made and are now under consideration
for converting the Ellide, the fastest boat
in the world. into torpedo boat, for the

WALL STREET CAUTIOUS

International Complications.
EarIy Advances Followed by a Dispo-
sitton to Await Coming Political
Events in Europe.

New York, March 9.-The stock market
at the opening today was favorably in
fiuenced by higher prices for our securi-
ties il London and in the early dealings
advarces of one-fourth to per cent were
made in the standard active shares.
After the first half hour the market
showed decreased activity and a waiting
character, traders being disposed to eau
tion by the gravity of the general inter
national political situation as outlined
in the reported aggressive attitude of
England and Russia in regard to China.
In Government bonds fractional ad-
vancCs were made.

THE MONITOR AND MERRIMAC.
The Anniversary OF the Fight ut
Hampton Roads Observed.


Baltimore, March "a meeting Of the
Admiral Franklin Buchanan Camp of
Confederate Veterans was held last even
ing at the Young Mems Christian AssO-
citation to commemorate the anniversary
of the great naval battle at Hampton
Roads between the Merrimac and the
Monitor. The most interesting feature
of the exercises was the presentation to
the camp by the daughters of Admiral
Buchanan of a gavel made from the wood
of the Merrimac. and which was sent to
her distinguished commander in the form
of cane by one OF his crew. The gavel.
which is nearly a foot long, has been
beautifully fashioned by Henry Gunders-
dOrff.
Surrounding the head is a silver band
with the inscription: presented to the
Franklin Buchanan Camp by the dausht-
ers of Admiral Buchanan" silver tip
at the end Of the handle has the date,
March :. 1898. The only OrnamentatiOn is
a minute silver rope finishing off the
edges Of this band and the tip.
1t was considered that this method was
the most desirable one for the preserva-
tion,of the relic the presentation Of which
to the camp the ladies intended as a small
token of their appreciation Of the honor
shown to the memory of their father,
and also I'm the hope that its calls To or
der and duty might also prove the inspir-
alton of zeal and sympathy. The sur
viving daughters Of Admiral Buchanan
are Mrs Thomas X. Sreven, Miss Letitia
Mclean Buchanan. Miss Alice Lloyd Bu-
Chanan, Mrs. Mamie Buchanan Shriver.
Mrs. George B. Creven, Mrs. Felix X. Sui
livan and Mrs. Mary Buchanan owen.
The address Of the evening was made sS
Mr.. Andrew {. Trippe, who gave Il strik-
ing sketch of the firm character and
dauntless courage of the old admiral. who.
when desperately wounded and lying with
broken limbs in the cockpit Of his in

charged with delivering milk without a
permit. Inspector Howe testified that
Dodges permit was cancelled by the
Health Office because il was claimed that
an inspection of his dairy revealed that
it was not conducted according to law.
It was shown that after the permit was
revoked Mr.. Dodge called DIR. Walmer to
examine the animals. DIR. Walmer tes-
titled that he found fifteen cows affected
with tuberculosis
The testimony showed that without the
necessary permit, Mr.. Dodge, two days
later. delivered milk in Washington.
Health Officer Woodward testified that
when the permit was revoked il was not
because of infected cows but because II
was believed that the law had been 9TH

A CHILD.
Terrible Accusation Against a
Philodehia Youth.

Terrible Accusation Against n
Philadehia Youth.
Philadelphia, Jan. 1S.-A case was
reported to the central police head
quarters which bears every indication
that a tive-year-old boy has been muir
dered by a youth of fifteen years.
Percy Lockyar. aged five years, did
not return home and vigilant search
failed to disclose his whereabouts.
The distressed parents notified the po-
lice and a detail of officers made a
thorough but unsuccessful search Of a
strip of woods near the little fellows
home. 1t has been learned that SAM
uel Henderson, aged fifteen years,
whose home is near that of the Lock
var family. had been seen in the woods
with little Percy. He at first denied
having seen the child, but on being
closely questioned by the police, he
astounded his hearers by saying that
while he was whiting a stick with a
large knife Percy had accidentally
fallen against the blade, which entered
deeply into his breast. Henderson
said the blood spurted from the wound
and the child fell dead. Fearing he
would be arrested. Henderson said he
threw the body into a creek which
flows through the woods. In contir-
nation of this story he lead the
searchers to where the boys hat and
coat had been hidden. They were
identified by the parents. The police
believe the story Of the child's death
and are of the opinion that the killing
was the deliberate act of Henderson.
