FOG-BOUND
Off SANDY HOOK
on BIG LINERS
Dense Blanket of VapOr Makes
Ii PeriIOus for Them to
Proceed.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-More than
1900 persons, who expected to reach
this city early today, are ~fog-bound on
transatlantic and coastwise steamships
outside Sandy Hook, where a score or
more of vessels have been forced to
anchor in the densest mist of the year.
From Fire Island and the Hook OBJ
servation stations come reports that
the men on watch cannot see ten feet
out into the fog. The observer at the
Hook reports hat he cannot even see
the ground below his tower and that
the only indication that there are ships
outside at anchor is the s~creeching of
the sirens.
Among the craft kept from coming
up the bay by the fog blanket are the
Savoie. of the French line, which has
on board nearly 1000 persons, more
than 300 in the first cabin; the Arabic,
of the White Star line, which has an
equally large passenger last; the
Philadelphia, of the American line, and
MORO Castle, of the Ward line.

Especial TO the ENtnlHS StdI.J
JERSEY CITY, Nay 23.-That Theo-
dore S. Whitmore. whose trial starts
Monday for the murder of his wife,
Lena, was a burglar. who had served
time in several national n State
penal institutions, was confessed by
Gold Tooth Billy" Bartlett, his for
mer comrade n pal.
In Bartlett's confession yesterday to
Assistant Prosecutor Vickers, published
exclusively in THE EVENING STAR,
Whitmore was branded as a criminal
who had deliberately plotted the death
of his wife.
Whitmore, according to Bartlett's
statement. is said to have been familiar
with North Jersey, especially the dis
trict in and about Newark and Harri-
sol in which latter place the slain
body of his wife was found Christmas
morning in the Lampblack swamp.
But despite Bartlett's confession, the
prosecution has yet to prove that
Whitmore was in this State on the
night of the killing, AS Whitmore him
self triumphantly remarks: They've
got me six hours in time and ten miles
in distance away from the swamp
murder, and at that time 1 was in New
York. What are they going to do
about it?"
Bartlett. in rs statement, said that
Whitmore had . ranged to kill his wife
OF four different occasions n had re-
manned In hiding, waiting for the
woman's appearance.
1t was Whitmore's intention at these
times, Bartlett alleges, to beat his wife
to death with one of the v%illainous-
looking blackjacks which were found in
his rooms in Adams street, Brooklyn,
after his arrest.
Bartlett declared that he had known
Whitmore for eighteen years, and dur
ing this time they and a band of
thieves had made several excursions
from the Bowery to San Francisco and
had committed hundreds of robberies.
Bartlett gave the names of all the
thieves who had been on these trips.
and the police of New York and Brook
lyn were notified later by Prosecutor
GarVen.
II was in Harrison" said Bartlett.
twice with Whitmore myself and I
know that he has been there on other
occasions with other thieves. When I
was with him we walked through the
town and he seemed to know all about
the place.
A rope found in one of the prisoners
cells, made from blankets, neal the cell
of Whitmore led to a rumor yesterday
that there was a plot in the Jail for a
general delivery of the inmates.

EUGENE cARNoT DISCHARGED.
Forfeits $25 Collateral for Keeping
Gambling House.

Eugene Carnot. the proprietor of res
taurant located at 2115 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., was permitted to forfeit S25 collat-
eral this morning in the Police Court
under charge of permitting gambling
on his premises as a result of recon-
mendation of the prosecuting attorney.
Carnot was the subject of police raid

tering the restaurant they found disorder
rampant and several gambling games in
progress Carnot was placed under ar
rest and compelled to deposit $50 collat-
eral at the time.
This is not the first experience of Car
not in the Police Court, the man having
been arrested and arraigned on different
charges growing out of disorder at his
place during the past year or SO. The
police describe the place as a resort and
state that 1t has been the source of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 3.-The volume
of business in the stock market today
was maintained upon the same general
scale sthat Of yesterday. and the tend
ency Of the dealings at large displayed
the reactionary tendencies noted in yes
terday's closing transactions. The Euro
pean markets apparently took very Sc
rious views of the political complications
In Morocco. as evidenced in the attitude
of the German emperor. and foreign
houses were sellers in the local market
upon fairly large scale. The local
dealings were uninnuenced otherwise by
any novel developments.
The London stock market was likewise
heavy. mainly In connection with the po-
litical developments In Morocco. and for
eign houses were quite heavy sellers in
the local stock market. The Bank of
England's rate of discount was left un-
changed at u higher. and the banks
weekly statement again showed a large,
although a slightly reduced proportion
of reserves to liabilities as compared
with last week.
The larger majority in the Vermont
state elections. as indicated by the latest
returns, in favor of the republican party
appeared to cut no figure whatever in
the transactions in the market at large.
The continued weakness in the Ameri-
can Smelling shares was beyond any
doubt an influence of weight in the mar
ket at large. The exhibit of earnings re-
ported by this company must have been
a matter of more or less general knowl-
for an indefinite period. but the reveal
tion of the fact that the holdings of the
family most closely identified with the
property has been reduced to a minimum
naturally produced a most disagreeable
impression.
There was no other pressure upon the
stock market than that indicated by the
selling for foreign account and the local
proflt-taking transactions.
AS matter OF fact ever since the SEN
sational suspension of the Brown firm
operations for the short account have
been conspicuously absent. One influence
in the irregular and general heavy APP
pearance of the stock market was the
continued strength in both wheat and
corn prices at Chicago, which was taken
TO indicate that the government crop re-
port. which should be issued next Tues
day, will show serious deterioration
from the conditions which were set forth
in the August statement.
