GRANT MADE RECEIVER.


Third Ayenue Line.
NEW YORK. March f6.-Hugh J. Grant
was appointed permanent receiver of the
Third Avenue Railroad Company this after
noon. The appointment was made through
an order issued by Judge L,acombe in the
United States Circuit Court. after hearing
parties in interest in the matter of the
Old Colony Trust Company against the
Third Avenue company. When the case
was called Judge Lacombe stated that the
chief question to be determined was
whether or not the condition of the prop
erty warranted the continuance OF the re-
ceiver. Upon that question, he said, he
was ready to hear all those in interest.
Francis Lynde Stetson, representing the
creditors protective committee, said there
appeared to be no doubt that the receiver
ship should be continued. and he. on behalf
of creditors holding S13, ,000,000 of the .S19.-
000, Geo total Indebtedness Of the company,
asked that Mr.. Grant be made the permu-
nent receiver William D. Guthrie and
Adrian H. Joline. representing other inter-
ests, also asked for Mr.. Grants appoint
ment- Judge Lacombe. looking toward Ed
ward Lauterbach asked if the relations be-
tween the plaintiff corporation and the de-
fendant corporation were practically the
same as two weeks ago. Mr.. Lauterbach
said that the defendant had no objection to
offer TO the appointment of Mr.. Grant.
The court thereupon signed the order
which made Mr.. Grant the permanent re-
ceiver his bond of S250,000 being con-
tinued Judge Lacombe then asked what
should be done in reference TO the issue of
receivers certificates. Mr.. Stet'on said
that he believed no conclusion had been
reached as yet as to what amount of re-
ceiver's certificates shouid be issued. He
took IL for granted that the court would
soon designate standing master in chan
Gerry 10 examine and report on all claims,
and when the report was made. Mr.. Stef-
son said some notion would then be OBJ
tanned as to the amount Of certificates TO

party agreement on the Porto Rican ques-
ton, as follows: Senator Foraker. Chair
man. and Senators Davis. Mcmillan Kean.

Mr.. Mcmillan is chairman.

A WARSHIP FOR CHINA.
admiral Watson Ordered to De-
spatck II Vessel to Taku Fort.

Information received at the State De-
partment from Minister CoHger at Pekin
that the anti-foredgn organization known
as the Boxers" was making threatening
demonstrations against, American mission
aries and other foreigners, resulted yes
terday in orders, eabled by Secretary Lcng
to Rear Admirall Watson at Manila. to
send a warship to Taku Fort, near Tein-
tsin, where disturbances are expected.
The selection OF the vessel for this SER
vice was left to Admiral watson's discre-
tion.
1t was said at the State Department that
the Navy Department was not asked to
send a warship to China on account OF
the statements made in a telegram 10 the
Department by the American Association
of Shanghai that the open door policy
was in jeopardy through the hatred or the
Empress Dowager for the reform or pro-
civilization element, but because OF Off
cial reports from Minister Conger about
the attitude of the Boxers" At the Navy
Department the explanation was made
that Admiral Watson was instructed to
send .he warship to protect American mis-
sionary interests.
Officials say they do not understand how
the open door policy. which is dictated by
the European powers, Japan, and the
United States. and not by the Empress
Dowager, can be affected by the opposition
of the Dowager to the reform movement,
but they admit that the Boxers" may
make it troublesome for the foreigners in
the Russian, German. and French spheres
of influence in China.
Taku Fort is at the mouth of the Taliu
River. on which Pckin is situated. Large
vessels cannot 60 farther up the river than
Tein- tsin, and at this season of the year
the ice in the river may prevent light-
draft vessels from ascending it for any dis

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
Aug. 21.-About $50 head of horses arrived
for the auction sale to-day, which is a
small increase over the same time last
week and a slight change compared
with the corresponding time a year
ago. If any different. the quality OK the
arrivals was more satisfactory than last
week. but there is still a very small pro-
portion that can be classed as choice
stock. There was a better attendance of
buyers from all points. especially from the
Eastern and foreign markets. Statesmen
tried to advance values, but it was soon
evident that this could not be done. On a
basis Of steady prices, however, there was
more life in the bidding and a better clear
ance was made than a week ago. The ar
rivals included some big horses that sold
as high as $50 per head, but most of the
chunks and drivers were reported at $3.50
12S. Among the well-hnown shippers on
the market were Lon Young. OF Crawfords-

limited. September touched 72Bq72Ac. and
then dropped on a very dull market to
71kc. AT this juncture the traders learned
the foreigners were buying, and from then
TO the end of the session this proved the
governing factor. September advanced to
721zc, but the announcement of the big in
crease in the worlds visible caused a drop
to 72h@72Ac. Shorts seized upon the dip
as a good time TO cover and September re-
covered sharply to 73c. closing strong, &c

Local receipts were go cars, 80 of contract

Corn was quiet, but strong. Hot weather
in Kansas, higher cables, small stocks and
the wheat strength kept shorts uneasy, as
did the light country acceptances. The cash
demand continued poor, because of the
September premium. The contract stock is
only 800, 900 blu, and the total in both public
and private houses, 2,020, 900 blu. Receipts
