Collision as Usual Occurred Between Workmen, Police and Cendarmes
 at St Petersburg
CROWD TALKED LYNCHINc
The Nobles Have Formed ar Organization For the Protection
 of Their Property.

St Petersburg, July 16- Sunday night witnessed the usual collision be- tween workmen and police and gen. darmes in the industrial quarters of the capital. The most serious affair oc- cured on the Schlusselburg road where crowd of 5000 persons at tackled steam street car which ran over a drunken soldier. The crowd stopped the car with the intention of lynching the engineer and conductor, but were finally dissuaded by the pa cific counSels of a workman.
 The nobles having large estates, un- der the leadership of Count Ignatieff, former governor of Kletf, prince Kas- satkin Postovsky and NJ. Golovin, president of the Moscow Zemstyo, have formed an organization for the mutual protection of their properties, both against appropriation by law and despoilation by the peasants.
 St Petersburg, July 16.-The yari- ous groups in parliament are system atically sending members into the country, campaigning in favor of the prestige of parliament From the first by tacit understanding no roll calls have been taken in the lower house in order that should reaction again get the upper hand the govern ment will have no record of the votes with which to prosecute members
 The election committee of the low CT house has decided that the election of NJ. Yerogin of Brest-Litovsko was illegal and has recommended that he be unseated.
 Representatives in parliament of the various regions of the empire are uniting irrespective of party affilia- ton for the advancement of their local interests. The Armenians. Tar tars. Georgians and Cossacks of the Caucasus have formed separate group and the Little Russians have also united. The Poles and the mem- bers from the Baltic provinces were previously organized. This move ment shows plainly drift towards decentralization and indicates the natural tendency towards the disin- tegration of the vast empire. once the grip of the central authority is broken.

LOOKING FOR THE MESSAGE
Belief That 1t May Have Good
Effect.
MONEY RATES STILL HIGH
Expect a Reduction in the English
Bank Rate Before the End
of the Month.

NEW YORK, December st was by no
means easy to assign specific reasons for
the very strong tone which the stock mar
ket exhibited during the larger part of the
day For one thing. Congress met. and the
deliberations of that body have not usually
been regarded as an influence upon the con-
structve side of the speculative account
For some reason Wall street obtained an
idea. however, that the Presidents mes
sage might far from acting as a dis
turbtng document, be reckoned upon as an
influence in the opposite direction, and this
view Of the matter had some effect upon
sentiment.
The main fact in the days case was the
continued activity in the days money mar
ket, where the bulk of the days borrowing
on call was arranged between 10 and IA
per cent. Renewal rates on standing loans
were early fixed at 10 per cent. figure
which was quite commonly accepted by
the borrowers. This mornings figures or
the operations between the banks and the
subtreasury showed loss by the former
OF more than 81 100000. a sum nearly $780,
Oo0 in excess of the whole total of the sur
plus reserves of the banks as was shown In
Saturdays statement.
The further sharp break in Sterling Elk
change ana the continued TelaAdlIoH III
the London money market were commented
upon, however, as counterbalanclng rae
tors in the general monetary situation
Discount rates in the open London market
were quoted today fully one-haf per cent
below the banks minimum discount nS-
ure, and an idea prevailed there that some
reduction in the banks rate might be made
before the end of the present month Inc
bank managed to secure today the whole
OF the s5Oo,0oO gold which arrived
from South Africa. The London stock
market was accordingly firm in most de-
partments. with noteworthy strength In
American stocks. and upward of 10000
shares were bought here for foreign &C
count within the course of the morning

there seemed to be little to be named in

stances 1t was true, nevertheless, that
large number of extensive advances took
place at time or another during the

increase in activity in comparison with
Thursdays and Fridays totals. although

Divorce Among Africans.

In Accordance With Custom.

Assistant Secretary Keep Of the treasury,
who made up the estimates of the District
of Columbia in the annual report Of Secre-
tary Shaw. stated this afternoon that the
reduction in the estimate was in keeping
with the policy heretofore pursued by the
treasury. That IS the estimates were cut
down to double the amount of the esti-
mated revenues Of the District Of Columbia
for the next fiscal year. He said that such
had been done in the past and the treas
ury was following its custom.
Secretary Shaw made q similar state
ment as to the reduction of the estimates
of the District. The treasury deemed 1t
unwise that appropriations should be made
for the District in excess of its receipts
and Of the amount contributed by Con-
gress for the benefit of the District. Sec
rotary Shaw said that such had been done
in every report for the past few years.

A Great Comet Due in 1910.
rom Leslie's Weekly


The most famous Of all comets, though
not the largest and most brilliant, will
again be visible in 1910. This Is Halleys
comet, so called from its Identification by
the great astronomer who was the friend
Of Sir Isaac Newton. Halley's investiga-
tons of astronomical records led him to
assert that the comet which he had OBJ
served in 1882 had appeared in 1881 and
1907, and to predict its temperance in
1859. The fulfillment of his prophecy ex-
cited the most intense scientific interest
and established beyond doubt the period
lefty of comets and their movement in
orbits determined by the law Of gravita-
ton. Its last appearance was in 1885, it's
period varying between seventy-five and
seventy-six years on account of the per-
turbing attractions Of Jupiter and Saturn
In certain parts of it's orbit. 1t was by that
time possible to calculate its movements
with so much greater accuracy than before
that 1t made its perihelion passage within
four days of the predicted date. It was
not then a very grand object to the naked
eye. but the light Of its nucleus surpassed
that of second-magnitude stars and was
comparable with that of some reddish stars
OF the first magnitude, such as Aldebaran
and Antares It's TAIL while the comet was
approaching the sun. attained to q length of
twenty degrees.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The course of the trading at today's
meeting Of the stock exchange was un-
eventful and there was nothing either In
respect to the volume Of the transactions
nor the prices paid that was Of much con-
sequence.
Better prices were paid for Mergenthaler
in the case of the slight trading that was
done in that security, but the advance Is
supposed to reflect the near approach Of
the quarterly dividend day. As high as
2OS was paid for a quotation lot OF ten
shares. and at the close the asking price
was half q point in advance of that figure.
while the bid was 20Ih.
A good deal of uncertainty was mani
tested in the attempts that were made to
deal In the common stock OF the Washing,
ton Railway and Electric Company, ana
there was apparently at the outset q good
deal of doubt as to exactly what the level
for the day would be.
In consequence the bid began some dis
lance below the closing bid OF Saturday.
which was 43, and sale was made on that
level. The asking price was for time only
Is Of a point above the bid but there was
but little done. A bid Of 431a was made for
an option on LOCO shares or for any part
without eliciting an offer of such a lot.

higher level than has prevailed recently ana
INDICATING probably the state OF the market
For the first time the warrants for the
new stock issue of the Union Trust Com
pany was quoted and the asking price was
122, which was based on the first installment
of $40 paid in the value of the rights at So
per share. For three shares the latter
would amount to s24. which, apporttsned be-
tween the two shares of the new stock.
would amount to S12 for each share. The
latter added to the $40 already paid In
makes the value of the warrants as repre-
sented by the above asking price.
The bid for the warrants reached 119h.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December Sin the opinion
Of some Of the best informed spectators
tho stock market this month will be gov
erned more by the condition of the money
market than by what may take place at
Washington. 1t Is believed that the supply
OF money at this center will steadily In
crease and that the market as whole will
display considerable strength. Brokers who
are apparently In close touch with Wash
ington confidently assert that a currency
bill will be passed during the early part OF
the session.
1t Is intimated that the greatest activity
during the present month will be in Union
Pacific, st. Paul. Canadian Pacific, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, in all OF
which special distributions Of profits and
assets are looked for. 1t IL claimed that
the market strength Of Canadian Pacific
in the London market this morning 10 due
chiefly to the fact that within a compare
lively short time the company will issue
another installment of stock on favorable
terms to its shareholders for the purpose
Of providing more funds for the extension
work under way and In contemplation
It Is predicted, also, that the ST. Paul man
agement will put out another block of
Pacific coast extension. 1t is now assumed
In well-informed circles that 1t is only q
question Of time when the additional
'melon" for Great Northern shareholders
will be announced and when announcement
will be made that the Northern Paciic
stockholders will receive a large cash divi-
dend. While the statements are not as posi-
tive as in the case of St. Paul and Canadian
Pacific, it seems to be believed still that
Union Pacific stockholders are to receive
rights on new stock or an extra distribution
of assets in some form.
The recent heavy buying Of Missouri
Kansas and Texas shares is understood to
have been due to important plans which
are being worked out and to the desire of
competing Interests to get control Of the
property. The buying of Mexican Central
and National railroad preferred undoubt-
eddy has been by interests which are in
close touch with the negotiations in prog
ress looking to government control of the
Central as well as the National.
Although the United States Steel stocks
have been comparatively inactive for some
time, 1t is predicted that they will assume
more prominent position in the near
future. Steel authorities say that the con-
dition of the iron and steel trade is not
only as strong as it has been at any time
during many months back. but that 1t is
actually improving steadily.
