 The quotations of Americans caused Ger mans to realize largely on their holdings The heavy amount of American securities recently sold In London and especially in New York, changed the banking balances in favor of Germany, which, in view of the Frankfuerter zeitung, relieves the mar ket here of all fear of gold exports.

 According to the Frankfuerter Zeitung the syndicate of American bankers who were in negotiation with Switzerland re- garding the loan for railway ndtionallza- tion broke off the negotiations because the Swiss government desires to issue the loan on Swiss money, and the bankers demand a foreign loan amounting to something be- tween 150 GOO and 300 900 GOO.

LONDON MARKET.
Business Was Active Throughout the
 Week in All Lines.


 London, November 25.-Business on the stock exchange last week was conducted on a scale larger than for months aast The advance established in American and home railroad securities stimulated deal ings in other departments The tendency, however now is to realize. The movements are irregular, although the market on the whole is steady. What is termed the "star- spangled boom," is steadily rising. The American market still leads the exchange and the public has be- gun to take more ac- tive part with large speculative and in vestment purchases and occasional reali- zatons
 Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Chesa- peake and Ohio, Denver and Rio Grande and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe stocks were in special demand throughout the week; and in spite of some checks, the undertone of the market was good Yes terday's prices, however. although the closing figures were above the worst, showed general decline.

Increase In Female Vote.

FTOHl NI NtWs.
 More women voted last Tuesday for President than ever before in the history of this country. It is estimated that 5000 of them voted in Colorado, 31, ,000 in Utah, 11,S00 in Idaho and $500 in Wyoming. It is a remarkable fact, as reported from each of the States named, that the women cast their votes against women holding office. Denver dispatch says that 1t was the votes of the women that carried Colo rado for Bryan. In that State about 40 per cent of the total vote was cast by women.

 Although the Emperor of China Is rec ognized and supported by the armies of the allies, it appears from the current news that the empress dowager is still in authority. It is she that is giving orders to the Chinese troops and directing their campaign against the rebels, and 1t is evident that, so long as she Is free from personal restraint, she will either rule or make lror1ele.

 Aid of the President.
 Denver. Col, Dec 22.-Dr Joseph Gu neU, Italian consul here, made an aD- peal to Governor Thomas for prOtec- tion of his cOuntrymcn involved in ;l threatened race war at Florence. His leQuC st was that pressure be brought on the Fremont county authorities to exercise all precautions at their com- lnaEG to prevent an outbreak ana necessary to call out the militia. The consul also wired the Italian ambassa- dor at Washington to appeal to Presi- dent Mckinley for federal aid should the state authorities be unable to cope with the situation.
 The threatened trouble is the result of importation of a number of Italians to work ill SmCltcr for the treatment of gold orc. The mill and shelter mems union have objected but no seri- OuS action has been taken though tircats' arc said to have been made. Edward Seed. an Gmploye of the smell ter. was killed yesterday. apparently by accident, by one of the Italians. This incident has increased the bitter feeling and q race war has been pre- GictCd.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
James w. Robinson Found Not Guilty l of Non -Sunnort


 of Non-Support.
 After an absence of three days Judge Burpee presided at city court this morning. A respectable appear ing man answering to the name of James W. Robinson was charged with non support of his wife. The latter testified that it is impossible for her to get along with her husband and that she was forced to leave him five weeks ago. He took their two chil- dren, boys, aged 9 and years old respectively, and told them they were looking on their mother for the last time She has not seen them since and does not know where they are. Gradually, she said. her husband is disposing of the furniture. Robinson was then allowed to tell his story and he placed a different complexion on the matter. He said that his wife voluntarily left him and would not take the children because they would be a burden to her. Moreover. she took in man boarder who got drunk every night and at all hours so that for weeks the idea of locking the door was out of the question. He objected to this man being ill the house but his wife would not discharge the fellow and she made things in general so uncomfortable for him that he could not tolerate the situation. At length, however. the boarder did go and soon after the wife followed. The court found Robinson not guilty and said that under the circumstances she should not expect her husband 10 sup port her.
 Christopher Garitv, the special DC liccman, was charged with violation of q city ordinance. which fOrbids wa ter to run over the sidewalk Clarity has property near the Ridge street school honse and the water from the lot flows through Garity'S an1 thence over onto the sidewalk. Originally thc school house lot was lower than Garity's and there was no such trouble as that complained of now. but some time ago tine city raised the lot and there hHS been constant cc.:GDlaint since. The case was adjourned to next Saturday.
