GUS in Dealings-LiquidatiOn
Seems Absent.

New York. Oct. Stocks recovered
vigorously again to-day. the last price
showing advances OF to points for the
principal active stocks The dealings were
highly professional, and the movement
1 was not free from suspicion OF manipu-
ladon, hut the effect seemed TO be, for
some reason, more cheering upon sentt-
ment than the rather forcible lifting Of
prices on Tuesday. There may have been
some buying for support in to-day's mar
ket also. but the great banking inter-
ests were not SO conspicuous in the deal
ings. On the other hand, an ovsrextended
short interest was a very important fac
tor in lifting prices. The opening din IN
Pennsylvania and in New York Central
was attributed to bearish manipulation
Louisville seemed to suffer from the
liquidation Of an account. and pressure
upon that stock resppeared from time TO
time during the day. While the demand
Tor Stocks seemed TO come largely from
the short interest, as indicated By the
large borrowing demand in the loan crowd
last nl2nt. the rising level Of prices
brought no sign OF the liquidation which

long time past.
SENTIMENT INFLUENCED.
1t was this fact that had the most de-
clslFe iIlhuence upon sentiment, notwith-
standing the recognition OF the fact that
a very small outside demand was repre-
sented IN the days dealings. These
reached about the same Aggregate as those
or yesterday. London helped somewhat to-
ward the advance. the turn of the month
there having relaxed the money market
considerably and led TO some investment
buying OF consols, which had a qood re-
coveTy. The Bank of England statement
did not make strong showing hut the
fact that the hank rate was moi ad-
vanced and the absence Of failures which
were feared caused a cheerful sentiment
A notable feature OF the day was the
violent break OF about 80 points in demand
sterling here under pressure OF very large
offerings Of commercial bills and dearth
OF demand. Large wheat clearances were
reported for the day. and the completion
of the cotton corner led to considerable
comuission-h house buying in that market
The establishment OF normal conditions IN
the cotton market is expected to have very
important results In the outward move
ment OF that staple. and this led TO very
free offerings Of cotton bills in the ex-
change market The early demand for
stocks was especially noticeable smongs;
the coalers. which were helped by the

SENTENCE TOO LIGHT
EVANS CRITIcIsHs MEMBERS OF
 CoURTMARTIAL.
Officers, He Says, Have Proved Their Jnworthiness to Act as Mem bers of a Court-Case of
 Nicholson.

Washington, Sept. 21-The complete record of the court martial case of As sistant Paymaster Rishworth Nicholson on the Asiatic station received at the Navy Department to-day, contains ee- were criticism by Rear Admiral Evans of the members of the court which tried Nicholson because of the inadequacy of the punishment inflicted by the court.
 It was alleged that. while on shore at Chee Foo, China. Nicholson became in- toxicated and assaulted an elderly civil ian. The sentence of the court was that Nicholson be reduced five numbers in his grade.
 Read Admiral Evans, in reviewing the case, says the evidence was of such a character that the sentence should have been nothing less than dismissal from the navy. Three officers of the court rec commended clemency.
 These three officers" says Admiral Evans, have proven to the converting authority and to the fleet their unworthi- ness hereafter to act as members of a court.
 Tt is sufficient to make their brother officers blush with shame, to realize that there exists among the command officers of the navy at least four-for that was the smallest number required by law to have arrived at the findings and sentence in this case-who have so little interest in maintaining the honor, dignity and discipline of the service and so small an idea of the binding quality of the oath which they took as members of Sle court"
 The admiral disapproved the sentence as totally inadequate and insufficient and in order that 1t shall not serve as a pre- cedent in future instances.
 Nicholson is a native of California,

SELECTIONS
 OF BALFOUR SelbOrne as Colonial
 : ,cretary. ANNo.::' CEMENT NOT MADE
LU : Ailner First Was Offer
 ed the Portfolio.
Rumored That Austin Chamberlain Will Succeed Ritchie, and That MT. Arnold Forster Will Be-
 come Member of Cabinet.

London. Sept. liking Edward Is re- ported to have approved the appointment or Austin Chamberlain. to be Chancellor or the Exchequer in succession to Charles Ritchie; MT. Arnold Forster to be Secre- tary for War in succession to Mr. Brod- erick; Mir. Frederick, the Secretary for War, to be Secretary for India In suc- cession to Lord George Hamilton, and Lord Selborne. the first Lord of the Ad- nhralty. to be Secretary for the Colonies, in succession to Joseph Chamberlain.
 No official confirmation of the appoint ment has yet been forthcoming.
 It is known that Lord Milner, the Brit ish High Commissioner of South Africa, was offered the Colonial Secretaryship
 Premier Balfour's Private Secretary in- formed the AssociaNd Press later that the reported Cabinet apHointments had not yet been made, adding that Mir. Bal four hardly expected to be in a position to give out the list of new ministers this afternoon. Apparently Lord Milner Is still considering the offer of Colonial Secre- taryship and thereto is subsequently due the delay. Well informed persons express the opinion that Lord Selborne will re- main at the Admiralty to carry out the reforms he has inaugurated

PRESS IS PERTURBED
VENEZUELAN PAPERS ATTACK
 THE UMPIRES.
Bitter Assaults on the Mexican Com missioners Said to Have Been Influenced by Presi-
 dent Castro.

Wihemstad, gept 2i.--Flse steamer Mar acaibo has just arrived here from Vene- zuela with number of foreign notabii- tiles on board. They report that the Car acas press is still flercely attacking the foreign and mixed tribunals and the for eign umpires. Yesterday 1t was Belgium today it is Mexico.
 Obeying. k is said, President Castro's orders. the paper, having learned that Senor Otero, who umpires the Mexican claims; Senor Duret. the Commissioner and Senor Guzman, the agent, all of the Mexican tribunal, and all leading figures in Mexican society, would, on the occa- sion of the Mexican independence day, give dinner and a ball to friends in l house beloging to a citizen of the United States, printed virulent articles threat ening to publish the names of sixteen leaders of Caracas society, who had ac- cepted invitations to be present, as "antl- patriots" and as guilty "of an act of lese patrioto" in going to a ball given by foreigners. dancing to claim money from Venezuela"
 to the members of the Mexican Commls- sion and popular demonstration against the commissioners has been pre- meditated, the Mexican Commission with drew the invitations to the ball so as not to cause conflict
 some loed or the tone Of the press against foreigners can be gathered from the following. Fl Combate, of Caracas, after criticizing al the umpires said:
 Yes, let them take our gold, but let them not celebrate at a social gathering the consummation of their infamy
 Let them load themselves with our country's money. but let them not feast with US an apothesis of extortion.
 Let them. with impious hand, rifle our treasury, but let them not take the smiles of our women and the friendly words of our daughters.
 Let them dizzy themselves with the chink of our coin. but let not our vo- luptuous waltzes and native music re- echo in their ears.
 Let them drink champagne and drown in the foam of liquor, but let them not clink their cups with those O. the victims whom they have come to sacrifice"
 It is remarked in Caracas that Fl Ma classed as the organ of Gen eral Fernandez. the Venezuelan Minister at Washington. Is the most bitter of all the papers in the attacks on the umpires and on foreigners.
 The umpires have not yet been paid by Venezuela.
