GEN. WHEATON's STATEMENT.

The pesSimists who have been so So
licitous to predict defeat of the forces
of their country in the Philippines, will
not be much comforted by the state
ment of the gallant soldier and expert
enced commander Brigadier General
Wheaton. He is we'll known as a
fighter, discreet, courageous and care
full commanding officer, and a tactician
of high character. The people have
confidence in his Judgment and know
that he would commit himself to no
statements that We're not justified by
clear and carefully iascertained facts.
In an authorized interview General
Wheaton says that when the rein
will be no difficulty, at the change of
the seasons, N crushing the insurrec-
ton of the schemer Aguinaldo. The
troops referred to are being sent for
ward and the supply of forces will be
ample. Therefore the word of General
Wheaton comes with special force His
statement is as follows, it having been
received, says the San Francisco "Bul-
letin," from Manila, from an authori-
tative source, and that the interview
containing it was authorized by Gen
eral Wheaton,
In spite of the doleful tales of the
troubles of the American army in the
Philippines and the reports that the
oil off
ment has an endless war ahead of it,
General Lloyd Wheaton, in whom every
soldier. volunteer and regular alike,
places confidence, believes that the war
will come to a speedy termination in
the winter when the rainy season
closes, provided the Government shall
have well-equipped army at hand at
that time.
The report of an authorized inter-
view with the gallant officer has
reached this city from Manila. 1t is as
follows:
"a little energy on the part of the
army in the fall and winter will soon
close the campaign. The Filipinos can
be driven off the island if necessary if
the Government sends US the men it
promises. The war will end at the
close Of the rainy season.
1.-THE American regulars and volun-
teers deserve all the praise that has
been heaped upon them. Even the
rawest recruits that have been sent
here have, after their first engagement,
showed splendid courage. The older
commands of regulars have done all
that could be asked of men. The volun-
teers are invulnerable. When our new
forces are received and given good
idea of the movements of the enemy
and their method of fighting, the end Of
the rebellion will be near at hand"

IN THE COPPERS,

The Boston and British Columbia
Copper Mining and Smelling Company
offers 100000 shares, par value $40 per
share, fully paid and worcestershire
No personal liability. This corporation
is formed under the laws of the state
of Maine and registered in the province
of British Columbia, Canada. The COM
pany owns the valuable copper proper
ties known as the Standard group Cf
copper mines, consisting of seven fu |
mining claims, containing 375 acres If
mineral land all located in the Revel-
stoke Mining district in the West
Kootenay district of British Columbia,
Canada. The title is absolutely per-
feet, and immense copper ore bodies are
in sight.
The new Isle Royale stock, being the
consolidation of Miners and the old
Isle Royale, was traded in for the first
time yesterday, although the limitation
OF exchange has been extended. The
new stock sold at 70. Saturday the old
closed at 6S, equivalent to 1872 for the
new, one share of the latter replacing
nine-tenths of a share of the old. The
quotations therefore represented a loss
of 312 points.
At the Montana office in Boston it
was said that nothing had been re-
ceived bearing on the dispatch from
Helena, that the receivership would be
dissolved at once and the property put
into the hands of trustees in New York
thus putting it out of the influence of
further adverse litigation. The report
the management said, was news to
them.

THE GENERAL MARKET.

The head of a leading stock exchange
house says: "One large house had been
carrying several hundred thousand
shares of different industrial stocks
prior to last week. That house this
week is carrying not over 10000 shares,
having liquidated the balance last
week. The drop has made the mem
bers of the concern much more con-
sentative than they were. and it is not
again be permitted, unless the stocks
are practically paid for.
A Denver, Col, special to the Trans
cript says: Stanley Revert, manager
of the North American Gold Dredging
Company, is in Denver for the purpose
of experimenting the starting of work
on places on Blue river. He says that
the company will rebuild the big
dredge damaged last fall and build two
new ones, making four altogether,
with a capacity of hundred thousand
cubic yards daily. Heavy SHOWS in
the mountains will facilitate this work
greatly during the summer.
The pool or whatever it is that is
working in Mexican Telephone stock
possesses the virtue of industry. There
is really very little about this stock to
boom IL on, albeit 1t is probably en-
titled to a rise proportionate to any rise
in Mexican Central securities. The
company appears to be doing fairly
well, and the introduction of the me-
tallic circuit promises an increase OF
revenue One difficulty in realizing
this improvement is the inability to OBJ
tain transmitters from the Western
Electric Company. This company has
a monopoly Of the manufacture Of tel
ephone apparatus and cannot supply
the demand.

TRADING COUPONS.
Traders Supply Co. Bobs Again After
Some Months of SeclusIon.

The legality of the mode of opera
ton of the Traders Supply Company is
again before the courts in another
phase, and yesterday there was a hear
ing in the jury-waived court, before
Judge John Hopkins, in the case Of
Haley Hicks against Frank Miller &s
Co., doing business as the Traders
Supply Company. The case is an action
to recover back from the defendants
$50 paid for stamps or trading coupons.
The plaintiff claims that the stamps
were sold in violation Of the statutes
of the commonwealth, particularly I'M
der chapter 277, acts of 1884, which was
an act to prevent the exchange or sale
of property under the inducement that
gift or prize is to be paid as a part
of the transaction.
He also claims that the sale was in
unlawful restraint of trade, intended
to promote gambling, and as also being
contrary to public policy. An agreed
statement of facts was presented to
the court, and briefs will be submitted
later in the week. 1t will be remem-
bered that it was last year, after the
agitation against the trading coupon
scheme had become so violent, that the
legislature passed an express statute
against the trading coupons. Suili&1n

c9oward. Croshv & CO Boston Letter.l !

Wheat opened very slow this morning
and although the government report was
a trifle better than was expected, II was
not sensationally different from private
estimates The weather map showed a
perfect spring condition, with high tenn
peratures which continued to offset the
unfavorable crop news, which came IN
freely, and Liverpool quotations were
practically unchanged, with foreign
houses not conspicuous on either side OF
the market.
The Michigan state report gave winter
wheat condition as p. against 70 by the
government. and this started shorts to
covering and quickly advanced the mar
ket nearly &c. from low point, but II
sagged off later The government report
a rs indicates a yield of 1928 bushels per
acre. and this on the estimated acreage
would equal $4,000 900 bushels. Bradstreet
world visible showed decrease of 39l, 900.
The principal encouraging factors are the
strength lately shown by continental mar
kets. and with the many bad reports re-
ceived daily we can only see one side to
the market.
The New York stock market was almost
uniformly strong today. and prices adj
vanced from the start. The tone of spec
ulations growing more confident as the
morning advanced, and there was excel
lent buying of the general list. The merry
BUSINESS caused by Fridays liquidations
seems to have worn off, and matters are
running along much as formerly, but
with smaller volume of business.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, April 11.-Bullish conf
dence prevailed in influencing stock
prices today, which advanced almost
continuously, slight set-backs bringing
new buyers. The final dealings were
in large volume bringing the total to
nearly three-quarters Of a million
shares. There was continuous sup
port by large operators, accompanied
by optimistic utterances.
Potent allies of higher prices were

ITS IN THE TRUST.
Worcester Theatre in
Control of Chas.
FrOhman.
ROCK is MANAGER.
Big Improvements Are to
Be Made All
Around.

Worcester Theatre is to be leased for
term of five years to Felix R. Wen
delschaefer, manager and lessee of the
Providence Opera House. He will be
associated with Klaw & Erlanger and
Charles Frohman of New York. Mr.
Rock, the present manager, will con-
tinue to be resident manager. The new
! lease goes into effect July 1. The pres
ent season will be finished under the
present arrangement. For four or five
years the theatre has not been leased
1t has been run by the corporation with
Mr.. Rock as manager. Previous to that
arrangement he had the lease alone for
time, and then in partnership with
Mr.. Brooks.
Under the new arrangement the Wor-
| cester Theatre passes into the control
of the famous theatrical trust. The
| lease is made to Mr.. Wendelschaefer
| but his private arrangements with Mr.
Frohman and Klaw & Erlanger, the
managers of the trust, are such as tc
give them indirect control. The trust
takes up only good shows and any
| house that is in its control is sure tC
! get good shows.
| Mr. Wendelschaefer will be in charge
of two important theatres in New Eng
| land, and may possibly be in charge OF
| others later. He is able to give more at
| tentiOn to the houses than could the
New York men. He is practically theil
| general agent, while Mr.. Rock, as resi-.
| dent manager, becomes the local agent
! The Providence Opera House is the
| principal theatre of Providence, anC
| Mr.. Wendelschaefer has been extreme
| ly successful there With the two
houses under the same management il
| is to be expected that every show thai
| goes to Providence will come here also
| That means that Worcester will see
| every show that goes out from New
| York.
| F. H. Dewey, president of the boarC
| of directors of the Worcester Theatre
corporation, said yesterday that he be-
! lieved the new arrangement would be
| highly satisfactory to every one con
cerned, and he expected the Worcester
| Theatre to have a better season neXt
year than it has ever had in the past.
| The owners of the Worcester Theatre
will hereafter have nothing to do witt
! it's management. Any changes that are
made will be made by the lessees. The
| owners are assured of certain profits
and the lessees will have to look ou
! for the rest.
| Local theatrical men recall that Mr.
| Wendelschaefer was formerly leader OF
the orchestra at the Providence Opera
| House and married the daughter Of
| Manager Morrow When Mr.. Morrow
| died Mr.. WendelsChaefer secured the
! lease. He Immediately made many i'm
provements and put the house on {
metropolitan basis. 1t is believed thai
| Mr.. Wendelschaefer is quite likely tC
have some changes made here, such as
stage improvements, reorganization OF
| the force of attaches, etc. Mr.. Wendell
schaefer will see to it that the theatre
orchestra is a good one.
1t is said that the present season al
the theatre has been an especially gOoC
one, from a financial standpoint. Wor-
| cester people are now educated to pa
| trOniZe good shows.

MARKET NOTES.

The proposed combination of manu-
facturers of rubber fabrics, webbing,
etc, is progressing satisfactorily. The
capitalization of the new company will
probably exceed $4,000, 900, the reported
figure. The new company will not be
a competitor of the United States Rub
Der Company, even in the most remote
way.
The Allouez Company has struck a
rich body of copper in the Osceola lode.
Whether it is more than bunch will
be determined later. State street could
not wait for revelations, but bid the
stock up a point and One-half. The
companys agent described it as good
copper in the bottom of the shaft
official estimates are that the March
output of anthracite coal was 3,411,00O
tons.
A large steel company is said to have
recently renewed contract previously
broken by the Russian government. The
original figure was SIS per ton, but the
new contract calls for $24 per ton, Il
difference on the transaction of S4O0,OU0.
Calumet people are excited over re-
port of q rich strike at the AlloueZ cop
per mine. The strike is said TO be the
biggest ever made in the mine.
The Fitchburg contemplates a short
extension Of its lines in New York.
Meanwhile the work of Contracting
the road just outside of this city is pc
ing pushed rapidly. The work neces-
sary is of considerable extent, and in
wolves the construction Of retaining
walls and the rebuilding of at least
four bridges. These will probably 5l
replaced with steel structures.
F. A. Rogers & Company say: Our
New York representative wires us re-
garding the recent break in the market
as follows: Some Of the weaker com
mission houses We're simply forced TO
sell stocks because of unwillingness of
money lenders to accept collateral they
offered in loans Mone- lenders knew
that these particular bidders were over
trading in the industrials and did not
care to make loans with them. This
helped to create alarm and induced sell
ing Of stocks by those houses. There is
nothing to change our opinion on wheat
and cotton. and we advocate the pur-
chase of both commodities, as wheat
some day will surprise its best friends. 80

MONEY STILL HIGH.
Outlook in Railroads APP
pears To Be More
Cheerful.

Prices in the New York and Boston
stock markets have improved. Money
ruled at to per cent in Wall street
yesterday and was in ample supply for
all market needs. People who held in
dustrials seemed to be well able to take
care of them and their market was
active.
Sugar was up 81, Tobacco .. Cont
mental Tobacco AS, Peoples Gas 33s,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit "A, Federal
Steel 3, preferred 212, Leather preferred
2, International Paper , and Steel &
Wire 2. This shows little lasting effect
on the trusts Of the discrimination
against such shares by banks. AS has
been said, the weak holders probably
have been shaken out and those into
whose hands the stocks have gone are
quite able to take care of them.
AS to the general market, New York
Central was up ,, c. 3. & Q. "a, and
Lackawanna g. The market maintained
its strength through the day with toll
cradle activity and at y. m. showed
an average in leading stocks "a higher
THAN DIT tue NlOSt y ester QGA.
Sentiment respecting railway stocks
was more cheerful, owing to a higher
average than expected for winter
wheat, indicated by the government es-
innate, which was less unfavOrable
than feared, and large increase in St.
Pauis earnings for the first week in
March This circumstance met consid-
cradle favor on the other side, and a
higher level was recorded for interna-
tional shares. Call money rates stead
led at six per cent and expectations
that stringency in the market will be
avoided after this weeks financial OPP
erations are concluded impaired CON
siderable firmness to the speculation.
The inquiry for stocks was very gen
eral, and the stability of the railroad
group created confidence as to the i'm
mediate market operations in the spec
ialties which were not attended with
their recent gyratiOns, and the group
generally moved strongly upward with
Sugar, the Tobacco shares and the
flower issues prominent.
There is an absence of any special
new feature in the copper market. De-
mand is not So active, but a fairly
steady tone prevails and lake cannot
be quoted under 1914 a 1Siac.
Bankers hold the view that money
rates should rule high for a while yet.
They admit that there has been very
satisfactory liquidation and that the
position is stronger than it was but
nevertheless they claim that the sit
uation calls for strong money mar
ket for some time to come.
The following quotations were made on
the Boston exchange yesterday on stocks
held in Worcester and vicinity:

forted with the thought that it will

held a different opinion for which they
were willing to face shot and shell,
and for which heroism the present &C.
