Stocks-Opening quotations in the
stock market were vigorous notice
served on all parts that ample capital
was forthcoming to take up all offer
lngs which the timid holders of the Sc
called Flower stocks choose to offer,
and also to the bears that powerful
weapons were in hand to resist an on
Blaught by them. The different MEM
bers of the Flower group were opened
up to points above Saturdays close,
the favorites of the late financial deal
er, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Peo-
pies Gas, leading the rise. New York
Air Brake in it's usual volatile manner,
to an exceptional rise of IL points in
.he first few minutes. These aggres-
live tactics served to dissipate any I'M
easiness in the speculative mind re-
manning after the violent fluctuations
In Saturdays market. Early quota
lions from London also made it evil
dent that there were large reserves OF
capital prepared to take advantage of
any further sympathetic declines in the
general list of securities. The buying
there before the opening here was not
only for New York account, presuma-
y,
ues, but also on orders from Scotland,
Germany and Holland as we'll as a To-
cal English demand The high open
ing here, especially in the Flower
stocks, invited a considerable volume of
offerings, but they were absorbed with
out the slightest hesitation and in a
short time they materially decreased.
The pressure of liquidation being re-
lieved, the vigor of the efforts with sup
port was somewhat relaxed. Prices
having failed to break. the bargain
hunters were deferred from buying and
the market fell into a quiet state. A
brisk upward movement in Sugar to
1545s and lively demand for the Pa
cities and the Changers caused gem
eral stiffening again throughout the
list. But the smallnesS of the transac-
tons discouraged a continuance of the
bull speculation and the market fell
back into comparative inactivity. The
movement became decidedly easy,
many of the obscure specalties fluctu-
ating quite widely in contrary direc-
lions. This was notably the case
among the iron and steel stocks. Ten
nessee Coal Colorado Fuel and Nation
al Steel preferred being notably weak.
American Smelling and the coalers
were also consistently weak. This ten
dency and the apparent withdrawal of
supporting orders invited a raid by the
bears late in the day practically
against MetroDolitan Street Railway,
which was raided down poins. The
grangers and Pacifcs also suffered in
the decline except Central and South
ern Pacific, which were consistently
strong. METROPOLITAN Street Railway
very strongly, the local traction shares
responding in sympathy The bear
traders covered, making the close firm.
The conspicuous canges we're in the
Flower stocks which closed higher,
though below the best of the day. 9th
erwise changes in the prominent stocks
were not large. Net gains predomina-
ted.
In the bond market there was some
very heavy takings of Baltimore and

where were moderate and changes ir-
regular. Total sales par value $4,1S0,-

Both sections of the disarmament
committee met yesterday, and as anti
cipated, failed to agree with regard 70
the questions of new inventions in
ornaments. The drafting committee
of the arbitration committee made
some advance in the afternoon. The
American delegates submitted their
scheme relating to an arbitration trl-
bunal. Apart from the above project,
the Americans proposed special
scheme of mediation, providing that, in
the event OF difference arising be-
tween two countries, each shall choose
another power to act as its second.
The powers thus selected shall do all
in their power to reconcile the oppon-
ents. These powers, even though war
has broken out, shall continue their
efforts to make peace.
Meets With Favor.
London, June Especial dispatches
from The Hague to the London papers
agree that the American scheme meets
with much favor, as being eminently
practical According to the cores
pondent of the Daily News the arbitra-
ton committee has unanimously rec
commended the American scheme to the
conference. The correspondent of the
Daily News adds: ''This is a speedy
and brilliant victory for the partisans
of peace, as nobody doubts that the
conference will ratify the unanimous
vote of the committee. The professors
of international law at the conference
regard the American mediation
scheme as practicable, and it is meet
ing with universal favor

NICARAGUAN CANAL PROSPECTS
SYNOPSIS of the Report of Investigate
ing Commission.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The state de-
partment yesterday made an ohclal
abstract of the report Of the Nicara-
guam canal commission as presented by
Admiral Walker, the head OF the COM
mission. It is understood to be the In
tention of the president to submit the
full report to congress at the beginning
of the next session. Meanwhile the
department states that it will not be
possible to make public more of the
report than the synopsis furnished the
press at this time. This synopsis
says: The commission understood
that it was required to consider all
routes heretofore proposed, having any
merit, that new routes that appeared
to have merits should be developed,
and the entire region of canal posi-
bilities should be examined with sut1-
cient thoroughness to enable just
and comprehensive comparison OF the
various routes TO be made and the most
desirable one selected. With this view,
Inc commission made a careful study
of all the data bearing upon the Mica
raguan canal question and organized
large force Much delay to the work
and great annoyance to the working
parties were caused by the attempts at
revolution and by the strained rela-
lions between the government of Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA. The outbreak
of the war between the United States
nd Spain was also serious matter.
The report goes on into minute details
with respect to all details connected
with the construction of canal and
the commission has adopted and esti-
mated for a route from Brito to Lake
Nicaragua, called Child's route and
from the lake to Greytown, called the
Lull route. This line leaving Brito
follows the left bank Of the Rio Grande
to near Bueno Retro, crosses the CT
vide (western) to the valley OF the
Lajas which it follows to Lake Mica
ragua Crossing the lake to the mead
of the San Juan river it follows the
upper river to near Boca San Carlos,
thence, in an excavation of the lsft
bank of the river to San Juanillo and
across the low country to GreytoWn,
passing to the northward of Lake Sill
Goa. 1t requires but single dam with
regulating works at both ends OF the
summit level. The surveys have in
general revealed better physical condi-
lions than were hitherto supposed to
exist.

ARMOR PLATE COMBINE.
Uncle Sam Unable to Buy Goods at
Prices Fixed.

Washington, June bids were
opened by the navy department at
noon yesterday for armor for battle
ships, monitors and armored cruisers
now authorized by law, but no bids
were received within the time fixed by
congress. The Carnegie Steel company
and the Bethlehem Iron company sub
mitted statements that they were I'M
able to furnish armorplate of the char
acter REQUIRED within the time fixed by
congress. Burnstine Bros. OF San
Francisco made a blanket offer 10
furnish all the armor required for $45O
per ton, which, however, is above the
limit fixed by congress. This limit
was $500 for the seven ships authorized
last year and $500 per ton for the ships
authorized this year.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 28.-Chip-
pewa and Eau Claire counties were
visited Friday night and Saturday by
one of the worst storms of rain and
hail in the history of this section. Two
miles of track on the Wisconsin Cen
trail railway was washed out at Howard
and on the Chippewa Falls all train
traffic has been suspended. Friday
nights southbound trains from ST.
Paul and Minneapolis were tied up at
Colfax, and the Chicago e Milwaukee
trains were held here. Washouts are
reported on the Omaha railway and
trains are behind time. The bridge
over the Elk River at Howard was
washed out. In Chippewa Falls some
hail stones which fell were an inch in
diameter and filed the cutters so that
the water could not run off.
In Eau Claire the heavy rains
have done considerable damage
to private property in the city
and country. A large section of log
fume of that city was carried away by
the fall of rock oyer-hanging the Chip
pewa river. Four bridges south OF
the city were carried away.
cyclone in Nebraska.
Omaha, May 28.-The most disas-
trous cyclone that has visited Nebras-
ka since the Bradshaw storm, ten
years ago, circulated between Minden
and KenesaW shortly after s o'clock
Friday night and destroyed everything
in its path. The cyclone originated
about three miles west of Minden. II
was first noticed shortly before
o'clock as it advanced down the Bur
lington track, moving eastward toward
Minden, but when within two miles of
the town it changed it's course and
went northwest. The cyclone con-
tinued northwest until within four
miles of Hartwell, where it changed it's
course and started in a southeasterly
direction. The path of the cyclone was.
but it varied in places. Everything
demolished by the storm is a total
loss, as none of the farmers carried
tornado or cyclone insurance. The to-
tai loss will run far up into the
thousands.
Storm in Iowa.
Clinton, Ia, May 28.-A storm ap~
preaching a cyclone passed over this
section yesterday wrecking barns and
cribs. A deluge of water fell, flooding
the corn and grain fields and doing
much damage.

VICIOUS HORSE KILLS BABY.
John Lind's Terrible Experience With
an Ugly Animal.

Chicago, June John Lind, a coal
dealer living at 3118 Princeton avenue,
and his four-months-old son, Ray
mond, were attacked by vicious horse
in a barn yesterday. The child was
trampled to death and Lind received
fatal injuries. Lind, carrying the
baby in his arms, entered the stall oc-
cupied by the horse, and the animal
became frightened by the child which
was dressed in white, and attacked the
father and child, biting and kicking
savagely. The child fell from its
fathers arms and rolled under the
hoofs of the animal to be trampled
into shapeless mass. Lind is now at
a hospital with a fracture of the skull,
a broken jaw and two ribs broken.

REDHOT CONTEST FOR BUCKEYE
NOMINATION.
OHIO STATE CONVENTION
Republicans Gather in Columbus to
Place a Ticket in the Field-Sena-
tor Hanna on the Scene and He Is
Said to Be Working for Judge
Nash.

Columbus, O., June with Sena-
tors Foraker and Hanna, Ohio repub-
lican congressman and other leaders
all here, the indications are that there
may be two opposing states on the
state ticket arranged before the repub-
lican state convention assemblies to-
day, but nothing definite can be
learned as to the combinations at this
writing. Senator Hanna arrived early
in the afternoon since when he has
kept busy comforting with candidates
for governor and others. There are
still three leading forces represented
by Nash, Daugherty and the favorite
of Kurtz; the last named can
didate has not yet been named,
although the indications point
strongly to Lieut.. Gov. Jones as
the man. It is estimated that the first
ballot will stand: Nash, 275; Daugh-
erty, 265; Jones, As; with the other
votes between Douglas, Durbin, Hail.
Nevin, Smyser, Orr, Shattuc, and
Brigham, and 407 necessary to nom
nation. The feature of the Skin
mishing last night was the boom given
to Nash since Hanna's conference and
the subsequent tendency of the field to
concentrate against Nash.
