Stocks Were Irregular and Move
ments in Them Erratio.
BIG BULGE In AfCHIS0N
Considerable Realizing in Several
Other Shares.
GENERAL. MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May THE opening of to-
days stock market reflected considerable
irregularty I'm the recently active shares.
and for time profit-taking overshadowed
all new business. London opened at de-
clines and rallied about to parity. but con-
trfbuted little to the local trading.
Atchison issues became feature early in
the day under a big volume of business,
and later made sensational advance of 10
per cent to S1lz. At the top prices realiz-
ing sales became conspicuous. and a de-
cline of over per cent followed An out
standing short interest was forced to cover
on the advance. the London market in par
tcular being on the short side of these
shares- AT the decline from the top the
buying was called good, and the price was
given good support.
The buying today taken in connect oD
with the splendid support given the stock
yesterday in the face of the dividend dis
appointment, indicates something more
than the usual speculative movement
PENNSYLVANIA figured in the rumors urged
in explaining the advance, and there may
be an important deal in which these two
properties will figure. Whatever the mo-
tive the buying party is in undisputed con-
troll of the situation. If higher prices are
desirable, there would seem to be little
hlndrance at any point
Union Pacific added slightly to it's pre-
Elous nigh record, but there was nothing
definite added to previous rumors as to the
motive of the buying. The street is in
cilned to the belief that the contest for
control is approaching the stage at which
one party Will soon be conceded the adyan-
taSe. After this condition is reached the
STOCK should react from record prices
Baltimore and Ohio issues were active
tne common shares attracting a mixed de-
mand from the room.
The southwestern issues showed a TEND
eicy toward realizing and all lost few
fractions IN consequence. There was no ef-
Tort TO prevent the decline, and the main
movement in these shares should not suffer
from this treatment.
ne new steel stocks We're reactionary
Within narrow limits and were traded in
very Hberally, as heretofore. The indus
trial list as whole was heavy and ack-
ing in new business.
The Traction stocks were neglected and
SOLD down some in consequence the DELAY
IN starting, the much talked-of advance
having tired out many speculative ac-
counts
The money market was firm throughout
the day, per cent rate being esta bIisbed
before noon. Later some liberal sums
were sent in al lower rate and the mar.
ket was not Influenced especially by the
higher rate. The great shifting of interest
from one property to another and the taxi
ing our or the market of large blocks of
stocks is a peculiar feature of the present
market. The novel features have totally
destroyed the value of the old-time the.
cries and beyond the certainty of a sharp
reaction later on there is little that IS
definite in the predictions now so freely
made in all quarters.

THE STREET EXTENSIONS
ETEREST OF CITIZENS IN THE
COURTS DECISION.
Alleged IneQuities Imposed by the
Enforcement Of the Law
Some Suggestions.

Naturally the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the street
extension cases IS of great interest, espe-
cfally to property holders and to all others
who have to do with the management OF
the property. although. of course, not TO
the same extent
The purport of this utterance of the final
legal tribunal here as well as elsewhere.
which upholds the nstitutionality Of the
street extension act and maintains the
right of Congress to take private property
In the District for streets without the con-
sent Of owners, and also to assess upon the
same owners benefits which a jury may de-
eide exists, is looked upon as resulting in
injustice in several cases.
An illustration of the latter is pointed ont
by Mr.. W. Riley Decide. one of the owners
or what is known as the Kali tract. In
TINS instance the land needed for the eN-
tension through this property of s street.
I'D and Decatur streets. amounting to a
total of 1875 square feet was donated to
the public
When the act authorizing the extension
of these streets was before the House COM
mittee the suggestion was made by Mr..
Decide that a clause be inserted exempting
the owners of the Kul tract, in view OF
their having given the land for the streets,
from being assessed for benefits to the
property due to the opening of these streets.
Members of the committee however, were
of the opinion that such an assessment
would hardly be made in the case of own
ers who so literally donated their land.
The proposed additional clause was in
consequence not inserted in the bill and
when the jury came to consider the case,
acting in compliance with the law. they
assessed benefits alike on those property
owners who gave their land and those who
received compensation for their land
The inequity of this proceeding was rec
ogntzed by the Court of Appeals, but now
that the law has been sustained this
Is pointed to as one of the ha' ships which
the enforcement of the law will impose.
Profiting from this experience, those in
terested in property along the 10th street
extension had the bill so drawn as to
exempt the donors of land from such an
assessment. In the other cases the land
needed was secured by condemnation and
the owners compensated. so that similar
hardship was not imposed on the owners
of property along any other streets of hay
ing their generosity in giving the land Ie-
warded by being taxed for the benefits.
In addition to this feature of the case
aS affecting the owners of the Kali tract.
it was found upon laying out the streets
under the provision of this act that there
was a shortage of nearly two acres from
the amount at which it was carried on
the tax books for many years.
The purchase was made on this basis,
and the loss fell on the purchasers thus
increasing the value of the donation of
land to the public.

Increased Transportation Facilities
Renders Them InnecesSary.

Upon the recommendation of the chief of
ordnance. and under the authority con-
ferred by section 1866 Revised Statutes
the following named arsenals are ordered
abolished and their abandonment will be
effected at the earliest date practicable:
kennebeC arsenal. Augusta. Me; Fort
Monroe arsenal. Fort Monroe. Va; Allie
gheny arsenal, Pittsburg. Pa: indianapolis
arsenal. Indianapolis. Ind. Columbia ar
senal, Columbia. Tenn.
The Secretary Of War directs that the
public property at the arsenals named be
disposed Of by the several staff depart
rnents concerned without unnecessary de-
lay. The commissioned officers and enlist
ed men now serving at these arsenals will
be assigned to duty elsewhere 1t is stated
at the War Department that with the In
creased transportation facilities in the
country many arsenas are not needed 1t
Is found more economical and adyanta geous
to have the arms. ammunition and ord
nance stores at central points. where they
are available as IL at many different
arsenals. Many other arsenals have been
similarly abandoned since the necessity for
them ceased

WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM.
Report of Test Made to Determine It's
AdeUUacy.

Adequacy.
W. A. Mcfarland. superintendent of the
water department.. has made report to
the Engineer Commissioner of a test made
between and 4 am. April IL to deter
mine the adequacy Of the water supply
system for fire protection in the vicinity Of
18th and F streets northwest. For the pur-
pose of the test fifteen water plugs in the
city. ranging i'll distance from 400 to 600
feet from the corner of 18th and f streets,
were used.
a pressure gauge having been placed on
one OF the hose connections of each of the
Plugs, the main valves all fully
opened and full 212-inch streams allowed to
flow simultaneously. Pressures were then
taken to determine approximately the
amount of water flowing. The mean
probable actual discharge in gallons per
minute was 3SI, the total from the fifteen
plugs being $500. With ten pounds in
creased pressure the mean discharge was
$40 gallons, the total 1888. The suction
from the steamers pumps is expected to
exert the 10 pounds increased pressure. Mr..
Mcfarland says regarding the test:
AS the increased volume flowing would
decrease general pressures, these la st fig
llres are probably too large: the mean of
the two results would be about 525 gallons
per minute. or two ordinarily good fire
streams. The conclusion is therefore that
these fifteen plugs could simultaneously de-
liver about 5000, GALLONS per minute. or
thirty ordinary fire Streams The twenty
inch main which supplies this section is
partly closed at 18th and X streets north
west; in case Of a bad fire in the T.
fully opened, when better water pressures
would result"
Similar water pressure tests in other To-
callties are proposed. 81

ASKS FOR MORE TERRITORY.
The Application Made by Special
Policeman.

A. +. jana, additional private of police
in the first precinct, has applied TO th..
District Commissioners for a renewal Of
his commission as an additional private.
which expires May Z. He also Enclosed a
petition asking that his beat be extended
SO as to include + street TO nth north
west In his first Endorsement upon The
matter Major Sylvester said:
II do not understand why this officer
has not made his application TO the police
department rather than to the Commission
ers direct, and 1 would like to be informed
what reason there is if any why hts beat
should be extended. and if it would not be
an encroachment on the beat already COW
cred by Mr.. Thomas"
Lieutenant Amiss OF the first precinct
ported upon the papers through Inspector
Pearson. saying that he was informed by
jana that the persons signing the petition
for an extension OF his beat would en-
pioy no other Waterman. and that that was
his reason for asking an extension. The
lieutenant said 1t would be an encroach-
ment upon the territory supposed to be
covered by Thomas
Major Sylvester then recommended TO tina
Commissioners that Jama's authority he
renewed for duty on the beat including n
and G. and Sth ana 10th streets northwest,
but no further. saying:
For long time there has been a cnu-
f1ict between the men covering the confines
of this beat, and while Mr.. jana Is a
very good man, l cannot interfere with
the authority already issued by the COM
mssioners to Mr.. Thomas. who covers
section which Nh. jana proposes to in
trude upon"
Major Sylvester's recommendation has
been approved by Commissioner Ross, who
has supervision of the police department.

CANADA's UNKNOWN LAND.
One-Third of the Dominion is as Yet
lneXplOred.

The director Of the geological survey Of
Canada in his latest report makes the
amazing declaration that practically moth
ing is known OF one-third of the dominion
So states United States Consul Seyfert at
Stafford, in a report to the Department
of State. 1t is shown that more than a
million and a quarter square miles of Ca
madam territory are yet unexplored. This
includes the inhospitable deta ched arctic
portions but aside from these, fully 90, 900
square miles are for ali practical purpose
entirely unknown. The easterly area con-
tains the greatest extent Of unexplored
territory. 1t comprises almost the entire
interior of the Labrador peninsula in all
$50 900 square miles, or more than twice
the size of Great Britain and Ireland. The
indications are, says Consul Seyfert, that
during the next five years, at least 5000
miles OF new railroad will be completed
throughout the dominion, most of which
will run through the unexplored wilder
ness, as it is recognized that railroads are
primarily essential to the opening UP of
this vast territory. The mineral wealth
Of this region is said to be undoubtedly I'm
mense, and perhaps almost inexhaustible
while the dense forests of hardwood will,
when brought to the markets of the world,
become a source Of large profit.

TO BAR OUT TYPHUs FEVER.
Marine Hospital Service Precautions
the Mexican Border.

Extra precautions are being taken to
prevent the spread of typhus fever from
Mexico into this country, according to a
statement made today by Surgeon General
WyInan of the marine hospital service.
General Wyman said that kilograms had
been sent to the medical inspectors of his
department stationed at the three principal
crossings between Mexico and the United
States, namely, Ell Paso, Eagle Pass and
Laredo, Texas, calling special attention to
the presence of typhus in the City of Mex
leo The attention of the officials also was
called to the existing regulations with ref
erence to the Mexican frontier, which went
into effect Immediately after the announce
ment from epidemic diseases in Mexico
General Wyman stated that these officers
have been regularly inspecting every train
crossing the frontier They have conduct ed
very careful quarantine inspection, and
have been disinfecting a great deal of bag
gage. Some persons have been detained on
the frontier, but no case of infection has
been reported from this side OF the line
