A Record Breaker.

Nearly raooo imrigrants. Il en-

were large steamers aud the immi-
grafton inspectors Were utterly una

commanders OF the vessels that it was
no use to land their steerage pssssn-

record breaker. Never before have so
many migrants come iuto any port
OF the Udited States in one day.
The immigrants on the whole are
said to be asuPerior looking crowd.
Among them are many Women ard

Would Perjurs Themselves.

The special investigation Of the
question of regulating railroad rates
by the Federal government, was be-
gun, by the Senate Committee on IN
terstate commerce, in Washington on
last Tuesday. Some interesting de-
velopments we've gathered from Mr..
Victor Morawetz. chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Atchison
and Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. In
reply TO question, by Senator FL
kins, chairman OF the committee, as
to whether 1t would be wise to re-
quire railroad officials to declare on
oath every three mouths, that they
had not violated or abused the Inter
state Commerce law, he said that If
such tule was enforced railroad uieu
would either peIjure themselves or
else honest men would not serve in
such capacity.
Mr. Elkins further asked If he
thought it would purify the law
to require such sworn statements. Mr..
Moruwetz was emphatic in his ans
wer.
mo, sir. ii would not 1.-The ef-
feet of such law would be that some
men would perjure themselves. Some
men who felt afraid Of perjuring them
selves who were thoroughly honest
would not take the Office. You can
not keep people straight bv requiring
them to take an oath. every three
months. / think the effect OF such
leg islation would be to keep honest
men from taking office. "
To this Senator Elkius retorted
quickly that no difficulty would be
experienced in inducing men to take
these Offices at salaries OF sas. 900 n
year.

ED MONEY SITUATION.

New York, Oct. G.-SpecuIative in
terest pretty well died out of the mar.
l1et today and the determination seem
ed to be reached to await more de-
finite outcome of the money situation
The rate for call loans did not rise TIC
the high level of yesterday but the
average at which call money was
placed was above that of yesterday.
Some of the best companies were
reported to be calling loans and this
gave the impression that these insti-
tutions had about reached the limit Of
their ability to relieve the borrowers
from banks by transfer of loans, the
process Of which has CINE on steadily
for several weeks past.
This being the case and with the de-
pletion of the bank reserves still unin-
terrupted an actual contraction of
credits would be indicated for imme-
date future rather than shifting about
of accommodations to enable the bank
to preserve a sembance of the sur
plus which has gone up to this time
The sub treasury has taken from the
banks thus far this week only 81 ACT,

TO the stiff money market Exports Of
wheat for the week showed decline
of 9992.280 bushels from those of last

grain bills in the exchange market.
The early downward movement Of
stocks was generally recovered before
the end Of the day on dull buying move
ment, The. closing was irregular.
