GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK. May 2-The uncertainties
of the strike situation and the engagement
of S.60o0o0 gold for export were disturb
ing factors in today's price movement.
London did nothing and commission busi-
ness fell of TO small proportions. Profess
sional cliques sold the railroad shares for
fractional profits and new pressure ap-
peared in the steel issues. The selling rep
resented only a very moderate amount of
real liquidation, but IT served to discourage
the street and almost eliminate the outside
demand.
During the early morning sharp advance
OF per cent In Long Island Traction, due
tc Its proposed connection with New York
Central was a welcome relief to the mo-
notony of inconsequential fluctuations in the
general list. The stock has never been suf-
hciently prominent TO influence its neigh
bors. however. and other traction shares
were barely steady.
The stock which did most for the support
OF the general market was American Sugar
an advance In those shares of about 3 per
the railway list.
Recent sellers were the most liberal buy
ers of Sugar and the denials of any action
looking to a settlement Of the trade war
failed to convince a certain influential fol-
lowing. Whatever the motive for the ad-
vance, the fact that Sugar stock was al
most buoyant in the face of an otherwise
declining market saved the market a con-
siderable decline.
railing OFF In tonnage in certain sections
OF the country is reported, and for this rea-
son the granger issues are disposed to react
because most likely to feel the effects OF a
decreased grain movement. Such a shrink
age as has been reported would cause less
concern were 1t not accompanied by the
restlessness of labor in various parts OF the
country. How far such events will lead Is
an unknown factor and very naturally
tends to heighten the caution of the con-
seryative element
In almost every banking circle there is
confidence expressed in the future of the
STOCK market, but it is accompanied with
the prediction that patience will be reouIreJ
on the part of present buyers

curious procession Seen in Norway

From Pearson's Weekly.
In the deep pine forests Of Norway the
woodcutters sometimes find a seroentiue
object, fifty feet long. crawling slowly over
the ground II they did not know that it
was made up Of millions of little worms,
they might be frightened by its peculiar an

These worms. called the sciara, gather

or for change of condition. When setting
out on this journey, they stick themselves
together and form huge serpentlike mass.
often reaching length of between forty
and fifty feet and several inches in thick
ness.
AS the sciara is only on an average about
three thirty-seconds of an inch in length,
and barely wider than a fine needle, the

size above mentioned is enormous.
Their pace Is very slow. and upon meet

A celebrated naturalist says that, If the
rear portionNof this wonderful snake-like
procession be brought into contact with

the insects will keep moving round and

Another Scene.
Soon after another scene occurred when
Mr.. Gaines CTenn.) took exception to a
personal aIlusion made to him by Mr. Mann
Ull). After reading from the Record Mr.
Mann's uncomplimentary statement Mr..
Gaines with great vehemence, declared that
the man who had uttered the words was
devoid of common decency, courtesy and
gentility."
The Illinois member had told him, MIR.
Gaines said, that he had come from the
south and was a southern man. and he
thanked God that he was now 1000 miles
removed from contact with the south.
Mr.. Mann came down the aisle as Mr.
Gaines concluded. and in sarcastic tones
said: Mr.. Chairman, If the remarks came
from any other member than the gentlemen
from Tennessee they would deserve a re-
ply, but from him they need no answer.
AS Mr. Mann turned his back Mr.. Gaines
raised his right hand menacingly and ex-
claimed amid the confusion and laughter:
Il want to say that l am responsible for

What of the Druggists.
From the New York Trihune

A woman in Trenton. N. J.. confesses that
she has been in the habit of putting lauda-
mum into her husbands beer in order to
make him sleep, and thus to save her from
the beating he would otherwise be sure to
inf1ict upon her. Some of her neighbors
corroborate her story and admit that they
do the same thing, while their neighbor-
hood druggist says he has been doing a
rushing trade in laudanum for that purpose
The womans act was dangerous If not
felonfous, and is sternly to be condemned
Yet it is difficult not to feel much SYM
pathy with her, as the judge seems to have
done when he let her go and ordered that
her drunken brute of husband be locked
up. But what of the druggist who sold the
laudanum, knowing for what purpose it
was to be used? His case seems to be of
all most worthy of judicial consideration.

Law Applies to All,

The attorney for the District has advised
the Commissioners that in his opinion con-
veyances Of all kinds engaged in the trans
portation OF passengers for public hire here
irrespective Of the motive power used, are
within the law and regulations applicable
TO vehicles for public hire. He, therefore,
holds that 1t Is not necessary for the Com.
mtssioners to promulgats new regulations
and make them specially applicable to au-
tomobiles and other horseless vehicles. in
order to compel the owners thereof to take
out the required license.
1t IS understood this decision of their
legal adviser Will be approved by the Com
missioners, and that they will REQUIRE ali
