CALIFORNIANS OPPOSED
TO NEW HAWAIIAN BILL
House Passes Measure Providing That
Foreign Vessels May Carry Pas.
sengers from Islands to
United States

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-A bill
amending the laws relating to transport
tation between Hawaii and the United
States was passed by the house today
1t provides that for a period of six
years passengers may be transported
between Hawaii and the United States
in foreign vessels without penalty, I'M
less in the meantime new line of at
least three steamships of the United
States shall have been established on
that route.
The bill was supported by Messrs.
Littlefield of Maine, Humphrey of
Washington and Kalanianaole of Ha-
wall, and opposed by Messrs. Kahn,
Hayes and Needham of California.
The principal arguments of the oppo-
sition were based on the claim that
such a law would result in loss of
business to American ships and a COR
responding increase of business to ves-
sells of the Japanese line.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK. May 2s.-The stock market to-
Gay had to sustain some rude buffets In the
dtmoralizng breaks In the Gould stocks, and
the power OF resistance to this influence which
was displaced had some effect of reinsurance
on speculative sentiment. 1t has been OBJ
served from the speculative liquidation in
progress this week that 1t was not urgently
pressed falling market, advantage being
taken rather Of strong periods to market
stock. This fact has impressed the belief In
the strong resources OF the seller to realize
The apparent composure with which the drop
in the Gould group was viewsd may be due to
the survival Of a continuation that good to
the general situation may be evolved out OF
the reorganization believed to be immineilt.
The same spirit was manifest toward the
news OF receivershlp for Western Maryland
in March. That project represented the east
portion OF the proposed Wabash extension
70 the Atlantic seaboard as the Wabash Pitts
burg terminal as does the western line The
difficulties of the Western Maryland gave rise
to rumors that reorganization would be on
terms to secure the Wabash in Its outlet facill-
ties and at the same time do away with rival
ries threatened by the form of project.
The acute conditions developed today for the
securities concerned In that project grew out
of the fact that interest on the firm mortgage
bonds of the Pittsburg Terminal company falls
due on Monday next. for which provision is
considered doubtful. Nothing said by the offi-
Gals of the company was calculated to allay
this doubt, which was much aggravated by
the unsupported condition oil the securities In
the market Doubts were in,pelied, as well:
OF the maintenance OF dividends on Missouri
Pacific, the last declaration having been made
payable In stock instead OF cash. The reduc-
ton in the official discount rate of the Bank
OF England in spite OF the continued de-
mands OF continental centers upon London for
gold, was eloquent of the irresistible effect
OF the sweep into bank reserves in keeping
down the reserves. The same state of affairs
In discernible IN our money market where
money continues easy In spite OF the weeks
requirement OF nearly sis.o00,00o Of the New
York banks already met, for return Of govern
ment deposits and for exports of gold
Apparently this heavy drain ia Offset fully
one-third by the continued inflow of currency
from the interior. The passage through the
house of the emergency currency bill induced
some carly buying of stocks.
London copper was higher today The de-
cidedly more cheerful tone of reviews of the
iron and steel trade situation was a factor In
making up the tone of the day's speculation.
So also was the sustained confidence in the
crop condition expressed by trade publication.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value,
s2,ess,ooo. Government bonds were unchanged
on call.

MEASURE AIMED TO STOP
MONOPOLY OF COAL LANDS
Roosevelt Signs Bill Limiting Holdings
In Alaska and Guaranteeing
Fuel Supply for Neces-
stiles of Navy

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-President
Roosevelt today signed a bill which, in
the opinion of many persons, is the
most radical measure of legislation
enacted during his administration.
Its title is ITO Encourage the De-
velopment of Coal Deposits in the Ter
ritory of Alaska" and it's principal
provision includes an attempt to pre-
vent monopoly by restricting holdings
to 256O acres of coal lands and pro-
viding penalty of forfeiture of all
holdings by persons, individually or in
combination, who get possession of
more than this number of acres. 1t
also gives the government the claim
on all coal that may be mined, thus
guaranteeing fuel supply for the navy.

1t is the general belief in the local market
that for the balance of the season there Is no
hope of strawberries returning to profitable
basis. The disastrous slump on Monday has
left in it's wake a complete wreck, which, in
the face of the present hot weather, the ma
turing of the crop and the failure of canneries
to preserve fruit this year, Is now considered
beyond recovery.
Strawberries were so plentiful yesterday that
many Of the stalls were compelled to throw
away part of their receipts. Strawberries have
affected the whole fruit market. Other berries,
together with cherries and oranges, have felt
keenly the slump and prices have been low
cred in consequence, although under more
favorable conditions the market would have
been brisk, and normal.
Blackberries were in large receipt raspber-
