HOUR WAS VERY ACTIVE.
Market Weakened Under Realizing
Sales-General List Hesitated at
Advance of u. P.

NEW YORK. January 16-The majority
of stocks today started higher than on
Saturday, but there were a few important
exceptions, including Pennsylvania, Bal
timore & Ohio, st. Paul and Rock Island.
The taking of 5000 shares of Union Pacific
lifted it g. There were gains of about a
point in Louisville and Nashville, General
Electric and Pacific Mail and of IS in
Smelling.
Business during the first hour was very
active especially in Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. The steady absorption of
thousands of shares of these leaders had
an inspiring effect on other stocks and the
entire market responded sharply. Stocks
identified with the iron and steel trade
made good showing.
The principal advances were st. Paul,
Nashville. Chattanooga and St Louis, Ma
tional Railroad of Mexico preferred, Chi
cago Union Traction preferred, Colorado
Fuel. Smelling, Westinghouse Electric and
kntckerbocker Ice preferred l. Union Pa
cifc, Pressed Steel Car and Duluth, South

cially the coalers and eastern railroads.

were firm at noon.
Various specialties We're bid up vigorously
at intervals, particularly the leading metal
stocks. United States Steel preferred was
lifted to 95, and Tennessee Coal also gained
point. The railroad stocks were rather
quiet around midday, but were ruling well
up to the best. The Wisconsin Central
stocks rose point, and Northwestern fell
Off as much.
Stocks were under pressure during the
greater part of the afternoon. Practically
all of the rise in Union Pacific was lost
and Southern Pacific was driven below last
weeks close. Des Moines and Fort Dodge

FOR TARIFF REVISION.
Resolution Adopted by the Wisconsin
Representatives.

Wisconsin and Minnesota are still keeping
up the fight for tariff revision. The Wis
consin republicans in the House met Satur-
day afternoon and adopted resolution re-
citing the pledges of the republican plat
forms of 1896 and 1904. and announcing that
1--WE believe that conditions regarding the
cost Of production have so changed since
the Ding1ey law was enacted, eight years
ago. that the rates of duty provided for In
certain schedules represent more than the
difference In cost of production between ar
ticies manufactured In this country and
abroad. It was resolved,
THAT the republican members of the
Wisconsin delegation in the House of Rep.
resentatiyes favor an early revision of those
schedules in the Dingley act which are
higher than is necessary to afford adequate
protection"

STEAMBOAT RULES.
Transportation Companies Object to
Their Enforcement.

About one hundred representatives Of the
water transportation routes of the United
States, who are members of the National
Board Of Steam Navigation, gathered in
the Office of the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor this morning at 8 o'clock to present
their views regarding the adoption of the
new rules prepared by the board of super
yising steamboat inspectors at it's recent
session in this city.
These gentlemen come from the east and
west. the north and the south, and nearly
every revision of the rules regarding the
operation of steamboats, is to be in some
manner made the object of attack by some
one or other representing the various COM
panies.
Secretary Metcalf was assisted by Assist
ant Secretary Murray and by George
thler. supervising inspector general of the
steamboat Inspection service, all three of
these government officials earnestly advo-
eating the adoption of the rules as they
have been prepared. The rule referring to
the carrying of life preservers by ferry
boats was the object of much discussion,
many of the representatives Directing
vigorously to it as 1t stands. AS set forth
by the board the rule reads:
''All ferry boats shall be equipped with a
life preserver or float for every person car
ried. and such preseryerS or floats shall be
distributed in the most accessible places
where they can be reached at all times and
II shall be the duty of the local inspectors
to see that all the life preservers or floats
are marked with the name of the vessel
having the same on board
General Uhler said that for years it has
been the emphatic demand that every man,
woman and child shall have a chance and
that there shall be preserver for every
human being on board, so that he may use
1t If he has occasion for 1t. 1t is not ques-
ton. he told the representatives. of space
or anything else. The preservers ought to
be there, and the board had made the rule
so as to give every one chance for his
life in case of disaster overtaking the YES
sci on which he was passenger.
The trend OF all the arguments seemed to
be principally the difficulty of finding space
Tor the preservers and the destruction of
the beauty of the boats. particularly of
those OF the companies which owned very
handsomely decorated steamers

Resseau Says Police Thought He Had
Nothing to Tell.
leoial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. January 16.-Gess-
Ter Resseau, dynamiter. in Jail here, was
sorry today that he had confessed to at
tempting to blow UP the statue of Freder-
lex the Great in Washington and the
steamship Umbria in New York
THE kindness of the police betrayed me
into making a confession" said Resseau to
his turnkey this morning. They told me
/ did not have to answer IL l didn't want
to. They seemed to think / had nothing
important to tell them, but / guess I sur
prised EN- a bit. I'm sorry though now,
that L let the cat out of the bag. They
would have had hard time finding it on
me otherwise"
Resseau will have hearing Friday when
he will be held for arrival of extradition
papers from New York. These are expected
soon. Captain of Detectives Donaghy said
today he was through with Resseau and
would let the New York and Washington

Presidents reviewing stand in the ellipse
back of the White House. Messrs. Larner
AMI Brown made strong representations in
support OF the plan. but it is understood
tfat all the others expressed decided pref
erence for the customary and familiar line
of march up 18th street and the Pennsyl-
vania avenue front of the White House 1t
is understood that the army officers ar
ranging the inaugural parade consider the
use OF the ellipse for reviewing purposes
as undesirable. mainly because of the con-
formation of the ground.
1t is contended that there are too many
turns and that the straight line essential
to a proper review would be manifestly
too short for anything like proper
movement of the troops Objection was
also raised to the means of entrance and
exit. as well as to the difficulty of pro-
Viding proper means of shelter from wind
and rain without great expense.
For these and other reasons not yet dis
closed it is understood that Lieut.. Gen.
Chaffee. at the next meeting of the in
augural executive committee, will oppose
the plan of having the parade reviewed
from stand in the White House ellipSe.
Although Gen. Wilson chairman of the
executive committee, has not yet publicly
committed himself with respect to this
proposition. there is good reason to be-
heve that he agrees with his military as
sociates as to the superiority of the old
line of march in front of the White
House
