STOCKS INCLINED UPWARD

The market yesterday opened up high
er as it usually does Monday morning
after strong ending Saturday. just
how far the upward tendency will be
carried during the week is somewhat un-
certain, but the forces in the market
out to reveal themselves pretty we'll dur
ing the next forty-eight hours. Every
thing, of course, depends upon whether
the people are enthusiastic enough over
the currency law, to take new risks in
the speculation. The short interest still
remaining is large enough to bring about
further rally, but not very Important
one.
1t is believed chat the bull pools which
have been devoting their attention to
Burlington and Atchison preferred, will
try to put up other stocks in order to
take profits in the former. This will be
the process by which a general bull
movement will if possible be prevented.
Rock Island around 100 is considered a
good purchase for small turn. The in
terest behind Reading firsts and South
ern Railway preferred will probably give
their specialties another twist.
A London dispatch says. There is a
decidedly better feeling here today, and
business started almost buoyantly.
Mexican Centrals and Mexican Nationals
with Atchison were the features. Atchi-
son preferred sold equal to 6Ss. tbs be-
leved here that the war in the Trans
vaa is on its last legs, and that within
thirty days Kruger and Steyn will be
glad to accept any peace terms.

NO THREE GENT FARE.
United states Court Upsets n Famous
Detroit Ordinance.

Detroit, March 19-Judge Swan in the
United States district court rendered a
decision which denies the validity of an
ordinance passed some months since by
the city council requiring the street rail-
way companies to reduce rates of fare to
8 cents. The court says there is nothing
in the charter of the city which author
ICES such an ordinance and allows an in
junction to restrain the city from en-
forcing it. Said Judge Swan:
aTo enforce this ordinance would be
an act not of regulation, but of spolia-
tion. The police power includes the gem
eral management as regards the protee-
ton of life and property and the accom-
mediation Of the public, but the legisla-
ture itself could not affect the fares
agreed upon. 1t might be for the wei
| fare of the public that the fares should
be abolished altogether, but that would
be confiscation and could not be toler.
ated.'
A contention Of the city in defending
the injunction suit was that, since the
older ordinances provided that rates OF
fare 'not exceeding 5 cents" could be
charged, that the city had power subse
quently to regulate the rates at reason
able" figures. The court holds that tht
substance or meaning Of all these oral
nances permits 5 cent fares. which priyi
lege cannot afterward be annulled.

of the charges of mismanagement of the

cate.
She said she did not seek the position,
but was appointed because of her expert

other teachers. She charged the latter
with disloyalty and encouraging the girls
in disobedience.
/ She said she was not at the school two
days before there was an organized un

dents ne tHcclhHteus
New Haven, March President Ar
thur L. Hadley addressed the Yale stu
dents at the chapel exercises ON the
smallpox or varioloid scare that is trou-
bling Yale. He said:
"There is in some parts of the college
community an excitement concerning
smallpox which is not warranted by the
facts. From the first the authorities have
adopted the policy of making publicly
known and of isolating every case which
could give ground for the slightest sus-
picion. Only two such doubtful cases
have developed-one at the colony, the
other at 113 Wall street.
sin view, however, of all the circum-
stances, the authorities recommend that
all students should be yaccinated. This
| is the right remedy and the sure one.
The wrong remedy is to run away. II
you have not the disease in your system,
vaccination will make you safe. In the
very improbable contingency that any OF
you has the disease in his system running
away will not protect him. Least OF oil
| will the university countenance any sucf
mistaken policy by contemplating the sus
pension of any part of its regular exer
cises.
s'Every few years we have an alarm OF
this kind. No such alarm has ever beer
followed by serious consequences. con
gratulate you on the superior GOODNESS
which the students of the present colieg.
generation have shown as compared will
their predecessors under similar circum
stances. If you can individually AM
collectively maintain this improvement
in moral courage, it will stand Yale Il
good stead in all the affairs of life

ANTITRUST LAW STANDS.
Supreme Court Declares the Texn'
Measure Constitutional.

Washington, March 19.-The supreme
court Of the United States has rendered
an opinion in the case of the Waters
Pierce Oil company against the state of
Texas, affirming the decision of the court
of civil appeals of the state of Texas.
The case involved the constitutionality
of the antitrust law of Texas, which is
sustained by this opinion.
The case involved the right of the Wa
ters-Pierce Oil company to do business in
the state of Texas contrary to the provi-
sions of the state antitrust laws of 1889
and 1895.
1t was charged, among other things
that the Waters-Pierce company was
member of the Standard Oil trust as or
ganized in 1882, and various other allie
cations were made, but the court did no
enter upon general discussion of trusts
contenting itself with discussion of thu
Texas law as applicable to this case.
The opinion sustained the decisions o
the state courts to the extent of afhrmin;
them and was thus opposed to the con
tcntions of the oil company, but it di'
this upon the ground that the state law
imposed a condition which the oil com
pany had accepted, and hence was with
out ground of complaint.
