Trading Again in Moderate Volume
 Fluctuations Narrow.

IEAu1NE ARHtu HI hOuGHHtG FpAuAA
 Fluctuations Narrow.
 New York, June 13.--In its main es- sentials to-days stock market was but a repetition of those of the early week. Trading was again in very moderate volume fluctuations were for the most part exceedingly narrow and the bulk of the business was, if possible, even more professional. Of outside interest there was none, a fact to which the managers of the large commission houses reluctantly testified. Traders and the professional element were almost unanimously inclined to take a bearish view and the few bulls were less enthusiastic than they had been recently. The news of the day, while again lacking in specific detail was not of the character calculated to make for higher prices Crop conditions were the subject of greatest interest, there being fast growing impression that the situation in the western states Is not distinctly favorable to large yields, due allowances being made, however, for the usual scare reports and other forms of exaggeration, Another unfav- orable influence was the heaviness of the United States Steel issues. These stocks have not been very active re- gently, but the pressure directed against them to-day was so persistent as to provoke comment. The down ward tendency of these shares was doubtless accounted for In part, if not entirely, by the testimony of those in a position to know that the business in all branches of this industry, except steel rails, is on the decline, as con- pared with the unprecedented activity of the past year. The few bull points that developed in the course of the day went by unnoticed. The reaction which followed the strong and active opening in the local grain markets was also without effect in the securities market. St. Paul was again the only stock that displayed decided strength, the other active issues, with few exceptions, showing marked weakness In the final dealings the selling pressure became So acute as to wipe out St. Paul's gain ana TeuuC5 tue BelIeTdl leVel HldI6rldlly below the previous days closing. The greatst wakness was In the Hill stocks, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Mis- souri Pacific, Chicago Great Western B, Kansas and Texas pf., Louisville and Nashville and Brooklyn Transit. The movement of the foreign markets were generally like our own in point of weakness. A smart advance occurred in rentes at Paris, with a simultaneous advance Tn exchange on London, while at Berlin the private rate of discount went up a small fraction. Late inci- dents of the day included an increase from 2 to ? 1-2 per cent. on the dlvi- dend on the preferred stock of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis (Pan-Handle) road, and the pub lication of the Western Union Tele- graphs earnings for the year, with June estimated. The figures indicated a slight falling off in net, and prob able decrease of about $2OOOO0 in the years surplus.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value, $2,470000.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on call.

TO CLOSE GAMBLING HOUSES.
New Era of Things is Promised for
 Hot Sprfngs.


 Hot Springs. Ark, April 5.--Tomor- row all gambling houses here will be closed Today Governor Davis ap- pointed w. T. Scoggins as proserut- ing attorney of the district. an office which has been vacant since the death of District Attorney Morrison last Feb ruary. This appoin.inent was made after a conference between Governor Davis and Local Ministers. The fol lowing signed statement was issued tonight by MT. scoggins:
 Il hereby notify all managers. own CTS or manipulators of gambling hous- es in the city of Hot Springs that l shall expect each and every gambling house to close on the morning of April 6, 1906. And. ir any such house should remain open that day, or thereafter, I shall proceed against the same and shall ask the court to have all gambling devices Of all kinds burn ed, according to law. If after three days after publication or this notice any gambling device or parapherns- lia whatever prohibited by law, shall be found in this judicial district. I shall ask that all of the same be burned ac- cording to law"
 Reports that the prosecuting attor- ney would be resisted by the gambling g fraternity. and that 1t would be nec- essary to call out troops. is without foundation. Club owners say the or ders of the attorney will be obeyed. Two of the largest clubs, the Arkansas and Indiana voluntarily closed their doors today
 The only question that Is likely ~o arise, Is in regard to the closing of the pool rooms and the race tracks. There is wide difference of opinion among attorneys as to whether these can be closed as there is no specific State law prohibiting the making of books or selling of pools on horse racing.
 ed tonight he probably would take no action against the 0aklawn race meet ing inasmuch as 1t would be closed within a week.

 An international conference was. We thought, the best means peacefully to attain these aims. So great was our confidence In our firm basis of right that we entered into the conference knowing that three great powers were tied to France by special agreements and that 4 fourth was her ally. We had to pres our desires against the ma jority of the great powers and desire to acknowledge the firmness and te- nacity with which the German deie- gates held to our just demands.
 France has been as conciliatory as Germany in striving to find solution for the police question and in future we can now go forward quietly as the result of the conference is as satisfac- tory to Germany as 1t is 10 France and to all civilized lands"

ALLIANCE IS PROPOSED.
Plan to Prevent ProroEation of Pariia.
 ment at Opening.

ment at Openfng.
 St. Petersburg. April 5.--The victo- ries of the Constitutional Democrats have been followed by proposition for a coalition of the, Constitutional Democrats. the Moderates and the Octo- berists under the leadership of Ivan Petrunkevitch. who is a candidate for President of the lower house, and M. Shipoff, a prominent Zemstvo leader. The plan would insure a clear majority in the lower house of parliameit to re- sist any attempt on. the part of the Gov ernment to prorogue 1t immediately on its assembling.
 The first act of the Government after the result Of the recent election became known was to tighten the screws on the press. Some of the worst features of the old censorship have been restor- ed. The papers must again submit copies of their editions before they are distributed and the expedient of chang ing a papers name when suspended has been forbidden. likewise the device so successfully practiced by the Socialist organ, Vorwaerts in Germany, in hir- ing series of prison editors" The Council of the Empire today also hur- riedly adopted a law by II to votes, punishing with a years imprisonment the publication. of false reports which affect the credit of the country at large.
 In the country the large land owners who control the provincial and zemstvo elections to the Council of the Empire have thus far only chosen strong Con- servatives. The province of St. Peters, burg elected Baron Korff. head of the St. Petersburg Zemstvo Committee. and the province of Chernigoff elected M. Krasoffsal. both Octoberists. The prov ince of Tula elected M. Leashoff, an avowed Reactionist.

No one here has any patentt which would justify him in assuming to speak in that capacity. l know of no one here who Is opposed to proper legislation and there can be no prop CT classification of some IS friends as of others as enemies.
 Mir. Foraker replied in conciliatory manner to Mir Dolliers complaint rela- tive to the character of the debate Tuesday, saying that for the most part 1t had consisted of good natured rail- lery directed at the senior senator from Iowa, MT. Allison.
 Likes tO Suit Allison.
 Tt is so seldom.s he said, that we get an opportunity to say anything about him that most of us enjoy an op- portunity to say something at his ex- pense." He expressed his regret at not being able to agree with the president concerning the details of the pending Legislation and reiterated his high re- gard for him.
 T consider him." he said, "one of the most sincere, outspoken, fearless and aggressive men that l have ever known, but that is not saying that he Is never In error. as l believe he is now"
 By the time Mir Allison arose. the Senate was in a thoroughly good humor and his remarks though brief were of a character to add materially to the good feeling He said that he considered the discussion of Tuesday as entirely good natured, but that he had all along been of the opinion that 1t has been at the expense of Mir. Foraker and Mir Bailey and not at his own expense as Mir Foraker had declared.
 The Ohio senator now proclaims that he got off with flying colors,' said MT. Allison. T had not thought so but I am perfectly willing to assert that he did. if that will satisfy him and to say that the colloauy was all at my own expense"
 The Senate then at p. m, went into executive session and adjourned twelve minutes later.
 Washington, April 1.-Two Demo- cratic senators. Daniel of Virginia, and Overp1an. of North Carolina. had a conference with the President today on the subject of railroad rate legislation They were requested by the President to call at the White House. Neither Senator Daniel nor Senator Overman would discuss the conference they had with the President.

NARROW ESCAPE OF
 SUPERINTENDENT 6ENN,E.

On Tuesday afternoon last, while driving down from Morenci, Manager Bennie of the Shannon Company. met with an accident which came very near ending quite seriously. He was driving somewhat spirited animal and pust before making the turn a. the foot of the hin near the Coronado railroad, it became frightened at an ore train approaching from the rear and soon became unmanageable. The wagon road for a short distance parallels the railroad track, and then curves sharply to the right. but the horse keep a straight course, and as a consequence the horse, carriage and driver turned turtle" into the ditch alongside of the railway. Fortunately the ditch was full of dry taillngs. which afforded safe lighting place and therefore but little damage was done, except to MT. Bennie's feelings, which can better be imagined than
 described. The train was stopped and MT. Bennie taken aboard and brought to town.-Clifton Era. f,
