Special Dispatch 20 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 21-The opening
level for the more active speculative issues
reflected material declines by comparison
with the final figures of last week and sub
seauent trading was of the nervous order
usually fncidtnt to times of suspense. The
declines in the general list at noon extended
10 . per cent in some instances and to more
than l per cent in most Tomorrow's holi-
Jay ana the fear that the worst suspicious
relative to the Maine disaster ought be
confirmed during this closed period resulted
In general tightening Of speculative risks.
On all sides selling orders were plentiful.
and the discrepancy between previous
prices clearly reflected the absence of de-
mand.
There was no especially adverse news
from any source. Washington advices, on
the whole. being regarded as moderately
satisfactory The failure to get a decision
in the long-delayed Nebraska maximum
freight rate case was a disappointment to
some who had bought Burlington literally
on the prospect that the recent recess
would certainly result In the completion OF
the anxiously awaited opinion
The entire Granger group was weak, in
sympathy with the decline in this property.
Metropolitan Traction and Manhattan
were especially weak, the usual support
being entirely withdrawn. Around the
noon hour there was some cautious buying
by brokers usually active for the Standard
Oil party, and this demand forced some
covering of short contracts. The supply of
stocks was ample at the advance. however,
and prices did not long hold at the i'm
proved level. Dizziness. however, followed
the extreme weakness of the morning and
the trading became slightly more rational.
American Sugar was again a source of
weakness owing to further efforts to force
general liquidation. The price was forced
down 311 per cent from Saturdays closing
and there was almost no resistance until
this level was reached. Some of the larger
owners of the stock refused to lend GER
tificates against short sales, and this &C.
ton forced the purchase of certificate
against previous sales. While occasional:
rallies were recorded: the surface indica-
tions are strongly in opposition to imme-
date. sustained Improvement
The best developments of the last week
have fallen into an unsympathetic situa-
tion ard the enthusiasm of the believers
in higher prices has been chilled be-
yond the hope of immediate recovery. We'd
nesday's market may give some clearer in
cicatioE of the financial tendency, but for
today confidence is badly divided between
the two accounts.

saw a number of deputies there whom he
knew.
The witness testified that he said to
Deputy Price This is a bad business.
Sam" Yes" replied Price, and L am
glad I did not shoot
On cross-examination the witness said he
was a school teacher. and when he heard
the strikers were coming he dismissed the
children so there would be no trouble. He
denied that Price had said to him, IT'S a
bad business, this shooting. but 1t could not
be prevented
Mike Damschak the last witness for the
commonwealth. testified that Mike Fort
chalk. whom the defense alleges was pulled
from his wagon by the strikers and forced
Lattimer, was employed by him previous
to the shooting, but not at the time it oc-
CURED.

wagon which he, Damschak. was driving at

FORAKER MUST TAKE SIDES.
Ohio Senator Will Be Forced Into Hanna
Contest,
Latter's Enemies Demand That senior
Senator Must Lead tho Fight
In the Senate.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. February 21.-A re-
port reaches here today that Senator For
aker has come to the parting Of the ways
in Ohio; that he must either declare him
self for or against Senator Hanna. He has
been asked to lead the fight against Sena-
tor Hanna in the United States Senate,
and at this time the anti-Hanna people
are awaiting his answer. They say the
time for Foraker to declare himself has
come and that he must take one side OF
the other. They have laid the testimony
against Mr.. Hanna adduced by the Senate
bribery committee before Senator Foraker
and they want the latter to see that the
matter is properly taken up by the United
States Senate.
The opponents Of Mr. Hanna all over
Ohio are sending up a great cry for more
promptness in the bribery investigation.
They assert that partial report on the
Otis matter should have been filed two
weeks ago. They have urged that Senator
Burke hurry the matter up. and they have
brought great pressure on him to have
him do so. He has agreed to have the
committee report soon. Probably par
tial report will be filed the latter part OF
this week or fore part OF next week.
Burke and the committee feel now that
with the present great interest In the
Maine disaster would be no time to make
q report. When the report comes they
want it to appear in clear sky that II
may not lose force by conflict with other
matters Of great public interest.
Mayor McKisson's contest papers. which
are being held in allegiance until Foraker
gives his answer, are said to make some
very serious charges against Mr.. Hanna
and others, and to make them in no uncer-
