REPRIMANDED By GEAR.
Regiment Of Which the Emperor is
Titular Colonel.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 27.-The conn.,
mander OF the ultra-loyal Preobrajensky
regiment. to which belong the men who
recently held meeting in the guard camp
at Krasnoye-Selo and drew up resolutions
addressed to their commander uphoiding
all the actions of parliament and declaring
that they want no more police duty entail
ing the staying OF brother or father, has
been severely reprimanded by the emperor
The severe reprimand which Emperor
Nicholas felt called upon to administer to
the commander OF the first and most hon.
ored regiment In the Russian service Is the
clearest comment possible on the serious
spread Of the revolutionary propaganda In
the army.
The PreobraJensky is the oldest regiment
of the guards and has first choice each
year in the seIectioii of recruits throughout
the whole empire. The emperor Is titular
colonel OF the regiment and almost In
variably wears its uniform on state occa-
sions.
The demands OF the men. which were
published in full today, show clearly by
their adoption of the motto. "One for all.
All for one" that the movement was en-
gineered by revolutionists.
These words always form the concluding
phrase of the proclamations and literature
tionists. The demands of the LIST Battalion
were adopted at meeting held in the bar
racks yard In open defiance of their ofh-

Ger OF the day or their own company off,

NEW YORK, June N.-Todays stock
market made momentary show OF
strength at the opening of business, but 1t
very quickly developed the same irregular
and reactionary tendencies which have of
late been its Distinguishing characteristics.
The opening tone seemed to be q little
more than continuation of the rally in
prices which under way at the close
OF bushes yesterday and which, presuma-
bly,. reflected nothing more than the cover
ing of short contracts. There was a virtual
absence of news over night Of general or
particular Importance to be cited In con-
nection with the course of the stock mar
ket
The London stock market was strong In
all departments and the arbitrage houses
were buyers here to the extent of about
10000 shares. but these purchases were
more than counterbalanced by the resump-
ton of local liquidation.
Speculative sentiment was considerably
influenced by the pronounced weakness Of
St Paul which was assumed to mean that
there would be no announcement made at
today's meeting of the directors with re-
gard to the much talked about financial
plans of the company in connection with
Its extension to the Pacific coast
The further very sharp decline in Inter-
borough metropolitan was also discon-
certing factor in the trading, particularly
as the movement in that stock was accom-
panied by assertions as to the heavy losses
which have been suffered by some of the
pool members.
The other traction shares were heavy in
sympathy with marlborough Metropolitan
The Industrial and miscellaneous stocks
opened firm in common with the general
market and similarly showed later more
or less extensive declines.
The leading features In respect Of activity
were Amalgamated Copper. the United
States Steel stocks, Colorado Fuel and Iron
and American Smelling In the railway
list. dealings were largest in Union Pa
cifc, ST. Paul, Baltimore and Ohio, Read
ing. Ontario and Western and Texas and
Pacific
The two last named were exceptionally
strong, Ontario and Western rising on op-
timtstic predictions regarding the dividend
declared today.
No special news or gossip accompanied
the sudden outburst OF animation In Texas
and Pacific. Today's money market showed
distinctly f1rmer tone. with the rate for
loans, running into the new year. advancing
to So per cent.
The call loan money market was harder
also, but that was to be expected in view of
the necessary shifting Of loans in advance
OF the July disbursements The days ad-
vices relating to the progress of the crops
were indecisive and the grain market moved
trregularly.

sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Appropriation for Jamestown EXPOSE
ton Agreed Upon.

The conferees agreed upon nearly all the
amendments of the Senate to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. The Senate amend
ment which struck from the bill the House
provision that the expenses Of the United

should be divided on the half and half prin-
cipai between the United States and the

AS the bill now stands the District of CO.
lumbia will pay half OF ell such expenses,
although In states the United States pays

nue. and the Mall and for the erection there
on Of buildings for the Department of
