rate in London and an advance in the sterling rate at Paris also eased the stu- ation which began to threaten a with drawal of gold from New York. But it Is realized that a decisive battle between the opposition fleets might affect foreign money markets to an extent which would precipitate demand upon our money reserves. Notwithstanding the discussion of the Northern Securities situation Un- ion Pacific was firm to strong all day The other principal points of strength were in the industrial list, notably Smelt- ing. Amalgamated Copper and the Loco- motive stocks.
 The weakness of New York Central was a strong influence, and Illinois Central also suffered from free realizing in yes- terday's wide advance. The electric stocks suffered on rlimors of the rupture of a working agreement, and of the expansion of competition in their field. A sharp break in Peoples Gas was also an ef- fective influence. The Cleveland, Gin cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis stock in crease added another to the long list of new capital issues coming upon the mar ket. An enthusiastic weekly review of the iron trade awakened a lively demand for United States Steel preferred. and an &C., tive absorption of Union Pacific at the same time carried the market upwards to a strong closing.

FACE LOCAL OPTION.
Illinois Legislators Confronted by
This Issue.

Springfield. ILL.,, March 21.-LocaI
option Will be the paramount issue in
the legislature this week. It is doubt
ful If there is any subject of legisla-
ton which presents so many en-
barrassments to house members as 10
cal option. The Anderson bill, known
as senate bill 50, passed the senate
five weeks ago and now lies on the
speakers table. The Illinois Anti
saloon league insists that the bill be
referred to the house committee on
elections while nearly all house mem
bers agree with Speaker Shurtlef
that the measure properly belongs to
the committee on license. The meas
ure viii be taken from the speakers
table Tuesday and thrown upon the
Speaker Shurtlen is of the ex-
pressed opinion that the bill should be
referred to the license committee, but
on account of the furious epistolary
which seems to regard the license
committee as packed against local
option. the speaker has promised
William H Anderson, superintendent
of the league, to allow the house to
decide the question of reference.
Accordingly. when the bill is taken
from the table Tuesday morning.
Speaker Shurtleff will announce to the
house that he holds a personal opin-
ion as to which committee the bill
should be referred to, but will enter
tain a motion respecting reference.
Representative Austin of Oak Park
will thereupon move that the meas
ure be referred to the elections COM
mittee, and upon that motion Mr.
Shurtleff Will order a roll call.
Prohibition leaders have passed the
word that if the Anderson bill is not
ordered sent to the elections COM
mittee the measure will be regarded
as killed. League meetings were held
in many parts of the state yesterday
calling attention to the danger of local
option defeat and it is proposed to
lombard house members tomorrow
with kilograms and letters demand
ing that they support a motion to re-
fer the Anderson bill to the elections
committee.
One of the features of the local
option agitation is the inflammatory
perintendent Anderson since the open
ing of the fOrty-fourth general assem-
bly,. superintendent Anderson has
attacked bitterly the senate and house
and Friday wrote a letter to Speaker
Shurtleff in which he cast aspersions
on the license committee and ques-
toned the motives of the speaker.
The Anderson letters have aroused the
opposition of the house leaders and
the chances are against the Anderson
bill becoming a law. It is also re-
garded a good guess that senate bill
95 viii not be referred to the elections
the AntisaloOn league Will preserve
the roll call on reference Tuesday and
will seek to defeat for reelection any
member of the house who votes
against reference to the elections COM
mittee.

the Tribune from San Francisco. Cal,
says:
The cod fishing schooner Czarina,
from Eagle Harbor, Alaska, has
brought Frederick Martin. still suffer-
ing from three days and nights in an
Arctic prison, shut in by the raging
sea on the one side and a sheer gla-
cier on the other
Martin was placed in this dangerous
position BY a storm which overlook
him while fishing of Eagle Harbor
last April and which blew his dOry
ashore.
A narrow half circle of beach be-
tween the sea and the glacier made a
prison as hopeless as the bastile.
Notwithstanding his sufferings, and
the apparent hopelessness of his posi-
ton, Martin kept a diary, written
hourly 1t tells of his despair, his re-
course to raw fish bait as food, two
DAYS of starvation, his fight to keep
the blood moving by savagely beating
his feet with the handle of a gam, his
final perseverance, and his escape by
climbing the glacier in his bare feet;
how with a rope he lassOed the pin
nacle of a rock far above him and
then climbed up the cliff, clinging to
the crevices with his bare feet Then
he ran across the frozen fields to
fishing station.

Street Railways

Chicago. March 21.-The Chicago City
railway, a corporation controlling 30
miles of street railway lines in the south
and southwest portion of Chicago is
now without a franchise of any descrip-
ton whatever.
For some time the company has been
operating under an extension of their

alton by the city council which passed
an ordinance declaring that the COM
pany had no rights whatever in the
streets in which their cars are operated
Corporation Counsel Tolman hurried
to Judge Macks court where the jurist
was waiting. and filed a bill asking an
injunction restraining the Chicago City

WORK ON THE BRIDGE.
Men Are Now Excavating for the
North Abutment.

Work has commenced on the excava-
tien for the north abutment of the ex-
tension to the Melan bridge. A steam
engine located some distance west of
the bridge furnishes the power by which
the dirt is being taken out of the hole
with scrapers hitched to long cables.
A large amount OF excavating must
be done, and the system adopted by the
contractors seems to be a rapid system.
After the dirt is taken out to a suffi-
Gent depth, the abutment of the bridge
is built out of concrete on the hard
pan bottom of the river.
The temporary approach to the Melan
bridge has been completed and is now
in use. The work of tearing out the
old wooden span is now in progress.
