BOY WAS PERSUADED
TO LEAVE HIS HOME
Intercepted by Police and Handed
Over to Parent.

That Harry Beach, thirteen years old
and nearly six feet tall. is not en- route
to Columbus. Ohio. is not his fault, or
that of Rob Roy Harley. sixteen years
old. nephew of Mary Anderson. and son
OF the proprietor OF machine shops in
Columbus.
Young Harley. who says he is a
jockey, rides on pass, dresses
sporty" and spends money in a way
to make the youngsters In the neighbor-
hood where he has been visiting in vir-
ginie. about Ave miles above the Chain
Bridge, cape with wonder, left for his
home on 1850 train this morning. In
the neighborhood where he has been
visiting for the past month lives J. M.
Beach and his son Harry. A great
friendship sprang up between the two
lads, and Rob Roy began to point out to
the country boy the drudgery of his
present life. and the glorious posi-
bilities of a Career in the Ohio town.
I'll tell you what well do said
Rob Roy. You come go home with me.
I'll pay your fare-it's only SIS. and
then III give you a Job in the old mans
Shops
The glittering prospect was too much
for the country boy, and he agreed TO
meet Rob Roy at~the station,this morn
ing. He was there before Rob Roy ar
rived and was accosted by Detective
Harrison, who had been appraised by the
father that his boy would likely appear
at that time. Harry readily admitted
his identity, but said he had come to
tell Rob Roy that he would not ac-
company him. The father arrived a
short time after the lad had been taken
to Police Headquarters, and was disin-
clined to believe this explanation, for
the reason that the lad had left home
without announcing his departure, and
wearing his Sunday clothes" The
manner adopted toward the boy by the
father promised an interesting half hour
when the pair reached home.

THREATENS TO SUE
FOR RETURN OF MONEY
G. W. Ray Demands Restitution of De-
post With Building Inspector.

G. W. Ray, through his attorney. W.
D. Sullivan, has threatened 10 sue the
District for $65 and costs, unless that
amount IS returned TO him Immediately
through the ONCE OF the Building In
spector. Mr.. Ray asserts that he paid
that amount 10 the District to cover the
cost OF cleaning and repairing the side

Building Inspector declares that, as tho

A fresh attack was made upon United
States Realty preferred, but it recov-
cred a point. Virginia Carolina Chem
teal rallied from its early low point.
Consolidated Gas advanced 1 per cent;
General Electric. PA. and Tennessee
Coal and Iron, per cent Metropolitan
Street Railway advanced nearly points
and Metropolitan Securities g. The spec
ulation holds the Improvement very
well, and traders are inclined to bid up
stocks against the shorts. Government
bonds are unchanged. Railroad bonds

Noon-The stock market was under
sharp pressure during the first half
hour, but the pressure. came largely
from room traders, and little later
their covering demand was urgent In

have watched IL closely are Of the i'm
preston that it is quite manipulative.

RECOVERY OF TREE is
DOUBTED AT LEGATION

Inquiries at the Chinese legation this
morning failed TO elicit any corrobnra-
tion of the story from Boston that a
tree made of precious stones which was
stolen some years ago from China s
Forbidden City had been found in the
art museum at Boston.
II is claimed that this tree disap-
peared from the Forbidden City some
years before the Boxer troubles and
that its whereabouts has just been dis
covered.
The members of the Chinese legation
say they know nothing Of the matter ex-
cept what appears in the papers. and
apparently they attach little importance
to it

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, July S1.-The cotton mar
ket this morning opened active and
frmer. with August up TO 1885, and
later months I'D l to points. Shorts
furnished the demand for August. while
general buying appeared in the more
distant pos ;tions. partly as a result OF
complaints of too much rain in Texas.
To this was added a firm set of cables
before and after the start. which at
tracted more or less outside support.
Apart from Texas, the weather was gen
orally favorable. although subject to
some criticism on the score Of excessive
moisture. Delayed advices from The
ports made the estimates for arrivals
unreliable. After the call the bullish
temper of room traders was replaced by
disposition to take profits. under which
prices declined all around. Attention
was directed this morning 10 the IN
usual discrepancy between August.
which is practically a spot month, and
actual spot cotton-12O points. Some
August notices were issued this morn
ing.
At noon trade was very dull, yet the
market held steady on light covering
and some bull support in the far months.
The late cables were not factor either
way, and European orders were not Of
sufficient size to influence prices here.
The late Government weather bulletins
indicated quite general rains over the
belt. with lower temperatures. Some
private wires stated that the recent
rains had been very beneficial. Others
declared the rains were harmful and
would further put the crop in the grass.

The Wall Street situation Is rapidly
assuming a normal condition, and spec
ulators and investors are beginning to
discuss the outlook with intelligence
and cheerfulness. The failures OF a
week ago. the crash in values. and the
general decentralization in speculative
circles at that time undoubtedly marked
the end of Wall Streets long period OF
liquidation and falling values. A great
change has come over Wall Street senti-
ment in thu last few days. Instead of
the pessimistic predictions regarding
the Industrial situation in this coun-
try which were heard a few weeks ago
there is now a disposition TO look for
ward TO another year of expanding bust
ness, year of heavy exports and a
year of stability in all departments Of
trade and commerce.
According to shrewd observers the
market not only is no longer a bear
market; it is even more than a two
sided one. Left to itself it would i'm
prove-so the statement is, and for that
reason it can rightly be called an i'm
proving market. One thing clear is that
the bears are no longer having things
their own way. Bankers say that IL
the present investment absorption con-
tinues it will be an easy matter TO ad-
vance prices at the right time-which
will be when the crop situation is clear

the Russian demand may be inferred
from the floating in Paris of the Rus
