- During the same day that the navy
department announced that it would give
out no more news with reference to the
of ships, etc., one of the Of
ficials stated to the Associated Press and
the special correspondents at Washing
ton, that Sampson had left Cape Haytien
for Cienfuegos. The Independents pa
pers, of course, printed the story; but 1t
was with the suggestion that their readers
would have to draw their own conclu-
sions. The statement published else
where with reference to the Oregon will
have to be accepted in the same manner,
at least until the whereabouts of the ship
is reported by some special correspon-
dent. There is abundant reason to be-
lieve that Spanish consuls will keep
their government advised of the where
abouts of this vessel, and the American
can see no reason why
they should not tell their readers also.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 2O.-Hope
Bryson, of Glover, won the one-third
of a mile boys race here yesterday
afternoon in A seconds. About all
the crack boy riders in North and
South Carolina were among the en-
tries. Bryson won easily leading his
closest competitor over the tape by
full 80 feet. In conversation with
his friends after the races Hope talked
as though his achievement was nothing
to be especially proud of. "Why,"
he remarked, with much seriousness.
"those boys are not in my class"

LOCAC, WHEEIiMEN.

That 4 series of races between local
wheelmen will prove interesting there IS
no reason to doubt. Just what there is in
the local riders nobody knows exactly,
and this fact alone will add zest to the first
meet.
Without any personal knowledge on
the subject himselfr the reporter has taken
occasion to talk to a number OF the most
observing young riders with view to
getting a concensus Of opinion as to the
merits of the different riders. 1t is un-
derstood, of course, that the classification
here is mere guesswork; but here is the
list as indicated by the opinions express
ed.
Of the young men class, there is differ
ence as to whether Walker Latimer or
Bob Alexander is entitled to the first
place. Geo. w. Williams and j. A. Tate
came next and are thought to be pretty
evenly matched.
There are a large number Of fast riders
among the small boys, and each OF the
small hoys has bis own idea AS to which
is the fastest. Jefi'erys Ashe and Jack
Gardner are probably the two fastest.
Then follow John Jenkins, Tcharner De
Gratfenried, Lindsay Hunter, Felix Wal
ker. Lee Hart, Paul Moore, Joe Walker,
Raymond McClain, Marion Grimes.
In the list young Grimes was given by
two of the boys as last; but If that IS MS
proper place, some of the other riders are
capable of making time that will break
some records, for Grimes has already
done a quarter of a mile in about 40 Sec
onds. However, as yet the whole matter
is mere speculation. The boys cannot be
properly graded until they have run at
least one Series of competition races.

- From the beginning of the blockade
up to last Monday night, no lights were
displayed in Moro Castle, at the entrance
of Havana harbor. A bright red light
was burning Monday night, and it has
been burning every night since. The cir

tions. One is that Blanco is expecting the
arrival of Cervera's fleet at any time, and
the other is that he merely wants the
Americans to think that he is expecting

Excitement.
The speech of Senator McLaurin,.
of South Carolina, was the feature
of Thursdays debate on the war
revenue bill. The money sharks are
trying to force a large but unnec-
essary bond issue. They are more
concerned about that than they are
even about the taking of Cuba.
With characteristic cold-blooded cal
culation they realize that the Amer
ican people are apt to allow the war
anxiety to overshadow selfish aims,
and under the pretense of public safe
ty, it is a good time to line pockets
with private profits. But the follow
ing synopsis of his remarks as report
ed by the Associated Press, shows that
Senator McLaurin not only under
stands the situation, but has the man
hood to sound the alarm /:
Mr.. McLaurin democrat, S. C9,

ready, be said, to vote for any measure
that would tend to bring the war to a
successful conclusion. People on the
island of Cuba are dying every hour.

declared. Liberty on the island is at
stake and the war has placed our ma
tional prestige ut stake.
Concerning the proposed issue Of
bonds, he said that there was an intn-
ence at work in this country more
powerful than the president, more po-
tent than congress. 1t was the silent,
secret influence of the money power
which was endeavoring to force an
issue of bonds. Once the senate, the
forum of the people, yields to this
clamor, MIR. McLaurin declared, and
becomes entangled in the meshes OF
the money octopus, the people will
suffer indeed. "There is an army in
this country" said he, "just as anx-
ious to raid the United States treasu-
ry as our volunteers are to raid the
island of Cuba. TO the army | refer
to no volunteers are needed. These
jobbers and spectators form a greater
menace to us than the war with SPAIN"
Mr.. McLaurin defended the bill as
reported by the majority of the finance
committee, and hoped that, with the
possible exception of the stamp tax,
which he deemed unnecessary, the bill
would pass as reported.
He strongly urged the adoption of
the proposition to issue legal tender
notes. at is the dealers in futures"
declared Mr.. McLaurin, "the financial

At the conclusion of Mr.. McLaurin's
speech, the clerk proceeded with the
reading of the bill.

Up to the past few days the war board
has been trying to conduct even all the
details of SIMPSONS naval operations
from Washington. Sampson and the
other commanders had to wait for orders
before making any kind Of a move. AS
the result the Spaniards have been able
to do a great many things which they
would not have otherwise been able TO
do. For instance, they have materially

portant ports. They could have been
easily prevented from doing anything. OF

see some of its mistakes, and now it is
said that all instructions to Sampson
carry with them wide range for dis
cretion.

THE STOCK MARKET.
The Animation of Early In the Week
Was Not Evident Yesterday.


New York, Oct 14.-Most of the anima- |
tion that marked the trading in stocks |
earlier in the week disappeared today. |
There were no developments in the out |
side situation to which the changed tone |
of the market could be ascribed, and its |
hesitating tendency was chiefly refiec- |
tIon of the reduction in the general short |
interest In the market. The weeks re- |
covery In prices was almost wholly the |
result of professional ventures on the
long side of the account. and at the be-
ginni.g of the week these purchases were
founded upon the absence of liquidation
and moderate short account. Very little
outside interest has been excited by the
advance in prices and the usual weekend
movement for the realization of profits
was met by very restricted demand.
Hence, after a brief period of local trad
ing at the opening of business, the general
market became almost stagnant, and in
the railway list prices were commonly
quoted at slight recessions. As noted,
the underlying situation was unaltered in
any essential respects, and, indeed, the
trading on the stock exchange was unat-
tended even by much gossip of a political
or other nature. Sugar Refining and
American Tobacco furnished the bulk of
thesdealngs in the market Both stocks
were feverish but the first-named showed
sn its movements the existence of rather
nervous short interest. A rapid advance
in Sugar Refining at midday was accom-
panied by reports of advance in selling
prices but these met with prompt denials
in lower Wall Street and the reports OF
conferences" between the warning inter-
ests in the trade also received slight ere
dence. The subsequent course OF the
stock suggested that its movements, In
the main were like those elsewhere in the
market the result of contest between
opposing speculative factions. both of
which were willing to realize quick ana
moderate profits.
The wide movement in American To-
bacco seemed TO be equally void OF any
Significance as regards the actual affairs
of the company
The railway list was without especial
feature other than pronounced reaction
in Northern Pacific common. Manhattan
also reacted sharply after mornings ad-
vance but elsewhere the price changes
were limited and generally fractional
There were no specific developments bear
ing upon the railway list aside from the
exceedingly heavy domestic and foreign
grain movement. The dealings were rela-
lively large in the grangers and Pacihc

= The stock market was dull and heavy
yesterday and the gains of Thursday were
all lost before the day was over. London
sold 10000 shares of stocks, largely the
Pacifics, and seemed disposed to regard
the advance of the Americans on Thurs
day as a matter of no Importance or sig
nificance. And indeed this 1t seems to
have been. There was some hope ex-
pressed by the bulls yesterday morning
that the advance had begun in earnest.
but the day proved that there had sim
ply been a slight reaction on covering.
The market is entirely professional, the
amount of real buying and selling being
insignificant. The street has settled back
again into the belief that there will be
no good business until after election, and
perhaps not even then.
