THE ARSENAL.
Letter from Secretary Root in Regard
to Its Abandonment.
Final Disposition OF the Property is
Now Under Consideration
Mass Meeting Called.

Congressman L. P. Padgett Monday
received letter from Secretary of War
Root IN regard to the order issued re-
Gently by the War Department abandon
ing the United States Arsenal at this
place. a
The Secretary says in his letter that
the order abandoning the property for
use as an arsenal has already been issued
and gone into effect, aud that no .appro-
priation will be made for its further use
as such. The ultimate disposition of the
property, however, has not yet been de-
cided upon, and this matter is now
under the consideration of the Depart
ment.
From this, it is inferred that the fate
of the property for arsenal purposes is
sealed; but it is thought by some that
the Government will use it for other
purposes that may be of more benefit to
the city than as an arsenal. Certain it
is that the property will not be en-
tirely abandoned 10 the full sense of the
word.
Congressman Padgett has written to
the other members of Congress from Ten
nessee, asking them to write to Secre-
tary Root and ask that he hold the mat
ter of finally disposing of the property
in allegiance until his constituents can
be heard from.

1t was stated by a man close to the
successful interest in Northern Pa
cifc that the members of the syndi-
cate deprecated the course of the
third large interest in the stock in
taxing enormous profits from the
shorts, and that one of the motives
in seeking an agreement was to de-
feat the speculative pool.
At 11:4O the statement was made
that ]. p. Morgan & Co., and Kuhn,

force deliveries on Nortehrn Pacific

ment there came a rally in prices
throughout the general list, Atchison

WILD AND EXCIXTED.
Prices Changed as High as Fifty
Points at Time.

New York, May 10.-The trading in
Northern Pacific became so wild and
excited toward T. o'clock that prices
changed rapidly 25 and so points at a
time. A sale at $50 was recorded, and
almost Immediately another one came
out on the tape at 700. This was for
Fridays delivery, and not cash sale,
as some Of the earlier ones had been,
thereby indicating a belief on the
part of the purchaser that short com
mitments were so large that the stock
to come from Europe would afford
little or no relief. The great excite
ment in the stock and the frantic eff
forts to buy would seem to show that
the short sales were much larger
than We're supposed on Wednesday.
Meanwhile prices of various other
stocks were forced down from one to
three points and eventually the entire
market cIumbled away again. North
ern Pacific sold at 230 the regular
way, simultaneously with a purchase
at 300 for cash, and on next sales al
32O regular and 400 for cash. At II
o'clock the market was without def
mite tone, some stocks going up in
face of the extreme generalization
in others. At noon 500 was hid for

THE EXCHANGE, AND MANY
MEN ARE RUINED IN A
BRIEF SPACE OF TIME.

New York, May 10.-The contest for
the control of the Northern Pacific rail-
road caused panic in Wall street yes.
terday which bankrupted thousands
and sent values tumbling to almost ip-
credible depths. 1t was the widest
trading ever known on the Stock Ex-
change. The corner IN Northern Pacific
caused that stock to advance from S16O
to 200 share.
1t was announced last night that
Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co were in control, and
that shorts would be given chance to
settle at 200 or under. The banks of
New York city put out $16,000,000 in
loans in an attempt to stem the panic.

On It's First Readlng-Street Fair
Question Deferred Interesting Dis
cussions.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
met Monday night in adjourned session,

the matter of extending 8th street be
continued
Chairman Voss, of the Police Com
mittee, reported that all of the police
had gotten their new spring uniforms.
Under the report of the Light Com
mittee, the matter of putting in addi-
tional lights was brought up. The
capacity of the arc dynamo is 80 lights,
but it is already running 81 lights. The
management of the Light Company,
however, had said that they could
easily carry several other lights.
Chairman Cant, of the Charity Com
mittee, asked Tor an allowance of $50
Among the accounts allowed were
1886 for lime, and Sl44 for police uni
forms.

The new depot committee had no re-
port to make, and asked for further
time
The matter of collecting the sinking
fund was brought up, and Mr.. G.. T.
Hughes, who has this matter in charge,
made few explanatory remarks. He
said that he had been trying diligently
to collect the fund, but there were sew
eral debts that he had been unahIa To
cancel, and he desired some instruction
from the Board in regard to their col
lection. Among these debts were $500
in notes against the Columbia Water q
Light CO., and So, 800 in school bonds,
besides several other smaller debts The
matter of collecting these debts was re-
ferred to the finance committee, who
will act in conjunction with the sinking
fund commissioners.
A petition asking for an arc light at
the corner of South High and 14th
streets was received The matter of
placing light at the corner of South
and, upon motion, it was ordered that
these two lights be erected. Chairman

After noon there seemed to be more
steadiness to prices, and Southern Pc
cific rose to 3SR, Louisville to o. Man
haitian to LOG, United States Steel,
pfd., to so, and ST. Paul to 1853. Unit
ed States Steel common, after selling
at 46, dropped to 40. Burlington sold
at 179 for 2,0O0 shares. Then there
was rally in steel, pfd., up to IS. Tn
ion Pacific following to 90. Baltimore
& Ohio sold at SO; Missouri Pacific,
90; American Tobacco, 105, and Mis-
souri, Pacific al 95. Then came an Of
fetal announcement, over the tape,
oy Street & Norton, that they would
not demand delivery of 10000 shares
of Northern Pacific common to them.
This announcement was followed by
rally in Manhattan to los, Steel 10
4S, Burlington to 1872, Southern Ia
cihc to 43H, Atchison to SO, and Steel,
pfd., to 9S. At 1925 Northern Pacific,
common, sold at 700 for cash At this
time the market seemed to have a
better tone than at any period during
the day, and the price changes be-
tween sales were not so wide as they
had been during the wild hurries of
the earlier part of the session.
Even Standard Oil declined to $3.50
share, a drop of III points from
Wednesday nights close.
The feature of the situation was
the closing up for the day of a num-
ber of small brokerage concerns, not
because of financial embarrassment,
but because they deemed it unwise
to do any business at all in such d
market, with money commanding as
high as 60 per cent. bid.
At 1 o'clock the failures of w. H..

Lee, of e. Broadway, were announced
on the consolidated exchange.

at Williamsport Sunday. A big negro
meeting was in progress at that place,
and during the morning the officers re
ceiyed telephone message that whiskey
was flowing in unlimited quantities and
the crap shooters we're holding high car
nival. The officers set out forthwith to
break up the meeting, and, upon arriv
ing at the place, separated and advanced
in different directions. The scene that
met their eyes was about forty colored
sports lying beneath the trees on quilts
and blankets and rolling bones in great
glee. The negroes noticed the approach
of the officers, ano an "adiournment"
was taken Immediately and with little
formality, the negroes scattering to the
four winds. Ten of the sports we're cap
tured, however, and the names of a
number of others were secured.
