WILD SCENES AS
STOCKS GO DOWN
Confusion Follows Another Break
in Market-Rally Begins
After Noon.

New York, May 2.-Prices were
smashed at the opening OF the stock
market today as result of the contin-
uance of the heavy selling which began
yesterday afternoon. The rush to dis
pose of securities seemed to indicate
that liquidation of an important char
acter was under way and speculative
holders of stocks generally became
alarmed and made precipitate rush to
get out of the market.
The first hour on the exchange was
marked by scenes Of wild confusion.
The excitement was greatest around the
United States Steel, Amalgamated Cop
per, Union Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and Reading trading posts,
these stocks largely bearing the brunt
Of the early attack.
The noise and confusion was so great
as to be heard almost block away,
and the visitors gallery of the ex-
change was soon filed with sightseers.
Toward l o'clock the market rallied
sharply and some shares sold above last
nights prices.
The early rate for call money was 8
per cent. 49,.
Another Slump.
The market rallied shortly after noon
and there were substantial gains in the
stock list. Before O CLOCK, however
it started down, gains being lost, while

Chicago, May 2.--The city hall was
condemned today as dangerous to, the
health Of it's occupants and Chief San
itary Inspector Hedrick said that it
should be vacated at once. Several
months ago the county building, which
adjoined the city hall on the east, was
torn down to permit the erection of a
new structure, and because of this the
walls of the city hall settled several
inches causing much of the plumbing
to become disjointed. e.s
Inspector Hedrick said today that. the
building was SO filed with poisonous
gases that it is dangerous to health.

LESE MAESTE IN

Report Says Uncomplimentary
Remarks Regarding Gear
Got to Rulers Ears.

St. Petersburg, May 2.-The resigna-
ton of Count Witte as premier has been
accepted. He will be succeeded by
M. Goremykin, former minister Of the
interior. The official announcement Of
the changes in the cabinet will be made
tomorrow.
The town is full Of stories furnish
ing reasons for the emperor's sudden
determination to accept Premier
Whites resignation. One attributes it
to talebearing by the vice director of
the gendarmerie, M. Rotchkoffsky, who
was favored with Count Whites con-
fidence, and repeated to the emperor
unfattering remarks made by the pre-
mier regarding his sovereign.
The plausible theory is advanced at
court that Count Whites dismissal is
not a move in the direction of reac-
ton. but really is due to. Emperor
Nicholas desire to put himself in line
with the result of the elections, and
that his purpose is to reorganize the
cabinet to meet the new conditions by
the inclusion of some constitutional
democrats, tho the leader Of the min
istry will be Of the emperor's own

TACKLE GOPH HERS
ON NOVEMBER II
Final Agreement on. the Date
Was Settled by Wire
Today.
No Chance Of Chicago Came
Nebraska to Play Here
| Nov. 3.
By O'Loughlin.

"There is football news today
There is much doing Just now In the
way of making the gopher schedule for
1906. The first bit of news is that
play Minnesota on Northrop field on
Nov. II. Nebraska comes on Nov. 3.
The second bit is not SO cheering. to
Minnesota rooters, because it brings
the information, that there Is small
chance, If any, of a game with Chicago.
The reform element of the Chicago
institution have the whip hand and
have decreed that Chicago's game with
Michigan be cancelled. This was done
with an idea of lessening what they
term the professional idea Of eompe-
gan game the maroon authorities point
out that they could hardly take on
Minnesota. Chicago now has the poor
est-looking schedule of any western
team. Coach Stagg was in favor of
giving Minnesota place this year, but
the governors overruled his wishes.
Honor for Gophers.
Manager Reed has been dickering
with the Carlisle team for about three
months about game with the gophers,
but not until today was the deal closed
and the date agreed upon. Carlisle
comes to- Northrop field for the first
game, and it is something OF an honor
that the first big eastern team to come
west in recent years chooses to visit
Minnesota. +. 49, a,
Nebraska, with every, early indica-
ton of having stronger team than
last season, comes on Nov. 3. This will
give the gophers time to get into con-
dition for the Carlisle game after dis
posing Of the western team. The play
ing season is limited to five games by
the big nine conference rules, and the
! gopher authorities will try to build up
as strong schedule as possible. There
is some doubt of game with Iowa
and Wisconsin. Michigan and Chicago
are out of the question thru conference
action.
4 The Minnesota scheduIe-makers are
carrying on an extensive correspond.
ence in the schedule-making, and do
not care to talk of plans for games un-
til the dates are closed and contracts
signed. They are working diligently
and the rooters may rest assured that
the five games Of 1906 will be the best
possible to secure.
Wisconsin Consistency
There is much unfavorable talk to.
day over Wisconsin s attitude. The
badgers started this idea of strangline
the big games in the west. Today Wis
consin is heralded as scheduling a game
with Nebraska and angling for a big
eastern game. Gopher advocates were
never in favor of knocking out the
big games, but suffer thru. Wisconsin e
action. Now the instigators of the
canceling of the games appear to be
out to build up as stiff schedule at
that of any team in the west.

DISEASES SPREAD BY
ELECTRIC LIGHT BUGS
Journal Special Service.

Milwaukee, May 2.-Building Inspec-
tor Koch has discovered tuberculosis
disseminating against which will be
brought to the attention Of the tuber-
culosis convention. It is the electric
light bug an insect which often grows
three inches in length and which may
be seen flying around arc lights any
night in summer
During REORGANIZATION of drains and
manholes he found that these insects
live in manholes IN the vicinity Of arc
lights
Their food appears to consist entirely
of slime which has accumulated along
the walls of smanholes, and when they
fly out in the evening they undoubtedly
are an important factor in spreading
disease, he declares.
