STOCKS RANGING HIGHER
Changers and metropolitan Railway
Shares Lead.
Gable Adyices Report American Sc
curities Strong Because of buy
ing Orders From This Side.

New York, March 2s-The stock
market opened strong and high
er. The advances ranged from frac-
tional to two points higher than Satur-
days close.
Expectations Of unusual activity and
excitement in the market brought brok-
ers and spectators early today to the
scene of action. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the transmission TO Congress
of the reoprt of the Board Of Inquiry
upon the loss Of the Maine and the pub
LEGATION of the report would mark an i'm
portant forward step in the settlement
of the Cuban question, and that it might
indeed. bring that long standing ques-
ton to a crisis.
The early cable advices showed the
London market on American stocks ir-
regularly changed. as compared with
the local closing figures Of saturday,
Spanish 4 per cents were higher, which
was a reflection of the Liberal victory
at the elections yesterday, which con-
tinues the Sagasta ministry in powerJ
The cable advices said that the strength
OF American stocks in London was large
ly due to buying orders from this side
and the other divisions OF the market
there were heavy. The trading at the
opening Of the local market was very
animated.
The active features were the grangers
shares Manhattan. Louisville and Nash
vile and Union Pacific, preferred. The
most pronounced rise was in Metropoli-
tan Street Railway which advanced 6
points in the first few minutes of bust
ness.
The pace set at the opening Of business
was too lively TO continue, and the extent
of the advances tempted realizing sales,
under which a general reaction occurred.
On this recession Metropolitan Street
Railway declined over points. and lesser
losses were common. Trading was less
active on the decline.

GOAT EATS CASH.
IL Destroys One Thousand Dollars
I'm CURRENCY.

Drumville, Quebec, Mar 2S.-Tele-
mond Labargeaux. a farmer living
eight miles out of this town, has post
pOned his departure for the Klondike
entirely owing to the misdemeanors Of
a male goat known in that neighbour
hood as "Boulanger.
For several months Labargeaux has
been smitten with the gold fever. and
only recently, being a middle-aged wild
over, he negotiated the sale Of his
farm for $1,000. in order to grubstake
himself and his only son, Onesime.
The LabargeauXs are large, powerful
men, devoid Of fear for anything ex-
cept savings banks and the parish
priest. Accordingly they demanded
payment in cash, and took the money
home.
Arriving there. they placed ten 800
notes on the kitchen table with a stove
lid to hold them down. Just then the
horse took fright at two cats who had
started to fight on the adjacent fence
and ran away. Mr.. Labarageaux gave
chase, leaving the door open.
This was BOulangers opportunity.
From an ash heap. on which he had
been browsing, he strolled into the
kitchen and, after upsetting the SOUP
pot and doing other sundry things,
he proceeded to lunch leisurely on the
proceeds of the sale.
''Sacre dieu!" Nom du pipei" Mile
tonners!' "Godam" screamed the La
baTgeauxs.
Five minutes later Boulanger was
dead and turned inside out, while faith
er and son were exploring his vitals in
search of the masticated notes.
Having sifted them out as fast as pos
sible, they drove back and placed the
debris in the hands of a lawyer, who
will make an effort to recover the value
of the from the government
The Labargeauxs will be allowed to
keep their house for a month longer.

ORDERLY ANTHONY.
Evidence of the Man who Reported
to Captain Sigsbec.


Private VIM. Anthony, of the Unit-d States
marine corps, whose GOODNESS at the time Of
the explosion in reporting to Capt. Sigsbee,
has become the theme of admiration through
out the world was the next witness
He testified that he had the first watch from
to IL o'clock on the night of the explosion.
There was drill that day and it was not
necessary to open the magazines. In response
to the questions Private Anthony told his
story.
81 was standing on the main deck just
outside the door on the starboard side. 1
first noticed a trembling and buckling Of
the decks and then this prolonged roar-not
a short report but prolonged roar. The
awnings were spread and where the wing
awning and the quarter deck awning should
join there space Of at least Is inches.
I looked out and saw immense sheet OF
flame and then l started in to warn the
captain
did you notice any precepttble list to the
ship at the first shock?"
that is the quarter deck where 1 was stand
ing-dipped forward and to port. 1t aD-
parently broke in the middle, and surged
forward and then went over to port"
Witness said the upshot Of flame he saw
was well forward. 1t must have been for
debris going up with it. do not know whit
it was but saw fire brands going up
Was it on the port or starboard side?"
1t looked more to port than it did to
starboard. 1t loked like it covered the
whole ship. 1t was an immense glare that
ment as much as 1 could see for the avn
fngS.'
"Did you see any water with it?"
81 did not notice that, sir. l started for
the cabin at once"
This ended the marines testimony.
