General Advance.

New York, Jan. 18.--The stock market has
oeen narrow and professional and the move
ment OF prioeg was irregular. The admls-
sion to argument in the supreme court OF
the case against the Northern Securities COM
pany had chilling effect upon the whole
market. The issue of $50, 000 900 OF Atchison
debentures, rumors Of coming bond issues by
Erie and Union Pacific and action by New
York Central directors toward issuing $780,.
100000 additional stock, were regarded as evil
dence OF tendency towards capital expan-
sion not favorable to values of securities.
There were vague rumors current Of financial
troubles, supposed to be the outgrowth OF
the dlttlculties recently disclosed OF indus
trial combinations. The growing abundance
OF money helped to some recoverles late IN
the week.

INVESTMENT GOSSIP

Waldorf stock gossip to Watson: While the
campaign against the short interests in the
stock market resulted in further rally, there
is very little confidence in the stability of
prices. Commission business shows little if
any increase SO far the public is con-
cerned the great bulk Of orders coming from
pools and maripulators The latter are en-
couraged by the prospect Of an excellent bank
statement, and it is not improbable that they
will bring about a further improvement in
the market But the best houses continue
pessimistic. arguing that any further bulge
will invite strong selling. Hence the shrewd-
advance, being quite positive that the latter
will no hold for over a day or two anyway.
way 1t has acted the past week makes for
confidence in an ultimate large advance in it,
and also stamps 1t as stock to buy whenever
the market gets a shaking down. Generally
speaking, the borrowing demand for stocks
is greatly reduced and it is thought that an
other days strength would pretty thoroughly
eliminate it, thus removing an effective sup
port.

BLOW BREAKS SKULL.
WfnOna Boy. Struck by Another
With His Fist. Dies of Injuries.

Winona. Mimi, June II. - Louis
Scherer, the sixteen-year-old son or
Conrad Scherer of this city, died early
yesterday morning from the effects of a
blow given him by John Haase, another
boy. the evening before. Scherer was
at the levee watching excursionists land
from the steamer ]. S., which had taken
an excursion to La Crosse.
He was standing near the g~ang-plank
and as Haase came down, the latter
struck him on the side of the head, as
he claims, with his fist. Scherer went
home n told his step-mother Of the
affair, but seemed to suffer no i'll effects.
Later he went to bed, apparently as
well as ever. He was called yesterday
morning about $50 o'clock and re-
sponded, but failed to get up. Later an
investigation was made and it was
found that he was unconscious. A ply
stefan was at once summoned and an
effort was made to get him to the hos
rital, but he died before the ambulance
arrived. A post norton examination
showed that his skull had been frac-
tured, rupturing a small artery, the
blood thus oozing out and forming a
clot on the brain. which caused death.

Washington, June Elm further con-
sideration of the isthmian canal project
he senate heard yesterday two
speeches, neither of which was COM
pleted. Mr.. Hanna of Ohio spoke in
favor of the Spooner amendment. con-
ferring on the president the authority
to purchase the rights Of the Panama
Canal company If a valid title could be
obtained, otherwise he shall decide upon
he Nicaragua route. Mr.. Mitchell sup
ported the Hepburn bill for the con-
.struction of the canal by the Nicaragua
route. Seldom has a senator been ac-
corded a more attentive hearing thar
that given Mr.. Hanna. The Panama
route he considered much to be pre-
ferred to the Nicaragua rout as it pro-
vided an interoceanic waterway much
shorter and one that could be traversed
at less expense than the Nicaragua
route. He maintained that the United
States was to build the canal to ac-
commodate the mmerce Of the world,
and said that act must be taken into
account.
Mr.. Mitchell urged that unless the
Nicaragua route was determined upon
definitely by congress it would mean
n indefinite ~postponement and per-
maps the ultimate defeat of any canal
legislation. He insisted that the Mic
aragua route was entirely feasible and
practicable, while the Panama route in
Volved difficulties which were scarcely
to be ~surmounted.

Washington. June 5. - Discussion of
the project Of constructing an isthmian
canal was begun by the senate yester-
day. Mr.. Morgan of Alabama, chair
man of the committee on interoceanic
canals. opened the debate. sNeaking
nearly three hours. A consi lerable
portion of his speech was devoted to an
examination Of the recently suggested
danger to the Nicaragua canal route of
seismic disturbances. This danger, he
concluded. after a careful review OF
man. authorities, existed only in the
Imagination of those who desired to
defeat any canal project. Mr.. Morgan
reviewed at length the political con-
ditions in Colombia, finding in them a
grave to the United States in
the construction of a ana by the Pan
anna route. He presented also the pres
ent phases of the diplomatic negotia-
lions looking to the building of a canal
by both the Nicaragua route and by the
Panama route. He closed with a
strong appeal for the passage of the
Nicaragua bill.
In the House.
The debate on the anti-anarchy bill
continued all day in the house. 1t was
without sensational features, being
confined almost entirely to the legal
and constitutional phases of the Ques-
ton.
