7777777-77'7'7-'7''-- The Stock NEnrlknf.

New York, July 8.-To- days stock market must be described as dull one, though the volume of transactions somewhat exceeded those of yesterday There was still no marked evidence of outside interest and the list was by no means broad one, though many re- gently inactive stocks were brought forward into the active list. There was, however, 8 steady and quiet ab- sorption of the standard railroad stocks without ostentatious effort to advance prices. The Vanderbilts were consnic- uous, as was the case yesterday and the buying especially of New York Central, was large and confident Penn sylvania also advanced sharply and the buying was rather more conspicu- ous than is usual for this stock in the New York market. The coalers were an exception to the strength from the first not only on the general depression known to exist in the anthracite trade, but also on repofts of deep cuts in the selling price of coal and of prospects of conflict of rates. In the final hour the bears raided the coalers with the purpose of unsettling the general ad- vancing tendency. Prices in this group crumbled away without much resist ance, Reading first preferred losing over points, New Jersey Central points and Delaware and Hudson 2. This break had little effect In the gen. eral list, scarcely any stock losing over 1-2 and part of this was recovered before the close, which was remarkably firm i'll face of the slump in the coalers. Much was heard in Wall street of the prospects of eat'ly peace and even more was made of this by London specula- tors. There was quite an urgent de- mand here for London account, which had no small part in advancing prices. Confidence is growing tbat the country will show a large yield of wheat and to-day's estimates of smaller stocks in store in Europe than last year, a de- cTedSe III llle tothi suppneS Tn all posi- tions compared with month ago, and only slight increase over year ago, gave assurance that the world would need our supply. The New York banks have been losing money to the sub-treasury this week on account of bond subscriptions and interior banks have been drawing on New York banks also to provide funds for bond sub scriptions. New York exchange in Chicago went to ten cents discount to- day. As result there Is slightly more tone to the local money market and loans in some cases are made at higher rates, but money still continues easy

According to reports brought by ref
ugees from CienfuegOs, who came TO
New York yesterday by the Norwegian
steamer, Condor, there are two hun
dred Amerca still in that town
without means or opportunity for
leaving it. 1t seems that Consul owen
McGarr failed to notify some of his
people at ali, and these he did warn,
he gave no time for preparation, so
that they We're unable to make the
steamer upon which he escaped.
Unless something can be done for the
rescue of these unfortunate citizens at
once there is not much doubt that
they will be massacred We do not
know what the possibility of relieving
them may be, but certainly it is a mat
ter which ought to have earnest atten-
ton at the White House.
Incidentally, the conduct of this con-
sui, McGarr. should be a subject of in
vestigation, somewhere. If what has
been said about him is true. he Should
be severely punished by the law If it
can reach him.

AN OFF DAY IN THE HOUSE.
The Labor Arbitration Bill Passed
without Amendment.

It was another off day at the south
end of the Capitol yesterday. Numerous
bills, carrying pensions, private claims.
etc. were passed by unanimous consent.
The conference report on the bill to
authorize the Glen Echo Railroad to ex-
tend it's line into the District of Columbia
was agreed to. The conference report
on the bill to extend the homestead laws
TO Alaska was also agreed to.
Gen. Grosyenor called up the bill pro-
viding a system or arbitration for the
settlement Of controversies between COM
mon carriers and their employees.
The bill provides that whenever con-
troversy concerning wages, hours of labor
or conditions of employment shall arise
between a common carrier and the en-
ployes, the chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Commis-
sioner of Labor shall, upon the request
of either party, arrange for arbitration.
After some debate. in the course of
which Gen. GrosVenor stated that all the
labor organizations of railroad empiOyes
favored the passage of the bill, 1t was
passed without amendment.
MIR. Cummings of New York declared
that the bill ought to be SO amended
as TO include the Government. He said
that. at some OF the navy yards, work
men had been discharged because they
refused to accept a scale of wages be-
low that fixed by their respective labor
unions.

Such a state of affairs would be al

attempt to induce the other powers to
intervene for the restoration of AL

so. The chances are that Den Carlos
would be supported rather than his op-
ponents, the Alfonsists; while there are
indications that tine Republicans who
form the third important element of
internal discord, might favor his en-
thronment.
These matters are chiefly interesting
to us because the progress cf revolu-
tionary events in Spain viii tend to
shortening of the war. Without n
penny in the treasury. with a disaffect-
ed army. unpaid and unfed, a quick
and sharp campaign on our part ought
to bring hostilities to a close within a
few weeks 1t is notorious that the
Spanish forces now in Cuba are honey

Oid-fasbioned Ordnance Being
Mounted at Various Points

The Government is mounting a great
many old-fashioned smooth bore cast
iron pieces of ordnance. Many of them
have been converted into breechloaders.
but stlll many of them are ancient muz-
zle-loaders.
The only utility Of these old guns is in
protecting mine, and aiding in the pro-
lection OF mine fields. and even in this
work. a Colt. Maxim. and Hotchkiss gun
would be more valuable than a battery
Of the Old-timers. The main considera-
tion in mounting them. though, is be-
cause of their moral effect on the people
they are alleged to protect They have
"A quieting effect" said an officer in the
Ordnance Bureau today.
The Secretary of War has been deluged
with appeals from the coast towns for
protection. Each little town on the coast
appears to fear that the hatred of Spain
feels that ii is more exposed to attack
than any other town. Hence the calls
for fortifications and armament II is
to meet these calls as much as possible
that all the historic guns have been pol
iShed up and mounted.
