REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Heavy Liquidation Was Followed By
a Rally.

New York, Feb. 10.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Heavy realizing sales and liquidation of
speculative holdings caused an ir
regular decline OF values in the first
half Of the week, followed by an equally
irregular but we'll marked raliying
tendency. The declines appeared to be
the result of an overbouCht condition,
large amounts of securities having
passed at the recently high prices into
the hands of the speculative holders,
who were discouraged by the symptoms
of reaction displayed last week and the
evident slackening of the public buy
ing demand Large interests of the
street were apparently disinclined to
take any very active part or to en-
courage a resumption of the general
advance under conditions which would
UnquestiOnably have resulted in profit
taking on an enormous scale and in
further selling here by London. When
the selling movement on Wednesday
became rather severe in it's effects and
resulted in some incioient breaks there
was ample evidence that support was
extended to the market and the rally
which enSued prevented the more or
less appearance of manipulation from
such quarters. Such action was
rendered more effective and easier by

had accumulated for some days past,
the smaller professional operators dis
playing an increasing tendency TO act
on the bear side of the account for
turn. The whole market this week has
shown the presence of the regular
speculative element to an increasing
extent, while the volume of commission
house business has shrunk TO more
normal proportions.
The daily transactions have also de-
creased considerably, although they
have still been large enough to Justify
the description of the market as very
active oce.

RACING QUESTION SETTLED
WHEELMEN'S LEAGUE WILL
CONTINUE IN CONTROL.
Professionals Will Have Represen-
tative In the National Assembly
and Also On the Racing Board.

Providence, r. l., Feb. 10.-To con-
tinue the control of bicycle racing, both
professional and amateur, to exclude
the former from membership, but to
allow them a representative at the
national assembly, and extending to
them a representative on the racing
board, We're the main results of the 1899
National assembly of the l.. A. w,
which finished its work in this city this
afternoon.
The racing question was. of course,
the all important one before the as
sembly, but SO thoroughly had the
ground been gone over in the past and
so well was the situation understood
that there was scarcely any debate
upon the question and the proposition
to divorce the league from racing was
overwhelmingly defeated, although OILY
one brief speech was made on the part
of those who afterwards proved vic
torious.
The assembly was strongly opposed
to the admission of professionals with
in the league rank, yet that class of
racing men received for the first time
due recognition from the league, the
call for representation where there
was taxation being answered by giving
them membership in the assembly.
In carrying out the sentiment, Presi-
dent Neenan stated that professionals
would also have a representative on
the racing board so that, taking every
thing into consideration, today was de-
cidedly in favor of the racing 0rofes-
sion.
The sum of $500 was appropriated
for the presidents personal expenses.
The assembly also voted to re-enroll all
those who, having been in the army
and navy, had allowed their names to
drop from the league. They viii also
continue TO be members while in the
service.
The afternoon session began with
President Keenans announcement that
Boston had been selected for the meet
of 1899.
BY an amendment offered by Mr.
Sans, all amateur racing men Will be
to register hereafter, the
same as professional If they are mem
bers of the league it Will cost only 80
cents. but if they are not they must
pay So annually.
The present practice of deciding the
place tor the annual league meet by
mail vote was made mandatory by an
to the constitution.
The president was empowered to az
point a press committee and establish
a touring department.
The assembly, at p. m. adjourned.

ARMY APPROPRIATIONS.
House Committee Cuts Them Down
to Eighty Millions.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The army ap-
preparation bill was completed today
by the house committee on military af-
fairs, and by dint Of pretty severe cut
ting of numerous items, il was brought
down TO $79,034, 372 1t was framed on
the basis of an army of about 100, 900
men, and contemplates the enactment
of the Hull bill for the increase of the
army, or the retention of volunteers
and regulars up to that number. Spe-
cific provision is made for nine major
generals and twelve brigadier gener-
ais
The committee inserted in the bill an
appropriation of $685. 00 for the estab-
lishment of a plant for manufacturing
small arms at Rock Island Ills. This
@em is entirely new, and the new de-
parture of making small arms vat Rock
Island would bring the daily output of
the government up to 1000 stands a
day.
Among the reductions made by the
committee TODAY was that on contin-
gencies for the army from S450000 to
5000 coo; Cuban relief, from $261, 500 to
500 900.
The clerical force of the headquarters
of the army was reduced one-sixth.

CAMPAIGN IN ILoILO.
No Movement Is Expected For the
Present.

Washington, Feb. 10.-For. reasons
that they will not divulge- officials do
not expect the attempt to be made TO
land the American troops at Iloilo i'm
mediately, though that was the under
standing a day or two ago, based on
General Otis advices as to his inten-
tions. 1t is possible that it has been
concluded to be good policy TO allow
the natives on Panay to learn for
themselves the disastrous fate that has
overtaken Aguinaldo's forces in the
neighborhood of Luzon, hoping that
they may be induced to abate their re-
sistance to General Miller's attempted
landing. Then, too, as there are con-
siderable foreign interests in this town,
which is second only TO Manila in the
Philippines it may be deemed neces-
sary to give formal notice of the Amer
lean purpose to attack the place in or
der TO enable proper precautions to be
taken.
Even if the attack took place accord
ing to the original plan, news of the
result would not reach here for two
days, as Iloilo is distant from Manila
about $50 miles, and the waters be
tween are not easy OF navigation.

OTIS BUYS PONIES.
American Horses Cannot Live In the
PHILIPPINES.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Seeretary AL
ger went to the cabinet meeting today
without any official advices from Cen
eral Otis as to the situation at Manila
AS General Otis lines are extended it
becomes more difficult to keep up
speedy communication between the
American outposts and the base at
Manila, and he purchased 900 horses for
this purpose.
These horses, so-called, are really
the little native Filipino ponies. which,
it is said at the war department, have
been found to be the best animals for
pack and draft purposes that can be
secured. Some big American horses
have been taken TO the islands by the
troops, but they have sickened and died
and altogether have proved to be
wholly unfit for the climate. On the
other hand. General Otis reports that
he has mounted, several troops of cav
airy on the little native ponies with
good results.

OPENED BY THE CABINET
PREPARATIONS FOR THE EN-
BALMED BEEF INQUIRY.

Washington, Feb. 10.-At the cabinet
meeting today the president read a
brief extract from the report of the
war investigating commission and the
matter was discussed informally. Dur
ing the conversation a can of roast beef
which had been taken from the COM
nissary stores was opened. The mem
bers examined il as well as could be
done with the means at hand and all
declared that, so far as they could de-
ternine, it was in perfect condition,
wholesome and sweet.
The question of an extra session Of
congress was also discussed, and it is
the opinion of members Of the cabinet
that in case of the failure of the army
reorganization bill an extra session will
be necessary. The president during the
meeting called attention to the urgent
necessity for an American cable across
the Pacific and read the message he
had sent to congress on the subject.

WANTS A CABLE LAID
MADE NECESSARY BY ANNExA-
TON OF PHILIPPINES.
Sends a Special Message to Congress,
Urging the Necessity of Line
Across the Pacific.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The president
sent message to congress today, call
ing attention to the urgent necessity
for the construction of a cable across
the Pacific ocean. 1t does not make
any specific recommendations as to the
mode by which the cable shall be Sc
cured, the main point being that 1t is
imperatively necessary a cable should
be laid The message is as follows:
LAS a consequence of the ratification
of the treaty of Paris by the senate of
the United States, and its expected
ratification by the Spanish government,
the United States will come into pos
session of the Philippine islands on the
farther shores of the Pacific. The
Hawaiian islands and Guam, being
United States territory and forming
convenient stopping places on the way
across the sea, the necessity for speedy
cable communication between the
United States and all the Philippine is
lands has become imperative. Such
communication should be established
in such a way as to be wholly under
the control of the United States,
whether in time of peace or war. At
present the Philippines can be reached
only by cables which pass through
many foreign countries. and the Ha-
communicated with by steamers, in
volving delays in each instance of at
least a week. The present conditions
should not be allowed to continue for
a moment longer than is absolutely
necessary.
The time has now arrived when u
cable in the Pacific must extend as far
as Manila, touching at the Hawaiian
islands and Guam on the way. Two
of toll oh inc a
munication at once suggest them
selves:
'First-Construction and mainten-
ance of such a cable at the expense Of
the United States government
Second.-COnstructio and mainten-
ance Of such cable by private Unit
ed States corporation, under such
safeguard as congress shall impose.
Il do not make any recommendation
to congress as to which of these meth
DDS would be the more desirable. A
cable of the length of that proposed
requires so much time for construc-
ton and laying that it is estimated
that at least two years must elapse az
ter giving the order for the cable before
the entire system could be successfully
laid and put in operation. Further
deep-sea soundingS must be taken
west of the Hawaiian islands before
the best route for the cable can he Sc
lected. Under these circumstances. 1T
becomes a paramount necessity that
measures should be taken before the
close of the present session of congress
to provide such means as may seem
for the establishment of ca
bic system.
Il recommend the whole subject to
the careful consideration Of the con-
gress, and to such prompt action as
NAV seem .adViSaD

SIGNAL CORPS INCREASED.
Telegraph Men Now More Valuable
Than Major Generals.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Owing to the
pressing need for additional signal
corps men in the Philippines and the
difficulty of getting reinforcements
there from the United States, it has
been decided by the war, department
to strengthen corps now in the is
lands by the addition of one company
of sixty men recruited from the volun-
teers in the forces now stationed there.
The company will be recruited from the
best men obtainable in the service and
Differed by the best non-commissloned
officers that the company commanders
are willing to spare. The new company
will be divided into patches of twenty
men, who will be distributed among the
companies already organized there,
making a leaven of forty. old men ito
each of the new companies.
The work of the corps in the Philip
pines, as at Santiago and in Porto
Rico. has been invaluable, in spite of
the very small force available. Since
the renewal of hostilities the men on
duty in this corps have been working
almost continuously day and night
Telegraph and signal men, the war de-
partment says, are worth more than
generals of division in the present cri-
sis and it has been Imperative to in
crease the working force on the ground.

Mr.. Kirkpatrick (Rep. Pa.), defended

concluded the debate for the day with
q denunciation of the president for
committing the sentence of Commissary
General Eagan. He declared that Cen
eral Eagans attack upon General Miles
had no parallel in military history. He
had called General Miles "A liar for
simply telling the truth, to which $4,000

troops had been fed rotten beef, said
Mr.. Lentz, and yet General Eagan was
TO be suspended with pay for six years

bill to pension Mrs. Semple was reduced
from $50 to $50 per month.
PALMER'S PENSION.
In the course of the discussion upon
the bill to pension General Palmer, it
developed that he was absolutely with
out means, and was practically blind.
Mr.. Brucker (Dem., Mich.) recalled the
fact that General Palmer had been the
candidate of the gold Democrats for
president in 1896, and suggested that
that might account for the fact that
this bill was pushed through within
