Record Broken on 'chanae.

New York, May 1.-Transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange. dur
ing the day were by far the largest
in the history Of that institution, the
total being estimated at 2,760,000
shares. Transactions were so large
and the market so active that it was
impossible for the reporters to secure
a record of all the sales, and it is
probable that even the large total
mentioned may be $4,000 shares short
of the market.

son, purporting to be an agent of the
kidnappers, has made a proposition to
Edward A. Cudahy to return $4,000
of the money paid for the ransom OF
his son, who was abducted Dec. IL

This proposition came in a letter

went to Chicago recently because Of
it, being summoned there by his
brother in response to overtures that
had been made. Mr.. Cudahy refused

fight at Zapote river. the most serious
battle fought in the Philippines. Hs

THE BUREIGH BILL ADOPTED

Membership of House Will be In
creased. Mississippi Gains One.
Washington, D. O.-By a vote Of 1875
to 1902 the house Tuesday accepted
the re-apportionment plan proposed
by the Burleigh bill which increases
the membership Of the house during
the next decade from 367, the present
membership, ana the membership
proposed by the committee in the
Hopkins bill, to 1856. The result was
largely brought about by the influ-
enoe Of certain senators from several
Of the larger northern states who
threw the weight of their influence
in the scale in favor of the larger
membership. When it became appar-
emit that these factors were at work
against his bill, Mr.. Hopkins at
tempted to compromise by giving an
additional representative each TO
North Dakota and Colorado and
Florida, hut his adversaries refused to
compromise after complete victory
was assured. The Crumpacker propo-
sition to reoommit the bill for the
purpose Of ascertaining what states
had curtailed right to vote to an ex-
tent which would entail reduced rep
resentation was defeated 100 to ITO.
There was no roll call on this vote,
but number Of Republicans voted
with the Democrats.
Under the bill as passed Tuesday
no state loses a representative and
the following make gains: Illinois,
New York and Texas, three each /;
Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsly-
vania, two each; and Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Flori-
da, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Washington, West Vir-
Sinia and Wisconsin one each.
The bill provides that whenever a
new state is admitted the representa-
tive assigned to it shall be in addi-
ton to the number provided in the
bill. It also adds provision never
hitherto incorporated in a reappor-
tionment bill to the effect that con-
gressional districts, in addition to be-
ing contiguous, shall also be
compact. -
States which are allowed additional
representatives by the bill shall by
its terms elect at large until the Leg
islature shall re-district the state.
