ACTION NOTJUSTIF'IED
NORTH SEA COMMISSION FINDS
AGAINST RUSSIA IN DOG
GER 6ANk AFFAIR.".

Board Of Admirals Declares That No
Torpedo Boats Were Present Among
the Fishing Fleet and Rojestvensky
Should Not Have Opened Fire-Lat-
ter Is Declared to Have Acted Ac-
cording to His Best Belief.
Paris, Feb. 25.-The decision of the
international commission of inquiry
into the North sea incident was pub
llcly announced at the closing session
of the commission. The decision
)engthily sets forth the circumstances
and incidents and gives the oH4ion of
the admirals On the various important
points involved. The decision says
the delay of the Russian transport
kamchatka, following the breakdown
OF her machinery, was perhaps the
cause of the incident. The comman-
der OF the Kamchatka signalled to Ad-
miral RojestvensEy during the even
ing that he had. been attacked by tor
pedo boats The admiral therefore
had reason to believe he was at.
tackled and gave orders for strict Wig
lance against tie possible approach
OF torpedo boats. The majority of the
commission considers that Admiral
Rojestvensky's orders were not exces.
civ in Of RI
the circumstances, and that he had
every reason to consider the situation
very alarming.
The commission the decision
says, recognize unanimously that the
fishing feet committed no hostile act
and the majority of the commissioners
being OF the opinion that there were
not, neither among the fishing boats
nor in their vicinity, any torpedo boats,
the opening of fire by Admiral Rojest-
venshy was not justifed.'
Russian Admiral Dissents.
The decision further says the Rus
sian commissioner did not share in
the latter opinion.
In any event." the decision contin-
ues, the commissioners are glad to
recognize unanimously that Admiral
Rojestvensky personally did all he
could from the commencement to the
end to prevent the trawlers from be-
ing the object of fire by the Russian
squadron"
Concerning the sQuadron's proceed
ing without assisting the damaged
traw1ers the decision says:
The commissioners are unanimous
that under the circumstances proceed
ing and following the incident that
there was such uncertainty concerning
the danger to the squadron as to war
rant Admiral Rojestvensky in con-
tinuing his route.
However, the majority regrets that
the admiral did not inform the neigh
boring maritime powers of what had
occnrred.'
The decision concludes as follows:
The commissioners declare that
their views as formulated are not OF
nature to cast any discredit upon the
military valor nor upon the sentiments
OF humanity of Admiral Rojestvensky
and The personnel Of his squadron

TEsTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET.
Further Progress rowariIs a COndi-
 tion of Absolute stagnation.

New York, June 9.-To-day's stock
 market made further progress towards a condition of absolute stagnation. Even
 the temporary spurt of the first hour
 which had come to be expected as the
 result of the testing efforts of traders,
 was lacking. The average first hours dealings to-day were only slightly above the average. The marking up of one or two stocks of the southern group late in the day was attributed to oper-
 ations by a few of the traders who
 have not abandoned the market entire
 ly It is supposed that a pool exists in these stocks. The narrow fluctuations of the market maintained some appear
 ance of coherency early in the day, but the later movements were entirely con-
 fused and irregular. Some influence is attributed to the fact of the coming Whitsuntfde holidays in London which drove the London market into a con- dition of idleness almost equal to our own. The heavy falling off in the &C., tivity of the trading is responsible for
 the sharp decline in the price of stock exchange seats, a sale being reported aL 9iG,OUu. lH6 pIGNlOuS Sdl6 l6Il udyS ago was at $7S,00O, and the high price of $S4G0O was paid within the year. Some of the disposition to defer opera
 tions was attributed to the desier to
 known the completion of to-morrow's
 government report on the June condi-
 tion of the grain crops Opinions over the bank statement are mixed, owing to the large special operations which have occurred, including the shifting of deposits incident to the transfer of the Japanese loan proceeds. Call money was slightly firmer, but not enough so to be an influence. Some consideration is beginning to be given, however, to the preparations for the half yearly settlements. There was more activity in the bond market than in stocks and prices there were we'll maintained. There was an active speculation in Gen. tral of Georgia income bonds. Total sales par value, $2,770,0 900.
 United States 3s registered declined IA per cent. on call.

work after the next meal, one always knows just where to find them, and the work will be dreaded nearly so much if the worker is sure of having good tools with which to work.
 To return to the dishes themselves china which is decorated with gilt should never be placed in water con taining soap, bOrax, ammonia, or any of these agents; nor should it be wip- ed with cloth, but be merely washed and rinsed and left to dry. If gliding be comes dull or tarnished, the brillianoe can be restored by rubbing it with little whiting; keeping china in a damp closet, or putting it away half dried is sure to dull the gliding Plates that are richly gilded should never be placed one on top of another without having between them circles of flannel or of plotting paper, to keep the china from becoming scratched.
 The Proper Cloths-For dish cloths, it is difficult to improve upon worn out gauge underwear, although there are countless other fabrics that may be used, and many notable housewives advise the use of linen crash. The writer finds that no material sheds" grease like gauge, which can be made
 sweet and clean by a dip into ammo mia water, followed by scalding. af-
 ter which the cloth should be spread out on @ short line out of doors. The
 gauge is so soft that it vii not scratch the finest glassware, neither does it
 shed particles of lint in the dish water
 as half worn linen cloth is apt to do.
 Make each cloth about 12 or If inches
 skuare, and if the gauge is very thin. double it, making one hem hold the
 squares together.
 A dish mop is a necessity, for it is illusing the hands to put them into water sufficiently hot to wash greasy and fishy dishes. In addition to these
 one should have an abundant supply of hemmed towels, of material which
 sheds no lint, and no material wears better, or gives more satisfaction for the purpose, than bed ticking( uncom- lmcn as this material my be in this connection; it should be washed sev-
 eral times to remove the stiffness, or the towels may be made of the ticking from an old bed which has been re-
 covered, and towels made of this will
 "wear like iron" Linen crash towels are all very we'll in theory, but prac- tice finds that when half worn, they
 shed lint in a most disagreeable fash
 ion. For glassware, hemmed square
 of wornout table linen of all kinds
 cannot be improved upon, since they
 are soft and do not shed lint; more
 over they are easily kept clean.-Buf- falo

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DULLESF DAY OF TEAR ON THE
 EXCHANGE.

Only About l75.OoO Shares Dealt In
 Truly a Waiting NIarI<et-Cioses
 Firm With l.. tE N. and Copper Strong
 The stock market yesterday was the dullest and most uninteresting of the year.
 Only about 175,0OO shares were trad ed in-the smallest amount of the year.
 In the last hour Louisville and Nash vile was bid up 2 points and Amal- gamated Copper displayed firmness. The action of these two stocks had a steadying influence on the list general ly.
 Owing to the stock tax there was really no incentive for the trading ele- ment, now in complete control of spec ulation, to promote activity.
 The London stock exchange will be closed from yesterday afternoon until Tuesday morning in observance of the Whitsuntide holidays. This and the stock tax fully accounts for the dull- ness.
 The pending of the movement for peace also had a deterrent effect on speculation.
 Yesterdays returns to the city's prin- cipal banks show a net loss on the weeks currency movement of $1,SS5,O 600.
 Quite number of the big traders were away yesterday.
 Not much improvement as to activ- ity is expected in the near future.
 The volume of business in bonds was small for this time of the year and there is still no indication that the July disbursements will be placed unless some radical changes occur in the con- ditions that are depressing the mar ket.
 Malt preferred sold off to 20 on the offer of moderate supply of stock. Halstead & Hodges sold it and stop or ders were uncovered. It has been quot ed 21 bid for some time. This is an- other of the industrials that did not make good the pool predictions of two months ago.
 There was some discussion as to whether if trading fin stocks continues thus dull until the special session of the legislature, a movement may not be started to try and get the transfer tax law repealed.
 If the market does not respond to g. strong government crop report on Mon- day there will be considerable disap- pointment among those who are calcu- lating on it to bull the Grangers.
 Wheat and four exports this week were 1G7,617 bushels above last week, but 5,192 bushels below year ago. Since July 1 last, exports have been 60,007,27 bushels. against 129, ,42S ,461 last year, and 16S,261, ,o21 in 1903, Corn ex- ports this week were 65O,2S2 bushels above last week, and 1,G50,606 bushels nbove last year.
