"WEDNESDAY, March 2.
The course Of prices on the Stock Exchange to-
day reminded tho speculative community that
the Cuban situation still engages the attention
Of the administration and that the Maine
episode has not, like tho De LONE incident, been
closed. There was really no Trustworthy news
from Washington or any other point OF .
character TO disturb the market, but . de-
cline in prices, resulting from the eliminae
ton Of q largo part OF the short inter
est and from sales to realize profits on stock
bought at the recent depression, aroused the
Street to the possibility OF q fresh supply OF
alarming reports similar TO those that precipi-
tated extensive liquidation last week. AS noted
in this column several times Of late, huctua-
tions on tho Stock Exchange influence SEN
timent fully as much as other develop
ments, and this circumstances 10 taken
advantage of by q few professional
operators to work the market. The highest
prices to-day were, as q rule, made at the open
ing. The absence of buying orders from London
and Of the substantial demand for securities that
was conspicuous last week, as we'll as . less ur-
gent inquiry than yesterday from tho short In
forest, induced sales for both accounts. The
market yielded slowly until the last hour. when
II became positively weak.
As for several days past. the heaviest trading
was in Sugar Refining. st. Paul, G., B. and
0uluCy hHu NehaVes
closed moro than 3 points lower than yesterday,
and Manhattan sustained q net decline OF 2io
y cent. Tho Granger stocks and many others
that were less active, including New York Gen.
trail, Union Pacific. Northern Pacific preferred.
Peoples Gas.and Brooklyn Rapid Transit. closed
/ to 2 y cent. lower than yesterday. There wass
wild opening in Metropolitan Railway, at 4 to 9
points above tho final price Of yesterday; but
the higher range OF values was not maintained
and tho stock closed nearly a point lower than
last night and at about the lowest figure
recorded for it. Tho decline in Now York Gen.
trail was accompanied by reports that legal
obstacles are being encountered in carrying
out tho arrangement for tho virtual pur'
chase by that company Of the stock OF
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rail-
road. or actual news affecting values there
was none other than the railway traffic returns
printed further on in this column. and these were
in the main ignored. owing to tho koen interest
taken In the Cuban situation and its posi-
billties. The closing was heavy nj . slight re.
covery from tho lowest prices.

 PROPERTY SALE.
COL. FORDYCE IS IN IT.
The Upset Price to Be Paid Shall Be $5O,0OO-CreditOrs Pro-
 Yided For.

Judge John A. Williams, of the United States court, today declined to approve private sale of the Lott railroad property to an interest rep resented by Colonel S. w. Fordyce, late president of the Cotton Belt. Instead be ordered a public sale to be made by the master, Hon. Chas. I. Coleman, so that all parties con cerned might be we'll and sufficient lY advised of the proceedings. The order was ntered of record this af. ternoon and provides that the upset price shall be $50, ,00J, of which $10, : GOO shall be cash, and the balance in six months. It is also provided that the receiver shali use an amount not exceeding 5000 of the total purchase price for the purpose If closing up all right-of-way negotia- tions along the line. The original case of Johnson and Hansen vs. Lit tie Rock and Hot Springs OotD road shall stand for the adjudication of all cases at intervention. Cock Till & Cockrill represented the re. ceiYer, MT. John G. Lonsdale, Judge John Mcclure represented the prosEectiYe pun chasers, whose iden~ tity was not disclosed, and Judge W. D. Hemingway, of this city, and Hon. w. H.

Fordyce, Colonel Gaines, and other HotoSprings citi- zens are back of the enterprise to purchase and complete this r, ad. The private sale was made subject to confirmation within twenty days, and, since the court refused to con firm, the guarantee was necessarily returned.
 Col. Fordyce, when seen by a re- porter, said:

VAN BoozEM's SCHEME.
It Did Not Pan Out Just As He AntioI-
 pated It Would.

1t Did Not Pan Out Just As He AnticI-
 pated It Would.
 Van Boozem had made up his mind to save money. No more quarters for luncheon, he said. and he bit off the words with snap to his teeth.
 Hereafter shall go in for the free article, then the nickel with which III buy something to wash 1t down will make the meal cost but five cents. Great scheme! Great saving! Nothing like economy"
 Whereupon Van Boozem damned his hat down on his head and stalked out of his office snapping the spring lock of the door behind him.
 Across the way, at the corner above. was clean little place he remembered to have noticed frequently on his way down to the office in the morning. Then he recollected that once he had heard Twlggs remark as they passed it that "an elegant free lunch" was spread inside at noon each day.
 That settled it. Van Boozem darted across the street and entered the little saloon. A white-coated attendant stood behind the counter. What will it be?" he asked.
 Ginger ale, please" Van Boozem answered, and then he looked around
 He walked over to the end of the bar and began eating. A sandwich was finished Then another followed, another, and still another. Lovely" ejaculated Van Boozem, lovely"
 After he had finished the eighth the economical man drank his ginger ale. Reaching down into his pocket he pro- duced dime and laid it on the bar.
 The white-coated attendant looked at it, then he looked at Van Boozem.
 "Seyenty-five cents more," he said as he fitted damp cloth across the polished surface of the counter.
 'What2" shouted Van Boozem.
 "Seventy-five cents more, please, re- peated the attendant. Those sand wiehes are 10 cents apiece. You got away with eight, for l counted lem. That makes eighty cents. The ginger ale is five cents and here's your dime, so you see there's 75 cents more con- ing"
 Gaping and dazed, Van Boozem drew out dollar. III thought" he said, that they were the free lunch. ]"
 Hardly smiled the waiter as he rang the cash register. "The free lunch is cold corned beef and rye bread down at the other end of the bar.
 Since which experience Van Boozem has lunched daily off ortolans, pate de fole gras and terrapin, trying to catch up.

OF THE PRESIDENT MAKES 6o,Oo0 WORDS AND TAKES
 UP NINE COLUMNS.
WAS DELIVERED MONDAY.
Is Little More Than an Outline Nar- ratiye of the Causes, Events
 and Results of the War.

Washington, Dec. D. Congress convened at noon today and the Presidents message was sentin and immediately read in both branches.
 The Presidents lengthy message is but little more than an outline narrative of the causes, events and results Of the war with Spain and the usual references to foreign rela- tons and department reports.
 He makes no suggestions as to the ultimate policy to be pursued with reference to the territory talk en from Spain, except as to Cuba. In this case he reaffirms the former pledges to assist the Cubans in the organization of an independent goy- ernment.
 He recommends an increaseof the regular army to 10000 men, in- cluding native troops to be enlisted in the new territories, and indorses the scheme of naval expansion sub mitted by Secretary Long in his re- port. The revival of the grades of admiral and vice admiral is also suggested as q means of properly rewarding naval heroes of the Span ish war.
 As to the currency the President merely renews his former counsel, calling for reform in non committal terms, save that he would have the government notes redeemed in gold impounded and not reissped, except in exchange for gold.
 The references to the Nicaragua canal are emphatic only as to the need of such water highway con nectlng the two oceans, but it is quite evident that the President wishes Congress to ignore the Cragin Eyre concession and author ize the construction of the canal uu- der the concession held by the Mari time Canal Company.
 Foreign powers are commended for their strict observance of neu- trality during our war with Spain.
 The Czar's disarmament proposi- tion is mildly approved as a move in the right direction, and it is stated that this country will be rep resented in any convention helG to further the end in view.
 The foreign aggressions h China are cautiously referred to, but no intimation is giveI as to the course that should be pursued by our gov ernment in regard thereto, beyond safeguarding commercial rights al- ready acquired
 No reference is made to the race troubles in Illinois and the Caroli- mas.
 The message is very we'll written aud bears throughout the impress of the Presidents well-known conserv- atism.
