The Stock Market.

New York, March 29-Strength prevailed nearly all day in the stock market with dealings in oyer a million widely diversified shares The effect of extensive realizings was not felt until near the close when the tone was easy and the recessions still left material advances in many stocks. London after some early purchases sold freely on the advance here but the stock was well taken. Sterling exchange was strong and time money easier Call money which had touched per cent. was loaned at the close at 4h An incident bringing forth favora. ble comment was the weeks increase of over a million in exports of merchandise. Practically the only lagsards in the list were the Morgan stocks, including the coalers. Louisville, Atchison pref, and Manhattan. The latter stock was weak on the idea that it would not be benefited by the increased competition of the underground road which the Metropolitan company offered to con- struct. Metropolitan jumped to 269 at the opening on the assumption that 1t would be benefited by an underground rairoad Il be- s,- later lost points of It's advance.

The Empress of China Honored by Ger
 man Royalty.
 Just before the sailing of the Canadian Pacifics magnificent steamship Empress of China, from Hong Kong on her last eastbound trip, it was visited by. their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia, who were shown through the vessel and thoroughly in- spected it. The greatest interest was manifested in the workings of the Elm press, the prince, being an admiral, go- ing into tunnels and other out-of- the way places, that the ordinary visitor does not think of exploring. After q thorough inspection Prince Henry con- veyed to Captain Archibald, and MT. Tillett, the marine uperintendent, his feelings of qualification at what he had seen, and stated that the Empress far exceeded, both inside and out, any ship in the merchant marine service he had ever visited. The royal pair were hand somely entertained by the officers and on their departure expressed the great pleasure their visit had given them

of blunt, plain ways, and the man of courtly manners; the man of few words and the man who ever deemed himself sitting in an elevated pulpit with a mighty sounding board, with a whole widespread people for congregation how could they understand each other? ? Grant cared little for speech making. It sometimes seemed as if Sumner thought the Rebellion itself was put down by speeches in the senate and that the war was an unfortunate and most annoying, though trifiing distur- bance as if fire engine had passed by. Sumner did injustice to Grant; Grant did injustice to Sumner. The Judgment of each was warped and clouded, until each looked with biood-shotten eye at the conduct of the other. But I be- lieve they know and honor each other now.-Senator Hoar, in Scribner's.

Tim Smiths Little Joke,
facts?

The Hon. James Smith, some time Unit
ed states Senator from Essex County,
who ran away to Europe at the time
when he might nave been of some benefit
to his party, has returned now h the
election is all over. He arrived in port
Saturday evening, and his vessel had no
sooner run into American waters than
Mr.. Smith assume a new role and set
himself up for a humorist.
He was met by a party that went down
the Bay on a tug to welcome Mr.. B.. F.
Stanley. who was also returning to this
country on the same steamship. In the
ompany was the ubiquitous reporter.
tom. he began to interview Mr.. Smith on
the political situation.
Almost the frst question the newspaper
man asked was, .sWho viii be the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1sOO?''
Being a candidate myself, l cannot
discuss the subject Mr.. Smith is re-
ported to have said. accompanying his re-
marks With a wink. which was evidently
intended to convey the impression that
this declaration of his candidacy was to
be taken in . Pickwickian sense.
No DOUBT Mr.. Smith meant to be funny
and give people the idea that Mark Twain
IL not an American humor trust. This
will be recognized at once. n the ac-
companying wink was altogether a waste
Of energy. No one knows better than
Mr.. Smith the utter detestation in which
the people Of New Jersey hold him, and
that were he to come before the voters
as a candidate for anything. he would
be defeated worse than were his legisia-
tive candidates last fall. when he wanted
to be reelected United States Senator. !
Mr.. Smith is a shrewd gentleman, and
any good Democrat, who was inclined to
turn pale at the prospect of his being a
candidate for President. may reassure
himself and dismiss his fears. The gem
tleman-we beg pardon, the EX-SENATOR
from Essex will not submit himself to
the ridicule of attempting the impossible,
and the State will be saved the ignominy
Of standing for his candidacy.

remarkable opportunity for his favorite

There was a conspicuous instance of this

on the jury panel. The young man was
J. Lee Taller, and he appears to be pretty

who Is honorable in his conduct and pop

Mr.. Taller made the same plea for ex-

Y. N. C. A. CLASSES.
Unusual Interest Is Being Manifest
ed In Educational Work.

The Young Mems Christian Association
conducted two afternoon meetings yester-
day, both of which were largely attended.
The meetings were held in different parts
of the city. STAR Captain ]. w. McDou-
all. General Secretary Of the Salvation in
New Jersey. spoke to an audience of men.
that completely filled Humboldt Hall on
Newark avenue. The meeting in Has
brouck Hall was unusually interesting,
and was also addressed by speakers of
national reputation from the Salvation
Army. Prominent among these was Col
onel e. D. Higgins, Chief Secetary of the
Salvation Army in North America. who
delivered an eloquent address. Bridadiers
C. Miles and T. w. Scott also delivered
addresses. Major Williams and Colonel T.
Holland gave brief talks Vocal and in
strumental solos added much to the inter-
est of the meeting, which was one long
to be remembered.
Next Sabbath the Rev. J. Francis Nor
gan, D.. D., will speak to men only in
Humboldt Hall. These downtown meet
ings are attracting wide attention and are
proving unusually successful. Meetings
on the FILL win be continued but not Of
tcner han once a month while the meet
ings in Humboldt Hall continue.
Unusual interest is being manifested In
the Educational Department of the asso-
citation. The class in Spanish, just start
ed, is proving a drawing one. The class
meets on Monday and Thursday evenings
and already has an enrolment of eleven,
with indications hat at least twenty will
be enrolled. There is an unusual demand
for bookkeepers and clerks understanding
or Spanish. and several Y. NJ. c.
A. men ave good salaried positions
awaiting them as soon as a knowledge OF
these languages Is obtained.
Glasses will this week be started In
arithmetic, English and shorthand, and
other classes will be organized shortly.
The educational enrolment this year Is
nearly double that of last year.
The Y. M. c. A. gymnasium will soon
be improved by the addition of a large
quantity Of new apparatus. just ordered
the exclusive use of members of the
association. Since Prof. Adams has taken
hold OF the Physical Department, the
In this branch of the work
has increased two hundred per cent.
The association Bible training class,
conducted by the general secretary, will
meet as usual on Tuesday evening. The
schedule of lessons embraces a systemat-
ic study and analysis Of the books Of the
Bible. Last weeks lesson proved UNI
interesting and practical. This
course of studies will undoubtedly prove
very popular.

and that he was at least as conscientious
as anyone else who had taken up the
same position.
But Goff and Osborne, General Gardi-
ner's more or less ruffianly assistant,
evidently thought it would be a popular
thing to old up a dude to popular
ridicule and contempt. So they adopted
a tone of scorn towards the young man
which was totally unwarranted by any
thing which he said or did. The episode
ended by Con- excusing him in a tone
which evidently showed hat he consid-
cred Taller of far inferior moral and
mental fibre to himself.
