DAILY MARKET LETTER.

Wall Street, New York. April g.
STOCKS opened strong, and for time
ii seemed as If the long looked for
bull movement had begun, for prices
advanced sharply, and continued to
do so, until the announcement was
made that the Northern security case
had been decided in favor of the gov.
ernment this caused heavy selling, and
consequently prices broke badly. some
issues selling off two to three dollars
per share. Had this decision gone the
other way We believe prices would
have had good advance, for stocks
were scarce and general conditions are
improving. Gall money was bid ND
to 10 per cent near the close, this also
had depressing effect on the market,
trading was light, sales to noon being
2s7,700. II is hard to forecast what
the market will do next Monday, ow.
ing to the holidays, but at the present
prices we believe stocks should be
bought.

Kentucky Hospitality viii be
Shown the Arkansas Officers
Nothing Definite Yet Decided on,
Owing to Uncertainty
of Time.
COMMANDER WIRES MAYOR

The visit of the monitor Arkansas
to Paducah can now be considered q
certainty. Last night at O'Clock, ev-
identity in reply to the telegram Of for
mer Congressman Charles X. Wheeler,
Mayor Yeiser received from Comman-
der Vreeland, of the Arkansas, the
following:
Monitor Arkansas probably arrive
at Psducah 10. Exact information
later"
Signed; Vreelsnd, Commander.
As yet no definite preparations have
been made for the entertainment Of
the commander and officers, owing TO
the uncertainty Of the time Of arrival
and length of its stay.
President L. S. Dubois, Of the Com
mercial club, said this morning that
he did not know what entertainment
would be afforded the officers of the
vessel, but that he felt sure that they
would be we'll taken care of, and &C
corded true Kentucky welcome and
pleny of Kentucky hospitality.
He does not deem an elaborate ban
quet or anything of the kind necessa-
~. and nothing can be done towards
announcing a definite program until
the time of arrival and length of the
visit Is learned. There will doubtless
be a reception, attended by the city
officials, with a spread and refresh
ments, with speakers for the occaSion.
The city officials will corporate
with the Commercial club and see that
the commander and officers under hi m
have cause to remember Paducah hos
pitality. Later on more definite an
nouncement of the plans for entertain
ment will be made.
Captain George Clark, of the city,
will go to Hickman to pilot the vessel
to Paducah, having been notified to
come and take the Job. The intention
is to go from here to Evansville.
The Arkansas carries a complement
of thirteen officers ard 100 men. Her
displacement is 5000 tons. She has q
twin screw propeller and her engines
are 1900 horse power. For the first
time in history the people of Paducah
will have an opportunity to see what
the great guns Of the naval powers are
lice.
While the Arkansas is not a first
class battleship she carries guns equal
ly as powerful as any modern first
class battleship ahoat.
Her armament consists of two 12-
inch rifles, four 4.inch rifles, three G.
Founders, number of one-pounders
and Colt machine guns.
A few vessels in our navy, such as
the Indiana and one or two vessels Of
the British navy, carry guns larger.
being 13 inches in diameter. But the
conoensus of opinion, among experts,
is that the 10 inch rife is equally
as powerful as the 19-inch gun if
not more effective.
Thus il may be said with truth that
the Arkansas carries the strongest
guns afioat.
The Arkansas was built at Newport
News, Va, and was commissioned for
the service in October, 1902,
She was designed by the bureau of
construction Of the navy department.

Broadway to be a Blaze of
Electricity.
Carnival Committee Decides on Illu-
mination-Two Extra Bands
to Be Secured.
LIBERAL DONATIONS MADE

The business portion of Paducah will
be blaze of electricity during the
evenings of carnival week. The car
nival executive committee has decided
to have a string of lights from First
to Fifth on both sides OF Broadway,
and from Court to Harrison on Fourth
street. Fully 1000 incandescent lights
will be used for the illumination, and
the committee is now negotiating with
the street car company and Foreman
Brothers for the display. II will make
the carnival section almost as light as
day, and will be great thing for the
merchants.
The music committee has decided
to have two bands of its own, instead
of one. Deans band will be one OF
them, and smother band OF fifteen or
twenty pieces will be engaged from
some other city for the week.
The Ferari Brothers company carry
two bands of their own, which will
make four in all. Open air concerts
will be given on every corner might
and day, in order that the crowds may
be drawn to every section of the carni
val attractions.
Director General Lagomarsino has
received word from Promoter Hellai
that no will arrive Monday from St
Louis to begin active preparations fol
the carnival. Everything is now beinl
placed in readiness at st. Louis, ant
the shows are being gotten in shape
and the people rehearsing for the sea
SOD. The Paducah carnival begins ,
month from Saturday. There will
not be as much preliminary work fol
the promoter this year as heretofore,
as there will be no enclosure to locat,
and build.
The country store promises to IL
one of the best carnival attractions,
The donations are liberal from every
quarter and have not yet begun tC
come in well. The capital prize will
be a fine luggy secured through Mi
chsel Bros, which will be given tc
the person holding the lucky number,
numbers on it to be given every day,
the lucky one to be drawn from a hat
at 1 p. IN. on the last day OF the car
nival.
The members of the soliciting com
mittee are gratitied at the liberality Of
the donations. The merchants and
manufacturers seem to realize that
they will be greatly benefited, as the
money donated will all be spent fol
advertising the carnival and city, and
bringing the people here.

| Sofia, Sept. 3.-The Macedonian
revolutionists awaited the anniversary
of the sultan's accession to proclaim
their long anticipated general insur
rection in northern Macedonia, the
proclamation CT which has been issued
and signed by all members Of the in.
surgent general staff. The new out
break is headed by the famous Mace
DOMAIN leaders, General Zentchieff,
president of the Macedonian commit
tee, and Colonel Jankoff, who was
wounded in the rising of 1902.
The new territory covers the dis
tricts in the valley of the Struma, at
the base of the Rhodope mountain
chain and to the north of the river
Vardar. Colonel Jankoff is directing
the movements of the bands in the
southern part.
News of severe fighting is still COM
ing in. At the village of Armensi,
after a days fighting, the Turkish
troops in the nighttime massacred the
entire population of $50 men and 200
women.
The Turks have also massacred the
inhabitants of the village of Veteso.
1t is rumored that Helmi Pasha,
the inspector for Macedonia, refuses
to leave his headquarters in the konak
at Monastir. The insurgent leader,
Grueff, in letter to Heinz Pasha,
demanded that he prevent the barbar-
GUS acts Of the Turkish soldiers and
Bashi bazouks, otherwise the revolu-
tionists would massacre all the Turk
ish inhabitants. The insurgents have
occupied the mountain pass Of Ger
gele, on the main line from Salonica
to Uskub, and Turkish troops have
been sent to dislodge them.
The town of Malkotirnovo is re-
ported to be in a state of anarchy,
the Turks plundering the houses and
