Further Trouble Among Mou,ders Of Saco s

Biddeford, Me-, Oct. 13.-Contrary to
expectations after last nights meeting
of the Moulders' Union. the trouble be-
tween the moulders of the Saco &
Pettee machine shop and the manage
ment, over the question of wages is not
yet adjusted. A committee of the
union is in conference with the agent,
this afternoon. The demand of the
moulders was for an increase of wages
to So day. The agent has offered an
increase of 25 cents day, partial
concession and the moulders have
agreed to accept this, but they decline
to accept the further proposal of the
agent that a greater amount of work
than at present be considered a day s
labor under the new schedule. They
declare that his proposition means an
increase of 10 per cent. in the work.

Gen. Brooke has been directed by the
war department to consi ser the sub
ject of Il permanent garrison for the
island of Porto Rico. With the troops
now on the island and those en- route
exclusive of those on the island who
have been ordered home. Gen. Brooke s
command consists of about 5000 men
He is inclined to the belief that q
force of 5000 or 1000 will be ample as a
garrison Cor the island.
Whether regiments of regulars will
be sent to Porto Rico will depend upon
the recommendation of Gen. Brooke
At all events it is not likely in the
opinion of the war department officials
that any regulars will be ordered to the
island before the first of next year.

THEY SIMPLY MADE A CHART.
Wainwright Board Was Not Formed to Decide
to Whom Credit Belonged.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The pubica-
ton of what purported to be the report
of the Wainwright board on the parts
taken by the respective vessels of the
United States fleet in the destruction
of Cervera's squadron caused consid-
erale commotion in the navy depart
ment. In view of the fact that the re-
port had not reached Washington at
the date of the publication an inquiry
was set on foot by the department to
ascertain first, whether the publica
tions were accurate and second who
was responsible for the discourtesy in
volved in the publication of an official
report before it had reached the navy
department.
Commander Wainwright, the head of
the board arrived in Washington. YES

any knowledge of the publication saw

the report was to be transmitted by

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 13.-The advance in
prices in today stock market was signi-
iican, of the improved tone of speculative
sentiment. Quite q large short intercs'c
was eliminated from the market by yes
terday's advance and the urgent demand
from that interest satisfied. there were
several factors that might have hes
utilized by the bears in the days devel-
opments. The depression in foreign mar
llets was SO marked as TO suggest some
knowledge of pending political compioa-
tons in the deeper financial currents.
The confident manner in which all offer
ings both for London and the short ac-
court were absorbed took all the assur-
ance out of the bears and they made no
aggressive move. with the exception OF
ere drive against Tobacco, during the
remainder of the day. An exceedingly
significant feature was the investment
demand for small lots OF giIt-edge stocks.
There We're conspicuous movements OF
this sort in St. Paul preferred Pullman
Great Northern preferred ST. Paul &
Omaha preferred and Pennsylvania. This
buying is clearly the pressure of idle cap
it$i seeking secure investment and is
natural concomitant of the growing east
in the money market.
Call loans We're made at per cent. to-
day. and there is a constant increase in
the supply of money offering both for
time loans and mercantile paper. Short
ster,irg was slightly firmer in tone in re-
Spouse to the advance in the Bank OF
England rates. The lays net gains equal
q point for many stocks.

PHILLIP, Commodore.
Commodore Phillip has not transmit

something is known of it's general char

a misconception of the functions of the
board Admiral Sampson who appoint
ed the board, chose the navigators of
the vessels in the fleet that were en-
gagged in the battle of July g. He made
but one exception, in the case of his
own flagship, the New York, refusing
to nominate a member. The naviga-
tor of the Brooklyn. the Gloucester, the
Texas, Iowa and Indiana were all
members of this board. But the New
York had no representative.
It was directed to ascertain and re-
port the positions of the vessels en-
gagged in this action. 1t did not eXcede
this instruction in any point in its re-
port, which comprises very little more
than a chart on which the positions of

officers Of the fleet.
