STOCK EXCHANGE,
Room Traders Turn Bears Again
and Sell Stock Through List.
Principal Activity of Market Continues to
Center in the Industrial Group.

New York, Oct. 1O-The room traders
on the stock exchange turned bears
again today, aha soldstocks all through
the list. Outside Of few cases, they
did not meet with much success in Sc
curing a following, but in a number of
high-priced specialties and, late in the
day, in some Of the railroads, the de-
clining market cid induce some liquida-
ton. This was notably the case in
Northern Pacific, which fell in the last
hour to SS7s, loss Of IN, and closed
heavy in tone. Offerings of this stock
were very Large, and the price move
ment revived rumors of irreconcilable
differences between the two powerful
financial interests In the property.
The large German holding of this
stock made 1t peculiarly susceptible to
the effects of the money stringency in
Berlin, indicated in the rise in the i'm
perial bank rate today to five per cent.
The same factor affected other rail-
road stocks also, In fact, the influence
of all foreign markets was on the side
of the bears. The relations between
Great Britain and France disclosed by
the publication of the Fashoda blue
book caused sufficient apprehension to
produce a. decline Of ss in British con-
soils, and to unsettle all the European
markets. The continued uneasiness in
France over domestic politics and the
possibility Of the failure Of the peace
commission to agree on terms, were
also upon the side Of the bears. There
was some alarm over the spread of yell
lew fever in the south, from which II
linois Central was the most severe suf-
ferer with Il loss of ~
Losses in the grangers reached a
point or ever, except that St. Paul
resisted the decline. The principal ac-
tivity OF the market, however, con-
tinued to centre in the industrial group,
and Sugar fell easily to Ito, with no
visible support. The offerings on the
decline were very large. Peoples gas,
Rubber stocks, Leather preferred, Man
haitian, Metropolitan Street Railway
and New York Air Brake, were all suf-
ferers at one time or other during the
day to the extent Of from l to 71s
points. Tobacco was a. prominent fea-
tuIre, but ruled above Saturdays level
the greater part Of the day, on the ac-
QUESTION of o large plug tobacco inter-
est. The price advanced at one time
over three points, but the stock closed
unchanged.
Lake Erie and Western common and
preferred fell 81 one time SA and 10Y,
respectively.
The preferred rallied nearly three
points. There was no news to account
for The decline. A loss Of three points
in Oregon navigation preferred was
also unexpla lned. There was no re-

THE REroRT EFFEcTUAL.

The French ambassador of the day
complained to a bright Englishwoman
of high rank because her country failed
to intervene in the Franco Prussian
war, ending his diatribe with the re-

Must Give Up Arms.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Tbe muster
Ing out of the volunteers will be fol-
lowed by vexstions and troubles for
officers of the regular army and for
many of the volunteers themselves
This is due to a misapprehension on
the part of some OF the officers OF the
volunteer organizations respecting the
property of the government which they
have in their possession. The govern
ment will require that every article be
accounted for. Every officer or man in
the volunteer service who has charge
of division property will have to &C.
count for it before he can be mustered
out and paid.
1t is the intention OF the war depart
ment again to supply the states when
the guns and aims are accounted for,
but in order to keep straight account
in the departments records, it Is neces-
sa1y to have them fret returned to the
department. The same is true Of other
government property.

BY SHEER NECESSITY.
Spain Was Compelled to Sue for Peace
Text of the negotiations.


London, Sept. 10.-According to the
Madrid correspondent of the Times, the
following is the text of the negotiations
OF the government to conclude peace:
THE reverses suffered by our army
In the unequal struggle to which we
were driven in order to defend the honor
of the nation and maintain it's rights,
deprived us, at an early stage, of the
elements required for continuing the
war. The bravery OF our soldiers and
sailors proved insufficient, as did the
calm attitude of the nation. ever ready
to shed it's blood and sacrifice resources
for the honor of the Spanish flag.
Separated by wide seas from the
territories it was our object to protect,
and these territories being closely block.
AIDED, 80 that our few remaining ships
could not reach them, her majesty g
government has been compelled to ad-
nit the bitter truth, that an end must
be put to the war
THE sense Of responsibility entailed
by the preliminary peace negotiations
had weighed heavily on the govern.
ment Notwithstanding it fully appre-
ciated its duty towards the country
the government has had TO consent tc
these preliminary negotiations and tc
bow to the cruel sacrifices imposed by
sheer necessity.
For this reason, and because peace
must be purchased at the cost of cessior
of territory and the abandonment Of
sovereign rights, the government has
thought it evpedient to sound the corte'
before concluding the treaty, the ratiti
cation of which will be duly notified
to both chambers in accordance with
constitutional law"
The government, whose moderate
language will not be found fault with
by the representatives of the nations
limits itself to submitting to the corte
the following bill, whose only article
is:
1.-The government is authorized t
renounce rights OF sovereignty and t.
cede territory in the Spanish colonie
in accordance with the peace prelimin
aries agreed upon with the governmen
of the United States of America.
The Times correspondent says th
| bill is signed by all the ministers.

In response TO the request Of the
governors of some Of the states for the
mustet-out OF their entire volunteer
force, the president replied in Sub.
stance, as follows:
: Answering your teiegraphic 70
quest for the muster-out Of your regi-
ments, | have already determined that
100, 900 Of the volunteers shall be mus.
tered out Of the service. This Ia be-
cause, In my Judgment, that number
can be spared. About 100000 Wall
remain, as tlre government now re-
qutres in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines larger army than the
regular military establishment affords.
The muster out. like the muster-in,
will be as nearly as possible according
to the population Of the several statee.
The suggestion to mustev-out all of the
volunteers from your state cannot,
therefore, be entertained. The secre-
tary Of war has already inquired of the
governors OF the several states what
regiments in their Judgment can, with
the least Inconvenience, remain in the
service. Their advices will, so far as I
stn concerned, if consistent with the
public interest, be complied with"

HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS.
Recruiting A gents Impressing Employees
of Foreign Residents.


Manila, Sept. 12.-Recruiting agents
of the insurgents are causing further
trouble. They have been impressing
employees of foreign residents, includ-
ing those of the British consul, and
several foreigners have complained that
native grooms are taking their employ
ers' horses and joining the insurgents.
American army chaplains have insti-
tuted Protestant services in private
buildings. Such services were never
previously held in the history Of the
Philippines.
In conformity with the new regula-
tions, most of the Spanish steamers are
taking American registry. The native
crews refuse to serve under Spanish
officers, and the insurgents demand
that the American authorities employ
no Spaniards in any capacity whatrSer.
The insurgents continue divided be-
tween those who advocate absolute in
dependence and those who favor an
American protectorate.
The British cruiser Powerful arrived
today and saluted Admiral Dewey.
General Otis responded from the Utah
battery in the citadel. 1t was the first
salute since the surrender.
