New York, April 2.-Liverpool disregard
ed the local strength of yesterday, and
to-day, governed by the movement, did
not sustain the advance of the morning.
Here the temper of the local trade is
shown in the strength of the market, and
in face of the heavy movement and the
trade bought freely at the opening, con-
tinuing to support prices at every OPP
portunity. 1t feels that the market is
entitled TO come closer to Liverpool and
that in the process of REIMBURSEMENT this
market being entitled to a reaction, will
be relatively strong. On this theory the
local short interest is being rapidly elm
mated at a time when the movement con-
tinues upon such a scale as to prevent
outside investment, as the danger of
scarcity is evidently passed, since each
week leads to an increasing visible sup

SENATOR DEPEw TELLS OF
FORMER ASSASSINATIONS

New YORK, Sept 7.-Senator c. NJ.
Depew, when seen at his summer home
at Peeksi4ill. n. z, expressed profound
regret because of the attempted assas-
sination of President Mckinley. He
said, among other things:
I distinctly recall the horrors con-
nected with Lincoln'S aSsassina ton.
This was the elimination of an idle
brain OF the passions of the civil war.
Garheld's assassination was the out
come of the same sort of mind of one
OF the fercest fractional fights in our
past history. The situation at the at
tempt on McKinley's life differs en-
tirelE from the Lincoln or Garfield as
sassinatiOn. Mckinley was the most
universally popular of all of our pres
idents."
Senator Depew then dwelt at length
upon the prosperity connected with
President McKiniey's administration,
his successful conduct of the Spanish
American war. and the beautiful do
mestic life of the president as reasons
why Mckinley had secured such a
stronghold on the hearts of the Amer
lean people.

fication of the news the lieutenant
governor made the following state
ment:

service more loneliness of disposition
