Bul Traders Bid UP rrlces.

New York, March 3.-Some of the
bull traders bid up prices of specialties
this morning and carried the general
list with them in an effort to renew
the bull campaign. But there was no
outside interest and the efforts of the
leaders were not seconded. The market
drifted listlessly for the rest of the
day, sometimes up and sometimes
down and had some part of the early
gains remaining for most stocks at the
close. Buying of New York Central in
the last half hour on the receipt of the
news from Albany that the assembly
had passed a measure assuring the le-
gality of the bond issue for the CONSOLE
dalton with the Lake Shore caused a
stiffening of the market in the closing
dealings. There were long periods
during the day when business was al
most stagnant and prices moved very
sluggishly. The market was in the
hands of small traders and reflected no
condition of general business beyond
the feeling of uncertainty regarding
the Cuban question. Large operators
and the general public are evidently
out of the market by reason Of this
same uncertainty and the room traders
seek to move prices by all sorts Of ru-
fnors and surmises, many of which
originate in the board room and are de-
MED before they get beyond it's doors.
There was a serene disregard of at
tempts to precipitate a new phase of
the Cuban question in advance Of the
formal report of the Maine inquiry
which is looked to definitely fix the
status of the question. Most of the
days trading was in Sugar, New York
| Central Tobacco and the grangers.
Each of these had some special cause
assigned for its strength. There was
talk OF an agreement over threatened
competition in Sugar, of largely in
creased earnings in Tobacco and of
| buying of large corporate interests in
st. Paul. Rock Island and st. Paul
| were both helped by the stated esti-
mates of earnings for February. The
exchange market continued dull, a
weakening of the rate on Paris being
the feature of the day. There was
some talk that further gold may be
shipped from Paris before the end Of
| the week, but further immediate ship
ments from London are considered un-
likely in view of the small supply to be
had In the open market and the disin-
clination Of the Bank of England to
diminish its supply. Conditions In the
money market remained unchanged.
| Prices were pretty well maintained
in the bond market but the volume of
dealings showed very marked de-
crease from the recent average. Total
sales, $2,200.000.

Foul Murder Done Upon it in the

If Goblet were alive he could still
criticise the English grammar of the
speech prepared for the sovereign at
the opening of Parliament. The queen
adopts this speech at her council on
the advice of her ministers, and it is
then given to Parliament as "her own
words" 1t is important to observe
that the president of the council and
the minister who last saw the queen
at Osborne in reference to the speech
read yesterday is also the head of the
educational department. Is there an in

70 PERISH IN THE STORM.
Terrible Result of the Gale on the
New England Coast.
ONE HUNDRED SHIPS ASHORE.
Steamer Portland Missing-If She Has
Gone Down the Loss of Life Will BE
Wrecks and Wreckage

BosToN, Nov. 29.-It is known def
nitely that more than seventy lives
have been lost in the wrecks of tugs,
schooners and coal barges during the
storm of Saturday night and Sunday
morning, and if the steamer Portland
has also gone down, as now seems
possible, the list of casualties will rise
to l40, with over 100 vessels of all
descriptions ashore, two score of them
to be wrecks and an unknown number
probably beneath the waves of Mas
sachusetts bay.
There is scarcely bay, harbor or
inlet from the Penobscot to New Lon
don that has not on its shores the
bones of some staunch craft, while
along Massachusetts bay, and espe-
cially Boston harbor, the beaches are
piled high with the wreckage of
schooners and coal barges. The rec
ord, although hourly lengthening, is
still incomplete, for that ocean grave
yard of Cape Cod is still to be heard
from.
The annoyance and Inconvenience of
the railroad and street car embargo,
covering the whole of southern New
England, sink into insignificance be-
fore the story of destruction wrought
by wind and wave, yet it will be many
day before the full import of the
disaster is known or even realized.

The difficulty of obtaining fuel In
certain localities has led to an investi-
cation of the fuel value OF various farm
crops. Some years ago, when corn was
so cheap that it did not pay to haul II
to market, number Of western farm
ers experimental with 1t as fuel win
very satisfactory results. 1t is claimed
that ton for ton 1t has about two
thirds of the value OF coal. One 81 the
obstacles in the way Of utilizing corn Is
that when dry 1t burns with such
fierceness that It is speedily consumed,
whereas, if there is too much shut-oh
draft, it smolders and blackens. The
fire must be fed slowly-a small
amount of corn being put on at one
time. Where labor is cheap and corn
plenty, 1t makes fuel that Is capable
Of doing most excellent work.

Weight of a Divers Dress.

One hundred and sixty-nine ana =

sure of sS1a pounds on every square
inch of the body Of the diver. IL
would be impossible for the diver 10

Mortality In the French Army.

A recent number Of re Journal ON
cial Of Paris publishes report OF the
minister OF war to President Faure
concerning the sanitary condition OF
the French army, maintained for a Pc
riod OF ten years, including 1897. After
showing what means have been taken
to preserve the health Of the garrisons,
as we'll as of the colonial troops, the
report shows that for the ysar 1895
and 1897 there were less deaths In the
French army than for any other twelve
months in times of peace. The NOR
tality, which was 1856 for every 1000
in 1875 fell in 1896 and 1897 to 4.56.
important point in the report
shows that the garrisons which can
not be supplied with natural, pure wa
ter have elaborate and adequate appa-
ratus for distilling the liquid in infinite
quantities. These apparatus are port
able, and are easily taken with the
troops on their maneuvers.

Accused of His Fathers Murder, Society
Flatters Him.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. eft required
the entire day in the district court to
obtain twelve unbiased men to try
John Henry Collins for the murder of
his father. More than sixty prospect
i've jurors were examined before the
requisite number could be found who
had not formed some opinion regard
ing the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused.
John Henry Collins appeared in
court and entered q verbal plea of not
guilty. He appears none the worse
for his long confinement, save that
his eyes have weakened and he wears
go!d-rimmed spectacles. He was ac-
companied by his mother and sister
Grace.
A peculiar phase of the hearing is
that it is assuming much the form of
q society event. A number of the pref
tiest and best known society young
women attended the trial and touched
elbows with the riff-ra1f in the crowd
that scrambled for seats The jury is
composed wholly of farmers.

A Noiseless City.

Berlin is said to be the most quiet
city in Europe. Railway engines are
not allowed to blow their whistles
within the city limits. There is no loud
bawling of hucksters, and man whose
wagon gearing is loose and rafting is
subject to a fine. The courts have a
large discretion as TO the fines for
noise-making. Strangest Of all, piano
playing is regulated in Berlin. Before
a certain hour in the day and after a
certain hour in the night, the piano
must be silent in that musical city.
Even during the playing hours a fine
is imposed for mere pounding on the
piano.

The following instructive paper on
pecans was recently read at farmers
institute. The author is DIR. o. d.
Faust. of Bemberg, South Carolina.
Probably at no previous time has
there been such an interest taken in
the planting of nut trees all over the
United States as now. The forests Of
the Southern states have furnished us
the finest nut trees on top of the green
earth. If he be bcnefactor of his
race who causes two blades of grass to
grow where only one blade grew be-
fore. how much more must he benefit
the world who plants that which shall
continue to grow in beauty and
strength and become Of still greater
benefit to the world as the years go on?
The rest of the foregoing instructive
paper together with some good points
on the growing and marketing of this,
the best OF all our home grown nuts,

A Single Shell.

There is in the state department IT
Washington a relic of the famous bat
tie of Manila in the shape Of fragments
of q shell from one Of Admiral Dew
ey's six-inch guns. This fragment,
which is rusty from exposure, smash
ed the Spanish commandant's house at
Cavite, destroyed $4,000 worth OF
property and killed five Spaniards. 1t
is evident all shells, though fired by
American gunners, do not hit the
mark, but when they do the effects
are quite beyond ordinary comprehen-
sion. We gee the results in small in
stances like this, but more plainly In
the utter destruction of entire fleets.

EUROPE LIKES IT NOT.
Bitterly Resents the Acquisition of the
Philippines cy America.

fhiIipPincs cy America.
PARIS, Nov. 29.-The whole Euro
pean continent will bitterly resent
American acquisition Of the Philip
pines. This sentiment is not confined
to diplomats, but especially here in
Paris is the opinion constantly heard
in the highest French society. 1t is
known that high French official of
the French foreign Office said yester-
day: 1.-THE appearance of the Ameri-
cans in Eastern waters is disturbing
factor to all of Europe. Americans, as
is well known lack diplomatic man
ners and will surely bring constant
trouble to all of u.s."
AS to the general sentiment, William
T. Stead, who has just returned from
a tour of France, Belgium, Germany,
Russia, Austria, Turkey and Italy, and
who has seen the highest politicians
in each country, and, in some cases.
their rulers, said to-day: 1.-The i'm
mense majority of Europeans are, of
course, ignorant of what has happened.
Intent upon their daily toll, they
neither know nor care what occurs in
the other hemisphere But Europeans
who read the newspapers are able to
form what may be called public
opinion in the Old World. They
are practically unanimous on
the matter. Outside of England
have not met single American
who was not opposed to the expansion
of America. Nor through my whole
tour of Europe have met a European
who did not receive the protestations
of the genuine sincerity with which
the Americans entered upon the war
with more or less mock incredulity.'
