FRIDAY. May 20.

IkhDAIe Ahey SOs
While the stock market opened to-day with .
promise OF improvement. It did not long retain
tie favorable phase. Tho bearish element.
which has been in the ascendancy In specula-
ton for q considerable period. interviewed and
started o decline that extended through the
active list. A particularly rapid descent In the
stock OF the Consolidated Gas Company was an
tntimatipn OF a lowering Of the oompanys divi-
dond rate. Subsequently announcement was
made that the directors had ordered q distri-
button OF y v cent. on the stock for the current
quarter. which was . reduction OF y y cent.
from the previous payments. 1t was stated
that the cut in the dividend was due to the
war among the gas companies and to the
prospective effect OF the franchise tax upon
the com panY's finances. Later came the in
telligence OF the signing OF the bill by the
Governor, and this news was made to serve as
a reason for q renewed attack on the traction
shares and other stocks affected by IL. and CO.
incidently on the industrial shares as q whole.
The downward movement In prices was
finally arrested by 4 development OF strength
in the railroad shares. which came first from .
decline In wheat on less alarming crop reports.
and next from favorable traffic returns by
leading lines. An especially notable exhibit
was made by the Atchison system. which.
while reporting only a moderate increase In
gross earnings In April. showed a heavy de-
crease in operating expenses. with q oorre-
spending increase In net revenues. Compared
with las. year. operating expenses were
brought down from IS to 62s y cent. and
net earnings we're increased nearly +3 v
cent. The recovery in prices BEGAN, gen.
eral in the last hour. but the ear
lier losses had been too great to be
made up except in q few instances.
Consolidated Gas did not recover with other
stocks. except fractionally. Tho cut In the
dividend was too powerful a drag on II. An
other stock that displayed pronounced weak
ness throughout the day was American Sugar
Refining. There was a report. which was not
confirmed. that the dividend on the stock to be
declared next month would be reduced rs a
consequence OF losses in the sugar trade war.
Pie strongest OF the traction stocks was
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. which closed with a
slight gain from yesterday. and the weakest
was Manhattan. in which. however. the iuctua-
tions were not so wide as in Metropolitan Street
Railway. London bought some stocks.
Exchange was dull but Arm. There was an
advance OF one-eighth cent In demand ex-
change. but tho rate still was left l cent be-
low the so-called gold export point. Call
money vas easy. 1t was calculated that the
bank statement tomorrow would show an in
crease in cash holdings and surplus reserves.
with a decrease In loans.

gimentsl and brigade commanders de-
cided on immediate attack.
Hale's men swept forward in the
form of q "V," so that the entire
forces of the enemy might be encom-
passed and driven away in q body.
The positions of the American forces
were as follows: On the west, the
Wyoming regiment: on the northwest,
the Nebraska volunteers and the Goth
infantry. On the river side a gun
boat was detailed for action to shell
the enemy in retreat.
AS soon as the lines were under way,
the Wyoming regiment closed d in,
firing rapidly. Suddenly one of the
companies sprang from the line with a
cheer and dashed towards the insur-
gent trenches.
It was company G., and its action
electrified the American lines. Other
companies Of the Wyoming regiment
leaped to the front and the entire line
swept down the FilipinOs.
Maintaining their fire for only
short time after the charge: the rebels
leaped from their esrthworks and fed,

Their retreat was cut off in all direc-

as the insurgents turned that way they
were met by the pitiless shelling of
the gun boats. The infantry lines clos
ed in at once from the east.
In the woods the rebels scattered
Into small bands and were driven along
the river front.
The loss of the insurgents was heavy.
The only casualty to the American
forces was the wounding of Private
Speach of the Nebraska regiment.

TO Weigh MAILS
The Trlennial Test Will Soon Begin.

Inc 1FlcNnldl est Mill SOOn Dc9lH.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. THE
postoffice department has completed
arrangements to begin next week the
interesting work of weighing the mails,
which is done once every three years
to establish the rates of compensation
for the railways handling the nations
mail matter.
The tests are not made all over the
country the same year, but they are
always made in March, when the
volume of mail passing over the rail
ways is at about an average for the
year.
Outside of New England, the most
important work this year will be the
weighing of the mails handled in what
is termed the Indianapolis division,
extending over 5000 miles of road and
reaching over Indiana, Ohio and Illi-
nois. 1t is expected that the weighing
will show tremendous gain in the
amount of mail matter handled in this
territory during the past three years.

inches of water for 400 feet, and q few
inches more will stop travel on that
line.
Before night $4,000 psople will
doubtless be homeless, as the river is
expected to reach at least So feet by
that time.
1t is rising 2 inches an hour. AT 9
O'Clock this morning it had risen foot

yet resulted, as every body is prepared
for high water at this time of year.
