BULLS DISCOURAGED.
Threatening Conditions Surround New

opecidi DlSpa1cn Inc Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September s-The banks
are persistently discouraging any bull move
ment In stocks, owing to the threatening
conditions surrounding the money market
1t is understood that the British govern
ment intends to mako heavy drafts on the
supply of gold in the Bank OF England for
army and colonial expenditures, and that
the bank will soon make another increase
in the rate of discount to 8 per cent. Such
action will protect the gold In the bank from
further outside demands and have a ten
dency to shift them to Paris
Quick turns are looked for In the New
York stock market, with a gradual upward
movement. The Industrial reaction pre-
dicted seems slow in coming and II NAV
not come at ALL At least, extensive failures
are not probable. There seems to be no
doubt that trade generally will decrease
somewhat in the presidential year, yet
standard railway securities are expected to
hold their own on increasing foreign de-
mand, which, 1t is said. is bound to come on
account OF the prevailing low prices
Trust companies arc now doing q largo

securities for speculative purposes, and a
strong demand has arisen for a weekly
statement from these companies in add

SISTERS OF THE POPE.
Interested in Strange Sights Of the
Eternal City.

Interested in Strange Sights Of the
Eternal City.
ROME, September S-The three sisters of
Pope Plus x, who lived with him in Venice
and who arrived here yesterday, have not
found in Rome quite what they expected.
Not that they had any formulated desires.
but the sisters thought they could not fail
to be certain of resumfng their intimate
relations with the pontiff. while to their
unaccustomed eyes. all Is Formally. They
shrunk from the curious glances cast at
them this morning when they went all over
Rome. The sisters. however, could see no
beauty In the ruins. having scarcely heard
of them. What they liked best were the
electric street cars and the new wide
streets, so different from the narrow lanes
of Venice.
In the convent where the pope's sisters
are stopping they are treated with great
respect and attention, having their meals
served In their own dining room and not
being allowed to do anything for them
selves.
Speaking of the Vatican, one Of the SIS
tiers said:
How big 1t Is. Beppi should not feel he
Is prisoner. But how he can be bothered
with all these soldiers and officials we can
not see."
The permanent apartment, near the San
Angelo bridge, selected for the sisters.
which Is of the most simple appearance
will be ready shortly.

MILK QUESTION.
What Storm q Sherwood Say About
Charge Against Them.

The case OF Storm & Sherwood. charged
with selling milk under the standard as set
UP by the pure food law. to the Industrial
Home School was continued today in the
Police Court at the request of the prose-
cutting officer. Mr.. -Pugh. for the reason that
Mr. Hird the District chemist. was absent
on his vacation.
Storm & Sherwood said today in regard
to the case: I'VE have been doing business
in this city for the past twenty-three years.
and have earned a reputation for honesty
actions.
THE case in point is selling milk to the
Industrial Home School. which, according
to Professor Hird's analysis. Is one-half a
point below the standard in fat, and one
and half points above the standard in
water. There Is no charge of adulteration
OF any description: simply that the milk
sold was under the standard fixed by the
law. and which, we assert most positively,
Is the result of the natural deterioration
caused by the wet season. 1t Is absolutely
impossible, at all times in the season, to
get milk direct from cows on the best dairy
farms that will come up to the standard
fixed by the law OF the District of Column
bia.
AN examination Of the pure food law
nxed In all Of the states Of the United
District of Columbia is higher than all of
the other standards put together. with one
exception. the state of Massachusetts,.
which is the same standard as that of the
District Of Columbia, but only for three
months In the year. The balance of the
time the standard Is on a par with the other
states and considerably below the stand
ard in the District of Columbia. :
I'VE further assert that the milk which
was sold on the occasion complained of to
the Industrial home School was purchased
from J. s. Magarity and shipped direct to
our dairy, and without the slightest change
whatever delivered to the Industrial Home
School. Mr.. ]. S. Magarity owns one Of the
Vile. and 1t has reputation among dairy
inspectors for being one Of the best equip
ped farms of Its kind in the vicinity; and
this Information was in fact given to US by
Inspector Turner of the health department,
and on the strength of LIS recommendation.
and knowing Mr.. Magarity to be reliable
and trustworthy gentleman. we purchased
our supplies from him as far as possible
and had every reason to believe that this
milk was up to the STANDARD.

CHIEF AND ASSISTANT ILL.
ASSESSORS Ofice at District Building is
Handicapped at Present.

The assessors Office at the District build
ing Is just now unhappily handicapped by
the illness Of Its chief and his first assist
ant. Mr.. T. Frederick Alvey. first assistant
inspector, Is a patient at Providence Hos
pital. suffering from a severe attack Of ty-
phoid fever. Mr.. Alvey went to Atlantic
City few days ago. He complained OF
feeling bad before he left Washington.
but thought it was simply a matter of over
work and that a little rest and sea air
would brace him up. Once at the resort,
however, he had to summon a physician.
The doctor advised Mr.. Alvey to take to his
bed at once, but the latter declared he was
needed at the District building, and so came
back against all protests. He had been
home but few hours when It became nee
essary to send him to the hospital.
Mr.. Hopewell H. Darneille the assessor,
1t will be remembered. fell down the steps
at the cottage where his family Is spending
the summer at Atlantic City and broke his
leg. He will be unable to get out for some
time to come. Visitors to the city by the
sea bring reports today that Mr.. Darneille
IS slowly improving. His confinement will
be a tedious one.
In the meantime Mr.. e. w. Griffen. chair
man of the board of assistant assessors, Is
acting head of the assessors Office.

AWAITED WITH INTEREST.
Hearing in Montreal In Cases Of Six

Hearing in Montreal In Cases Of Six
teen Cinnamon.
The bureau Of immigration Is awaiting
with interest the result of hearing set for
next Wednesday in Montreal in connection
with sixteen Cinnamon who were in transit
through Canada to Vancouver In custody
Of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company,
and who were released from such custody
on writs Of habeas corpus.
The case Is brought to test the validity
of an ag1 cement between the United States
and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company
in Canada. whereby all Chinese destined to
the United States are brought in bond from
Vancouver and turned over to United States
officers at the ports of Richford, VT. and
Malone, N. Y.
The agreement provides for the deporta-
ton by the railway company Of all Chinese
denied admission to the United States. The
sixteen Cinnamon being now out of the
custody of the railway company, 1t is feared
that some of them will be smuggled into
this country.
