AWARDING CONTRACTS.

The Stevens-Crosby Syndicate Pur-
chasing New Steel Rails.
The Stevens-Crosby syndicate has been
in conference with the largest steel and
iron people in the country for the past
week in connection with the big contract
for materials for the construction of the
underground electric system on the Ana
costa and Belt Line railways Good pro-
gress has been made in letting the con-
tracts and that the work of construction
will begin in a few weeks and completed
during the present year is almost Ger
tainty.
The contract for the construction OF the
entire Improvement has been let 10 Mr.
Saxton, the contractor who has built all
the underground roads in the city up to
the present time. II is not announced
what his terms are to be. The contract
for the cast iron work for the entire fif-
teen or more miles of the two roads has
been let TO Davies & Thomas. the big
Pennsylvania iron company. The amount
involved is between SIS, 900 and 100000.
The iron and steel people are bidding to-
day on the steel rails for the entire mile
age between thirty and forty miles OF
rails. The Johnson Company, of Johns
town, Pa, the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, and the William Wharton Company,
of Philadelphia, are all bidders.
The construction on the City and Subur-
ban portion of the syndicate roads is now
nearly completed The conduits and rails
have been laid over the entire G and c
Street portions of the line running east
and west and the concrete is now being
laid. On the New York Avenue part of the
line the conduits and rails have been laid
almost all the way to North Capitol Street.
On the North Capitol line construction is
well under way. II is hoped that the cars
may be running on parts of these lines, at
least. during the early summer
There is nothing new regarding the pro-
gress for the sale OF the Metropolitan and
Columbia roads TO the syndicate. Next
Saturday is the day on which the stock
offered for sale by stockholders is TO be
deposited with the American Security and
Trust Company, the depository for the sale.
A majority of the stock of both roads has
been pledged to the sale but it is under
stood that as yet the full 1000 shares of
Metropolitan stock asked has not been Of
fered. People who are believed to know
the intention of the syndicate in the mat
ter assert. however. that it will take any
thing over a controlling interest. even if
the amount of stock it asks for is not

His views and antagonism 10 the ssnti-

until he promulgated the order revoAing
the charter of the D. d. Porter Command

General Dyrenforth was given an oppor-
tunity TO explain in the columns of The
Times, and dictated interview was
published for him. He said that
he revoked the charter of the Porter Com
mand in order 10 Immediately suppress any
sentiment which might prevail throughout
the country and have a tendency to de-
crease the prestige of the Union soldier
He does not believe that the expressions
of the President at Atlanta will amount
to anything, as he says Mr.. Mckinley does
not intend to pay any further attention
to the matter. and only made the speech to
make his stay in the South as agreeable as
. possible. His great fear is that it will
not be long before the claims of the Union
soldier VIII be trampled in the dust as it
were. to make way for the Confederates
whom he thinks the people are en-
deavoring TO exalt above the heads of the
Union veterans. This is already being done,
according TO Dyrenforth, as many of the
positions in the Government offices are
filled and are being filed with copper
heads and rebels to use Mr.. Dyrenforth's
expression. He said that il was his in
tention 10 combat the President or anyone
whose action would tend to further the
growing feeling of fellowship between the
North and South.
The sentiments expressed in the inter
riew are believed to be the reason why
Dyrenforth was not received Yesterday.

The President Did Not Receive

There May BE Better Luck on Friday.
When. He Says, He May
Call Again.

Gen. Hobart St. George Dyrenforth, >.
conspicuous as Commander-in-Ch Chief of the
Union Veterans Union, does not appear to
be in favor with President Mckinley. He
paid his first visit TO the White House
order revoking the charter of the d. d.
Porter Command for daring to adopt a
resolution endorsing the sentiments OF the
President in regard TO caring for the
graves of the Confederate dead. and re-
eeived a practical turn down. General
Dyrenforth. representing as he does one Of
the large organizations of veterans OF the
Union Army of the Civil War, is presumed
TO be given audience with the President in
preference to the ordinary caller at the
Executive Mansion. He arrived at the
White House yesterday morning about 10
O'Clock, and his card was taken 10 Mr.
Mckinley and II is said was Immediately
placed among those which are given no
attention The general was then shown a
seat in the hallway outside of the room
used By persons who are to be admitted
10 the private Office. Here he loitered for
a full two hours while Mr.. Mckinley gave
audience to a number Of persons, who
would not under ordinary circumstances
have been seen until the wants OF the
Commanders In Chief of the Union Neter-
ans Union had been attended to- little
after u O'Clock Dyrenforth left the Execu-
tive Mansion. When questioned as to his
hurry and why he did not remain 10 see the
President, ne said. Mr.. Mckinley wanted
me 10 wait but / find have not time
shall call again Friday"
Hitherto il has been the custom of the
President TO receive Mr.. Dyrenforth upon
the occasions OF his visits at the White
House within a short tine after the an
nouncement of his arrival The duties of
the Commander in Chief necessitate that
he look after the interests OF the old SOL
diers who are members of the organiza-
lion. In accord with all administrations
since the Civil War President Mckinley
has, as far as has been practical, given
preference TO the Union soldier in making
appointments to positions under the Gov
ernment Up to the time that President
lanta. promising that the graves of the
Confederate dead should be cared for. he
and Dyrenforth were upon comparatively
friendly terms Since that time il is un-
derstood that MIR. Mckinley has refused
TO listen TO what are looked upon as un-
reasonable demands from Dyrenforth for
recognition OF the value OF the old soldier
as d Government employe. This is under
stood TO have raised wrath in the heart of
the ''rainmaker." as he saw the gradual

STOCKS ACTIVE

Rapid Advances on a Large
Volume of Business.
Specula Ors Cheek a Common Rise
by Heavy Liquidation.
Afternoon Dealings IrreguIar-Gains
in IndustriaIs Partially Lost
The General Market.

New York. April 12.-The general stock
market advanced with great rapidity at
the opening of business with the dealings
in very large volume. As was TO be ex-
pected such advances as were made for
the forenoon proved tempting to specula-
tive holders of stocks and the check TO the
common rise came plainly from liquidation
of that character. To some extent the
disturbing events in the Samoan Islands
were also effective in inducing profit
taking sales and some selling for short
account. but it is safe to say that the lank
and file of the traders were more in
fluenced in their operations by the heavy
liquidation that appeared after the open
ing than by the possible international COM
plications involved in the affair at Apia.
The initial upward rush of prices was ap-
parently wholly continuation of the i'm
provement in the market that made such
decided progress yesterday. One whole

number of interesting and generally en-
couraging returns of railway traffic were
made The roads in the Southern States

local market but the rapidity of the ad-
vances at the opening prevented the exc
cution- of many orders from that quarter.
Still on balance foreign houses were buy
ers of about 10000 shares of stocks here.
Early cabled advices reported the Ameri-
can market in London very firm, particu-
larly for New York Central and the ad-
vances there contributed materially TO the
initial rise in the local market.
The later dealings in the market werc
very irregular. In the forenoon all the
industrial shares advanced rapidly, there
being particularly sharp rises in Federal
Steel common, Continental Tobacco and
Sugar Refining. These advances were
subsequently shaded. The local transpor-
tation stocks were very active, particularly
Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
The fluctuations in both stocks were wide.
The general market closed active and with
an uncertain tone.

FREE TO MILLIONS OF
SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for kidney, Bladder,
and Uric Acid rro oubies.

Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know Of Swamp Root
1t is the great medicah triumph of the
nineteenth century; discorered after years
Of scientific research by the eminent kid
ney and bladder specialist, DR.. Kilmer,
and has truly wonderful powers in curing
kidney, liver, bladder, and uric acid dis
eases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any other
disease, and is so deceptive that thousands
have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp Root and thousands more
who today think themselves beyond
help can be made well by the use of this
great remedy.
Swamp Root has been tested in so many
ways, in hospital work, in private prac-
tice, among the helpless too poor to pur-
chase relief. and has proved so successful
in every case that a special arrangement
has been made by which all readers of The
Times, who have not already tried 1t, may
have sample bottle sent absolutely free
by mail: Also book telling more about
Swamp Root and containing some of the
thousands upon thousands of testimonial
letters received from men and women who
owe their good health, in fact, their very
lives to the wonderful curative properties
of Swamp Root Be sure and mention

Swamp Root is what you need, you can

Continued buying by Flower and the

Continued buying by Flower and the
appearance in the market of Morgan and
the Vanderbilt interests caused the level
of prices to advance rapidly during the
early hours yesterday. Until after .
O'Clock the tone of the market was buoy
ant, and after that hour the liquidation
which set it did not hurt prices suffi-
ciently to shake the confidence of the bulls
in the least. At the close there was
another advance which carried prices up
nearly to the highest point of the day.
On the whole, therefore. 1t may be said
that the swing upward of the market on
Tuesday was continued yesterday with
added vigor and that the days business
was most satisfactory. Money continued
easy and the leaders were conspicuous
buyers of their specialties. The news
from Samoa did not seem TO have any
effect on the market. The net advance
for the day averaged a point or more
although some stocks closed with net
loss. The specialties were still the con-
spicuous features of the market. The out
look for today and the remainder of the
week is considered good by conservative
people though il is feared by some that
a reaction may come before Saturday.
Much comment is INDUCED in over the
buoyancy of Brooklyn Rapid Transit Peo-
pies Gas, the Federal Steel securities and
the industrials and specialties generally
after the tremendous way that they were
handled last week. The explanation is not
hard TO find. Each OF these stocks repre-
sents one of the most prosperous COM
panies in the country at the present time
and one that has almost unlimited possi-
bilities in the way of earnings and divi-
dends. They are all big companies in a
big country, prosperous companies in a
country running over with prosperity Be
hind each are men of immense wealth
F. and the finest talents for business and
the making of money. With such show
ing the leaders of Wall Street speculation
have taken up the securities with the as
surance that they will have fine futures.
And the public is as much convinced of
all this prosperity as the market leaders.
1t is certain that the advance OF Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and the Federal Steel
securities was too rapid, but it is even
more certain that the top prices reached
were not abnormal prices. 1t seems be-
yond question that they will be reached
again in very short time and passed a
long way before the end of the present
year. The banks do not seem to have
ceased in their discrimination against
the industrials but 1t seems probable that
they may be using some discrimination in
their discrimination. The loaning rate
yesterday never reached as high as per
