 WITH UNCERTAINTY
A Consequent Want of Animation in the Stock Market.

New York, March 1.-The perplex- ities of room traders were added to by the want of responsiveness in the stock market today to any new development. The supposed ending of the government suit against the Standard oil company revived some animation in the market. ProfeSS sional operators bought stocks late yesterday expecting to sell at higher prices to buyers who might be att tracted today by the decision. There was not .such results, and realizing sales consequently forced prices downward. Acute dullness developed in Reading on rumors of coming receivership. News from Washington pointing to future tariff revision had more effect in clogging activity than events nearer at hand. The assemb- ling of the conference over anthracite mining wages presented another is sue, the solution of which is await ed Bonds were steady.

Debt of s16o,ooo Incurred by a Priest
 Assumed by Him.

Baltimore, Md, March 1.-The rev. elations published today concerning the financial ventures of the Rev. Cas- par Ebert, recently removed from the rectorship of St. Catherine's Roman Catholic church in this city,. have caused a profound sensation insCath- ollie circles.
 The deepest sympathy is expressed for Cardinal Gibbons, who has as sumed the burden of paying Father Elbert's debts. These obligations so far disclosed amount to about s130,000, exclusive of a church debt of s2s,000. Notes were issued to banks and in dividuals in amounts ranging from s1.000 to $10.000 and were signed by Father Ebert as pastor of St. Cath erine's church. He had life insurance to the extent of s70.000. but bad bor- rowed heavily on his policies. Ac tord- ing to an official statement from Car dinal Gibbons, very little of this money was used for church purposes.
 Father Ebert is now in a sanitarium and is believed to be mentally unhal- anced

It was suggested that the insurgents enter into a compromise with the regulars whereby a commit tee would be appointed at the begin ming of the special session to revise the rules of the house Pending the report. the rules of the last house would be enforced. The sentiment was that the speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee if such committee compromise is agreed upon.
 Representative Watson, the repub- lican whip of the house, after a con- ference with Taft, estimated the strength of the republican insurgents at twenty-two. Since the president entered the fight" said Watson. the insurgents are dropping off one by one. We recognize that we have a hard fight to adopt the old rules and preserve the organization, but we be- lieve we have the matter in hand"

The evening pa per first to make an announcement of the matter in an extra edition, claims it forced the mayor to resign by informing him it had secured in formation against him of a personal nature, which had nothing to dc with his official acts, or matters referred to in the report of the late grand jury. which scored the mayor for official and private misconduct. The newspaper which makes this state ment has been hitherto a supporter of the mayor. Other newspapers have been publishing damaging statements against the mayor for some months, and recently Edward Kern, former chief of police, who resigned. to ~be appointed a member of the board> of public works by the mayor, was also forced to resign as a member of the board. It is said that Captain Tom Broadhead, also oner of the mayors recent appoin- tees, will resign tomorrow, but it is unconfirmed.
 The nature of the matter held by the newspaper against the mayor is not disclosed, and it is stated in the paper that it will not be published, now that the mayor has resigned.
 Whether the recall election will be held or the city council be permit ted to name the mayors successor Is not. settled. The council will meet tomorrow and name George A. Smith former councilman to fill the va cancy, and whether he will serve out his term or a new mayor will be elected March 26 will be determined later.

ALSO THE PIONEERS HOME
All Hangings Are to Take Place In the Penitentiary. Narrow Escape of Local Option Legislation--Hear- ings In Bridge Matter.

The session of the legislature yester- day was distinguished for the number of completed laws. Messages were re- ceived in one house or the other an nouncing that the governor had signed the following bills: Providing that capital executions shall take place at the territorial prison; the Arizona Pioneer Home bill; the Woolf bounty bill; the primary election law bill t1e first introduced in the house; the bili for the relief of John H. Godfrey, pro bate judge of Yuma county, to reim- purse him for salary he would have received except for an ambiguity of a newly enacted law. one construction of which deprived him of part of his compensation; bill removing the am- biguity of that law.
 The governor vetoed the Norton corporations bill. The veto was unan- imously sustained in the council on the motion Of Mir. Finley, who said that he had a conversation with The governor with reference to the bill, and it had been agreed that another should be passed which would meet executive objections.
 As originally drawn. the bill per mitted railroad corporations to be or ganized in this territory for holding property outside the territory. It was understood that it was intended tu meet the needs of the Randolph Mex ican lines. As the bill was amended from time to time it repealed Iractic- ally all the rstrictions thrown aboEt railroad cOrporatiOns and almost re- pealed the Sherman antitrust law anG the same feature of the interstate commerce law.
 Immediately after the veto was sus- tained. MT. Finley. presented another bill. which was passed under, a suspen- sion of the rules.
 There is more than a suspicion that many of the democrats were disap- pointed at the goveernor's approval of the primary election law. The bill had been passed without a great show of enthusiasm in either house and at times it was a question whether it would be passed. But the party was pledged to the enactment of a pri- mary law and this one was permitted to go through with the hope that that would be the end of it.
 Followed by Fate.
 The attempt to secure an irrigation law for Pinal county seems to be doomed to perpetual failure. Two years ago about this time there sue ceeded in emerging from the legisla- ture the so-Called Coleman bill It reached the governor with a mass of other Y,,aa srYr-es and tba ernver-or was
