NEW YORK. November 13.-The rally in
prices which set in late yesterday afternoon
was continued this morning under a mixed
demand. in which the covering of short
contracts was a factor. London sent over
higher range of prices and foreign houses
had moderate volume of buying orders
in this market.
The rumors which unsettled the market
during the previous days of the week were
altered in many ways today. but the main
facts remain.
Two leading speculative interests are
charging one another with bad faith. and
In the vindictive manner customary in Wall
street an effort to force faction out of
the leadership has been undertaken
Exaggeration has been encouraged by the
mystery which surrounded the liquidation
and Generalization was only averted by
more or less public announcement that the
western operators had been forced into un-
loading considerable proportion of their
holdings.
The rather free use Of names was an I'M
fortunate episode as there was no excuse
for attaching suspicion to every trader in
the market west from Pittsburg. The rumor
that Mr.. keene was forcing the selling and
not the banks was credited in some quar-
ters. Those who preferred this view OF the
situation considered the weakness in South
ern Pacific, the Keene favorite mere de-
vice for assisting covering in other direc-
tons
However this may be- the $4,000 shares
OF this stock sold yesterday could only have
come from the Keene pool on the inside
The likelihood is against the latter conclu-
sion.
The recent decision Of the company not
to issue bonds for maintenance and I'M
provements and pay out earnings to share
holders was an unkind answer to expen-
sive brief issued by the pool. and must have
been disappointing. Union Pacific. ST.
Paul and the Gould issues rallied slightly
during the morning, and some good buy
ing Of them was reported. Here and there
a good investment demand was reported,
and there is undoubtedly large short in
terest still to be covered.
A sharp attack on Brooklyn Rapid Transit
was one of the features of the day. the
board having rumor that a large and
weakly margined block Of stock was being
forced out. Several irregular attempts to
rally the stock were recorded. The indus
trial Hist showed some strength and the
prices of curb securities were better.
A sharp advance In the new Rock Island
issues was a'feature in the outside market
The arrival of S2.OO0.000 gold at San Fran
cisco. upon which Geographic payment in
this CITY was made. was an acceptable news
item. Money ruled at to 5is per cent.

SIXTH RACE-Maiden
Notes From Paddock and Track.

Many surprises were furnished at the
Benning track yesterday afternoon, the at
tendance was the largest of the meeting,
three favorites won and the records of the
tracks were smashed right and left. The
beautiful weather and the running Of the
classic stake, the Dixie, doubtless was re-
sponsible for the increased attendance, and
everybody witnessed an afternoon of high
class sport.
All the races were holly contested, and a
majority Of the finishes were so close as to
bring the spectators to their feet with yells
of encouragement for the struggling ponies.
Starter Mars Cassidy had an especially
good day. getting the fields away in excel
lent shape, and none of the jockeys had a
kick coming on their chances at the post.
In the second race nineteen horses drew up
in front of Mr.. Cassidy and in a remarka-
bly, short space Of time he got the field
away from the post like line of cavalry.
A bad start was looked for in this event. on
account of the big field but, strange to say,
1t was almost a perfect send-of.
The last three races were run after The
Star had gone to press. In the fourth event.
Alpaca, entirely overlooked by the betting
public. got away from the post in first
place and held the position all the way,
winning by head from Merrymaker. This
victory for the McCafferty mare was a sur
prise to the betting ring, and outside Of
several ladies in the grand stand hardly a
dollar was bet on her chances. In the last
three races run by Alpaca at the Aqueduet,
she was absolutely last, but yesterday she
rounded into form and won as she pleased.
The owner of the mare did not bet dollar
in the ring. but reports from the western
pool room circuit indicates that there was
something doing on the outside. The
talent could see nothing but Brisk In this
race, but he was never a factor in the race
the hard track evidently being not to his
liking Honolulu ran wonderful race
rnr rixcr fhr0 RzJl
like snake. but Jockey Shea had ruined
all his chances by getting away badly and
sliding into pockets with persistency that
was most discouraging
In the fifth race battle royal resulted in
the stretch between Demurrer and Douro
little Redfern once more demonstra ting his
horsemanship by lifting his mount at the
| finish and winning by a neck fyne had
worked Douro up into second position TWEEN
ty yards from home, but he could not quite
reach. Belvino, the favorfte, finished third.
In the concluding event Cameron was SCI
iected to carry the 'ttaIent,s,' money and
this time the Follansbee colt stood up In
game fashion and managed to beat Jim
the heartbreaking order, and as the horse
in front carried the peoples money there
was no end Of shouting when Cameron fin
ished first
At the conclusion of yesterdays racing
the first thing Secretary Daingerdeid did
was to ship stack of passes TO the weather
bureau for the extremely fine weather fur-
nfshed the meeting 50 far. He may be send
ing bomb before the three weeks are fin
islred- The Washington Jockey Club has

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS
REPRESENTATIVE MEYER ON
THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

Representative Adolph Meyer of Lou
isiana is in the eityIfor day or two, and
will tomorrow beare for his home, to return
here upon the assembling of Congress. Mr..
Meyer does not expect to see any formid-
able republicans party built UP In the south
if it is to be constructed on the basis of the
prominence. of eolored people in it's counseIs.
He does not expect the race question to
be before the House of Representatives in
any important form during the coming ses-
sion. which he thinks will be devoted almost
exclusively to the routine business.
The course of President Roosevelt"
said Mfr. Meyer, when seen by a Star re-
porter today, ''in relation to the building up
of a vfrfle, reputable and respectable party
in the south has met with no success This
was fully evidenced in the recent election
1.-THE republican party in the south with
out the negro was a paradox and could not
meet with the encouragement of the repub-
Hcan party in the western and northern
states for obvious political reasons. The
negro vote in these several sections is too
important to be sighted. AT the same time
with the negro vote the republican party in
the south cannot possibly gain strength and
encoura cement.
The lily white republicans of the south
have ignored the negro and excluded him
from their political assembiages and this
CIaSS OF fepuDucanS Will disappear altOgeth-
er If the national party resorts to any other
course in its effort to strengthen it's south
ern wing. The only republican party in the
south must continue to be the old line party
which, outside of the negro element, will be
adequate, and adequate only, to supply ma
terial for federal offices.
Il do not see how this subject can be
brought before the House of Representa-
tives during the coming session. What will
be done In the Fifty-eighth Congress 1
cannot say"
Democratic Presidential Candidate.
Mr.. Meyer said he had no idea who is
most likely to be the democratic nominee
for the presidency two years hence.
THE elections failed to bring forward
any democratic candidate he said. eff
Parker had been nominated for governor
of New York great many people believe
he would have carried the state and had
that happened, he would have been a yery
likely candidate for the nomination Neither
Hill nor Coler came out in way to make
either Of them a pre-eminent candidate be-
fore the democratic convention. I am NO
prophet, and events have not yet CRYSTAL
ized sufficiently to permit the forming of an
Intelligent judgment concerning presidentiaI
