to permit of any extensive credit ex-
pansion by New York financial instltn-
lions and would not require long con-
tinuance to force q sharp contraction OF
loans. It will be remembered that In
the period OF repression preceding the
election. bankers were practically I'M
animous In the opinion that resources
must be conserved for the enlarged re-
qulrements of business aftetNelection.
The outpouring Of credits after cleo
ton, however, was on such a large scale
as to overwhelm all demands and force
an ensy money rate. in spite of the fur
ious speculation which ragged for sew
erai weeks. So, after enormous In
roads have been made by such specu-
lative commitments as well as by In
yestment in securities upon available
credits, the. expected demand for mo-
ney, Is manifesting itself. The move
ment of currency to the interior, which
has continued on q large scale now for
the best part Of q. week and the very
large volume OF interior bank clearings
are q plain indication Of the active need
for money throughout the country. An
active money market is generally ex-
pected between now and the first Of the
year. after which the January dis
bursements are expected to make for
easier money. A loan contraction by
New York banks seems, therefore,
highly probable, and the effect on the
stock market will be measured by the
financial resources Of those holding
Stocks A period of quietude in specu-
iation and Il gradual liquidation OF
weak accounts Is an important safe
guard against such situation. The
strong points In to-day's market were
amongst the low priced minor stocks,
the Fries. Peoria & Eastern, the Wa
bash stocks. the St. Joe and Grand
Island stocks and others Of that class
being conspicuous. Atchison preferred
and Missouri Pacific were also strong.
and Brooklyn Transit and the Steel
stocks were In demand. Sugar was very
feverish, and after rallying from early
weakness to about point over last
night it lost the gain in q few minutes
trading. The Amalgamated Copper
had an extreme decline of AZ before
showing any resistance, but they
strongly recovered over half the last.
Business was better sustained in
bonds than in stocks, and some import
ant gains were shown, but there were
also reactions In other points. Total
sales par. value S4,O25.000.

Washington County's New Jail.


The new Washington county jail
is practically completed and will be
ready to turn over to the county in a
few days. The steel cell work is fin.
lshed and John Raush, who has
charge of the construction, expects to
leave today for st. Louis, Mo.
The Chert Stone company, which
had the contract for the artificial
stone work, has practically finished.
To understand how substantial this
stone is, it might be said that it is
used in buildings where heavy iron
trucks pass over it continually. Some
of the stone was laid one night recent
ly at the Jail, and within "a hours it
was necessary to cut it with a cold
chisel to break away the edges. The
Jail has been visited by great many
county officers from various sections
of the state and all agree that Wash
ington county has the best Jail by far.
There are SO cells in the basement, 18
on the ground floor, and 10 cells on
the upper floor, eight of the latter be-
ing the regular cells, one female and
one hospital rOom.-ArguS.

AGU|NALD0'S MESSAGE
Which Pettigrew Sought to
Have Read the Cause.

Washington, Feb. Mot since
the war of the rebellion has the sem
ate witnessed such a scene as that of
yesterday. Mr.. Pettigrew of South
Dakota sought to have read a docu-
ment written by Emilio Aguinaldo
and giving his version of the alleged
recognition of the Filipino republic by
Admiral Dewey.
Senator Lodge read letter from
Admiral Dewey cmphaticaIly denying
Agulnald0's S statements.
Pettigrew replied in passionate
speech in which he declared that
Admiral Dewey had recognized that
republic and had not before denied it.
In an instant half a dozen senators
were on their feet and denounced Pet
tigrew's action as treason. n dozen
senators made him the target for
stinging remarks. The feeling in the
senate was intense as the white faces
of the men showed.

bel is slightly better this afternoon

pared saying that the boards which
had heard the contests for governor
and lieutenant governor had decided
in favor of GOebel and Beck
ham, and that the board intended to
report it's findings to the legislature
but that it had been prevented from
so doing by the action of Gov. Taylor
in declaring the legislature adjourned.
Mr.. Goebel took prompt action re-
garding the military arm Of the SER
vice. Two orders were quickly pre-
pared for his signature the fist of
which discharged Adjutant General
Daniel Collier from Office and ap-
pointed General j. B. Castleman of
Louisville as his successor. The sec
ond was directed to the commanders
of the militia now stationed in this
city, directing them to return to their
homes.
He also issued a proclamation COM
manding the Kentucky State guard
and each and every officer and member
thereof to return to their homes and
there remain until lawfully called in
