Fifteenth Street northwest, caught fire
this morning, and W. L. Hurxthal, a night
clerk, had narrow escape from death.

and was awakened by the dense sitting
smoke arising from the cellar where the
fire originated. Cropping his way to the
telephone, he sent in local alarm. When
the fire engines arrived a fierce fire was
raging in the cellar. After a hard fight
the flames were subdued. The greater por-

The evening times., 1899-11-02

The confident bullishness OF the Street
asserts itself and is clearly shown every
day, whether the surface fluctuations OF
the market are up or down. Today all The
morning prices advanced, but the indioa-
tions of the strong undertone of the mar
ket were no more apparent than they were
yesterday. People who understand the
market as much as any can. because they
are marking its movements from day to
day, advise their friends to buy stocks, es-
pecially the Pacifics and other low-pri ed
issues. They have been giving this advice
for several weeks, while the level has only
huctuated back and forth, for the reason
that the leaders were accommodating stock
for big advance soon to come There
may be fluctuations from day to day, or q
big advance on heavy short covering may
come Immediately, but the ultimate coui Sc
of prices seems hardly to be questioned.
The Leather securities were again bois-
terously strong, the common going as high
as 35 in the first half hour of the day and
the preferred to 81 L.. Few market crit
les are willing to express any opinion as to

but few, on the other hand, doubt that
there will be big tumble in both stocks
in a short time. The company is not earn

Three securities in the Pacific group

column from an excellent source is to the
effect that Union Pacific common will be
advanced rapidly within a short time by

hands OF shares during the past summer

OF the Huntington securities. The increas-
ing earnings of both Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific are of the most reassuring

Brooklyn advanced to 81, but declined
q point or more from that figure. The en-
tire undertone of the speculation in the
stock however, is most confident and most
reassuring and the Street is bullish on it.
The same may be said Of Manhattan.

Trade Conditions Favorable,

New York, May 13.-Bradstreet's says:
Reports as to trade conditions are gen.
orally of favorable tenor, notable among
these being advanced quotations for many
grades of iron and STEEL increased activity
in building lines reflected in heavy sales of
lumber at prices tending upward, firmer
tone in the cotton goods market sympa-
thized in by the raw product, bank clear
ings surprising all records for this week
of the year, railroad earnings maintaining
recent gains and business failures, as for
some time past, down to the minimum.
Offsetting these in some measure might be
cited the reasonable quieting down of
wholesale distributive demand, particular
ly for dry goods and clothing, but most not
able of all the further weakening of cereal
values, rejecting the indifference of for
eign buyers, in spite of the definitely con-
ceded fact that our winter wheat acreage
has been considerably curtailed. lowered
quotations of hog products and some shad-
ing of prices in sugar, copper and tin.

wheeler" and Joe" from all parts of
the hall. Every sentence of his speech
brought shouts of applause, and he
stirred the veterans to a frenzy of en-
tRusiasm. At times it was impossible
fgr him toproceed. He spoke strongly
in favor of expansion.
Gen. Wheeler touched upon the ques-
tion of expansion by declaring that south
ern soldiers and southern statesmen had
ever taken a prominent part in all the
movements looking to the enlargement of
our territory, and continued:
'"The position in which the American
people find themselves to-day was not
sought by them, but is the logical result
OF conditions thrust upon the country by
a course of events beyond our control
We stand before the gaze of civilization
confronted by grave responsibilities The
supreme test of American institutions is
involved and the American system of
government is on trial.
ITO return to the starting point of a year
ago would be to lose what it would take a
century to regain In answer to those who
say that the policy of our forefathers for
bade the extension of territory l would
point to jefferson and the Louisiana pur-
chase, Monroe and Florida, Polk and Texas
and the vast territory acquired from Mex
leo, and later to Andrew Johnson and the
acquisition of Alaska.
"If there be any who contend that we
should not permit the island of Cuba to
become a part of the United States and it's
people, if they desire 1t, to enjoy all the
rights of American citizenship, / have only
to point to the official declarations of our
great statesmen, commencing with
Thomas jefferson and running through al
most the entire period of the first half
of this century. During all that period
from jefferson to Buchanan, laid down
in their messages and state documents the
imperative necessity of making the Pearl
of the Antilles part of the United States.
Memorial to Winnie Davis.
The memorial to Winnie Davis was
one of the features of the session. Col.
Bennett IL. Young, of Louisville, paid
a tribute to the memory of the "Daugh-
ter of the Confederacy." A resolution
was unanimously adopted extending
the thanks of every veteran to the peo-
pie of the north who so tenderly admin
istered to Winnie Davis at the time of
her illness at Narragansett Pier.

Charleston, S. c., May l3.-With a
spirited and at times stormy session
the ninth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans was, on Friday,
brought to close. Gen. j. B. Gordon,
commander-in-ch and all the old of
ficers were reelected, Louisville, KY,
was chosen as the next place OF meet

TRUSTS UNDER FIRE.
Combinations Are Being PrObed by
Industrial COmmissiOn-One Plan
for Prevention.

Washington, May 12. The indus
trial commission Thursday heard the
first witness to be called in connection
with its inquiry into the operation of
trusts. The witness was Hon. James
w. Lee, of Pittsburgh, attorney for sew
eral pipe line and oil companies, and
formerly state senator of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Lees testimony was direct
ed especially against the Standard Oil
company.
AS means of prevention of trusts,
Mr.. Lee suggested law making de-
structive competition a criminal Of
fense. He thought the fear of imprison-
ment would intinidate some of them.
Nothing had done so much as destruc-
tive competition to prevent progress
and fairness. The law could be passed
by the states, and in case of prosecu-
tion prices charged for years could be
used in evidence. He would also sug-
gest that the capital of all corporations
except those of a public or quasi-publc
nature should be limited to 81 900, 900.
He thought that something of this kind
was necessary, and that if a remedy was
not found the country would be ruined
by combinations of capital detrimental
to the public interests. Under the pres
ent conditions personal ambition was
stifed, and many men were being kept
out of business because of the existence
of these combinations.
