VERY URGENT DEMAND
RUNS UP THE PRICE.
The Stock Market Yesterday Was Large
" a Matter Of Money Supplies and
the Call Rate Ran Away Up.

New York December 80.-Today's stock
market was largely matter OF money
supplies. The symptoms were lndubitable
that these were scarce, the call loan rate
running up at one time to IL per cent The
general rate for renewals was 10 per cent.
There were Il number OF other depressing
factors which reinforced this motive for
selling stocks and the consequence was a
general declining tendency OF prices dur
ing the morning. Later In the day the
money rate became easier and under Of
ferings by bankers, among whom ]. Pier.
pont Morgan & Co. were conspicuous, a
very urgent demand developed for Reading
which caused an advance OF points In
that stock TO new high record price at
each step OF the advance. The dimensions
of the trading In the stock were such as
10 show that only the largest financial In
terests could conduct It. The individual
blocks taken run all the way from 1000 to
5000 shares The general market steadied
under the influence of this movement but
was singularly unresponsive even In those
stocks most nearly allied in interest to
Reading, with the exception OF New Jersey
Central, which made an advance Of SIS on
light transactions. When Reading yielded
10 realizing. the general market which had
been held only steady gave way again sud
denly and dropped TO the lowest, the In
dustrlals and Pacihcs leading The closing
was active and easy. Many rumors crcu.
lated TO account for the strength of Read
Ing. II was said that a stock readJust-
ment was at hand. Another report was
that Pennsylvania was buying for control.
The failure OF confirmation Of rumors
caused a suspicion among professional trad.
ers that the powerful demonstration in
the stock was designed for sentimental eff
feet on the general market to help support
prices In accordance with the efforts sup
posed to be making to that end by great
banking interests. The urgent demand for
money disappointed expectations aroused
by the unex pected increase shown In bank

NEWS In GENERAL
ECUADOR HAS INTERVIEWED.
Joins Forces With Rebeilious Elem en-

Joins Forces With Rebellious Elemen
On the Isthmus.
Washington, Sept. Ga cablegram
has been received from an authorize
tive source in Cali, Colombia, near the
Ecuadorean border, stating that Ecua-
dor has intervened as against Col
ombia with an army well equipped
and with vessels of war. Under these
circumstances, the cablegram states
1T will be necessary to meet the move
of Ecuador by having Colombian war
vessels in Pacific waters near the Col
ombia-Ecuador frontier.
The information in the cablegram
is considered clear evidence of Ecua-
doris intention to join forces with the
rebellious element on the isthmus of
Panama. Until now Ecuador has
maintained strict neutrality, but the
eablegram received today indicates
that the first overt move against Col
ombia has been made.
Considerable surprise is expressed
at the news of the intention of Ecua-
dor to invade Colomia, as disclosed by
a dispatch received from Cali, which
is the mot important of the cities of
the department Cauca bordering on
ident of the latter country, who has
iusSS assumed office, heretofore has
given evidence VI ,ms -,,..""atioh to Oh
serve strict neutralitu Je,ween Col
ombia and Vc1.lezuela in their pending
aifhceuities. The impression prevails
that the invading force is under the
direction of the intervening party in
Ecuador which probably has force
of men near the border line and is
taking an early opportunity to act
before the new president can stay it.
The real objective point is believed to
be Panama, where the invaders may
assist the Colombian revolutionists
and those who may be brought from
Nicaragua. Reliance is placed, how
ever, by the Colombian officials en- the
presence of united States men of war
at Panama to prevent any attack on
the place. The battleship Iowa is ex-
| pected at Panama in day or two,
and with the Ranger now there will
be able to land considerable fore !,
of marines should this be necessary
| to prevent attack.

ANOTHER STATE TICKEI NAMED.
Iowa Socialist Party Puts Candidates In
the Field,


Des Moines, Sept 6.-The socialist
party of Iowa met in state convention
at Trades Assembly hall yesterday
and nominated the following ticket:
For governor, James Baxter, Monroe
county; for lieutenant governor, w.
| A. Jacobs, Scott county; supreme
county; railroad commissioner, A. c.
Middlebrook, Lyons county; superin-
tendent public instruction, +. L. Stew
ems, Des Moines county. The follow
ing platform was adopted: The So
| cialistic party of Iowa, in convention
| assembled, hereby ratifies and en-
dorses the action of the convention of
the united socialistic party held at
Indianapolis July 30. In accordance
with the provisions thereof we de-
clare our allegiance to the principles
of international socialism. We be-
lieve socialism to be a scientific solu-
ton of the labor problem and that it
will provide an ethical construction of
society whereby equality and exist
ing justice will be meted out to every
individual. We declare our unalter-
able opposition to the competition
for bread and to the capltalistic con-
troll Of the means of production and
distribution, and to secure a system
whereby want, misery and poverty
, shall be forever eliminated we pledge
ourselves to the final and complete
overthrow of all competitive and cap
italistic systems and the substitution
thereof Of a cooperative common,
| wealth and collective ownership of all
means Ct production and distri h.. .,ion.
This Is our construction of socialism.
| Anything more is unnecessary; any
thing less would fail of the accom-
| plishment of our purpose. Our move
ment is revolutionary only in prin-
| ciples and ethics. Our methods are
peaceful and our appeal is to the rea-
son and conscience. We recommend
to the voters of Iowa the study of our
national platform as a plain state
ment of the general and specific de-
mands of our party.

M'KINLEYS AT BUFFALO
Immense Crowd Directs President at
American Exposition.

Buffalo, Sept. 6.-President's day at
the Pan-American exposition dawned
bright and clear, with the temper
allure sufficiently low to make the
day all that could be desired.
At the entrance to the exposition
grounds the president was met by
detachments of the United States
marines and the sea coast artillery
and the Sixty-fifth and Seventy
fourth n. q. S. n. Y. regiments. A
presidents salute of twenty-one
guns was fired. The president was
at once escorted to the stand erected
in the Esplanade, where probably
the greatest crowd ever assembled
there greeted him with ringing
cheers. The vast assemblage over
flowed to the Court of Fountains. In
the stand on each side of the presi-
dent were seated many distinguish
ed men and women, among them rep
resentatives of most of the South
American republics.
President McKinley's speech was
frequently interrupted with applause,
his words referring to the estab-
lishment of reciprocal treaties with
other countries, the necessity of the
anlys-iiccSS::, r,cr,s k..,iuIng an 18TH
fsnsi;an canal. and Pacific cable, and
his reference to the work of Blaine
in developing the Pan-American idea
bringing forth especially enthusiastic
cheers. Upon the conclusion of his
address large number of people
broke through the line around the
stand and the president held an inn
promptu reception for fifteen min
utes, shaking hands with thousands.
The carriages were then brought to
the steps of the stand and the presi-
dent, accompanied by the diplomatic
corps and specially invited guests,
was taken to the Stadium. When
the president arrived there at 11:45
the structure was crowded to the
last inch of standing room. The
troops stood at attention while the
president, accompanied by Colonel
Cnapin and the officers in command.
reviewed them. Cheer after cheer
from the vast assemblage greeted
the chief executive as he walked
from one end of the tribune to the
other and back to the reviewing
stand.
The troops then marched past the
stand, and performed intricate man.
euvers for fifteen minutes.

Decided In Favor of Settlers.

Dubuque, Sept. S.-Judge Shiras, OF
the Federal court, handed down a
decision in the Noble land case which
involves many others in O'Brien,
Lyon and other counties. The case
decided was that of Manly and Tow.
The court holds that the actual set
tiers on these lands have preferences
over those persons who purchased
them from the Sioux City e. st. Paul
Railway company, because of failure
of said company to carry out its
agreement. The defeated party will
take the case up to the court of APP
peals in the Eighth district, which
will be held in st. Louis, and from
that court the case will then go on
to the United States Supreme court.
1t may take year or two to get a
final decision.

in order to trace the course of the
bullet Inc bullets openipp in the
front wall of the stomach was small

ures. after which a search was made
