those of yesterday. But the acute weakness with which the market closed yesterday was totally dissipated. The lack of explanation for that weakness was a cause of some disquiet and had a discouraging effect on large specula- tive commitments. There was no con- siderable recovery in prices outside of a few special stocks, and the strength of picked stocks was regarded as a de- vice largely to sustain the rest of the market. The United States Steel stocks and Amalgamated Copper made good recoveries from the early pressure, which was quite general and news of metal trade conditions was highly fla vorable.
 The movement in Reading was asso- lciated with the sensational movement of Lehigh Coal and Navigation on the Philadelphia Stock exchange, which was supposed to involve an absorption of that property in the pursuit of the consolidation of the anthracite indus try. The Pennsylvania's net increase for October was seen to be almost who'll ly due to reduction of operating eX- penses on lines both east and west of Pittsburg and Erie. The reported growth of business which has led to resembling the retrenchment plans of the company, with presumable expan- sion again of operating coast, had no reflection in the statement. Many of the dormant railroad stocks which were awakened into sudden animation yes- terday suddenly relapsed to-day into total neglect.
 Money was quotably easier to-day, following the enormous shifting of loans which was caused by yesterdays payment of s20,OOO,OO0 on account of Southern Pacific preferred stock Lon don discounts were reduced and ster- ling exchange here yielded to a large supply of cotton bills due to foreign buying on the break in the cotton mar ket.

RI.IIFF THAT WINS.

Reason Why This Young Man Drives
 Tandem.
 q believe there are more bluffs made #in this city than in any other in the Union," grunted an old clubman, as he looked out of the window on the crowds passing along Fifth avenue the other day, and, in spite of the fact that we pride ourselves on being so sharp, l know of no other place where they prove 50 effective. Did you notice that wound man who just droye by in a tandem? happen to know something about him, and I can tell you he is a case in point.
 Looks all right, you say? Of course. he does, and that is the whole thing. He is working the tandem bluff and it looks as if it might be the making of him.
 "He has not laid by "a penny of his own, and certainly he does not own the team he drives. But here is his plan of operations, and, notice how closely it hinges on the tandem arrangement of his team. In the first place no livery man is likely to refuse credit, and plenty of it, to a man who wants to hire a tandem once or twice week. He sizes him up obviously as a young blood with money to burn, just the sort a keen horseman is anxious to have on his books. But the quiet young gentle man who wants to hire a victoria or a coupe for a couple of hours is likely to find he is expected to pay up at the end of his outing. .s
 It is the same along the avenue No tailor or hosier cares to appear too cautious with man who dashes up be- hind his own tandem, and his credit goes up with bound, though man might drive pair to a pole for year without exciting any comment. Even his friends and acquaintances, to say nothing of strangers, are impressed by the show he makes; and by few we'll judged appearances that man you just saw has established himself in circles both business and social to which in reality he has no earthly right to be- long. In case you ever want to try it the tandem bluff is a certain winner- From the New York Press.

FRANCE PROTESTS
 AGAINST SPEECH
PoPE's REGENT WORDS cRTIclS- ING THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY TOOK THE CARDINALS COM PLETELY BY SURPRISE.

Paris, March 26-A protest at the recent utterances of the pope against France was made today by M. Nisrad, the ann basasdor of France at the vatican, to Papal Secretary of State Merri del Val. It Is expected that this will suffffice to give formal expression to the govern ment's disapproval of the popes lan- guage.
 Information reaching government quar- ters shows that members of the sacred college are much divided over the popes utterances, some regarding them as most unwise and uncalled for. It also appears that the cardinals were completely taken by surprise. Only few days before the pope received a delegation of French pill grims, when it was thought he night make some allusion to France. Having not made 1t then, the cardinals were satIs- fled the pope would not discuss France at any time. The incident is regarded as showing the pope's tendency to carry out his personal ideas irrespective to the views of the sacred college.
 The governments protest is understood to have ben substantially as follows:
 ''The discourse by the holy father on the occasion of the feast of St. Joseph constitutes a public criticism upon the policy of France. This criticism is chief ly unacceptable, it being opposed to the stipulations of the concordat which regu- lates the relations between the holy see and France"

New Orleans, March 26.-Challenging its right to exist in this state. Attorney Gen. eral Guon today brought suit against the New Orleans Railway company of New Jersey which is in control of all the street railway property in New Orleans.

TWO MORE NEGROES
 ARE PUT TO DEATH
ELEVEN HAVE NOW BEEN KILLED IN ARKANSAS BY INFURlATED cITIzENS-TRoUB STARTED OVER TRIVIAL MATTER.

Little Rock Ark, March 26-A special to the Gazette from Dewitt, Ark, says:
 Two more negroes have been put to death in the eastern part of this county, making eleven negroes that have been killed as the result of the riot last Mon day.
 Kelly Johnson, the last of the band of negroes that caused the trouble, was shot to death today in the northeastern part of the county. Perry Carter, another negro, was found dead yesterday in the woods near where the five negroes were slain Thursday night by crowd of infuriated citizens.
 The trouble was started by two negroes, Henry and Walker Griffin, at St. Charles, attacking a white man over a trivial matter and these two negroes have es- capped.
 All was quiet tonight at St. Charles. It Is the belief that the most dangerous negroes have been slain, and no further trouble is looked for.

ARKANSAS RESULT
 IS NOT YET KNOWN
DAVIS AND WOOD ARE BOTH CLAIMING ELECTION AS GOV ERNoR-coUNTlNG OF BALLOTS HAS BEEN SLOW.

Little Rock, March 26.-Returns have been coming in slowly tonight, and the result of the democratic primary cleo tion today for officers and congressman cannot be conclusively announced yet At the headquarters of both the candidates for governor, confident claims are made.
 Governor Jeff Davis asserts that he has lost only one county, Jefferson and does not concede that. Pulaski was carried by his opponent, Judge Carroll D. Wood.
 The managers. for Judge Wood claim that he will be nominated by handsome majority Wood carried the city of Little Rock, in Pulaski county, by 1885 ma jority.
 The contest for governor overshadowed all other contests. A heavy vote was boiled in the large counties and the count is progressing slowly owing to the length of the ticket. Indications are tonight that Governor Davis has carried White, Lo- noke. Garland and Washington counties which are among the largest in the state' and that Judge Wood has carried Pulaski, Crawford Clark and Woodruff, also large counties.
 There are seventy-flve counties In the state, and probably several days will elapse before the result will be known of ficially. On the early returns from the First Congressional district, Representa- tive R. E. Macon leads his opponent, Eu- gene Parrish. Nothing definite can be se- cured tonight from the Third Congress sional district, where Representative Jugh A. Dinsrnore is opposed by J. c. Floyd.
 Rohert l.. Rogers is ahead in the race for attorney general, and indications point to his nomination. The race for chief JUS tice of the supreme court is close ana will probably have to be settled by the democratic state convention
