LOAD WAS EASIER CARRIED.
Liquidation Effected on an Easy Rate
For Call Money.
COVERING SHORT CONTRACTS.

New York, Dec. 23.-The stock mar
ket had to carry another heavy load of
liquidation. Trading was on smaller
scale than on any previous day, but
tho tone was feverish and unsettled
throughout and fluctuations were con-
slant. The principal selling pressure
came from London, where the money
difficulty was aggravated by renewed
apprehension over the safety of the
British columns in South Africa and
the advance of the official discount rate
of the Bank of France. Forced liquida-
ton on the London exchange was on
large scale and overfowed to the New
York market The internationally
listed stocks were acutely depressed at
the opening and were not able to make
any substantial Roadway. Buying to
cover short contracts caused some
sharp rallies but they were not well
held and the closing was exceedingly
unsettled at substantial losses.
A notable feature of the weakness
was the easy rate ruling at the time for
call money. After lending at per
cent in the morning, loans were being
made at 5 to 8 per cent at the time
when prices were dropping most rapid
ly. The weakness was not so much
confined to the speculative industrials
as has been the case and if liquidation
was being forced by discrimination
against the collaterals, the standard
stocks were thrown over to
obtain funds for the protection of hold
ers of industrials.

VICTIMS OF PRECEDENT.
But Not an Excuse For Dishonest,
Though Old Tricks.
BRIBERY THE FIXED CUSTOM.

New York, Dec. 3.-According to
the Havana manager of a tobacco i'm
porting firm now in this city at the
home office, the Cuban customs APP
praisers who were arrested in Havana
are only the victims of precedent.
Said he:
1t is not an unusual move. The won
der is that it has not been done before
Under Spanish rule the changing of
classifications on goods, with the con-
nivance of the officials, was very COM
mon. The officials had an idea that
they held office for the single purpose
of getting rich. They accepted brides
Us matter of course. Now they have
come in contact with another admins
trative idea which takes into consider
alton the interests of government and
are surprised as well as disappointed
at not being able to go on in the same
course.
This is not the first instance since
the Americans have been in charge
where frauds of the same kind have
been let off with the rebuke of the Off
GERS.
Business men who have shipped
goods into Cuba have been taught by
experience that it is cheaper to bride
the officials than to remain honest and
be kicked out of the country. Spanish
officials did not care to deal with hon
est merchants and would seek pretexts
for getting them out of the country.

Corruption In Havana.

Havana, Dec. 22.-An immense SEN
sation was caused in Havana by the
arrest of nine appraisers of the GUS
toms house staff, on a charge of being
in collision with many Havana mer-
chants to swindle the government out
of large sums. 1t is asserted that the
fraud has been practiced for two weeks
at least, and probably for longer
period, and it is believed that thou
sands of dollars have been corruptly
diverted. The swindle was accom-
plished by classification of articles
under which valuable goods went into
cleap classes.

GOVERNOR WOOD ARRIVES.
will Issue No ProcIamatlon---A
Novelty In Cuba.
WARM WELCOME TO HAVANA.

Havana, Dec. 22.-Major General
Leonard Wood, the new governor gen.
eral, has arrived on the steamer Mexico
from New York. The steamer was
gaily decorated with flags. From Ca
banas fortress a major generals salute
of thirteen guns was fired, and the
Cubans from the junta fired governor
generals salute of twenty-one guns by
the explosion of petards.
General Wood was deeply affected
upon hearing of the death of General
Lawton, and was unable to converse
for several minutes.
Every launch in the harbor, barges,
rowboats were hired and decorated
with bunting. Much enthusiasm was
manifested on every side. A large
crowd received General Wood at
Machina wharf, and upon landing
there he was greeted will hearty cheers.
The welcome given General Wood on
entering Havana was, according to all
tllc Olu TcSlucubS, WlOhouo pdIuiiSi III
the history of the island. Moreover
there was heartiness in the cheering
that was quite unusual.
During the next few days, General
Wood will only attend to routine work
at the palace. He is the recipient Of
numerous invitations to stay at private
houses, but has felt it wiser to remain
at the hotel.
The local papers devote considerable
space to the reception, declaring that
General Wood is the most acceptable
man who could have been appointed to
bring Cuba out of her difficulties and
into quiet harbor. The Lucia says:
"His first act is enough to ingratiate
himself with the Cuban people, because
he declared he had no intention to is
sue proclamation. This is a novelty
which Cubans will keenly appreciate,
as it indicates that he means 10 rely
upon deeds rather than words. Cubans
will feel that no other American would
be received here with such heartfelt re-
joicing. Our people, of all shades of
opinion, will give him all the assistance
in their power"

This Is The Voice OF All.

Ithica, N Y, Dec. 23.-President j. G.
Schurman of Cornell, the head of the
Philippine commission, said relative to
the death of Major General Lawton'
General Lawton's death is a great
public calamity. At the front and in
the very eye of danger, the post he al
ways sought for himself, our prince of
fighters has fallen. In him the army
loses mighty inspiration, the public a
sure Bulwark of confidence. Fearless,
impetuous and always successful, SO
that his very name was in itself the
strength of legions."

Bell OF Colorado.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Mr. Bell Coll
submitted some remarks in criticism Of
the statement in the presidents mes
sage about the prosperous condition Of
the country. He charged that a large
proportion of the alleged prosperity
was fictitious and instanced the case
of the numerous industrial trusts,
which, he said, had been inflated with
wind and tioated. Many of these bub-
bles had been pricked within the last
few days and today the newspapers
were filled with the stories of distrust
in Wall street.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The govern

Rico as the official spelling of the
name of that island, and hereafter all
official documents will adhere to that
form. The board on geographic names
decided in favor of this some years
ago, but the usage has not been uni
form. The board requested from Pres
ident Mckinley an expression of his
views, and in making the decision he
says the name should be Puerto Rico, in
accordance with the custom of the peo-
pie of the island.

New Quarantine Order.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The Secretary
of Agriculture issued the annual order
effective January next, establishing
a federal quarantine against splenetic
or southern fever among cattle. The
order prohibits the transportation of
cattle except under certain regulations
into other territory from the quaran-
tine district which is substantially the
same as last year. The most impor-
tant change is withdrawing from the
quarantine area, that portion of Cali
fornia, north of line drawn easterly
from San Francisco.

SWIFT & co. GET PAY.
Beef Was Property of The Government
When Condemned.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Mr. Trace
well, the comptroller of the treasury
has passed upon the claim of Swift Il
Co., of Chicago for the price of three
hundred thousand pounds of fresh
beef, which, according to contract, was
shipped from Newport News, Va, on
August 5, 1898, for use of the army in
Puerto Rico and was, under orders,
sent from place to place until Septem-
Der when the beef was found to be
unfit for issue and was thrown over
board. The board of survey found
that the loss by spelling of beef was
not due to any negligence or fault on
the part of contractors. The comp
troller finds that at the time of its con-
domination, the beef was the property
of the United States and directs that
the claim be settled accordingly.

same standard Of Morality.

New York, Dec. 22.-The good name
of woman has ever been both in law
and fact her most precious possession.
Equal protection in law has now for
the first time in this country been
thrown around a mans good name by
decision rendered in Brooklyn. In
effect this decision is that both men
and women are to be judged by a sim
gle standard of morality, and that a
charge which is libelous against a
woman is equally libelous against a
man.
