership. The opening
hour reflected some hesitancy. and for a
time the selling was superior to the buy
ing, but after a week of lower prices there
was better market for today's offerings
Short selling was soon discouraged by the
discovery that liquidation had ceased.
The covering of previous sales and be-
ter legitimate buying demand forced prices
up sharply during the noon hour The ad-
vance was encouraged by the announce
ment that five millions gold had been
taken In London for export to the United
states. Call mercy rates. which had been
ruling around per cent, suddenly declined
to pa per cent, the market advancing in
money.
Fears of tight money have been largely
sentimental, and the result of a sudden
shock to the belief that IL per cent call
money reflected a normal condition. The
government bond transaction and the ter
h-lhation OF the war at a time when the
new revenue law was becoming effective
have led 20 an accumulation OF funds In

NEW YORK, September 14-The trans

on September s. having on board, among
other soldiers. two officers and ffty-nine
men of Company II, 1st District of Column
bia Volunteers, had not been sighted up to
the time of going to press.
The Alamo was scheduled to arrive on the

rather expected that she would be reported

Your correspondent called upon Colonel
Amos A. Kimball the depot quartermaster.
with view to ascertaining just what dis
position would be made of the District boys

Col. Kimball said that Dr. Doty, the
health officer Of the port. had been instruct
ed to make his usual examinations as ex-
peditiousiy as possible. AS soon as the ves-
sci is passed. through quarantine by the
health officers she would be headed for the

IT, therefore, the Alamo passes through
quarantine promptly with q clean bill of

troops for home on the day of her sighting
and the we'll men of the company should
reach Washington the same night

AMBASSADORS DEPARTURE.
1t is Stated to Be without Any Sig
nfffcance.

Baron Speck Won Sternberg Of the Ger
man embassy was at the State Department
today, comforting with Assistant Secretary
Moore. He made known the departure of
the German ambassador, DR.. Won Hole-
ben, for Germany. where he will take the
baths at Carlsbad in hope of recuperating
from ailment which has seriously inca
pactated him during recent months. DR..
Won Helleben will go first to Berlin to re-
port to the foreign authorities
1t is stated positively that the trip has
10 significance as bearing upon Gernany's
interest in the Philippine question or other
political subjects. but Is purely a health
outing. During the ambassadors absence
Baron Speck will be charge d'affaires of
German interests. He is Just back from a
weeks visit to Col. Roosevelt and his
Rough Riders. and another week with Sir
Julian Pauncefote at Pequot
The call of Baron Speck at the depart
ment today brought out no discussion of
foreign questions. So far as the PHILIPPINES
are concerned, it is understood that they
have not entered the field of dipIoma tic
exchange between the United States and
Germany, SO that there are no Questions
to be considered. While the authorities
here recognize the interest of Germany
and all other continental powers in the So
luton of the Philippine question, they view
these powers as observers, FATHER than as
participants, in the solution.

SPAIN ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Significance of the Vote In the Cortes
for the Protocol.

In official quarters much satisfaction was
expressed today over the reports from
Madrid that the lower house of parlia -nent
had passed the government bill authoriz-
ing the release of Spanish sovereignty over
colonies. The upper house already has
passed this measure. so that the last fear
of legislative opposition to the transfer
of Cuba, the Ladrones, Porto Rico or the
Philippines is past.
The authorities here feel that this carries
them by the danger point, as 1t has been
feared for some time that the animosities
in the Spanish cortes would lead to the
defeat of the Spanish ministry. on the ques-
ton of evacuating Spanish islands, either
in one branch or the other of the cortes.
1t turns out, however, that. despite the
clamor and personal contention in the cor
ties, the government has succeeded in hav-
ing the protocol ratified.
1t is looked upon as significant also as
showing that the representatives of the
Spanish people, no less than the ministry
are anxious for peace, as the protocol was
ratified in both houses by large ma ajority

CANDIDATES ARE WANTED,
baltimore Democrats Having Trouble
in Getting EOrIorn-Hope Leaders.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Md, September 14.-Con-
siderable interest is felt here in tonight's
democratic nominating conventions in the
third and fourth congressional districts,
which will be wholly in Baltimore city.
The greatest difficulty has been in finding
candidates, as the party scarcely hopes to
carry the city at this time, and its efforts
to induce its former leaders to run have
not proved successful.
1t looks this morning as though DR.. John
B. Schwatka would be named in the third
district, ana ex-City Councilman James W
Denny in the fourth. Such nominations
would be highly representative and will
bring out the bulk of the party vote.
DR.. Schwatka was formerly in charge of
the Baltimore University Hospital and en-
deared himself to the poorer classes in the
wards of. the district. He has a strong fol-
lowing among the German and Polish voters
of East Baltimore and stands well in the
party.
Mr.. Denny's good record as a city coun-
Gilman and member Of the school board
commends him to the Independents.

CHINA AS JAPAN'S ALLY

An Imperial Edict.

PEKIN, September Il delayed in trans
mission).-The Marquis Ito. recently pre-

is regarded as likely to result in an often
sive and defensive alliance.
The marquis. 1t is asserted. is charged to
examine into the possibility Of China re-
covering her lost ground and becoming a
useful ally. There is no doubt there has
been strong bias lately among the lead
ing Cinnamon toward Japan, whose reforms
the Emperor of China has been attentively
studying.
An imperial edict just issued orders Lu
the director of the Northern railroad, to
commence a branch line to the western
hills. Russia recently attempted to obtain
a contract to build this road
