NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE movement
OF prices in :o-day's stock market was
an almost exact repetition Of that OF yes

show OF strength up to the last hour,
when selling movement developed which
wiped out practically al. Of the earlier
gains and carried some prices below last

The reaction to-day wa. rather more
gradual and not quite so severe rs yes

tone just before the close There is no
reason TO doubt that the late selling move

story Of the steamer Cheribon.

San Francisco, Cal, May 10,-The Pa
cific Mail Steamship Newport brings a
story concerning the steamer Cheribon,
which went on Remedies reef, near
Aoajutla, on the morning Of April ~.
when the steamer struck the reef Capt.
Pitt and the crew, fearing that she
would sink, launched the boats and
rowed to the shore. No one was left on
board the vessel Capt Pitt made his
way TO Acajutla and notified the un-
derwriters Of the loss OF the vessel
While he was In Acajutla an Amen-
can citizen named Moysant boarded the
vessel. Finding that the cargo Of 49,
900 sacks OF coffee which the vessel
carried could be saved, he laid claim
20 the Cheribon hauled down the
Chillan flag under which she was sail
ing and hoisted the Stars and Stripes
in its place. The Gillian consul at
Acajutla was appealed TO and Moysant
was forced TO haul down the American
flag. He in turn appealed to the United
States consul, but failed to find JUST.

cation company.

Protest Agaius, l,undesrath's Decree

Berlin, May 1O--A conference Of
chemists and meat packers was held
here to protest against the prohibition
Of the bundesrath concerning the Use Of
boracic acid In the preservation of
meat and the importation NJ meats so
preserved DR., Kayser Of Nuremburr
said that 3S,0OO0OO people in Germany
were already eating much less meat
than their health required and that the
decree Of the bundesrath tended further
to reduce the available meat SUNNY
limiting the Imports Of foreign and the
preservation Of domestic meats.
Pnyy Medical Councillor Prof Lie.
brecht said the trouble with the experts
OF the imperial health Office was that
they considered the subject from one
side only that they sought to make out
case against the use Of borax IN any
form or quantity arguing from The
principle that II Il was Injurious in
large quantities It must also be SO when
used In small quantities. The tendency
of food specialists TO condemn the adj.
dition Of any ingredients TO natural
food products Is wholly untenable IN
practice, said the speaker.
The conference passed a resolution TO
the effect that the prohibition Of the
bundesrath was indefenslble upon
scientific grounds.

WHY EVANS
RESIGNED

washington, May 9.-In view Of the
published statements to the contrary,
II can be said on authority that can
not be questioned that Commissioner
Evans desire to sever his connection
with the pension bureau was not
prompted by any suggestion on the part
Of the president or anyone speaking for
him. After the announcement today
mat his nomination as consul general
TO London had been confirmed by the
senate Mr. Evans made the following
statement
Much has been said and much has
been written about my retiring from
the pension bureau. ] am exceedingly
grateful for the kind treatment and
support | have received at the hands
Of my superiors the generous support
Of the press, the approval OF the people
ana the generous and loyal co-opera-
tiOn Of trained and competent corps
Of experienced employees in the bureau,
While holding the most trying position
In the government,
81 have given over five years OF the
best EFFORTS, the most diligent attention
and close application to the duties per-
talnng thereto. ] am much pleased
with results and present conditions.
About 100000 claims have been adJu-
dicated during this period. June &c.
1898, there were 635, 900 claims pending;
the records show there are now about
100000 claims pending. The work then
was largely IN arrears from two to
three years, according In the class.
1T Is now current. There have been
no scandals connected with the service
or any branch Of it, The disbursements
through its various agencies have
amounted to over s100,OO,00O. | have
been only one Of the contributors to
this work; the great results are due to
the loyalty, efficiency and intelligent
aid had from the officials and employees
of the bureau and It's agency.
~ have not felt at liberty until my
was settled to make any
but In view Of the repeated
assertions that had been forced out Of
Office, desire 70 say, once for all, that
such statement Is wholly without foun-
dalton.
President Roosevelt knew from the
first that / was anxious TO surrender
the office, and that only waited for
an opportunity. / resigned entirely Of
my own accord, following out a purpose
| had had for many months, the same
purpose ! had expressed 10 Mr. McKin-
ley, but intended to remain until any
or all changes were disposed OF. My
was unconditional and did
not hang on any future appointment.
Il had fully and patiently gone
through the five years work in the
pension bureau doing the most ardu-
1us labor and accomplishing much Of
which had reason to be proud and j

was presented, felt that my business
was such that / could I'LL II
