News that effected the stock market this
morning iRcluded the probability that part
at least of the employees of the MetrGpoli-
tan Traction Company and the Manhattan
line will join the Brooklyn strikers, and
the statement by a competent authority
that there is no likelihood of the Bank OF
England further increasing its discount
rate. The overwhelming Importance of The
money situation in the minds OF Street
people was shown early in the session by
the better tone of the market. Despite the
fact that the labor troubles cannot on the
whole be said TO have been improved in the
past tgenty-four hours, there was better
buying of the general list this morning
than for two or three days past, and sew
eral securities advanced spiritedly.

The strike situation in Greater New
York had little effect on the street rail-
way securities during the morning hours,
and it was seen that their friends were
supporting them by taking all the stock
that timid holders offered. 1t is most
uncertain situation, however, and it can
not be doubted that any one of these Sc
curities is heavy risk at the present
time.
The evening times., 1899-07-19

The money situation is an interesting one
and il is of course impossible to foretell
what y'til be its outcome. If the Bank OF
England does not increase its discount rate
the possibility that gold will be exported
is remote. With this factor eliminated
there is at least a fair prospect that the
New York banks will be able to hold their
own during the coming months when the
drains from the interior are usually heav-
lest The help of the interior banks may
be counted on 10 a certain extent.

The Street has heard much favorable
news regarding the Leather Trust recently
and this morning il was seen that the
clique in Leather had gotten ready TO act.
There was a quick advance to 73 in the
first hour, a gain of nearly two points
from yesterdays level. The facts as to
the leather trade are indisputable. There
has been a large advance in the price OF
all grades of leather which will directly
benefit the Trust $4,000. 600 or more in its
yearly business if it is kept up. An in
creased dividend, or at least an extra, is
expected.

curities was heard in the Street.

DEFENDS THE BOYCOTT.
Samuel G0mPers Says 1t Is n Legal
and Proper Weapon for
Labor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Federation
of Labor was the only witness before the
industrial commission to-day. Speaking
of the union label, Mr.. Gompers said that
there were thirty-seven different orsaniza-
tions now using the label, and that it was
growing in popularity very rapidly. He de-
Tended the boycott as legal and proper
weapon for workingmen. holding that
what they had a right as individuals to do,
they were justified in uniting with others
to do
In reply to a question, Mr.. Gompers said
that organized labor views trusts simply
as their employers There had been cases
in which the organizations had been bene-
fitted by combinations of capital. 1t was
too early to decide whether men would
be more steadily employed by the trusts
than by other employers. He said that
these combinations have more influence in
securing legislation than had unorganized
capital. He took position against the
cooperative schemes, saying that expert
ence had proved that laborers secured no
greater advantages under them than under
the wage system. He had TO fear of
the future for organized labor. The con-
dition of labor was better to-day than ever
before and he attributed the Improvement
to the influence of organized labor. Mr.
Gompers favored an amendment to the
constitution fixing a maximum of hours
per day for labor. Speaking of the effect
of advanced labor legislation in different
states. he said there would be no back
ward step.

GRANT ESCAPES FROM PRISON.
The Kansas City Convict Scales Peni-
tentiary Walls and Gets


JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 20.-(Special)
John Grant, a convict, sent from Kansas
City under sentence of twelve years for
burglary and larceny, escaped from the
penitentiary last night after midnight. He
was temporarily an inmate of the prison
hospital and got away by scaling the wall
of the hospital yard After getting away
he burglarized the residences of Jesse w.
Henry, A. J. Shockley, Mrs ]. S. Fleming
and Ben Deekum, securing enough clothing
at the various places to discard his suit
of stripes. He has not yet been captured
although vigorous search for him has
been in progress. As usual in such cases
the prison officials offer reward for his
return. While going through the residence
of Mr.. Henry that gentleman was awak-
ened, but Grant told him to remain quiet
or his head would be blown off.

HARRY GILsTRAP's OPINION.
Says Methods of "stntehood Boomers''
Are Open to Severe Crfti-

GUTHRIE, o. T, Nov. 2e.-tSpeciaD
Harry B. Gilstrap does not agree with the
statehood advocates of Oklahoma in their
manner of campaign. He says, in his
Chandler News:
while we are willing to grant that
the statehood boomers may be reasonably
honest in their efforts, their methods are
open to severe criticism. Instead OF seek
ing for the fullest expression from the
great mass of the people on the questions
pertaining TO statehood. they are content
with the expression of minority, and
they seek TO shut out from their confer
ences and conventions any objections to
the programme which they may have out
ventions are nearly always chosen by a
dozen or two men at the. county seat
men who may or may not know what the
people out through the country really want
There has never been a representative
statehood convention held in Oklahoma;
one in which the delegates were chosen
| with the care that is given to the selec-
ton OF delegates to party convention. In
one or two conventions We have known
| measures to be taken which would pre-
| vent a vote being taken squarely on the
question of immediate statehood. and this
for the reason that delegations were known
TO be in the convention who were opposed
| to statehood. In most conventions that
| have been held the representation has
not been apportioned on the basis of pop
ulation, but, instead, the sparsely-settled
counties have generally had the same num-
| Der of delegates as those counties with
four or five times greater population. 1t
| is known that there are men in Oklahoma
| who are impatient for statehood. not mere
| ly because OklahomaS condition demands
| it, but for the reason that they have an IN
| growing desire to be governors. senators,
| congressman, judges, or something else

pie only had chance to elect such officers,

GEMS WORTH s5O,0OO BROUGHT

In POCKETS AND OLD SHOES
SEIZED BY CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND
SMUGGLER SENT TO JAIL.
Cable Message Brought the Tip Which
Led to the Search for the Pearls
-Culprit Is u Providence,
Rhode Island, Dealer
In Gems.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-Ten thousand
smuggled pearls of all sizes, some inita-
ton and some genuine, were taken to the
custom house to-day and spread out in
Collector Bidwell's Office. Tomorrow they
Will be taken to the appraisers stores,

upon their value. The pearls were seized
by Special Treasury Agent Theobald from
Francois Book, dealer in jewels and
gems, Of Providence, r. l. Book arrived
on the French liner, Bretagne, but pre-
ceding him had come cable message
to the customs officials telling that the
Providence man had pearls of great price
in his possession. To the inspector, Book
declared he had nothing dutiable. He de-
clared also he was going to Mexico at
once. and said nothing about his business
in Providence, SO Special Agent Theobald
and the inspectors made a rigid exami-
nation into his baggage and his pockets.
In Books trunks were three pairs of
worn shoes, tied together, heel and toe,
and wrapped compaetly in newspapers. In
side each pair of shoes were many pack
ages of half pearls. There were two
quarts of the gems altogether. They were
Of all sizes, and, until the experts ex-
anime them. it will not be known what
are genuine and what are imitation.
These half pearls are used extensively
in the manufacture of jewelry. Both true
and false are dutiable.
When the officers had secured the pearls
from Books trunk, they examined his
wearing apparel. In the inside pocket of
his topcoat they found a package contain
ing forty beautiful specimens. In the tail
pocket of his cutaway coat was another
package, and there were more in other
pockets. The custom officials are inclined
to think that the pearls found on Books
person are genuine, and that the others
are possibly limitations. A rough estimate
of the value of the entire seizure is $780,
CO.,
Book does not speak English. He said
he was born in Austria and had gone from
Triest to Paris. Special Agent Theobald
has learned of a trip that Book made from
Paris to this country last May, and Te-
grets that Books baggage was not search
| ed at that time. Book spent Sunday night
| in the police station and to-day was taken
| before United States Commissioner Shields
| and held in $500 bail. He said he had
no means of securing bail and went to
Ludlow street Jail.
The treasury agents say they have nc
| evidence to show that Book had any ac-
completes.

HEROIC DiSINFECTION.
Sulphur Fumes and Bichloride of Mer-
curry Used to Kill BubOpic
Plague and Rats.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The patients re-
moved from the steamer ]. W. Taylor, suf-
fering from bubonic plague, are improving.
DR.. L'Hommedieu said to-day after visit
to the patients:
THE patients are doing as well as can
be expected, and L have every reason to
believe that all danger of infection from
those patients is passed. l say this because
the cultures made by DR.. Fitzpatrick show
negative result. No trace of the germ
of bubonic plague was found. This indi-
Gated that the disease had run its course
and that the germs do not exist in the pa
tients. We have at our laboratory an am
pie supply of bubonic plague serum, but ii
was not necessary to use it in these cases,
as the patients were convalescing when
they arrived ~
The holds of the steamer have been SUBJ
jected TO the fumes of sulphur almost con-
tnuously since arrival Each hatchway has
a sheet or shaft to the bottom of the hold
for ventilation. 1t Is expected that the sui
phur fumes will penetrate through these
ventilators and kill all rats that may bt
in the holds. The discharge of the cargo
has been delayed owing to the inability OF
the agents of the steamer to make the ar.
rangements required by the quarantine
officials.
When the cargo is discharged the holds
will be cleansed and washed down with 6
solution of bi-chloride of mercury. Ther
another sulphur fumigation will be giver
to kill the rats that may remain. Steam
will be also used as final remedy. The
crew will be subjected to a detehtion o
fifteen days for observation to comply witt
| the rules formulated by the federal quar-
aDtine authorities.
After receiving the bacteriologists' re
port Acting Health Officer +. b. Sanfort
| issued the following statement:
In view of the many unofhcial and un
authorized reports now in circulation II
regard to the cases of bubonic plague OF
| the steamship ]. w. Taylor. deem it ad
