ANOTHER ADVANCE.
Continued Strength
in the Stock
Market.

WALL STREET IMPROVES.

The stock market rise made further
headway as the money market con-
tinued to work easier.
On the stock exchange in New York
the call rate has got down to four per
cent, although five per cent was quoted
at one time yesterday, but the general
tendency of rates is easier and there
seems no doubt that funds are pouring
into the banks literally this week. New
York Central rose "a today, Atchison
preferred *, c., B. & @. /, General
Electric 21a, Louisville & Nashville
rs, Missouri Pacific rs and Sugar 2.
The strength was sustained through
the day, with volume of business i'm
proved and the market considerably
broader. The opening was strong,
business being well distributed
throughout the list. Gains did not ex-
coed fraction in any case. Amazon
da declined u in sympathy with Lon
don and Smelling preferred lost an
equal amount. The outside demand
through commission houses met the
prottt-taking sales, Sugar and Brook
lyn Transit making conspicuous rallies.
Large buying Of Missouri Pacific lifted
the price to AZ, and the whole South
western group rose in sympathy.
The grangers and Pacifcs also were
strong. New York Air Brake Jumped
five points, and Metropolitan Street
Railway and Lake Erie & Western
preferred 2 each. Heaviness in Sugar
and Manhattan caused some hesita-
ton in the general list at the end of
the first hour, but a rally Of over a
point soon took place, and strength in
isolated instances caused the market to
harden again towards noon. National
steel Leather preferred, Chicago Ter
mlnal Transfer preferred and Pan
handle gained a point or over. New
York Air Brake extended its advance
TO Is points, and General Electric rose Q.
There was a good demand for bonds
ST. Louis Southwestern seconds rising
over point New York Central was
bought largely and advanced above 14O
after the noon hour. Union Pacific and
northwestern were manipulated for a
rise, and pennsylvania advanced above
l37, Hooking Coal & Iron gained 2K
The succeeding dulness invited hear
tactics, and New York Central. North
western, Texas & Pacific and Pennsyl-
vania showed sharp reactions. but af ?
p. m. the market was strong all around
at a good advance
Boston trading broadened and
showed some good gains, but as a rule
the home specialties were not promin-
emit. Butte gained 2, to 81, and Frank
I'm rallied II. to 1875, but Santa Fe lost

ODD FELiOWS' DIIMOND JUBILEE
Fifty Thousand Celebrating the Event
 Ht Detroit. NIich

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 19.-Fifty thou
 sand odd Fellows are attending the
 diamond jubilee of the order in this
 city to-day. The grand lodge of Ohio
 presented the sovereign grand lodge
 to-day with a cane which formerly be-
 longed to Thomas Wildey, the founder of the order in this country. Richmond.
 Va, was chosen as the place of meet ing in 1900. This afternoon the Re.
 bekah assembly rendered Grand Sire Pinkerton and the various department commanders reception. To- nights feature was reunion of past grand representatives. Many members of the order and ladies assembled in the Hotel Cadillac convention hall and listened to addresses by men who have been prominent in the sovereign grand lodge. The president of the past representa- tives' association, Andrew Henshaw, presided. Hon. Fred Carlton of Texas spoke of this associations objects.
 J. C. Farnham of Ohio read an ad- dress on Progressive Odd Fellowship" Addresses were made by K. G. Ansell of Washington and others. There were many arrivals to-day from several states, chiefly uniformed cantons of the Patriarchs Militant and their ladies. A special train arrived from Boston with Department Commander Emerson and 1855 members from Massa chusetts. Pa triarchs from Maine, New Hampshire and other states came in on evening trains. Grand Sire Pinkerton was, this even- ing, presented by the Richmond lodges with magnificent bouquet of Virginia roses, consisting of seventy-five white roses, one for each birthday of the sovereign grand lodge, and thirteen for the thirteen original states, of which Virginia and Massachusetts formed parts.

WORK OF THE SH4 HROCK.
Fast Sailing Yesterday-Nine Knots an
 Hour Covered

New York, Sept 19.-No chance is being lost by Sir Thomas Lipton and William Fife, the Shamrock's S designer, to try the yacht on every point of sail ing before the final trial against the Columbia. Starting at :42 to-day from Scotland lightship, the Shamrock sailed over a triangular course, ten miles each to the first and second legs and four and a half miles to the third leg, d course of about twenty-five and one half miles, allowing for windward work in three hours and three minutes. The Shamrock rounded the outer mark, laid down by the tug Lawrence, at 1:15, and then, with sheets eased to port she made fast time to the finish, changing her club topsail to one a size larger on the way in. Two minutes after round- ing the mark the headsails were taken in and big balloon jib topsail was set, which made considerable differ ence in her speed. It was estimated that the yacht traveled during the trip at an average of nine knots an hour.

New York Central Directors' Meeting
 Presidency of Consolidated.

New York, Sept. 19.-The failure to
 directorate of the New York Central and the Harlem roads in place of his father is being commented upon by per- sons familiar with the old-time Van | derbilt policy of succession. There was a belief that if the present Cornelius was to succeed his father in the possess sion and management of the bulk of the vast estate held by that branch of the family he would be given a place in | the board of directors, even if he was not trusted with official responsibility. The action taken yesterday was indca- tive of the assumption by William K. Vanderbilt of general control of all the Vanderbilt railroad interests. There is good ground for the assertion that this policy was favored and provided for by Cornelius Vanderbilt.
 The entry of William Rockefeller into
 the New York Central directory, taken
 in connection with the retirement from
 the New Haven and Hartford presi-
 dency of Charles P. Clark, who in re-
 cent years has refused to be dominated
 by the Vanderbilt influence, means the
 elimination of antagonism between the
 New York Central and the New Haven
 and Hartford interests. It apparently
 lfennCpc of 10 Int ho
 Pennsylvania railroad and the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
 road were about to form coalition to
 counteract the effect of the acquisition
 of the Boston and Albany pad by the
 New York Central. The present situa-
 tion, furthermore, is corroborative of
 statements made recently that events were so shaping that the influences con-
 trolling the New York Central would dominate, not only in New England railroad affairs, but in the policy and management of the Pennsylvania rail- road system as well.
 Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who is director of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad, when asked yesterday who was likely to succeed President Clark, replied in matter of fact way Why, I suppose it will be the present vice president, John M Hall" A person who may be describ- ed as New York Central insider'' in timated yesterday that final action on the lease of the Boston and Albany road by the New York Central, which was to have been taken at special meet ings of the stockholders of the respec- tive corporations called for September 27, would be deferred for month or so. When the actual ownership of the Boston and Albany stock is disclosed it will be found that some important changes have occurred within the past few months. New York Central inter- ests, it is averred, will be found to own or control large majority of the Boston and Albany shares. Opposition to the ratification of the published terms of the lease of the Boston and Albany to the New York Central is be- ing stoutly waged by certain New Eng land stockholders of the Boston and Albany. This opposition is, in fact as- suming the form of political issue i'll

Pretoria Papers Believe n Joint Con-

Pretoria, Sept. 19.-The reply of the government to the latest British note is variously commented on but the Pretoria Press printed in English and Dutch, and other papers profess to be- lieve that a joint convention will yet be held and that there Is still a possl- bility of an understanding being reach- ed. The Volkstein declares that in the event of war Holland will send an am- bulance corps to the Transvaal. The Nolksraad, as a matter of urgency, to- day refe;red the new draft law provid- ing for the confiscation of the property of persons found guilty of treason or lese majeste to a special committee for consideration and report. At the re- quest of President Kruger the chamber then went into secret session.

THE MAzET INYEsTTG 17TON.
Counsel for the Ramapo Company on
 inc Stand

New York, Sept. 19-Edward Lauter-
 bach, counsel for the Kamapo company,
 was on the stand to-day before the Mazet committee. He was asked to tell
 whether the Ramapo stockholders had decided to submit list of their names.
 MT. Lauterbach stated that he had
 been instructed not to submit the list on any other terms than those previ- ouSly named, which were that the names should not be made public Mr. Lauterbach and MT. Moss had several wordy rows during the examination. The witness was asked if he had ever said he would much rather see a Tam many man elected mayor than a man who belonged to no organization. He replied in the affirmative. Later, he was given an opportunity to explain his
 'pro-Tammany speech" as he called it. He said that his words merely expressed a preference for an organizat tion nomi- nation, even by hostile organization, to hybrid one. There was nothing of importance to be learned from Mr Lauterbach. Silas B. Butcher. presi- dent of the Ranapo company, who was called to the stand declared that he had no such documents as he had been called upon to produce before the com mittee. MT Butcher declined to answer a number of questions put to him and was unable to say where the books of the company were, He will be put on the stand again tomorrow.
