Another Dull Day in Stocks on
New York Board.
DEMAND FOR RAILROAD BONDS
ease-Up in the Buying Of Govern
ment Securities
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March S-Today's market
was dull and uninteresting during the en-
tire morning, traders and commission
houses transacting only a minimum amount
of business. The loss Of the banks to the
subtreasury during the week and the pros
pect of an unfavorable bank statement
combined in restricting operations.
London bought moderately for a time but
the failure to attract any response in the
local market discouraged foreign buying.
The one encouraging feature of the day
was the improved demand for bonds,
Union Pacific and Southern issues finding
a ready market. Investors are already
buying against funds to accrue on account
Of the quarterly interest payments next
month. Bankers are also buying in antic-
ipation of this reinvestment demand at
the end of the month.
The activity in government issues has
also encouraged better demand for the
and per cent bonds of the railroads SELL
ing at premiums. Holders of the govern
advantage of the banking demand and have
realized on their holdings, putting the pro-
ceeds Into approved railroad mortgages.
This operation has inspired belief in the
future activity of the dividend-paying
shares, on the theory that the stock list
must shortly prove more attractive than
the bond market. The rush to buy govern
ment bonds has subsidized and today's late
dealings showed easing off in prices.
The delay in acting on the currency bill
In the House was offered in explanation
of this yielding, but the argument is
scarcely worthy of the occasion. The pre-
miums on the old governments places the
new per cents on basis of only a NOM
inal income, leaving the security of the
principal the sole argument in Justification
of the price.
The industrial list rallied temporarily
during the afternoon as the result Of cover
ing, Sugar leading the movement Rumors
of considerable stop order on Sugar en-
couraged traders to bid 1t up to that price
in the hope Of forcing a general covering
movement. Some large transactions were
recorded at and around par. but the selling
was superior to the buying in both charac-
ter and volume.
The price reacted sharply under the new
pressure and the street continues to adhere
to Its position on the short side of this
property.
While the railway list holds moderately
well, there is less effort required to advance
than to depress 1t from current prices
There is well-grounded belief in the flu
ture OF American railway shares, but there
is no marked disposition to hurry the &C.
cumulation of them. The irregular changes
OF today were scarcely significant owing to
the restricted volume of the dealings.

LAW WILL BE ENFORCED.
Speed of Automobiles ON the Streets
to BE Regulated.

Speed of Automobiles ON the Streets
to Be Regulated.
The law regulating the speed Of vehicles
Is to be enforced against persons who op-
crate automobiles and locomobiles on the
streets of this city. Today Major Sylves-
ter issued an order to members Of the DO
lice force calling their attention to the re-
cent amendment to the regulations, and
directing them to arrest persons offending
against the law.
The regulation adopted by the Commits
sioners provides that no bicycle or other
horseless vehicle shall be propelled across
any intersectfng streets on which there are
car tracks in the city of Washington at a
greater rate of speed than six miles an
hour, nor at a greater rate Of speed be-
tween interesting streets and avenues or
cross streets on which there are no car
lines than twelve miles an hour, nor at
greater rate of speed on any public street
or roadway outside of said city than fifteen
miles an hour.
Every bicycle in motion on a public high
way shall at all times be under the control
Of tho rider. Inasmuch as safety in pass
ing with rapidly moving vehicles REQUIRES
that the riders or drivers approaching each
other shall each be able to Judge of the
probable movement of the approaching
vehicle. no bicycle shall be ridden on the
streets within the city limits with the lower
end Of the handle bars on a plane lower
than four inches below the top of the sad
die at its center and the rider shall at all
times keep his head In such a position as
to command q view ahead of not less than
800 feet. This provision shall not be ap-
plicable to members of the bicycle squad of
the police force
The order was. issued because Of COM
plants made that some of the horseless
vehicles were being operated at a danger
Gus rate of speed.

THE SHIPPING SUBSIDY BILL.
House Merchant Marine Committee in
Favor of Revising 1t.

The House committee on merchant ma
rins and fisheries held an extended session
today. with a view to completing the ship
ping subsidy bill. which has been under con-
sideratiou for some time. The bill as orig
inally introduced was taken up, and served
as basis for action. a number of amend
ments being made along the lines of the
substitute measure proposed by Repre-
sentative Minor of Wisconsin and some of
his republican associates These amend
ments have been incorporated in the main
in the Senate bill. SO that the action of the
House committee brings the two houses in
virtual agreement on the form of the meas
ure. The voting disclosed that the majority
was united in the general plan of revising
the bill. The minority also acted together
in general opposition to the bill with the
exception OF Mr.. Chanler of New York. who
withheld his vote, and Mr.. Daily of New
Jersey. who was absent.
A new amendment intended to prevent
the creation OF a trust in shipping interests
was proposed by Representative Stevens Of
Minnesota. and caused extended discussion
By vote of 10 to the bill was finally
ordered reported and Representative Gros-
venor, chairman of the committee was au-
thorized to submit the report. Mr. Gros-
venor summed up the results by saying the
committee had agreed to the amendments
in the Senate bill, and also few other new
amendments. On the final vote all the re-
publican members favored the bill as
except Mr.. Chanler, who did not vote.
Mr.. Stevens antitrust amendments were
agreed to. AS summed up by him. they ara
as follows: THAT any vessel or owner of
vessel entering trust to increase the
price of export freight or in restraint of ex-
port trade shall cease to draw compensa-
ton under this bill
The second provides substantially that
any combination or conspiracy of ship
yards engaged in building vessels for COM
pensation under this act is declared Illegal
and upon proof Of combination or conspi-
racy of shipyards having capacity of one
third of the new tonnage of the United
States the Secretary of the Treasury Is au-
thorized to admit foreign-built vessels to
take the place Of new vessels constructed
under this act, except that such new ves-
sells shall not enter the coastwtse or lake
trade"
Another amendment agreed to- which Is
not in the Senate bill. reduces the bounty
5 per cent annually after ten years.
Mr.. Fitzgerald Of Massachusetts, the
ranking democrat of the committee, Of
fered a free ship amendment, which was
defeated. although all the democrats and
Messr5. Jones of Washington and Forlney
voted for IL. Another amendment by Mr.
Fitzgerald giving until 1901 for the Ameri-
can registering of ships purchased abroad
was supported by the democrats and Mr.
Jones. but was also defeated.
The democrats of the committee will sub
NIT minority report opposing the bill as
reported.

RULES OF THE REGULAR ARMY.

1t is said at the War Department that

Gently tried by court-rnartial for conduct

in the single eT-eTGt that the court-martial

the War Department any sentence of less
severity may be legally dealt with and
finally disposed of by the briGadier general

sense obliged TO alter or amend it's SEN

In Case of Acquitta1.
In the event that the trial results in the
acGuittal of the accused the power of the
reviewing authority is limited to approval
or disapproval, and in the latter case the
court may be reconvened for reconsid-
GRAFTON of its sentence. In case the court
adheres TO its original verdict. however, the
general commanding must accept that re-
suit. Although the general commanding
could express his disapprovai of the find
ings and administer a reprimand to the
court, he could not set aside the findings OF
the court, and the officers record would
show his acqulttal of the charges upon
which he was tried
II therefore appears that IL the rules OF
the regular army prevail in the case OF
Capt Chisholm. and he was actually &C.
quilted by the court-martial, as is generally
assumed to be the case, the action Of Gen
Harries Is limited to an approval or dis.
approval OF ths verdict and the extent of his
power in case Of disapproval Is limited tc
reprimand of the court or to returning
the case TO the court for reconsideration
The latter course has seldom been followed
In the regular army. where the reviewing
authority, If dissatisfied with the acquittal

record with statement Of his views of the
case and permits the sentence to stand

In addition to the combined fire depart

to the high wind which was blowing. the
scarcity of water and the infiammabIe ma
ture of most of the buildings, the flremen
were unable to do anything to stay the
flames In any other way.
