ADDITION OF TWO.
Smallpox Cases Increased to Fifteen
Sudden Death.

One case of smallpox was reported to the
District health officer this afternoon. and
one last evening, making the number of pa
uents under treatment at the smallpox hos
pital fifteen. The case discovered last
evening was that of John cambridge, color
ed, seventy-one years of age, resident at
3oS Z street southwest. The character of
the old mans illness was discovered when
he applied at the Washington Asylum Hos
pitai. near the District Jail, for treatment
for rheumatism. 1t is said cambridge reach
ed the asylum hospital on a street car, and
1t is supposed he contracted the disease
from his son, who was recently removed to
the detention ward from 237 F street south
west, an infected house. From this house
Charles Allen, colored, twenty years of age,
was removed to the smallpox hospital this
afternoon.
Malankin Plummer, a young colored man.
an inmate of the detention ward, who was
taken there from an infected house in Hills
dale several days ago, died suddenly at the
ward about 3 o'clock this morning. There
had been so far as the health officer is in
formed. no previous history of Illness and
the case has been turned over to the coro-
ner for investigation as to the cause of
death.
One death from cerebro spinal meningitis
was reported here today, making the num-
ber thirty-siX since the 18th of February.

International Tribunals Over Any
COuntry's Courts.

Solicitor Peafeld of the State Department
has been studying the decision of the court
of cessation at Rome, delivered February
t. in the case of Ernesto Cerruti. The re-
suit Of that case has heretofore been given,
but Mr.. Penfield has found in 1t an interest
ing point IN international law.
The court holds emphatcally that no
court of a nation can set aside the decision
OF an international arbitration. An agree
ment by nations is higher than that of any
internal court.
The court of cessation decides that the
award pronounced by the court of arbitra-
ton is law in itself, and excludes the
provisions of the internal laws of the two
states who effected the compromise from
appeal. Hence. the rules of private right
cannot be applied to international treaties
The amounts awarded and fixed must stand
and no matter how much aggrieved either
party may be, no court of either state can
alter the decision of the International tribu-
nal.
The United States Supreme Court has
never passed upon such question, as there
never has been an appeal from an interna-
tional award to the courts of this country

The Specialties Were the Features
in Stocks Today.
RAILWAY SHARES WERE DULL
Sharp, Favorable Reaction After
Bank Statement Was Published
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch The Evening Star
NEW YORK. April 1.-The market this
morning was mostly in the specialtios
Manhattan was opened up sharply from nS
to I'D and reacted easily under mixed sell
ing to first prices
Recent official assurances Of the wonder
full earnings in Federal Steel made that
stock favorIte also. the common gaining
per cent over the holiday. The advances
in the two properties named absorbed al
tention during the first hour the general
market relapsing into dullness.
There was much mixed opinion as To the
weekly bank statement and the railroad
list was practically stationary in conse-
quence
The quart -rly settlements may show in
current bank transactions but it is not
considered likely that any material or pro-
longed disturbance will be encountered
from this source
The industrial issues have tided the
market over the doubtful period between
crop reports. and If no significant disap-
pointment occurs the early spring should
see standard shares again to the front.
The Atchison issues and Union Pacific
seem likely subjects for aggressive buying
once this movement is iuaugurated. In the
matter of current earnings Atchison has
slight advantage over Union Pacific and
practically all of its neighbors selling near
the price.
Usually welI-infcrmed operators have
been carrying considerable lines Of stock
at higher price without the slightes; indi-
cation of decreasing confidence.
Railroad shares have been secondary fea-
lures solely because Of the parade of ma
ntpUlative favorites. It may be taken as an
Indication of value that during the period
OF neglect prices have held and no material
liquidation has been encountered.
While the long-predicted activity in the
market toward the close Of the first half of
the year is depended upon to materiAlize in
due season. conditions do not warrant hastv
action. Buying on concessions Is about the
only positive advice offered by the larger
commission houses. and even then oiscrin-
ination is urged.
The bank statement reflects a decrease OF
more than 3,oO,0o0 in reserve and a loss
OF S,Soo.0o0 in lawful money, mostly in
specie. The deposits have fallen Of So :,33
ODD and the loans have been increased only
S4o9WO. The relatively small increase in
the latter item is the one particularly IA
Vorable feature OF the report
Upon the publication of these figures the
market rallied sharply, particularly Man
haitian. Rumors of a steady absorption OF
eSts produced some remarkable trading
toward the close of business. The extreme
fluctuations in price represented a gain Of
nearly IL per cent, and while the closing
hSures were not the best, the price was
very well sustained.
The rumored dividend on Federal Stool
and the fact the Flower following have
promised higher prices will likely add To
the final advance in that property. The
closing. while irregular. reflected general
er prices We're a mere question OF patience
and margins

CLAIMS THE SPACE.
Objections to StrinSinS Wire Above
Il Residence.

In order to make room on 9Th street
northwest between G street and Massa-
chusetts avenue for the double tracks of
the City and Suburban railway, the under
ground electric conduits for which are be-
ing put in, the Commissioners had the side
walks reduced to the extent of 61a feet.
This rendered desirable the removal of
the telegraph poles from that thoroughfare,
and orders were given for their transfer to
an alley in the vicinity.
To accomplish this it became necessary
to stretch a wire from a pole in the alley
to one on 1 street. This carried the wire
above the house of a man named Major,
who resides on street between 9TH and 9th
streets.
To this Mr.. Major objects. The wire does
not touch the dwelling, but the contention
is that the owner Of the ground controls
all space between earth and sky. and there
fore can prevent the stringing of the wire
as contemplated. Should this contention be
sustained the poles will have to be again
placed on 9Th street.

MRS. FAYNE MOORE RELEASED.
Woman Arrested in New York OIL
"Badger" Charge.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Justice Scott in
the supreme court today released Mrs
Fayne Strahan Moore, on her own recog-
nizance. on the charge of larceny of steal
ing silverware from the Waldorf-Astoria
This action was taken on the application of
the district attorney. Mrs. Moore had
been previously released on the Indictment
charging her with extortion. She was un-
der 81 900 bail on the larceny charge, but
the hotel proprietor having recovered all
the silverware exhibited no inclination to
press The charge.
This ends il series of protracted efforts to
OBTAIN Mrs. Moore's release. She was not
tried on the eXtorti0n charge on account of
the absence of Martin MahOn, the COM
planning witness. For ''badgering" Mahon
MIS- Moores husband is now serving his
term in Sing Sing prison
