was held at the rooms of the Boston.

" hich it was stated that the liabilities

assets s432. 22l49.
Mr.. Codding made a statement say
ing that the firm was in no condition.
to make any proposals for settlement.
He was reasonably certain that they
could not go on if they could get an.
favorable settlement. He would like
an expression as to what the creditors
thought they ought to pay. and then
he could tell better what the firm was
prepared to do. -
1t was finally decided to refer the
report back to the committee with in
s.ruetions to confer with the firm and

President Hart says ne will remove
Dahlen from the captaincy of the Chi
Cages if he persists in scrapping with
the umpires.
Manager Tom Burns was in

The action of the board of directors
Of tie league at Philadelphia, Monday,
was just about what was to be ex-
pected. Holmes. the player. did moth
ing that justified suspension for the
remainder Of the season. At the worst
a lay off of three days would have
answered. The umpire did not hear
him. The player had been roasted"
by magnate. and the league natural
ly stood by one Of its number. right
or wrong. 1t was always thus.
Secretary Won der Horst of the Balti-
more club says of the action of the
league directors at Philadelphia. Mon
day: THE whole thing was a strad-
die. pure and simple. I do not know
what I will do shall sleep over it.
and then decide in the morning." In
the present crippled condition of the
Baltimore club the enforced retirement
of Holmes would be severe loss. Col.
Rogers was visibly irritated by the
boards action, and declared that the
verdict was reached, not by evidence,
but by policy.
Boston Journal: McGraw of the Bal
timores has been so often roasted
throughout the league circuit as a
dirty ball player that it is a pleasure
to chronicle something good Of him.
When McGraw was in Cincinnati re-
once famous ball player. wrecked by
the morphine habit. contracted by the
use of the drug while the globe trot-
ter was suffering from an injury to the
spine. McGraw paid Earle's transpor

treatment in a hospital there at his
own expense. The physicians are
very confident that Earle can be cured
Boston Journal: The decision Of the
board Of directors of the National
League in the "Ducky" Holmes case
is one of the most weakened decis-
ions on record Holmes is punished
out of ali proportion to his offence.
while the New York club. in view Of
the fact that it does not have to split
receipts with Baltimore for the for
feited game. is in reality fined only
about $500. The Baltimores are the
real sufferers They must fill Holmes
place, and it will cost them three Or
four times the New Yorks' fine to Sc
cure a player equal to him. Harry
Won der Horst is right In declaring
the decision an outrageous straddle.

WHALeRs DOING WELL.
All the Vessels In Arctic Regions Are Making
Good Catches.

San Francisco, Aug 1.-THE Arctic
whalers are doing well this season, ac-
eording to news just received here. All
the vessels which We're frozen in and to
which relief was sent. have got out of
the ice with the exception of the Belvi-
dere. When the ice began to form. Cap
tain Willard managed to work his vessel
into little bay, where she was consid-
cred safe. That safety has proved her
undoing so far, for while the Fearless.
Jeanne. Newport, Rosario and Wanderer
have got out and are now at Port Clar-
ence. she is still fast in the ice near Point
Barrow ~ .a.Fia -
!, The steam whaler. Alexander instead of
being wrecked. is all right and is said to
have taken five whales. The bark John
Winthrop had taken one sperm and two
whales. while the bark Gayhead had the
same number. The steam whaler William
Bayles had taken six whales and the
Jeanette three, while the Karluk had five.
The only bad news is the reported death
of Captain Tilton of the steam whaler
Narwhal. This information is contained
in letter from Mate John Laria of the

CONGRATULATIONS EXCHANGED
BY Presidsat Mckinley and Faure on Con-
pletion d New French Cable.

Washington, Aug. 17.-President Mcktn-
ley and President Faure of France, to-
day. exchanged direct Fluctuations over
the relations of the two countries ana ex-
pressions of mutual esteem of the. two
Chief Executives.
The occasion was the opening OF new
cable between Cape Cod, MASSACHUSETTS,,
and Havre, on the French coast, and the
wires were connected between the White
House and 1.-THE, presidential" palace at
Havre.
The ceremony is result of an arrange
ment made many weeks ago between
President Mckinley and Ambassador
Cambon.
It was the call for this purpose which
first started conjecture as to Frances be-
ing the nation, to initiate a peace move
ment between the United States and
Spain. At that time there was no basis
for the peace conjecture, as NJ. CambOn
has received no instructions to act. He
arranged for the exchange of courtesies
between Presidents Mckinley and Faure,
but there were many delays owing to the
failure to complete the cable
Not until yesterday was word received
from NJ. Luerrine. the New York mana
ger of the French Gable Co. that the line
was completed and ready to receive the
first messages between the two Presi-
dents. The completion of the line was
accomplished in mid-ocean. the two cable
ships approaching each other from the
American and the French side of the
water. and linking together the two ends.
The line is a renewal of the old French
line running from Cape Cod, Mass, to
Havre. France 1t is the longest cable
line in the world, the other Atlantic
cables being shortened by touching at
Nova Scotia.
The exchange, today is the second of
| the kind which has occurred. President
Buchanan and Queen Victoria having ex-
| changed congratulations, Aug }. 1858.
when the Atlantic cable was first laid.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW roax MARKET.
The Features Of The Days 0salIass In All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE feature Of
the day on the stock market was the
action OF the directors Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy in advancing the
quarterly dividend on the stock to the
per cent. rate. Although this action
has been rumored and had been indus
triously discounted in the advance of
the stock for many days past and pro-
fits already taken on the advance, the
announcement, today. was met by a
furious outburst of speculation in that
and all the other Changers which car
ried the price of Burlington fully three
points over the previous high level on
tine movement. Burlington bounded up
from the low point about five points,
St. Paul 3A and each stock in the
group sharply advanced
After a period of rather feverish
fiuctuation. these stocks settled down
to firm and quiet tone near the top
while the urgent demand for stocks
went seeking through the list, advanc-
ing first one group and then another.
Scarcely a stock failed to move, even
the neglected and despi4ed icoalers
coming in for gains of ITO 3tpoints.
Top prices were clipped by profit
taking before the close in d majority
Of cases. but the closing was steady
only slightly below the best. The
easing of the sterling exchange sale
was probably due to tNk falling on of
buying stocks in London for New
York account. ega q,5t s.si1.
There was good demand for bonds at
higher prices. Total sales. $4,065. 900.
