Precautions Are Taken.
Special measures have been taken
for guarding the palace. The fact
that the president and his family are
remaining at home, and that troops
are being sent to the points where

far as known. however, these plots are
not generally backed up by any large

Review Polish History.
ST. Petersburg, Nov. 2l.-The delega-
tion of "a prominent Poles, comprising
representatives of all the principal
parties in Poland. except the socialists,
and also including members of the
Catholic. Evangelical and Hebrew
churches. has issued a manifesto to
the Russian people reviewing the sad
history VI III tllC ldSJ CCntuI
The manifesto declares that the
Poles have no thought of separation or
of independence and asks the support
of all parties in Russia.
Demands Outlined.
The manifesto firmly declares that
the normal and peaceful existence of
Poland will only be possible by the
granting of autonomy, permission TO
use the Polish language in the schools
and in the courts and by the local ad-
ministratiOn. and intrusting of the
Poles with the government of the
kingdom.
The assertion recently made in
government communication regarding
the causes which led to the declaration
of martial law in Poland are categOric-
ally denied. 1t is insisted that the coun-
try is not in a state of revolution and
that the acts of violence which formed
the pretext for the imposition of mar
tial law We're not the acts of the Polish
people as whole but of the same rev
olutionary elements which were to be
found throughout all Russia.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 6.-The stock mar
ket broadened out today into much
better distribution of strength ana
there was decided growth in animation
as well. The railroad list was not so
distinctly differentiated from that of
the industrialS as was the case yester-
day and earlier in the week but there
persisted a rather spotty tendency
amongst the railroads. The melting
influence to the notable revival of
speculative interest was the organized
movement in u. S. Steel preferred,
which stock was rushed up to record
price by rapid steps on an enormous
accumulation. This movement was,
of course, based on the extraordinary
activity and prosperity in the iron and
steel trade. The relief offered by to-
days development from the dampen-
ing effect on the general list of the
sluggishness of the bulky and unwield-
dy steel issues was very quickly mani
fest throughout the market. The pur-
pose of the $100,000,000 increase in
Union Pacific preferred stock was as
much a mystery as when first an
nounced and the wide range of con-
lecture on this point was q potent IN
tluence on the speculation in various
stocks. The movement in the South
ern group of railroads was helped by
the great growth in the cotton move
ment and the encouraging reports
from the winter wheat crop We're &
supporting factor in the general mar
ket. The gradual easing of the money
market encourages the faith Of the
speculative element that there is plenty
to go around for all their purposes.
The extent of the days advance invi-
ted considerable realizing and the mar
ket closed irregular and generally be-
low the best.
