New york Stock Gossip.
Reported by H. HoIbert & Son: This
has been a stormy and dullda here with
a weaker market at the opening, but with
a recovery in prices as we write. There
has been no feature, however, of impor-
lance with the exception 2of the publica-
ton of an abstract of thefpresident7s mes
sage. So far as we have been able to
study it the suggestions are on normal
lines, and even if they advance somewhat
beyond these, they are mot -incendiary nor
calculated to excite dfStrHst or promote
disturbance Viewed therefore as a
satisfactory, and. if We can use the ex-
preston, reassuring. So much alarm has
been felt regarding its tenor that We are
hopeful in the feeling tnat. now that it
is out and done we will have recovery
in prices where the influence has hereto
fore been unfavorable.

SOLDIERS SENTENCED.
War Department Getting Facts About
 Persons Charged With Crime.

Washington, August 24-The war de- pertinent has received number of or ders from the Philippines containing facts of the trial of the different persons charged with various crimes, from mur- der to aidin gand abetting the enemy of the United States. The most important is the trial of Erik Hael Terman, a Bel gian, who was charged with relieving the enemy with money in violation of the laws of war"
 Hael Herman also was charged with furnishing the enemy with provisions and harboring the enemy and generally violating the laws of war He was found guilty on nearly every charge and was sentenced to death. The case was re- viewed by General Macarthur, who says that 'the sentence is wholly warranted by the evidence. but the rapidly passing away of the condition of war moves the department commander to recommend that the sentence be commuted by fixing the sentence to Imprisonment for fifteen years.
 Private John English. Company H. Fortieth Volunteer Infantry, was con- victed in Mindanao of desertion and found guilty and sentenced to death. General Koobe in reviewing this case says the courtmartial tried four other cases, two of them involving death sen tences. and he severely criticises the method of charging gross carelessnesS and neglect of duty. Under the circum- stances he is unwilling to inflict the 3 death penalty and commutes the sentence to twelve years imprisonment.

And the most cordial salute that greeted the old champion came from the steam yacht Erin, having on board Sir Thomas Lipton, who had himself been beaten three times by the same boat. There was no second for the Constitution had quit.
 After sailing once around the triangular course of the Seawanhka Club with the Columbia 47 seconds a winner, having gained on every leg, both boats ran into a terrific rain squall. They grooped about for some time in the dark and shift ing breezes, hardly able to see two lengths ahead. At last the weather clear ed Q bit. The Columbia picked up the mark, which was the first of the second round and stood for 1t. The Constitution had already withdrawn. Having sent down her big topsail she was headed for Oyster Bay. The Columbia kept on, finished the race and takes the cup.
 Today's race marks the finish of the preliminary or tuning up series between the Columbia and Constitution. They now come to the trial races off Newport, under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club. The boat winning two out of three of these races, provided there has been fair test of speed in average cup con- ditions. will undoubtedly be selected by the America's cup committee to sail in the international races against Shamrock IT

 My Dear MT. Mayor--I thank you heart earnestly hope that I shall be able to stop at Birmingham, but it Is not possible for me to promise definitely now.

My time on the trip will be very limited indeed. Sincerely yours, THEODORB ROOSEVELT.

STRUGGLED PIG TAILS
 ACROSS THE BORDER
United States immigration Inspectors Are Arrested in Arizona.
 Wholesale Fraud.

Washington, August M.-Probably the most important arrests ever made in con- nection with the smuggling of Chinese across the Mexican border into the Uni ted States were made yesterday in Ari- zona. William Hoey, collector of customs at Nogales; B. F. Jossey, an immigrant inspector; Frank How, a chinaman, liv- ing in Nogales, and another Chinaman living at Clifton, across the border from Nogales, were taken into custody by special agents of the treasury and secret service operatives.
 There are more arrests expected in a day or two.
 A secret service operative was sent to Nagales to get evidence against the per sons under suspicion.
 Several Chinamen were furnished with money and sent on to buy their way through the official cordor.
 This was accomplished without difficult ty, the price demanded being from $50 to $200 The secret service men also arrang- ed with one or two employees whose hon. esty had been tested to go into the col lectors office at a certain time and de- mand share of the money received from Chinamen and to be admitted into the the combination, so that they might get their share of the proceeds of future dealings.
 This was reluctantly agreed to and con. siderable sums of money were handed over In the presence and full hearing of a secret service man who had previously secreted himself in nearby office closet. The officials soon found that Chinamer who presented certificate marked with the letter A were allowed to proceed without question, while those having cer- tificates that did not bear the letter "A'' were turned back without ceremony.
