 Another factor in the early firmness was priyate reports of frosts along the north ern Texas line. and antieipatlons that the into-sight for the week would fall pe- low early estimates. On the other hand' port receipts for the day bid fair to prove heavy and the recent advances naturally attracted more or less realizing, so that soon after the call the advancing tenden- cv was checked. The market continued fairly steady for a time, then rumof was circulated that war was to be deciar- ed between Japan and Russia. This led to sharp break which carried prices down about 8 to 15 points from the pest of the morning. The report seemed 10 have little definite basis, however, ana while the estimated receipts for the lead

 New York october 23.-Reviewing the market today and considering all the adverse developments and the action of the list during the early and late trad ing. the observer is forced to the conclu- sion that liquidation of an urgent char acter especially in the railroad list has about cuminated. A strong undertone prevailed in the railroad department There was renewed heavy buying of bonds and the steady absorption of these latter securities is doing much to remedy the evils of the general situation for the un- dgested securities can more easily be ah- sorbed, especially by those syndicates which were tied up in good bond under writings they can now realize. The out look for tomorrow favors an irregular market There should be realizing on ac- count of unfavorable bank statement. Total sales, 3SS,9 300.

THREE REPORTS
On Reciprocity Treaty Made tc
the Cuban Senate.
Two Minority Reports Rejected and
Majority to Be Discussed, Today.
1t Recommends Acceptance Of United
States Amendments.

Havana. March 27.-Three separate
reports on the reciprocity treaty with
the United States were presented to
the Senate. this afternoon, by the for
eisn relations committee. One signed
by the chairman, Senior Bustamente,
the President of the Senate, Senior
Capote and by Senator DOLE recom-
mended the approval of all the amend
ments adopted by the United States
Senate. Senator Sayas presented re-
port against the ratification, on account
of the action of the United States Sem
ate in combining the 20 per cent. reduc-
ton in the duty on Cuban sugar to the
basis of the tariff rates in the law CT
1897. Senior Tamayo submitted the
third and adverse report upon all the
amendments.
Roth the minority reports were re-
jected by the Senate. The majority
report will be discussed, tomorrow, and
it is expected that it will be approved
by a small majority. Its provision re-
quiping the adoption of the treaty by
the United States Congress before Dec.
l, however, is generally believed to be
fatal to the treaty since the accept
ance by the United States Senate of
this provision is impossible.
1t is barely possible that the trio of
senators may make an amended re-
port tomorrow.
Senator Tamayo's report was the first
to be taken up by the Senate. He
argued that the amendments were all
unfair and prejudicial to Cuban pro-
ducts. Senior Mouia, replying, contend
ed that Senator Tamayo had failed to
show that the amendments did not pro-
tect Cuban sugar and consequently it
was the duty of the senators to stand
by the treaty.
Senior Dolz said that Cuba, in a way,
From the appearances the reciprocity
treaty had become a political question
between President Roosevelt and the
opponents of his reelection. In such
contest, added the speaker, Cuba
should ally herself with her good and
generous friend against the trusts and
his other enemies.
Senior Sanguily made a satirical
speech, paying his respects to President
Roosevelt. but opposing the treaty in.
it's entirety as being contrary to the
interests. independence and dignity of
Cuban. Senior Tamayo's report was
then rejected by 10 votes to Z.
Senior Zayas urged the adoption of
his report on the ground that the pro-
lection afforded to Cuban sugar under
the amended treaty was uncertain and
ineffective.
Advices have been received here from
the Cuban minister at Washington,
Senior Qesada, to the effect that the
condition which the majority report of
the foreign relations committee recon-
mends should be attached, to the re-
ciprooity treaty Chat its ratification by
the United States Congress must be
completed by Dec. y will certainly
nuiiify the treaty.

THE SLIGHTEST CHANGE
Win Kill the Treaty, Sec. Hay Warns
the Cubans.

Washington, March 27-Secretary
Hay has sent warning to Cuba that
the slightest amendment OF the Cuban
reciprocity treaty by the Cuban Con-
gress even that which proposes to
make it's ratification conditional on the
treaty going into effect during the cur
rent calendar year, certainly would de-
feat the convention itself, since any
amendment must be submitted TO the
United States Senate and before that
can be done the date fixed for the final
exchange of notifications, March 81, will
have been passed. Mr.. Squires, the
United States Minister at Havana, has
transmitted this note to the Cuban
foreign minister and he is hopeful that
it will be sufficient to curb the desire
to amend the treaty. 1t is fully real
lied here that foreign influences in Ha-
vana which would be affected injuri-
ously by the treaty are working upon
Cuban pride to defeat the ratification
by attaching amendments to the
treaty. This was fully expected and is
regarded as within the legitimate du-
ties of diplomatic representatives in
such cases. but it is believed that the
effort will prove unsuccessful.

THE CABINET MEETING.
The Last Before the President Leaves
on Western Trip.

Washington. March 27.-All the
members of the cabinet. except Secre-
tary Moody and Postmaster General
Payne, were at the cabinet meeting, to-
day No action of importance was de-
cided upon.
This was the last meeting but one
before the Presidents departure on his
Western tour, and the trip itself and
the speeches the President will make
were the subject of discussion.
Secretary Hay expressed the belief
that the Cuban Senate would ratify
the reciprocity treaty without amend
ment. Secretary Shaw who has beer
absent from the city for "a fortnight
talked over some matters relating tt
his department, including some con-
templated changes in the department.
1t is probable that the President will
appoint the assistant secretary of COM
merce and labor before he leaves fol
| the West, next Wednesday.

Irishmen whose feelings had been out
ragged by the performance of the tray
esty "McFaddens Row of Flats" at the
new Star theatre, rose in their seats in
the theatre ut a signal, tonight, and
pelted the performers with rotten eggs,
decayed vegetables and fruit The au-
dience of over 1900 was thrown into an
uproar and the actors We're driven from
the stage.
The affair was the elimination of a
series of attempts to bring the per-
Torrance of plays that caricature the
Irish, to an end.
Not for years has play been rotten
erSed in New York city. The asser-
ton was made, tonight, that the Allied
Irish Societies determined to rout the
actors burlesquing Irish character and
arranged the star theatre disturbance.
Five Of the disturbers were arrested.
They We're followed to the police sta
ton by a hundred sympathizers.
