REMARKABLE FINANCES.
Stock Market Ends the Year in Splen-
did Condition.

New York, Dec. 29.-The breadth and
animation of the stock market have
continued unabated during the closing
week of the year. All efforts of pro-
fessional bears to work a general re-
action have been defeated although
special stocks have shown sharp weak
ness at different times, and the volume
of profit taking has been at all times
quite heavy. But the general demand
has been at all times heavy and COM
prehensive as to absorb all demands
and maintain an undertone of strength
unimpaired. The expected stringency
of money has failed to develop, not
withstanding the large requirements for
the yearly settlements and the furious
activity of the stock market. Bears who
sold the market in expectation of strin-
gency We're obliged to cover, lending to
the strength. Railway bonds have been
in increasing demand at advancing
prices.

1900 A GOOD YEAR

and Strikes. AZ

New York, Dec. 29.-Bradstreets. In its
issue today, will say:
THE business year 1900 was not so
good as the Optimists had hoped for,
but, on the other hand. 1t failed to JUS
tify most of the pessimistic predictions.
In some respects, indeed, it would seem
as if it suffered because of close com
parison with year of such enormous
expansion and intense activity in all
branches of trade, speculation and In
dustry as 1899. rather than because of
any special defects or shortcomings Of
the year itself. In many respects, in
deed ,and measured by different stand
ards. the closing year of the century has
witnessed many gains over 1899. though
1t is proba bic that the entire turnover.
measured in dollars or in profit. was not
so great as in the latter year If ag-
gregate bank clearings be taken as a
guide. then business was smaller and
yet, if clearings at the great speculative
center New York. are deducted. an ac-
tual gain is shown in the rest of the
country over 1S99 Speculation in stocks
was undoubtedly smaller than last year.
being probably one-fifth less. Specula-
ton in the cereals was less active and
depressed. On the other hand, cotton
| witnessed the greatest speculation and
the highest prices paid for at least de-
cade Crop yields We're rather smaller
as a whole. but it is unquestioned that
| the actual money value of the crops was
| far in excess of last year Prices reacted
from their high point. but the decline
! was small as rule in iron and wool.
and the break brought in new consump-
tion buying. which had been discouraged
| by the rapidity of the advance in 1899.
| Mercantile failures were slightly more
numerous and liabilities were fraction
ally larger than in 1899, but We're far be-
low recent previous years, and If 1t be
kept in mind that new army of $4,000
men entered business during the year,
| the small increase in failures can be
hardly regarded as significant. There
| were two great industrial conflicts dur
| ing the year-that of the building trades
| at Chicago and of the coal miners in
Pennsylvania-which tended. in conjunc-
| ton with electric uncertainty and textile
mill shut downs. to check trade during
portions of the year. but industry other
wise was quite active. at good wages.

That no difference exist between EN-

by the many exchanges of courtesies be-

LOSS OF THE YOSEMITE.
Members of the Crew Tell of tho Wreck
Of tho Cruiser.


Manila, Dee. o.--lmo members of the
crew of the United States auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite, which recently foun-
dered during q typhoon off the coast Of
Guam, have arrived at Cavite on board
the United States transport Alabama,
which left Guam November rs with
severty-five marines, who had been
transferred from Cavite to Guam. The
names of the two men Of the wrecked
vessel are John Barry, carpenter. and
Henry Cooligan n hospital apprentice.
Barry hfad much to do with the rigging
up of steering gear and in other at
tempts to save the Yosemite. A boom
fifty feet long and a foot thick, which
was rigged over her stern, snapped off
when attempts were made to steer with
1t. By the time Stouter arrangement
was made what was left of the propel-
Ter was almost out of the water and
the steamer was constantly setting
lower by the head No progress was
possible, and all on board thought their
last moment had come. The discipline
on board was good.
After the Yosemite had dlifted shores
ward from her anchorage she pounded
on reef. The wind shifted With ex-
IRENE suddenness and terrific fury, and
carried the vessel out through such a
narrow outlet in the harbor that no one
understood how She got through. Ii
was very dark and thick. The spray
was binding and the wind threatened
to sweep the men into the water at any
moment.
When asked whether there was amy
criticism among the men of the OFF,
GERS action in abandoning the ship the
men interviewed replied that practi-
caliy every man conceded all had been
done that m - irnl,Np I'd on
donment of the vessel was the only
course left. The officials report as
serted that the sea valves We're opened
finally to expedite the sinking. Barry
and Coolisan said they knew nothing
as to that point. but the attempt of
the United States collier Justin to tow
the cruiser was useless, and the Yose-
mite would Inevitably have sunk The
two men said they believed there was
some difficulty With the pumps in get
ting water out of the forward compart-
ment, but the hole in the bottom was
go big that the cruiser must have sunk
no matter what had been done
Several marines who We're at Agan,
Guam, during the typhoon said that
three-quarters of the town was under
water, and that all the dwellings were
destroyed excepting those having tiled
roofs. TIE corrugated iron roofs sur
mounting the government buildings
md residences We're for the most part
lifted bodily.
The marines waded about and assist
ed women and children to places of
refuge. The natives, after their losses,
made but feeble efforts to repair the
damage.
In the Judgment of naval officers the
abandonment of the Yosemite was the
only course feasible. the feeling being
that the Justin might have stood by
longer. but that the result would have
been the same.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
Several Constitutions introduced and Dis
1usscl.


Havana, Dec. 6.--The Cuban ccnsti-
tutional convention resumed its sittings
again yesterday with an air OF bust
ness. The first thing was to defeat,
overwhelmingly, the motion of Senior
Gaulber to Gomez 20 discuss General
Woods address at the opening of the
convention. This action probably will
close the incident.
Complete constitutions We're sub
mitted by Rivero, Senior Quesada and
the colored general, Nlorua, respect
fully.
General Rivera's proposed constitu-
ton provides for Il president and IL SEN
ate. o house of Representatives. a gov
ernor for each of the six provinces. a
legislative body for each province. and
for one member of the house OF repre-
sentstives for 10000 Inhabitants with
election by popular vote. His scheme
called also for the election of three
electors in each municipal district.
whose duty 1t shall be to elect esis-
iative body of eleven for the province In.
which they reside. This legislative
body shall elect the governor and four
members of the senate. Finally the
legislature shall meet and choose the
president, who must be native Gu
ban. Candidates for senatorial honors
must have incomes of at least 81 500 n
year.
General Riveras idea is to have the
power vested in the central government
and the convention virtually pledged
itself 10 one state government at yes
terdays secret session
fenor de Quesada's proposal would
centralize the government in a presl-
dent. senate and house of representa-
tiNcs elected by the people, suffrage be-
ing restricted to educational qualiflca-
tions.
