New York. Sept 49, A sensational
reaction occurred in the stock market
to-day at time when it had been ex-
pected the prolonged depression In secur-
titles would reach it's climax Strong sup
port by powerful interests was exerted
soon after the opening in the form of
extensive buying orders in weak spots
and this was Immediately followed by an
advance in the active list.
4 There was the strongest presumptive
evidence that bankers combination sup
ported prices as it did a week ago.
When the market was threatened with
decentralization bull rurnors began to cir
culate one being to the effect that the
Rockefellers had acquired control of the
Erie railroad Transactions during the
first hour were 325,000 shares; second
hour, about 100000 shares.

CONSOLS TOUCH 81.
Lowest Price Since 1866-London
Stock Market Is Very
Weak Also.

London, Sept. 29.-Consuls touched 81 at
noon to-day, the lowest point since 1866,
and then hardened somewhat. The whole
feeling on the stock exchange was one Of
extreme depression and nervousness. No
disposition was shown to support prices
and whenever stocks were offered the
quotation was imme diately lowered
against the seller.
Americans showed further decline, in
sympathy with yesterdays movement in
New York, the position of the United
States Steel issues being given as the
dominating influence.
The market afterwards improved the
recovery of consols inducing general bet
ter feeling.

MORGAN WANTS
A SHIP SUBSIDY
And He Will Make Another Effort
to Have Congress
Grant It.
The Agitation for the Measure Will
Be Revived at the Next
Session.
His Agents Already Are at Work Sc
curing and Compiling Valuable
Statistics.

New York Sun Special Service
washington, Sept 29.-FC,r more than
a. month past the agents OF ). Plerpohl
Morgan's ocean steamship trust nave peen
busily engaged In the government depart
ment securing data to be used IN an at
tempt to revive the ship subsidy bill at
the opening of the next congress- Inc
department. of commerce has been called
upon to secure all sorts Of statistics pear
ing upon the subsidy issue, and special
reports from consuls which We're ordered
two years ago at the special request OF the
subsidy crowd now are being edited ana
coMated for the purpose of submitting
them in pamphlet form early IN the next
session.
When Morgan organized his trust and
combined American and foreign shipping
interests, it was generally supposed that
such action would be favorable to the
prospect Of any subsidy measure, but the
bill was beaten. 1t Is now believed,
however, that owing to the comparative
financial failure Of the ocean steamship
trust Morgan and his assistants here
come to the conclusion that their only pos
sible way to make profit will be to Sc
cure the passage Of a subsidy bill by con-
gress.
Curious Statistics.
Arguments are being prepared to show
the extent to which European govern
ments have gone in substituting such COM
panies. All sorts of curious statistics
have been brought out by Morgan's
agents here, among which is a curious
argument to show that the lack of sub
sidy paid this side Of the water has
resulted in French ships securing the
practical monopoly Of carrying Amer1-
can oils.
The ship subsidy bill, as finally drafted,
specifically exempted tank ships from all
government payments, but Morgan
new campaign apparently is intended to
urge upon congress the payment Of a
subsidy for carrying the exclusive product
of the Standard Oil company as we'll os
the passenger steamers Of Griscom and
others of Morgans partners.
There Is not much Of the real danger of
the passage Of a subsidy bill at the next
session Of congress, 50 that the facts and
figures now being gathered by Morgan
agents are probably intended to pave the
way for the passage Of subsidy measure
at the first session following the presi-
Dental election. Until the election of
November 1904, Is out of the way, the re-
publican leaders in congress will scarcely
listen to any proposition to pass a subsidy
bill. i

FATHER ATTACKS
HER MARRIAGE
Claus spreckles Takes Queer Step
Against His Daughter in
100000 Suit.

:. ~ D
Honolulu, Sept. 29.-The attorneys for
Claus Spreckels assert that the marriage
Of Mrs. Thomas Watson daughter of Mr..
Spreckels) to Mr.. Watson is void. Mrs.
Watson, now Of England, Is suing her
father for the recovery of a block of Hon
olulu property, valued at 100000, which
she conveyed to him soon after her mar
riage in 1894. The marriage led to an
estrangement between daughter and par
ents, and Mrs. Watson returned the prop
erty. which had previously been presented
to her by her father.
The present suit is based on the fact
that Mrs. Watson's deed of conveyance
did not bear her husbands signature. Mr..
Spreckels' attorneys allege that Mr.. Wat
son had been previously married In 1869
and that the divorce which he secured In
Utah in 1876 was Illegal and that conse-
quently his second marriage is void.

Next-an investigation OF aldermanic
corruption!
One investigation, running thru several
grand juries, has resulted in a cleaning
out Of police rottenness.
Now the grand jury is believed to have
secured leads and definite information
which will let the light in on every
crooked deal put thru the city council in
the last five years.
To-day, when the grand jury resumed
its work after a weeks adjournment, one
OF the first witnesses summoned to the
star chamber was DR.. 0. p. Sutherland,
who retired last January as alderman
from the thirteenth ward. He was taken
in thru a side door by Fore
man G.. A. Quist and was evidently
there on serious business, for he was long
in the juryroom. That he had something
of the most startling nature to disclose
was apparent from evident precautions
to segregate witnesses and from the ex-
cited conversation Of grand jurors as they
wendell their way up town after adjourn
ment.
Corporate Concessions, Probably.
Naturally the exact nature of the dis
closures by DR.. Sutherland will remain
secret until indictments reach the court
The council to which he belonged, how
ever, had as the most important business
in its term several concessions to railroad
and other corporations. If DR.. suther-
lands testimony has to do with any Of
these transactions, there is likely to be
