New York, Aug. 1S.-Friday's wilt
scenes on the stock exchange were
repeated Saturday. The galleries
were crowded with spectators attract
ed by reports of Fridays excitement
due to the unexpected amount of divi-
dends declared on Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. These two stocks

tions. The whole market was affect
ed in sympathy.
Prices advanced buoyantly from
to 3 points on buying demand, such
as has not been witnessed in the
stock market since the bull period Of
April, 1901. Brokers apparently had
orders to buy unlimited amounts OF
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
and blocks of thousands of shares and
even of tens Of thousands of shares
were taen at any price demanded by
the sellers. Effervescent boiling up OF
prices in those two stock resulted.

to cities and towns were furnished by
municipality owned plants and private
corporations.
There are oighty-fOur cities in the
state and fOrty-nine of these own and
operate their own water works. thir-

deal more.

IS SOLVING THE MIDDLE
MORGAN INTERESTS WORK
in Order to Tighten the Financial
Burden Now Carried-Pere Mar
quette Lease to be Dropped.

Rumors are again thick as to the
probable outcome of the G.. C. & l..
and c. H. & D. tangle. A Chicago
dispatch says:
The Morgan interests are said to
be making progress in solving the
G. II. & d. problem. The intention
is said to be to get rid of the Chi
cagO, Cincinnati & Louisville, then If
the Pere Marquette can be relieved
Of the c. C. & l.. and the attendant
burden of bonded debt, the value of
the Pere Marquette stock, now held
by the c. H. & d. will be greatly en-
HANGED. Then if the latter road is
relieved of the costly lease OF the
Pere Marquette and can sell its hold
ings in that road to advantage, its
own stock would have a much higher
value.

The case is interesting and extra
ordinary. A party of about so Syrlans
applied for passage TO the United
States at Naples. Italy. Every one OF
them was found to be afflicted with
trachoma, and the steamship company
refused to accept them for passage to
this country. They were informed
that they could so to Mexico and then

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Congress met on Tuesday and Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent in long and
strong message In it he declares for
a graduated tax on inheritances and
incomes. He comes out strongly against
corporation gifts to campaign funds
and, as such bill has already been
passed by the Senate. his urgent appeals
are evidently directed to the House of
Representatives He advocates nation
al divorce law under the supervision Of
the national government. He is in
favor Of an eight hour law
He devotes considerable space to mob
violence and lynching, declaring in
connection herewith that the negro
criminal is the worst enemy Of his race.
The President does considerable
scolding, and is evidently Of the opinion
that the American people look upon
him as the one man who is altogether
perfect, He is very positive in his
opinions as TO the rights Of japanese to
attend our public schools but fails to
notice the claim made By the San
Francisco people that most Of the
Japanese who are claiming the privi-
lege of attending the public schools
are grown men. and these are not con-
sidered desirable associates for the
little American boys and girls who at
tend the public schools Of California.
Il is therefore manifest that he should
have suggested State law governing
the age Of those who attend the public
schools.
A large number Of bills have been
offered in Congress already and il looks
as If this short session will be very
busy one.

SNOW HILL. MD. DEC. :
GENERAL L. V. BAUCHMAN.

In the death of General Louis Victor
Baughman, of Frederick County. the
Democratic party of Maryland has sus-
tanned great loss, as he was a Demo
crat to the core, always willingly sacri-
fcing his own ambitions for the success
of the cause he so ably championed.
General Baughman was on the staff
of Governor Smith. He had twice
served the people as Comptroller of the
State Treasury. and was the Demo
cratic leader of Western Maryland for
quarter of century. He was hon
est, courageous and manly. His ambi-
ton was to be Governor of Maryland,
and on several occasions the prize
seemed to be within his grasp when he
gave way for others that the party
might be united. and some one of his
friends might have the honor he was
anxious to obtain for himself. Had he
lived another year and been in the en-
joymen, Of good health he would have
made vigorous campaign for the nomi.
nation. He had many friends in all
parts of the State who felt that he was
entitled to recognition. and would have
been glad to be numbered with his fol-
lowers.
On several occasions General Baugh-
man visited Worcester County. and his
eloquence stirred the Democracy Of this
county to greater efforts than il other
wise would have put forth to obtain
victory He was an orator whose
voice had proclaimed the principles Of
Democracy in many states. and in great
conventions of the party.
Peace to his ashes, and may his mem
DRY be cherished BY the faithful follow
ers Of jackson and jefferson.
