bridal blossoms, combined with smilax

will have as fighting force the armored
cruisers New York and Brooklyn, the
battleships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts
and Texas, besides the best of the pro-
tected cruisers and torpedo boats.
This force is more than match for the
feet Cervera can bring against it.
The detachment of the monitors will
increase the speed of SIMPSONS fleet at
least five knots. This applies even to the
battleships. Should the Spanish feet be
met and try TO run away the Brooklyn
and Minneapolis could oyertake them and
hold them in battle till the other ships

There is still much uncertainty as to
the size of the Spanish fleet. Reports
from Cadiz state that the three Spanish
cruisers under question are there, but
reports from Cadiz heretofore have not
been of nature to inspire confidence in
Cadiz veracity.
Even if it is proven finally that the
three cruisers are not part of the feet

Also there is the certainty that Spain
is now intending to carry the war on
vigorously. If the cruisers have not yet
left Cadiz, they will do so within a few
days undoubtedly. The Pelayo and other

Navy Department yesterday was the
mail report of Capt. Merry of the Will
mington, on the battle of Cardenas, re-
eeived yesterday. The report Is fuller
than the teiegraphic account received two
days after the battle. The report of
Capt. Merry is interesting, especially
from the fact it first made known, that
the United States flag was raised at

New York, March 23.-The doubt over
the outcome of the Cuban question be-
tween the United States and Spain was
a depressing influence In the local stock
market to-day. as IL was in every market
for securities in the world. In Paris the
weakness of Spanish As affected all 9TH
er securities by sympathy. and the same
influence weakened the markets In Lon
don and Berlin. the heaviness of Ameri-
can railroad securities being an additional,
factor at the latter two oentcis.
On the local exchange there was q we'll
defined bull party. whose operations were
attended with more or less success. thus
subtracting very materially from the sum
of the depression. The motive publicly
avowed by this bull party for its attitude
is that prices are lower than are war
ranted by intrinsic values and by the po-
litical outlook, but IL is doubtless infiu-
enced also by the technical condition of
the market. which is full of short con-
tracts waiting to be covered on the eN-
pected slump on anticipated decisive de-
velopments i'm the Cuban situation. There
is a temptation for a bull clique to force
up prices and compel the shorts to cover.
The effort of the bulls to-day was only
moderately successful in inducing cover
ing, but they did discourage further
short selling and twice rallied prices
from declines running Up to a point or
more in many prominent stocks.
The market closed with one of these
rallies in force, so that the net changes
are for the most part insignificant and
there is a fair sprinkling of gains. The
Industrial specialties continued to be the
chief sufferers from depression. The rail-
road list was pretty well sustained and
the Northern Pacific stocks and Union
Pacific preferred showed not a little
frmness.
The money market seams to be waiting
on the Cuban question equally with
stocks. Bankers are loath to put out mon
ey in time loans, although the available
supply, with the replenishment of the
gold imports. is said to be quite large.
To-day's falling i'm exchange and the re-
newed engagements of gold nay be put

factor r. the cancellation of orders for

will perhaps be appreciated when we
state that one mill had one order for

All that can he said about prices Is that
there is not enough of a market to make
prices. Quotations are nominally un-
changed. but a market so dull as the
present is bound to sag OF its own weight.
Concessions are made and sporadic cases
of unusually low quotations are encoun-
tered. Most dealers in carpet woods have
done no business to speak of but in GER

Great Falls, March 23.-The demo-
cratic primaries were all largely at
tended tonight and much enthusiasm
was shown in every ward. About $50
were at the First ward, and the contest
between o. F. Wadsworth and Otto
S~choenfeldt for the nomination for al
derman was hot, and the balloting con-
tinued until a late hour. The final
result was declared in favor of Wads-
worth.
In the Second ward there was a fair
sized crowd for that precinct, which is
smaller than others in the city. and
there were many in the hall who had
come to look on. After the meeting
had organized the names of j. G..
Graves Thompson and George X.
Woods were presented. A ballot re-
suited in the election of the latter a n
didate.
The Third ward primary vas very
harmonious and without any opposi-
ton. The populist nominee, Jacob
Schmidt, was unanimously endorsed.
The result In the Fourth ward was
similar. and ]. J. Mcdonnell was hear
tilly endorsed by the democrats pres
ent. In all Of the wards delegates and
alterpates to the city convention were
appointed, but the work of the conven-
ton sNkA~lbe light. The whole ticket
put up by the democrats tonight is a
very strong one, and 1t is safe to say
thai II will be the winning ticket next

state of dullness bordering on stagna-

Edward Koch and Mary Jones. This Ii
cense was originally dated on Jan. 4,
but instead of marrying Edward, Mary
Jones brought her sensational suit
against r. w. Fullerton for 5000 dam
ages for alleged assault. Edward took
the license back TO the clerk of the court
and asked him to call II OFF. and also to
request all of the papers In the city not
to publish the issuance of the license. Ed
ward gave as a reason for the change In
the programme that Mary was about to
bring her suit and was not so likely to
win IL IL she should marry him at that
time. Then Edward disappeared from the
sight of the sheriff. who had a subpoena
from the defense to serve On Eddie, and
he remained away until just as the jury
had been charged at the trial. He was
also present in the court room when the
verdict came in the next day. and he ex-
pressed his disappointment at the practi-
cal acquittal of Fullerton. Now that the
