New York, March 31-Nearly all the
news to-day was unfavorable TO the stock
market, according to the standards Of
spectators. A good deal Of pessimistic
discussion INDUCED in. to begin with.
concerning the probable results Of the
meeting of the Atehison directors to-mor-
row. at which lime the semi-annual divi-
dend rate on the Atchison common shares
will be fixed.
The consensus was established for a
considerable period that the rate would
be reduced from 3 to 21a per cent: that
is 10 say. from an annual per cenr 20
an annual per cent basis, although con-
versedly the action of the Atchison
shares to-day in the market seemed 10
indicate that such decision OF this sort
had been pretty well discounted. so far
as price quotations were concerned.
Poor Report of Copper Company.
Yesterdays poor annual report of the
well-known Calumet and Arizona Mining
Company, coupled with the not unex-
pected announcement Of an assessment
on the common and preferred shares Of
the Chicago Union Traction Company
was also not without influence.
OF larger importance as a market factor
was the threatened labor trouble IL the
bituminOus coal mining region. A strike
Of miners over the whole territory did
not seem to be impending, although it
certainly did appear near at hand IN sew
eral of the large Western States. Il was
realized. however. that a trouble Of this
kind at the present time. while in no
way desirable affair, yet was not devoid
of this compensating advantage that II
would give the hituminOus coal companies
an opportunity 10 reduce the heavy stocks
of coal that have accumulated throughout
the current period Of business depression.
and the prevailing sentiment was to-day
that as soon as these stocks We're meas
urably reduced a way would be found 20
settle any difficulties in the wage scale
that have in the meantime arisen.
Yukon Gold Stocks Weak.
In the curb market there was a species
OF collapse Of the recent excited specu-
lation in Yukon Gold Mining stocks. The
market for Copper metal was. however.
heavy, there being little doubt that the
high prices for the commodity paid last
week could no longer be secured by pres
sure
The movement Of sterling exchange IN
London. Paris, and this market. as well
as Of interest rates here, pointed IN the
direction Of gold exports from this side
The Paris cheQue declined sharply, the
price of sterling here advanced. and the
use Of money on call locally could 5e
had at most for the asking. and If the
decrease OF sterling should go q little fur
ther along the line travelled by it to-day,
II is not improbable that gold will be
shipped from this side TO Paris by the
so-called triangular operation.

Erie Financing Attracts At

LEMON BY UNION PACIFIC
What the Bulls Thought Was
"MeIOn" Turns Out 10 Have Been
Displays strength, Even When the
Rest of the Market Is Weak.

New York. March 91.-Two subjects-the
Erie financing and the threatened suspen-
sion Of work by the organized miners in
the bituminous helds-absorbed practically
all the attention Of the trading element
to-day. Regarding both gloomy views
were expressed quite generally, and To
their combined influence most of the
traders ascribed the weakness Of the
market
Brokers who lock- below the surface Of
things were, however inclined TO take
a different view. These expressed the opin-
ion that after its prolonged advanced the
market was ripe for decline anyway.
and that the alleged hitch in the Erie
negotiations and the threatened difficulty
in the coal regions We're only incidents
that perhaps made the downward tend
ency more pronounced after an entirely
different initial force had started it.
During the two hours from noon TO .
O'Clock in which unfavorable rumor re-
garding Erie ran its EXTREMIST length not
a single transaction was recorded in the
common stock OF this road. The first
transaction IN the stock after this long
interval showed practically no change in
the price. although the general market
had weakened during. the period Any
one acquainted with the rumors afioat
could hardly have concluded from this
that the Erie was responsible for the
downward movement IL seemed 70 follow
rather than lead the decline
II took the bulls on Union Pacific sew
eral days 10 find out that they had been
given lemon" instead Of the "mel0n"
50 long talked OF. There were all the let
ters in the one word that belong to tho
other and not more. but in some occult
way they had been transposed and the
grateful fruit was looked for when IL was
the sour one that was actually or the
way. Not a distribution OF assets. but
a bond Issue 70 replace a floating debt
came and as the public realized the sit
uat.On selling of the stock followed There
was good deal OF Il Today and although
the large interests made an effort 10 sup
port the price. they could not holG IL
up against the pressure of heavy real
izing, and the stock was one Of weakest
on the whole list.
During the greater part OF the session
Colorado Fuel and Iron displayed
strength even when the rest of the mar
ket was weak and while, as a rule. the
traders regarded the activity on the bull
side of the stock as a movement against
the short interest, there were rumors IN
some quarters of an advertising campaign
in this issue by the Boston operator VINO
has attained undisputed supremacy in
this kind of campaigning
The probability Of a reduction in Atchi-
son dividend seemed a very small mat
ter compared 10 the other possibilities
which the imaginations Of the traders
conjured up. The Atchison directors Will
meet tomorrow and the general eXpet Ia
ton is that they Will vote 10 put the
common stock on the per cent basis
the level from which it advanced 70

Gen. Frank Johnston for Supreme Judge

j Ii is announced in the jackson
press that Ex-Attorney General
Frank Johnston is applicant for
appointment to the supreme bench
to succeed Justie S. S. Calhoun,
whose term expires within the
next few months. Judged by his
record -and that is the safest in.
dex of mans character and
worth Capt. Johnston is emil
nently fitted to grace this exalted
position. Whether as a gallant
young soldier of the Confederacy,
as an official of the State, or as a
private citizen, Mississippi can
claim no more patriotic son. To
his able, persistent, unselfish and
untiring efforts, more than to
those of any other man in the
commonwealth, was due the
aroused public sentiment which
finally demanded the abolition Of
the old penitentiary leasing system
with its nnspeakable, inhuman
crueltles; and years ater-during
the last session Of the Legislature
the passage Of a law prohibit
ing county convict leasing.
Prompted by his unfaiIing love
for outraged humanity, with q gen
uine altruistic spirit be labored
on undiscouraged through years
with brain and tongue and pen,
until these refopms were accom-
plished.
As lawyer, Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Johnston has long ranked as
one of the abIest IN the State. Asl
a contemporary well says, he
has calm and iudicious mind,
is a clear, cogent and incislye
reasoner. and within the past
twenty years has appeared as
counsel in some Of The most i'm
portant cases brought before the
supreme court for review, his
briefs being admirable documents.
while his oral arguments have
frequently elected admiring com
ment from the members Of The
bench and his colleagues ID the
legal profession. z
There will be several applicants
for the supreme iudgeship, bel
tween whom Gov. Noel muatI
make choice. but 1t is safe 10 say
none will combine more Of the
elements Of head and heart needed /
adogn- that high position tllan Gen.

The law and order element Of
Hsttiesburg won 4 notable vic.
tory last week By the reelection
Hof Mayor Donald and the entire
reform ticlkt, except an alderman.
Ex Mayor G. w. Rich, who posed
as the champion of "a liberal city
government" and which, literally
interpreted, meant a wide.open
town" and the winking at the
violation Of various State laws
and giving free rein to the blind
tiger element In particular, was
defeated By majority Of 80 after
the warmest municipal campaign
In the history Of the town.
G. w. Rich will bio remembered
as the gentleman who actively
conspired with the prize fighters,
Sullivan and Kilrain, to circum-
vent the law Of Mississippi and
pull of prize fight during Gov.
LoWry's last administration, ia
the face Of the Governors proCIa-
nation on thesubiect, and nothing
better illustrates the kind of may
or Hattiesburg would have had, il
he bad won, than that act.
Hattiesburg has made grand
strides under the Donald admins
tration during the last two years,
morally, educationally and COM
merciaIly, and it is gratifying to
observe that her people are re-
solved to take no backward step.
Too much praise cannot be ac-
corded to the Hattiesburg Daily
News and Editor Edgar q. Har-
ris for the invaluable service they
rendered the reform ticket. The
News furnished q shining example
in this instance of what q clean
newspaper can do for a commun.
ity BY boldly standing UP for la "
and civic righteousness, for with.
out its aid the reform ticket
could not have won. Il was edit
ed throughout the contest with
marked courage, tact and ability.

i BAD SHOWING FOR THE ELKS.

Ia the lists OF q. S. revenue
licenses for the sale Of alcoholic
liquors being published BY sherilEs

sippi, the EIks' lodges are show
ing up in an ugly light in several
towns by its being made to appear
that they hold government Iicens.
es to sell liquor ID violation Of the
State laws.
No organization which claims
to be decent or reputable should
be guilty of conduct such as this.
Not only does it lead TO the diasi-
patton and moral ruin Of its own
members, especially young men,
whom it starts on the downward
road of intemperance; but ito evil
example as law-breaker, moro
insidious and potent because Of its
supposed responsibility, is more
pernicious than the ordinary blind
tiger.
Not long ago. the editor of The
Leader heard a good woman and
mother in the city Of jackson,
who has no connection with the
w. G. 7. u, declare that the
Elks Lodge is doing more to lead
the young men of that city to
drunkenness and ruin than any
other agency, and all because un-
der the cloak of respectability
and fraternity it runs private
saloon in violation of law. That
mother has an only son, just en-
tering upon promising manhood,
whom she would not give in ex-
change for all Of Rockefeller's
millions, and she and other Jack
son mothers are alarmed and
anxious over the pernicious ex-
ample and influence Of that Jack
son Elks saloon.
The Elks organization proclaims
itself fraternaI and benevolent
order, and it has doubtless done
and is doing much good; but if it
proposes to maintain this claim it
ought, in justice to itself, eliminate
it's drunkard factories and cease to
be an outlaw in moral, prohibi-
tion communities on the same
legal plane with other blind
tigers.
If it does not, like that ancient
and honorable order the Masons,
.repudiate all afiIiation with the
liquor traffic, it will ultimately
challenge and encounter the open
hostility of not only the religious
press of the country, but all Of
that part of the secular press as
we'll, which esteems law and order
and civic virtue above a masked
enemy to society and a false friend
to true. fraternity.
