NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Bradstreet's financial
review will say tomorrow:
Speculation has again been irregular for
the week just ended, and professional in
huences were apparent to all, in contrast
with the recent activity of the outside pub
lie. The rise in the money market has Great
ed caution, although the feeling Is that gold
imports, or action by the government to
checp its accumulation of unds, will pre-
vent any stringency The sharp decline of
sterling exchange Is in line with this view
as regards gold imports and engagements
of specie for American account have been
announced in London to the amount Of less
than 81 100000 This is considered the gin
ming OF what may prove heavy movement
of gold in this direction.
There was an absence of any unfavorable
developments in the general situation, apart
from the usual reports that corn has been
damaged, while business progress and in
creasing railroad earnings were among the
good factors of the week.

Portland, Or, March 7.-Followina
is an extract from a letter dated Febru.
ary 81, from Rev. w. w. Warne, a!
Haines mission, Chilkat, Alaska, re.
ceived by William Wadhams yesterday:
"Winter set in four or five days ago
and now we are experiencing all the
rigors of an Alaska winter. The suf-
fering of some Of the newcomers is ter
rible. The Perry Humbert expedition,
stationed here, is going to lose 1870 head
OF horses and oxen in a day or two
more if they cannot get feed. I have
loaned them all had; now we are all
out, except few sacks of grain 1 kept
for myself.
There is not a bale of hay to be had
in the country, and all of the grain is
gone. Mr.. Smith is now feeding l 900
sacks of -four to try and tide over the
storm. They have a little rice they
will feed next. They cannot keep the
poor animals either tied or blanketed,
as they chew everything up.
= There have been several cases Of
freezing before this on the passes, and
l expect when the storm is over and
sino oiopsos toI peopie W get OuG anu
back, there will be good many dead
bodies brought in. So far as 1 have
learned, no bodies have been recovered
yet from the ill-fated Clara Nevada.
Winter is a terrible thing up here. I
don't see what possesses people to
come. My heart aches for their fool
ishness. They should at least wait
until spring, when the trails. are open
and the weather not so severe.''

ON A BIG CONTRACT.
Cramps Reported to Be Figuring With
Foreign Naval Power.

Cramps Reported to Be Figuring With
Foreign Naval Power.
Philadelphia, March 9.-The North
American Review prints the following
While the attention of the public dur
ing the recent war scare has been for a
time diverted from the Cramp shipyard
to League island, yet it is safe to assert
that the Kensington firm Of shipbuild-
ers is at this moment on the eve of Sc
curing foreign contract of sensational
proportions. Although the members of
the firm MAINTAIN the utmost secrecy
on the subject, it is fact that during
the week just passed force of draughts-
men has been working ON plans and es-
Inmates almost continuously.
These plans and estimates, it is said,
are being drawn up for the considera-
tion of foreign power, and include a
first-class shipyard, such as is operated
by the Cramps. besides several battle
ships and cruisers. Although the name
of the foreign power is being kept a
secret, it is generally understood by
those in position to- know that the
plans and estimates will eventually
find their way to Russia.

FIFTY MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE,
Measure Prepared by Representative
Cannon With Presidents Approval.

cannon With Presidents Approval.
Washington, March 9.-Chairman
Cannon of the appropriations commit
tee, today introduced measure in the
house entitled "Making appropriations
for the national defense.' 1t is as fol
lows:
Resolved, That there is hereby ap-
propriated out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated for
the national defense, and for each and
every purpose connected Herewith, to
be expended at the discretion of the
president, and to remain available
until June 80, 1899, $4,000, OOO."
1t was referred to the committee on
appropriations.
The Cannon bill, it was learned
later, was the outcome of conference
held at the White House this morning
at which Cannon, Secretary Long,
Dingley, Allison and Grosvenor were
present. The situation was considered
SO grave it was thought imperative that
an immediate appropriation of this
character should be made at once to
prepare for the national defense. After
the conference Cannon went to the cap
itol and called special meeting of the
appropriations committee. After this
meeting, Cannon introduced the ma
tional defense bill in the house. The
appropriations committee will meet to-
morrow.

MAXIMUM RATE CASE.
The Nebraska State Law Is Declared
Invalid.

The Nebraska State Law Is Declared
Invalid.
Washington, March 9.-Justice Har-
Ian today delivered an opinion in the
Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
He held the Nebraska law to be con-
trary to the 14tf amendment, in that it
authorized the taking of property with
out the process of law and was there
fore invalid. Hence the railroad won.
Justice Harlan's opinion affirmed the
opinion of the circuit court of appeals
of the eighth circuit, which was against
the maximum freight rates law favora-
BILE to the railroads
This case was instituted to test the
validity of the law passed by the Ne.
braska legislature in 1898, prescribing
the maximum rates for transportation
Of freights by railroads within the
state. The decision sustains the con-
tention of the railroad companies and
holds against the validity of the law.
The opinion was based largely upon
the charge of unreasonableness. JUS
tice Brewer made computation show
ing that the reduction effected in the
freight rates amounted on an average
to 29R per cent, which he held was
too great change.
The case has been twice argued in
the supreme court, Hon. w. ]. Bryan
appearing as one of the counsel for the
state at the last hearing.

CABINET is ANXIOUS.
Wants to Know When the Report May
Be Expected.


Washington, March Tt was de-
veloped this afternoon, through tele-
graphic correspondence between Secre-
tayr Long and Admiral Sicard, that the
court of inquiry is unable to fix even
an approximate date for the conclusion
of its investigation into the disaster to
the Maine. Sharing in the general
anxiety for information, Secretary Long
today, at the instance of the cabinet,
| telegraph Admiral Sicard asking
when it was probable that the report of
the court would be made, and late to-
night the following was received:
Secretary of the Navy have
talked with the president of the court
of inquiry and agree with him that it
is not yet possible to fix date for the
finding, as SO much depends upon the
progress of the divers and wreckers,
and the results they obtain. Every
effort is being made to advance the in
quiry. The court intends to return to
Havana this evening, having finished
the investigation at Key West.
SICARD."
Admiral Sicard's message is regard
ed as disposing of the reports that the
court has obtained positive or conclu-
sive information bearing on the subject
of its investigation. 1t is taken to
mean that upon the testimony or dis
coveries of the divers will depend the
finding, the examination of the officers
and crew having been insufficient to
enable the court to even form an idea
AS to what lines may be opened up from
the investigation of the wreck ITSELF
While the telegram was naturally
somewhat of a disappointment, in leav-
ing the termination of the inquiry as
much in doubt as ever, it was well
coined as practically setting at rest the
