GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, April Naturalization on q
large scale in the Steel stocks resulted In a
disappointing market for all classes Of Sc
curities this morning Labor troubles. pro-
fessional attacks and numerous devices
were added to the recent dividend episode
as depressing influences in the industrial
department.
The railroad list withstoed the early at
tack and some very good buying was re-
ported In the Pacific and Baltimore and
Ohio group. These shares were all opened
at substantial gains. but the supply of stock
soon broke through the supporting orders
and declines varying from / to 2tg per cent
were recorded during the afternoon
The buying at the declines was called
good, but the attempt to force an advance
was abandoned
In order to emphasize their ADVANTAGE
the selling party made aggressive at
tack upon Rock Island Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Peoples Gas This move was
deliberate attempt to keep this group to-
gether, with Federal Steel under pressure
IN the hope of forcing liquida ton by the
cllents OF a house supposed to represent
all these issues
The desire served to increase the offer
lngs by the room, and the market at one
time had an appearance of decided weak
ness. While the decline was at its height
there was no especially significant news Of
Tered in justification of it, but explanations
were unnecessary
The information on the railway stocks has
all been onesided, and in some quarters this
1act has created suspicion. The fear that
the larger interests were planning a way
OF escape prompted many traders to sell.
and in a very considerable degree the short
interest was increased by the same argu-
ment.
AT the present level of prices the market
Is not likely to be allowed to move in one
direction alone. The street has two WE'LL
organized factions to contend with, and
rallies and declines are likely to follow each
other in rapid succession.
The money market was easy. and from
| this source there is no immediate danger
The subtreasury continues to he a debtor
| to The clearing house and the banks are in
| creasing their funds in consequence Since
last weeks bank statement was made IN
the banks have gained over s., 9sO,eee from
the subtreasury. The money market was
| ignored during the day. and I'm the same
manner the many railroad consultations
! Were passed over. London resumes business
| tomorrow morning and some new business
| may come in from that center.

CROTON DAM N. Y, April 1G-The
Mount Vernon and Yonkers miIitiamen, 100
strong. have arrived here and will camp
on an elevation near the quarres Their
coming was not attended by any demon

Up to 10 o'clock today there was not a
move made by the contractors or their rep

new dam.
1t was learned that application for war
rants for the arrest of the leaders had been
made ana arrests may occur at any time
About O'Clock this morning about 100 of
the strikers gathered on the top of the hill
near what is called Little Italy and they
were talked to in Italian by the leaders
About forty of the men on the hill were
armed with rifles and shotguns Many of
the others carried revolvers and two of
them had hatchets. The leaders refused to
talk with reporters of their plans for to-
day.
Everything in the valley below WAS at a

were current throughout the night, but 50
far everything is quiet and orderly There
is no doubt the striking Italians are in pos
session of a lot of dynamite, and they are
accustomed to the handling of the ex-
piosive. The old dam is entirely unpro-
teoted When the result of the conference
at New York was circulated among the
men last night, and they knew that the
militia were ordered here, the spirit of re-
ststance visibly increased and the recog-
nized leader of the strikers made the boast
that the fight would be continued until the
men got what they demanded
meeting of the strikers was called for

the leaders turned up at the appointed

NO JUROR OF HIS COLOR,
Seth Carriers Plea Wins Before thu
Supreme Court.

Justice Gray handed down the opinion of
the Supreme Court today in the case Of
Seth Carter versus the state of Texas.
Carter is negro under indictment In Gal
weston, Texas, on the charge of numbering
another person of his race.
He moved to quash the indictment on the
ground that Notwithstanding one-fourth of
the population was of the colored race no
members of that race were included in the
panel. He asked leave to Introduce testi-
mony to this effect, but the petition was not
granted. the court overruling the motion
without making any investigation.
The state court of criminal appeals sus-
tanned the trial court on the ground that no
evidence had been offered on the point
raised. The justice said that this was a
false assumption. ir asmuch as the testi-
mony had been rendered. BY this tender
Carter had saved his rights under the con-
stitution.
Hence the decision was reversed and the
case remanded.

Sir: I return to you, here Enclosed. an

It is impossible for me to believe that
you have advisedly asked me, the repre-
sentative of Spain, to go to your city and
rejoice with you on the destruction of the
Spanish ships and on the death Of so many
brave saflors-my compatriots.
That would have been simply an insult;
and as / do not deserve it, and it cannot
have been in your intention, 1 am perfectly
sure as say that all this is the result of
an error.
