THE MARKET OPENED
 UPON HEAVY SELLING
It Took All Forenoon to Restore Confidence in Prices.

New York, June 3.-The stock mar ket was subjected to quite a drench
 ing at the outset by an outpouring of sales induced by the consideration of some overnight developments. The spasmodic nature of the drop in prices resulted in opening the way to an upward reaction and a practically complete repair of the opening losses was effected by midday. There seem ed to be a more serious view taken of the cut prices of steel bars than was the case yesterday when it was first announced. The aggressive sup pert which turned the market was centered on Union Pacific. The re- newed rise of that stock to the high figure of yesterday and the year was accompanied by intimations that the details of the S40,000.00O bond issue had been arranged. After the Union Pacific bond sale announcement had spent it's force, prices ran off again to a weak closing. Bonds were ir- regular.

 Tonight in accordance with the program. the remains, which have been lying under bust of the nov elist in the cemetery of Montmartre, was borne in a simple hearse, fol- lowed by the widow and many mem bers of the family. and a few inti- mate friends in carriages to the Pan theon, where the coffin was placed upon a high catafalque erected in the middle of the transept.
 Thousands of persons who were as sembled around the Pantheon, raised cheers and groans, the cheers pre- dominating, as the hearse passed, and an attempt by a few rowdies to start a hostile manifestation proved a fail ure.
 During the night the body will be watched by friends of the writer to prevent possible manifestations. It has been decided to close the Pan- theon after the conclusion of the ceremony tomorrow and reopen it on Saturday for the admission of the public.

Paris. June 3.-Preparations for the interment tomorrow of the remains of Emil Zola with full national hon ors in the Pantheon, the French Tenn pie of Fame, are now complete. The ceremony will be elaborate and inn pressive. almost identical with that observed when the body of Victor Hugo. the last great Frenchman to be so honored, was transferred to the Pantheon.
 The realization that Zola is being glorified, not so much as a rewafd for his prodigious activity in litera- ture. but because he was the first great leader in the Dreyfus affair which routed the general staff of the army and forced France to purge her self of the charge of social injus- tice. has revived whatever is left or the old animosities that ten years ago divided France into two camps.
 This is apparent from the manage ruent of the anti -Dreyfus papers, which today are heaping insults upon the memory of Zola as the traducer of France in his novels and crying that the translation of his remains to the Pantheon is a national disgrace. These reactionary agencies are plainly

A PHILADELPHIA SCANDAL
 A CRIMINAL LIBEL SUIT
A Contribution to the Reform Fund Which has Been Lost Sight of.

Philadelphia, June 3.-There is man ifest great public interest in the charge made by State Senator Chas. P. McNichol that in 1905 he gave Max Kauffmann as representative of Clar- ence Gibbons, head of the law and or der society, $10,000 to be used in sup pressing vice that was alleged to pre- vail under the administration of May or Weaver. McNichol is the head of the local republican organization and in explaining the donation he says he was desirous of discrediting the Weaver administration which was backed by the victorious reform ele ment. Kauffmann who is secretary to Mayor Reyburn denies the charge McNichol will be given a hearing to- morrow on a charge of criminal libel preferred by Kauffmann.
 Reyburn returned to the city today from Washington. When asked if Kauffmann would be requested to re- sign the mayor said: He will have to get out. I have not been nasty in this matterf McNichol told me six months ago that kauffmann was a corrupt man and since then he has been my private secretary. Of course there is no room for Kauffmann in his present place.

DEMOCRATS
 OF IDAHO Went to Pieces On the Mormon Question
Two Conventions After Threats of Personal ViO- fence and BlOOdshed.

Salt Lake, June 3.-A special tonight from Twin Falls, Idaho, says: The democratic party of Idaho is hopeless ly split on the Mormon question. Amid the widest scenes ever witnessed in a convention in this state, two con- ventions were held this afternoon in the same hall. Both claim to be regu- lar and a bitter contest before the ma tiOnal committee at Denver is certain.
 At one time physical encounters seemed imminent at it once looked as if there might be blOOdshed. The anti Mormon factiOnists led by former Sen atOr Dubois, seemed to have a major ity of the delegates. The other faction eeicted twelve delegates, one from each of the seven judicial districts. and five at large, each entitled to half a vote in the national convention, prOvid- ed the delegation is seated.
 A fight arose of the election of a temporary chairman. The Dubois men nominated Glen Mckinley. and the op- position put up K. I. Perkey. The vote gave Mckinley 14S and Perkey 132. It was claimed that the state committee had allowed contested delegates fav- orable to Dubois to vote and had bar red contestants that leaned toward the opposition.
 When threats, profanity and other riOtOus demonstrations had subsided Perkey called upon the opposition to gather around him. He led them to another part of the hall and organized his own convention. The Perkey dele gates were instructed to vote for Bry- an as long as his name is before the convention. A resolution deploring the injection of the Mormon question into state politics was adopted. A night session is being held by the Dubois faction.

 Muir was one of the banks most trusted employees, and it was while he was receiving teller that he conducted his peculations. In his confession he said the embezzlements had been go- ing on five years and that he had suc- ceeded in covering the shortage by sub- stituting new deposits for the old.
 Three days ago he was made paying teller and an examination was begun, a suspicion having ben aroused that all was not right. The vice president said the shortage was fully covered by a surety bond.
