night and robbed of nearly 500 worth of
jewelry and silverware. The lieutenant

ter, and is now in Havana. About O'Clock
this morning the discovery was made that
his residence had been entered and robbed
II was about II o'clock last night when the
last member of the family retired and the
house was locked up for the night. An ex-
animation of the premises showed that the
burglar had effected an entrance by forcing
off the shutter from rear window on the
first floor
In addition to the property of Lieutenant
Wainwright, the burglars took from the
kitchen closet a pair of gold earrings and a
silver bangle. These articles, which are
valued at s., belonged 10 Patsy Williams,

glars who have robbed other houses in this
city in recent weeks.

A rule has just been issued by the Inte-

be welcomed by a large number of public
officials. especially congressman. 1t relates
TO pensions. and stipulates that any attor-
reg prdcticing before the department who

Sentative. other than those whose duty it
Is under the law to supervise and admin

his attorneyship in the case.
The rule also prohibits the attorney from
advising his client. directly or indirectly to
secure such aid. and when evidence is pre-
scented that such has been the case the
pension office is to accept such proof as an
abandonment of the claim by the attorney.
The above is to be known as rule %, and

Change I'm the U Street System.

The 14th street electric cars are running
as announced in yesterdays Star would be
done, and their operation is satisfactory to
the managers of the road. It goes without
saying that the patrons of the road are de-
lighted. especially those who live along the
14th street line, that they are no longer
compelled to exchange to horse cars when
they wish to continue down PENNSYLVANIA
avenue.
As tie result Of the running Of the cars
today II is likely that tomorrow the Off
Gals of the road will find it will be possible
to attach trailers to the cars and run
trains Of two cars instead of single cars
Whea this is done the equipment of the 18th
street line will be fully completed, except,
CT course. the section from Pennsylvania
avenue to the Baltimore and Ohio depot.
1t may be possible there will be sufficient
current available to run cars on the

near future an enlargement of the plant

to operate the lexington railroad, when it

The entire system of the Capital Traction

The cable power house at the foot of 9TH

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. March l2.-Declines. grad
ual but persistent. We're the features OF
todays short speculative session. AT no
time Were there symptoms OF actual panic
but liquidation was constant and buyers
were Few. The net result of the two holrs'
trading is reflected by losses varying from
z to ! per cent Decentralization was mar
rowiy averted at times. and efforts TO pre-
vent cannot be relaxed until something
favorable is reported from Washington.
The fact that many tempting bargains
are In view does not prompt buying to any
considerable degree, the fear of one more
comprehensive decline postponing the IN
vestment of available funds The short
interest covered literally toward the be-
s g, nihg OF the second hour, the demand for
sugar being especially conspicuous during
ti-is period Once the immediate needs OF
the short interest were supplied il devel-
oped that the market was entirely bare of
legitimate buying orders.
In consequence of this discovery new
seiHng was undertaken, with the result
that the days lowest level was reached
at or near the close of business. From 5
I'D ~ per cent has been detracted from the
active list during the week as the result Of
an lntuitive belief that but one report is
possible from the board of inquiry The
actual Ming of this report may mark the
u. a
SUIT Is not without precedent and MANY
shrewd judges incline toward 1t in this
emergency.
Inc high-priced shares suffered most I'm
To-Day trading, and the same rule pre-
Valled during the entire week This fact
is significant because rejecting the liuuida-
tion or investment holdings. Stocks paving
per cent dividends and selling IL per cent
under par must be reaching the low point.
concessions from now on in this class of
securities must be attributed to an abso-
lutte mistrust of the future
FROM such reasoning on the part of the
tEnld springs the opportunity of the DELHI
crate ard farsighted. St Paul for exam
pie with . per cent rate assured and
strongly held, was especially weak TODAY
humored embarrassment of a London
hrm operating in American securities helped
the decline in this property The manipula-
tive stocks in which merit is usually a sec
ordary consideration were no more notice
able today tnan the securities which are
used as the standard of value
Inc condition cannot be paralyzed in
Gehnlteiy hence the belief in radical de-
veiopments during the coming week The
best opinion is that the decline will have
cutninated before next Saturday but at
what level no one ventures to guess I-ntil
scme definite incentive comes into the sit
uation the public will continue 10 stand
aicof.
The bank statement reflects a decrease
OF Slo,392, 400 in loans during the week
another evidence of a tightening of snecu-
iatiVe risks. Legal tender holdings de-
creased s4,673i 400, and specie Increased "a
