| New York, March 13.-The early Lon
! don advices did not offer much en-
couragement either for their regular
home securities nor for Americans
| Mooted issuance of another large
amount of consols was a barrier rather
to good sentiment there. Here we again
opened firm with the general trend Of
trading running in specialties and with
rather increased commission business
in the low priced securities OF the lat
ter the southwestern group were the
greater in demand showing large adj
vances and considerable strength. The
fractions also were firm while the high
Ell priced railways and the coalers were
neglected, the latter owing probably to
developments at to-days meeting in
Hazleton. All indications point to an
amicable adjustment to what troubles
may exist and the coal stocks should on
meret benefit thereby. Money remains
comparatively easy, although the banks
are aagn losers to the treasury. Coal

during the same period. Every one of
| the five states of Central America has
suffered from revolutionary movements
and violent changes of government, and
at times they have engaged in war with
each other. Columbia has had repeat
| ed violent changes of government, and
| is even now undergoing the ravages of
Revolutionary movements. Ecuador
has been the scene of many revolutions,
and the displacement of one president
by another through armed force. Peru
has suffered gy foreign war. whereby
the most valuable Of its territory was
torn away, and one revolution has fol-
lowed another in quick succession, with
changes of rulers. Chill, once the most
conservative and prosperous Of the
South American countries has carried
on an expensive foreign war. has I'M
dergone bloody and exhaustive revo-
luton. and because of it's hostile atti-
tude to its neighbors, has been COM
PEELED to maintain large army and a
costly navy. Bolivia, shut out from the
sea by jealous neighbor has been in
frequent turmoil and political disorder.
The Argentine republic, though greatly
favored by nature and by progressive
rulers, has not been free from revolu-
tionary movements, and has undergone
serious financial disaster, which has
greatly paralgzed its industries, Bra
zil, by conspiracy in the army, eX-
PEELED the emperor and established a re-
public; but that did not bring it peace,
for the new government has had to con-
taOH wi at tpF of
luton. The history of Venezuela in the
last twenty-five years has been one of
repeated revolutions and changes of
government
From this hasty sketch of the other
nations of the American hemisphere to
the south, in contrast with Mexico, the
brilliancy and the heneficence of the
administration of President Diaz are
made apparent. In his inaugural adj
dress to congress last month, on being
again installed as president, he referred
to the achievements Of Mexico in the
last twenty-five years, and modestly
said that in it there We're no brilliant
deeds to chronicle. From that notable
address make this extract: IF 1t
were true that a peaceful and laborious
pGUpiC HAVE 1O HlSlUIy, Lie dulIllIllS-
tration period I am about to review
would almost be devoid of history.
But, on the contrary, those nations
that deserve to be called happy in the
only Ineligible sense of the word, far |
from being without history, have a
very glorious and interesting one, if, |
besides being peaceful and laborious, |
hey are also progressive. That histo-
" is the history of their progress, their |
their growing prosperi-
", of the improvements Of every kind
which they have introduced-a history
which, in this modern age and the pres

is interesting as that of their past, and

days operations footed up quite an i'm
portant aggregate and the general ap-
pearance of the market, notwithstand-
ing it's peculiar features and the diff
Guilty of analysing it, was one of ac-
| tivity and strength. There was a ten
dency to yield the highest prices as in
terest was shifted to new points, Ex-
tensive realizing was going on in the
general list under cover of the strength
in spots and in the last hour an active
selling movement to take profits caused
a general reaction reaching point or
more In some Of the active stocks. The
closing itself was rather easy and much
below the best all around. Among the

were without any explanation and 9th

which no official sanction could be had.
The movement in the Southwestern
group was the most consistent Of the
day and was based on the evidence of
substantial prosperity among the rail-
roads in that region and the general
belief that plans for extensive CONSOLE
dation are working out. The money
market continued unruffled, in spite Of
the absorption by the sub-treasury thus
far this week Of $2,1670O0 and the
knowledge that s2o,0ooooo must be pro-
vided for the disbursement Of the Stan, |
dard Oil dividend on Friday. There |
was no evidence of calling OF loans to-
day and the stock market was undis-
turbed by any uneasiness over money.

A Great Increase Expected When
Fighting is Ended.

Although the war drags its slow length
along" says Consul General Stowe at Cape
Town. in report received at the State De-
partment. business has been fairly good in
the British colonies and the imports from
the United States have not fallen off in
value"
The products that serve to equip large
armies and to feed a non-working popula-
ton. says Mr.. Stowe. have swelled the vol
Ume Of our exports to South Africa, and
fiscal year will show a decided increase in
our trade during the preceding one.
The consul general predicts that a de-
Cided boom in all lines of trade will begin
as soon as the fighting actually ends. and
the losses from the war which, he says,
cover almost everything that enters into
life. will afford a splendid field for the ex-
porteTs Of the world. He notes that some
steps are being taken in the United States
toward the adoption of through rates to
South Africa and urges that no opportunity
b. lost to foster the trade between the two
countries
Mr.. Stowe reports that the customs union
which has existed between the British colo
MES. the Orange Free State and Rhodesia
has been broken. The administration of
RhOdesia has announced that the agree
ment with Cape Colony in regard to the
collection of customs duties on imports
goods is terminated. and the duty on goods
imported through the British colonies
which mas heretofore been collected at the
sea ports, will now be collected at Rholesia
The consul general states that an aver
age of ten cases of plague a day appeared

son. and fears that the present rainy sea-
son will Increase the number of cases The

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General and Personal News Gathered
in the West End.

In the West End.
Patrick ORafferty, who works at the gas
house, and resides at 261S I street. fell
from the steps Of the bridge crossing the
canal at Potomac street about $50 yester-
day morning sustaining painful injuries
about the head and face. He was removed
to the Georgetown University Hospital,
where his wounds were dressed.
Samuel NJ Frazier. a merchant of Ana
costa, was out with his family in Rock
Creek Park yesterday, and to carry away
some Of the pretty wild flowers tore off
branches from laurel bushes. Owing to the
depredations In the park committed this
season and stringent orders being issued
Policemen Blake and Maher, who came up,
requested the merchant to appear in Police
Court this morning and answer to a charge
Of trespass. While S. is the minimum
fine, the court permitted the defendant to
leave after paying s.
Some excitement was occasioned last
avenue, by heavy explosion, which reused
the entire neighborhood. Within half
minute four policemen were on the block
between 31st and 32d streets, looking for
the cause, but were unable to locate it. 1t
was thought that some joker had placed
railroad torpedo on the car tracks, and
that car had passed over it. Another
suggestion was that the explosion might
have been caused by a small bomb, thrown
by some one on the car. though no frag-
gunpowder could be plainly detected.
Miss Annie Schneider, the young lady
who was so seriously injured last week on
the chute at River View and who is at
Providence Hospital. is reported to be i'm
proving considerably. Her recovery is now
expected. but owing to the nature Of the
injury an operation will be necessary, it is
said, to afford permanent relief.

Major Sylvester's Recommendations
in Number of Cases.

Major Sylvester's Recommendations
in Number of Cases.
Major Richard Sylvester. the superinten-
dent OF police, has forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners the trial papers in the
cases of a number Of officers under various
charges. In the case Of H. c. O'Brien, spe-
cial railroad crossing officer. charged with
conduct unbecoming an officer, the finding
of the trial board was not guilty. In ap-
proving this, Major Sylvester says:
THE officer should be warned against in
dulging in unnecessary argument or con-
versation with persons regarding a case
pending in court, whereby he is apt to
make trouble for the department and him
self. l have time and again informed men,
bers Of the force that it is bad policy to
argue matters which belong entirely to the
court
In the cases Of Privates H. W. Robey
and Sylvester Murphy, reported by w. w.
Jordan, acting lieutenant Inspector, for
being in company off their beats and turn
Ing in from patrol box off their BEATS
Major Sylvester recommends that each for
felt five days Of the leave of absence to
which they would otherwise be entitled.
: In the case of Private Alex. Mckee
charged with talking to citizen in front
Of fruit stand for twenty minutes and
found guilty by the trial board, it is recon-
mended that fine of $40 be imposed.
Major Sylvester has recommended that
Frank Young and Thomas Foster be APP
pointed additional privates of the police
force for duty at Eureka Park, Hillsdae.

AS A BUSINESS STREET.
Petition by Citizens Respecting a
Public ThOrOughfare.

Samuel w. Guardian and others have
submitted to the District Commissioners a
petition that H street northwest between
18th and 18th streets be declared for build
ing purposes a business street, to be so
classed with other business streets and
avenues pursuant to the regulations gov
erning the erection Of buildings in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
OF the nearly 1850 feet Of ground fronting
this space on either side. it is stated, fully
1000 feet are represented by the petition;
the owners of the remaining fifty feet are
distant from the city and not accessible
The agents Of these distant owners have,
however, expressed their cordial concur
renee. and pending explicit instructions
their signatures have not been asked. No
objection on the part of any interest has
been heard.
Mr.. Curriden states that he has clients
who plan to construct a modern apartment
house on the square mentioned and that
unless the street is declared a business
thoroughfare, the structure cannot rise
above a height Of ninety feet-a height
which would not make the investment prof
table.
