SEIZURE OF uERMAN SHIPS.
One Owner Admits Contraband Was
Discharged at Port Said.

Hamburg Jan. S.-Herr Adolph
Woermann, one of the owners of the
German vessels which were seized by
the British, was interviewed today by
representative of the Associated
Press. He said:
"The last ship taken is the Horzog.
She has on board the Dutch. Belgian
and German ambulance corps. All
these We're travelling bona fide under
the Red Cross. 1t is certainly the first
time such a corps has been detained
by a hostile government. Their SER
vices were offered to the British, but
were refused. We cannot help consid-
ering the action of the British as in
tended chiefly to prevent the German
East African line from continuing its
service on account of it's competition
against lines We consider the seiZ.
ures entirely illegal and against every
thing that until now has been consid-
cred the law of nations. The actions
of the British authorities are simply
those of brutal force, and what the
consequences will be we cannot say.
So far, in both the case of the Bund-
esrath and that of the General. the
only representations made by Great
Britain consist in the allegation that
they are suspected of carrying con-
traband.' The directors of the German
East African have not the least doubt
that the vessels have no contraband
on board. Every precaution was taken,
We went so far even as to discharge
at Port Said and Der-es-Salaam art!-
cles of war shipped on board our
steamships previous to the outbreak Of
hostilities.
Regarding the passengers. many 81
them are known to us as regular pa"
irons OF the line. II was known that
other persons intended to go to the
Transvaal, and, while there might be
some adventurers anxious to profit by
the prospects there. there was not. so
far as the directors could ascertain.
one passenger travelling to the Trans
yaal to serve in it's army"
Herr Woermann is not only a large
ship owner but one of the largest Ger
man investors in the East African
possessions, He is a personal friend Of
Emperor william. and it Is generally
understood is carrying out imperial
wishes in regard to African COLOMBIA.

THE MARKETS.



New York, Jan. s.--The volume Of
trading in stocks today was on small
scale and a disposition was manifest
In Wall street to await the develop.
ment OF events before taking on stocks
The sensitiveness of the market to the
influence of foreign events was a lead
Ing motive. Not outstanding the dow,
ward course of interest rates in Lon
don and on the continent, 1t is clear
that there is need Of more money
abroad. Foreign observers of good
authority offer the suggestion that the
present ease of money abroad Is due
to artificial causes on governmental in
itiative. In English it is evident that
the purpose of this manoeuvre IL to
prepare the money market for placing
government loans at an Vantage. In
Germany 1t Is designed to strengthen
confidence and help out the vast indus
trial interests.
In any event the effect Is to draw
gold from New York under pressure
and to send American securities home
to market. Foreign exchange houses
assert that the present level of dis.
count In London leaves no margin of
profit on the special attraction offered
by the Bank Of England on loans to be
repaid In gold. The arriving ship
fnents Of American gold a,n the cause
OF current ease in London discounts.
How long the ease would endure IN
face of n cessation Of the shipments is
doubtful. Meantime. rates for money
at interior poirts IN this G, untry are
rising sharply, ana Il is a question how
long the New York market could look
to that source to replenish a drain to
the London market. In these circum-
stances there Is little disposition in
American financial circles to hold up
prices of securities merely to afford a
market for foreign liquidation.
In today's market opening prices
were well down to or below the London
parity and so long as arbitrage SELL
ing was in evidence they were allowed
to remain there or nearly 80. Later in
the day there was a sharp recovery ir
prices when the pressure of the Lon
don selling ceased. This recovery was
partly due to London itself. which
bought back a few stocks sold earlier
in the day on General Whites report
of repulse of the Beers at Lady
smith. While there was NJ effort to
Dlu up prices tnefe was goo aDSOfp-
tion at the recessions. some very
heavy blocks of prominent railroad
stocks being taken on. New Jersey
Central was bid up 3Ia points on the
increase Of the dividend rate without
any sale. Sugar, Brooklyn Transi: and
some of the iron stocks recovered
sharply from early weakness. The
demand late in the day in the general
list found such very light supply that
prices hardened steadily to about Sat-
urdays closing level. Net losses were
reduced to fractions where they were
not entirely wiped out. Total sales,
459 100 shares.
Dealings in bonds were on a small
scale and the tone was heavy, with u
few rallies in sympathy with stocks
Total sales par value. $1,3O0,OO0.
United States bonds were unchanged

AIMS TO AVOID REPETITION OF
HAYEs-TILDEN AFFAIR.

Amendments to the Constitution
Are Fully Discussed - Speaker
Maintains That the Attempt to
Force the Black Race Into Politi-
cal Equality Is a Clog to the Pro-
gress of Mankind-Proceedings of
the .aouse.

Washington, Jan. S.-During a dis
cussioh In the senate today Of a reso-
lution or inquiry offered by Mr.. Petit
grew (South Dakota). some sensational
statements were made regarding The
attitude of the United States towards
the Philippine insurgents. Mr.. Petit
grew declared that this government:
had attacked its allies and thereby had
been guilty of the grossest treachery.
This statement was resented warmly
by Mr. Lodge (MassD. who declared
that this government rad done nothing
of the kind and that not even remot ely
had 1t recognized the SPECIALIZED govern.
ment Of the F'ilipinos.
Mr.. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) discussed
at length the race question in the
south, basing his remarks upon reso-
luton offered by Mr. Pritchard (Rep..
N. CO.. He deemed 1t imperative that
some course should be adopted which
would prevent repetition Of the
Hayes-Tilden controversy, and dis
cussed fully the fourteenth and iif-
teenth amendments to the Constitu-
tion. He maintained that to attempt.
to force the black race into a social
race was only to clog the progress Of
all mankind. The speech was a strong
appeal for action that would benefit
both races and a defense of the new
Constitutions Of Louisiana and North
Carolina.
