HE MUST GO TO WAR.
Horace Perrone Enlisted, out Later
 Changed His Mind.

Horace Perrone, an Italian boy, was brought before United States District Judge Beatty yesterday morning in an swer to writ of habeas corpus sued out by his uncle, Osea Perrone, to procure his release from the army.
 When young Perrone enlisted on June 19 he gave his age as 21 years and s months, and made official declaration of his intentions of becoming a citizen of the United States. He was assigned to the hospital corps. His uncle, however did not relish the idea of the young man serving Uncle Sam, and 1t is evident also that Horace had a bau attack of cold feet, for when placed upon the stand he solemnly Swore that he was under 2l years of age. His uncle Osea also thought that he was under 21. but could not be positive. The boys parents live in Italy, but as he has lived with his uncle while in San Francisco he took upon him. self the duties of guardian. Deputy United States Attorney Bert Schlesinger was present and argued that, as Osea had never been legally appointed guard ian over the boy, he had no claim to him. Judge Beatty ruled that as Perrone had stated under oath when enisting that he was over 21 years of age that statement would hold over a Contrary one made when he was evidently anxious to leave the service, and accordingly remanded him to the army. This is the first case of this kind that has been won by the Government.

Resolved. That 1t Is the sense of this board that Jackson. Washington and Clay street wharves shall be used for free market, and that this board will such wharves for such purposes and begin the operation of said free market as soon as rules and regulations for the government of the same be formu- lated and the proper officers selected
 The above decision, reached yesterday afternoon by the Harbor Commissioners relative to the institution of free public market on the water front for perishable goods, marks the close of the months of constant wrangling between the producers and the Harbor Commissioners, who have been In constant battle ever since the bill providing for the establishment of the market was passed by the last Leg iSlature.
 Edward F. Adams, the representative of the producers interests. began as usual yesterday by demanding the earth, then the entire city front, finally compro- missing with Clay, Washington and Jack son street wharves as a just appropria- ton of public property for the needs and demands of the new market
 The main object of the market as set forth and demonstrated by Adams, is to facilitate the disposal and purchase of vegetables and other perishable products in the interests of both the producer and the consumer. The Harbor Commission will operate and control the market by the appointment of a superintendent and the adoption of all necessary regulations that will be benefit to the State and the various interests which 1t will represent. With the establishment of the market
 have come the protests and objections of the ''middlemen'' Commission mer-
 chants), who will be practically driven from their heretofore lucrative traffic of selling the goods of the producer to the consumer, as under the new system goods
 will be sold by public sale direct from the producer to the consumer.
 | Adams supplemented the request of the | producers in the establishment of the | market by asking that the proper rail- road facilities be provided by the Board | of Harbor Commissioners for the proper | disposal of their products The demand | was opposed, however, by Major Harney | who maintained that before railroad | transportation could be considered 1t was l advisable to first test the proposition o1 | experimenting with the transportation | facilities afforded by the boats now hand

TAX ON MINING STOCKS.
Secretary Gage Asked as to the
 Meaning of the New Ruling.

The ruling of the Commissioner of h. ternal Revenue at Washington that sl stock was taxable at the same rate as another of 500 par value has caused con sternation on the Stock Exchange. A dis patch was sent to Secretary Gage yester- day asking him what the tax would be on a certificate of stock of the par value of s1 per share, and his answer is anxiously awaited.
 If the ruling of the Commissioner is sus- tained some new means of relief rom what is considered an unusually harsh and unjust ruling will have to be sug- gested Meantime it has caused halt in the work of the attorneys who were arranging for the reincorporation of the mining companies with capital stocks of the par value of from $1 to s per share.

New York, March 30.-On several
occasions to-day the movement of the
market indicated that the short inter-
est is only large in spots. and that the
outside public is still indisposed to
take hold The most general belief is
that stocks are a purchase for men
who can protect them, but securities
are decidedly dangerous for people who
buy with the expectation of enjoying
sustained upward movement, or who
sell short In anticipation of a saggy
market without rallies. The impress
sion dominant in London is that Spain
will accede to the demands Of the
United States and that Cuba will at
least make pacific overtures War
news was as conflicting as usual
throughout the entire session. Some
advices from Washington averred that
Congress would act independently Of
President Mckinley, while newspaper
cables from Madrid claimed that a con-
ference participated in by Minister
Woodford and the Sagasta cabinet re-
suited very favoTably, as far as the
United States was concerned. The for
elgn political situation was more peace

IN London We're decided improved to-
day. Prices of the international stocks
