MARKET LISTLESS.
Prices Went Up and Down With
out Apparent Cause.
Certain Favored Stocks Were Notably
rm-Large Operators Had Little
Share in the Trading.

New York. Feb, 26-The stock market
was listless and without decided tone
today. Thew changes are in most
cases trivial, and the market moved up
and down, within narrow range. Lon
don buying gave slight upward inn
petus at the opening, and then profit
taking by yesterdays buyers drove
prices below last nights level. The
close was above the lowest, but net
changes were much mixed
The course of prices was unsettled and
conflicting in the final dealings, some
stocks moving upward and others down
ward simultaneously, and apparently
without manipulation. The whole Of the
trading was. by small. room traders.
Large operators were content to stand
by for the present and watch the course
Of things. Some few stocks were not
ably firm Ill day, such as the Reading
and Erie issues, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred and some Of the southern and
southwestern roads Canadian Pacific
also ruled higher. The bank statement
was weak, but without particular eff
feet as to the conditions disclosed, which
had made themselves felt during the
week. The heavy decrease in loans was
due to liquidation, but probably does not
fully measure it, as the loans Whlch
have been called in part are replaced IN
time to assist commercial paper.
Government bonds declined l&9S12
this week, the extreme loss being in the

THE BAND

Just as the opposing factions were about to clash a man named Jim Fennell, who is connected with the School Department, rushed upon the stage, and, seizing the ballot-box, threw it to a confederate. The latter attempted to get away with it, but was seized by a police officer, who took the box from him.
 Subsequently it was taken to the Sev- enteenth-street station and turned over to Captain Gillin.
 There were several lively scrimmages after the box was taken by the police, but no serious harm was done.
 Mann was sorely grieved at what he termed the desperate methods employed by the push.
 T was told yesterday" he remarked when discussing the theft of the bal lot box, that gang of ward heelers and toughs would attend the meeting for the purpose of seeing that Herget was elected. Several of my friends warned me to be extremely cautious, as the push would not hesitate at com hitting murder to gain their end.
 After the polls opened l realized that the push was determined to elect Herget They gathered around the ballot-box and refused to allow any of my friends to vote for me.
 When a battle seemed imminent | Fennell, so I am told, seized the box and threw it into the wings to the right of the stage. Just as his confederate vas about to get away with it several police officers grabbed it and afterward took it to the Seventeenth sk'eet sta- tion."
 Mann's friends say they will cause the arrest of Fennell to-day on a charge of malicious mischief.

COT WAY WITH THE
 BALLOT,BOX Many Stormy Scenes at a Democratic
 Meeting. Blows Struck, but No Serious Damage
 Done.
After Hard Struggle the Po- lice Separated the Opposing
 Factions.
R. MANN'S STATEMENT.
Claims That a Determined Attempt Was Made to Do Him
 Up.

The Democratic meeting in the Thirty-fourth District last night was replete with disgraceful scenes which finally eliminated in one of the push" getting away with the ballot-box. Had it not been for the presence of several of Captain Gillins men serious trouble would have occurred.
 The meeting which was called for the purpose of effecting a permanent or ganization and also to elect twenty members to represent the district in the General Committee was held in Mis- sion Turner Hall on Eighteenth street, between Valencia and Guerrero.
 There were two tickets in the field. One was headed by John L. Herget, professionally known as Young Mitch ell and the other by Robert Mann, As sistant Prosecuting Attorney in Judge ConlanS court.
 When the balloting commenced a gang of ward heelers surged around the box and attempted to prevent the respectable residents of the district from voting. Mann's adherents, realiz- ing that they were up against it," as one of them expressed it, called upon the policemen who were present to see that they got square deal
 The minions of the law, acting under instructions from Captain Gillin. re- fused to interfere with the balloting, but announced that they were prepared '" preserve the peace at all hazards.

 Strackujan, Walsh and Shelhimer. A GOOD EXAMPLE. Fred C. Siebe Takes the Initiative in Patriotic
 Action.

There is more than one way of evinc- ing ones patriotism, and because man may be little too far advanced in years to go to the front with a gun and fifty pounds of equipage on his back, it is no reason why he can not do a great deal of good in other ways.
 Fred c. Siebe, the brother of the As sessor, showed a spirit yesterday which cannot be too highly commended, and which will probably be the first step in a direction that many other prominent and wealthy merchants will follow.
 When the hour at which the troops were to depart had been definitely ascer- tained, MT. Siebe called over two hun

On Account of the Scandal Mrs. Dean Has Left Her

First Lieutenant Alexander T. Dean, Troop B, Fourth United States Cavalry. has again and for the last time en- tangled himself in the clutches of the military authorities at the Presidio. Wine, women and song are the cause of his downfall. Yesterday it was Lieutenant Dean, to-day it is plain MT. Dean, his resignation having been ten dered to avoid trial and certain dis miSSal.
 A military court had several times tried Lieutenant Dean for drunkenness and conduct unbecoming an officer, but so far he has only been reprimanded or lost few files in rank
 On various occasions while on "sprees'' he has used Uncle Sam's fire arms to perforate the walls and ceilings of saloons and gambling houses in Arizona, and later in the Yosemite National Park. His escapades in the Yosemite have been the talk of the of ficers and men of his regiment since they occurred.
 His latest debauch, that happened climax. It is stated by one close to the authorities that while under the influ- ence of liquor he left his overcoat, cane watch and chain with a woman of questionable reputation. These arti- cles were recovered in a saloon on Kearny street, letween Jackson and

dred employees of his shoe factory and wholesale liquor store together and told them to quit work, go out and see the procession and not to return until they had cheered themselves hoarse in honor of the flag.
 When the parade was over, the troops had departed and the clerks and labor CTS had returned to their several occu- pations. MT. Siebe informed them that all who wished to enlist might do so with the assurance that their positions would be open to them on their return from the war; and that every man so doing would be presented with a paid up insurarce policy, made payable to any member of his family he wished to provide for, and that the house would stand the expense.
 This is the first step taken by any To- cal merchant to do what he can toward encouraging enlistment that has neces- sitated his going down into his pockets. When interviewed last night concern ing his action, MT. sNNbe was at first in- clined to say nothing about it, but

SWORD PRESENTED.
Sergeant Major MCCIeave
 Will Soon Be Promoted.

Tuesday night Sergeant Major Robert McCleare of the First Infantry was rendered reception by the enlisted men of his regiment, in the barracks occupied by Company G, his former company. He was presented with an officers sword, dress and fatigue belts, and pair of second lieutenant's shoul- der straps, as a slight testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by his fellow soldiers. Sergeant Major Me Cleare will, in a few days. be ap- pointed second lieutenant of infantry. The universal wish of his comrades, as expressed in their toasts, is that he may be successful and attain the high est possible rank in the army.

 Last September he passed a competi- tive examination at Fort Leavenworth | for a commission, and stood third in merit of seven successful candidates. He Is a son of Captain William Me- | Cleare, U. $. A., retired, of Berkeley.
