Yesterdays business was the largest for
MANY weeks 1t equaled that of two or
three DAYS of the duller season. The en-
tire speculative public seemed determined
to get into the market. The boom seems
10 be on in fact and there is little IN the
croaks of the bears who have sprung up
with high prices that can keep the pubic
from reaping the benefit of the advance
The market upon the whole was excited
and full of vim and variety. The opening
was followed by immense buying and be-
fore the noon hour there had been almost
half a million shares bought and sold. A
selling movement developed early, evil
dently induced by the people that have
been bulls heretofore and have made prof
its. 1t was noticeable that there was
nearly as much demand as there was sup
ply When the ardor to sell had abated
somewhat the demand continued and
prices went higher. The market was
strong in the latter part of the day and
the promise for today seems good.
The grangers were especially strong.
There was a weak hour in Burlington ear
ly in the day. but the people who sold
were sorry for il afterward. There was
some distrust OF the promises that the
dividend of Burlington would be in

made TO bolster up the stock. Later the
announcement was made that the divi-
dend would be at the rate of per cent
hereafter and there began Immediately
fever of buying The stock Went up five
points from the low price of the morning.
St. Paul had an advance of two points
during the day and the other grangers
were all in good favor. Burlington has
been paying per cent yearly dividend
and the announcement of 1-2 per cent
hereafter means an advance of of
per cent yearly. This is regarded as in
accordance with the prospects of the
roads earning capacity.
st. Paul is in position not whit less
encourag ging. The new wheat crop will
be enormous. 1t is no argument that the
earnings of ST. Paul during the last few
weeks have been small compared with
last year. The earnings from now on will
be good, If the opinion of experts is worth
anything The gross earnings of the road

Enthusiastically OF the suggestion OF Cen
eral Fitzhugh Lee for President In 1900.
This Is all right in the excitement Of the

willing to abandon the paramount
issue?" General Lee is gold standard
man, and was a firm supporter OF Presi-
dent cleveland's financial policy What
do Mr.. Bryan, and Chairman. Jones. and
many other Of the paramount issue
statesmen think about It? Have they
been consulted? %
General Lee is oil right. He is a
patriot and would grace the presidential
oiIice-but, again, what about the para
mount issue; is tito be thrown over
board by the party? For5the;good OF the
country, we hope SO; but.we doub.

the President has had two things in

J Btaneo's Insult 10 Lee.

q How much has been gained for the
Spanish cause in the eyes OF the diplt,-
9inatic world by the gross Insult to which
Captain General Blanco subjected Con-
! sui General Lee Immediately before the
slatter's departure from Havana, re-
Z maths to be seen. That the military
head Of affairs in Cuba should have
been too busy" to receive the represent
Statiye OF the United States on his going
to the palace to bid him good-by, at a
lime when the two countries were still
Sat peace, and negotiations were still
pending In last hope for a peaceful
settlement OF difficulties, should serve to
bring about a reaction Of any sympathy
that might have existed for Spain in the
European mind. It has simply excited
disgust and contempt for Spanish "di-
tplomacy" in the American mind.
In view of the circumstances, Blanco
has shown himself to be quite as small
gand malicious as the other dons who
have recently exhibited just such evil
sdences OF their hatred Of the government
of the United States and its representa-
lives. General Lee at once hauled down
the American flag from the consulate
and departed from Havana for his own
country. where ne will be received with
! demonstrations &C his courage and his
eminent services since he has been occu-
plying the responsible position in which
ne was placed.
{. Beyond this brutal and unwarranted
insult offered by the official representa-
tive of the Spanish nation no anti-Amer-
5!can demonstration was INDUCED in by.
athe ;Spaniards on the departure OF the
Americans from Havana on Saturday.
The incident shows, however. now little
should be expected from the Spanish
fpopulsce of Havana, when It receives
such an example of malice and lack of
diplomatic sense from the one to whom
It Is expected to look for better things.
