NEW YORK. February 1s-The under
tone of today's stock market was moderate
ly firm and there was good demand I'm
certain OF the so-called specialties. Com
mission houses had few orders of signifi-
canoe and the best buying was limited to
banking circles and the pools In this buy
ing there were strong evidences OF a con-
fident belief in the future Of the market
The demand was confined to such prop
critics as have behind them actual or pros
pective value and was regarded In conserva-
tive circles as a logical movement
The buying of Reading issues particular
~ the second preferred. was of the best,
and is said to be forerunner of the ef-.
tort to retire the second preferred and
Drlng the common stock within range OF
dividends.
The coal group generally was given ex-
celient support and the buying OF the high
priced issues was credited to interests
closely related to the anthracite consolida-
tion project Erie issues were steady, and
the demand in them was said to show signs
of Improvement, but there Is little public
interest In them.
The Gould stocks were well bought. upon
rumors that an amicabie agreement with
Pennsylvania was likely.
The yerification OF these reports would
me an that the greater Gould system is to
be allowed peaceful entry to the seaboard
of Pittsburg. This agreement reached
there Is little doubt but that the plans
for n closer union of all the southwestern
properties will follow closely. Texas Pa
cific gives evidence OF some preference in
the demand for Gould issues. while Wa
bash common and preferred advance easily.
The market is not broad enough to per-
NIT movements of this character to run
far without frequent Interruptions, and dull
periods or concessions are almost certain to
follow every advance.
Panhandle stocks became conspicuous
during the afternoon by the sudden bidding
mp in the price OF the preferred stock
The bid price was steadily advanced
from LOG to lis on an attempt to purchase
a limited amount of stock. The common
stock was firm and in fair demand, but
was not so vigorously advanced. Tho
Southern Pacific pool was credited with
some selling of that stock, but the price
was again well sustained around 81. The
selling thus far has been most liberal at

tion under
Amalgamated Copper was heavy again
and seemed to find pressure from inside
on every rally. Sugar was advanced dur
ing the morning under fair buying. but
later met realizing sales. The steel shares
were firm, and reports from the trade are
generally encouraging. The local Traction
deal has fallen rather fiat and has handi-
capped it's underwriters In the matter of
the attention needed to bring their other
properties to the front.

THE SENATE.

AT the conclusion of routine business i'm
the Senate today it was agreed that the
nnal vote should be taken OH the Philippine
tariff bill and amendments thereto next
Monday at I o'clock. During the last day
the debate 70 le limited To fifteen minutes
to each senator. no debate to be had after
the voting begins.
Mr.. Wellington Md then addressed the
Senate upon the Philippine question, stat
ing his points Of disagreement with the
party with which he had been identified
throughout his life. He said he had been
q republican. Il protectionist and believer
In a gold standard of currency. However.
he said the Spanish war brought the parting
of the ways. He was opposed to that war.
and beliered that Cuban independence
could have been brought about by diplo
matir negotiations. Then came the i'm
periaistic tendencies of the republican
party and with them he could not agree.
Without the Spanish war he said Cuba
might have been free might have enjoyed,
Indeed. "A larger measure of freedom and in
dependence than She was enjoying now or
would enjoy in the future. The only thing
Cuht lad t'aen taught was how II postal
offici't could enbeZzie i half million dol
lars.
Referring to the bill under discussion Mr.
Wellington declared his opposition To il ON
the broad ground OF the minority" that
there was no right here to enact such leg
isiation.
Referring TO the decision OF the Supreme
Court. holding that the Philippine archt-
pelaso was territory of the United States.
he said that IL was an aggregation OF the
opinions of Jack Bunsby.
MIR. Wellington then entered upon an ex-
teuded review of the events which led up
to the trouble in the Philippines following
tue line of argument pursued heretofore by
the minority in the Senate.
During his speech Mr.. Wellington spoke
Of the sea battle OF Santiago. and said Ad
miral Schley was in command OF the vessels
OF the American squadron. but the admin
fstratton had been as unjust to him as 1t
had been TO the Cubans and Fiiipinos. He
said he had not received the credit due him.
but an effort had been made to besmirch
him and detract from his character and
bravery. The mention of Schleys name
Caused applause In one OF the galleries.

THE PUBLIC rs CONCERNED.

There may possibly be doubt as to just what
is meant by Mr.. Vreeland, president of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company, when
he says that 1.-The public is not concerned IN
the effort of the Board of Health to abate the
nuisance of sulphurous acid fumes given off by
the storage batteries on the Thirty-fourth-st
line If he means that the immediate contro-
versy, or negotiation, is between the respon-
sible officers of the company and the Board OF
Health then the only criticism to which he is
liable is that he used a somewhat unfortunate
expression. But if the natural Interpretation
of his remark is the true one he would do well
to reconsider his opinion. 1t is fair to say that
Mr.. Vreeland, though he has left some things
reasonably demanded of his company undone,
and has done others only under the pressure of
strong public condemnation has not adopted
generally contemptuouS attitude toward the
community. 1t may be hoped, therefore. that
reflection he will perceive the desirability of
withdrawing the assertion referred to.
There is no doubt that passengers on the
Thirty -fourth-st. cars are at times compelled
TO breathe distressing and injurious atmos-
phere. So much at least has been conclusively
proved. To say, therefore. that it does not con-
Germ the public. which brought the matter 10
the attention of the Board of Health and in
whose name the board is acting, is to speak
aDSurQiI- Nor Is tnere tne SllSnIeSJ reason 1OI
resentment on the part of Mr.. Vreeland. The
operation of storage battery cars on an impor-
tant crosstown road is an experiment which
has been watched with considerable interest
and. as we are disposed to think, with a strong
desire that it might prove satisfactory in all
respects, inasmuch as an individual motor pos
sesses some undoubted advantages. especially
by virtue OF its capacity to propel a car on any
track and so TO serve particular purpose on de-
mand. The public has wish TO force n with
drawal of the Thirty-fOurth-st. cars, but only
wants 10 have au obvious defect removed; and
the company. which is presumably seeking to
determine their comparative faults and merits.
ought 70 welcome competent testimony that
subject
The general opinion OF those who use them
seems 10 be that, aside from the offensive fumes
which the batteries emit, these cars do their
work well on the whole, running smoothly and
rapidly. except perhaps, on the up grade be-
tween Lexington and Park aves.. where there
Is occasionally a deficiency OF power. The
relative cost Of operating them is properly
enough the company's secret with which The
public is not concerned" though it does feel
natural and not reprehensible curiosity on that
point.

SOME STRAWS IN HICHIGAY.

1t is to be hoped our antireciprocity friends
are still paying attention TO the news from
Michigan. A short time ago that State was 10
them the very Land OF Promise. It's name was
a sweet morsel under their tongues. When the
Republican conventions OF other States, with
InoDotenous unaninity, declared in favor OF the
Presidents policy OF reciprocity with Cuba they
shrugged their shoulders and said, "Oh. WELL
but look at Michigan." There, In the land Of
the Wolverines, and there alone was the true
voice of the people TO be heard. There was the
true national policy formulated. For Michigan
alone had not declared for Cuban reciprocity
OF course, it had not condemned II. II had
simply climbed upon the fence and lodged it
altogether. But even that negative victory was
a great thing for the foes Of reciprocity. and
they began to dream dreams Of some great
leader arising in Michigan who should sweep
away the mischievous teachings Of Blaine and
Harrison and Mckinley and Roosevelt and re-
establish upon a foundation of beet sugar the
true faith Of pre-Adamite protection.
1t is 10 be hoped, we repeat, that the news
from Michigan is still carefully regarded For
IL is borne in upon that il is not quite so
halcyon and vOclferous in its opposition TO rec-
procity as our beet sugar friends once thought
it WAS The Congress district conventions
of the Republican party are now being held.
These are twelve in number. In four OF them
the present Representatives have failed to
secure denominations. Precisely why, deponent
saith not. But ii is a suggestive fact that those
four Representatives made themselves conspic-
nous al Washington during the late session as
opponents Of Cuban reciprocity. One OF them
was one Of the chief organizers of the Boxer"
revolt, and the others Joined heartily In that
movement The reason of their action was
unconcealed. Michigan was one Of the chief
beet sugar States, and these men were-so they
pretended, and possibly imagined-acting In the
interest of and executing the viii of their con-
stituents. So they went back to their constltu-
ents and sought denomination on the ground of
their championship of beet sugar and their
opposition 70 the Presidents reciprocity policy.
They have their reward. Their constituents
have rejected and repudated them, and have
chosen other men to take their places in the
next Congress. That is the fact of record Men
may explain 1t they please, Perhaps all the
beet growers and sugar makers In Michigan
are Democrats, who were unrepresented In
Republican conventions. Perhaps those inter
ested in that industry so few that they do
not count in popular convention Perhaps
they are sufficiently clearheaded TO see, with
Mr.. Oxnard himself that reciprocity with Cuba
would not reduce protection and would not hurt
their industry biz. Perhaps they are sufi
cientiy highminded 10 hold national honor and
the expediency and welfare OF the whole nation
above all other issues. The fact remains unal
