STOCK Prices AFFECTED.

New York, Oct. i7.--Industriai secur-
ities have been severely handled during
the week. The reduction Of working
force on the railroads has led to infer
ences Of general retrenchment. with
special effect on the railroad equipment
companies. The United States Ship
building disclosures have caused disfa-
vor towards the whole class OF indus
trials and the poor markets for them
has led soIn. money lenders to sell them
out OF collateral for loans. Financial
necessities at Pittsburg. have increased
the pressure. Railroad stocks have
Jared better owing to statements Of
large earnings and the definite making
OF the crops. Bonds also have been in
somewhat better request.

NO GROUNDS FOR COMPROMISE.

Colorado Springs. Oct i7.-c C.
Hamlin, secretary OF the Cripple Greek
district mineowners and operators as
sociaiion. has given out an official state
ment in which he says:
"In View OF the stories which have
been going the rounds OF the press 70
the effect that negotiations are on be-
tween the Cripple Creek operators and
the Western Federation OF Miners for a
settlement OF the Cripple Creek strike
II may be proper TO reiterate the stand
taken at the outset Of this trouble con-
sIstently adhered to by the mineowners'
ana operators association.
There is no grounds for compromise
between US and he Western Federation
Of Miners. In The first place, the strike,
in so far as the working Of our mines
Is concerned. is over. We are filing our
mines as rapidly as we care to, and
have experienced no difficulty in secur-
Ing competent men.
THE Western Federation is not only
vicious In its principles. but criminal in
It's methods. The boycott and the sym
pathetic strike are among the least per-
nicIous OF the means adopted by It to
achieve It's ends. In addition to this,
resort IL had to the whole gamut of
ef..ae from threats anGsantimidations
TO deadly assaults and the destruction
Of property. II is un-American In its
princl 9les and menance to society"
The mineowners claim that 1861 men
are now working in the mines.
G. II. MacNiel. manager of the United
states Reduction and RefiningCompany
has refused 10 confer with President
Meyer OF the Western Federation Of
Miners regarding the strike.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
ON THE CUBAN BILL
Plan to Extend Time Is Thought
Unwise-MT. Bailey Yet to
Speak.

The Democratic Senatorial caucus at
'.ho Capitol yesterday considered a sug-
gested change in the plan Of action on
she Cuban bill, but did not adopt any
new measures in that connection
Senator German called the caucus to
order One change desired was TO Sc
cure an additional day for debate be-
fore taking the vote on the Cuban bill.
which is fixed for next Wednesday. This
vas due to the lack OF opportunity for
debate last Tuesday. when an adjourn
nient was taken on motion Of Mr.. Hale.
Not Well Understood
It was decided by several Senators
that they had not fully understood the
agreement relative to dividing the time
for debate on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Senator Bailey said he wished to make
a speech which might consume the
greater part of a days session. and had
postponed his remarks as long as pos
sible because OF a bad cold from which
he is now suffering. He had expected
20 speak Tuesday, he said. but, under
the unanimous consent agreement. now
thought he could not claim more than
one-half the time on Tuesday.
The caucus considered this point at
some length. but concluded it would not
be advisable to attempt to change the
unanimous consent agreement at this
late day. Senator Bailey said he would
! endeavOr 10 submit his remarks In the
Senate on Monday.
| Another matter talked over was
whether amendments should be offered
as party measures. This question was
not long discussed. for the general
opinion was against such movement
