New York. June 22.-Probably specu-
lative operations for the fan constituted
a considerable share of the transactions
IN the stock market to-day. as they
always do when the market in and OF
itself seems TO exhibit a declining. or, at
least. a hesltating tendency.
It seemed obvious. however. that aside
from selling OF this sort, liquidation was
going on in certain quarters, and how
ever originating. there was a distinctly
weak undertone in the trading. which
eliminated in final declines that were in
practically all instances at or very near
the lowest Of the day. and were between
one and three points in a good many is
sues.
Once or twice the market rallied a 1t
Tie, but these upturns were feeble. and. If
anything seemed 70 illustrate more
graphically than otherwise the fact that
efficient support was lacking. A specihc
influence in the dealings appeared to be
the continuance of the sharp declines in
the Rock Island issues, which began last
Saturday, and the fact produced a great
variety Of disturbing rumOrs, most Of
which We're probably made out OF whole

the emergency currency question into
conference. The house wants the pres
tige of having a currency law bear
ing the house brand--not the Aldrich
brand-and 1t will succeed If any legis-
lation on the subject is had. The AL
drich bin is still in the committee on
banking and currency, or. as one mem
Der expressed 1t last night, 1t Is IN
Chairman Fowler's pocket. He Isl so
opposed to, any emergency legislation
that does not bear his name that his
committee, which is dominated Dy him,
will not report out the Aldrich bill.
AS long as the bill is in committee
the house cannot act upon 1t without
motion to discharge the committee,
and such a reprimand the republican
majority does not want to give.
1t is expected that the republicans
of the house, practically without dis
sention, will support the committee on
rules. Representative Hayes Of Cali
fornia Mr. Prince of Illinois and sew
eral other malcontestants predict that
fifty will join the democrats In voting
down the Vreeland bill, but this pre-
diction is not likely to be verified.
Should the house pass the Vreeland
bill, the measure must go to the sem
ate and be referred to the finance COM
mittee. 1t Is expected the senate will
substitute the Aldrich bill for the new
measure or inject some of It's !mpor-
tant features and thus amended the
bill, bearing house name will go to

Methodist Episcopal and various other
Methodist denominations of the Unit

posed that hereafter the election to

that he bored hole in the sittingroom

Evidence that will be presented to

not completely in hand, will be fur

farm the morning after the burning or

cousin, and Rev. DR.. Schell, pastor OF

fendant will fight against the minister's
testifying on the ground that anything
related to him was done in professional
confidence.
An alarm clock may add an impor-
tant link in the chain of evidence
against Lamphere relating to the death
of the Guinness family and the burn

AGREE ON CURRENCY BILL.
House Republicans Decide to Supper.
Amended VreeIand Measure.

Washington, May 12.--The republi-
can members of the house, in confer
ence last night, by a vote of 12S to 16,
decided to support the Yreeland bill as
amended by the committee of five Sc
lected at the conference last week.
When the speaker asked the conference
to determine the method of procedure
to get the bill before the house a
wrangle started which resulted in the
conference leaving the question of pro-
cedure to the committee on rules, which
will at once bring tn a rule.
If the committee on rules is inf1u-
enced by the sentiment which developed
at the conference last night it will take
from the speakers table the Fowler
commission bill and. striking out all
after the enacting clause, will substi-
tute the Vreeland measure.
The republicans of The house by a
strong Lewiston demonstrated opposi-
ton to the Aldrich bill. This opposition
was so strong that the majority was
opposed to using it as a means to throw
