MIR. MUDD'S CHANCES.
His Return to Congress Believed t,
Be Assured.

Be Assured.
Special Corrnsp' rdence of The Evening Star.
LA PLATA, Charles Co., Md, Nov. 3, 1898.
AS election day approaches interest in
the congressional contest in this district
increases, and it is the opinion of many
of the democrats as well as of the repub-
liosns that Sydney E. Mudd will be re-
elected. The fact that the circuit court
of Anne Arundel county ordered the name
of Charles G. Parker, independent republi-
can candidate to be put the ticket has
caused no uneasiness in republican circles.
Some of the democrats profess to believe
that his candidacy will draw largely from
the vote of Representative Mudd. 1t is
stated that some of the democrats are
even assuring their colored neishbors that
they will vote for Parker as against John
S. Cummings. democratic candidate and
Sydney E. Mudd, republican. This, of
course. the colored people understand is
being done for effect, and they say it will
only result in solidifying the colored vote
for Mudd.
disappointed in not getting a position un-
der Mr.. Mudd, and whose idea has been
to vote against him, said the independe ent
movement had forced him back into line
He realizes, he says, that Parker has rot
the slightest show of being elected and
every vote thrown away on him means one
vote toward electing a democrat to repre-
sent the fifth district.
The fight that has been made on Mr.
Mudd by few republicans, chiefly disap-
pointed office seekers, it is said. is only
a repetition of what was done at the last
election. Just prior to that election the
opposition was more than confident that
1t had him defeated, but the figures re-
turned showed that his majority was so
large that there was not even a chance
for a contest Republican managers are
now certain that the event of two years
ago will be repeated next Tuesday
The campaign will not close in this sec
uon until Monday light. Many meetings
have been held, but it is conceded that
They We're not largely attended as d rule
and there was not much enthusiasm man
nested. This has not dishcart. .ned the lead
ers, however. for no more enthusiasm has
been shown in the democratic ranks than
has been shown at the republican gath
erings So far as the prohibition candi-
date. John +. Wetherald is concerned
thee are hundreds of voters who have
never heard his name mentioned. There
will be several more meetings in Charles

WITH TWO TURRETS.

Considering Advisabflity of Modify
ing Plans for New Monitors.
The Navy Department is considering the
advisability of modifying the plans for the
four new harbor monitors by increasing
their size from 2,700 tons to 1900 tons, en-
abling them to carry four 12-inch guns in
two turrets, instead of only two guns in
one turret. Mr. Lewis Nixon, one of the
successful bidders for building the moni-
tors, has been at the Navy Department in
consultation with Secretary Long on the
subject and the board of bureau chiefs. AS
the offensive power of the monitors can
be doubled at an increase in cost that still
places the figure within the appropriation,
the change probably will be made.

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest OF Exchange News Mining Stocks.
Metal Quotations-WoolP Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Rsview OF Trade.

New York March 1S.-To-day's stock
market fiuctuated over quite wide ex-
treme first upwards and then downward,
and with a later recovery to about the
early high point. But 1t is noticeable that
the net changes were not very large. The
extreme dullness was feature. This and
the character of the rumors which af-
fected the market indicated the manipula-
ton of small professional traders. whose
existence depends on movement of prices,
whether up or down. The late rally was
the feature of the day and was signfi-
cant of the nervous waiting attitude of
the speculative world. This rally was
founded on rumors as to what could be
taking place at the secret meeting of the
cabinet in Washington. Compromise with
Spain over Cuba was the burden of this
rumor accompanied by the information
that Spain was perfectly willing to grant
everything on the sole condition that her
flag remains in Cuba.
The professional short sellers fastened
to cover open contracts on the strength
of this report and another to the effect
that distinguished officer of high rank
in the United States navy mad expressed
the opinion that the Maine was destroyed
in an internal explosion due to an acct
dent.
Business in the furry caused by these
rumors was more active than at any time
during the day, but was not unusually
large, especially considering the wide
movement of prices. Neither was the rally
we'll held, the reaction touching pract-
cally all the stocks and amounting to
substantial fraction in many cases As
for the opening squirt. it was largely as
sisted by the buoyancy of the local trac-
ton stocks, based on the reported offer
of the rapid transition to an elevated
| company.
The heaviness and dulness was without
the slightest interruption after the
| opening squirt up to the recovery in the
| last hour. The relapse in Spanish AS on
| the London and Paris exchanges was not
reassuring. Notwithstanding yesterday
! slight hardening i'm the rates of exchange
and the distinctly higher tone in to-days
money market, further gold to the
| amount of $500 900 was engaged for import
| to-day.
The bond market showed weakness in
the early dealings and a firmer tendency
at the close. Total sales, 81, 300, 600. L. 5.
