AVOID CARDS ON THE OCEAN.
Alleged Gamblers and Sharper,
Working Transatlantic Lines.

Alleged Gamblers and shnrpers
Working Transatlantic Lines.
From the London Mal)
A we'll organized and dangerous gang OF
card sharpers have recently infested the
great steamships plying between the prin-
cipal British ports and New York.
They travel by twos and threes. and
manage to split up their organization in
such fashion that the same two or three
are seldom seen In the same ship more
than once or twice In the season.
Their operations are confined mainly to
poker playing in the smoking room. though
they do not disdain to take hand at any
thing that will bring in honest penny.
They invariably board the ship by which
they have taken passage as total strangers
to each other. maange to scrape up an ac-
quaintance after the first five or six hours
out. and soon the game goes merrily On,
with from two to three verdant American
and English travellers with more money
than sense as victims of the professional
organization.
These travelling card sharpers make little
effort at concealment OF their business,
though as matter OF form they profess
to be coffee merchants, cattle ranches,
iron masters, or bankers, as the case may
be. The officials of the steamship are ap-
parently powerless to put an end to their
practices, and state that SO long as the
passengers do lot complain they cannot
interfere.
Here and there one sees vigilant purser
mailing up on the notice board a warning
against professional card players, but this
is seldom, il ever, needed The steamship
companies themselves profess to be ignor
ant of the proceedings on board their ships,
and state that they do everything in their
power to protect their passengers against
robbery, but old travellers state that the
evil is becoming worse, and that there Is
now scarcely large ship crossing between
New York and Liverpool and Southampton
on which at least brace Of these precious
rascals are not to be seen hard at work
fleeing their fellow passengers of their
money.
Scotland Yard, too, is alive to the scandal
of the Atlantic, but the detectives say that
as long as there Is no complaint they, too,
are powerless, though they would be most
pleased to see the dangerous gang broken
up.
There will be immense crowds on the At
lantic liners from New York during the
coming season, and If the steamship COM
panies do not take the gambling frater-
nifty in hand there will be many poorer
but wiser holiday maker on board their
ships.

PRESIDENT J. j. HILLS VIEWS.
Railroad MaRnate Discusses the
Policy of Trnnx-ContinentnI Lines.


Policy of Trans-COntinental Lines.
NEW YORK. June 9.-President ]. J.
HILL of the Great Northern Railroad, got
here on the steamship st. Louis from Liv-
erpool this afternoon. Mr.. Hill said he
had had an agreeable holiday and had
formed that since his departure the Balti-
more and Ohio, Of which he is director,
and the Pennsylvania roads had been cred
tied with buying control of the Jersey
Central, he smiled and said:
We'll, don't know anything about
that"
Asked about the effect of the war in
South Africa upon American securities in
Europe, Mr.. Hill said:
II do not think many American securities
are held in Europe at present. Most OF
them have come back to US within the past
ten years.
The subject of Western railroads in
creasing their dividends was preached, and
Mr.. Hill was asked II he thought the time
was ripe for the trans-continental lines to
adopt that policy. His attention was called
to the fact that the Atchison had just in
creased its dividend on preferred stock to
per cent basis and that Wall Street
was expecting the Northern Pacific to in
crease its dividend to per cent basis.
We'll, don't know anything about the
affairs of the roads you mention and. there
fore, do not care to comment on anything
they may do said Mr.. Hill. But 1t is
my opinion that this year is going to be
little rocky. There is more or less uncer-
tainty about the crops and it is Presi-
Dental campaign year. 1t seems to me
that it will be we'll for US all to go little

ENGAGED TO A GHOST.
Interesting Development. in 81
Louis Divorce Suit.

Interesting Developments In n st.
Louis Divorce Suit.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 9.-It has de-
veloped frotn dispositions filed in the Cir
cult Court that the ghost of William J..
Florence, celebrated actor, and at one time
partner of Joseph Jefferson, will play a
leading part In st. Louis divorce suit,
which comes UP for trial here next Tues
day.
The case Is that OF Mrs. Lou Bates,
whose husband, Charles L. Bates, seeks
to resist legal separation from his wife.
According to the testimony introduced,
Mrs. Lou Bates is engaged to marry the
spirit of w. ]. Florence in the next world
Mrs. Bates, according to the evidence, says
that she made love at different times to
the ghost Of the departed actor.
Mrs. Bates is the plaintiff in the suit
for divorce. The husband, Charles L.
Bates, who is head OF the diamond depart
ment Of a large jewelry house. is the de-
PENDANT. The bringing Of a divorce suit By
Mrs Bates last fall caused great surprise.
Mrs. Bates went to New York to become a
dramatist shortly before the suit was
brought. The husband filed cross suit.
and then news reached st. Louis that an
attempt had been made to kidnap Charles
l.. Bates, jr., from the mother while she
was residing in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Louis N. Patterson, a daughter,
whose home Is in San Francisco, gave EVIL
dence against her mother in which she
said: Mamma never went to church She
spoke to me frequently Of Mr. FIorence-S
ghost, and told me that he would be her
husband in the next world
Mrs. Esther B. Biggers, Of San Fran
cisco, another daughter, is also arrayed
against the mother. She added a link 10
the ghost evidence by stating that Mrs.
Bates had picture Of Mr.. Florence on
the wall OF her room. Mrs. Matte Brazil,
of Kirkwood, gave the most important
testimony about the ghost. She said in
part:
MRS. Bates had often spoken to me Of
meeting the ghost of William Florence, an
actor, long since dead She told me how
she made love to his spirit, and when /
was dubious she informed me that though
1t was spirit he was just as tangible as
il he had been mortal and existed in the
flesh.
II am a Spiritualst, and believe that
spirit can appear in person. Whenever 1t
appears it can dominate the actions of any
person 1t pervades. Mrs. Bates also told
me that her husband would die-that she
had premonition to that effect and
named date"
Miss Helen Bates takes the side of her
mother She says that her father kissed
Mrs. Wilson, OF Ell Paso, Tex.
Mrs. Bates during part Of her residence
in st. Louis was one Of the leading mem
bers OF Trinity Protestant Episcopal
Church. She was admitted into the high
est social circles up to the time she
espoused Spiritualism. Mrs. Bates had
always had fondness for the stage.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Weather Reports Cause n
sharp Break in Wheat.

CHICAGO. June 9.-Rains in the North
west, with predictions for more tonight,
and the feeble response Of foreign mar
kets, Liverpool being up only 3-4d' and
Paris 1-2c, were responsible for the sharp
break in wheat today. Realizing was on
a heavy scale and a great many stop loss
orders were reported. With the above
conditions the support was naturally not
SO good as it was the previous three days.
The market closed at the lowest price,
with local traders generally selling. There
was no cash business done here or at the
seaboard. The visible supply will show
little change.
Corn prices tonight were fully 1c under
Friday. The opening was so irregular as
to be over a range of almost cent. Liv-
erpool was 3-SG1-2d higher.
Oats lost 3Sc compared with Friday.
Country offerings are somewhat increased.
The shipping demand has been small to-
day Inspection was 225 cars, with 200
for Monday. Clearances were almost
400, 900 bushels.
Provisions felt the weakness in grain.
They ruled lower and closed rather easy
at the decline. Liberal selling of lard by
leading longs was a prominent feature.
There was some selling by the smaller
packers also. The buying was mainly by
commission houses.

HEAVY SELLING ABROAD
Caused by Unfavorable Crap Prize e
From the Northwest.
Moderate Rally Cnused by the Cow
situation Considered Dull md Pro-
fessionnl-BRnk Statement Shows
Small Decrease in Money.

NEW YORK. June 9.-There was fur
Their decline at the opening this morning,
resulting from the impetus given to the
selling movement yesterday on unfavora-
BILE prices from the Northwest regarding
The condition of the wheat crop. The SELL
ing movement extended to London and
about 10000 shares were sold on balance
by foreign arbitrage houses.
The selling movement became exhausted
before the end of the first hour and then
the covering of short contracts by traders
who desired to close their commitments
at the end of the week caused moderate
rally. This movement was accompanied
by rumors that rains had begun to fall in
the wheat growing sections of the North
west and as the market for wheat ex-
perienced reaction Wall Street jumped
to the conclusion that some Improvement
had really taken place in the crop situa-
ton.
AS a matter of fact, the stock market
was dull and professional from start to
finish, hence fluctuations were without
significance.
The weekly statement Of averages of the
associated banks shows a small decrease
In lawful money. An increase of nearly
$1,000. 600 in the loans is generally attrib-
uted TO the taking up Of stocks by some
of the larger speculative holders, who
have found il cheaper to carry their stocks
in bank loans than in brokerage Offices.
The net result is reduction in the surplus
reserve Of one and three-Quarter millions
The banks are liable to sustain fur
Their depletion of their cash by the call OF
the Treasury Department for 100000
more of the Government deposits in the
national banks. 1t is hardly necessary to
recount the events Of the week having
bearing on the value of securities, for the
reason that they have been only indiner-
entity reflected in the market The devel-
opments have failed to change the senti-
ment which exists both here and abroad
TO the effect that it is undesirable to make
such commitments pending the readjust-
ment Of the prices Of commodities, the
political campaign in this country, and
the uncertain conditions of international
Affairs in Europe and Asia.

Tn. Local security Market.

The dealings on the local stock ex-
change this week have been of more than
usual interest owing to the buoyancy and
strength of Washington Gas stock, in con-
nection with the now generally believed
statement that the company will declare
81 extra dividend next month A sharp
advance in Telephone stock, heavy deal
ings in MeIgenthaler Linotype, and activ-
ity in Capital Traction and one or two
other securities have also helped to make
the week important to brokers and
traders. In general it may be said that
the market has been much better than
the New York stock market, which has
been rather weak for the most part. Lo-
cal investors do not wish to sell their Sc
curities at present prices, and every day
there is some investment buying. Nearly
all of the shorts, the new party in the
Washington market, have had a rather
disagreeable experience with Mergenthaler
and Gas and Telephone, and 1t is not likely
that they will care to go short of the
market again in the immediate future.
Money continues easy here, as 1t is in
New York.
The two features of the market have
