ACTIVITY IN SOUTHERN.
Heavy Buying of Both Preferred and
Common stock.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Further rumors
regarding the Southern Railway interested
Wall Street today. The price OF the pre-
ferred stock reached its highest mark, Sc
as. on sales aggregating 29,500 shares, a
gain of IL per cent. Transactions in
Southern common reached total Of 49,
200 shares, with comparatively little fluc-
tuation in price. In addition to persis-
tent reports that there was heavy buying
of Southern Railway shares in the entire
street, there were rumors that the vot-
ing trust was to be dissolved and that an
ironcIad agreement to maintain rates had
been entered into by the Southern and the
Seaboard Air Line. This last rumor was
generally regarded as having some foun-
dation in fact.
President Samuel Spencer, of the South
ern Railway, says that he just returned
from an inspection over the system and
had nothing to say about rumors. Other
persons connected with Southern Railway
interests. while admitting that the course
of the market showed that somebody be-
lieved the stock was worth buying. said
that no new interest could come into the
management without the consent of the
voting trust. The latter is terminable at
the discretion of the trustees, who were
reticent today regarding their plans.
According to stock exchange gossip Mr..
Morgan is preparing to dissolve the trust
for practically the same reason that caus-
ed the recent determination to dissolve
the Northern Pacific trust. /. E.. the finan-
cial rehabilitation Of the property and its
being established on a permanent divi-
dend paying basis.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is more
closely connected with the Southern sys-
tenn than is any other independent line.

with having purchased heavily. and large
buying orders were received from New

The heavy dealings and character OF the

as confirming statements that satisfac-

Thomas F. Ryan. OF New York. whereby he
will dispose of his holdings in the Sea-

in the deep regret felt in his home State
and in the Nations Capital for the death
of the late Hon. Cushman Kellogg Davis.
a United States Senator from Minnesota.
Few of his colleagues in the Senate have
made as great an impression upon the his
tory of their times as he has. A leSisia-
tor of experience. the greatest interna-
tional lawyer on the Republican SIDE OF
the Senate, an untiring committee worker.
and an able courteous, and convincing de-
batter. the loss of Senator Davis will be
q severe one TO the body of which h. has
been for years a conspicuous and an hen
ored member.
HE was a self-made man. in the sense
that he rose to eminence in mis- State and
in the country upon the foundation OF ms
own merits. He was yet young man
when Minnesota honored him with ner
chief magistracy in 1874. He vas still
comparatively young when he came TO the
Senate. Cushman X. Davis was man
who attracted men to him. and his friends
were legion. a descendant of Mayfower
pilgrims, he combined the shrcwd and
sturdy Puritan nature with the open and
hearty manner of the Northwest. His was
an attractive personality and an active
and brilliant mind. Neither his fellow citi-
zens nor those nearer TO aim can ahord
to be bereft of his presence. But friends
and admirers. no matter how many, now
earnest, or how rich, Fan ever compro-
mise with the Angel OF Death. HES call,
as nearly all of us know to our sorrow. is
the previous question without any Cpl Or
tunity for debate.

VICTORIES BY INSURGENTS.
Awful Slaughter In the Civil War In
Colombia.

NEW YORK. Nov 27.-Mail advices re-
ceived today by DR.. A. Diaz Guerra tell
Of desperate fighting at various points in
Colombia. The Government seems to
have suffered most.
One letter describes a battle near Ro-
gotta, the capital. won by Gen. John Nc
Allister. an Americap>commander in tbs
insurgent army. This was at Chihaque.
and there were 400 Government troops AMI
500 insurgents. The fight lasted several
hours. and the Government losses IN
killed and wounded numbered 1884,
The greatest recent losses sustained by
the Government was on November f2. at
Ovejas, Department of Bolivar where
Gen. Rafael Tribe. who has earned the
title of THE Bolivar of the Revolution.
led the rebels. Gen. Pedro Mel Ospina,
chief of the Governments Atlantic army.
was killed. Another important victory
was the capture of the port of Santa
Marta by the command of Gen. Eugenio
Sarmiento. who also took La Cienaga,
close by. The entire department OF Mag
dalena, in which the latter places ara
situated. is controlled by the revolutions
lists.
The absence Of any mail from Barran-
quilla and Cartagena. which have been re-
ported in the hands Of the insurgents has
further increased the enthusiasm of the
local revolutionary junta. Several Gov
eminent defeats are also reported from
the departments of BOyaca and Tolima.
The success of the insurgents has caused
great apprehension at Bogota. A minis
terial crisis has resulted from continued
disagreements between President Marr0-
quin and members of his cabinet Gen.
Prospero Pinzon. Minister Of War and
COMMANDMENTS chief Of the army, has re-
