PRICES CRUMBLE.
Another Day of Anxiety on
Stock Exchange.
RumOrs of Impending Failures
Aggravate the Situation.

New York, March 19.-Prices crum-
bled away during the early dealing i'll
the stock market today. The precipita-
fancy of the decline recalled the mar
ket of last week and gave rise to re-
newed uneasiness.
The greatest sufferers from the re-
newed pressure were the Hill and
Hartman stocks, st. Paul, Reading and
American Smelling. Union Pacific fell
without any sign of spirit. Many ac-
tive stocks fell between two and three.
Selling for foreign account was an i'm
portant element iR the weakness and
fears were entertained that trouble was
brewing in some OF the foreign financial
markets. 1t was believed also that
there was selling out of accounts that
were helped through the slump of last
week on condition that opportunity
should be taken of the first recovery in
the market to reduce holdings. The
break in the first hour was ascribed to
a variety of causes, chief among them
being a persistent rumor that one or
more failures are imminent. London
sold about so 900 shares in the first hour,
chiefly Erie, Southern Pacific and Steel.
The excitement on the exchange to-
day was quite as great as that of last
Thursday. Considerable stock was
thrown on the market at any price it
might bring.
Before noon it was announced that
the clearing house sheets from mem
bers had gone through. 1t was intimat-
ed in an official quarter that several
members had been carried over and
that their affairs were being inveStigat-
ed by the stock exchange committee.
Among the alarming rumors was one
affecting a banking house which is said
to have suffered losses on loans on col
lateral of doubtful value.
Shortly after noon it was learned
from an authorita tive source that a
private settlement had been effected be-
tween at least two stock exchange firms
and their creditors. 1t was also said
that all danger of suspensions had pass
ed for the day.
E. H. Hartman today denied a report
that he intends to retire from active
railroad work.

STRIKE HELD UP.
Hartman Roads and BOilermakers
May Yet Get Together.

Chicago. March ia strike in shops
of all Hartman railroads, scheduled
to begin yesterday. was held up pend
ing the outcome cf negotiations in Chi
cago between officials and representa-
tiVes of the International BOilermakerS'
union 1t is said the danger of a tieup
has been passed.
President George F. Duffy of the
union held a conference with President
6 NJ FELTON, of the Chicago & Alton
road. At night the executive board of
the boilermakers' organization met. 1t
was announced that the union will de-
mand the reinstatement of the men
who struck a month ago in the Alton
shops at Bloomington.
The Alton strike was called off, but
the company refused to restore all the
strikers to their positions. President
FELTON, holds that the walkout Is a
closed incident.

CALIFORNIA FLOODED.
A Number of Towns Reported Under
Water

San Francisco, Cal, March 10
Heavy rains which have prevailed d
since last Saturday have caused the
rivers of Northern California to over
flow and great damage has resulted.
A large part of the town of Oroville
has been inundated and a portion of
Marysviile is under water. The Nor
mon Island bridge across the Ameri-
can river was washed away last night.
At the Folsom state prison Two
guard houses were swept away.
AT sacramento, no danger is appre-
hended, as the leveas are in good con-
d1t1on. The situation at Stockton,
however, appears to be more seriou us,
as the local streams are higher than
for years and great volume of water
is pouring into the San Joaquin.
The towns of Woodbridge and Lin
coin are in danger of beng flooded.
The lowlands are under water and the
wheat and barley crops are ruined.
The levees are being patrolled, and
every effort is being made to prevent
a disastrous inundation.
At Marysville, the Yuba river is still
booming today but the worst is be-
lieved to be over. Al. of the bridges
near the city have been washed out
except the Southern Pacific railroad
bridge. A portion of the-city and the
surrounding lowlands are covered with
water, but the flood is not expected to
extend.
The Feather river at Oroville is fall
ing and it is thought that the danger
point has been passed. Some of the
stores and buildings Of the town are
flooded, and much damage will result.
Many of the residents. sought shelter
last night in the churches and public
halls, abandoning their personal ef-
fects. No loss of life has yet been re-
ported.
Worst Is Passed.
Reno, New, March 19.-The True
kee river has dropped three feet
since yesterday and il is thought, the
worst of the flood has passed. All ov-
erland trains are still tied up here and
at Sparks, the division point three
miles east. At best it will be "a hours
before trains will again be running

TO GIVE OUT THE JOBS.
Executive Council VIII Hold Meeting
for This Purpose

A special meeting of the executive
council of the state will be held this
week, probably on Saturday, for the
purpose of parcelling out the state
house jobs.
There have already been several
meetings. at which it has been decided
how many janitors and other minor en-
ployes each state officer may name. but
the four principal jobs have been put
into pot" and the council as whole
will decide who will get those jobs. The
four Jobs to be decided by the council
as a whole are custodian, engineer, cleo
trician and guide.
Col. Geo. W. Veale of Topeka is a
candidate for his old position as custod-
ian of the state house. from which he
was let out by T. T. Kelly. J. G. Collins
is also a candidate for this place. Capt.
Collins is the present custodian, and
while he had some rather exciting rows
during his term of office. he has a rep
utation for integrity and industry which
will be in hisc favor.

BEYOND DISPUTE.
Company BIS Rifles Were Used in the
Brownsville Affair.

Washington. March 19.-Four rifles
from Company B. Twenty-fifth infan-
try. were used in the Brownsville af-
fray, If the army ordnance department
can substantiate reports sent to the
senate committee on military affairs
concerning the microscopic examina-
ton of the thirty-three shells picked
up in the streets of the town on the
morning following the shooting.
All the rifles in the possession of the
battalion at Fort Brown on the night
of August 3 were sent to the Spring
field arsenal, and two shots were fired
from each. The shells used were then
compared with those picked up at
Brownsville, and the officers ma king
the tests reported that it has been
demonstrated beyond dispute that
four guns of Company B were used in
discharging all of the thirty three
shells.

Result of Passing of the Coveted
"AnnuaI."
WILL COST TO TRAVEL

The new antipass law is causing a
good many of the state officers to come
to the conclusion that it will be better
to live in Topeka during their terms
of office
State Auditor James Nation will not
have to move, because he lived here
during the whole time he was assistant
auditor, and has a large, we'll ap-
pointed house near Washburn college.
c. E. Denton, secretary of state,
will probably move to Topeka, as did
]. r. Burrow, his predecessor in Of
fee.
Attorney General F. S. Jackson
moved to Topeka as soon as he was
appointed assistant attorney general
by General Coleman. and lives with
his family at the Devon.
State Treasurer Mark Tulley will
probably move to Topeka wnen the
school year ends. His children are
now attending school in Montgomery
county, and he does not want to inter-
fere with their work.
Governor Hoch will of course con-
tinue to live at ,he executive mansion.
About April 1 E. w. Fairchild of

ent of public instruction, will move his

and think that a man holding this
position should live at Topeka
This Is quite a different experience
from that of the late superintendent, 1.
l.. Dayhoff. who lived at Hutchinson
during his whole term of office.
Charles Barnes, the new insurance
commissioner, reversed the usual order
of things, and while he had lived in To-
peka for many years before being a
candidate for insurance commissioner
he bought a paper at Usage City and
took up his residence there shortly be-
fore being elected to his present posi-
tion.
So long as a state officer could carry
pocketful of annual passes, it didn't
make much difference to him where h.
lived. He had no special object in NOV
ing to Topeka except for the pleasure
of living in the capital city for it cost
nothing to travel. Some of the state
officers were so seldom in Topeka at all
that their semioccasional visits here
were the occasion of newspaper COM
ment. 1t looks as though thes present
states officers would really come to To-
peka to stay a while.
