 Oakland is in arms to-day and the excitement is as great as though war were declared against Spain. The out rage perpetrated last night by the solid six members of the City Council in passing Henneberry's infamous water schedule has aroused public opinion as it has not been aroused since the water front riots of five years ago.
 The sentiment of the great national holiday is Overburdened by the con- demnation of the treachery practiced last night. Nothing better was ex- pected of four of the six, but from Major Woodward, G. A. R.. and Councilman Brosnahan something diff

AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.
Patriotic Reunion Where the Meas
 ure Is Denounced.

OAKLAND, Feb. 22.-The joint meeting of the Army and Navy Republican League and the Anti-Civil Service Repub- lican League was largely attended to- night and a great deal of enthusiasm manifested. Judge Fred Adams presided w. H. Schooler was the first speaker and declared in forcible language that the Republican party did not stand for civil service. In referring to local politics he said: ''The trouble with the Republicans of Alameda County they fight among themselves. Stand together as the Demo- crats do and compel every man you elect to put a Republican in office under him. !"
 Alfred Wilkie was heartily applauded for his rendering of "The Sword of Bun- ker Hfll." He was followed by the Temple Quartet, Samuel Shortridge afterward making a stirring address. Miss Mary A. Morse sang Star Spangled Banner" after which resolutions condemning the civil service rules and calling upon the Senator and the Representative in Con- gress from this district to vote accord lngly;' expressing sorrow for the loss of for the relatives of the lost, and indorsing George H. Hoguet for the position Of Pension Commissioner were passed.

NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. THE days stock
market undoubtedly reflected the con-
viction of operators in securities that,
with election uncertainties out of the
way the strong conditions of the coun-
try's industries and business will have
their effects on the stock market and
prices will advance.
This conviction, so far as ii found
reflection in the market. was almost
purely professional one for the out
side interests in stocks as shown by or
ders through commission houses was
very small, The professional elements
showed no disposition to take profits
pending the holiday although there has
been sufficient rise in the last two days
to turn the balance of operations to
that side in any closing up of specu-
lative accounts. The evidence was
rather on the side ofcovering OF shorts.
The trading proceeded in very
desultory manner during the early
hours of the day, although the selling
for foreign accounts, which was fairly
liberal. was well absorbed and prices
of the international stocks firmly sus-
tanned. Notable movements were an
advance of points in American Ex-
press and of 5la points in Pullman.
Northwest gained nearly points and
Lackawanna points. There were
dealings in odd lots of quite a number
of high grade stocks.

Willingness among big and little shorts

Tho Loss Of tie Maria leres !.

For the second time the Spanish
cruiser, Maria Teresa, has sunk, and
this time she will stay below the surface.
The hundreds of fathoms that are now
over her decks are too much for even
the energy and enthusiasm of Hobson.
1t was with sincere regret that the
country learned of the disaster that
had befallen the former flagship of
Admiral Cervera. Everybody rejoiced
when she was raised from the rocks
near Santiago where she had been
driven, a flaming wreck, by American
shot and shell in the battle of July 3.
The prospect of adding this splendid
cruiser to our navy and keeping afioat
such a trophy Of our great naval VIC
tory fired the popular heart. She was
floated, and such repairs were made as
were possible from the repair ship
Vulcan. Had not the great storm
towed North in safety. and permanent
repairs made in dry dock that would
have rendered her as good as new.
The disaster was something that no
human foresight could guard against.
In it's condition the cruiser could not
stand the huge seas raised by the
storm and her laundering was un-
avoidable. Every possible effort was
made to save her. 1t is most fortunate
that the disaster was not attended by
loss of life. 1t was brilliant achieve
ment of seamanship to rescue the 141
men on board, against the odds of a
November tempest, and it will stand
as another grand example of the skill
and discipline of our naval service. Ii
is in the nature of a national calamity
that the Maria Teresa has gone to the
bottom, and the nation fully sympa-
thizes with Lieutenant Hobson in the
bitter sorrow he felt when he heard the
news. The disaster. however, in no
way detracts from the merit of his per-
formance in floating her. 1t is to be
hoped this will not prevent the con-
tinuance of energetic efforts to save
others of the sunken fleet, if it is 4
possibility within human power.
