The stock Market.

New York, June 2T.-The character of
 tie changed to-day from that recently
 prevailing. Railroad stocks were neg
 lected and with few exceptions drift
 ed to a lower price level, the demand
 being insufficient to absorb even the
 small offerings Meantime individual
 specialties were taken up and pushed
 forward independently to a higher level
 without regard to the general tendency
 in the market and without influence
 upon it.
 There was sharp drive against Su-
 gar and Peoples Gas in the opening
 transactions, which reduced their price
 nearly S1 per share. This was appar-
 entity with a purpose on the part of
 the bears to put stop to the upward tendency of some of the specialties But the industrial stocks continued to be influenced entirely by individual causes, and both Sugar and Peoples Gas were allowed to recover. Tobacco,
 the Rubber stocks, Spirits preferred Pullman, Third Avenue and Brooklyn Transit all showed marked strength at one time or another, the latter advanc- ing to near 55 on very heavy buying in the final hour. There were a few ex- captions to the heaviness in the rail- road list, the Vanderbilts and Rio Grande Western showing some tenden- cy to advance.
 There was also quite an active de-
 mand for Atchison preferred at a small advance in price, which was explained by the later publication of the May
 traffic statement, showing an increase in the gross earnings of $4S5,S44 and in
 the net earnings of s23s,297. Part of the dullness in the market is attributable to doubt over the bearing of the new war tax to go into effect July 1 on stock sales, loans and exchange, especially on the two first named. The decision of the internal revenue office that all reissues of stock certificates, whether i for transfers or merely for an accumu- | lation of holdings into one certificate, are to be taxed as fresh issues is con- | sidered rather onerous, and measures | for legally avoiding" this tax are | quite frankly discussed in Wall street. | One measure proposed is to deposit | stock certificates. with trust companies | and deal in the companies certificates. 1 The effect of preparations at July dis
 bursements and also the use of money at interior points for subscriptions for | the governments loan had some slight | effect on the tone of the money market l to-day. The collection by the treasury | of checks for subscriptions to the bonds | of small denominations is also having | the effect of reducing the sub-treasu- 1 ry's debit balance at the clearing house. | Rates for money are not, however, ap- l precably changed.
 There was a good degree of activity | in bonds to-day and prices of railroad
 mortgages were generally higher. To- 1 tai sales S3,175,000

THE HUMANITY OF WAR.

A Milan correspondent of the Frank furter Zeitung writes
 "The effect of the new guns proved during the recent riots to be of ter rible description. By far the greater part of the wounded are doomed to die. The real number of those killed during the riots cannot remain a secret much longer, as too many are. in the se- cret; certain 1t is that there are consid- erably more than the official number. And the number of the wounded is ex- traordinarily large. Regarding the ac- tion of the new Ballestite guns I have obtained the following information from medical men both in and out of the army. Experiments had been made in Florence and Milan by firing at large tin boxes filled with wet bran, the specific weight and density of which about equals that of the human brain. At a distance of zoo to 600 yards the boxes exploded in many pieces, fly ing in all directions.
 ''The explanation of this effect was believed to lie in the extreme velocity of the new projectiles. Where the bull let finds strong obstacle, 1t imparts it's movement, transformed into mole cular motion, to the resisting object The contents of the box-or of the skull seek forcibly to escape in all direc- tions and thus break the box or the skull. This explains why all who re- ceived a. wound in the head present the same terrible spectacle. In all of these cases the whole top of the skull is blown off like the lid of a box, and the brain forced out. If the ball hits a mus cle, it passes through but if 1t hits a bone, it shatters 1t and hurls the pieces in all directions, the consequence being that all whose limbs are struck need amputation, while all who are hit ir the body must die. At the same time the sufferings of the wounded are SC horrible that it has been necessary tc put many of them into straitjackets tc save them from their own frantic movements"

Hundreds Treated Daily
At Dr. Gray Medical Institute, Lo- cated Permanently Corner Chapel and Temple Streets.
Cures That Are Phenomenal.

A large number of New Haven's most influential and prominent citizens have placed themselves under treatment at the Dr. Gray Medical Institute and have been surprised at the wonderful amount of benefit they have received. This Institute is doing more to alleviate the suffering of men than any other institution known and wikh the over whelming results they show and the large number of sworn aftidavits they produce from those who have been cured at their hands, there is no reason why every suffering man and woman should not place themselves under im- mediate treatment. In fact those who are neglecting to do so are missing a chance of a lifetime, for Dr. Gray and his wonderful associates are making cures daily that are miraculous.
 Frank Benner, who has suffered with rheumatism for the past eighteen years, and could not move without pain, was relieved of all his suffering after one treatment.
 Harry Bell, who has been deaf for years, has been under the care of the doctors at the Dr. Gray Medical Insti- tute for nearly week now and has im- proved so rapidly that he can hear a watch tick nearby as well as ever and will be discharged as cured within a short time. If you are sick you are not only doing yourself an injustice, but an injury by not consulting this great specialist, as he can put you on the road to recovery as soon as you begin treatment.

THE MAYOR AND THE ASSESSORS.

After announcing his appointments yesterday afternoon Mayor Farnsworth met the reappointed members of the board of assessors in his office and dis cussed with them informally the duties of their board. The mayor called att tention to the fact that the board of assessors was now city department, and as such the conduct of it's business might be along slightly different lines than previously. He also called atten- tion to the fact that the board was one of the most important under the city government in that in it's work it touch ed directly the pockets of the citizens.

SENIOR PROMENADE.
Brilliant Affair at Alumni Hall Las
 Evening.

Brilliant Affair at Alumni Hall Last
 Evening.
 The most prominent of the many social affairs attendant upon Commencement week at Yale Is the Senior promenade, and the one by the class of '0S in Alumni hall last night was of surpassing brilliancy. The grim walls of Old Alumni had been gaily bedecked for the occasion with palms and potted plants, while the platform immedi- ately opposite the entrance to the hall was almost hidden with innumerable plants. The whole hall indeed presented a pretty appearance large number of boxes were arranged about the edges of the floor and there were also many chairs to accommo- date those In attendance.
 Wells orchestra furnished the music for the dances and was stationed on the plat form over the door. The music was su- perb and the dances so much enjoyed in consequence that an encore was played to each one. There were twenty-four dances and five extras on the programme, alternat- ing two steps and waltzes The grand march at o'clock was led by the members of the committee on arrangemonts: T. T. Van Beurcn, F.. c. Perkins. H. B. Butler, H. W. Wilcox and E. Sawyer and about 100 couples participated, It was a beauti- ful sight. he ladies looked extremely pretty in their becoming and costly gowns. mission was spent by the dancers in the improvised reception room adjoining the hall.
 Two immense tents were pitched on a part of tho campus near Durfee and they were enclosed with a hich board fence. The ground was covered with canvas and small tables were placed here and there where refreshments were served. The Senior fence proved an attractive place for the young la dies and they sat on it with much com posture.
 Dancing continued until about three o'clock. and many then left the hall with much reluctance, and all expressed them selves as having spent one of the most de- lightful evenings of their social careers
 Among the young ladies noticed were:

Pope temporized, but anonymous pam phlets and letters assailed the Bishop and fair friends. They at length de- cided to quit fingers. Their absence did not soften the virulent spirit. The Bishop, deprived of their society, fell like an exile in his palace. His health gave way, and he came to Paris for medical treatment and sympathy, but too late. He refused to be attended by the former housekeeper and her friend at hotel, but went to private hos- pital. He there spoke of himself as a martyr done to death by the poison of malignant tongues.-London Daily News

 THE BALL GAME.

THE NEW GAS.

At to-day's sitting of the Academy
 of Sciences, M. Berthelot read letter
 from Prof. Ramsay, the co-discoverer with Lord Rayleigh of argon, giving the first announcement of another dis
 covery of the same nature. This new
 gas he proposes to call crypton. The
 discovery was affected, like that of ar
 gon by the aid of the spectroscope. The presence of crypton was detected by the existence in the spectrum of a
 green line, which M. Berthelot saw this
 morning in a. minute tube containing the two-millionth of pound which
 Professor Ramsey had sent with his letter. According to the description for warded to M. Berthelot, crypton be- longs, not to the argon, but to the elium family, and it's density is some
 what greater than that of oxygen. It appears to be a simple body, and mon- atomic For these details M Berthelot offers the guarantee of the we'll known ability of the discover. Prof Ramsay states that he will collect larger quantity of crypton for further re-
 searches, of the results of which he will give the academy thefrst informa- ton. M. Berthelot calls attention to the compliment paid to the Academy by so many English men of science in
 saluting it as the medium of publicity for their discoveries. This, he said, was an answer to the intrigues of ob- scure personages who tried to create a chasm between the two leading pioneers of modern science and civiliza- ton. The effect remained to be seen on hygiene and biology of the acknowl- edged presence of so many substances in that atmospheric gas which we in- haled from our first to our last breath. =Paris Cnrresnnndence London Times

DREADFUL FOREST FIRES.
Doing Millions OF Dollars of Damage

Denver, Col, Sept. 20. ~ Dispatches
received here indicate that great fires
are devastating the timber growth on
the main range. From Hahn's Peak
on the north 20 Pegosa Springs on
the south, distance Of hundreds of
miles, the flames are doing their de-
structive work unchecked.
The flames are known TO be doing
tremendous damage in Routt county,
in Egeria Park, along the Roaring
Fork river, and down in the San Juan
region.
An estimate OF the damage done is
hard 10 make, but il will run into the
millions. Human life may have al

Diplomatic Atmosphere In Paris Not
Inclined Towards the American
Peace Commission.

Paris, Sept. 2s.--While the reception
accorded the United States peace COM

sired, and while the French foreign
Office has taken great pains to treat
the American and Spanish commits
sioners in precisely the same manner,
X must be admitted that the general
atmosphere OF Paris, especially the
diplomatic atmosphere, does not in
cline towards America.
IT is the general impress sion here
that the American commissioners
have instructions 20 provide for the
retention Of Manila and the island OF
I.uzon. "and for a commission 20 pre-
tend 10 negotiate is a farce" said a
prominent diplomat. He continued:
America viii put herself automatically.

visions Of the protocol which both ma
lions signed. ! know tho Spaniards have
come prepared TO make concessions but
II the Americans instructions are OF an
uncompromising nature. which ~ generally
believed here TO be the case. you can rest
assured that the work OF the commission
will be futile. The Spaniards Will retire
and America will at least have TO threaten
resumption OF hostilitics before she will
gain her point"
The morning and afternoon sessions
OF the United States peace commits
sioners were devoted 10 the Internal
affairs of the commission and to the
systematization Of the working force.
