WANT TROOPS KEPT.
Petition From Residents In Cevr
d'AIene District Filed.

Washington, March 29.-rhe CRur
d Alene Investigation opened with no
outward evidence of the recent exciting
events, although there was considerable
good natured raillery among members
as to when the first round" would be
called. Governor Steunenberg was again
on the staud, with Representative Lentz
conducting the cross examination.
The evidence was on unimportant de-
tails until Governor Steunenberg was
questioned as to Il recent petition from
the Cuur d'Alene district, asking the
secretary of war to retain fedcrnl troops
there This petition has not yet been
presented to the federal authorities, and
the committee went into executive ses
sion to determine what to do with the
document.
The committee decided in executive
session to file the petition from In,
Cnrur d'Alene district with the secretary
Of war, and in the meantime it will not
be made public. 1t is understood. how
ever. that it is an extensive document
bearing about 1.JO0 names, and states
in substance that, while people at IL dis
lance may regard the policy adopted by
the governor and military authorities as
harsh, vet the signers fully uphold
the policy adopted and consider necessary
to overcome the lawlessness and dis
order which, it is stated, have existed
for some time. 1t requests the secretary
of war to continue the guard of troops
in the Cnur d. .Alene district.
Governor Steunenberg's examination
was resumed at the open session, devel-
oping little additional, and the commit
tee soon adjourned.

agreement in every step take and not

Violent Fall in Sugar Certif-
Gates Held the Market in
Check sterday.
DIVIDEND CUT INTIMATED
Fall was Directly Cue to President
Havemeysr's Intimation---Dis-
Guidance in IndustriaIs.
Gossip of the
Street.

A violent fall in sugar certificates veg
terdav held the stock market in check,
but the list taken collectively showed
striking indifference to the movement.
London was again the sustaining factor.
but the influeI ce OF the foreign buying
was neutralized by incipient weakness
in the steel stocks and Peoples Gas, the
two factors creating an irregular trend of
pricee.
The depression in sugar certificates
was directly due to an interview with
President navemyer intimating further
cut in the dividend rate as a consequence
of the improbable state of the trade.
The stock opened wide and excited,
dropping ii before noon on extensive
trading, and in its wake weakness de-
veloped in nearly all the industrials.
This induced profit-taking in other direc-
tions, but the market displayed recuper-
ative power and soon recovered the early
losses.
Some little disturbance was noticed in
the in nstrials. Tobacco went lower.
Another advance of 4c. was made yes
