ONE STRIKE AvERTED.
Grievance of N. Y., N. H. & Fl. Train
 Nearly Settled.

Nearly Settled.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn, March S1.- After a conference which lasted until late last evening the grievance con- mittee of the trainmen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road and the committee of the direct ors who have been considering changes in the schedule adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. In behalf of the men Valentine Fitzpatrick, the representative of the Trainmen's Ma tional Brotherhood, who took part in the conference, gave out the informa- ton that an understanding had been reached on many points, but that the question of wages still remains unset tied. He expressed hope that this im- portant matter might be adjusted at the meeting tomorrow.
 No statement was issued by the road officials, President Hall declaring that there was nothing to be said at the present stage of the proceedings.
 MT. Fitzpatrick's statement contains the following:
 Ut is probable that the company will concede to the men in the freight serv- ice ten hour day. The men in the passenger service will be graded &C., cording to mileage, and we think the company will concede a certain num- Der of hours to constitute days work. The conference throughout was very pleasant, and every disposition to be fair was shown on both sides. The men at the Harlem river yards sent two men here to find out what the delay was about. The company and we, too, are anxious to have them know the exact situation. We wish to tell them that all is being done in their interests that can be done, and personally wish to assure them that they will soon be working under better conditions than ever before. The disparity between their wages for eight hours and the wages paid to men on the Jersey side of the river for a few more hours has caused them discontent But it will not be long before they will be satisfacto- rily readjusted as to their hours and wages.
 with regard to the question of rules and regulations governing the work of the men, I can safely say that that matter has been settled up satisfacto- rily to the men. .
 ''The men ask as to wages in the re- adjusted demands made to the direct ors that freight trainmen receive 2 cents per mile and that fiagmen re- ceive 2 1-10 cents. With regard to the passenger men, they have been so graded that their hours of service will be in accordance with a miles run schedule and compensation given ac- cordingly.
 ''The committee comedies to the com pany the right to haul as many cars to a train as the law permits and to put as many men in the crews to operate those trains as the company finds nec- essary.'.ll h.

RUMoR OF ENGLISH CHALLENGE

But Harvard and Yale Know Nothing
 of Proposed Meet.
 London, March 31.-It is reported here Harvard-Yale and Oxford-Cam- bridge field meeting has been arranged for this summer.
 Cambridge, March 31.-The athletic managers at Harvard yesterday said they knew nothing of any arrangement having been made for a field meeting between Harvard and Yale and. Oxford and Cambridge. They said the first move toward arranging meeting with the English colleges must come from abroad, because last year Harvard and Yale took the initiative.
 New Haven, March 31.-Captain Thomas of the New Haven track ath- letic team denied any challenge for such a meeting had been submitted by either side.

lay ~on' on the Qdy UHS1t l. the umpires in the National league cities stalk down to the home plate, sweep the rubber, adjust their masks, toss a clean, new white ball to the pitcher who is to twirl the first bender and shout 'play ball."
 Eight teams begin the pennant sea son on that day, and only half of them can win. By nightfall, when the re- suits of the contests are known, a million or more fans-intense devo- tees of the national sport-will have figured out the chances of the teams. Small matter that one game, does not make a season any more than does one robin make spring. The fan is the most prejudiced person in the world. His wish is father to his thought, and if his particular team captures the first game, there, is no longer any use of playing out the schedule. So much for the fsS's loyalty. But let his team strike "toboggan" during the sea- son; let a favorite sticker fall in his batting average, and the tickleness of the fan becomes apparent. Ball play CTS realize that they are like actors they must please the public as we'll as the management or their baseball careers are brought to an untimeIy end.

Victory is as much a trib- ute to his care in raising the birds and their training as tits to the estock of the fowl. :, Chicago fanciers have not outlined their schedules for races for old birds, but they will be forthcoming soon. Some of the shorter races will be to Princeton, Il., and similar points, while later on flies to Emporia, Kan. will be given. Up in Milwaukee the homing club will begin May with a 20-mile race. By the latter part of May the birds will be taking races to Ixonia, Sun Prairie, Mazomanie, etc. Stations in Iowa are scheduled for later races, especially to Calmar, Britt and Shell don. June IA there will be race of 500 miles to Scotland, s. D., and a week later the birds will go to Ainsworth, Neb., 600 miles. The climax of the racing schedule is saved for a race to Yellowstone park, more than HOO miles, and there will be entered for this some of the best birds in Wisconsin. June 30 is the date fixed for this event. "In all the world there is not any, thing like pigeon flying for pure anna teur sport" said F. S. Ward, one of the most prominent fanciers in the middle west.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The character of trading in the closing hour
OF yesterdays Stock Exchange business createu
an impression in many minds that a rally Of con-
siderable magnitude under way, but the
movement of values yesterday dispelled this
cheerful delusion While early prices showed
advances in most issues, final quotations ex-
hibited net losses in the greater number Of ac-
tive securities. with numerous instances Of de-
clines of one point and above. There was no
evidence Of support similar to that reported in
Thursdays market, and after the first hour
traders were disposed to work for lower figures,
doubtless on the theory that efforts would be
made at the present time TO bring about bull
speculation. Outside Of genuine investment
buying, commission houses had few orders for
the account Of the so-called public. 1t requires
time to create a public following in the stock
market, and after long period of declining
values it is especially difficult to convince the
ordinary trader that the market is purchase,
owing 10 his fear that prices will go lower,
despite the fact that they may already be below
the actual worth Of securities. It is. of course,
impossible to tell what the market viii do but
It is interesting to note that many houses which
a week ago demanded from 10 to 20 per cent
margin are now willing to handle accounts
a 10 per cent basis. This indicates confidence
that the situation is growing stronger. From
the investment point of view stocks are a safe
purchase at present prices. Canadian Pacific
stock was an active weak feature yesterday,
breaking four points to 11S and closing at 119%4,
selling coming from sources that stamped the
movement carefully arranged bear attack
The fact that the bear element was still in
harness affected sentiment adversely, and in
duced further liquidation.
According to the known movement Of money
in the week the local banks have lost over $780,
600 in cash holdings, the loss being due to a
falling off in receipts of currency from the in
terror and a large loss on Sub-Treasury ac-
count The fact that interior exchange on New
York has been declining from the premium that
has prevailed for so many weeks carrying with
it an increase in shipments Of money from New
York and a corresponding decrease in receipts,
is not surprising, and from now on an increased
demand on local resources for out of town ac-
count may be expected.
City banks are in good shape TO handle the
fall demand for money this year, while if as
sistance is necessary they will doubtless secure
aid from the federal Treasury Gold imports,

heavy enough to offset in part the interior drain.
