YEsrERDAY's STOCK MARKET
For the Most par,a Drlnlns Match.

For the Most Part Drifting Match.
 New York, Feb. 5.-To-day's stock market was drifting match, operators for the most part standing idly by and
 watching the amazing fluctuations in
 the cotton market and awaiting the ex- pected definite outcome of the question
 of peace or war in the far east. The
 mere fact of the wild condition of the cotton market was sufficient to exert
 a depressing influence on stocks wheth-
 CT the price of cotton was advancing or
 collapsing. As a matter of fact. the
 rebounds in that market were of almost
 equal violence with the drops. The
 grain markets also were inclined to run oH. Light was to be had from these
 markets, therefore. on the chances of
 peace or war. The foreign arbitrage
 brokers were idle, reflecting the almost
 stagnane condition Of foreign opera
 tions pending the settlement of the oues- ton. The weakness of stocks grew more
 marked as the day progressed, and during lne lattef part Of the session losses of Il pont or more became quite general in the prominent active stocks. The market show ed no effective resiiency. and the closing
 was weak and dull. There were some carly points Of resistence to the declining ten uency; Amalgamated Copper was lifted on the circulation of q runlOr that another favorable ruling had been made in it's Mon tana litigation. Sugar, U. S. Steel pf and Ch'cago and Alton stocks made short lived demonstrations of strength. The first marked weakness developed in Wabash pf. and h Pennsylvania and the whole market weakened after the publication of report that the Pennsylvania iterensts had is- sued otes for $50,O00,0O0 for eighteen
 months at AZ per cent. Several reports were circulated during the day to indicate q settlement of the Pennsylyanta-Gould
 the proceeds of this loan applicable to this
 settlement, but without any avail to check the decline ill the stocks affected. Keen in terest Is felt in the financial world to learn the price at which these notes were placed, in view of the precedent of the large tenn the New York Central and other railroads year ago and the substantial commission allowed to bankers at that time In the shape of discount on the notes. These notes were subsequently taken up by the proceeds of the Pennsylvania stock issue. Rumors have been abundant for some days past of contemplated capital isshe by the Pennsyl- vanla, which have been vigorously denied. These evidences of heavy loan expansion to which was added the sale of S5,000,000 of Missouri Pacific notes was of more effect on
 sentiment than the estimates of gain in
 cash reserves by the banks on the week of
 about S2,000,O00 in spite of the large sub treasury requirements and shipments in New Orleans
 Bonds were dull and heavy. Total sales par value $2, 10000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Davenport, Oct. 1S.-Ex- Mayor S. F.
Smith, sen of the author of America
was today sentenced to eleven years in
the penitentiary at Anamosa. He was
brought into court this afternoon when
he plead guilty to two charges of em-
bezzlement and one of forgery. Smiths
crime Is familiar to readers OF these
columns. He embezzled large sums aof
money from various estates for which
he was acting as trustee and as ex-
ecutor. He was for many years one
of the most respected men in Daven-
port and was formerly mayor Of the
city. The announcement that a big

came as a great shock to the COM
munity. Some of his bondsmen viii be
entirely ruined If compelled to make
good his peculations. His sentence in
court today was a pathetic scene.

Rensselaer,, Ind, Oct. 1S.-The feel
ing that has been growing here since
the failure Of the Mccoy bank last
April reached a climax Sunday night
when the beautiful home of Thomas
Mccoy who was Identified with his
father In the operation Of the bank,

The shock of the explosion could be
heard for miles. Windows in resi-

suffered.
The Mccoy family was not at home
at the time and 1t is believed that none
of them is in the city. Thomas Mccoy
has been in Lafayette for several days.

sumably meaning himself, "pitied John

ing some years to think about it, ami

Senator Daniel. of Virginia. of the

The original of the John Brown bal
lad has been in much dispute, many
persons alleging that 1t was written
about another John Brown. long before
the arrival of the hero of Ossawatto-
mie on the scenes; but 1t remained for
the learned Virginia senator to explain
that this was a republican song and
that only persons who believed in
high tariff and ship subsidies would be
expected to sing it. After the eloquent
Virginian praised Jefferson in contrast
with Brown he alluded to the compli-
ment which the ancestors of his hear

their county and predicted that there
would be none so mean a century

DREADFUL CARNAGE.
storming Of Lone Tree Hill Sets New
Mark In Military Annals.

MARX IN Mlhtofy ANNALS
st. Petersburg, Oct. 18.-The general
staff believes the storming Of Lone
Tree hill for valor and slaughter will
occupy place by itself in military an
mails. Kuropatkin, under whose eye
the assault was made, rechristened it
Poulitoff hill, in honor of the man who
led the attack at the head Of the second
brigade Of the the East Siberian rifle
division and who was subsequently
decorated on the field with St.
Georges cross. The hill is a preoipi-
tious rocky height and altho the jap
anese had occupied 1t only short time
they had thrown up very strong defen-
ses. The river running at it's foot in
creased the difficulty, but it was
scaled and carried successfully against
the Unprecedented opposition of Jap
anese division of $4,000 men, with
many guns. The Russian losses were
terrible. The fighting on the crest of
the hill was altogether with cold steels
The Russian officers, with swords aloft
leading the scaling column were liter

bayonets. The Japanese then bayonet-
ed the first Russian soldiers who were
piled in the trenches. All the dead In

Vice Presidential Candidates Differ
on the Question.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-When John
Brown selected Harpers Ferry as the
scene of his sensational defiance OF
slave power he did not realize how the
location Of that picturesque village on
main trunk line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad would lend itself to
new interpretations of his work, as
time went on, thru the rear platform
oratory Of presidential campaigns. This
year has developed fresh chapter In
John Browns history. All the cam
paign specials stop at Harper's Ferry,
which is q junction point, and no ora
tor could so fail to take note of local
interests as to overlook John Brown.
The cautious Charles W. Fairbanks
came along first ,and not desiring to
offend the feelings of community
whose sympatlies are now largely
southern referred to the removal of
the John Brown fort, which he had
seen at the railroad station on the oc-
casion OF his first visit as something
which he regarded as typical OF the
obliteration, one by one, of the causes
of discord between the sections. in
the growing unity OF the American peo-
pie. He said nothing for or against
John Brown. His attitude was digai-
ned. standing among; probable ad-
herents or sympathizers Of both sides
in that memorable raid.

Mysterious Blaze Aboard the Hancock

New York, Oct. 1S. a. Fire caused
considerable damage yesterday on the
United States receiving ship Hancock
at the New York navy yafd. 4 It IL not
known how long the fire had been
burning when discovered, but 1t must
have been several hours. A water
tight compartment leading to a coal

and It was several hours before the
sect Of the flames could be reached.
Meantime the smoke invaded every
part Of the ship and at one time it
was almost overpowering in the OFF,

Quantities Of coal from the bunkers the
flremen got at the fire, but It was not
uatil after noon that the fire was COM
pletely put out.
The Hancock is the most Important

having a thousand sailors and newly
enlisted men aboard.
The cause Of the flames is shrouded
In mystery.

upon the return of the girls to Japan.
The girls have been employed at a
concession ON the pike at the worlds
fair. Their services not being longer
required, it is proposed to send them
back to their homes. but they do not
want to go back, and are making
fight, with the assistance of the attor-
neys whom they have retained, to be
permitted to remain here.
The contention Of the girls is that
they have been admitted legally to the
country; that they are high class ar
lists. and that to compel them to re-
turn to Japan when they would rather
remain in America and follow their
profession, would be an encroachment
on their rights. The japanese commits
sioners insist that the girls We're ad-
1nitted to the country for the purpose
of appearing in Japanese entertain
ments on the pike, and for the gov
ernment of the United States to fail
to enforce their return would not only
be a reputation of an implied obliga-
tion but a violation Of the immigration
laws.
