 Senators Aldrich. Hopkins and others of the Finance Committee are having a worrying time to answer the assaults from such Republicans as Nelson, Beveridge,. Smith (of Michigan), Mc7 Cumber and Hepburn who are savage ly attacking the railroad bond ar 2 other features. 6
 Hopkins was put forward to procK q that the Aldrich bill Is not too muf 6 the interest of New York. Phil phia, Boston, Chicago and St. s9 is banks at the expense of practici all the other cities of the country 4 ome of the Western men are not dt sd to concede that even Chicago anf Louis get a fair deal in the Aldr oili as 1t now stands. The extremf q ss conn plain bitterly. that the \ Sure is framed specially in the ints- t of New York just as If the banks of the other great. cities of the United States were not in existence so far as rights under the laws are concerned.
 The situation is further complicated by declarations from day to day by such men as former Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage to the effect that the Fowler bill reported to the House Is a much more practical ana equitable measure than the Aidrich plan.
 John sharp Williams.
 John Sharp Williams said at the beginning of the session that he would do all In his power to assist the Re- publicans to enact a measure for the best interests of the country. and he says he is hewing to that line; but the Democratic leader of the House now says that 1t does not seem to him that the Republicans who are responsible for legislation can agree upon any thing that will answer the purpose. If they keep on fighting among them selves. MT. William is of the opinion that the Democrats will have to offer a plan. and If that is rejected there is nothing left for the Democrats to do but help the Republicans tear their own hair.
 According to the drift of the discus sion so far In the Senate it is fight of the big banks against the little ones--at least that Is what Senator Nelson and other Republicans dissen- ters would have the country believe.

In pTefacing the book tie publishers
have the following to say in regard to
the city and it's growth. Little need
mere be said of Kenosha Industrial
standing. Her products are known the
world over and suffice it to say that
for her millions invested there is some
thing to show. In the last issue of the
directory there were about 5000 names,
deaths recorded, and the late Mr..
Wright who was an expert on census
problems, estimated the population at
1880. In this issue there are about
1000 names, and it is fair to assume
that the same multiple will apply this
year as did two years ago, and that
our estimate today of $4,000 is not in
fated, but to the contrary quite con-
servative. This would give us an in
crease of 2200 persons or a trife over
II per cent, which is a very good gain
indeed. Our reports show that Il large
number of dwellings are in course of
construction, and this, coupled with
the fact that there are comparatively
few vacant homes, would indicate that
there IS to be no let up in the growth

be sold TO the highest bidder. The first
sale was for twenty-five shares at TO-

as the available stock went off IN fifty
shares lesser amounts.
During regular call there was much
sparring for the common stock. with sew

filed. The bid price of the stock was ad-
vanced under the call to $50 a share.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

G. Bowie chipnan. OF E. F. Hutton &
CO. Manipulation in to-day's market
was for a betterment in values Buying
was not aggressive, but on the small re-
cessions distinct support was IN evi-
dence, causing the shorts to cover in the
afternoon. One OF the strongest stocks
was Steel common. which gave signs Of
accumulation. and 1t is said that the First
National Bank party is working fer high
er prices In this security. The receiver
ship of the Western Maryland property
passed unnotieed. and here is the i'm
portant factor which indicates that stocks
are likely 10 do much better. Bad news
has been discounted. The banks show g
gain of about $4.5O0.000 for the week.
hence a good statement may be looked
for. X is hardly a time TO rush in and
buy stocks indiscriminately. but reactions
should be awaited to purchase securities
Of merit, and reasonable profits should
not be ignored when SEEN"
Benjamin Woodruff, OF Lewis johnson
& Co.-'The announcement OF receiver
ship for the Western Maryland this morn

it was generally expected that in a dull
situation like the present this would lead

stocks were attacked by the bear party.

is a large short interest uncovered. it
seems hard for that reason. 10 see how
the bears can cover. except by bidding
for stocks and thus advancing prices.

should anything OF an encouraging nature
