Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 3e-Captain
James Mcqueen Forsyth. U. 8. NJ. who
had charge of the naval station at
Key West during the Spanish.Ameri.
can war, spent yesterday In Kansas
City. on his way from San Francisco
d his home at Philadelphia. Captain
Dorsyth was formerly In command Of
the battleship Indiana, and has been
associated with both Admirals Schley
and Sampson at different times in his
career. Speaking Of the famous con.
trovsrsy. he said:
"While We have been instructed BY
the navy department not to discuss
the merits Of the case. every one
knows that the navy department looks
upon the controversy ~ an unfortu.
nate affair. We believe there was
plenty Of glory for all concerned The
fact that a junior man was placed In
command above his seniors is respon.
sible ior the whole business. Samp.
son was captain apd the seventeenth
ranking officer of the navy. No one
ever thought OF him as the successor
Of Admiral Sicard. and / don't believe
he ever thought of It himself. but he
was familiar to the people OF Wash.
ington. and they decided to place him
In command. or course. the officers
who outranked him did mt iiko ~ II
is not to be expected that they would.
but Washington said Sampson. and
that settled the matter. Schley was
among the officers outranking Samp.
son. and he was thrown directly under
the juniors command. He naturally
felt the promotion more than any Of
the Others"

STOCK MARKET
 BADLY CONFUSED Erratic Movement of St, Paul Kept Traders Stirring GREAT VOLUME OF BUSINESS A Noticeable Feature of the Day Was That the Heavy Trading Came on
 the Advance Instead of
 the Decline.
VOLUME OF BUSINESS

New York, January 2S.-The huge propor- ton of the dealings in St. Paul made it the dominant factor in todays market. Its influence was marked on nearly every stock affected with it and the general list showed a dragging tendency both on the upward and downward course The violent and cratic movements in St. Paul kept the market confused and unsettled for the greater part of the day. There were con- siderable gains established during the early dealings and later in the day prices fell considerably below Saturdays level, but the net changes are for the most part small and some gains are mixed with the prepon- derant losses.
 St Paul was at one time nearly three points above Saturday and at another time over two points below and closed the day with a net loss of IA on sales of 252,0O0 shares. The intermediate movements were excessively cratic and feverish.
 A very noticeable feature of the trading in the stocks was the much heavier volume of transactions on the advance than on the decline Very heavy offerings had to be taken, in fact, before the advance was in- augurated, the price running off a point from the opening under the crushing weight
 
 ing taken at each stage of the advance When the price had touched 1888, the buy ing demand revived an abrupt check, and was not at any time afterward equal to that of the first hour although there were considerable reYiyals of demand from time to time. On the downward grade of 15S3s 10 152 the offerings did not appear to be over whelming in volume, but there was not sufficient demand to absorb them. The tipsters this morning put out statements In detail of completed plan for the trans fer of St. Paul stock in exchange for bonds Of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cffic It was further announced that the plan would be officially published today.
 London was a small seller on balance through the usual channels, but the further advance in sterling exchange made it ev- ident that the homeward movement of se- curities continued very heavy. The atmos- phere of the London stock market was re- ported to be serene and recent apprehen- sions regarding this weeks mining settle ment seemed to be allayed.
 Business in railroad bonds continues large and prices advanced in the early dealings, but yielded in sympathy with stocks. To- tai sales, par value, s3,S76,000.

New York January 2S.-London stocks to- day were strong and active, due to heavy New York buying. The opening here was active and values advanced rapidly until the noon hour when there was a lot of liquidation started and values eased off quite sharply. American Steel Wire, after selling at 421b sold off to 3Ssi but rallied to fl on the close. There was a dividend meeting of the directors today, but nothing has as yet been given out to the public. St. Paul rallied to 15Sh, eased off to 1924, but gained a part of the loss before the close. Sugar was dull and one per cent lower on the close. Louisville and Nashville, Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and Northern Pacific were also lower, while the market closed off easy. We believe American Steel Wire a good pur- chase on all breaks.

Financial

New York, January 2S.-Commercial-Ad- vertisers London financial cablegram
 The stock here was narrow but firm to- day. American shares were fairly active un- til about o'clock when, on early orders from New York there was a sharp rally. This was particularly true of Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul issues, and Louisville and Nashville. After that rally the Amer ican department weakened and closing heavy broke sharply in the street. The Stock Exchange will be closed on Satur- day for the funeral of the Queen. The bank is expected to remain shut by order of council, and the rest of the city will prob- ably follow suit.
 Money rates were stiffer and the market finally was borrowing from the bank at 51h per cent for four-day bills.

the day. Our market gave but small re- sponse to the artificial situation in New York; as it would be impossible in the presence of our large stocks of cotton to lift the value of contracts at most but a few points above parity with actual cotton. The extreme advance was but 12 points on March contracts, the active speculative month. Manipulation in the New York market we do not think, will be calculated to encourage business there, and we look upon this as a rather weak feature for the remaining months of this season.
 Port receipts continue rather liberal, 6l,- 9S1 so far this week vs. AS SIP last week and GA 1O6 corresponding days year before. Spots with moderate sales steady, with un- changed quotations
 Until some new feature is presented, the market looks like one of moderate fluctua- tions.
