After lighting cigar in certain

man carelessly threw the flaming
match toward the waste basket.
Luckily it fell short. Too much
precaution cannot be exercised, and
especially at this time of the year.
Fire in zero weather is doubly
dangerous, and once thoroughly
under headway is bound to create
havoc, no matter how efficient the
fire department may be.

THE HOUSE.

Tie House today, after some routine bust
ness resumed the consideration of the post
Office appropriation bill.
II was agreed that general debate upon
the bill should close in three hours.
The annual discussion Of the items for
additional compensation for special mail
facilities between Washington and New
Orleans and Kansas City and Newton, Kan.
was then inaugurated in a speech by Mr..
Crumpacker Gnd) in opposition 10 the spe-
C!ai appropriations. The amount Of these
appropriations was reduced in the present
bill from Sl?6,OO0 to 1000, because of the
Abandonment of the subsidy between New
York and Washington. During the exist
ence of the subsidy for that portion of the
route tS2S,oO0) he said. the cost Of carry
ing the mails for that distance exclusive
OF the subsidy averaged 81. 400 per mile per
annum against an average throughout the
United States of only S1S6 per mile
The Southern Railway. which received
the subsidy between Washington and New
Orleans. he said. now received $669 per
mile in regular mail pay against 1885 when
the subsidy was inaugurated in 1893. He
Contended that the road could not afford to
withdraw its fast train il the subsidy was
withdrawn.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala) defended the SUBJ
sidy to the Southern railroad on the ground
that il was absolutely necessary to give the
South quick mail facilities. The whole
South, he said. was benefited by the extra
train run in return for this appropriation.

ECUADOR GIVES ASSURANCES.
Americans in That Country Will Not
Be Denied Justice.

The Ecuadorian minister, Senior Carbo
called at the State Department today and
had a long conversation with DR.. Hill, the
acting secretary of state, respecting the
several questions that have arisen of late
connected with the development of Ameri-
can interests in Ecuador. It is understood
that these are, after all. matters of small
consequence and are likely to be of easy
adjustment, though some time may be oc-
cupied in it. Of one thing the United States
government has been assured, namely,
there will be no denial of justice to Ameri-
cans in Ecuador But the labor laws there
are embarrassing in some instances to con-
tractors, and the law suits arising between
employer and employed are as vexatious
as those brought in the United States, ac-
cCrding to the EcuadOrian contention. and
must be worked out In the same way. With
this assurance on the part of the Ecua-
dorian government. and the prompt state
ment from the Department of State that
the visit OF the L. S. S. Philadelphia to
Guayaquil has no diplomatic significance it
appears that there is no ground for danger
Gus friction.

THE ANTI-SMOKE LAW
JUDGE SCOTT IMPOSES FINE OF
$50 FOR VIOLATION.
Mr.. Theobold J. Tally, the Defendant
Gives Notice of Appeal-Other
Cases on Trial.

Judge Scott, presiding In the Police Court
today, imposed a fine Of $50 on Theobold j.
Tally, who was convicted by jury yes
terday of having violated the anti-smoke
law at the Raleigh Hotel. ]. ]. Hamilton,
attorney for Mr.. Tally, announced that he
would carry the case to the Court of Ap-
peals. Another charge Of the same char
acter is still pending against Mr.. Tally.
When the name of Lindley e. Sinclair
was called to answer an information alleg-
ing that the anti-smoke law had been vio-
lated at one of the power houses of the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany February he did not answer, and
the bond of 500 was declared to be for
feited. This, it Is said. was no indica ton
that the company does not intend to contest
the case. for there are thirty-five cases
against the corporation awaiting trial by
jury. 1t is highly probable that a request
will be made to have the forfeiture set
aside.
Q. G. Staples of the National Hotel and
Benjamin s. and Edward Graves of the
Havenner Baking Company each forfeited
$40 collateral on Information alleging that
they had failed to comply with the anti
smoke law.
VIM. H. Moses, representing the firm of
w. III. Moses e Sons, is on trial before a
jury in Judge Scett's court this afternoon
on two charges Of alleged violation of the
anti-smoke law, at the firms place of busi-
ness. The jury had not reported when this
report closed.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. March I3.-Trading during
the first half of today's stock market was
moderately steady. under a decreased vol
uIne OF business. London sent over a
slightly higher range of prices but there
was no new business from that center
The trading element was inclined to take
profits on certain specialties because of the
fact that many of the larger interests are
away from the city and no material change
In prices is likely to take place until their
return. The absence Of such interests and
the imperfect wire connections with the
south tend to emphasize the general dull
ness.
The announced intention of the United
States Steel Company to issue bonds 10
take up such an amount of the preferred
stock as may consent to the change was
taken TO indicate a need OF new money on
the part of that corporation. This fact
led to some selling OF the stocks, but
there was good support at the low level
and inside interests are confident that the
investment public will have no occasion to
crfticise any new financing that may be
undertaken at a later date.
The industrial list was inclined to react
moderately under mixed selling snarp
break in Sugar inviting selling in other
parts Of the list. There is more policy than
anything else In the present course Of
Sugar. for 1t is Well known that the admin
istration's program for Cuba will be espe-
cially acceptable to this company should it
prevail in Congress.
Copper was less active than yesterday
and there was fair volume OF short cover
ing by inside interests
The hardening tendency of the call
money rate was used against the indus
trials, but traders were the principal SELL
ers. Manhattan was in good demand by
both accounts and the strength In that
property served to stiffen the entire trac-
tion group.
The low-priced issues were Irregular, but
the pools were free buyers on all conces-
sions. and there was no abatement Of con-
fcence In higher prices for certain OF the
recently active specialties.
Reports of rains in needy sections Of the
west were beneficial to prices and en-
couraged good buying OF the grain-carry-
ing roads.
The coal stocks reflected decreasing
strike fears. and the Reading issues went
into the strongest houses In the street
1t Is said that early announcement OF
certain plans for the Reading Company
may be made from the Morgan Office
Baltimore and Ohio is being bought by a
pool. and there is fair demand for South
erns issues based upon the prospects for an
increased dividend on the preferred stock
at Fridays meeting.
