BOISE. Idaho, July 2.-Another chap
ter in the Steunenberg murder case was
enacted yesterday when the Idaho state
board of pardons commuted the sentence
of Harry Orchard, who was sentenced to
he hanged Friday Of this week. to lie
imprisonment.
Clemency was granted in spite OF the
expressed desire Of Orchard to have the
sentence Of the court carried out.
Orchard was arrested two days after
the assassination Of former Gov. Steunsn-
berg at Caldwell. Idaho, December 30.
1905, and a few weeks later. while con-
fined In the Idaho penitentiary. confessed
his guilt to James MCFARLAND. a we'll
known detective, at the same time assert

crime by officers of the Western Fedora

fession Charles H. Meyer, president; VIII

John Simpkins, another member Of the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2.-During the great
or part of .the business session upon the
stock exchange today the trading was
conducted upon even a smaller scale than
on yesterday. The tone of the market
was at all times uncertain and, generally
speaking. rather heavy. number OF
fractional advances were made during the
first hours trading but they were In
differently maintained subsequently. AS
illustrating the extreme dizziness OF the
market it may be noted that there were
no transactions at all in Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio and some other ordi-
Marty active stocks until we'll along In the
business session.
The more important news of the day
was made up of the announcements OF
the various defaults and receiverships OF
railway corporations reported this morn
ing. but even these casualties did not ap-
pear to cut much figure in the days trad
ing.
Rather more attention was In fact ac-
corded to the pronounced strength In the
grain market where a further sharp rise
took place in wheat options. The days
reports bearing upon the progress of the
crops were by no means reassuring.
The London stock market was also
sluggish and heavy and operations here
for foreign account were upon q trifing
scale. The Bank of Englands rate Of
discount was left unchanged at ~ per
cent and the banks weekly statement set
forth a seasOnable reduction in the ratio
of reserves to liabilities. In the open
London discount market money rates
were quoted at less than one-half Of
those exacted by the Bank Of England.
Railway Returns.
A large number of statements OF rail-
way earnings for the month of May were
made public. including the returns Of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific COM
panies. The showing made by the first
named was fairly satisfactory, a de-
crease of s1,11OOO being reduced to a
net decrease of only $6S.OfO through a
heavy curtailment in operating expenses.
The Southern Pacific reported a de-
crease in gross earnings of little more
than 100000 and a decrease in net Of
$4j3, 900.
Transactions in particular stocks were
unaccompanied for the most part by any
sharp advance in Consolidated Gas took
place on very small transactions. and tine
movement in that instance was. of course.
based upon the notable victory gained
by the company in the suit brought by
the attorney general of the state to for
felt the franchises Of the constituent con-
Germs
Fluctuations in such stocks as Amalga-
mated Copper. American Smelling and
the United States Steel shares were ex-
tremely small and irregular. The local
traction group continued steady. Dealings
in the railway list also resulted in ir-
regular price changes, but the more ac-
tive stocks, such as Reading and Union
Pacific. were comparatively firm
The bond market was again steady and
fairly active.
