Representatives Of International houses
say that the weakness in American securi-
ties in the London market this morning was
due more to selling for New York account
than for London. 1t is understood that one
New York house alone executed single
selling order Of 5000 shares Of Union Pa
cific. Not a few interests which believed
that upon the adjournment Of Congress and
the adoption of the Aldrich measure the
market would enjoy a general recovery are
inclined this morning to believe that prices
must go still lower before there will be
aggressive buying that will sustain the
market for any considerable length of time.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 5-Shortly before
the close yesterday q representative Of q
large commission house. when asked by a
friend for his opinion Of the stock market.
replied that undoubtedly the severe declines
were due chiefly to aggressive action In the
market against the Hill stocks by the Har-
riman interests~and that as soon an the de-
sired end was accomplished. We should see
| pronounced recovery. This theory was
held in other circles. but 1t was pointed out
that 1t was Illogical inazmuch as at the
opening Of business yesterday there was
good reason for believing that the Harri-
man interests had not sold all Of the re-
manning SIS. 600 of Hill stocks which Mr..
Hartman testified last week were at that
time in the treasury OF the Union Pacific
railroad. II 1t was necessary for the latter
company to sell at least q part Of those
holdings in order to meet q forthcoming
payment on the Baltimore and Ohio stock
purchased several months ago. It was
pointed out that an effort would be made to
keep the market for the Hin stocks as fav-
orable as possible instead of to depress
them unnecessarily.
The question was raised again yesterday
why the present relatively low prices that
Hill stocks are apparently without sup
port. Some weeks ago the market position
Of Great Northern and Northern Pacfnc
was outlined somewhat In detail ana at
tention was called to the fact that the
largest holders, who have been close asso-
ciates of Mr.. Hill for many years, pro.
pose to take all OF the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific allotted to them on the
basis of their present holdings of those Sc
curities.
In order to do that 1t was understood
that one holder would be obliged to pro-
duce 1000. Other holders having rel
atively small amounts would be taxed In
proportion. 1t was further pointed out that
several speculative groups had all the stock
that they could well take care OF. Obvi-
ously, the sharp decline in both Northern
Pacific and Great Northern during inter-
vening weeks has only weakened the mar
ket position of both of those stocks and the
financial standing Of some of the largest
holders.
Consequently, it is believed that no bet
ter market for either Of these stocks can
be expected at the present level than at 70
points higher.

Detective Kelly Has Exciting Time.
I'm a Freight Car ut Fayetteville.

Ex-Policeman T.. #. Kelly, local de-
tective OF the Atlantic Coast Line, had

night.
He entered a freight gar. which was
on a side track near the Mumford
street crossing. and found a man I'm

he held In his right hand.
Mr.. Kelly with his pistol covering
the man was on the point of telling
him to drop the bottle, when three
other men closed On him from behind
and as he looked around at them the
man with the bottle dealt aim a te-
rife blow on the head with the bot
tie which smashed square in his face
Notwithstanding the fact that the
blow almost stunned him, and blood
was streaming down his face, the de-
tective fired at the men as they made
their escape from the car, but with
what effect he is unable to stats.
The men had evidently made a trip
to the a before, as at least seven
ty-five pints arc missing. There were
several barrels of whiskey in the car
at the time.

| Often the Animal Is Needing OnI,
Water, Quiet. and Rational Atten'
ion.
Among other nature takers" there
| is the mad dog of the hot and silly
| season.
| He ppears as a ferocious beast,
| galloping along with frothing, distend-
| ed jaws, biting recklessly as ne goes.
1t is instructive to compare this fanci-
full victim Of rabies as described In
| 1.-THE Dogs Medical Dictionary" by
A. J. Sewell, M. r. C.. V. s.
DR.. Sewell is canine surgeon to King
Edward, to the Kennel Club, 10 the
Dumb Friends League and to various
English associations and institutions.
| Referring to the oft reported detail
| Of the frothing mouth Of the rabid dog
he says:
This is a mistake, the mouth may
| certainly be a little noister than usual
at first, but it DON becomes dry and
of a dark red color g
In the earlier stages of rabies the
suffering animal shows IAN incliua-
ton to hide in dark corners, though
when called by his owner he cores
forward and is very affectionate, lick
ing the hand and even the PERSONS
face, if allowed"
Later the rabid dog "is much dis
posed to wander if he can only get
his liberty, and once he gets out he
often goes for miles on a jOg-trot, with
head and tail down, going out of dis
way to attack other dogs, but not SD
much people, unless they get directly
in his way Or interfere with him
Left to himself the dog may wander
for hours Or for a day ana night, and
then return home.
A dog really gone mad changes in
nature and in voice. He will not Of
ten attack his owner unless to resis-
an effort to restrain, him. Contrary
to popular impression, he is not afraid
OF water. He drinks freely during tie
first symptoms of his trouble and will
thrust his muZzle in water even alter
he has lost the power o swallow.
There is no cure for him. Eventually
his EGGS weaken and if he is not kill
ed before, hedies usually within 4 OF
five days.
DR.. SeWell brushes the foolish idea
that if a dog bites another, Or even a
person, and then shall ever go mad
his victim will go mad too. He quotes
from Pasteur to the effect that bites
from a dog is not dangerous two
days before signs of rabies are OBJ
served.
His book will strengthen the belief
that the mad dog" of the summer
news is as rule in fit, needing only
water, quiet and rational attention.

A NEW BULLET.
For Use In Hish-Power Big Game
Rifles.
To Be Continued.

For Use In Hish-Power Big Game
Rifles.
The small bore, high-power rifle that
is in general use today was originally
designed as a military rife. the object
Of which Is to wound or main at ex-
treme range; and owing to its high
velocity. the trajectory is so fiat that
the raising or changing Of sights un-
der ordinary circumstances Is unnec-
essary. Sportsmen, seeing the advan-
tage gained by great velocity, were
quick to adopt This type Of rifle. II
was found that by inverting the jack
ct of the full metal patched bullet so
as to leave the soft nose exposed, this
bullet when striking hard substances
such as bone, will very often mush-
room or expand, causing a severe
wound. improvements in powder have
from time to time increased the veloci-
ty of these bullets until they now have
a muzzle velocity Of 2.7O0 feet per Sec
ond. With this velocity even the soft
nosed bullet will pass through the an
imal without expanding in the least
until some hard substance is struck,
when 1t is apt to fly to pieces. the
great heat caused by friction In the air
causes the bullet to cauterize the veins
and arteries, causing little bleeding and
thus making it impossible for the hun
ter to track his game by the blood. 1t
Is stated on reliable authority that this
