CYCLISTS IN MONTREAL.
me 1ity Thronged With Attendant
at the Worlds Meet.

Montreal, August THE worlds bicvcIa
meet to be held here this week promises
10 De great success. The city is filled
with cyclists from all over America and
Europe and the hotels cannot accomno-
date any more. But the accommodations
committee has provided hundreds of
boarding houses. The entries for the races
number some 47o already, and if is decid-
ed at the last moment to let in the out
laws there will be another hundred or SO
entries poured in representing the remain
der OF the fastest bicycle riders in the
world. This will in all probability be de-
cided today
Mr.. Batchelder, the president of the out
laws, is here and is very sanguine. Moth
ing can be done, however, till the Euro
pean delegates arrive. They are on the
dominion Line steamer Dominion which is
expected here this afternoon. Immediate
ly after their arrival a meeting of the ex-
ecutiVe, E. l. C. A. will be called and this
matter will be thrashed out The feeling
mere is that if there is any possible way
of letting the outlaws in it should be
made use of.
Lord Minto is expected to attend the
actual race meet which begins on Wednes-
day and will be carried on Thursday and
Saturday. The freedom of the city has
been offered to the visiting cyclists.

Water Main Tax Increased.

In accordance with the advice of their
attorney, Andrew B. Duvall, the District
Commissioners have decided to quash the
water main tax against a lot owned by
Nelson K. Weatherless, in Wright and
Dole's subdivision. The case is similar in
all respects to that of Michael White,
wherein the assessment was quashed by
The District Commissioners last May upon
the advice of the former attorney for the
District. S. T. Thomas. The assessment
WAS made out by reason of the laying of a
water main in Brightwood Avenue, be-
tween Florida Avenue and Whitney Ave-
nue. by the Judson Pneumatic Railroad
Company several years ago. The assess
ment against Michael Whites property
was quashed because the act of the Legis-
latipe Assembly of 1873, authorizing the
assessment of the cost of laying water
mains and erecting fire plugs against
abutting property, contemplated water
mains and fire plugs laid or erected by
the municipality" and not water mains
laid by private individuals or corporations
and subsequently purchased by the Dis

President Young Names Frank Dvy-

Umpire Smith has rendered his resigna-
ton and the same has been accepted. Frank
Dwyer, one Of the old stars of the dia-
mond who has been conspicuously in the
game for many years, has been appointed
to the place made vacant by Smiths re-
tirement
Dwyer is well and fayorably known
throughout the country as competent and
conscientious ball player. He was for many
years connected with the Cincinnati Club
and was regarded as one Of their most ef-
fective pitchers. He is man of excellent
habits and his friends are numbered by
the score. With his knowledge of the
game and his well-known reputation for
honesty, supported by cool judgment, 1t is
believed he will undoubtedly prove a val
liable addition to President Young's staff
OF umpires. He will make his professional
debut in tomorrow's game with the Chica-

tive from justice, is in the county Jail

The opening OF the stock market this
morning was devoid OF character, with
small dealings at near the prices of the
close on last Saturday. and no apparent
disposition toward greater activity The
conservative opinion OF the market has
not changed. 1t is thought to be entirely
possible that a few days, or even Ier-
haos two weeks of dullness may now en-
sue. owing to the fear of tight money.
and the season of the year, but there is
little disposition on any hand to look for
materially lower prices. 1t is believed that
the next movement will be upward, under
the influence of active work by the large
interests. who are at present owners Of
immense blocks of stock, and with the
help Of very large public that will begin
to buy stocks as soon as they show 4 sus-
tained tendency TO advance. The money
market is source of some uneasinesS, but
conservative people believe that slightly
higher rates will not prevent bull market
If the important interests desire to ad-
vance prices.

port OF the stock, and the Street Is still
inclined to believe that ii may be one Of
the leaders this week.
The evening times., 1899-08-07

One theory suggested by the present cir
cumstances of-tighter money is that the
hlEh-priced securities may be neglected for
a week or two, in favor of the specialties.
This is exactly what has occurred during
the past week and it is not unreasonable
20 suppose that the same policy may be
pursued in the immediate future. The
grangers and other high-priced and stan
dard issues are in a position TO hold their
own admirably without the help of the
market leaders who will need only to re-
| frain from selling their immense holdings
of these stocks. Such securities as the
coalers, the steel stocks, and many of the
lowpriced railways could be advanced
with little difficulty by their cliques in
concerted effort, in much the fashion that
the Tobacco stocks and Tennessee Coal
and Iron have been marked up recently.
Later with crops assured and with rail-
way earnings continuing TO increase as
it is certain that they will, the boom of
| the autumn of 1899, if there is TO be such
a movement, can be begun under most IA
vorable auspices.
The particular speciaties TO take I'D the
attention of the Street this morning were
Pan Handle and Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf. Each was advanced rapidly to
new high prices under the influence OF
heavy inside buying helped by some COM
mission house orders. Pan Handle has
been strong during the past week, much as
it was six months ago, when it advanced to
81 with the great boom of January and the
first week of February. There is more talk
of the great suit of the minority stockhold-
ers against the Pennsylvania railway, and
the promoters of the boom and of the suit
are promising that the stock is certain to
reap an immense harvest of accrued and
accruing dividends.
The boom in Pittsburg and Gulf is due
to the apparently authentic statement that
the Chicago and Alton system is to alb
Sorb the line. Such consolidation would
be of immense benefit to the Alton, and it
is supposed that a good price is to be paid
for the Pittsburg and Gulf securities The
earnings of the latter line have been large
recently, with those of all the lines in the
southwest
American Tobacco was strong this
morning despite selling by small holders
| to take profits. Some attention is given in
| the Street to the talk OF a big opposition
to the Trust in the shape of the stl ong
Buchanan & Lyall tobacco concern which
i has been incorporated with a capital OF
| 81, ,DOO, 900. 1t Is said that the intention OF
| the new consolidation is to take. in all the
opposition concerns possible and fight the
American Tobacco Company. Whether it's
object is to sell out to the Trust or not is
| an interesting question that nobody except
the concern itself can answer.
1t is said to be certain that there will
be no increase in the dividend of the Bur-
| lington, and careful analysis of the af-
| fairs of the company seems to bear out this
| idea.
