Local Members Of Royal Ar

Plan Of Assessment.
INSURANCE MAS TOO CHEAP
Claim That the Improved
Scheme Will Perpetuate
the Order.

Members of the Royal Arcanum who
have been interviewed on the subject seem
perfectly satisfied with the new plan Of
assessments adopted by the Supreme
Council at Cleveland last week. The new
plan, which goes into effect on August /,
was decided upon after four days and
four nights of serious elaboration by the
heads of the Order. The rate charged
will be equivalent to twenty-one assess
ments a year. That is an increase Of four
assessments a year, as there has never
been more than seventeen assessments
levied in one year. The total cost of the
twenty-one assessments will be divided
into twelve parts, which will be payable
monthly. The monthly rates for $4,000
under the new plan will be as follows

The MARKET ACTIVE
Business Accumulated From Satur-

Heavy Realizing in the Afternoon,
However--TLe Street Hears
From Washington

New York, Jan. 31.-The dealings in
the stock market today were character
lied by activity in both the stock and
bond departments of the market At
the opening of business an accumula-
ton OF buying orders resulted in sharp
general advances and a number of
STOCKS which have heretofore been DOR
mant developed some activity. A good
eHect was exercised by the career of
theSenate silver resolution in theHouse
OF representatives, where the pre-
liminary voting foreshadowed the de-
ieat OF the measure, and the failure Of
the supreme Court to render decision
III theNebraska maximum rate case had
little effect today. Although foreign
houses and large orders in this market
the dealings on balance for that ac-
count We're. comparatively light. The
London market was, however report
ed strong.
In the extension of speculative inter-
est to-day the shares of the companies
South OF the Potomac became conspicu-
Gus. Louisville and Nashville was the
feature, but Chesapeake and Ohio and
southern Railway preferred We're also
actively dealt in. Except in the in
stance Of Louisville and Nashville,
where a refmding operation is expect
eu TO De announced soon, there We're no
specific explanations of activity in
these stocks. Along with the move in
Chesapeake and Ohio there were extern
siVe dealings in Cleveland Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, and the street
assumed the simultaneous activity in
these stocks to mean that some closer
alliance between the companies was
contemplated. The higher-priced Van
derbilt shares showed heavy realizing
sales, under which they held fairly
steady. Chicago and Northwestern,
which may properly be identified with
the Vanderbilt property. was very
strong, reaching the highest prices
scored since the elimination of the ad-
vance last summer
The other granger shares were also
strong and active, and Union Pacific
and the Northern Pacific shares had
similar tendencies.
In the industrial division. American
Tobacco and United States Leather ad-
ranced Sugar Refining was compare
lively neglected.
The closing hour showed the effect
of the heavy realizing sales, and prices
had very little net advance.

The vote in the House yesterday on
the Teller resolution drew the line
sharply between Republicans and DEM

vote. Prices in general fiuctuated
around the opening, showing no par
ticular tendency.
The other matter talked Of on the
street yesterday was the failure Of the
supreme court to act on the Nebraska
freight rate case. The adjournment of
the court postpones the opinion for
several weeks. Undoubtedly the street
has not given this matter a greater i'm
portancc than it deserves. That de-
cision was not reached In the case long
ago and in favor of the railroads, when
the evidence those big corporations
brought forward was so voluminous

be considered matter of moment and
