DIRECTS ISSUE OF WRIT.
Justice COle's Action In Case of PEN
sion Attorney Phillips.

Justice Coles Action In Case of Pen
sion Attorney Phillips.
Justice Cole Of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia has announced that
he will sign an order directing that the
writ of mandamus issue in connection
with the proceedings instituted the 10Th
of last January by Henry D. Phillips
against the commissioner Of pensions.
1t Is stated that the 9Th of February,
1900, an order was issued disbarring Mr..
Phillips from practice before the pension
bureau. the order being based. it is said.
on Phillips having allowed notary public
who was connected with his business to
charge a fee of 80 cents for taking an affi-
davit in the state Of New Jersey. The
commissioner Of pensions, It Is said. was
Of the opinion that the law Of New Jersey
prohibited the payment OF fee greater
the order disbarring Mr.. Phillips was re-
voked, 1t is said that the commissioner Of
pensions refused to recognize him as an
attorney.
The petition for writ Of mandamus re-
cited that in the case Of Sarah A. Doch-
erty, a widow, the commissioner had de-
MED Phillips fee because another attor-
ney had been substituted in his stead dur
ing the period Of disbarment. Phillips con-
tended that he had never been dtsbarred,
and that any unwarranted acts done by
the commissioner, could not invade nor de-
stroy his rights under the law.
Another case before the court was that
Of Louisa Aab. for accrued pension due her
deceased husband, George Aab. Phillips
had received a fee OF - direct from the
applicant The commissioner, SO it was
said, held that this payment was contrary
to law. and demanded that Phillips surren-
der that amount Phillips contended that
an accrued pension case was not claim
for pension within the meaning Of the
statute, and that the matter was one OF
contract between the attorney and the ap-
plicant.
Both Of these proceedings were brought
argued by counsel March IL.
In disposing of the matter, as stated,
Justice Cole directed that the writ, as
prayed. issue against the commissioner OF
pensions in each case.

There were other men drinking in the place. The Rev. Normal Plass, Super intendent of the Anti-Saloon League for Greater New York with two com panions. called at Corbett's place ear ly in the morning of May 2. 1900. and bought whiskey.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
THE SHORTS MEET WITH
 FURTHER REvERSES.
Sensational Advance in the Liver pool Exchange Was Responsible for Bear Stampede in the
 New York Market.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Shorts met with further reverses in all the speculative markets today, with Summer months bears suffering badly during the first hour of the local market. The opening was nrm at an advance of points. fol- lowed by gain of sos points more on stampede of the bear force. prompted by sensational advance in the English market. The strong undertone here was increased by reports that the New or leans shorts were in a panic and that spot cotton markets were stffening rap idly on urgent demand from exporters. All sorts of rumors were circulated con- cerning affairs in the Liverpool -arket. One story had 1t that New York buying orders started the scare. orders that spin ners were covering their shorts on fear that cotton being diverted to New York intended for Europe. The trade here look for no material change in the English market this morning and was dismayed to find that market up points on near months before our opening. This rise was later increased to over s points. Buying orders were sent and for time every thing indicated genuine rout of the bear 8.03 before turn was made. August fol- lowed close behind. The new crop op- tons worked up very readily in sympa- thy. Not through the balance of the ses- sion did the bears recover from their scare, though profit taking cut down the advance materially after the first hour Receipts cut little figure as factor. The public was light buyer of the new crop month from time to time during the day. The close was steady with prices net 2QS points higher

London Financial Cablegram.

NEW YORK, June 5.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: Business on the Stock Exchange here today dwindled down to almost nothing. The general exodus to witness the derby left very few members to do business. Our own securities were prac tically neglected and what dealings there were centred in the American depart ment. those stocks alone being fairly ac- tive. In the early dealings traders were generally inclined to sell on the theory that stocks had enjoyed a rather sharp rise and that a reaction was about due. Denver and Rio Grande came to the res cue, however. and led the rally on what was generally assumed to be Gould buy ing. Atchisen also spurted on buying for the New Work account. The result was that the close was happy and at top figures for the day. the common stocks being especially favored. The Bank of England has bought G19000 of gold in bars. Money continues easy, the call rate still being per cent. It Is very generally expected that the bank rate will be re- duced tomorrow. Exchange on Berlin is 20 A.

 The soaking rainfall in the Spring wheat country, where 1t was most need ed, was the dominant influence in the wheat trade throughout the session, al- though other items were at hand, al times contributing 10 the weakness, while others caused temporary checks to the decline. The fact that leading com mission house is believed to be manipu- lating the July delivery was apparently overlooked by the crowd. At no time did the support have the appearance of any strength. It came almost entirely from nervous shorts who were Quick to secure the profits which the recent slump has brought them. July opened h@H prediction of frost in the Northwest and more fly damage reports from Kan sas caused a rally to 76 but a decline to 75A followed in short order. Later July, mand and momentary cessation of sell Ing reacted to 7oA475b. As the session neared the end the anxiety to unload or to take the popular short selling side in ances, and July dropped to 749s. Here the market steadied as the selling ceased, but the close was weak. July 1% lower at i5. September was supported chiefly by SHCTL6, WHO uTeducI Ine tcIISCl Ol d lTOst and this delivery closed at 71&, only a shade under yesterday. Local receipts were 69 cars. one of contract grade. Min neapolis and Duluth reported APO cars, against 149 last week and 331 a year ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 2740O0 bushels, while pri- mary receipts were 675.0OO bushels, com- pared with 451,000 bushels last year.
 The corn trade was rather dull The opening was easy on the rains and in sympathy with wheat. The prediction Of frost, however, caused buying, which steadied prices. although the frost is only a possibility. July sold between 4tB and 44ss and closed a shade up at AS. Re- ceipts were 3i4 cars, Al of contract grade, and country offerings were light.
 Oats were in plentiful supply because of the rains, many of the selling orders coming from country points. Support by a local trader, however. checked the de- cline, although the feeling generally wa; bearish. July sold between 2sA and 21k Q27Ss and closed 1saAc lower at 2SQ2Sb Receipts. 21S cars.
 Provisions were quiet but prices held steady on a demand for lard thought to be for investment It was sufficient to cause covering in the rest of the list Fluctuations were narrow. July pork closed a shade higher at $1452G14.b5; July lard 714 up at 2, and July ribs shade improved at 6S5.
