SWIFT DEALS IN STOCKS
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Advances
in Wall Street.
Sugar Refining Makes q Break In
Early Dealings, But Later on Re
Small Changes in the GranSers.
The Movements Among Traders.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The stock mar
ket opened active and with very uncer-
tain tone, there being rapid movements IN
both directions in particular stocks with
out any definite explanations attending
them. Following upon the initial deal
ings. the market developed somewhat
firmer tone on the appearance of general
buying by commission houses. There was
practically no news overnight and prob
ably the opening tone of uncertainty re-
flected in part the declines that appeare
in the London market. Americans were
shown there at fractional losses as COM
pared with the local closing prices, but
very little was done here for foreign ac-
count.
A conspicuous feature of the market was
Consolidated Gas, which advanced nearly
8 points in the early dealings, notwith-
standing yesterdays reduction made in the
dividend. Tennessee Coal and Iron was
also steady, while Sugar Refining broke
sharply in the early dealings, later on re-
covering part of its loss. Union Pacific,
preferred, was strong and active on the
expectations that dividends would be ad-
vanced to per cent next week, while the
common stock was rather heavy.
Other strong features of the market were
the anthracite coal stocks and a few Of the
specialties, including Colorado Midland
and Wisconsin Central. Very small
changes occurred in the granger stocks
and other standard issues. Brooklyn Rap
id Transit was the only active feature of
the local fractions and the stock advanced
RAPIDLY.

CAPTAIN TAYLOR IN COMMAND
Admiral Sampson Absent From the
North Atlantic Squadron

A telegram dated Newport was receive
at the Navy Department today from Capt.
H. G. Taylor. of the battleship Indiana,
about the movements of the North Allan
tic squadron, and the fact that it was sign
ed by Captain Taylor shows that he has
taken command of the squadron in place
of Admiral Sampson. The Navy Depart
ment was somewhat surprised to learn
that Captain Taylor had assumed com
mand and fear was expressed by officials
that Admiral Sampson was sick again.
No information as TO Admiral Sampson S
whereabouts has been received
The last official despatch from Admiral
Sampson came several days ago. In il
he said that the squadron would leave New
port for practice al sea on August "a. In
the telegram received today Captain Tay-
lor said the Texas had gone TO sea for
target practice, the Brooklyn and the In
diana had gone TO the Seconnet River,
near Newport, for sub-ealibre practice, and
The Massachusetts and the New York
would remain in Newport Harbor.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION
The State Department Has Received
No Advfces From Snnto Domingo.

The state Department Has Received
No Advices From SnntO Domingo.
No official report has yet been received
at the State Department from the Ameri-
can Consular officers in Santo Domingo on
the subject of the revolution in progress
there The United States Consul at Porto
Plata is Thomas Simpson, and the Vice
Consul at that city is Washington Lithgow-
The province of Monte Cristi, in which
the Jiminez forces are said to have won
several successes, is the northernmost
province in the republic, taking its name
from the mountain range which extends
southeasterly from Grange Point to Sa-
mona Bay Between this range and the
Sierra de Cibao is the Plain of Vega said
to be one of the richest agricultural re-
gi0ns of the world Monte Crisi Province
is a little south of the twentieth degree OF
north latitude and little west of the sew
enteenth parallel of west longitude.
The peaceful capture of the cities of San
Francisco de Macoris, Lorega, and Moca
would indicate that the prophecies vent
ured by Gen. Abeiardo A. Moscoso, dis
gruntled Jiminez supporter, were some
what unreliable, though it is the opinion
of some of the officials of the State De-
partment confidentially expressed, that the
charges made by Moscoso against General
Jiminez are about true. General MoscoSo
has said:
THE truth is that Jiminez, ruined as
merchant, seeks the presidency OF Santo
Domingo in order to rehabilitate his pri-
vate fortunes. What other Interpretation
can be put on the logic of events2 In 1895
affairs in the island were ripe for reyo-
luton. The government had got into Sc
rious difficulties with France. through the
Imprisonment of French officer. An in
demnity of million and a half of francs
was demanded. and the people were seeth-
ing with discomfort. France also was dis
gusted with the dilatory tactics OF the gov
eminent At this juncture General Mo-
rales. General Moya, General Luperas, and
myself went to Paris, where Jiminez was
then living, to induce him to head a revo-
luton. We obtained the sympathy and,
so far as il should be feasible, the aid of
the French government. All that was nee
essary to success was that Jiminez should
declare for the revolution and put up the
money-about half a million dollars.
"At that time Jiminez was at the ze-
NTH of his prosperity. He had twenty
three business houses in Santo Domingo,
the United States. and Europe He was
worth at least 100000 What was his
answer to those who asked him 10 free
his country? i have too much privat =
buSiness; / have too much money, too
many interests, at stake; ! cannot jeopar-
die them; ] pray you have me excused. "
General Moscoso has also said that
when President Heureaux withdrew the
concessions which he had extended to the
merchant prince. Jiminez was ruined.
1t is remarked al the State Department
that General Mescoso has considerable in
fiuence in Santo Domingo. and in view ol
the fact that he has threatened 10 fight
JimineZ TO finish, bloody complication
may follow.

Tbe Yerke, TeIe,cope

(From the New York Evening Post.)
The effect of changes of temperature
upon the position of the focus in the Yerkes
telescope has been very carefully examined,
and Prof. Barnard finds that for delicate
work, such as parallax Investigations, il is
necessary to make allowance for il espec-
tally with such a large lens and in so var
liable climate as that of cur northern
central States. Observations were carried
on, to determine the exact position of the
focus at temperatures ranging between
twenty degrees below and eighty de-
grees above zero Fahrenheit. and the mean
of all these showed that the obiect-glass
shortened 0.26 inch more than the steel
tube in which II is mounted. Applying this
correction, micrometric measures of the diff
ference in declination between the stars
Atlas and Pleione OF the pleiades group
showed a decrease of nearly 0.2 minutes
Investigations are also being carried on
with this lens to determine the changes in
the cclor-curve under temperature changes.

Officers in the Quartermaster's Depart
ment Of the Army are vexed at what they
declare to be the exaggerated accounts ap-
pearing in print of the controversy between
the captain and quartermaster of the
transport McClelland
This was a conflict Of authority between
Captain Brinkley, of the ship, and Cap
tain Girard, the quartermaster of the craft
in which the navigator was dismissed from
the service and the quartermaster sustain
ed by the court of enquiry held recently at
New York.
The nayigator's version OF the trouble
rs that while discharging his cargo at Gil
para, Cuba, his barometer indicated a
storm and he desired to take his ship into
the open sea for safety. The quartermas-
ter would not permit this and placed the
captain under arrest.
The other side is that Captain Brinkley
was intoxicated and used profane or abu-
sive language.
1t was said today at the Office OF the
Quartermaster General that the division
OF authority between navigating captains
and quartermasters in charge of ships is
so clear and well defined that no conflict
may Justly arise between them.
The navigating captain is supreme in
command when the ship is at sea. The
quartermaster is in command of the ship
in port. lie shall direct to which port
the ship must sail. He is responsible for
the conduct of the employees and the care
OF the supplies. 1t is said that the Nc
Clelland was at Gibara, The barometer
showed a small decline. The cargo was
being discharged and the captain came or
board under the influence of liquor. He
said: Il am going TO take this ship Il
Sea"
Words followed and it is charged that
the navigating captain abused the quar-
termaster, and employed profane epithets
The depot quarteTmaster at Gibara sus-
fained the ships quartermaster. The ships
captain was placed under arrest and sem
TO New York, where the finding of the
court was that he should be dismissed
from the service of the United States with
but prejudice to his ability as navigator.
The marine journals throughout the
country are condemning the Quartermas-
ter's department for seeking TO interfere
with a merchant captain wanting 10 Iui
TO sea when his glass indicates the ap-
broach of a storm. They hold that eau
lious captain should always do this wher
his ship il not in a land-locked harbor.

leased a strip of land near the main open-
Ing of the mine which happened to be
Dwned by widow who sympathized with

the mine entrance that the men do not

ployed by Superintendent Maher to take

disposition on the part of the banks
to show greater liberaiity in dealing with
the securities of the industrial concerns is
noticeable. The statement of these COM
panies are all showing big earnings and
fine prosperity, as they appear. and the
fear of collapses among them is much less
than it was few months ago. The banks
naturally discriminate against the concerns
that are known to have been capitalized in
an illegitimate way, but securities of the
solid company are considered very nearly
if not quite as good collateral as railway
stocks. There is no sign of a lessening of
business activity, but on the other hand all
reports point to contracts being made for
many months ahead at present high prices.
The disposition on the part of the eli
ques and of the public to take up TIE Low
priced securities Is more noticeable every
day. a glance at the advance in pr.ces
that have been made in the past two
weeks will show this conclusively. There
are likely to be profits much larger made
in these securities during the autumn
boom than in the standard securities, even
although careful market people do not
hesitate to express their belief that the
grangers and high priced issues will have
good advances. In the list of low priced
issues likely to show activity and buoy
ancy in the near future, may be mentioned
the Pacifcs. common and preferred, Atch
ison, preferred; the Southern issues, in
cluding the Mexican shares, Southern
Railway, preferred; the Norfolk and
Western shares, Chesapeake and Ohio,
Big Four, and Baltimore and Ohio issues.
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, preferred,
was one of this group to show much ac-
tivity and strength this morning the price
advancing more than point. A clique
representing influential interests is behind
the stock, it is said, and predictions are
most rosy.
Union Pacific preferred, was buoyant
this morning on a well-authenticated ru-
NOR that the dividend on the stock is to
be advanced to per cent annually, in
stead of 3 per cent, the present rate. The
management has been most conservative
regarding dividends and this action, if it
takes place, will mean undoubtedly that
the rate can and will be kept up. The
meeting of the directors will take place
next Tuesday.
1t is rumored again that American Cot
ton Oil common is to be put on a 4 per
cent dividend basis.
The grangers were steady this morning
but made no advances.
