STOCK GOSSIP.
NEW YORK.

The firm undertone which the market
has shown during the past week against
the bad foreign news has been mainly
because the larger operators and most
important pools and leading market in
tereStS have been carrying the bulk of
the fioau ng supply Of stocks, and with
all these interests holding on tight il
has been comparatively easy task to
maintain prices and cause frequent rail-
lies on the short interest. But now that
some of these big operators and pools
are apparently becoming tired and let
ting go. the undcrtOne is being gradually
weakened, and il looks as though selling
rs more likely &c continue than other
wise, especially in view of the possibility
OF further and more serious cOmplica-
tons developing !n the near future in the
European political situation The situa-
ton and outlook of the general market
IS, therefore. obviously more discour-
aging to holders of securities generally
than recently. and il is feared a still
loWer range of prices is more likely to be
seen before another upturn Of any i'm
pOrtancc occurs.

MIR. SMITH BACK AT HIS DESK

Deputy Water Registrar Daniel Smith,
who has been enjoying a vacation pend
ing the examination of certain Water
Department records by experts from the
New York Audit Company, is back again
at his desk today, the books having been,
it is said, all o. x.
The experts were hired at the instance
of the Pagan administration early in
January, when complaint was received
from the Jersey City Galyanizing Com
pany, when an improperly receipted bill
for water rents amounting to $105 was
sent to the Mayor. The mistake, as ex-
planned at the time by Mr.. Smith, whose
honesty had never been questioned, was
due to an error during a rush of water
rent payers, and the $105, which he i'm
mediately produced he said he could
not account for in footing up TIE receipts
on the day the money was paid.

HIT GETS LEFT.


In the Court of Appeals yesterday the
final decision was rendered in the case
of the estate of Mrs. A. A. Thompson
against Adrain H. Hit. The decree in
Chancery was unanimously affirmed.
The result is that Hit gets nothing
from the estate. His claims We're based
on an asserted note for $4,000, alleged
to have been made to him by Mrs.
Thompson and also upon an alleged
deathbed gift by her to him of another
note for ten thousand dollars, which
was held by her against another party.
Hit gets nothing, the whole case hav-
ing gone against him on the ground of
fraud.

REORGANIZATION YESTERDAY
Session Was Secret But No
Sensations Resulted From
the Clash With the
Police Board.
REORGANIZATION YESTERDAY

The medican staff of the City Hospi-
tai recognized yesterday by electing DIR.
Or. Mortimer * Lampson to succeed DIR.
w. W. Varick as chairman and re-elect
ing Dr. William II. Parker as secretary.
Much interest was manifested in the out
come of the meeting, as it was anticipat-
ed that important developments would be
made in the controversy between the
members of the staff and the Police
Board, which has taken from the stoff
the old established prerogatiye of rec
ommending new members to fill vacan-
cies.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors and the members declined to di-
vulge the full proceedings. Nearly all
of the members were present.
The meeting was supposed to be the
regular monthly meeting Of the staff,
but as officers had not been elected in
some time, a reorganization was effected
yesterday in compliance with the orders
recently promulgated by the Police
Board.
There had been some talk about whole
sale designations on the part of at least
a majority of the members. who look
upon the Police Boards recent action
as an attempt to inject politics into pro-
fessional matters concerning the staff
and the hospital So far as could be as
certained the subject of designations was
mentioned only in facetious manner.
DIR. Everitt, over whose appointment
by the Police Board without consulting
the staff, the controversy arose. made the
following speech. which appears to be
the principal feature of the meeting:-
Mr. President-As | have been the
cause of SO much controversy and dis
sension in this Board l consider it my
duty to say a few words in defense Of
myself. Heretofore l have sale nothing.
My lips have been sealed. AS my pro
fessional pride and medical ethics pre-
vented me from jumping into the news
papers and criticizing brother physicians,
But, now, gentlemen, we are face to
face, man to man, and / am going to
ask you few questions. BY you L
mean the eminent gentlemen who dis
carded all professional ethics and so un-
justly criticized nay professional ability
in the public press. Why did you do it?
Were you jealous because of my rapid
ascension in the merical profession or
did you have another man for the place?
You characterized me as an unskillful
youth, appointed purely for political rea-
sons. Let me say you are not capable
