EUROPEAN FINANCES.
Better Tone In Berlin-LondOn Specu-

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The upward movement
on the Stock Exchange gained i'm strength
and volume during the past week. almost
all the departments scoring rises. The pri-
vate public has evidently begun buying
again in some departments. The principal
causes for the rising tendency are the
abundance Of money. the large government
loan operations to be carried through in the
near future and in lesser degree the i'm
proved tone OF the iron market which last
week made further progress. The an
krupp works into joint stock company
scarcely affected the market, since ali the
shares Will remain in the possession of Ber-
tina krupp- The shares will not be listed
on the Bourse and IL is even expected the
transformation will be carried through
without the INTERPRETATION of any bank
Nevertheless Dresdener bank stock rose
on the banks personal relations with the
krupp firm. other bank stocks rose strong
~ on prospects of large earnings through
the forthcoming loans, and Disconto Ges-
chellschaft advanced through prospects of
a settlement of the Venezuelan claims in
which the bank Is heavily interested.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-Business on the Stock
Exchange last week was confined to pro
fessionai dealings. the public continuing to
show lack of confidence. Americans were
listless, though continuing to display firm
ness. A squirt in Canadians relieved the
monotony Crank Trunks and Canadian Pa
cifics advancing sharply. The proposed con-
ference of the United States Mexico and
China regarding the silver question had a
good effect on the price OF that metal.
and also on the market for Mexican rail-
ways. Some evidence was shown of a re-
turning confidence in South African mines.

Seventeen GondOlas, Carrying Over
One Thousand Tons, Shipped from
Camel City, Kentucky.
RAILROADS IN GOOD SHAPE
OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE NOW
ABLE TO HANDLE CONsIGNMENTS.
Forfeiture Contract Entered Into by
Prominent Firm with Railroads
Coal May Come Fast.

A double-header with seventeen gondolas
of coal reached Indianapolis this morning
at O'Clock from Camel City. Ky. with
nearly 1000 tons of camel coal. The big
train left Camel City Saturday night over
the Southern Railway for Louisville and
came to this city over the Big Four. 1t is
the first of a series of fast coal trains
that will assist in bringing relief to the
cities of Indiana suffering for lack of coal.
A. b. Meyer. of A. b. Meyer & Co., was
informed by telegraph yesterday that the
first train contained ten cars of camel
coal consigned to him. The other seven
cars are consigned to other dealers. Mr..
Meyer says the railroad company was spe-
cially interested in delivering the consign-
ment to him because twelve cars which
were consigned to him some time ago were
''lost"-that is, confiscated by the COM
pany for its own uses. Mr.. Meyer said
he was informed also that twenty cars of
Pittsburg coal consigned to him had been
shipped from Cincinnati 1t has been al
most impossible for months to get any
large consignment of coal from the Ken
lucky or West Virginia rields because of
the scarcity of cars. Those that did get
through took three weeks to run the gaunt-
let of confiscatiOn in reaching here.
A CLEAN OF HOPE.
Mr.. Meyer says there is hope in the an
nouncement of fast coal train service to
Indianapolis and central Indiana. He says
he will have to see more trains than the
one which arrived this morning before ne
will believe there will be any appreciable
relief for the local consumers. Consider
ing the needs of Indianapolis and other
Indiana cities a thousand tons is but a
fraction of what should be sent but If
the railroad companies, which, he says
have been wholly to blame for the short
age, keep UP the fast freight service. there
will soon come season of comparative
ease. He says there is nothing now In
view to justify a belief that prices will de-
cline.
An Associated Press dispatch says that
Stone. Brown & Co. have entered into
forfeiture contract with the railroads fol
the fast delivery of coal consigned to their
Indiana patrons and that the coal will bt
handled rapidly by the roads fast as
the cars can be loaded. The run from
Camel City to Indianapolis in thirty hours
is a remarkable one for a coal train. II
may not be duplicated. but the local deal
ers hope IL will. The railroads assert their
future ability to supply sufficient cars and
the presence of sufficient motive power to
prevent a recurrence of the extreme suf-
fering which has marked the past forty
five days.

MAKES NO CONFIDANTs.
Quay Is NOncOmmittaI Regarding His
Statehood Bill Plans.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-The omnibus
statehood bill will continue for the present
to hold its place as the unfinished business
on the Senate calendar, but IL seems quite
probable that the discussion of the state
hood ILL will come UP in connection with
the appropriation bills. Senator Quay has
entirely changed his tactics during the
past week. and. after trying in vain to
secure a quorum for night sessions on two
different occasions. has abandoned all ef-
forts in the direction, leaving the senators
who oppose the statehood bill TO take the
responsibility for delay. He now apparent
ly is the least concerned of all senators to
secure late sessions. he makes no conf
dants. but it is evident that it is his pur-
pose to make his fight in connection with
the appropriation bills and TO secure prom
ises to vote for a statehood rider to one Of
the appropriation bills.
Thus far there has not been delay on any
supply measure on account of the state.
hood debate. but there will be a decided
effort to attach the statehood amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill. Ii
is expected that the amendment will be
ruled out on point of order, in which
event there will be an appeal from the
decision of the chair. 1t is quite possible,
however, that the question may be SUBJ
mitted to the Senate without ruling by
the chair. This plan has been pursued in
other cases and has been found to work
satisfactorily. The supporters of the om-
nibus statehood bill intend to seek to add
the statehood bill TO more than one of the
appropriation bills.
Senator Cullom will attempt to secure
consideration of the Cuban treaty, but un-
til the statehood bill shall be disposed of
all speculation to what may be done
with other questions is idle.

CERNING A RECENT INCIDENT.
No Disrespect Intended In the Matter
of the Presidents Connection with

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Replying to the re-
cent letter of the Presidents secretary,
George b. Cortelyou, requesting that pub
lie announcement be made that the Presi-
dent of the United States and his Cabinet

ton of the Red Cross, providing for a
board of consultation consisting of the
President and his Cabinet and certain high
officers of the army, Miss Barton points
out that this provision was fully indorsed
by President Arthur and his entire Cabinet,
and accepted by succeeding administra-
tions. Continuing, she writes:
Il recite these facts TO you. Mr.. President,
as an earnest that neither was usurpation
practiced nor discourtesy intended in the
late needed changes of the article of the
constitution.
Thus. Mr.. President. if in the continuing
OF your honored name and that of your
Cabinet in our administration of the Red
Cross, / have committed an error so grave
as to merit reprimand and be required TO

and willing conformity with and obedience
to the commands by the publction OF your
honored letter and such replies as / have
been able to make, in order that no misun-
derstanding of your relations can possibly
occur"
The letter concludes thus: Trusting tina,

you desire from the organization which
have so long conducted. have the honor to
subscribe myself. your obedient country

Two Cruisers from Argentina and
Two BattIeships from Chile.

WASHINGTON, Feb. both Argentina
and Chile. through their respective minis
ters in Washington, have proposed to the
United States the purchase by this govern
ment of the armored cruisers and battle
ships the two South American countries
have under construction in Europe. BY a
treaty signed several months ago Argentina
and Chile each agreed not to increase its
naval strength and to limited extent to
adopt a disarmament policy.
AT the time the treaty was eonsummated.
several months ago, Argentina had two
armored cruisers under construction in
Italy and Chile two battleships under con-
struction in England. The cruisers to
be OF 5000 tons each and to have a speed
of twenty-one knots. The battleships are 10
be of 1900 tons displacement and twenty
one knots speed. Under the terms of the
treaty both countries have to cease this
construction and they accordingly desire to
sell them.

rates they will pay $3.50 TO $40. The paper
points out that all Germanys leading ex-
