is hopeful. Easier money, which may be
expected in a few days, and the antic-
ipated investment demand will undoubt-
edly be used as bull argument. AS a
result, we shall probably have a good
trading market for spell, during which
we should advise profit-taking upon all
pronounced rallies. There are still ru-
mors and rumors respecting various i'm
portant railroad deals, which must have
an important influence upon values. In
this connection litigation regarding the
Northern Pacific merger will have sig
nificant bearing. An adverse decision
might not prevent an object that could
be attained by other legal methods, but
it would cause delay and disappoint-
ment which would unQuestionably affect
the prices Of other securities now under
the sway of community of interest and
merger plans.
1 extend the compliments of the season
to all my readers, and congratulate them
upon a year of great prosperity and upon
having been witnesses at the launching
of the most gigantic business enterprises
In the worlds history. The great con-
solicitations in the Industrial world and
the harmoniZatton of vast interests in
the railway world surpass all precedent.
AS a partial solution at least of great
economic problems they hold forth great
promise. 1t is something to have lived
in stirring times and taken part in great
movements. 1 wish you all a very happy
new year and a large share of the pros
perity yet in store for us all.

HEPBURN'S BILL UP
ISTHMIAN CANAL MEASURE Is A
SPECIAL ORDER TUESDAY
IN THE HOUSE
WILL BE SEVERELY CRITICISED
The Bill VIII Pass Without Any Very
Extended Debate, and Mean
while the Senate Will Wait,
LOafinG Along.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-After a Ie-
cess OF almost three weeks both houses
of congress will reconvene tomorrow. The
principal item on the house programme
for the week is the Hepburn isthmian
canal bill, which is the special order for
Tuesday. No limit has been fixed as to
the time for debate upon this measure,
but Mr.. Hepburn does not contemplate a
prolonged discussion of it. It is sur
missed i'll some quarters, however, that if
the proposition Of the Panama Canal COM
pany to sell it's property and franchises
for $40,000,000 should be made tomorrow.
as promised, this may have the effect OF
opening a wider field of discussion than
at first seemed probable, and if this
should prove to be the case the bill may
be before the house for a longer time
than is now contemplated.
It is understood that there will be
many speeches in criticism of special
features of the measure but its friends
are very sanguine, not only that the bill
will pass, but that it will pass speedily.
Mr. Hepburn, the author of the bill,
thinks that only few days Of debate will
be necessary.
1t is expected that by the time the
canal bill is disposed Of there will be one
or more appropriation bills ready for
consideration by the house. The present
intention is to give first attention to the
deficiency bill. The estimates for that
bill aggregate $12, 000, 900, and it is not be-
| lieved that these figures will be scaled
down materially.
Senate Temporarily SIumbers.
The senate has no programme for the
| week, and very little business on it's cal
endar, as the reorganization of the SEN
! ate committees did not take place until
| just before the holidays. There are, how
! ever, a few bridge bills reported, and
Senator Morgan's bill for the acquisition
! CT right of way for the Nicaragua canal
is among the measures in position to re-
| ceive attention. 1t is not probable, how,
| ever, that the right of way bill will re-
| ceive consideration at this time, the dis
| position being rather to await the action
| of the house upon the general subject
| and then have the senate predicate its
action on the house bill. If this course
should be decided on the discussion OF
! the canal question in the senate will be
| postponed for a few weeks.
| The committee on the Philippines will
| take up the Philippine tariff question
| very soon, but there Is no indication as
! to how much time the matter may con-
! sumo In committee. Hence there is no
| probability that the senate itself viii be
| able to reach that question for some
| time
Senator Frye is engaged on his report
on the shipping bill. but is not yet able
| to fix the time for its completion.
The announcement of Senator Sewell's
death probably vii! be made tomorrow, in
which event there will be an immediate
adjournment for the day.

ENGLISH PUBLIC CAUTIOUS.
Must Be Re-enthused Before TGey
VIII Speculate.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The, activity which
developed with the resumption of bust
ness Jan. was greatly aided by the
abundance of money with which strin-
gent market has recently and suddenly
become fooled. Professional operators
were naturally anxious for a rise and
did their utmost to foster the boom,
but however good were the promises
upon which the predicted advance was
based, the public thus far has not been
responsive. This hesitancy is due equal
ly to the lack of faith and to the lack
of cash with which to speculate. Until
the public can be re-enthused the boom
is bound to drag. s.t.
The greatest vitality at the close Of the
last week was exhibited by Kaffirs. This
vitality was based not so much upon the
genuine hope of the proximity Of peace
as the belief that the completion Of the
blockhouses would soon render Johannes
burg safe for miners whether the wal
stops or not
The American section of the stock ex.
change showed little actual business.
There has been so much talk of the high
point having been overreached in the
United States that investors here have
grown decidedly cautious.

MAND INVESTIGATION.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-Ohicers of the Or
der of Birth Abraham, which had a
stormy session at the Grand Central Pal
ace last Sunday while trying to fix the
responsibility for an alleged shortage in
the lodges funds, decided today that the
laws governing life insurance in the or
der had been violated 1t was therefore
determined to draft resolutions request
ing that the commissioner of insurance
investigate the alleged embezzIement
with a view to the punishment of the
guilty persons.
1t was stated today that the shortage
might prove to be $4,000 upon further in

HUSTLING THE BRICANDS
FEUD OF OUTLAWS is CAUSING
ANXIETY.

CONSTANTINOPLE,J Jan. 5.-The news
that the brigands holding Miss Stone
captive are being hustled by the inhabi-
tants of the Turkish territory where they
are said to be in hiding, has created
considerable sensation here. A deadly
feud is said to exist between the leaders
of the hostile bands, some of whom are
reported to have deserted. and are at
tempting to re-enter Bulgaria. Much
anxiety is felt there with regard to the
outcome of these developments.
The American legation here has not re-
ceived news from NJ. GargiuIo, the drag
oman of the legation, who left Salonika
for the interior the latter part of last
month with the purpose of meeting Miss
Stones captors. Members of the Legal
ton say the rumors of Miss Stones re-
lease are quite unfounded. No direct
news has been received from the Amerf-
can captive since Nov. Is, the date Of the
last letter from Miss Stone to Mr.. Dick
inson, consul general at Constantinople,
who was then acting as diplomatic agent
Of the United States at Sofia.
