THE CARRINGToN MYSTERY
Police Believe That He Was Deceived
and Killed

New York, April 5.-The death of Albert
Darlington in the bloody disordered room
OF the Lawrence street mouse In BROOKLYN
presents today so many remarkable
phases TO the police that they are even
more mystified to how h.. was killed
Every theory they have advanced has
had 10 be abandoned sooner or later by
reason OF this discovery Of new evidence
or by sill further contradiction and con-
hict in the statements of Mrs. Caring
ton, Charles l.. Hill or William Burns
the only persons who knew ANYTHING
about the tragedy.
Hill was arraigned today before Magis-
trate Brenner and again he told his
story, which the police have accepted
with a silence which seems to mean that
they do not believe him. They feel sure
he knows more than he is willing to tell
Mrs Darlington, the pretty wife of the
dead man, who is in the homeopathic
Hospital, recovering from the pistol
wound she at first said her husband had
inflicted upon her, now declares that she
does not know who shot her. This adds
another complication to the strange case.
After reviewing all the facts. after
carefully inspecting the bloody rooms of
the Darlington home. at No 15S Lawrence
street the police believe that Albert Car
rington was killed in a terrible fight with
Hill and Burns. his lodgers.

shots were intended for him and that in

The STREET In SUSPENSE
Business on Change Brought Al
NEST to Il Standstill.
American and Spanish Securities Ad.
yerseiy Affected by the Gravity
of Diplomatic Situation.

New York, April SIT was generally
recognized today that the element of UNI
certainty in the present dominant intlu-
ence in the situation will soon be elimi-
mated and that possibly within "a hours
the country will know whether it's bust
ness affairs are to be conducted with the
contingencies of war to be considered, or
in the state of profound peace that has
existed for 20 years. The appreciation
of the gravity of the situation brought
business on the Stock Exchange almost
to a standstill, but it was not, as has
been the case so often in the past six
weeks, attended by state of market
Generalization.
On the contrary, while prices sagged
during the greater part of the day, the
trading was free from any considerable
nervousness, which would indicate the
extent to which the speculative house
cleaning has progressed since Feb
ruary 15
The indisDosition to make new market
ventures was pronounced even on the
part of the professional board room trad
erS. Commission house business was lin
tied. but was on the selling side, as were
the inconSiderable dealings for foreign ac-
count. The state of suspense in the stock
market was reflex OF the same condition
in the outside banking and business
world.
Both Spanish and United States govern
mentt securities were adversely affected
by the gravity of the diplomatic situa-
ton, the first declining notably. The for
eiGn exchange market was also very
weak and there were heavy additional
engagements of sold for export. Scarcely
any more attention was paid thereto than
TO the statements of traffic returns re-
ported by a number of railway companies
There were no special developments bear
ing upon particular securities or any 9TH
er occurrences Of sufficient importance to
divert attention from the diplomatic sit
uauon. The movement set on foot on
the Stock Exchange looking to the open
ing of the board on Good Friday indi-
Gated the dominance of that situation
and the recognition of it's gravity
While the highest prices of the day
were generally made near the opening of
business, and while subsequently the
market sagged rather steadily. the net
losses for the day were not very severe
and could have taken place under other
circumstances without exciting particular
attention. The largest dealings were in
sugar refining, Manhattan, Union Pacific
preferred and the granger shares.
In the final dealings the market became
rather more active and advanced on pur-
chases III which houses with close Wash
iiigtoh connections took the lead The
advance was not. however, attended nv
any news or rumors of a pacific turn IN
the diplomatic situation
The market was stronger in tho l.st
half hour on covering of shorts by -oon
traders.

The stock market WAS lifeless

The stock market was lifeless and
without feature. The uncertainty is of so
overwhelming u nature that the traders
were afraid to venture either way.
There was some little activity in the
first half hour and recovery from the
droop OF the opening prices, but after
that the tendency was downward If in
any direction. Undoubtedly the news of
the day was of most serious character
and there are many of the opinion that
TINS morning the nation is nearer war
than at any time since the Maine was
blown up. The message will go in and
it will be at least not an open plea for
peace The friends of the Administration
with this assurance from the fountain
head. are saying that Congress will act
strongly directing immediate Intervention
and that thus war will be inevitable. The
trouble with this diagnosis OF the situa-
tion Is that no account seems to have
been taken of the character of the Pres
ident so eloquently portrayed in the
weeks of the crisis that have passed At
ter watching the vacillation Of the Execu-
tive and the utter inabality to do any

ton and TO stop there He will expect to

tion as to time. This will mean thai he
may take as much time as he sees fit
and ii will mean also that he will see fit
to act very slowly. The intention of all
this is very plainly that he hopes even
yet with this show of frmness TO get
Spain to accede to the Independence
proposition.
This plan is, anyone can see, no
sterner in reality than any that has gone
before. But there is difference. II
brings the entire matter before Congress.
and although there is evidently the inten-
ton to hold that body down and compel
the acceptance of the Presidents plan
either by deceit or strength there is very
good evidence that no such thing can be
done. AT least the chances for an ont
break and an assertion of independence bv
Congress is better than ever before. With
such a situation full of so many possi-
blities II is almost useless to attempt an
intelligent forecast of the market The
chances would seem to favor a weak open
ing, however, with the remainder of the
day TO depend on the developments.
