SATURDAY, APRIL l. 1905.


 THE latest Washington dispatches i'm form us that the Senate is fully deter mined not to confirm the reappoint- ment of Judge Wickersham. The pre- sident made recess appointment so that Wickersham could serve during the Senate's recess, thereby avoiding the necessity of a new judge taking charge of the office until after the dis posal of legislative measures now pend ing. before Congress.
 The Senate even raised the question as to whether Wickersham should draw salary during the term of his recess appointment, and the matter was final ly referred to the comptroller. This shows what esteem the Senate have for Wickersham. His political aspirations and greed for financial gain have so blinded him, that he could not see po- litical ruin staring him in the face. If he had rendered his resignation in time considerable prestige could have been retained, and his political future have brighter cast than at present. His official bond and oath of office compel him to fulfill the duties of the office un- til his successor Is duly appointed and qualified. A resignation would not be considered if there was question as to financial irregularities in the office. Wickersham can blame no one but himself for his downfall. He we'll was aware that administration composed of such rotten timber as Commissioners J. Lindley Green. E. R. Brady and Dep uty marshal George Dreibelbis, support ed by the class of henchmcn, chosen by himself, could not withstand the hard knocks of vigorous and honest campaign. He has ignominiously set his foot on the rights of the people and unscrupulously used his official power to shield corruption, and further his

Reactionary Movement in the
Market.
IRREGULAR, BUT HEAVY
EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH SHOWN
BY U. s. STEEL SHARES
General Weakness in London Prices
General Dearth of Important
News Over Sunday.

NEW YORK, September 25-It Is usually
the case that a reactionary movement in
the market excites more discussion and
conjecture as to the reasons therefor than
does a protracted swing in the opposite d.
rection. Today's stock market which show
ed declines averaging about 1 point. was no
exception, to this rule. The market opened
irregular. but generally heavy with excep-
tionai strength. however. shown by the
United States Steel shares. Before the close
of the first hour the downward swing had
become common. and the United States
Steel stocks participated in the general
drift. There was an utter absence of &C
tual news of Importance over Sunday. and
the only fresh development with which the
market was confronted upon the opening
OF business was the general weakness in
prices In London. The declines shown in
American stocks were succeeded by quite
heavy selling here for foreign account,
these operations resulting on balance in the
liquidation of some p, 900 shares.
The balance would have been much Iarg-
er except for the renewed heavy buying
of the United States Steel stocks for Lon
don account near the opening of business.
Other considerable and concentrated SELL
ing which served to depress prices dur
ing the forenoon had its origin plainly in
Boston. This selling in turn was COM
monty assumed to foreshadow another out
burst of advertising activity on the part
of Thomas W. Lawson, and in the I'M
settled state of sentiment this dire pros
pect had the effect of terrifying at least
the speculator on weak margins. Other
explanations of the markets tendency dur
Ing the morning ranged from the serious
to the silly. For one thing. the money
market was decidedly firmer and renew
ais of standing loans on call were fixed at
Az and Il per cent.
Most of the days new borrowing was
also arranged for at those figures. Rather
firmer tendencies were noted also in the
market for loans on time. Now that the
bulk OF the pension payments have been
concluded, the banks losing again to
the Subtreasury, this mornings figures
showing an adverse balance of 81 90 00O
Currency shipments to the interior were
conducted in considerable volume. On the
other hand, fresh engagements of gold,
amounting to 100000 pounds sterling, were
made IN the London market for shipment
to New York, and cabled advices set forth
that practically all of the metal appearing
in the open market was being taken for
New York account.
At the same time in their respective quar-
tiers of the market, the course of South
ern Pacific and General Electric stood out
in rather marked contrast with other Sc
curities.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 25.-of course
1t would not have been necessary
to bring up at the st. Paul meeting
last Saturday any scheme which the d.
rectors may have to extend the road west
ward to the Pacific. for three years ago an
issue of $25.0O0.0 900 common stock was au-
thorized by the stockholders and the stock
as yet unissued would go very far toward
paying for the construction of Pacific ex-
tension whenever the directors should de-
eide to offer II. Regardless of the chance
that such an extension might signify rail-
road animosities and be the signal for
rather unpleasant strife, 1t would be hard
to see how carrying the st. Paul to coast
terminal on a stock issue could be construed
as very bearish on the outstanding shares
of the road.
1t is not too much to say that Wall street
Is and has for some time been conductins
its operations IL not without regard to pos
sible legislation at Washington this WIN
ter, at least having in mind the chance
that some kind OF a railroad rate Dill wiz

the direction OF tariff revision.

I'VE never expected to see such foliage

Certainly. at the present time visitors, are
seeing London's foliage at its best For the

parks department Of the county council
who tried the experiment Of planting acacia
trees alternately with the plane In Aid

not survive the transplanting process. some
twenty already show a fine head of grace

better In London than any other forest tree
