Representative Lentz Of Ohio introduced
in the House yesterday afternoon a joint
resolution calling for the withdrawal of
Federal troops from the Occur dAlene
district in Idaho The resolution recites
that the further use of the troops of the
United States in aiding and assisting in
the maintenance Of martial law within that
county is improper, unnecessary and I'M
lawful. 1t calls for the revocation of the
labor permit system which prevails in
that country and tor the restoration of
the writ of habeas corpus.
1t is contended that the Federal troops
have been loaned 10 mine owners to
drive union miners out of the Shoshone
County mines, that scab labor may be used
altogether. At present i, is unlawful TO
employ a man who has not obtained a per
NIT and this cannot De obtained unless
the applicant swears mat he is not a
member of miners union. II he be
found at work withou: permit he may
be committed to jail on the general charge
of violating a proclamation of the Gov
ernor and being once committed the writ
of habeas corpus is denied him. Should
any mining company employ man with
out a duly signed permit to work, the
Governor claims the right to close that
mine indefinitely.
The resolution of Mr. Lentz sets forth
that mob on April 90, 1899 destroyed
the concentrating plant Of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines and then dispersed,
and that ever since that date the county
of Shoshone has been in state of peace.
bot aad for
martial law in that district, that reason
has long ceased to exist. 1t is pointed
out that The reports of the military officers
show that no instruction prevails in the
county.
The resolution recites that innocent men
are held without trial, without a specific
charge being lodged against them. and
without recourse to habeas corpus. 1t is
held in the resolution that to punish man
for working without a permit is to estab-
lish a crime unknown to the law, which
abrogates the right of contract and ere
ates the relations of master and slave.
The test of the resolution follows:
Whereas on the 29th day Of April, 1899,
an armed mob destroyed thu concentrating
plant of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines, at Wardner. in Shoshone County,
State of Idaho and killed one person and
wounded two Others and thereafter dis
persed from the scene OF riot. and
Whereas on the Sd day of May, 1899.
the Governor Of the State Of Idaho declared
said county to be in state of insurrec-
ton and rebellion, and
Whereas the President of the United
States, upon the request Of said Governor,
sent TO the said county OF Shoshone Federal
troops, under the command Of Brigadier
General Merriam. to aid the Governor in
maintaining law and o.Ier therein. and
Whereas the said county was placed
under martial law. and has ever since that
date been and now is under martial law,
and the Federal troops, Of the United
States have al all times since said Sd day
of May been and now are within said coun-
ty by virtue of the request OF said Gov
ernor and the order of the President of the
United States, and

BONDS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The stock market was irregular on a light vol
une of business. with final price changes at
small net losses in the greater-number of issues
Third Avenue stock as an exception, showing
marked strength. and for time its price f1uc-
tuations Influenced the whole market in the di-
Tection of higher quotations. A movement in
one stock is likely affect the general market.
especially when speculation is in the hands of
traders and the advancing tendency NOTED in
the midday dealings yesterday should not, there
fore be taken as indication of active public
buying support by substantial market inter
ests The last-named interests are supporting
the market indirectly by selling: but they
not buying, save in certain issues where
special reasons exist for absorbing stocks.
The greater number of important market in
terests are out Of town. An active bull specula-
ton at the moment is not desired by the leading
operators. and pending a change in money
market conditions trading will doubtless remain
in the hands of the trading element. And the
trading element, it should be borne in mind. is
generally bearish. At present prices American
railroad stocks and good industrial issues are
intrinscaIly cheap. There is nothing in trade
conditions monetary conditions that
rants liquidation by investors we'll protected
specuators; is there anything in the polit-
ical situation that should frighten capital. But
speculative declines may be forced by higher
money rates and bear attacks. and until evil
dence of concerted bull campaigning is reflected
In market dealings there should be caution in
speculation.
While the advance in Third Avenue stock is
commonly thought to represent manipulation
alone, there some people who believe that
the upward movement will be followed by
announcement that the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company is in control of the road.
It is known in certain quarters Of the Street
haf init fed wifi leading
capitalists in the Metropolitan company have
acquired large blocks of Third Avenue stock
all the way up from As. and 5000 shares
would carry control Of the property, it is rea-
sonable TO assume that the capitalists in Met
ropolitan would not find it difficult 10 subscribe
TO that amount of stock more. The Metro
Ioitan officers assert that they do not care for
the Third Avenue system. its tracks paral
lei their own. but the greater part of the
Metropolitan system is made up of parallel lines.
the argument named has little weight with Wall
Street. The advance in Third Avenue stock
from 45 to 30 reflects the company's improved
prospects as regards its future control, rather
than any change for the better in the position
of the company's financial affairs. The traction
shares are in interesting speculative posi-
ton, but big margins may be required to finance
the local transportation companies, including
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit-which has the big
gest mileage Of any street railway in the coun-
try-is increasing with the growth of the city
and the stocks will not always be floating about
as at present for the sport of spectators
