NEW YORK, April 4.-Today's stock
market reflected a steady inquiry for the
railway stocks and majority of them re-
sponded easily to the demand. London's
buying of Union Pacific was the most sig
nificant feature Of the day. large blocks of
the common stock being taken by foreign
houses. After opening at an advance of 3.
per cent, steady buying forced the price
well above 60, and confident demand pre-
vented any material reaction
The idea of an early ratification of the
Northwestern lease, with a possible divi-
dend guarantee was said to have become
general in London and to have met with
unqualified Endorsement. The meeting of
Messrs. Morgan and Vanderbilt abroad
while said to have been arranged in the
interest of a coal consolidation, is thought
to have included the subject of the Union
Pacific lease.
The character of the demand for the lat
ter shares attracted widespread attention
and had a beneficial influence on the neigh
boring Pacific issues. particularly Northern
Pacific. Southern Pacific Jagged, pending
some definite information from the annual
meeting.
The Coal stocks were well bought during
the day, and pending developments are
thought to be working for the good of the
better known members of this group. The
came to pass during the early afternoon. a
per cent advance following a rapid and
urgent demand from variety of sources.
A short interest helped to advance the
price, Should present rumors of a Wander

to the mutual loss of all.
The decision of Baltimore and Ohio di-
rectors to issue $4,000 shares of new stock
and allot the amount to stockholders at 80
per cent of par is equivalent to sixteen and
one-half shares for each hundred shares
owned. The fixing Of the price at so is said
to have been determined on after a care

poets. and the new issue Is underwritten
at that price.

AT HIS OWN REQUEST.
Why Capt. Lenry Was Relieved of the
Command of Guam.

To set at rest some stories that have
been in circulation to the effect that Capt
Leary is to be relieved of the naval gov
ernorShip of the Island of Guam because OF
dtssa tisfactiOn with his administration of
affairs the Navy Department has seen fit
to establish beyond question the fact that
the officer is TO be relieved solely al his own
instance. 1t is stated, moreover, that the
department IS more than satisfied with the
manner in which Capt Leary has discharg-
ed the difficult and delicate duties contided
to his care. proof of his success being con-
tanned in the elaborate report on Guam re-
Gently submitted by Gen. Wheeler.
That Captain Leary himself applied for
relief in advance of the announcement from
the department that a change was to be
made in the naval command Of Guam is
evidenced by the date of the following let
ter:

Lincoln, Sept. 1S.-The September
term of the supreme court began this
morning and among the first cases
which will be considered are the ones
of the state against the Burlington
and Elkhorn railroads. testing the con
stitutionality of the act creating the
state board of transportation. All
other cases that have been instituted
against Nebraska railroads for viola
ton of orders of the board of trans
portation or the provisions of the max
imum freight rate law will be contin-
ued pending decision of the two
eases set for hearing today. The
Standard Oil trust case has been as
signed for hearing, but as the referees
will not be prepared to report their
findings, it also will be continued.
