looked for resumption OF last Sat

Opening prices reflected degree OF
irrcguiarity, which soon turned TO
heavness.
Various conditions and Developments
were offered in explanation OF to-day's
movement. One was the absence OF
any news In connection with the
Union Pacific Southern Pacific dissoiu-
tion proceedings. although the chiot
executive OF tho first named system
was in conference during the day with
the Attorney General ut Washington.
Another deterrent factor was found In
the protracted open session Of the
United States Supreme Court. whose
deliberations continued long after the
markets closed.
There was some disposition to
pay more than passing heed to a
speech delivered last Saturday before
Il group OF bankers in the Middle West
by n representative of an influential
local banking institution. i'll which a
distinct note of caution was sounded.
Finally the day brought a number of
railroad earnings, few OF which were
favorable.

This achievement for score, of
years placed him in the front rank OF
British military authorities. But the
friends OF his colleague, Lord Roberts.
persisted in maintaining that Lord
Wolseley was not an eminently able
military man
1t cannot be disputed that Lord Rob
erts, bySnding the Boer war. virtually
ended Lord Wolseley's career, and yet
the achievements in the Transvaal, by
which Lord Roberts eclipscd his rival,
were nothing extraordinary. Wolse-
ley's plan OF campaign to push Straight
onward to Bloemfontein and johann
nesburg, in the opinion of experts, was
superior to that formed by Roberts,
but was overruled by political influ-
ence.
Lord Wolseley is not the only COM
mander who, by the Vaccinations of 4
political clique at home. was obliged
TO abandon a policy which another
later carried through TO success.

Confidence in Nellen.

From the ErOoklvn Eagle.
After all the belaboring to which the
New Haven Road and its president have
been subjected. most of which began
to make itself CONSPICUOUS when the
Grand Trunk decided to abandon building
to Boston and Providence. it is refresh
ing to see that there are spirits hardy
enough to take up the Cudgels in de-
Tense of the New Haven and i'll protest
that President Mellen is not quite the
mcrcenary wretch he has been painted.
Developments in Boston and Maine have
been unfortunate. There have been un-
fortunate developments in other quarters.
In the case of the Boston and Maine.
where the fall in the price OF the shares
has affected the price OF New Haven II
has been the fashion to knock Mr.. MeIlen,
and with a sIedse hammer. too. The
same thing happening on another ROAD
would nave been regretted ana passed
over as one of those things that were
unfortunate but could not be avoided.
II really looks as though professional
agitaIors mad got IN a good deal or their
fine work. and that their motives We're
purely mercenary. But let this be un-
derstood, President MeIlen sui has
friends and plenty of them. and that
they have not lost confidence In MN
or in the management of the road under
him. They believe that every EFFORT will
be put out TO maintain the New Haven
dividend in the interest OF the ZOO
stockholders-mostIy women and chill
dren-whose actual existence depends on
the increase dividend from tnat source.
Naturally reduction IN the dividend
would simplify some of the problems
which the management has TO solve, but
IL would be against the IDEAS and In
tentions OF MIR. Mellen. who. according to
the best information, will move heaven
and earth to keep the record intact. on
general principles, the price of New
Haven stock spells a lower dividend. but
general principles are not always to he
relied on. especially when manipulation
may have stepped In 10 bring about a
bias in them.

Lord Wolseley and Egypt.

The late Lord Wolseley was an ef-
ficient and practical fighter AMI good
commander.
In Africa he ended the Zulu war with
victory for the British arms, but he
won his title to distinction when at
Tel-El-kcbir he defeated the famous
Egyptian rebel leader. Arab Pasha.
In fact. Great Britain cannot and
should not ignore the fact that Wolse-
ley was the man who really initiated
the British occupation of Egypt, which,
