New York, May 13.-Under reassuring
news from London to the effect that
basis of settlement with the Northern
Pacific shorts had been agreed upon and
that J. P. Morgan was lending the stock
fiat" for delivery in that market, the
stock exchange began business to-day
strong The first trading was well dis
tributed throughout the list and was at
prices generally higher than the close on
Friday. Union Pacific sold at lie a few
minutes after 10 o'clock, showing a gain
of $40 a share as compared with Thurs
days low point.
Developments in the Northern Pacific
situation are awaited with the keenest
interest, but it was the general opinion in
Wall street to-day that 1t would be some
time before the question of control would
be definitely settled. 1t is believed that
one party to the controversy holds con-
troll through the preferred stock and that
several intricate legal points are involved
concerning the report of the directors Of
the company to retire the preferred stock
at par and thus deprive it of its voting
power.
Union Pacific Up.
The heavy buying of Union Pacific.
which up to the present has not been ex-
planned, has continued to-day and during
the first half hour of trading the price
rose on large transactions to 12S.
The rise in Union Pacific was accom-
panied by a similar but not an extensive
movement in Amalgamated Copper, which,
after opening at 116%, sold up to 12OA,
an advance of 81 as compared with Fri
days close. 1t subsequently declined to
11S1s.
There were selling orders in Union Pa
cifc above 12O and the stock fell back
to 1167s, but an immediate rally followed.
Toward noon the market became quieter
and weaker and generally declined on
small transactions.
There was no sale of Northern Pacific
common until 1880. when sale of 100
shares was made at 100, an advance of 10
points from Fridays last sale.

STEAMER GOESDOW
The City of Paducah Strikes Snag
and Sinks.
DOUBTLESS SEVERAL LIVES LOST
Two Passengers Drowned and the
rate of a Score of Men Is
Unknown.

st. Louis, May 13.-A telegram from
Chester, ILL.,, states the steamer City Of
Paducah, Of the St. Louis and Tennessee
River Packet company, struck snag and
sank while backing out from Bunkhorn
Landing between here and Grand Tower
about o'clock last night. 1t is reported
that one passenger was drowned and
that eight or nine of the crew are miss
ing. The boat is total loss. The
steamer City of Clifton, of the same line,
passed up shortly after the accident and
took on board the crew and passengers.
Captain Massengale, agent of the pack
ct line here, has received a dispatch from
the clerk of the City of Paducah reporting
the sinking of the boat, without mention
of loss of life. This, coupled with the
fact that the Paducah carries only few
passengers and light cargo, would indi
cate that the reports Of heavy loss of life
are untrue.
The latest advices received by Captain
Massengale are that two passengers and
the deck watchman were drowned by the
sinking of the City Of Paducah, but they
make no mention of any of the crew be-
ing lost or missing. There were only four
cabin passengers on the boat when she
left here, and four "deckers."
Miss Mabel Gardiner, of this city, was
one of the lost.
A dispatch from Captain McCook of the
steamer City of Clifton, which took on
board the passengers and crew of the
wrecked steamer at Chester, is quoted as
saying that twelve negro deckhands are
missing, but it is thought they have wan
dered away in the woods
The boat was valued at 900 and fully
insured.
A dispatch received this afternoon from
Captain Kirkpatrick of the wrecked
steamer states positively that so far as
he knows only two passengers were
drowned. They were Miss Mabel Gardiner
of st. Louis and man named Bell, whose
residence is unknown. Twenty colored
deckhands are missing. Efforts are being
made to break through the roof of the
cabin to ascertain if there are any more

Heads OF National Labor Organiza-
tiOns in Conference.

Washington, May 13--Conferences were
in progress in this city to-day between
President O'Connen of the International
Association of Machinists, President Com
pers of the American Federation of Labor,
and officials of several of the metal trades,
other than the maehinists, considering the
moral and financial support TO be given

At 2s3O o'clock this afternoon, Presi-
dent O'Connen said the outlook was en-
couraging for a successful strike in many
localities throughout the country. A num-
ber of the firms not now complying with
the arrangement entered into between the
machinists and the association of employ
ers as to a ninehour day signed to-day
and Mr.. O'Connen predicts that a large
number Of these will have signed by May
20. He said the strike will affect at least
100 900 men directly and over that num-
Der Of allied mechanics indirectly.

LONDON NERVOUS
1t Is Feared the Relief May BE Only
Temporary.

London, May 13.-GeneraI satisfaction
has been expressed on the stock exchange
here over the tentative settlement of the
Northern Pacific crisis. The representa-
tive here of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Powell
Jackson Geoger, said to representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
There is much nervousness in view of the
fact that the relief may be only temporary
and that another crisis will be precipitated
by the action of either Mr.. Morgan or Mr..
Hartman. The SUSPENSION of the settle
ment announced by the committee this morn
ing is indefinite duration but each day
gained helps the liquidation of accounts The
brokers worse affected generally hold options
on Northern Pacific they can realize in
June and July, In the meantime, salvation
depends on the leniency of Mr.. Morgan and
Kuhn, Loeb &Co.
1t is understood that Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
as well as Mr.. Morgan, are quietly lending
shares to their friends who have been
caught in the squeeze. The committee
also decided that the settling price for
preferred was to be 11O, but the amount
involved is of minor Importance

KEENE's OPINION
1t Is That Morgan and Hill Control
Northern Pacific,

New York, May 1S.-James R. Keene, in
an interview said:
believe Morgan and Hill have control of
tne Northern Pacific Some time before
the so-called panic, J.. Pierpont Morgan q
Co. bought 10000 shares of Northern Pa
clnc stock through Talbert j. Taylor & Co.
The order was executed so quickly and with
SO much suddenness that the purchases were
made before any one could just determine
what the buying meant, whether it was for
speculative account or something else. All
the stock Morgan & Co. bought was deiiy-
cred to them. Then the other side began
buying.
The Times says
1t was learned late last night from a source
that should be in a position to be well in
formed, that actual stockholding interests in
Northern Pacific Of the Hartman people
is sufficient to give them control of the prop
erty, this regardless of commitments for fu-
ture delivery Of stocks.

TOUCHING

H. Conger from saying squarely that he
would be pleased to receive the repubn-
can nomination for governor of Iowa is
nothing but a sense of his duty to the
administration and government as United
States minister to China His uncertain
attitude is not pleasing to many republi-
cans Of that state. Mr.. Conger is en-
barrassing the party there. He denies
that he is a candidate, but intimates that
he would run if nominated. Moreover, the
program which Mr.. Conger now seems to
contemplate, namely, a return to his post
at Peking in July and resignation as min
lister in August or September in case he
is nominated for governor, is not quite
fair to the administration.

Cures Victims of Drugs.

cure the victims of the morphine and
other drug habits and most impress
sive list of well-known clergymen have
registered themselves in support of the
scheme, which is conducted by DR.. w.

The plans of DR.. Riches work and
the means by which he hopes to make
it effectual are to be made public as
soon as possible. All that is withheld
from the public is the elements of the
mysterious compound, which is. DR..
Richie alleges, an absolutely infallible
panacea.

the lowest levels Of degradation have

ly indorse the cure, and the testimonials
appear so convincing that the clergy

strength of it feel absolutely sure Of
Its ctncacy.
DR.. Richie says that he obtained the
cure from a friend of his, who in turn
obtained Ii from German savant. The
friend referred to, having once become
the slave Of morphine and having but
cents left in the world, converted it
into a Scent stamp to address q .etter

cure. The recipe came, was made use
