The stock market again professional

price fluctuations narrow. Fear on the part OF
traders of another furry in money rates helped
TO repress speculative ACTIVITY in the morning,
while the expectation of a poor bank statement
to-day served to check afternoon rally be-
. fore It reached respectable proportions The
banks have lost heavily on Sub-Treasury opera
tions this week. and receipts from the interior
have not been large, that a considerable loss
IN cash holdings will not be surprising. Bank
statements however. cannot be counted upon

movement of money. for the system Of averag-
ing employed in compiling the statement. and
the unknown factors at work in the market often
are effective in making the weekly exhibit alto
, gether different from that generally expected.
Whatever the showing may be there is no oc-
cason for uneasiness over the money market,
as the tendency of rates is Enthusiastically toward
greater ease The stock market is going
through a course Of backing and filing in
rreparation for some decided movement, and II
this movement is TO be based upon monetary

MUST AVOID FUSION
ADDRESS TO MIDDLETON THE
ROAD POPULISTS.
BARKER AND DONNELLY Hi
National Organization Committee Re-
fuses After Bitter Fight to Recon-
mend Endorsement of Party Candi-
dates for President and Vice Presi
dent-Butlers Hands Tied.

Kansas City, May 18.-An address to
the populists of the country was is
sued last night by the national organi-
zation committee of the Peoples party
with the endorsement of the National
Reform Press association. These two
bodies, whose common object is TO
keep the populist party in the middle
Of the road, avoiding fusion with other
political parties everywhere, had been
in session here since Tuesday, and the
adoption of the address concluded
their labors. All were not in har
mony among these middle-of-the-rOad
leaders and only after long and heated
discussions was the address agreed up
on. A hard fight was made to secure
an Endorsement Of Wharton Barker
and Ignatius Donnelly for president
and vice president in 1900, but this the
committee refused to recommend. In
stead a thorough organization of the
e-of-the-roaders in every section
of the country is urged, with the under
standing that they shall enter the next
national campaign with the present
populist organization, but that where
ever fusion shall gain the day, whether
in county, state or national convention,
the middle-of-the-roader shall bolt
and begin an active campaign to carry
out their principles. The alleged flu
sion tendencies Of Marion Butler,
chairman of the populist national COM
mittee, are provided against in clause
which authorizes the national organi-
zation committee to call a national
convention when it shall be convinced
that the national chairman or national
committee is playing into the hands Of
the fusiOnists.

New York, May 18.-At yesterdays
session of the Mazet investigating COM
mittee James A. Mahoney, with whom
Mayor Van Wyck admitted that he had
business transactions, was one OF the
witnesses and was put through a long
series of questions with reference to his
alleged connection with pool rooms in
the city. Very little was gotten out of
him. Former Police Commissioners
Hamilton, whom the mayor designated
as "blackmailer" was on the stand
and declared what the mayor said was
absolutely false. Several witnesses
who have been doing detective work
for Counsel Moss testified thet large
number of pool-rooms were running in
the city at the present time, and that
plice interference was not thought of.

clared that of all those who left the

triotism than the descendants of the

SO GENERAL HENRY CALI
PORTO RICO.
GOOD PLACE FOR CAPITAL
Big Returns on Investments Can Be
Secured-5O Per Cent of Sugar Cane
Lost in Grinding 900 Natives
Working on Public improvement
No Ill-Will Felt.

New York, May 18.-Gen. Henry, I'M
til recently military governor of Porto
Rico and who arrived on the transport
Mcpherson from San Juan, will leave
for Washington Monday. Gen. Henry
is enthusiastic about Porto Rico, it's
people and it's possibilities. cit is a
wonderful country he said, ''but we
will have to go slow in bringing about
reforms. The capital invested will
bring large returns. More than so per
cent. of the value Of sugar cane is lost
in the process of grinding. The chill
dren are thirsting for knowledge, and
the great need is good schools. Gen.
Eaton is doing fine work in this re-
spect. There is an English teacher in
each of the ten districts, and English
is taught in all schools in San Juan.
The general conditions are very en-
couraging. Over $4,000 men are at
work on public improvements, and we
are spending over 100000 per month
in this way. This is more money than
the men received from Spain in all
their lives. The Porto Ricans are anX-
.ious for territorial form of govern
ment, but the question is
how are they going to get
money if the customs duties
are wiped out. With the exception of
a few disgruntled politicians, the ISL
and is free from all ill-will toward The
United States. Of course there is talk
ahO11t an uDrising but there is really
no danger Of such a thing happening"
In concluding Gen. Henry said: "Por-
to Rico is the place for the capitalist
rather than for the poor man. At
present there are thousands of the poor
class without employment. When l
left there were $4,000 laborers en-
ployed OH the roads at 80 cents a day,
American money, under my direction.
The average wages for unskilled labor
on the plantations is SO cents a day,
American money"
