stock market. In almost every stock that has been brought into great prominence, recently, the hand of the Standard Oil Company was discern ed beyond peradventure.
 Buying orders have been distriout- ed through several large houses. from the staIL of the campaign, and stock in large quantities has gone 10 No. 26 Broadway, the headquarters If the Standard Oil Company. Of course this interest has sold on a scale up paigns, but it has not su:, eeded :a getting rid of much stock as yet, ac. cording to good juds es.
 Money rates have sriffened a llttlc but there is no danger of stringercy, and although tempOr lry ;Irmness may en5ue, some of the highest circles iu the Street say positively that the great weight of an enlarged soid sup Oly is certain, later, to force d'.yil the figures again.
 Wall Street has often been treate1 to the spectacle of advancing stocIS and raising money. It would not be surprising to see it again. Large In- terests have provided themselves alth all funds necessary to conduct a cam paiSn, and they got them at low rates.
 Another feature of this phase is that loans decrease while money and stocks rise, and 1t is ow,ng to the withdrawal of funds from the barks (reducing their loans outstandingD by the trust companies which relslld direct in order to get the benefit of the higher returns shown in the cpen money market, from which they lave been excluded for a long time.
 Foreign bankers are eager to len 1 money in this market. According ;o some of them imports of gold for that purpose are possible in case the rates become little stronger Foeeign banks are very anxious to get short term notes. but the railroai coinra- nies have paid off practically all crt- standing notes and through tine saIe of bonds have supplied themselves with necessary money.
 The demand for high grade f,ol ds continues. The long waiting .'sts are 1 little curtailed. Many wouI1-be Eny- CTS are getting impatient and are buy ing medium grade issues. The ever i counter inquiry is as large as ever. This is remarkable.
 Reports from the interior say that a big spring trade is anticipated; that the relaxation of winters grip is caus- ing merchants to become active: that bank clearings continue to increase ; that steel trade reports show improve ment; and that business generally is preparing for a big year.
 These are certainly no bear cards, and while a trading market may be witnessed in Wall Street for a time again. the trend of the market as yet seems to be upward. Those who oper. ate often will gain the best results ] no doubt. by purchasing on reactions and not ignoring reasonable returns on the bulges.

the incumbent had served one, two or more terms.
 In line with the general policy Of civil appointments, Secretary Taft said it also had been determined not to appoint as brigadiers general on the active list of army officers who had served forty years, including service in the Civil war, those officers now ei- igible to retirement as brigadiers gen. eral, and it is not the purpose of the administration to make them briga- diers general on the active list. The secretary said there were approxi- mately forty such officers. all of whom would be permitted to retire as briga- diers general or continue in service in their present grade at their option. The adoption of this policy will open the way for appointment as brigsdierS general of many more younger officers th2a have heretofore had that grade.

doubt but that these measures will never come before the House. The general feeling is that some law for 8 mining tax should be enacted, but neither of the bills introduced seem to fill the requirements, and would act as cold water upon mine investors from outside the territory
 The live stock bill introduced by MT Webb, also has a majority who who do not favor its passage in the present form. The law as drawn by MT. Webb contains over forty type written pages, and is objected to on the ground that it is too unweildy to be serviceable.
 One subject is causing much criti. cism in Phoenix among a large class of people, and that is the attitude of the members of the Legislature to- ward tuberculosis. The subject, a serious one b many in the territory, has been one of considerable leyity in the House of late. When Mir. Kenne. dy introduced bill to prohibit sut ferers from that disease holding pub lie office, MT. Neville added to the testing by proposing the following amendments:
 First-That all persons afflicted shall not marry.
 Second-That all persons so affIict- ed shall not vote or appear at votip- place.
 Third-That they shall not hereafter be admitted to Arizona.
 Fourth-That all persons occupying public office shall obtain a certificate xNT h afflicted with tuberculosis, and that such certificates be also required from members of the Legislature.
 The manner in which the subject was handled has created much criti- cism from residents here.
 The Council has passed a rule against the introduction of more bills at this session, and the House has be- gun to discourage those who are over- ardent as lawmakers.
 Among the new bills introduced are:
 By Mir. Anderson, bill relating to license taxes on public exhibitions.
 By Mir. Timmons, a bill providing for the sale of stock of delinquent sub scribers of corporations. e.
 By Mir. Neal, bill for the econom- ical reduction of county indebtedness.
 House bill No. 8. providing counties may have county road superintend- ent, after long and heated debate in the committee of the whole, was final. lv referred to the corporation commit tee.
 Other bills debated in committee of the whole were as follows:
 H. B. No. 38. relating to care and disposition of county and territorial monies collected by the treasurer.

ACCIDENTAL, ExPLosIsc; OF
 BoMR-ENGLlSHMAN HAD IT

St. Petersburg. March 11.-The ex- plosion of bomb at the Hotel Bristol just before daylight this morning blew to atoms the owner of the missile, 8 man with an English passport, and giving the name of Fred Henry Nc -Cullough. The explosion wrecked ad- joining rooms, killing the wife of an officer and injuring several other dodgers.
 There is not the slightest doubt that the man killed was connected with the terrorist plot The bomb was or the same power as those which killed the late Minister of the Interior Won Plehve and Grand Duke Sergius. It created the same havoc as did the ex- plosion at the Hotel du Nord last spring.
 Preliminary investigation by the po- lice leads them to believe that McCul- tough was engaged either in packing his effects, as the Motel Bristol was to be vacated today, or was preparing for some desperate enterprise when the bomb which, like all internal ma chimes of terrorists, was provided with gravity tubes, fell and exploded, as the one at the Hotel Du Nord did.

KANSAS OIL CONCERN REPLIES.
Presents Answer to Attacks to Com
 missioner of Corporations.

New York, March 11.-M. F. Elliott, attorney for the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, of Kansas, has presented to Commissioner of Corporations James R. Garfield, at Washington, the first answer of that company in regard to the Kansas-Indian Territory oil fields
 The company asks of Commissioner Garfield the most full and prompt in- vestigation possible at his hands, feel ing entirely sure. as MT. Elliott says. that when stheir relations to the oil producers of Kansas are fully laid bare it will be seen that the latter have been treated with the utmost fairness"
 The statement adds: 'The recent action of the company with reference to it's operations in Kansas has been with good reason. The legislature of Kansas was threatening to pass. and has indeed passed laws, compliance with which is an utter impossibility If they are to be enforced the compa- ny certainly does not desire to in crease it's investment in Kansas"

MARKET CONDITIONS IEYIEW FOR WEEK
 SHOWS STRENGTH THROUGHOUT COUNTRY

New York, March 9.-Devlopments in the financial world, during the week were not calculated to affect the market which exhibited alternate strength and weakness. and perambu- lated into a trading affair for a time.
 As near as the writer could ascer- tain, disappointment over the public's response to the vigorous bullish op- erations decided insiders to make thorough test of the market and shake out the regular following be- fore putting prices any higher.
 It is certainly astonishing that the public has not responded to the bull ish workings in the market. They have been conducted in an orderly manneT they have been in control of the eastern element; they have fol lowed the usual procedure, succeeding a big bond demand: underlying fac tors have been and still are bullish- but the fact remains that business for the speculative brokers. has not been worth considering, except in some few cases.
 Why the public does not come in to the market with the money rates so cheap fundamentals bullish, and prospects bright, Is mystery mat no bodx seems to be able to solve, but it is the powers' evident determination to force prices higher if conditions justify it, in another effort to interest the public.
 Old timers say that the shocks giv- en to the public in 1901 and 1903 were such that the latter will not recover from them for decade. This may be true. But it is also a fact that the bull market interested a semi-profes- sional following that, in the aggre- gate, is larger than any outside inter- est ever before witnessed. But it trades in and out and is hard to land with stocks.
 There can be no question that lit tie distribution has been effected by the insiders in the upturn. They still have the bulk of stocks Their sin ews of war, however, are exceedingly strong for they got rid of all their undigested bonds at good prices and have plenty of funds with which to conduct a campaign in stocks.
 nave DCCn OA deals in the Street, but none of them have become public property in defi- mite form, and this mystery mas aprar- ently made a great many tralers sus- picious of the genuineness of the market.
 In the writer's estimation, these rumored deals are more of a theoTet- ical than practical nature. although practicability is by no means left out of the question But instead Of con solidations. etc, there is reason tc be lieve that the big. capitalists have been buying into the properties of one another to effect community of interest without violating the law hy Illegal combination.
 There is excellent reason for belicv' ing that the Standard oil party has been behiad the movement in the

ASSOCIATED PRESS SUMMARY
 GIVES KURoPATKIN PRAISE.

Associated Press SummaFy)
 Official information from Russian headuuarters in the field, supplement- ed by dispatches from the Associated Press correspondents with the army of the Russian Empire, show that Gen Kuropatkin, after suffering the most severe defeat of the war, has succeed ed, as he did after the battle of Lao Yang, in extricating the remnant ot his army from position which the military experts twenty-four hours be- fore believed would result in annihiia- tion or surrender.
 The retreat from Liao Yang has been considered the most masterly event of recent war history, but it is far overshadowed by this latest feat of the Russian general. who has taken personal command of his troops.
 After fighting for nearly three weeks losing in killed. wounded and missing. probably a third of his army, or nearly one hundred thousand Elen' and a fourth of his artillery. Kuropat- kin gathered what was left together north of Mukden and is taking them toward Tie Pass through rain of shrapnel which is being thrown on them from both right and left.
 This he seems to have been able to accomplish by resorting to the same tactics which saved his army at Ldao Yang. As recently as Thursday last he commenced sending his artillery north by rail and road That night he destroyed by fire what he realized could not be. removed. Even hospit- als containing the more seriously wounded were left behind so as not to hamper in any way the movements Of the army.
 This movement commenced on Frl- day morning, and as the Japanese forces on the east which were to join hands with the west army and cut off retreat did not cross Fushun until Sat urday morning, the Russians had full days start of their pursuers, and having no guns or baggage to delay them. seem to have made good their escape.
 There is still. however, chance of Gen. Kawamura's army taking hand in the battle, and should they strike the Russians at Tie Pass or cut their communications to the northward, dis aster to Gen. Kuropatkin's once line army will be complete.

NEW YORK STRIKE DISAS-
 TROUS TO MEN.

New York, March 11.-Real- izing that their fight against the Interborough has been lost, old employees of the Sub- way and Elevated railways to- day crowded the offices of the company, seeking reinstate- ment. Of 5000 who applied not more than 500 were accept / ed, the officials claiming to be satisfied with the men who had enabled them to break the strike. Messrs. Jenks and Pep per, the strike leaders, admit the strike is lost, and advise the men to go back.
 Jenks holds the press respon- sible for the result, contending the papers aroused hostile sen timent. Strikers bitterly de- nounce the leaders, saying the men were deceived by them.

army of the disfranchised-an ever increasing army-a hopeless army so far as the duties of full citizenship are concerned. because the poll tax qualification is cumulative. Even If one of the disqualified becomes 45 years of age, he cannot vote until he has paid all poll taxes that he had neg lected to pay.
 The size of the poll tax, and the manner of it's payment, and the effects of its non-payment upon the electorate is above and beyond tho statutory law, and if Alabama desires to get rid of the cumulative feature of the tax, or to change it in any manner the constitution must be amended. A body of disfranchised white citizens 100000 strong is certainly undesira- ble. and lne subject should receive at tention before the next legislature is elected.

Democratic Primaries.

Elsewhere this morning a prominent democrat of Livingston discusses an intricate and difficult subject-a sub ject, by the way, that the state exec utive committee should carefully con sider The subject Is rendered all the more difficult by the fact that there is practically speaking but one white mans party in this state. In states thus constituted it is difficult to draw the line at primaries.
 And yet party primary should not be infringed upon by persons outside of the party interested. The entire trouble arises over sudden and per haps convenient conversions. A man wno has been populist or republi- can or a socialist can on the day of the democratic primary declare q am a democrat" and as things stand he must be granted the right to vote at the primary. To keep his vote out would be arbitrarXsand despotic, and it would lead to abuses.
 Possibly, however. a rule can be devised that will prove satisfactory. A poll tax must be paid before the pre- ceeding February, and citizens vote in the proceeding election might be made a test of his politics at the sub seauent primary. Some rule or this kind seems to be necessary in order to give democrats control of their own primaries. No democrat likes to have his vote neutralzed by non-demo- crat at primary, and the state exec utive committee can certainly devise a rule that will be satisfactory With out being arbitrary or exclusive or detrimental to the propagation Of dem ocratic principles.
