The London Market.

London, March 15.-During the early trading on the stock exchange to-day prices in the American market were marked up by points, without much business but with quotations improving which resulted in some buying by houses which had left Americans alone for years. and also by continental bankers and investors who were attracted by their cheap ness. The higher priced American stocks opened at 3 to z points above New York parity and fluctuated wide ly Unin Pacific opened at 1855 and soon went up 137. but lost 1. Atch- ison.

Consolls were little below yesterdays closing quotation at the opening of the market to-day but they gained upon the appearance on the floor of a government broker as buyer, under wnose influence prices went up to Is above yester- days closing price. In the foreign section prices were steady. Three unimportant failures of stock brokers were announced. The American bankers and brokers here are entirely unable to account for the nervous condition of the market and can only explain to their clients that the operators in New York are also at sea.

ARMOR MUST GO
This Old Time Shield No Long, CT a Feature of the French
 Army
FAMOUS IN HISTORY


 Modern war methods and weapons have at last proved the undoing of the pet organization of the French army, the cuirassiers It has been finally de- creed that the armored soldier will in few months be only thing of mem. ory.
 The showy soldier on horseback wearing his flashing breastplate of steel, with brass piece in the cen ter, has ever been the idol of the show-loving French nation, and the winner of some of its greatest bat ties. but modern methods of warfare have put out of commission the equip ment that comes down from the Mid dle Ages
 No cuirass, no matter how craftily wrought, could resist the bullet of to- day, and so Gen. de Negrier, French minister of war. has decreed that the 13 regiments of cuirassiers must be mustered out, their horses used for the batteries of field artillery. which the department is rapidly organizing. and the men themselves either turned adrift or given places in other branches of the artillery
 The fact is the cuirass has passed its usefulness. Every recent war has shown that. Fifty years of battle show not war in which the armored scl- dier has been successful. In our own civil war neither of the contestants made use of armored warriors.
 Napoleon III. did turn the cuiras- siers loose in the Franco.Prussian war, but though they fought with un- equaled bravery at Gravelotte. where they bore the brunt of the most spec tacular charge of the struggle. their courage could not make up for their somewhat outworn equipment. More over, they were fighting against bet ter men better guns and better horses.
 In the frightful carnage of Grave lotte the cuirassiers sustained the greater part of the damage and whole companies were wiped out. At the end of the struggle, when the reor- ganizaton of the French army began. some of the experts. who were far sighted. were for abolishing the cuir- assiers then, but the sentiment of the

Calls Stock Market Slump a
 New York Affair and Says It Will Not Affect Them
NO RAISE IN RATE
Dumping of Spectators Says the Chicago Men Will Do inc Nation good. Against Railroads
 the Cause of Trouble.

Chicago, March 15.--Characteriz- ing the slump in the stock market as New York affair" and declaring that the agitation relative to the railroads has had little to do with the Wall street panic, Chicago bank CTS yesterday asserted that they were not troubled over the outlook and that Chicago and the middle west would be in no wise affected.
 The consensus of opinion was that the rate for money in Chicago, six per cent, would not be lifted, and that there are millions in reserve here which can be utilized. It was de- clared that the Jumping of the spec ulators" out east will do the nation, as a whole, good.
 Two bankers, however, James H. Eckels, president of the commercial national bank, and James B. Morgan, president of the First National bank, did not regard the slump wholly as a New York affair. They said that the agitation against railroads had much to do with the situation.

When the Ceiling Where the Lower House of the Russian
 Parliament Meefs Fell
THOUGHT IT A PLOT
Later Members of Parliament Said the Trouble Was Caused By the Nails and Fastenings Giving
 Away.-Were Very Old.

St Petersburg, March 1.-The cail- ing of the hall in the Taurida palace, where the. lower house of parliament meets collapsed at six o'clock this morning and caused widespread wreckage among the seats below.
 Though many rlmors were circu- lated to the effect that the fall of the ceiling was the result of plot to in terfere with the meeting of parlia- ment it's purely accidental character was established. The nails and other fastenings binding the ceiling to the rafters had not been replaced siuce the time of Catherine II and broke un- der the extra weight of the new deco rations. The aggregate weight of the ceiling material was so great that in it's fall it twisted the massive bronze electroleers in such a way as to in- dicate that a terrible catastrophe would have resulted had the fall ac- cured during the session of the house. President Golovin ordered chairs to be placed. in the rotunda and the ses- sion commenced with scarcely half an hours delay.
 The members of parliament held short session in the rotunda at the entrance of. the palace, but contrary to their previous determination, de- cided to postpone further sittings un- til another hall is secured.
 Premier Stolypin and all the min isters were present. ready to present the ministerial program should the lower house do desire.
 The council of the empire will meet tonight and the ministerial declaration of policy will then be read. @

DOGS OF HELL
That is What John Alex Dowie Calls the Men Who Oppos-
 cd His Ideas
WILL RETURN TO THEM

CHICAGO, March 15.-Six weeks be- fore he died John Alexander Dowie, founder of Zion City and first apostle of the Christian Catholic church, pre-. pared his own funeral sermon, but when he was buried at Mount Hope cemetery, Zion City. his last message was not read to his followers.
 Although the sermon prepared by Dowie was not used in the funeral rites, it was given out for publication. The, document makes it plain that Dowie. did not forgive his enemies before he died, as he lashes those who busted him from control as dogs of hell,' saying:
 'I shall return, and with ruthless hand shall exterminate the vipers and the dogs of hell that now hold the high places in the city of Zion. They dreamed. and in the grossness of their dreams they thought they had prevail cd over the first apostle. And now, priests and elders of Zion, shall re- turn to strike ye down. I shall return in another form, brighter and more beautiful and ten thousand times more terrible, to cut ye of in tie. midst of your sins and to win back Zion for the truth and for them that held to the word and did no evil.''
 There was small sized panic dur ing the funeral ceremonies because of the announcement that another of vo- liva's followers was dying. In the past week three of his lieutenants who held similar positions under Dowie have died suddenly, and when it was said that a fourth was likely to die before morning several of the mourners ran from the tabernacle shouting that Zion was accursed by God.
