Government bonds strong.

Government DOnQS strong.
Stocks-It took about fifteen minutes
of trading after the opening of the
Stock Exchange this morning to de-
monstrate the disinclination of stocks
to continue the advance which aroused
the hopes Of the bulls yesterday. The
market started off with great show of
animation and semblance of strength.
Prices of Americans were up in Lon
don, but whether this symptom was the
result OF operations by cable from this
side is open to inference. At all
events the advance in prices seemed
to be designed for the benefits of the
shorts who were anxious to cover af-
ter yesterdays rise. The demand
from this element was so literally fed
that it made slight impression on prices
and after it was satisfied the market
became notably soft. The market af-
forwards was irregulariy downwards
on a small volume of business. A
great many brokers left the street and
the market fell into a condition of
lassitude that is so characteristic of
the season that it is called "mid-sum-
mer dullness,' even when it occurs in
other seasons.
during the latter part of the day was
largely governed by the fluctuations in
the wheat market, stocks hardening
slightly with the midday reaction in
wheat and sagging again when the
price of wheat rallied. Sugar and
some of the preferred steel stocks gave
varying evidence of strength Other
wise there was no striking feature in
the market and the closing showed
very small net changes and irregular
ity and uncertain fluctuations. The
money market continued quiet up to
the closing considering that it is prac-
Hcally the last aay to 3lete prepare
lions for the semi-annual disburse
ments OF dividends and interest which
are the largest in the history of the
country Call money was slightly
harder at the opening, but the rate was
not free from suspicion of manipula-
ton in the interest of reaction in the
stock market.
1t is expected that the banks will
show small net loss in cash in to-
morroW's statement and the estimated
receipts from the interior not being
sufficient to offset the loss on sub
treasury operations. But as last
weeks unexpectedly large decrease in
reserves is supposed to have antici-
pated the requirement for Mondays
payment into the sub-treasury of the
called government deposits, it is ex-
pected that this weeks official figures
OF sub-treasury operations may over
state the actual demand made upon the
banks. There has been no evidence
either that the surplus has been en-
croached upon by expanding loans.
The sale of withheld sterling bills dur
Ing the week has been accompanied by
liquidation of loans which were secured
by the sterling bills as collateral. I'm
less the demand for the semi-annual
settlements has Offset this loan con-
traction a decrease in the loan item
is therefore probable.
Bonds were in better request than
stocks and prices are higher. Total
sales par value 81 ,365 coo.
United States refunding IS when is
sued advanced Is and the Is &c in the
bid price.

THAT PENSION MYSTERY.
1t Is Made Clear In the Arrest of a
Colored Woman.

1T LIS Made CLEAR In the Arrest of q
Colored Woman.
Mrs Jennie Ramsey was arrested yes
terday ON charge of making false af-
f1davits in connection with a pension APP
plication The arrest was made by
Deputy United States Marshal Picha, and
the woman was arraSgned before United
States Commissioner Spencer, who held
her, in default Of $500 bonds, to await
the action of the federal grand jury at
the March term Of court at Minneapolis.
According to the complaint, on Feb. 7,
1900 Mrs. Ramsey appeared before D. IL
Alexander, a special examiner of the
pension department, at Minneapolis, and
testified that she was forty years old,
residing at SO Sixth avenue north, and
the widow of Archie Ramsey, who enlist
ed March is, 1865, as a private in Com.
pany K, Seventeenth regiment, United
States colored troops, as Archie Long,
and was discharged March 2, 1866. The
aff1ant claimed to have been married to
Ramsey in September, 1879, at Maiden
Rock, Wis, by Methodist minister
named Brown, with Henry Smith ard
Mary johnson as witnesses.
In describing the details of the wedding
Mrs. Ramsey swore that the minister
had come to ST. Paul and escorted Ram
sey and herself to Maiden Rock, where
they were married in a vacant house at
night There was no light and the min
lister went out and borrowed a lamp
which furnished the light for the cere-
mony
+. In conclusion, Mrs Ramsey swore that
she had known man named Thomas
De Souzer, whom she had not seen for
twenty years. She had lived with him
for four or five years. prior to her mar
riage with Ramsey without any cere-
mony ever having been reformed, and
was the mother of two children by him.
The records of the district court show
that a woman, whose maiden name was
Jennie Jones, was married to De ,Souzer,
on Aug. IS, 1874, by Rev. s. G. McMas-
ter, then rector of Christ church. 1t is
on this that the charge of making
false affidavit is based. Mrs. Ramsey has
been drawing Widows pension for sew
eral months.
At the examination the woman re-
fused to talk, but Special Examiner Al.
exander told Of the circumstances At
tending the taking OF the affidavit.
Mr.. Alexander declares that the man
De Souzer is living, and the government
is acquainted with his whereabouts

house will be erected on Fillmore avenue,
west Of Robert street. The plan of put
ting up the engine house adjoining the
Waterous Engine company's plant would
necessitate the building being a frame

favor. Chief Cook suggested that the
new engine house be made large enough
to furnish room for hook and ladder

board, however, have but $1,000 with
which to erect the new house, and with
this amount it is not possible to enlarge
the house so as to give room for any
thing but an engine. The finances OF the
board will be carefully gone over and an

White Bear Property for Kittson,
the Latter VIII Have to Get Along
by Paying Rent for the Place
More of the Young Mans Trou-
bles.
Judge Bazille yesterday, in probate
court, filed an order refusing to interfere
in the matter of the petition of Alfred s.
Kittson for an order permitting the pur-
chase of his home at White Bear. Incl
dentally case of strained relations be-
tween Kittson and his guardian, E. s.
Durment, is brought to light.
According to the petition, A. S. Kittson,
in 1885, purchased the homestead at White
Bear, which he has since occupied. He
paid $1,000 in cash for the property, and
gave a mortgage for $500 to the Iowa
Land company Qimited). Afterwards
Kittson spent $1,000 in improving the
house and barn, but in July, 1885, the
land company foreclosed on the mort
gage
June q, 1899, Anton Miesen bought in
the property at $4,363, which Included the
amount Of the mortgage, interest and
back taxes. Now, so Kittson declares,
Miesen has declared that if the present
occupant remains he must pay $40 per
month rent, but will sell for the amount
paid. The petitioner declares that, to the
best of his belief, the property is at
present worth fully $500, and that his
guardian, E. S. Durment, has $4,000 in
cash belonging to the estate in some
bank, drawing little or no interest, be-
sides an unincumbered estate of over
$4,000. The petition asks that the guard
ian be directed to make the purchase.
In his decision the court says:
After carefully looking into the mat
ter the court has come to the conclusion
to refuse to do anything in the matter
until properly brought to the attention
Of the court by the guardian. In the
first place, the court would be interfer-
Ing with the duties Of the guardian by
requiring him to purchase the property,
which might or might not be a good in
vestment The guardian has given bonds
to discharge his duties, and if the court
should compel him to purchase property
against his wishes, which would be
detriment or loss to the estate, and suit
was brought against the guardian for
the recovery Of said loss, the guardian,
and not the court, would be held respon-
