PEKIN. March R.--A general meeting of
the foreign minister's was held today, at
which the reports of the committees were

The report ofIthe committee on the gen.

should be considered was adopted. Those
claims which are paIpably unjust will be
disallowed. fJ*' ~
Mr. Rockhilrs proposition providing for
daily meetings OF the ministers will be fol-
lowed so far as practical When any min
lister is unable to- attend meetings the
meeting will not take place. Otherwise
the meetings will occur daily.
The report of the Committee on legation
quarter defenses will probably be consid-
cred tomorrow. Though the committee has
declined to notify the Chinese owners Of
property confiscated, the register of claims
Of the ministers will probably, where just
see that the amount involved Is added to
the total of the general indemnity. The
ministers will soon meet Prince Ching and

FILES A PROTEST,
Objections to the Driving of Hogs
Through Florida Avenue.

Mr. Z. c. F'inney of 33 Florida avenue
has filed with the District Commissioners
a protest against the practice of driving
hogs along Florida avenue. Almost every
night. he states, large droves of these ami
mails driven up Florida avenue, to the
great annoyance, inconvenience and dam
age of residents and property owners He
complains that the grunting and squealing
of the hogs and the shouts of the negro
drivers render sleep out of the question
while they are passing, to say nothing of
the filth and dirt they carry and spread
upon the street.
The droVeS are sometimes stopped on the
street to permit the drivers to capture
stray hog, and sometimes they remain In
the vicinity for half an hour. Upon one
of these occasions, says Mr. Finney the
animals ruined the parking by roofing up
the grass and every living thing upon 1t
except the trees, even loosening some of
the bricks In the sidewalks. Only locked
doors kept them out of the houses and the
next morning the street and parking re-
sembled an old-fashioned hog waIloW more
than anything else.
Making a hog run of this otherwise
handsome avenue" says Mr.. Finney rem
ders 1t a very undesirable place to live
and will soon depreciate the price of the
adjoining property. Will you not exercise
your authority to have this nuisance
abated. and, If hogs must pass through
the city. compel the owners to haul them
in wagons"
Mr.. Finney's protest will probably be
referred to the police department.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Leaders on Both Sides Averse tt
DiscussfnG 1t.

Leaders on Both Sides Averse to
DiscussfnG 1t.
The leading men of both parties are ex-
tremely reserved In the discussion Of the
political outlook, in light of the record Of
the Congress just closed. The general sug
gestion is that the situation with reference
to the questions which were paramount in
the presidential campaign last fall was not
materially changed by anything that hap
pened at the Capitol during the winter. It
was demonstrated during the session Of
Congress that the opposition party was not
effectively organized, and that it is not in
shape to resist the administration. The
summing up of all the talk and contention
was expressed in further grant Of power
to the President to continue his policy, with
somewhat greater assurance of support
than could be had before and the opposi-
tion such as 1t Is. finds its only hope in the
possibility that the executive will find the
task undertaken too difficult to be carried
to successful issue.
The opinion is expressed by republicans
and by democrats that the developments
OF the nine months between the Fifty sixth
and the Fifty seventh Congresses will de-
termine much for the political future Of
the country. The President Is placed in
position to carry out his policy without
the possibility Of interference, unless the
decision Of the Supreme Court with refer
ence to the status Of our new possessions
should be such as to lead to a change Of
policy, and If the result Of the Presi-
dents exercising the wide discretion left
with him Is reasonably satisfactory 1t is
believed that the opposition will not show
greater strength during the next session
Of Congress than 1t did in the session re-
Gently ended. 1t is felt that the RESPONSE
bility has been placed upon the President
to shape the prospects Of his party in the
next congressional election If good re-
suits follow the Presidents course during
the vacation Of Congress the leaders Of the
opposition will have but little confidence Of
being able to SO shape the course of things
in Congress during the session preceding
the congressional election as to win the
House at that election.
Looking far ahead from today the demo-
Gratis do not see prospect of success for
their party except under the presumption
that the Cuban question, the Philippine
question or the Chinese question shall pre-
sent during the next few months such diff
culties as to bring disaster upon the ad-
ministration. They find nothing in the
record of the Congress just ended upon
which to base hope Of future democratic
triumph. unless it Is found in their acoui-
escence in action which gives the Presi-
dent free hand and places responsibility
upon him. If the policy Of the administra-
ton is conspicuously successful 1t is believ-
ed that the opposition will be so disorgan-
lied that 1t cannot be got together In shape
for fight in the next congressional cleo
ton. What may happen after that Is too
far of for them even to speculate upon

NEW YORK. March 12-The trading in
today's stock market reflected no new fea-
lures of consequence. There were no indi-
cations Of weakness at any point. but the
general list had an appearance of dullness.
which was not wholly justified by the to-
tai sales. few shares were advanced
under buying by cliQues and the usual
rumors of changes in control were nu-
merous.
Earnings keep up. and the fears of an un-
comfortable money market are decreasing
The liquidation by certain large interests
has failed to discourage investors, and
stocks are held with a tenacity quite new
In Wall street records. The reduction In
the floating supply OF stock and the oonfi-
dence of the larger interests are powerful
factors working against the ordinary evils
Of short selling. The market haIts fre-
quently. pending the profit taking on line
OF speculative holdings. but there has as
yet been no pronounced inclination to turn
back Deals and combinations are daily
denied. but securities concerned advance in
spite OF such denials.
The market today was conspicuous again
Tor the buying Of shares which until re-
Gently figured so little in the daily opera
II not unknown properties St Louis and
san francisco. for example, came into
some prominence about the first week In
february under rumors that the control
was In demand Since that date Il has ad-
ranced about IL per cent, reaching a new
high level today.
Toledo, St. Louis and Western was an
other feature of the day. adding several
points TO an advance begun several weeks
ago. The bonds of the latter road have
been bought In round amounts at steadily
advancing prices for several days, and a
considerable inside demand is reported.

The Granger shares were in excellent de-
mand at times and responded easily TO the
inquiry, considerable proportio ion of which

vania passed without opposition the resolu-
ton Increasing its capitalization to $780,
Vo,ooo. There had been some friction as
to the manner of this Increase but at to-
days meeting the proceedings were entire
ly harmonious.
The question as to the employment of the
new funds is now one of the Interesting
discussions Of the street. Erie was wen
bought, but was not active, the second pre-
1erred being the most responsive to what
demand did appear
The market as a whole suggests o. walt
ing for some big development. An of the
so-called shrewd operators are looking to
Mr.. Gould and his southwestern pronertfes
for such action.
