STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct 19.-There seemed to
be pause in the large operations in
Northern Pacific preferred that have
given character to the stock market
for two days past, and the profession
al traders made uncertain work vi tn
the stock in the absence of assured
leadership. The stock opened unchang-
ed and advanced a point, dipped 2
points and fiuctuated doubtfully. This
unsettled the whole market and semi
stagnation settled over the deal
ings. Amalgamated Copper was
an exception and was strong and ac>
tive throughout, with only occasional
slight reactions. The buying was con-
centrated in character and was attrib-
uted to Boston account, supposed to
be covering by shorts.
There was no news to account for
the movement, beyond the insistence
by copper interests that the companys
stocks on hand were not unduly large
Sugar and Peoples Gas showed some
sympathy in the late transactions
Amalgamated Copper rose points and
closed within a shade of the best. This
stock held the market against the dis
appointment of the increase in. bank

OHIO DEMOCRATS IN WRANGLE.

Chairman DauEherty Forces Judge
Ditty Out of Office.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30-The trouble
anticipated in the organization Of the DEM
ocratic state executive committee has come.
M. A. Daugherty, the chairman, selected
last week, declared against the wishes Of
Col. Kibourne and representatives of both
Mclean and Tom Johnson that he could
not serve as chairman if Judge r. M. Dit
ty should be made secretary. The COM
bined strength of Kilbourne, Mclean and
Johnson could not shake him from this
determination, and unwilling to force him
to resign from the Craftsmanship, they
yielded to Mr.. Daugherty and elected Mr..
G. f. Gillian of this city to the secretary
ship.
Gillian is newcomer here having come
year ago from Hooking county. He had
not been identified with state politics of
any kind until he was made secretary of
local committee here three months ago
to boom Col. kilbourne for governor. Ditty
is an old, sagacious politician. Most of the
party leaders felt after the defeat of Ditty
Thurman openly said: II want to apollo
gize to the party for suggesting Daugherty
for executive chairman. We have lost the
best secretary in the state and have sad
died upon us probably one of the poorest
chairmen we have ever had" w. II. Will
liams of this city, friend of Judge Ditty,
refused to accept unanimous election as
treasurer Of the committee after Ditty's
defeat.

Gradually Dwindling Away.
Ell RENO, 0. T., July 30.-Scenes about
the lottery platform today, where the
drawing for lands on the Kiowa-Comanche
reservation Is being conducted, were repe-
tition of those of yesterday. During the
night and early morning the crowds had
been swelled by several thousand eager
people, who had arrived in prairie schoon-
ers or on trains. Many slept again upon
the hillsides around the wheels Of fortune,
to be on hand early. Others came from up
town at the break Of day and secured posi-
tions as close to the platform as possible
When the second days drawing commenced
1t was estimated that over 10000 people
were on hand.
The intense excitement Of yesterday had
told on many, and to this was added the
individual feeling that each persons chance
had materially diminished. Yesterdays
the privilege OF selecting the best claims
in the reservations This left IL, coo claims
and 10000 applicants. 1t was decided to
draw 1900 names from the wheels today,
1000 each from the Ell Reno and the Law
ton land districts.
The drawing was started promptly, and
the envelopes were taken from the wheels
at a rapid rate. Among the first numbers
drawn were: For the Lawton district-Jo-
seph r. Greggs, Evansville, Ind; William
]. Thompson, Muncie Ind; Daniel w
Cooper, Eaton, Ohio.
For the Ell Reno district. M. McKin-
sey, Logansport Ind; F. ]. TelIey Frank

action of the executive board of the Anal
gamated Association at Pittsburg today
when 1t passes upon the peace proposals
agreed upon at the conference mere on Sat
urday will be decisive. There exists no
arrangement for further negotiations, and
peace or a continuance of the strike hinges
upon the vote.
The statement that Warner Arms and
group OF officials of the companies forming
the United States Steel Corporation were to
go to Pittsburg for further discussion
with the labor leaders was erroneous. The
agreement of Saturday was complete, and
it's force depends upon its ratification by
the Amalgamated Association and the SUBJ
sidiary companies of the United States Steel
Corporation. The latter action Is, however
mere formality. If the Amalgamated ex-
ecutive board approves the basis of set
tlemeht, the strike will be over; If 1t dis
approves it will continue in effect and In

Shaffer and Williams met Messrs. Morgan

The annual report of the Missouri river
commission was received at the War De-
partment today. For the last year the
sundry civil act carried $4,000 to pre-
serve existing improvements and to prevent
threatened damage at Rulo, Neb., and
other points. and $4,000 to complete the
lock and dam at Usage river, Missouri The
commission, In its report complains of the
inadequacy of appropriations for accom-
pllshing useful results on the Missouri
river or for making progress toward an ul-
innate Improvement. The fact that there
is little. commerce on the river the COM
mission attributes entirely to the condf-
tion OF the river, which is such that 1t Is
hazardous to run boats and impossible to
obtain insurance at reasonable rates No
commerce of consequence can be expected
until the river is put in navigable condi-
tion and opened to the mouth" The COM
pletion of the work from the mouth of the
river to Jefferson City. the report says,
would demonstrate that commerce would
spring up and in addition millions would
be added to the valley by preventing de-
struction caused by the liver The COM
mission estimates that this result could
be completed for $4,000, 600 to So, SOC, 900, and
recommends s., 600 600 for this work during
the next fiscal year. For the Usage river
$5O,2OO is recommended.

PROBATION AGAINST DISEASE.

Regulations Issued for the Admiration
of Hides.
The Treasury Department has in prepara-
tion q circular letter to customs officers
throughout the United States directing
them to absolutely refuse entry to all
hides OF meat cattle from wherever shipped
when not accompanied by regular con-
sular certificate showing that they are dry
salted. arsenic or lime cured, or have
been thoroughly disinfected according to
the sulphur formula prescribed by the
Treasury Department and embodied in the
circular. The only exception to be made is
in the case of abattoir hides shipped from
Norway, Sweden or England, where the
slaughtering is done under goyernment SUI
pervision. and only cattle free from all dis
ease are permitted to be killed.
This action is taken by the department
upon information received through con-
sular sources to the effect that hoof and
mouth disease, anthrax and other ailments
peculiar to meat cattle prevail to greater
or less extent in most Of the European,
Asiatic and South American countries, and
that some shippers Of hides not only fail
to properly disinfect them, but neglect to
procure consular certificates even when
disinfected.

He Thinks Speaker Henderson VIII
BE REFLECTED.
Representative James s. Sherman Of New
York Is in Washington and was at the
Treasury Department today Mr.. Sher-
man was questioned by a Star reporter
concerning New York state politics, but he
refused to discuss the subject, In speak
ing, however, of the discussion which has
prevailed for some time past concerning
an organized opposition to the reelection
of Speaker Henderson. Mr.. Sherman said
'I do not believe there is anything In
this talk. l think. in fact, that Mr.. Hen
derson will be reelected Speaker by ac-
clamation. There Is no opposition to him
SO far as can see, and I do not think that
any other name will be presented to the
caucus making the nomination. That eau
Gus will be an entirely harmonious one, I
believe, and Speaker Henderson will be the
unanimous choice Of the republican men,
bership of the House represented therein" !"
In speaking Of the prospective work Of
Congress next winter, Mr.. Sherman said:
II believe the most important subjects
Of legislation will be those relating to the
government of the new possessions. l
think great deal of the time of the. next
session Will be consumed in the constdera-
tion of matters pertaining to these prob
lens. This of course will involve a dis
cussion on the tariff question, specifically
as well as in a general, way. Congress
must sooner or later prescribe form OF
government for the Philippines which shall
be OF permanent natnres This may and
may not be done at the forthcoming ses-
sion."
Mr.. Sherman declined to talk of the agi-
tatfon which has been set on foot to effect
general reduction in the tariff rates of
the country.

Of registration for each county and city,
which shall have the right to pass upon
the question of citizenship and the general
subject of qualification and character of a

has many advocates in the convention and
it would serve to still further reduce the
negro vote in the states9
The Republicans Active.
The Star correspondents had a talk last
night with member of the convention who
has just returned from southwest Virginia
He says that the republicans are more
active in his section than he has known
them to be for many years; that the meet
ings being held to send delegates to the
Roanoke convention are well attended and
that much better class of men are being
chosen to the convention than has hereto
fore been the case. The number of negro
delegates will be smaller than for many
years, the idea being to have as many rep
resentative white republicans in the nomi-
mating convention as possible.
A republican member of the convention
said today that that party was in excellent
shape for the coming campaign, having all
the ammunition desired IN the letters and
interviews and speeches which have been
made during the pending campaign for the
nomination by the democrats. The republic
cans are counting on the glad hand" of
Chairman Hanna in the coming contest,
and the faithful will vote solidly for the
nominee of the Roanoke convention when
ever the slogan is sounded.
Talk of Adjournment.
With the approach of the two state con-
ventions the talk of an adjournment is be-
ing revived. The democrats meet at Nor
folk August IA, and few days after that
convention the republicans will assemble
at Roanoke. Many of the delegates to the
two conventions are to be found in the
constitutional convention, and with de-
sire to be courteous-and ,atsthe same time
to get away from Richmond for short
while during the heated terTH-the dele
gates are beginning to weaken, many Of
the anti-recess members favoring cessation
from labors for two or three weeks without
pay. The effort to take recess will be
made about the last of this week, or 1t
may be that 1t will hold on until the suf-
frage committee shall have reported and
the report taken home for digestion.
