Admiral Dewey will not accept the home
which the American people are preparing
to present him.
This comes from the admiral himself, he

that he must decline to accept It. but that
II fund was raised for that purpose, he
would take the money and invest it in
home for sick and disabled sailors.
1t is understood that there will be an eff
fort to make the fund as large as possible
and that the. committee will willingly ac-
cede to the admirafs wishes and permit
him to buy and furnish a home for sailors
There is no question that Washington will
be selected as the site for the home.

country have been slow in responding

made have come from New York, Philadel-

HEAVY STORM IN ALASKA.
1t Extended From the Summit Down
to Lake Bennett.

SKAGUAY, Alaska, June 8. via Seattle
Wash, June ia heavy wind and snow
storm has prevailed from the summit clear
down to Lake Bennett for several days.
The weather is now moderating. Wind has
broken up the ice in Lake Bennett. leaving
open water. through which some of the
scows and small boats started down the
lake. One large scow, loaded with potatoes
and several thousand dollars worth of
merchandise, was caught in the ice and
crushed The men were all saved, but they
had narrow escape. Their names could
not be ascertained.
Lake Summit was frozen solid Friday
night, June 2, SO that wagons crossed it in
safety.
The water in Lake Bennett is said to be
three feet lower this year than last, and
eight inches too low for launching steamers
now on the bank.
Cariboo Crossing, at the lower end of
Lake Bennett has only a few inches Of
water in it, and boats cannot possibly cross
it unless the water rises several feet.
No communication has been had with At
lin for several weeks, and none can be had
until navigation opens and permits boats
going around the lakes.

G. WALDO SMITH HEARD,
Testimony Taken by the Industrial
Cnr f.s

Testimony Taken by the Industrial
Comm fssiOn.
The industrial commission held a bust
ness meeting this morning at its rooms in
the Bliss building, opposite the Capitol. and
at o'clock heard the testimony Of Mr. G..
Waldo Smith of New York, president of
member of the firm of L. W. & P Arm
strong, raw sugar importers.
New Member of the Commission.
Mr.. s. N. D. North. who has resigned
from the commission to accept the position
Of chief statistician of the census bureau,
will be succeeded by Mr.. Albert Clarke of
Boston, secretary of the Home Market
Club. Mr.. Clarke Is a Vermonter by birth
and went to Boston twelve years ago to be-
come secretary of the Home Market Club
Shortly after locating in Massachusetts
he was elected member of the lower
mouse OF the Massachusetts legislature and
served there for about four years, During
the latter part of his term in the legisla-
ture he was chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house. He is re-
garded as man who has much special in
formation on industrial questions
Mr.. North will continue with the indus
trial commission until July 1. 1t is under
stood that during the coming year he will
DO most or his work in connection with the
census bureau at his home in Boston.
The commission met at 2:13 o'clock this
afternoon and heard the testimony of Mr.
smith. He was sworn by the vice chair
man, Mr.. Phillips, the first witness sworn
since the commission began its work. 1t
was decided by the commission to swear all
its witnesses hereafter, authority to do so
being given them by the law creating the
commission.

their par value
Now, IL any stakeholder signed that
memorandum Of agreement to sell his stock
to Mr.. Stevens, he also agreed to sell his
certificates OF Indebtedness If he had any
at that price, and 1t will be noted that Mr.
Stevens has since bound himself to pay ac-
crued interest, which he was not bound to
do by the memorandum
1t Will be seen, also, that IL the railroad
company prefers to let the certificates run
on to maturity and not pay them under this
clause, they all remain seeured-that is, all
those which have been presented and
stamped-but as to all others, they are not
under the protection of the trust. No one
who holds any of those certificates is
obliged to change the terms printed on their
face unless he so prefers, but IL he wishes
to come under the protection of this trust.
he must also give the company the right
to redeem, as stated.
ut is shown that the directors of the
company under the memorandum named
above and the resolution of stockholders of
June 3, which last gave the power In the
discretion of the directors to place such
trust as they thought right and proper.
had to consider both the company's rights
and the stockholders rights. No right has
been taken away, nor could there be any
taken away, and only conditional right
conferred. They could not put an absolute
trust over these certificates without violat-
ing the agreement of stockholders in the
memora ndumt

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June 12-Opening prices
this morning were in the main steady, with
fair commission house demand for the
local traction shares and q few OF the more
prominent steel stocks. Traders were in
clined to sell the Changers and southwest
ern stock on account of the government
crop showing. but these sales had small in
huence on prices.
The buying of American Sugar was again
Of the same confident character as that
noted toward the close of last week, and
the advance in these shares again helped TO
force up the entire market.
The Flower office was again active in its
specialties, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Peo-
pies Gas and Federal Steel being taken I'm

ing. out after the noon hour this stock was
advanced very smarty at the expense Of
thu short interest. The buying was usually
In round amounts, and the response to the
demand was the best yet recorded in this
property.
The general belief now is that a dividend
OF IL per cent will be declared on the com
mon shares of this company about the
I'D instant. Such action accompanied by
statement of condition would undoubted-
ly allow friends of the property to advance
the price materially.
The street is just now very largely de-
Pehuent upon the iron ana steel issues for
the bulk of Its speculative incentive
The dividends to be declared on these
stocks will be taken, II is hoped as a guar
antee or merit, and public interest should
consequently be attracted to them. Iron
ana steel are the subjects of such unanI-
nous favorable comment that Il should
very naturally follow that the shares OF
corporations engaged in the production or
manufacture of such commodities should
find broader and better market Should
expectations be realized in this respect Lhe
midsummer market Will be again for these
issues, at the years best level
There Is a suspicion, however that GER
tain influential bankers DO not expect n
general movement of record proportions
The low rates for money are cited as the
basis of this view. and money is being put
out in sources very remote from Wall
street enterprises.
BY some the gold movement is believed
to have been inspired by a desire to get
funds into better loan market As the out
flow continues, S20000o more going out
from the City Bank tomorrow the mystery
surrounding the movement continues.
1t may be worth remembering that this
outflow originated in an institution said to
be controlled by the most dominant fnan-
clal interests in the country. These same
interests are not sellers of stocks at any
recent level. They are interested in some
OF the old and GONE of the new industrials,
and this Is q oup which for the moment
Is exceptionally strong. Gold goes out but
those who finance the transaction are not
concerned.

DISPLAY OF HORsEMANSHIp.
Thrilling Scene Witnessed on bright
wood Railroad Yesterday

A thrilling exhibition of superb horse
manship and brute sagacity was witnessed
on the Brightwood road yesterday about
noon. A young farmer from MONTGOMERY
county was driving home from the city.
the horse attached to his buggy being a
magnificent animal, about three years old
When about opposite the car sheds at
Brightwood one of the old WORKOUT cars
came down the track and reached the spot
at the Same time. There was a fiat wheel
attached to the car and it made almost as
much noise at locomotive, added to
which was the hummng of the motor The
young thoroughbred pranced and paved
the earth as the car approached, but re-
fused to advance.
Just at the instant the car was passing
the driving outfit the now thoroughly
frightened animal wheeled around on the
track and directly in front of the car
AT the same instant the horse made his
dash for the track the young man handling
the reins gave q mighty pull on the reins
and almost instantly drew the frightened
animal straight up on his hind legs. There
he stood paving the air, not more than a
foot from the car. and in that position hs
remained until the grinding conveyance
crowded with shrieking women and as
tonished men, swept by. During these
thrilling seconds the driver in the buggy
kept his seat, and In the most matter of
fact way allowed the horse to place his
forefeet upon the earth when all danger
was past.
Had the driver wavered for an instant
Snd- allowed the animal to be hit by the
car 1t would have thrown the magnificent
brute off his hind legs and undoubtedly
mashed the buggy and more than probably
killed the horse.
An assistant chief of thu fire department
and several OF the men attached to the
Brightwood engine house witnessed the
incident and were loud in the praise Of
passengers in the front of the car were
badly scared as they realized the import
ance Of the horse staying in the air and
not descending upon them with his fora
feet.

CANNON TO GO ABROAD.
This REEVES the Story of His Trans
fer From This Embassy.

With the conclusion of the negotiations
for a Franco-American reciprocity treaty
the French ambassador, NJ Cambon, will
go abroad for the summer. This Is likely
to renew speculation as to NJ. Cembon's
transfer to one of the embassies of Europe
although the trip will be made with the ex-
pectaion Of returning in the fall and con-
tinuing in his post as ambassador here.
The French officials are hopeful that the
reciprocity negotiations will result in a
treaty at an early date, and that NJ. Cam
services, viz: the French reciprocity ar
rangement concluded about year ago, the
intermediary in restoring peace between
the United States and Spain, and finally
reciprocity treaty, supplementing and ex-
tending the former arrangement. This has
been a larger field of action than any
French representative has occupied in re-
cent years.
