FINANCE and TRADE

There was universal stagnation in
the markets here to-day awaiting news
from Lord Roberts. Americans were
busy at the opening for ten minutes
and then died down until quite low,
New York giving half-hearted support.
The close, however, was a~pathetic and
dropping.
Tintos were fat at ssh, English
bears renewing their campaign and
saying that New York was tired of up
holding the stock. There was talk, too,
Of new discoveries of copper. Paris
gave no support, but the close was
5S%.
The bank bought $4,000 gold in
German coin. There was talk of gold
shipments from New York.
Call money was less wanted. A
moderate sum due the bank was re-
newed and the bank did a small dis
count business.

Stocks-The stock market continued
unsettled and hesitating to-day under
the influence Of the uncertainty sur
rounding the iron and steel issues.
The undertone was distinctly firm and
the early period of weakness gave way
to a slow and irregular upward move
ment, doubtless due in large part to
the demand from the short interest to
cover. The rates for. loans on stocks
this morning on the floor indicated
that the short interest was quite large.
The comparative quiet of the iron and
steel stocks and positive strength at a
number of points prompted the cover
ing of shorts and encouraged what
slight buying for general account there
was. Eager attention was again fixed
ON American Steel & Wire all day in
view of the session of the company's
executive committee. The movement
of the stock was feverish, the common
and preferred often moving in contrary
directions as though to cause a feel
ing of uncertainty over developments
in the company. Aside from this con-
flicting manipulating dealings in the
stock were apparently largely in the
hands of the room traders, who circu-
lated many rumors concerning the ex-
ecutive committee meeting. The COM
mittee's action was kept secret until
after the close of the market.
With this disturbing factor kept in
the background a number of favorable
influences were allowed to have play.
The coalers were all notably strong on
favorable trade reports. The bitumin-
Gus coal as well as the anthracite roads
sharing in the movement. The local
traction stock and sugar moved up
wards in a decidedly irregular manner
and Texas & Pacific, Canada Southern,
New York Central and Pennsylvania
were also points of strength. The good
crop weather was sustaining influence
with the grain carrying roads. Rumors
still circulate of new railroad combina-
tons and of prospects of dividends on
railroad stocks, but they have no defin-
lite authority and in many cases meet
with contradiction. The banks seem
assured of an increase in cash to-mor-
row, having gained nearly $4,000, 900 on
sub-treasury operations and over half
a million dollars on the express move
ment with the interior. There is rath-
er more mystery than usual surround
ing the item of loans. The liquidation
in the stock market indicates loan con-
traction, but the declining scale of in
terest rates has prompted the banks to
place as large loans as possible. The
process of loaning on sterling COLA
teral, which has proceeded during the
week, will undoubtedly be reflected in
the statement is it has been in the
sterling market during the week. Ac-
tual sterling rates advanced &c and
posted rates 1ac to-day, and are near
!. the gold exports point, though the ex-
perts are engaged in their usual
wr&ngle as to just what figure repre-

JUST PLAIN LYING.

Four years ago the republican
party set up the false claim that it
favored bimetallism. Its national
platform so stated and its campaign
orators so reiterated.
Many voted for Mckinley be
lieving this to be true.
Since then the party has cut
loose entirely from the bimetallic
theory. 1t has gone utterly and
wholly over to the goldbug divi>
sion.
That is to say, the republican
party stands confessed breaker of
pledges. In plain words, the re
publican party is liar.
False in one thing, false in
many.
The republican party today
spurns the charge of Imperialism,
just as four years ago it Indignantly
denied the imputation OF gold
bugism.
Not to believe that the republican
administration is driving the gov
ernment straight upon the rock OF
imperialism is not to credit ones
senses.
Yet the republican party asks US
to believe such is not the case.
The republican party is not to be
believed. Its platforms, like its
promises, are made to be broken.
While denying its policy of coloni
zation and subjugation, it is engaged
in carrying on the work day by
day.
1t has already gone to the money
kings. Now it would set king in
the presidents place.
Trust not the jade.

gambling Wed with those of the mines,
poker Annie" was one OF the celebrities
OF the place. She was q striking hand
some woman, always handsomely dressed
and kept herself above the common run
of the women OF the camp at that day.
She was an adept at the various gamb-
ling games, and was partner in and
dealt the cards for oneiof the places where
the play was highest. "Poker Annie"was
born gamol er, and she not only patron
lied her own establishment but those OF
her rivals, always playing for high stakes
For time she was wealthy, but at last
there came a run of ill luck which swept
away all her possessions.
Josephine Bush, ragged, dirty wom-
an with no traces of beauty or anything
but degradation in her face, was arraign-
ed in the Police court yesterday for vag
rancy. 1t was shown that she had no
occupation, and she was fined $25 and
costs, which means that for l5 days the
once beautiful, dashing well-dressed
"Poker Annie" must scrub the corridors
OF the city jail.

According to a Dispatch From Dur
bnn-Mafeking Tired of the Siege.
LONDON, April 25.-The news re-
ceived to-day has little bearing upon
the question Of the hour.
A dispatch from Durham dated Tues
day April "a, reports that Gen. Lucas
Meyer is dead. but that the general is
known to have been well on the pravi'
Gus day.
A Boer dispatch from Glencoe, Natal,
dated Tuesday. April "a, says that four
scouts surprised 800 British from Lady
smith April % and put the whole body
to flight and captured two Of them.
The arrival Of MafelsIng dispatches
has renewed the interest and anxiety in
regard to the fate OF It's defenders.
Lady Sarah Wilson's account Of the
slaughter OF the three natives who went
out from MafelSing last Friday TO re-
cover some cattle, which had been loot
ed by the Beers and who while they
were sleeping. were surrounded by the
burghers ana shot without quarter, ap-
parently harshly misrepresented the
action of the Beers.
Ruthlessly Slaughtered by Beers.
A dispatch received by the Associated
Press from MafeFing says that the ma
tives in question were unauthQrizJd d
raiders and that instead OF being ruth
lessly slaughtered By the Beers while
asleep, they beat back the burghers,
who were obliged to get reinforcements
OF Maxlms and Nordenfeldts. The
dispatch adds:
There was no question Of surrender.
The leaders Of the natives. q tall, spare
man. rallied his men to the last and the
fight progressed from the rising to the
sinking OF the sun. Those twenty-five
fngoes armed with obsolete rifles
fought with grim determination. Mn
chine guns and Mausers poured shot
and steel into their midst. Until their
ammunition was finished the natives
fought and then the Beers killed all but
one of them who, wounded, hid In the
reeds and escaped.
Complained of Gen. Baden-P Powell.
Gen. snyman complained of Colonel
Baden-Pcwen employing barbarlan5
who killed sl.. and wounded numbers Of
Beers. Col. Baden-Powell replied that
the raid was not authorized and point
ed out that a number OF natives were
destitute because their homes had been
burned and their cattle stolen by the
Beers. He declined to be held RESPONSE
ble for the natives actions"
The correspondent concludes:
Mafeklng may be forgiven II 1t begins
to prefer some attempt at relief rather
than empty congratulations for It's
stand Though 1t is only sufficient to
keep body and soul together 1t will
never dream Of surrender But 1t Is
very. very weary OF 1t all"
