NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The Stock Market
opened very dull and slightly irregular to-
day
Strength was exhibited among the rail-
way shares, notably Southern Pacific, Tn
ion Pacific, and Baltimore and Ohio and
the grangeTs.
Sugar. in respect of dealings, was more
active than the other industrials and acted
heavy on reports of priee-cutting by the
Independent refiners.
The Steel stocks were also heavy on the
cut in the price Of iron, diminishing ex-
ports and the unsettled situation.
Among the specialties there was very lit
tie doing and bid and asked prices were
sometimes wide apart.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was a strong
feature of the local transportation shares
on reports that the transfer privileges on
the system would be cuTtailed
The early morning news was not OF suf-
fcient Importance TO cause the market TO
break away from its professional limits.

In obedience to a resolution Of the
House of Represen tatives. the President
Yesterday sent the open door" CORE
spondence of the State Department with
foreign Governments to that body for
Congressional inspection and edihcation.
1t is not voluminous. aud does not furnish
anything sensational, or much matter OF
any kind for comment. II comprises the
declaration" sent out by this Govern
ment to our European embassies and le-
cations, in Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia. and Italy. and to our lega-
ton in Japan the notes addressed ac-
cordingly by our representatives to the
Governments named and the answers Of
the latter
Great Britain, it appears. was prompt
in replying that it would give Her Maj
esty's Government great pleasure 10 unite
with the United States in keeping open
the commercial door OF China; and each
of the other powers remarked that it
would take the same view provided every
body else did. AS everybody else used
language to the like effect. Mr.. Hay took
a census, and concluded that compliance
with our demand was in effect II not in
form quite unanimous, and thereupon
thanked the various States for their COM
mon and uniform action. and begged to
be permitted TO renew his assurances of
tbs most distinguished consideration.
Excepting the correspondence with the
British Foreign Office the negotiations do
not appear to have been carried to any
very formal conclusion, as the Secretary
of State seems to have assumed that the
contingent promises of the Continental
States became positive and binding on all
hands, when he had received enough OF
them to make a quorum. so to speak.
The result may be satisfactorily complete
and final as the matter stands. but
a little something more in the way Of a
convention apiece with France, Germany,
Russia, and Italy would have added TO
the confidence of our commercial inter-
ests that the open door" is actually and
firmly propped open in a manner to re-
main SO without future question.

An incident which occurred in Chicago
not long ago is likely to cause gossip In
China at some future time. If the ma
tiyes OF any other country had been in
volved in it, there might possibly have
been some international complications. 1t
has its humorous aspects, though it was
serious for the people involved.
A Chinese dramatic company, which has
been travelling in this country. was en-
gagged by a Chicago club to give a per-
Torrance at its club house. The company
accordingly began rehearsals of tragedy
which was intended to he peculiarly inn
pressive and e!eyating. even though nore
of the members of the club understood
Chinese. Imagine Booth and Barrett Civ
ing Macbeth in Shanghai to select
audience of mandarins who knew no Eng
lish, and the difficulty of the task which
the Chinese company had before it may be
understood. Ii is not wonderful that they
became absorbed and earnest in the re-
hearsal.
Outside the door an Intelligent Chicago
policeman was standing. He saw the
members of the company go into the
building, and besan.~to wonder what was
up He listened intently for suspicious
sounds. and caught what he thought 10 be
the evidences of a big fan-tan game
There was considerable noise in the loom
where the rehearsal was going on--any
one can understand that who has been
to Chinese theatre-and the more racket
there was the more the policeman was
convinced that something was wrong. He
called other policemen and they thought
as he did. They decided that something
must be done. 1t would not do to wait
for interpreters, or explanations, or any
thing of that sort. Action must be imme-
date.
They burst open the doors and came upon
the stage just at the denouement OF the
drama That convinced them that muir
der was being done, and they hustled the
whole company off TO the stationhouse. The
bewildered and indignant actors had a
great deal TO say, but it all had to be said
in Chinese, and as the only languages with
which the officers were at all familiar
we're English, German. and Irish, their ears
were practically deaf to the entreaties.
threats explanations and objurgatioHs
hurled upon them. 1t was all Chinese to
them. and that is considerably more hope
less than Greek.
The actors staid In the stationhouse all
might In the morning the matter was ex
planned to the satisfaction of the court
and they were released, none the worse.
physically. but with a certain amount of
experience stored away for future use The
officers also learned lesson. Possibly
they will understand after this that chi
nese civilization has its grades. and that
1t is not always proper TO arrest a man
because he is doing something unusual.

The Rogues' Gallery.

A strong protest has been made in New
York against forelbly photographing per-
sons who have been arrested on criminal
charges and acquitted The protest in
some respects seems well founded. Many
innocent people are arrested in the course
Of q year, and they have 4 right to object
to being paraded in the rogues' gallery
with confirmed criminals.
The rogues' gallery is one of the most
useful institutions in modern civilization.
but 1t is not intended to display the pic
lures of people who are not rogues. The
law recognizes the right of the innocent
man to claim DAMAGES for false arrest;
and he has just as much right TO object
to having his portrait hung along with
those of thieves and murderers when it
does not belong there.
The man who is arrested for a crime
which he did not commit has a hard
enough time under any circumstances. The
human mind is so constituted that nine
people out of ten will probably remember
his arrest and forget all about his acquit-
tai. 1t is most desirable therefore that
he should not be obliged to leave last
ing record OF the experience on exhibition
where It is liable to be misconstrued
Common Justice demands that it he is
photographed, the picture should be de-
s.royed upon proof of his innocence.
1t is also claimed that there is an in
justice in placing in the rogues' gallery
pictures of persons convicted of triiing
offences. sometimes merely technical in
character. Unprecedented persons will
probably admit the justice Of this claim.
Curiosity seekers, passing through the
gallery. and recognizing the face of some
one whom they know. will not always stop
TO find out how it came to he there. There
still fingers among us some trace OF the
old. PuritanicaI. uHliinching Interpretation
of the moral law. which condemned men

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
The First Formal Meeting since Its
REORGANIZATION.

For the first time since the reorganiza-
ton OF the Philippine Commission that
body met yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
at its rooms. SIS Vermont Avenue, and
became acquainted with each other. There
were present the full membership. which
includes Chairman W II. Taft, OF Ohio:
Dean c. Wooster, Michigan; Luke E.
Wright, Tennessee: Bernard Moses. Call
fornia. and Henry c. Ide. Vermont. Suisse
quent to the meeting the Commission went
to the War Department where they called
upon Secretary Root and held short con-
ference, nothing of which was given out.
This conference lasted for two hours
Every member said that no business was
transacted, and the chairman reiterated
the statement that the gathering had been
wholly devoid OF all official interest. NO
policy in regard to the movements of the
Commission was adopted. and another
meeting will be necessary before anything
can be done that will bear upon it's work.
At the coming meeting il is understood a
plan will be outlined which will be pre-
scented 10 the President for review and
criticism. The Commissioners called at
the White House after the meeting, held
a conference with the President. and dis
cussed. in a general way. the policy to be
adopted in the Philippines upon their ar
rival there
The date for the future meeting is left
entirely with the chairman, who will cali
the members by mail. The sailing OF the
Commission from San Francisco will be
somewhat retarded Instead of leaving
that port about the LIST OF April it will be
more likely the middle of the month be-
fore they are on their way to Manila

AN ENQUIRY ORDERED.


Secretary Root has determined upon a

condition of several of the Army trans
ports. A special enquiry WIS ordered yes
torday into the condition of the hospital
ships Missouri and Relief. and it is not i'm
probable that within few days there will
be further proceedings in the case of the
transport Manauense.
Seore;a-y Roots attention was called
particularly to the Missouri and Relief by
reason OF the large sums Of money just
asked for by the Quartermaster's Depart
ment to place them in serviceable condi-
ton The Missouri cost the Government

THE FISH TRUST FOR SALE.
A SIO.OUO.OOO Corporation Can he
bought for 100000.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Lawyer William
H. Corbin, representing Charles R. Hobbs
and Thomas E. Russell receivers of the
American Fisheries Company, otherwise
known as the Menhaden Trust, applied to
Vice Chancellor Pitney, in Jersey City to-
day. for permission to sell the plant and
raise s25, 600 on receivers certificates to
meet some pressing obligations.
The company is capitalized at $4,000. coo
and a majority of she stock is held by
small shareholders in England. The LA
bilities are $4,000. At the hearing to-
day s9,S14. 900 of the stock and s1S6,6s3 OF
the liabilities were represented. Mr.. Cor
bin said that the object of selling the plant
was to effect a reorganization and he asked
the vice chancellor to fix an upset price
If the sale is permitted. Captain Nathaniel
Church, general manager. said he did not
think the failure to catch fish last season
was any indication that the company would
not be successful in future. Vice Chancel-
Tor Pitney granted the application. He
fixed 10000 as the upset price for the
plant and that with the proceeds of the re-
ceivers certificates. 5000, will be suffi
cient to reorganize the company. The
plant will be purchased by the committee
