towards recuperation and recovery In
prices until the last half hour OF the
trading. After that time prices were
bowled over in every direction. like a
set OF ten pins which had been set up
simply to be knocked down again. The
selling movement was In full force
when the market closed and prices
tending rapidly downwards. Some Of

achieved earlier In the day were COM

to wipe out all OF the gains In Brook

accompanied by professions of eonh-
dence that money market difficulties

banks are not losing quite as heavily

there Is no evidence of any actual re-

Republican Members Again Fail
to Agree.
Call for Another Conference To-Day-For q
Pacific Cable-Humane Society Bill
All Right.

The Republicans of the Legislature
at 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and
It was a very stormy affair, ii reports
are to be believed. Several times II
promised to end in a row with no sign
of agreement, but wiser heads con-
trolled the belligerents, and as a result
of it all it was decided to again meet
and confer at the old stand this after
noon.
Seyenty-seven members were present
and nobody seemed in hurry to ger
down to business. Finally Assembly
man Brown of San Mateo started the
trouble by moving that the conference
adjourn sine die.
Assemblyman Johnson of Sacramento
inquired why such a motion had been
made. and called upon Brown to ex-
plain matters.
Instead of Offering to explain MS
s.faith," Brown withdrew his motlon'
and johnson proceeded with a strong
appeal for harmony among the Repup-
called "drooling.'' He called the atteh-
tion of the members to the importance
of electing a United States Senator anu
said that as they had met for the sec
rond time to confer, it was evidently the
general desire to do something IN the
line of electing somebody. He Knew ne
as understood to have said, the import
ance of the State having two members
in the upper house of the General ooii-
srress. and he urged that the peneiits
70 he derived from the election in NO
vember be not thrown away, anu uhae q
Senator be elected.
AS an example of a State with pat
pne Senator Johnson referred to oregon
which had lost one-tnird of her appro-
priations when represented by but one
Senator in Congress. The speaker
thought that Melick's plan OF having
a caucus at which it would require
sixty votes to nominate was good
one fnasrnuch as it would at least get
the Republicans together.
johnson was followed by Senator
Cutter, who is said to have ridiculed the
idea of going into a caucus in which
sixty votes should nominate. He
thought it was a trick. He is reported
to have said that once in caucus, there
was nothing 70 prevent the rule being
changed to make fortythree votes
nominate He said if the members
wanted to change their votes they could
do so as we'll on the floor Of the AS
sembly as anywhere
Melick at this point wanted to know
if Cutter would consent 70 go into q
caucus if the sixty to nominate rule
We're made iron-clad.
Cutter. it is understood. evadea the
question by saying that such rule
could not be made iron-clad. Melick
repeated his question, and cries of An
swer Melick's question: came from all
over the room a scene of confusion
