NEW YORK. January 36.ZTodays short
business session upon the stock exchange

which were displayed in yesterdays unset
tied dealings. Actual pressure also was
most pronounced In the same stocks In
which the selling was then heaviest
Great Northern preferred showed de-
cline in the first few minutes OF business
OF no less than four points and declines OF
from one to two points were common else
where In the various departments OF the
market.
The liquidation or whatever may have
been the character of the selling in Great
Northern preferred was. Of course. based
the company now being conducted by the
Minnesota state authorities.
Elsewhere there was little In the way Of
news or novel comment to be ELECTED in
connection with the course pursued by one
stock or another. Canadian Pacific showed
renewed pressure, but aside from the drop
In that stock yesterday there was no nea-
son why 1t should have been selected in to-
days dealings as the subject OF particular
comment.
The Railway List.
Transactions In the railway list were
largest in New York Central, st. Paul,
Union and Southern Pacific and Reading.
The industrial and miscellaneous issues
and the local traction stocks were weak in
common with the railway list. Amalga-
mated Copper and United States Steel
common were notably active. Round de-
clines were scored also in Colorado Fuel
and Iron, Pressed Steel Car and General
Electric.
The London stock market was steady
with the exception OF the American depart
ment, and q rally Occurred there before the
close Of business, which still. however, left
prices below parity with New FORKS clos
ing prices Of yesterday.
Foreign housers were sellers upon a fair
scale in the local dealings. There was no
news of general importance over night cal
culated to give . fresh stimulus to specula-
tive activity In either direction.
The weekly reports Of the mercantile agen-
cies were favorable exhibits, except in 50
far as they set forth some interference with
business ON account Of the interruption OF
railway service due to the severe weather
In the northwest.
Adds to Pessimism.
Cnfavorabie forecasts OF the weekly bank
statement were published with the course
Of the morning and these added to the
general spirit of pessimism which per-.
meated the Wall street atmosphere.
The very large increase in the loan ac-
count in the weekly bank statement.
amounting to no less than ~, OBS 500. was
generally taken to reflect in part the recent
sale Of snort-time notes by the various rail-
way companies. and also the shifting back
of loans upon the local banks as the result
of the recently prevailing .ow rates for
money.
Actual cash increased $3,246.O0O a sum
well below the average preliminary esh-
mates. In consequence of the increases in
deposits and cash the deposit account rose

PROSPERITY IS IN FULL BLOOM
Hartman saw No Signs Of Panic in
the West.

New York, Sept. lie. II. Harri-
man, who recently returned from an
extensive trip through the west, said
that the west is more prosperous than
ever before, that there are no signs
OF panic there, but that the people OF
that section are not now seeking in
vestments. He added: "in spots the
crops will not be as good as last year,
but the west will have fair crops. Our
lines appeared to be well favored.
Crops are excellent all along the lines
OF the Union Pacific. Country banks
and individuals in the west have
plenty of money, but they are holding
ON 10 it and are not seeking invest
mcnt There is no question in Hly
mind that a great deal of money is
tied up in this way. But these people
who are hanging on TO their money
now. later will be seeking invest
ments. | found the attitude OF the
people with money one of uncertainty.
There is more money in the country
than we believe, but it is being with
held from free circulation because or
some apparent fear or apprehension.
| think securities have gone very
much below where they should have
gone under any circumstances"
Although he had seen no marked
signs of business depression in the
west, Mr.. Hartman said that contrac'
tion in practically all lines is sure to
come. The lack of money TO carry
out the big enterprises is alone sufii-
clent. he said to bring about this con.
traction.

the 2.cent railroad fare law p&ss,a

which the decision was made viii be

The 2.cent fare law was enacted by

ton during che last political campaign.
all parties pledging themselves in Ia.
yor of such legislation. The railroads,
led by the Pennsylvania and Reading,
made strong fight against the enact
ment, but both branches OF the legis.
lature passed the bill with practically
an unanimous vote. The act was to
20 into effect Oct. /.
The Pennsylvania. was the first to
attack it's validity, bringing a suit in
the local courts to restrain the county
of Philadelphia from collecting fines
for violation of its provisions. The
hearing lasted nearly week. and
among the witnesses were President
MCCrea and several of the vice presi-
dents of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The contention Of the company was
that the law was not constitutional,
and that the 2-cent rate was fixed
without any investigation on the part
OF the Legislature as to whether the
railroads could make a fair profit un-
der the law, which the company as
serts it cannot do. All other railroads
operating in Pennsylvania have also
brought similar proceedings in various
counties of the state, but no decisions
have been rendered, as it Is under
stood that the Pennsylvania suit will
be made the test case in the higher
court.

Lincoln, Sept. lL-Claiming that
they represent $4,000 members OF the
United Commercial Travellers, j. W..
Nation and f. w. Hawken OF Fremont
charged the Union Pacific railroad
with gross discrimination in passen'
ger traffic and demanded that the
state railway commission make an i'm
mediate investigation. They allege
that the Union Pacific has barred local
passengers from trains No. /, 2, and

Lincoln, Sept. 1l.-Federal Judge
T. G. Munger issued restraining or.
Ger against the state railroad commits
sion to prevent it from delivering to
the railroads a schedule of rates based
on the recent reduction in grain rates.
The hearing is set for Sept. % before
both the federal judges in Omaha.
The law provides that thirty days
after the rates are published and the
railroads notified the rates go into eff
feet. The commission can publish the
rates, but under the restraining order
cannot deliver the schedule to the
railroads.
Lawyers who studied the petition OF
the roads and the position of the com.
mission say the case has many of the
elements o! the North Carolina dis.
pute, and predict a stubborn contest in
the Nebraska courts. 1t is claimed
for the commission that Judge Nun.
gers ruling does not enjoin the three
commissioners from proceeding to re-.
duce grain rates, but merely restrains
them from serving orders on any one
OF the three roads for period of two
weeks. The application of the roads
To prevent the commission from sit.
ting at all ia the case was, in fact, de.
MED by the court. The commissioners
at least so Construe it, and will call
upon the Union Pacific company to
make its showing against the proposed
reduction. The commission will act
on the theory that the restraining or.
der is merely a postponement of their
final order to the roads, nor will the
members admit that they are in any
manner in contempt of court when
they proceed with the taking OF testi'
mony to guide them in deciding wha
will be an equitable reduction.
The state railway commission has
employed Senator Aldrich of David

wrote the maximum rate bill and the
railway commission bilD as counsel
during the hearings on grain rates re-
duction. now in progress.
Discussing the proceedings in the
federal court, Governor Sheldon said:
III / thought the state is to be baked
by the attitude of the railroads,
would seriously consider the advisable
ity of calling an extra session OF the
| legislature"

NEW ANTi.oRIENTAL RIOTS.
CHINESE DoMesTlcs QUIT WORK
Hotels and Families Are Making shifS
Without cooks--Japanese Consul De-
mands That Militia Be Called Out to
Protect His Countrymen.

Vancouver, u. c., Sept 11.--Every-
thing was quiet in and about the Ori.
entail quarter, and there has been no
further attempt to renew the anti-Asi-
attic riotng. None of the Japanese
have as yet returned to their work
In the lumber mills, which are still
closed down, but which expect to re-
sumo tomorrow. The strike OF the
Chinese cooks bids fair to last longer
and restaurants are closed. Hotels,
clubs and private families are max
ing shift without cooks and Vancouver
people are receiving an object lesson
ON their dependence on Chinese do
mestics.
The only development in the local
anti-Asiatic situation was the action
Of X. Morikawa, Japanese consul here.
In great excitement Morikawa went to
Mayor Bothune and demanded that he
have the militia called out to protect
his countrymcn. Morikawa stated an
attempt was being made to burn every
Japanese house in Vancouver and that
cotton waste, saturated with oil, had
been found under the door of the
Japanese Methodist Mission church.
Mayor Bothune tried to reassure the
consul, telling him that the author
flies had the situation well in hand.
Finally, to please the consul, the may.
or agreed to telegraph to Colonel
Hughes, commanding the militia of
this district, asking that the militia
be ordered TO hold themselves in
readiness. The body Of Chinese was
found hanging to a tree I'm a suburban
garden. II is reported that the
Chinese was hanged by his country
men for refusing to quit work. The
police pronounce it case of suicide.

EXCLUSION THREAT IS LIKELY
Developments in Vancouver Alter Sit
uation With United States.

Washington, Sept. ll.-That strin-
gent exclusion treaty between Amer
lea and Japan is measurably nearer
realization than the most optimistic
administration officials couu have be-
ieved forty-eight hours ago is the
judgment OF the members OF the dipio-
matte corps here. This long sought
object is expected to be attained per-
haps as an indirect result OF the mob
bing of the Japanese at Vancouver, in
British Columbia. Officials here de.
plore what they view as an unfortu-
nate and unwarranted inlracton OF
the treaty rights OF the Japanese, but
they do not fail TO perceive at once
the important bearing that this Incl
dent will probably have upon the nego-
tiations between the state department
and the Japanese ambassador looking
to the drafting of treaty that shall
limit the incoming of Japanese cool
les, instead OF allowing the subject to
be dealt with in the present loose
fashion by what amounts to semi.
official undertakings on the part of
the japanese government to withhold
passports to coolies coming directly
to the United States.
The belief that treaty Is now with.
In sight is based on the conviction of
officials that the Japanese government
will now be brought face TO face with
the fact that aS it cannot discriminate
between Great Britain and America in
the matter OF demands for lair treat
ment for It's subjects, and must by this
time be rvinCed that the problem
presented is really a racial one, the
only solution will lie in The torma
recognition by Japan OF the right tC

TEST OF the ANTl-PASS LAW
Attorney Who Used Pass Sets Up

Des Moines. Oct. 24.-Attorney
Thomas d. Heaty. for II. r. Schultz OF
Storm Lake. fled a petition for a writ
of hsbeas corpus with the clerk Of the

ing on a pass issued him by the llh
nois Central in exchange for his serv.

mitted that he rode in violation of
the Iowa anti-pass law, but 1t Ia
claimed that the law is unconstitu.
