The LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Outbreak of the War Is Taken Phil
osophically On the Exchange.


London, Oct 15-The stock market has
taken the outbreak of the war phiiosoph-
ically and the event which has had very
little effect on prices, has on the whole
been rather welcome as likely to settle a
disturbing factor which has long been
worrying the market. Mining shares have
been freely bought here and in Paris. The
market was very strong yesterday on
rumors of British victories, the last prices
being the best, the rises ranging from Is
to ] point.
The other markets displayed a frmer
tendency, owing to public buying, en-
couraged by easier money. and it is to be
expected that as soon as things settle
down q sharp upward movement will oc-

No Moral Questions.

'Mr. Cox of New York demanded the
reading of the credentials, and the same
were read. Mr.. Merriam insisted on his
demand for the previous question. which
the house refused to order, and Mr.. Cox
was given the floor. Mr.. Cox stated that
he did not raise any moral questions
here that ne cared nothing about Nor
monism; that Mr.. Cannon had a prima
facie right to his seat. and the adoption
of the pending resolution would set 1.
dangerous precedent. Mr. Cox was fol-
lower by General Butler OF Massachu-
sets. who repeated in a more compact
and specific way the argument of Mr.
Cox. adding that the moment the he
broke away from the well established rule
and principle of seating a member or dele
gate who presented proper credentials,
then chaos followed, for in high 5arty ex-
element the house could never be organ
lied.
General Butler was followed by .4r
George f. Hoar of Massachusetts who
stated-only more clearly and fully--what

Mr.. Clarkson n. Potter of New York, one
of the ablest lawyers on that house, fol-

Guilty with Mr. Merriam's objection, was
that the statute has prescribed certain
qualifications for the office of delegate
from the territory, but among those quail
ifications is not innocency IN respect of

Credentials are Regular.

Major Mcdowell examined said Gre
dentials and found them regular and in
due form, and, as in duty bound, placed
on the roll of representatives-elect to the
Roberts, who, since the 4th of March last
has drawn his salary. the same as every
other e9reseitative-elect.
Judge Culberson has very accurately
stated the practice in the house of rep
resentatiyes in respect to its organiza-
ton, /. e., that when objection is made
TO the cath being administered to any
member the speaker requests such mem
Der to stand aside until all the other
members are sworn in That course win
undoubtedly be pursued in respect to MIR.
itobefts: me trounle with the crusaders
is that they commence at the wrong end.
for under the. uniform practice of the
house OF representative Mr.. Roberts is
as much eEtftled to be sworn in as the
lection, when he appears before the bar of
the house to take the usual oath of office.
Entitled to Be Sworn In.
There is no sort of question about
this. and although the question has been
frequently raised in the organization of
the house of represent atives-and | have
complied and printed all of thenl-it has
been uniformly settled, as once stated by
Renrasen tative-row Senator-George f.
HOar, when this identical issue and ques-
ton was up. that the only question for
the house to consider was whether the
credentials were regular in form. and
whether the officer certifying them was
entitled by law of his state and the
usages of the house to give him those
credentials
TT is trite saying that history repeats
itself, and it has in this instance not
Only repeated but duplicated itself, as
the following statement will show. On
Dee. 2, 1873, on the day of the organiza-
ton of the EouseTof representatives of the
Forty-thtrd congress, after the represen-
tatives-elec had all been swornin, George
@. Cannon presented himself at the bar
of the house with the other delegat -eldct
from the territories TO take oath of Of
