New York. Oct. 1.-THE bears had hard
work to make a living in to-day's stock
market. Notwithstanding great diligence
and perseverance. The majority Of the
standard stocks offered a very firm re-
sistance to the efforts to effect a reaction
and the number Of stocks In which any
notable price movement could be obtained
was very small. The Industrial specialties
were the only stocks on the list that
showed any disposition to make widely.
IL was a room traders market and the
motives which impelled these generally to
buy and sell stocks were probably beyond
the uninitiated to fathom. For instance, IL
was ascertained by some occult reasoning
or information that the recent borrowing
demand for sugar certificates was for ac-
count of sellers of long stock who wished
to conceal their operations and not at
all. as naturally would be supposed. of

LEE TALKS OF THE MAINE.

When Consul General Les was be-
fore the senate. committee on foreign
relations he expressed the opinion that
there was no room to doubt that the

some of the officials were cognizant of
the plans to destroy the vessel, but 1
don't believe the captain general was"
General Lees opinion is the one en-
tertained by the mass of the American
people. We doubt if any one has ever
believed that Captain General Blanco
was cognizant of any plan to blow UP
the Maine or that any one believes he
would have sanctioned or permitted any
such plan to be carried into execution;
that would have been for him to have
made Spain the direct and active agent
in the destruction of the Maine But
he is far from guiltless of participation
in the destruction of the Maine, for
he of all men in Havana, knew the
condition of the harbor, knew that it
was mined. and knew the exact posi-
ton of the mines. Knowing this. why
did he permit the Maine to be placed
over. one? Was our vessel anchored
to that unused buoy without the cap
tain general being aware of the fact
that she was over a mine? No one
with any common sense will believe
she was. Knowing her position and that
his government and our own were on
friendly terms. it is strange and mex
plicable that he permitted her to re-
main there, save on the theory that
it was intended TO have her at dis
advantage in the event of hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain.
General Lee thinks Spanish officials
were cognizant of the plans to destroy

pie; and they also believe that Span

destruction.

scene; there could be no justification
for it. The occasion was a most mo-
mentous one, and it was a time for
the most solemn consideration of the
subject before the house. 1t was one
when the question of war or peace
was to be decided on, for that is what
the resolution before the house means,
II passed by the senate. as it was by
the house. The decision for war means
the expenditure of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars and necessarily the loss
OF many thousands of lives. Surely.
If there is ever an occasion in the
world when the representatives of the
people should be sober-minded and
thoughtful, it is when deciding
whether or not the nation shall be
plunged into war: yet the occasion was
turned into a saturnalia.
Yesterdays proceedings in the house
did not look as though the members
were actuated by any high regard for
humanity or civilization. 1t is to be
hoped that such disgraceful scene
viii never again be witnessed in the
congress of the United States.
