Of stock were recorded within the first
fifteen minutes As q matter Of fact,
practically all the active issues went
through ali the recent low records. About
1890 a more rational feeling began TO
pervade the street. and as evidence of
some inside support the market gradually
turned for the better, which improve

more general During the afternoon the
leaders were feverish, but under continued
short covering hello fairly well, the close
showing the general list from 1 to .
points better than last night. While II
would seem as though the greater part
OF to-days buying was covering short
commitments, there was some evidence
of inside support. At first this was eau
uOus and rather grudgingly given. but
later on the constant repetition OF Wash
ingtOn hints of some change Of attitude
on the part Of the administration and the
expectation Of some announcement Of a
more lenient and tolerable attitude to
ward corporations caused the support to
be shade mort aggressive, and, natur-
ally, the short interests considerably more
nervous. / cannot see that the situation
Is anywhere near cleared. but I can see
some Improvement in the attitude of in

ances will be given 20 warrant any in

George L. Edmunds, OF A. O. Brown
Co.-"The quick absorption of stocks
at lower levels, and the continued de-
mand checked the decline early, and
caused a sharp advance which was aid
ed by short covering. There was some
reaction from the highest prices, but
the greater part of the advances were
held. and the feeling this afternoon ap-
peared TO be much more confident than
for some time Advices that J. ?. Nor
gan sailed for America yesterday gave
rise TO the belief that substantial sup
port would be given TO the market
from this quarter. There is also expect
tation that some announcement will be
received from the administration With
In a few days which will tend to re-
iieve apprehension"
BENT Woodruff, OF Post q F1agg-
The market opened to-day in a state
of absolute generalization and col
lapse, new low records being scored all
along the line and it looked as If the
shorts had deliberately opened the
market as Low as possible with the
idea Of irving 20 cover their contracts.
for Immediately after the new low quo
tatiOns were touched considerable buy
ing orders came In and prices rallied
rapidly. For the remainder of the day
prices zigzagged around until about 2
o'clock. when the market again became
strong and held the advance wei. The
upward tendency was accompanied by
a report that our Chief Executive
would give out some reassuring state
ment or at least make a speech which
would partially do away with the feel
ing OF trepidatiOn which now prevails
throughout the financial districts. We
should have a further rally After that
and the shorts reduced, think that

MINERS WANT PROTECTION
And VIII be Ably represented by
Messrs. Nugent and Litt1epage
in the Legislature.
EDITOR LABOR ARGUS:

A<DlloiI IAa1jDlS IAlf6 Us.
am wondering how many of the
miners Of this valley have carefully
considered the personnel OF our In
Incoming legislature. And Of those
who have; how many are there who
prep. re t. look upon their de-
Liberation with broadminded and
liberal views
having secured an able repre-
sentive i'll both houses, but care
full comparison OF the vote cast in
those prccintS where the miners are
in the majority, prompts to
pause ere We assume this credit.
However; wcther we deserve the
credit or not, it is Il source gratiti-
cation to us to have two such men
as John Nugent and Adam Il.
ilttlepage at the seat of state gov
eminent, and it is safe to say that
our interests will be safely guarded
and advanced by them. But we
must not overlook the Fact that as
duly elected Representatives they
they belong as much to the public
III general as they do to us. And
while our interest as miners may
be paramount with them, they are
in duty bound to consider the best
interests OF the general public in
their deliberations, feeling secure OF
our own interests, we should then
look with liberllity upon their work
for the public good.
TO the miners Of this State the
n f,T IN In, sl.,t
be of great interest, chiefly because
Of the recommendations OF the min
ing commissions, (appointed some
time ago by Gov. Dawson,) to-
ward amendments Of the mining
laws. Whatever the legislature
may do in that regard let us re
member that it is up to them.
Every individual who has taken up
che agitation for better mining
laws has done his best from the
Governor down, the commission
reached their limit. and it remains
for the legislature to bring about
the desired relief
Many years devoted to the in
tcrests of coal miners of several
states qualify John Nugcnt beyond
u doubt to ably represent us in the
legislature. While the carncstness
with which Adam b. Littlcpace has
entered upon every task we have
put before him, the sincerity of his
every effort in our behalf. Ii S
honest and clean administration Of
our affairs in the capacity of our
attorney, has won him the admir-
Il u
with whom he comes y contact.
And the consistency li>t he has
applied h msel to III t!o~j pertain
lAg to the min ng il dirty of our
State, coupled with l. 5 extensive
knowledge Of the Ia Of the land.
combine i'll making him an ideal
representative.
Let the minors look the future
square III the face with hope re-
ncwed, redoub!e their efforts to
build up the organization, that our
demands of the future may be
backed up by q membership that
numerically Will arrest the attcn-
ton of our employers and the in
terest Of the general public
We have no time to envy that
condition of mind those miners
may be III who failed to support
either Littlcpage or Nugcnt in the
last election, rather let us hope
that in the future all union men
will be as active i'll protecting and |
promoting the interest of their
union politically as otherwise.

THE OVERTIME BILL.

Washington. Feb. 23.-Under a rule
recommended from the committee on
rules by Mr. DalZell Of Pennsylvania,
the house today amended its substitute
for LaFOllette's sixteen hours railroad
employees bill. No negative votes cast.
Both republicans and democrats agreed
that the amendment made to the bill
strengthened it greatly and that it
would be satisfactory TO the president.
The most important amendment
adopted is the elimination OF the word
knowingly" wherever il occurs, which
had the effect Of relieving the railroads
Of responsibility for Overwork unless It
is PERMITTED or required with the
knowledge Of the railroad management
that emplOye the workers overtime.
The house agreed to the conference
report on legislative, executive and
judicial bill, and then resolved itself
into a committee OF the whole for the
further consideration OF the sundry
civil bill. holding a night session in the
hope of completing the measure. An
amendment was adopted which provid-
ed for a continuance Of the work on a
geological map of the United States.

The Sentiment that He Was the "Greatest Patriot of
the Civil War" Uttered by Mr. BrOwnOw Was
Wildly Applauded

Washington. Feb. 23.-Over Mountain
HRl, near Greenville, Tenn, the last
resting place Of Andrew Johnson, Z
storm OF oratory broke forth today,
while the house committee OF the whole
was discussing the Sundry Civil bill.
The place was made a national cem-
stery long ago, and there is a par
agraph in the budget carrying $685. for
superintendent's lodge, roadways,
walks and closing walls.
Mr.. Gardner of Michigan moved that
the paragraph be stricken out for the
reason only four union soldiers are
buried there. He said the apprOpria-
alton really was an ingenious way OF
taking care Of the grave Of Andrew
Johnson.
Mr.. BIOwnlow Of Tennessee. who rep
resents the district once represented by
Andrew Johnson, spoke earnestly
against the motion. He told the story
of what East Tennessee had done for
the union army. THE congressional
district of which Greenville is the cen
ter" said Mr.. Brownlow. "sent more
men to battle for the union than any
other congressional district in the
country and they were 100 miles within
the confederate lines"
Passing to a discussion of Johnson
Mr.. Brownlow said amidst great ap-
plause, I'm my opinion johnson was
the greatest patriot of the civil war

AGRICULTURAL BILL
May Fail on Account of the Forestry
Service Item.

Washington. Feb. 23.-AlthOugh the
senate devoted four hours to legislative
matters today, nothing was accomplish
ed except speechmaking. Agricultural
appropriation bill received further crit
icism. 1t is proposed that $1.OOO.OOO be
added to the fund at the disposal of
the forestry service to make up for the
revenues taken away from It and turn
ed into the treasury. While this amend
ment probably is to be accepted Senator
Hepburn would not permit il TO receive
final action until he has exhausted
every legitimate means OF opposition.
The senate leaders express a disin-
clination to permit much more talk on
the bill. Mr.. Hale said today that if
necessary the senate would let the bill
fail and provide for the support Of the
agricultural department by adopting a
resolution continuing the appropria-
tiOns Of the last session.
Mr.. Aldrich prevailed on Mr.. Proctor
to lay the agricultural bill aside that
I he might call up the currency bill. In
the hour that remained before the spe-
cial order for eulogies was reached
nothing was accomplished beyond an
explanation OF the proposed amend
ment TO the measure by Mr.. Nelson
and an explanation Of the purposes OF
the bill by Mr.. Aldrich. Then came
eulogies on the late Senator Algier OF
Michigan. and Representatives Hit OF
Illinois, iHoar OF Massachusetts, and
