GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, January 10.-Todays mar
ket was favorably influenced during the
opening hour by the more cheerful attf-
tude of London. The satisfactory progress
of the fortnishtly settlements at the CEN
ter, the presence of a short account said to
be in the neighborhood of 100000 shares
and easier rates for money were the fac
tors which Influenced the foreign demand
for Americans. This buying served to
couEteract the natural preference for lower
prices on the part of the room.
The railroad list held fairly well, but
there is no indication that the time for cx-
tensive buying has arrived. The profess
sional features of the market are still pro-
nounced and the Indifference of the million
aire party discourages new undertakings
at this time. The monotony OF the market
was relieved by a sensational decline in
American Sugar, more than IL per cent
being deducted from its final price of yes
terday.
This selling was due to President Have
meyers ambiguous utterances as to the
dividend policy of the company. The state
ment recites at some length the desira-
bility of keeping the dividend rate at a
point which will insure the ability to profit
ably conduct trade wars and to control
the raw product.
After concluding that the wisdom of the
directory will prompt the necessary policy
the report ends without any definite express
sion as to the actual dividend capacity of
the Company. The street heard the report
and construed 1t to mean an immediate re-
duction of the dividend. Wagers were.
offered that the next rate would be less
than the usual quarterly per cent. Some
houses were inclined to the belief that the
report was merely preparatory to a future
reduction and was intended to prepare in
vestors for the change.
Traders were disposed to attribute the
largest buying on the decline to inside in
terests. This view is the cynical estimate
OF all the public utterarces of the Sugar
management, which has grown familiar in
speculative circles. Whatever may be said
OF the excuse given, 1t Is reasonably certain
that the larger interests want the price of
the stock down.
Under ordinary conditions such sharp
decline would have materially unsettled the
whole market This was not true today
however. the railroads holding remarkably
well. Baltimore and Ohio. the Nanderbilts'
and all the Pacific stocks find a ready mar
ket OF all declines. This latter group is
the one upon which all commission house
interest is centered 1t is believed that the
nrst general advance will occur under the
leadership of the shares named Money
was easy during the day, and the banks are
again writing loans.

UNITED STATES UNIVERSITY.
Bill Approved by the National Com
mittee Introduced In the Senate.

Bill Approved ny the National SOm-
mittee Introduced in the Senate.
The national committee bill, to establish
the University Of the United States, al
ready twice approved by the Senate COM
mittee, but not acted upon. was introduced
Monday in the Senate with amendments
designed to put the purpose of its trainers
and supporters beyond the possibility OF
doubt.
The object is declared to be the advance
ment of knowledge by means of instruc-
ton, exclusively postgraduate and special,
and by original research and investigation
for the benefit CT mankind
The board of regents Qor financial man
agement is to include the President of
the United States, the chief justice of the
United States, commissioner of education,
the secretary Of the Smithsonian Instftu-
ton, the president of the university, and
representatives of various national organi-
cations, members eX-officio, and six ap-
pointees of the President of the United
States to be confirmed by the Senate. The
university council Gor educational contro)
will include, besides the said board of re-
gents, representatives, one each, from the
more advanced institutions of learning in
the country.
Section eight provides that neither secta-
Ran nor partisan preferences shall be al
lowed in any form.
Section nine opens the lectures and other
deemed competent to use them, authorizing
the granting of certificates for work actual
ly done, but reserves full membership in
the institution to those having at least such
attanments as are represented by bacca-
laureate degree and empowers the board
of regents to confer such degrees as may
be deemed advisab BILE upon the recommen-
dation of the president of the university and
the university council
Section ten authorizes the university to
establish such cooperative relations with
other institutions of learning as may be
deemed mutually advantageous.
The bill makes no provision for congress
sionai appropriations, but grants to the
university the grounds in Washington city
which were reserved by President Washing
ton a site for national university, and
also grants such use of government facli-
ties for postgraduate study. research and
investigation as can be accorded without
detriment to the public service. On the
other hand. it makes the university sub
ject to such acquisitions from the govern
ment for scientific Investigations and re-
ports as may be deemed desirable.
Friends of the measure believe that the
bill. as amended, meets every serious OBJ
lection heretofore made or that can be
offered. and count with confidence on its
easy passage, after due consideration.

LABOR UNION AT ASYLUM.
Two Hundred st. Elizabeth Employe
Included in Organizations.

Nearly 300 male attendants of the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane are in
cluded in the recent organization there of
labor union, under the auspices of the A
+. of L.. the step having been taken in the
belief that longer hours of work with
smaller wages than those received
was the program to be adopted by the new
superintendent of the asylum, DR.. A. 3.
Richardson
SO far the fears that led the attendants
to establish labor union in an institution
" hich has never known such an organiza-
ton before among the house employees have
not been realized. 1t is stated also that
there is not and will not be any struggle
between the attendants and Dr. Richard
son as to the existence of the organizatio
within the asylum The superintendent is
to be informed by a committee of the ac-
ton taken. and. it is stated will be assured
that there is no disposition to rebel against
the rules formulated or to be hereafter
made.
Until the contingency arises for which the
men We're banded together, it is stated by
persons having knowledge of the affair. no
difficulty is likely to arise between the SUI
perintendent and the labor organizations or
the employees who are members of the union
a. the asylum.
A couple of weeks ago. before there was
any general understanding that a union
would be formed among the attendants. DIR.
Richardson had circulated among the in
stltulioH eiuployeS paper WHICH an were
requested to sign. This paper is to the eff
feet that the persons signing agree. en-
ployes. to abstain from any concerted ac-
ton looking to the demand for other
regulations or requirements Of service
other than those established by the pres
ent boardsof visitors and the superinten-
dent. No one has been forced to sign the
paper, which is still going its rounds. 1t
has received many signatures. however,
especially among the female employees who
are not as frightened at its terms, it is
stated, as are their male colleagues.
For several years there has been man
ifested at St. Elizabeth's a desire to have
some action taken, congressional or other
wise, that would result in fixing limit Of
the attendants working hours. 1t is de-
clared the eight-hour system is unknown
among them. They work whenever called
upon. day or night, and they say they con-
slider twelve hours an average days work.
Frequently, it is said. they put in more
time than this even. There is considerable
talk being INDUCED in. now that a labor or
ganization has been formed there. of an at
tempt to secure the consideration of Con-
gress in the matter of hours and wages at

Theft ofsa Valuable Charm.

Representative DASener Reports the
Theft ofsa Valuable Charm.
The report of another robbery alleged to
have been committed in Wizards Hotel
was made to thepelfee last night. A watch
charm, the pr9perty,of Representative B.
B. Dovener of West Virginia. was reported
to have been taken from his room. The
charm was made present to Mr.. Dovener
by friends in San francisco three years
ago. Yesterday morning he went to break
fast at 10 o'clock, leaving his watch chain
and charm on the dresser. After breakfast
he put his timepiece in his pocket and
went to the Capitol. 1t was not until 4
o'clock In the afternoon that he discovered
his loss. Then he reported the case to the
police and detectives made an investiga-
ton. Mrs. Dovener fastened the charm to
the fob chain in a way that it could not
have been lost, she says, and for this rea-
son it is believed it was stolen. A diamond
set in the charm made the article the more
valuable intriusically/
The detectives are still investigating the
loss of Representative Robertson's jewelry
but no arrests have been made 1t is their
belief that the hotel sneak who committed
the robbery left the city shortly after he
completed his work.
