Reducing Forces.

Ninety-eight men in the passenger
coach department OF the Southern Rail-
way at Manchester were laid off Tuesday
night because all available coaches are
now in use, accommodating the demand
from heavy travel. As far as is now
known this will be the only lay-off this
summer. Those deprived Of employ
ment are not old hands, but were put on
last fall at the close Of the heavy travel
to get the coaches ready for this season.
A general retrenchment order, which
takes in all the divisions of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, has been sent
out from the general Offices in Baltimore,

THE USE of certain meat preseryatives
in Philadelphia is causing a stir in that
city, and DR.. B. II. Warren, Dairy and
Pure Food Commissioner, announces his
determination to wage relentless war up
on them. 1t is alleged that the sulphite
preservative preparations with which
pork chops, steaks, chickens, roasts and
sausages have been daily "doctored' by
many dealers are positive menace to
the public health. There are many
articles of food which should receive
official inspection before being placed on
the market. The matter has often been
discussed in Congress and in committee
rooms, although but feeble movements
have been made against those who are
suspected of palming off dangerous goods
upon unsuspecting people.

New York Stock Market.

New York, June 9, II a. m.-The
stock market was somewhat lacking in
the vim shown in the last two days.
There were no specific developments to
induce a change in speculative senti-
ment, but owing to the narrowness of
the market traders are disposed TO take
profits whenever there is slight halt in
activity or advancing movement. First
prices were generally fractionally higher
than last night, but after holding steady
for short time, trifing recessions took
place through the general list. The
changes, however, were as a rule not
important. In industrials U. 5. steel

than last night. Amalgamated copper
was heavy, falling So after an advance
of I. At the beginning Of the second
hour the market was extremely dull, but
the undertone was fairly steady.

Alleged Persecution.

Berlin, June 9.-Reports from reli-
able source state that American Ambas-
sador Mccormick has been severely per
secuted by st. Petersburg society, owing
to American sympathy with Japan.
The Ambassador has, since his arrival
in the Russian capital, resided in Leuch-
tenburg Palace, one of the most magnif-
cent residences in the city. Now, how
ever, he has received notice 10 quit.
The owner Of the palace is related to the
Russian Imperial family, and is reported
to have said "My ancestors woulu
turn in their graves if they knew the
family home was inhabited by the re-
preventative Of country which has
shown itself hostile to Russia" So
ciety, according to the report, is boycott
ting the Mccormick familyin every way
possible. Mrs. Mccormick is quoted
as having expressed a desire to leave
Russia as soon as possible. Russian.
anger is said to have been increased be.
cause the American Ambassador and
Consuls undertook the caring for Jap
anese interests after the outbreak Of the
war with Japan. Complaint is also
made because Mccormick SYSTEMATICALLY
escorted NJ. Kurino, the japanese Am
bassador to the railway station and bade
him an ELUSIVE farewell. In addition
to all this the conclusion ofireaties with
regard to open ports in Manchuria on
the eve of war is generally regarded as
an unfriendly act.
