Mr. Wilcox being asked about the ob1ec-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 15-Today's mar
ket was buoyant under an increased COM
mission house demand inspired by early as
surances that the bank statement would
show decrease in the reserve. London
sent over a higher range of prices and
bought several thousand shares in this mar
ket- The volume of business we'll dis
tributed, nearly every stock in the railway
list gaining substantially from yesterdays
closing level.
Toward the close Of the day the advance
in the Pacific stocks were especially sharp
and we'll sustained. Northern Pacific led
in the activity, gaining about per cent
for the day. The demand was coupled
with assurances of important developments
in the very near future, and the buying
was of the best
Union PacInc moved up under natural
demand, and the Changers We're again
sIong under the leadership of st. Paul The
bGy.ng uf he later sock suggests some eX-
traorulnary development also and there are
REASONS for supposing an early announce
ment of railroad deal in the middle west,
in which this property will figure conspcu-
ously. All Of the low-priced stocks were
IN demand and attention is turning to such
issues pretty generally.
The coal shares were firm and the indus
trials gained moderately. All of the Trac-
ton issues were well taken and commits
son houses were buyers of them to a great
er extent than usual.
On all sides the opinion is expressed that
big market is under way, and sentiment
is not to be allowed to force a scare over
the first of the year.
AS a matter of fact, the big interests
have combined to prevent any money strin-
gency, and the bank statement today
shows unmistakable signs of manipulation
to this end The banks show an increase
of $2i,2JO in reserve. which brings the to-
tai surplus over legal requirements up to
nearly $60OO0OO The loss in lawful money
has been about 81 600 900. all in specie. The
chief feature of the report is a decrease
of S13,cs2 800 in the loans in spite of the
recent buying Of stocks. and consequent
falling off of s1S,376. coo in deposits.
These figures are made to show a salts
factory condition. but 1t Is evident that the
non-member banks and trust companies
have been pressed into service to cover up
the lean condition of the associated institu-
tons. The big interests want a strong
market now well as in January and
they have it. There has been no adverse
factor In the situation at any time, save
the fear Of tight money. By removing that
fear the market has been given its head
and its future Is In the hands of a few
large banking interests committed to higher
prices.

MOTION OVERRVLED.
LancktOn Sentenced to Pcnitcntiary
for Term Of Eight Years.

Justice Clabaugh, in Criminal Court No.
1. this afternoon overruled motions for a
new trial and arrest of Judgment in the
case of James Lanckton. the former soldier
and Snowman, recently convicted Of man
slaughter. although placed on trial under
an indictment accusing him of the MUIR
der of Mrs. Bette Lee Wren last March
An exception to the action of the court
was noted
Attorney Fred Beall. counsel for the de-
PENDANT. then made an earnest appeal for
mercy in behalf of Lanckton.
Among the letters submitted was one from
Joseph Jefferson. the actor. 1t was inn
pressed upon the court that Danckton Is
not a vicious man. but has always borne
an excellent reputation, though weighted
down by Affections and sorrows to I'M
usual degree
Justice Clabaugh, in disposing of the mat
ter, remarked that the crime of which the
defendant was convicted was of such a
serious nature that it could not be dealt
with lightly. While the court did not con-
Sider he stated, that a sentence of ten
years would amount TO more of a punish
ment to Lanckton than would a sentence
OF two years. yet there remained a duty to
society to be fulfilled.
Lanckton was thereupon sentenced to i'm
priSOnment in the West Virginia peniten-
tiary at Moundsvi e for eight years
Announcement was made of the intention
of the defense to take the case to the Court

THE APPORTIONMENT BILL
NO SPECIAL REDUCTION OF REPRE-
sENTATION OF SOUTHERN STATES.
Difficulty in Determining Upon the
Future Membership In
the House.

TIE apportionment measure is proving
a difficult problem for the House to deal
with. The census committee held ses-
son today at which nothing was accom-
piished. save the final disposition of tbs
proposition to cut down the representation
o. states in the south which have curtaiec
the privileges of suffrage among their cit
liens.
BY unanimous vote in the committee. but
two members being absent. 1t was decided
to lay aside the proposition to make this
special reduction Of southern representation,
thus finally disposing of the matter.
The purpose of the committee is first to
decide upon the number Of members OF
which the House shall be composed and
then to adjust the ratio OF representation
SO as to provide for that number.
An informal vote for the purpose OF
sounding the present sentiment OF the COM
mittee, and not binding upon any one, was
taken on the proposition to fix the size OF
the House at its present membership OF
357 This resulted in five votes for that
proposition and four against 1t.
The question Is being taken up by the
several state delegations in the House, and
the action of these delegations will take the
place of a general conference or caucus on
the subject.
While the tentative vote and the discus
sion in the committee were favorable to
holding the House at its present member
ship, 1t was recognized that the attitude
of members might be Influenced by the ac-
ton of their state delegation, and it was de-
cided to defer action on The bill until there
had been further opportunity to consult
with members Of the House. Therefore,
another meeting was arranged to take
pace at o'clock on Monday.
1t is expected that a measure will be
agreed upon at that meeting and that the
bill then reported will be taken up in the
House on Tuesday The delegations of the
states which would suffer loss of represent
tation in the House under an apportion-
ment which would continue the House at
its present size are making a determined
fight on increase of the size Of the House
to such a membership Will provide eacn
state to have at least the Representative
1t now has. 1t Is expected that there will
be a compromise between 357 and 1887 men,
bers as the composition Of the House

the owners Of vehicles here to form at an
early date. Among the most enthusiastic
