Regular quarterly dividend on Peoples

The break in Petroleums was the fea-
ture Of the first hour. California Petro-
leum sold OF on rather heavy selling:
Mexican Petroleum sold at 50, against
g. yesterday. Standard shares, however,
were active and firm. Most of them
showed gains after the opening.
London copper consumers are now in
the market and there is big demand from
Germany and France. Electrolytic equal
to IA -s.
Leader Underwood predicts that the
new tariff bill will become a law before
septem0iS L.
Stock exchange seat sold for $4,000.
Amalgamated dividend payable August
9 to stock record July IS.
On the board 1t was thought that some
loan in California Petroleum had been
closed out in this stock. but friends of
the management said that the early de-
cline reflected persistent efforts on the
part OF the bear element to force liquida-
ton.
1t is estimated that between 20 0OO, 900
and 100000 pounds of electrolytic cop
per were purchased by consumers In the
European market yesterday at prices
ranging from al to LABS cents a
pound. and that the leading American
interests booked nearly all Of the orders
placed. Buying continued heavy yes
terday on the other side. and the market
Is quoted firm at IA 3-S. So far as the
domestic situation is concerned. however,
very little change is reported in the atti-
tude Of consumers.
Foreign firms are said to find direct
buying by Berlin in such stocks as Cana
dian Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio
after a long period. during which selling
orders have been feature.
conservative operator is quoted as
remar<ing that the best feature of the
market is the steady investment buying
irregularity in such stocks as Great
Northern. Northern Pacific, st. Paul. and
Atchison.
The rate of discount of the Bank of
Bombay was reduced from 4 to Der cent
yesterday.
More or less surprise has been ex-
pressed over the General Electric Com
pany's announcement calling for the Dor |
rowing Of not over 900 at the rate |
Of IA per cent interest for eight or nine |
months. 1t Is known that orders have
been received for some time past by both |
the General Electric and WESTINGHOUSE |
Companies in record-breaking volume, In |
June the Westinghouse did the largest |
business in its history for a single month, |
and thus far in July orders have been |
even more gratifying than in the proceed |
ing month. About the same condition |
exists with the General Electric. Ac-
cording to well-informed Interests, there
are at present no indications whatever
Of a slackening down in business received !
by either company.

BIG STRIKE AvERTED
CONGRESS PASSES BILL AMEND
ING THE ERDMAN LAW.
President Signs Measure and Threat
ened Labor War Is Ended-Six
on Arbitration Board.

Washington, July 16.-President
Wilson on Tuesday signed the New
lands bill amending the Erdman law,
from three to six members, following
its passage by both houses of con-
gress.
The railroad and labor representa-
tives %thereupon promised to submit
their contentious to arbitration, and
there will be no strike of the trainmen
Of the eastern roads, at least until aft
er such arbitration has taken place.
President Wilson characterized the
conference as Simple and satisfac-
tory"
Both parties were willing to end
their differences under the Newlands
amendment to the Erdman act, If this
amendment could be passed" said the
president. THE railroads felt that
three arbitrators, as provided by the
original Erdman act, were not a suf-
icient number to deal with the ques-
ton, and the Newlands amendment
will increase the board to six.
"The railroad representatives also
desired an Independent board of arbi-
%tration, which is provided by the New
lands bill. 1t is expected thai the
measur will be passed by both houses
and signed by me by nightfall. This,
l hope, will put an end to the differ
ences between the railroads and the
employees, and both sides will be able
by arbitration to settle all their diff
ferences amicably."

PLANS TO AID U. S. SAILORS
Secretary of tho Navy Daniels De-
clares He VIII Make Service
More Attractive.

Chicago, July 15.-With the aim Of
making a thorough inspection OF the
naval yards, training stations and
equipment on the Pacific coast, Joseph
Daniels, secretary Of the navy, accom-
panied by his wife, spent six hours in
Chicago Sunday.
The secretary said his trip at this
time has not the remotest connection
with the Japanese agitation that has
arisen in California. He said his tour
there is part of his program to visit
all naval stations throughout the
country for the purpose of familiar
izing himself with them and enabling
him to map out in a comprehensive
way the program he has in view dur
ing his occupancy of the secretary
ship.
Asked regarding the changes and
improvements he proposed to make
in the navy and it's equipment during
his term Of office, he said: 1.-THE most
marked change is in connection with
the enlisted men. I wish to make the
service more attractive than it has
been in the past and remove from 1t
the vestige that 1t is simply a position
of drudgery."

FLAMES PERIL TOWN
MICHIGAN CITY, IND, NEAR TO
DESTRUCTION BY FIRE.
confiasration RACES In Huge Lumber
Yards-loss Is Placed at
Over $1,000, OoO.

Michigan City, Ind, July 15.-This
city suffered a property loss OF over
$l,00O,OOO on Saturday, when the huge
lumber yards of the Haskell & Barker
Car company burned. The blaze was
seen by citizens Of towns a hundred
miles away.
Appeals for aid were sent to nearby
cities. Chicago rushed fire companies
with their apparatus, under Battalion
Chief Edward Buckley, to the fire on
a special train.
In the meantime dynamite was sent
from Gary, Ind, and was used in an
attempt to check the flames.
The fire started in the south end Of
the yards, near the Michigan Central
railroad. The fire company of Michi-
gan City responded at once. It was
handicapped by too few men, made
quate apparatus and the fact that
there were few hydrants in the vicin-
1ty of the fire. The flames spread
quickly to the north.
Before the arrival Of the Chicago
companies hundreds of volunteers car
rled lumber from the unburned parts
or the yard to a distance Of safety.
The Haskell & Barker Car company
Is owned by Miss Katherine Barker,
n property being held in trust by
the First Title Trust company of Chi
cago. 1t is one Of the largest con.
Germs Of its kind in the world and is
situated on the east outskirts of
Michigan City, east of the Michigan
Central tracks.

Pierre.-Advices floating into the
state Offices here are to the effect that
1t is not generally understood over
h state that the registration of vot.
ers is now in progress, marking the
first step in conformity to the present
primary law. Under the regulations
every voter in the state must personal
~ sign h registration book before
becoming eligible as a voter.
In each township, town and city, pre-
sumably with the clerk, a registration
book is now awaiting for voters to
affx their signatures and declare their
political affiliations. Those who do
not register will not be qualified to
take part in the grand December me
lees" officially designated as mass
meetings"
According to the presumed intention
of the promoters of the primary law,
the mass meetings are designed as re-
vlvals of the old New England town
meetings, but the chances are that
these sessions in South Dakota this
fall will be very lively skirmishes for
political control. The law throws VERY
little protection around the conduct
OF the meetings, and tactics of the
most modern and approved type will
likely be employed in the process of
getting results.

LAYS PANIC TO CLEVELAND
Democrat Says Alliance With "Gam-

In 1893.

Washington, July Ex-senator
Thomas, Democrat, Of Colorado, In a
speech defending the Wilson tariff
bill Of 1898 from responsibility for the
financial panic which followed,
charged former President Cleveland
and the New York banks with con-
spiracy to precipitate a calamity to
force repeal of the Sherman silver act.
Though denouncing the bill of 1893
as " a most miserable p~retense of
tariff reform" he branded the New
York stock exchange as the most
prodigious gambling hell of any age
and the Monte Carlo OF American
finance"
Its a swindler's PARADISE" he con-
tinued. 1T is a huge vampire that
sucks the blood from the arteries OF
industry"
